Most people only know of the world as Ice or Ash. A barren wasteland, unfit for life. But, if you head south, from Ice, cross the Deaths Tundra, survive to trek across the Ice Bridge, and live through the Forgotten Forest, you’ll come to a beautiful place. To reach this place from Ash, you must cross the Plains of Fire, Cinder’s Gorge, and Golems’ Mountains.
This place is beautiful, and overflowing with life. Shiza is a city full of the hustle and bustle of its daily life. It is a sprawling city, full of many different species. Many come from far and wide to visit, and especially to attend the School of Maolik. The forest that surrounds Shiza is the home of many different peoples, and each always sends their best student to study at the School of Maolik.
Only the best of the best of the best of Mages-In-Training are let into Maolik. And only those that survive graduate. Students of many different races and backgrounds gather in peace under the roof of one building to learn and master the most complex forms of magic.
Because magic usually involves an intense connection to nature and the environment, almost all students go nowhere without their Familiar. Familiars are intelligent animals that only the chosen mage can speak mind-to-mind with. Familiars are exceedingly important to studying at the School of Maolik.
Will you graduate?

Katia looked around at the city-goers as she rode atop Nina. They stared back at the elf riding the nighthunter with looks of ranging emotions and thoughts. Katia saw both acceptance and rejection in those many eyes. WIth a sigh, she tipped her head to the left. Nina followed her mental direction change, taking them onto the shcool grounds.
Students swarmed the front courtyard. They all varied in size, shape, species, and color. And their Familiars were just and wide-ranged. Nina narrowly avoided stepping on someones little wyvern, who chattered at her irritably.
"I'm not liking this crowd," Nina told her rider.
"I know, I know," Katia replied aloud, patting the cat's shoulder, "but we have to get through it to get to the actual building itself." The elf chuckled at her sarcasm. "Lets go then," she added as the crowd began moving toward the fron doors, heading inside.

Emmaline rested in the topmost branches of the largest tree in the school's court yards. It wasn't really comfortable, but it was well hidden, in the Dark Yard. Well techincally it was a court yard, but there were no doors that lead to it, to she had to made a leap of fate from her dorm room window.
She was never really accepted by anyone at the school, Cheshires being the spawn of insanity, and human being what they were, both had different thoughts about her. The cheshires thought she was weak , and the humans just thought she was crazy.
But at this point she really didn't care about all of that, it wouldn't help her cause anyway...
Emmaline looked down at the little purple sleeping (or he looked like it anyway) jackalope in her lap, who was giving of a hilarious bunny snore.

Katia and Nina followed the crowd. The stidents were filing into a room through one door and out through another door. In this room, Katia recieved her schedule and her room key. "Lets get unpacked," she said to Nina. The nighthunter nodded, and they headed to their room.
The room was huge. The large bed was covered with a thick dark-blue comforter. The worktable, bedside table, wardrobe, and bedframe were all made of dark cherry wood. There was a stone bowl with continual running water for quick washing. The fountain gave the room a sense of bubblyness. Katis smiled as she pulled back the heavy, dark blue, damask curtains that covered the huge, east-facing, four-paned window.
"This is cool!" she said, looking over the courtyard below. though it was only about midday, the courtyard was completely dark. "Chekc this out," she said, gesturing for Nina to come look.
"How strange,' the nighthunter commented, "there is someone down there, but there is no doorway... hmm'
Katia squinted down at the court yard. "You're right about the door," she said, "But how do you know there is someone down there?"
"I can sense their familiar,' Nina said simply. Katia nodded with a 'duh' expression, and stepped away from the window.
The elf began pulling things from her bags. She had many books to set on the table, along with her other tools-of-the-trade. She hung up all of her clothes in the wardrobe put her personal items in the drawers at the wardrobe's bottom.

Emmaline was thinking about herself, not something she did very often because she was never very fond of herself. She was always a short person, but that never bothered her. She was practically tinted purple, her hair was a light purple, her cat-like eyes were a dark lavender. Her claws were purple too, yes claws, another cat-like piece from her feline parentage. Her ears seemed normal during her childhood, until the day she started using magic, then poof, she had purple cat ears. Her dorm room was a variety of purple shades, even Ben was purple. Hell she didn't even like purple.
Ben caught on to the feeling of emotions coming from Emmaline, he had felt in many times before, and even though he chose not go reading her mind all the time, he could still tell that she was thinking about herself.
"Emmaline" he said, pulling her out of her trance. "oh, um, yeah" Emmaline mumbled out. " We should go, the begin of school year ceramony starts soon" Emma made an effort to get up, but meerly woobled and fell from the tree. Her reflexes allowed her to land on her feet but she was still tired. Ben laughed silently at her mishap and leaped from the tree, while in midair he morphed to the size of a horse. "I'll get you up this time, we did do a lot of traveling today" and with that said she climbed onto his back and with a single bound the large jackalope had them back into the large purple dorm room.

