Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jake studied Xavier as he took off his coat and prepared. Well it certainly looks like he has been doing some training over the break. He thought to himself as he took off his cloak to reveal a black tee shirt, some loose fitting jeans, and black combat boots. This was unusual wear, both for an elf and a master of the wind house, but he found them rather comfortable and enjoyed the reaction he got when people saw his attire for the first time. He also watched Cassandra out of the corner of his eye and allowed a small grin of satisfaction as he watched Cassandra knock over several things. Good job Cassandra, keep up the good work. He mentally praised her. Then turning his full attention to Xavier once more he said, "I certainly hope you remember the rules. But just in case you forgot them here they are again. Your objective is to incapacitate me. You are also allowed to use any spells you have learned here. Just be sure to avoid harming Cassandra." He added as a sort of afterthought. It wasn't because he didn't care about her, it was just that it's been a while since he had a novice with him. "Alrighty then you make the first move." He got in a defensive stance, more out of habit than out of need, as he waited to see what Xavier's first move would be.

Edward followed the two girls. "This sounds like it could be fun," he said to himself. He noticed a bit of..whats the word...cattiness between Sera and Ash. He would have to talk to Amaya about it, but first, he wanted to learn how to control his mind from the flames. It sounded like it was going to be a bit like the candles. He sighed, stuffing his hands into his pockets and feeling the sunlight on his head.

All the praise went unnoticed by Aizith. Something did not feel right. Something was happening, but what? Master Atta had constantly talked about something coming, and how she could feel it. Was Aizith beginning to feel it too? She could sense the presence of darkness in the rooms, something that wanted to dampen all the flames.

As Master Atta rushed out, she ran after her, jogging once more to keep up. "Master Atta, something's wrong." Aizith said, in between breaths as she caught up. "There's something wrong here. I can feel it. It's like Titan wants me to know that something's not right here. I can feel the shadows threatening us all. What do we do?"

Once bored, Yui headed back to the lake to see that her master was gone. It was a relief for her as she sat at the edge, pulling and pushing the water slightly. She let out a sigh and wondered if her master is able to put up with her. Everyone else gave up and she was starting to give up too.

As Atta walked away she had been feeling the Earth and Titan himself was seeing what she would do. She was almost knocked aback by the feeling she had gotten. She knew the other masters would have felt this one. If they hadn't yet that would know she had. She looked back at Aizith. "I was trying not to alarm you Aizith, which was why I was trying to teach you 'new' things. Aizith, we are going to protect this school. I did not know you could feel it. Titan really is blessing you today. I guess he is slightly punishing me for being allusive to you. For not being truthful today. So we will be arming this school. And starting right now." She said as she continued to the front of the school. "Oh great Titan, please forgive my over protectiveness. But let me help protect your school." She muttered to herself.

She was planning to put a wall around the school. She would need some help. "I'm planning on a wall. But we need to talk to the other Masters, so that they are all understanding of what we shall do. Each has been told of what I have been feeling. But something will happen. I'm not sure if it's tonight tomorrow night or next year. But we need to fortify this school. The others are outside. If you will go get Master Jake and ask him to meet me in the middle of the outside 'classrooms'." She said urgently. She wouldn't act without a consensus from the other masters. She herself knew where Amaya was. She could feel the movement of the molten rock of magma. She sighed. She wished she could heal that area, but since Amaya always went there. There was no time for it to completely heal. That's where she went first.

"I thought I had burned them past the point of even her expertise?" Amaya asked, feeling rather disappointed in herself for not having done so yet apparently.

Walking over to him now, she gave Maverick a playful smile. "I have several minutes in fact. What seems to be the problem?" She asked, cocking her head to the side as she now leaned on a cold pillar.

Nodding her head, Amaya sighed. "I've sensed it. The presence is much stronger to me, but I've felt it looming. My flames are always restless..." She murmured, crossing her arms over her chest. Looking to him, she gave him a soft smile and walked over, putting a hand on his cheek. "I wouldn't fear for them too much. Even if the world is falling apart, they've got you, me, Atta and Jake at the very least to protect them the best that we can." She told him, trying to cheer him up a little.
