"Dear Raven,
It has come to my attention that … rises, I want … please do so swiftly and quietly,
Sincerely,
O.D.I.N."
Closing the note, she placed it into her shoulder bag before walking down the hall to her classroom.
"….and we have a new student this year, a transfer student from Scotland." She opened the door, with a smile on her face. First impressions were always the most important. "Ah here she is, would you like to introduce yourself?"
With a quick nod, she bowed, remembering Japanese courtesy, "Hello, I am Raven Shepard." She said with a slight awkwardness, "Pleasure t' meet you all." She smiled, her rusty red wavy/curvy hair blew slightly from the gentle wind coming from the large windows to the side, pale silver eyes gleamed as she smiled as sweetly as she could, and a green and white uniform, slightly crinkled as a sign of disorganization.
"Yes well, please take a seat Miss Walker."
Spotting an empty seat on the second row, she placed her bag down as she took her seat. Taking out a small digital planner, she listened to low whispers, "Scotland?"
"She doesn't sound Scottish…."
"What's with that hair, did she dye it?"
"Who knows… what I'm more worried about are those eyes, they look almost predatorial like…"
Sighing, she shook her head and muttered to herself, "Xenophobics…."
Lifting his head, Ken yawned quietly before turning his head, slightly shocked to see Raven sitting next to him. "Oh, Hello…" He said, feeling a mildly dangerous aura coming from Raven.
Turning to him, she smiled, "Hello."
Slamming her books against the desk to gather the attention of the class, the teacher, Mrs. Sasaki, Smiled, "I know you're all in a new classroom, and it's exciting, but now is the time for lessons not talking." Handing the books to the first person on the front row, she continued, "Take one book and pass it on."
Looking at her planner, she memorized the times and classes she had each day, "Monday… Math, Japanese, Computer-"Hey-"Tuesday-"New girl… Ravine or something like that!"
"Raven and don't bother me I'm…" Looking at another boy next to her holding the text books, she set down her planner, "Oh, sorry." She smiled apologetically before taking one of the books and passing the rest of them on.
After that little incident, she continued classes quietly. When lunch break came up, the band of digidestined grouped together in the computer room, amongst them, Ken, whom recently moved into the same high school as the others. 2 years had passed since the fall of Malo-Myotismon, however most of their faces grew worried when they found Izzy at the computer with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong Izzy?" Kari asked.
"It's strange…" He muttered, "Come take a look at this…"
Walking over to the computer, they found an odd looking gate open on the computer. "What is it?"
He shook his head, "I don't exactly know what it is, and I thought it was just a different looking portal, but the one we entered had been closed for some time. When I came on today however, the computer blackened before this came up."
"So what exactly is it?" Cody asked, holding Upamon.
"I don't know, although when I thought I finally got somewhere, this came up." Clicking some keys on the keyboard, a little riddle came up.
"To open this door, I must have the answer, to, what am I?
I am similar to digidestined,
yet different as well,
I look like silver and carry some to;
as quiet as a grave,
yet eerie I seem,
to carry a heart,
within my team. Of what do I speak of?"
"Like a digidestined yet not? What does that mean?" Shaking his head, Izzy sighed, "I don't know, but this riddle is the only way to get in I fear, my digivice does not work at all."
Davis grinned widely, "Ah c'mon Izzy that's what you said 3 years ago and we were able to open it."
"Yes I know, but for some reason I don't get the feeling that this will open with your digivices…"
Lifting up their own digivices, they all yelled, "Digiport open!" …. No response….
"Huh?" Davis yelled, "Digiport open…. Open, open, open, Open!"
"Calm down Davis, before your head explodes…"
"What did you say?"
Pondering, Ken looked at the digiport… Elsewhere leaning against a wall, Raven looked at her phone before it began to beep.
"Raven?" A shadowed figure stood on a tree branch behind her "Yes… but as orders say, remain discreet alright?"
She muttered, looking up when she felt a raindrop hit her nose. "Don't worry, hiding in shadows are my specialty."