Katia sighed as she moved her books from the table to a bookshelf. Why did she have to bring so many? Nina had gone to sleep on Katia's bed and was naturally taking up the whole thing. Katia chuckled at the cat. The elf looked up as a shadow passed over the still-open window, and she ran over to see what it was. She had just missed it as what-ever-it-was disapeared into the next-door window. Katia poked her head out of her door to see if someone would leave the room. She didn't want to go through the year, without having met anyone.

Ben landed surprisingly quietly for his current size, then again anything with feet that fluffy and soft could go anywhere unheard, but dont let the fluff fool you, there were big-a** claw under all of it, and Emmaline has seen then in action.
Emmaline sighed as she say the many shadow creatures that her dancing across the walls. Those little buggers were drawn to her like moths to a lamp. She usually didn't mind them, they weren't very smart but if they were in a good mood they would send messages for her, in the Shadow language of course, but who really wants to sleep knowing that little creatures are watching you all night.
She send Benjamin a pleading look, who was back to the size of a normal rabbit and sprawelled over a large purple pillow. He gave an amused snort and said "I will sent up a ward against them later, but we should go the ceramony will be starting and we shouldn't be late again..."
"Heh, I am never late, I show up exactically when I feel like it" and with that they headed out, Ben balance upon her head

Katia watched the pair leave the room. she said nothing, but went back into her own room. She checked the time by looking out the window and noting the position of the sun. She would be late if she didn't hurry.
"Nina!" she exclaimed, "come on, we're gonna be late!" Nina shook sleep from her mind as she stretcghed on Katia's bed.
"Alright, alright, I'm up' the nighthunter replied. they left the room and hurried down the hall.

"ehh, come on Ben, is it a left or a right?" She was practically begging the jackalope. "heh, no, it is about time you learned your way around this place". It had only been a few minutes and Emmaline had managed to get herself completely lost, in a part of the school, that looked to be abandoned. "When was the last time someone has been backed here?" she questioned. Ben took this time to look around an relized where they were, he was almost amazed, Emmaline had managed to get herself lost in a resricted part of the school, that was designed to be impossible to find. The jackalope shook his head, "oh, probably the 80's" he responded. "The 1880's ??!!!??" she demanded, motioning over to a skeloton with bits of armor still clinging to the bones.
After much wandering, and finially getting directions from Ben, they found themselves back out in the front school yard. "FREEDOM" she cried, but quickly silenced herself when she gained questioning stares from some of the crowd. She joined the other students gathered around a podium, where the headmaster was preparing to speak. But she could care less about the speach, it was the same every year 'Welcome to a new year...... learn some magic..... don't fail...... yada yada yada ....... blah blah blah.....' She was more concerned about the students, she was already sizing herself up against them. She passed many familiar faces, stoping a moment to stare down her arch enemy, Gregory. He was a goblin, his wiry white hair and pointed teeth and nose, were not exactically attractive, and his familiar hadn't gotten any prettier, the discusting this resembled a overly fat, giant, smelly gila monster. But she quickly moved on, her eyes passed a variety of creatures and familiars, but non that were out of the ordinary. Until she saw one, an elf, they were rare to see, they usually kept to themselves. And her familiar.... Emmaline's mind made a 'oooooo' sound, 'a nighthunter' she thought 'this could be interesting'

Nina yawned as the headmaster spoke and Katia tapped her on the side. "Don't be rude," she whispered in elvish. Sitting upright, the nighthunter was half an elf-body taller than Katia. the cat flicked her tail at her. Katia just rolled her eyes. the headmaster was finishing up his speech and Katia had started looking around absently. She noticed a girl starring at her. She gave a small smile and nodded. "Hello," she said in the common language.

'Oh crap! We have been discovered' she thought, more to herself then to Ben. But she returned an nervous smile in return, and gave a weak "Hey". Ben gave a amused snort 'Hah, way to creep everyone out the first day back' But determinded not to fail, she continued " How many years have you been here?"
