Nina Grey
"My name is Antonina Grey call me Nina. My mother was a Dark Faery in fact she's the ruler of the dark court. I can cause nightmares or dreams, control darkness, fly, telepathic, and telekinetic." I said softly.
Ronald Star
I nodded to Nina and she stood slipping off her cloak revealing her wings. She came to the front of the class and smiled at everybody. "Nina has been coming to this school for two years and has been training to control her abilities for twice that. She suggested the idea to me to teach a class designed to help students find what calms them so they won't have what happened in the cafeteria happen outside the school. This class is to help you find control." I said and then Nina stepped up. "What helps keep me calm is music. I'm here to teach you how to meditate and find your center." She said then sat down again. She was followed by several of the males eyes and I grinned. Nina was an attractive one and a very sweet person.

Yes and no this class is designed to help students control their emotions which will help with control their abilities as well and possibly live among normal society.

Ah, okay. Cool. Is there a class to develop your skills? If not, Vercingetorix will have to create one...

Miss Wirestone

Miss Wirestone finished writing her note with a flourish. She inserted it into the bronze tube and tied it to Argus' leg.
"Take it to Ronald Star," she told him. "Off you go."
As he flitted off, she stood and stalked out to the grounds, where her assessment was set up.

"You are to go out to the grounds through exit five for your next lesson," Ronald Star read to the class. "It seems Miss Wirestone is planning her primary assessment. You may follow Argus. He'll lead you there."
Out of a chorus of groans a voice called, "Sir, sir! Is Miss Wirestone a werewolf?"
"Or a troll?"
"She's an ogre!"
"Sir! What is the assessment?"
Ronald laughed. "Miss Wirestone has decided, for her own reasons, not to reveal the nature of her... affliction. And you'll enjoy the assessment, I'm sure."

The bell rang and the class filed out after Argus. The raven flew fast and the students had to run to keep up.

Nina Grey
I pulled my cloak on over my wings and humming 'Nightmare' by Avenged Sevenfold underneath my breath followed the class. I muttered at how slowly they were moving and dodged through them despite the fact that they were running then I exited first. Argus was already settling on Ms. Wirestone's shoulder. "Hello Ms. Wirestone." I greeted my voice very respectful. She nodded once but then refocused on the rest of the class exiting the building most panting hard. I smiled slightly I wasn't even winded but I let it fade wondering what the assessment was. I kept humming underneath my breath singing inside my head.
"You are without a doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."

Morgania Phoenixa Jordan, Merlin Dragonis Jordan and Miss Wirestone

The raven flitted out through exit five. Miss Wirestone watched imperiously, arms folded over her clipboard. The half-fairy was first to arrive, not even out of breath. Miss Wirestone gave her a sardonic look before turning to the rest of the students who had all arrived.
"This preliminary assessment is to test the level of your abilities and the extent of damage they cause. All parts of the course are replaceable where they are not indestructible. You are to run through every stage as I call you. Jordan, Morgania."

She swallowed and walked up to the teacher.
"Come. You are to complete this obstacle course in as little time as possible. Remember that you are in no danger."
Around the corner, a large contraption was set up.
"Your time starts now."
Morgania sprinted determinedly up a ramp onto a narrow walkway. As she balanced precariously on the plank, twin jets of fire spurted from tubes on either side of her. She nearly unbalanced and windmilled her arms desperately. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Miss Wirestone marking something on her clipboard. She's a troll, she thought to herself.

She dropped to her knees and crawled the rest of the way, passing more distractions. Suddenly the plank tipped down and she slid into a dark chute, falling heavily into a tank of icy water. The top closed in and she could not see or breathe. She kicked desperately at the walls of the tank, but she could not find a way out. Just before her lungs were empty, she transformed. Her phoenix flames instantly vaporised the water, and the top of the tank shot off, allowing her to finally breathe.

A trapeze fell down in front of her and she hauled herself out, but before she could catch her breath, the swing slid down, turning rapidly, and smacked her into a wall. Then she was falling, and falling, and falling. The wind was knocked out of her, even though she fell onto a soft mattress. She felt her feathers burning a hole in the fabric, but got up and scaled the next wall before her. She saw Miss Wirestone keeping pace beside her.
On the other side of the wall, there were no handholds and she jumped and landed with an impact that shook her whole frame. There was another hundred metres of obstacles before she finally crossed the finish.

"You have completed the course," Miss Wirestone said blandly. "You may rejoin your classmates."

