Chapter 1
It had already been two days since the herds first day at the academy and it was Wednesday. Diego woke up before six got dressed in a light brown jacket with a hood, tee shirt pare of jeans with a pare of shoes. He then waited for everybody else until around 6:30 when Shira walked out wearing a blue tee shirt, silver leather jacket with a hood like Diego's with black skinny jeans and all of her earrings in.
"How long have you've been up?" Shira asked when she saw Diego siting on the couch of the living/dinning area of their dorm unit.
The two then just waited for everybody to wake up, Ellie walked out of the dorm wearing a brown and red knit sweeter with a long sleeve shirt with jeans and boots, she had pulled the box braids on either side of her face back and tied them together in the back. Manny was next wearing his brown jacket. Then Sid walked out wearing his usual clothes. Crash and Eddie were the last ones to wake up and walked out with a tiered look on their face.
Once everybody had gotten up they all walked to the cafeteria and went to grab breakfast. Diego, Shira, Manny and Ellie all grabbed bacon, eggs and pan cakes. Sid grabbed a bowl of serial and Crash and Eddie grabbed some waffles.
"I am going to totally loose ever one of my sparing matches." Sid said once they all had sat down at a table.
"If you payed attention more then you might not loose." Diego said.
"How am I supposed to fight, my weapon is basically a long hunting knife." Sid said in a complaining voice.
"Our teacher tells us that it doesn't matter what weapon your using as long as you know how to use the it. And last time I checked the trainer for all of the knife welders is an expert." Ellie said, trying to cheer he friend up.
"That easy for you to say, all of you had good weapons. Diego has two scimitar swords, Shira has two fencing swords, Manny has a long sword, Ellie has two blades attached by a long durable string that she can swing around, even Crash and Eddie have throwing knives!" Sid said almost yelling.
"Sid, just pay attention in class and train and you will eventually become a good knife welder." Diego said calmly, "Eventually you will beat at least on person in a sparing match."
"Diego's right, when we where fighting the sirens you did do well on holding your own." Manny reminded his small friend.
"I guess you're right." Sid said.
The bell then rang and everyone got up to get to class.
The classes that the herd had at the academy was the same as their old school, So Manny, Sid, Diego and Shira all went to chemistry first. The teacher did more hands on activities with the students and would frequently go to the lab to do labs. Today though they where going over work so they could be propered for the next lab. After science Diego had demons 101 with his sister younger sister Winter, English with Ellie and Sid, Lunch where he led the herd to a hang out spot outside under a groop of trees, then math with Shira, he had an art class with Manny and Ellie, world history with some members of the Saber pack, then finally combat, everbody in the herd had the class together along with other powermarks, Ramona Hills the wolf, Tom Willson the falcon, Marla Vinmar the dear, and Will Summers the lizard as one Power mark group group as well as Winter Saber-Wind the sparrow, John Abercromby the bear, Tallia Ark the Fox, and Mike Mills the Faret. There were other students in the class but these where the people that Diego knew as other members of the power marks, Ramona Hills ancestor was the one who started the power marks and just like her ancestor Ramona keeps her Animal spirit, who is a wolf named Wolf, out all of the time. Diego and the hers walked over to his sister and her group to go talk.
"Hey Winter." Diego said.
"Hey, you want to spar?" Winter asked not beating around the bush.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing." Diego said, "But first, I would like you to give some advice to my friends about sparing."
"Sure, what would you like to know." Winter said turning towards the rest of the herd.
"What advice to you have for fighting a stronger opponent?" Sid asked first.
"For any opponent you have you need to watch the way they move and the way they fight. When you watch your opponent you study the way that they fight and you change accordingly. You also must pay attention to your teacher." Winter told them all.
"Thanks," Ellie said before walking over to the group of people that had weapons that weren't your normal weapons like, swords, knives, hammers, spears, or guns.
"Ya, I'll keep that in mind." Sid said, walking over to the group of people that welded knives with Crash and Eddie.
"I better go to listen to what the sword teacher has to say." Manny said walking over to the sword welding teacher.
"So, are you ready to spar?" Winter asked turning back to her brother.
"Sure, just let me get the gear on." Diego said, "See you in the ring."
The two then turned a round to go get dressed in the training gear. The training gear was pretty basic, there was the area that covered the chest and shoulder area, then an area that covered the knees, and lastly the area that covered the entire lover arm and part of the hand. The gear was padded so the wearer wouldn't get injured. Diego's armor was a light orange/brown color with saber and celtic designs. Winters armor was a light grey and brown with designs of a sparrow as well as celtic designs as well.
"You ready to fight?" Diego asked when they both walked in to the arena.
"Couldn't be for ready than ever." Winter answered.
The two siblings then got into their fighting stances, Diego summoned his two scimitar sword along with the orange saber. Winter then summoned her sparrow which came from the tattoo and a long umbrella that could when opened could be used as a shield, when closed it could be used as a sword because it could be closed up very small and has a sword like point at the end.
"Then lets get started." Diego said with a mischievous grin.
