Velvet Abyss

“Lively class we’ve got here guess I’ll get this over with.” A handsome boy with light pink hair and arresting amber eyes strode down the steps to the board he had an extremely lackadaisical air about him which was refreshing considering the bitch that came before him.

“Here’s my info, no questions.”  

Name: Kaim Favre

Age: 17

Height: 184cm

From Lancaster Alliance

Affinity: Onyx

“A fellow Lancastrian huh, pleasure.”  Drake extended his hand

“Don’t talk to me, traitor.”  

“Right…” Drake sighed.

Mari was beginning to think that this class was a lost cause, a traitor’s son, a racist, a demi-human who can’t defend himself and a guy who looks like he’d fall asleep on the battlefield. Mari couldn’t wait to see what the rest were like.

“Alright let’s get too it….” Another girl with tanned skin and raven hair tripped down the stairs, face planting into the cold hard tile floor below.

“Ah, that hurt…” the girl winced.

“Not the most graceful of introductions.” Mari whispered.

The girl jumped up and flipped around, blood dripping from her bruised and battered nose; she seemed more concerned with her appearance than the fact that she was bleeding

                                                                             Name: Madoka Usagi

                                                                                Age:  18

                                                                                Height: Short

                                                                               From: The Hyogo Kingdom

                                                                               Affinity: Gale 

“As you can see, I’m a demi-human, just like Aeolus… well, not exactly, I mean because he’s a Feris while I’m a Cottontail.”

The girl had rabbit ears, teeth and a small puffy tail and her last name was a little on the nose in Mari’s opinion, but she seemed sweet enough and was the textbook definition of cute.  

“I’m pretty dumb, but I hope we can be friends.” Madoka said, bowing.

“Who’d be friends with ugly trash like you.” Lilith laughed.

“I would” Mari said, raising her hand.

“There’s no accounting for poor taste.”

“I understand that your attitude is the norm in Dresden, but if you haven’t noticed we’re not in Dresden and secondly, we’re at war, you narrow-minded bitch. “

“So if you make one more cruel remark, you won’t need to worry about the Kingdom because I’ll kill you myself.” Yoshiki said slamming his fist and denting the table”

“Two left let’s wrap this up people.” Yoshiki slumped back in his chair.

“Finally! I hate waiting it makes me anxious.” A boy with hair like snow and sparkling hazel eyes said vaulting from his desk in the second row to the board in a single movement.

Name: Tyrian Oxcross

Age: 20

Height: 188cm

From: The Dresden Kingdom

Affinity: Arashi.

Arashi… The word cut through Mari like a searing knife, the name of her  son that she’d never get to lay eyes on again, a name that she never thought nor wanted to think about due to it being too painful.

Why the hell is an element called Arashi… It seemed random but there was no point asking about it’s just an unfortunate coincidence

“Seven down, One to go. Make it quick, Mari.”

“Don’t rush me.”

Mari strutted down to the board and picked up the piece of chalk and moved to an open spot on the board.

Name: Mari Anno

Age: 18

Height: Short

From Shikishima Village

Affinity: Void

“Come again?” Beatrice said, looking bewildered.

“We don’t have time for jokes.” Drake added.

“There hasn’t been a void mage in living memory.” Lilith jeered.

“Lilith has anyone ever told you you’re a fucking idiot.”

“I don’t want to be lectured by some demi lover.”

“So what’s you proper element?” Kaim asked.

“Void, I literally used it not even five minutes ago”

“No, that was clearly shade magic.” Beatrice said, twirling her hair.

“Mari just give them a demonstration so they’ll shut up.” Hina said.

“Sure thing, Hina.”

“Void Magic Third Form: Sanguine Orthrus”.

“Oh, shit” Yoshiki groaned.