Lilith ~ on her way to Miss Wirestone's class

I skipped towards where Miss Wirestone was conducting her experiment, humming along a little tune I had picked up in Jerusalem all that time ago. The tortures inflicted on Christians had been quite inspiring... of course, master Vercingetorix was behind all that, I knew. Oh, how I looked up to him! Royalty in demons, a very king, and I got to be with him!
Oh... there they were. Some sort of obstacle course was set up. Many were failing... of course Vercingetorix was, as always, right. The students needed proper training. And the master had entrusted me to do it! I wouldn't fail him.
"Miss Wirestone," I said, drawing near.
The woman looked at me, lips curling downwards.
"The Headmaster wishes to inform you I will be teaching the next class," I continued, ignoring her look. If she wanted to be mean, so it went. "You're welcome to attend."

Charles "Charile Daniels" Firestone

I followed the others, then heard the instructor call my name. I hate obstacle courses. I managed about half way through when I was shot into a tank full of electric eels. I tried to stop myself from going dragon, but the eels were so slimey and starting to get pretty hostile as well as a bit friendly. I couldn't stand eels. I just couldn't. I went full dragon, shattering the tank from the inside. I sulked the rest of the way through the course, forced myself back to human, and growled at the instructor, "Don't ever put me through that again. I hate eels, especially the electric ones." I stomped back to the others, soaking wet. If I had to go through the course again, I'll be breathing fire before I get in a tank full of eels.
Look down and show some mercy if you can.
Look down, look down, upon your fellow man.

Lilith

I watched the dragon boy - the one Vercingetorix had warned me about - storm off, muttering something about eels.
I hurried after him and grabbed his shoulder. He turned angrily, then halted when he saw me, running his eyes up and down.
"Now now," I said, giggling. "It's rude to storm off! Stick around, and I promise I'll teach you something worthwhile."

Charles "Charlie Daniels" Firestone

I raised my brow. "As long as it doesn't involve eels. Even my mother knows I don't like eels. Now everyone knows I can't stand being underwater with eels." I noticed my tail was showing, so I stepped on it to make myself force it back. "Also, I have a hoarding problem that gets the best of me and a mystery that revolves around my father. Like my mother, I'm looking for my father in hopes for learning the ropes of being a dragon. Which in my case is how to fly, since I never learned how because I was raised by my human mother."

Zoey

When I saw that course I almost fainted.

"Zoey, Your turn. Dragon's first." She says with a smirk. I clentch my fists and go on it, staring off with the walkway. I balanced myself. Just then, something shot at me. I fell, swinging my arms around the wood before I could fall into the eels. I hate eels. Almost all Dragons do. I swung my legs around just as a fireball hit me in the side. I screamed, glancing at it.

Water...Water...

I dropped myself and shifted into full dragon, the tank shattering. I flew up, screaching. I landed, shifting again and when I hit the ground, I rolled.

I rolled on my back, soaking wet. "Don't. Make. Me. Do. That. Again." I said through gritted teeth.
All you need is faith, trust, and a little bit of pixie-dust!

Miss Wirestone

Miss Wirestone saw the next girl fail the test utterly. As the bedraggled half-dragon stalked past, telling her never to make her do this again, she scrawled the feared red ring on her clipboard. Catching the girl glancing at it, she snarled, "Just in case you thought it was a six, it's a zero."

Lilith's visit had set her in a remarkably foul mood. Turning, she spotted her talking to one of her students. "Clear off, you," she shouted. "I'm not done with that one yet!" She fired a few rounds into the ground around her for good measure. "Off my terrain!"

The girl skipped back with a giggle and ran off, waving at the Firestone boy. She called the next student. She still had several to do before the next round began: emotional and mental fitness.

Antonina Grey
I ran neatly up the platform and balancing just barely bent backwards when twin jets of flame flew above me. I smelled burnt hair my own most likely. Axes swung toward me and I rolled forward tucking my wings as close as I could to me. I laid there but sprung up again when I saw an axe swing towards me. I reacted instinctively using darkness to block it but not before it nicked my wing. I ran through the rest of the course and ended up in front of Ms. Wirestone. I looked up at her and she smiled with a slightly grim approval. I nodded knowing we had somewhat of mutual respect if only temporary. I twisted my head and looked at my wing. It was healing but I saw a thin line of silver blood running to the ground. where it hit nightshade sprung up. I settled back to watch the rest of the group noting Lilith running off after waving at Charles. I didn't particularly care for her nor did most of the other students.
