Rai walked into the gates of Hano calmly but happily. This was his chance to unlock everything, and it had presented him so nicely in front of him. As he stepped into the school ground, Rai took in the explosion of magical energy around him. It was like a current of energy running through him.
"Feels good," he smiled.
As he walked into Hano, he read a message board that gave names and room numbers. Rai scanned for his name and found it next to another name. So I'm sharing..... Rai started. Heh that's cool.....
Rai walked up the dorm stairs and into the room that was to be his. As he opened the door, he noticed another boy already in the room sprawled out on a bed reading a tiny black book.
"Sup?" Rai asked.
The boy just looked up at him and down at the book.
"So you're the other guy I'm sharing this room with," Rai tried breaking the ice but found that there was too much of it. The other boy just continued reading with a sort of lack of interest expression.
"My name's Rai," Rai tried again. "What's yours?"
"Does it matter?" the other boy answered.
"Um...." Rai answered.
"My name is Eliot," the boy said as he flipped a page in the black book. "I'm from England and I came here to graduate with honors in in alchemy and necromancy."
"Wow you already know where you're headed," Rai started happily. "So then do you know a lot about those two subject already then?"
"No," was the answer.
"Hu?" Rai started.
"I didn't even believe they existed two weeks ago," Eliot stated as he turned yet another page. "But it seems I was proven wrong. So I studied up on it and read a few hundred books. I think I have a clear understanding of all magical creatures at this point in time. The reason I decided on those two subjects because they seem the hardest"
Rai's mouth twitched for a moment.
"Were you raised in magic in anyways?" Rai asked confused just as to how Eliot had managed to get in Hano with that kind of attitude.
"Nope," Eliot answered without looking up from the book. "Not in the least. The only reason I am here now is because of certain circumstances regarding my parents."
"Ah......." Rai answered trying not to step on any toes in this talk. "I'm from Ireland, and I grew up surrounded by magic and things....if you ever need help with anything just as-"
"I don't need help," Eliot answered sharply. "I can always consult a book."
"Ah well hahah," Rai answered. "Ok then.....so when does class start?"
"In a couple of hours," Eliot said looking at his watch.
Rai caught a glimpse of the watch for a moment.
"Nice watch.....haven't seen anything quite like it....where did ya get it?" he asked.
Eliot didn't answer, and instead, he pushed himself off his bed and put the book in his bag.
"No where," he answered. "It's just a watch. Anyways please stop talking and let me study."
Rai tried to smile but fell silent. "Ok then," he answered.
Rai walked over to his bed and set his things down. As the shadows crisscrossed on the bed, Rai smiled.
"Hello Shadow...." he said quietly.
The shadow didn't reply, but it made a slight nod. Rai laughed and looked out the window at the rest of the Hano buildings silently.
This will be an interesting year..... Rai thought to himself. Wonder if everyone will survive it.
