Chapter 1: The Arrival
In Discipline, you can hear shouts as the four new mages and their teachers and the two new mages-in-training are arguing.
"Give it back! Briar! Give it back or I'll drown you!" Kira shouted.
"What? Give what back? I don't have anything that's yours. All I have is this mirror." He said teasingly.
"That's what I need you to give back, you THIEF!" Kira yelled.
"Why thank you for calling me a thief." Briar said approvingly as he ran.
"Briar, just give it back to her." Lark said.
"And spoil his fun?" Daja joked.
As he passed Aria, she stuck her foot out. Briar went sprawling over the floor. Kira saw her chance and jumped at Briar.
"Loser." Aria calmly said as she walked into the room she shared with Kira.
"BRIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kira yelled in his ear while bouncing on his back.
"Fine, here." He handed her mirror to her.
That's when Niko and Frostpine decided to walk in.
"Well, Briar and Kira, what are you doing?" Niko looked at them suspiciously.
"Looks like Briar stole something again." Said Frostpine laughing.
"That's EXACTLY what he did." Kira bounced even harder.
"SAVE ME FROM THIS MAD GIRL!" Briar shouted.
"No, we'll let you get what you deserve." Rosethorn told him harshly.
Aria was standing at the doorway of the room. Briar looked to her for help. She gave Briar a glare that could kill. Then, he looked at Kira. She gave him another glare.
"Won't anyone help me?" He whined.
"Never pick on me again or else I'll freeze you in ice." Kira got up from him.
"I'm out of here." Aria spread her wings, but Niko grabbed her arm.
"It's time for you to learn how to meditate before you burn down Winding Circle or Kira drowns Winding Circle." He joked.
"Fine!" Kira and Aria both barked.
"We have to do something about your attitude, especially you Aria." Frostpine said.
"Let's just do it already." Aria replied.
Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar sat down in a circle. Kira and Aria followed them. Lark drew a circle and began.
"First concentrate on your main powers. Then relax your whole body." Lark ordered the two. "Then, put your power into a thing while breathing to the count of 7."
"For example, my student Jory put her power into a jar." Daja said.
Kira imagined herself putting her power into an ice cube. Aria imagined herself putting her magic into a crystal of fire. Sandry counted for them while they breathed. Then, after a few minutes, Tris heard a few snores. Kira and Aria had fallen asleep.
"This is useless. We'll try again tomorrow." Lark observed.
Briar snuck up behind the two girls and yelled right in their ears.
"AH!!!!!!!!!!" The two girls yelped. They both jumped on Briar and wouldn't let go.
"You're choking me! Let go!" He choked out.
"Ew!!!!!" The girls said when they figured out that they were holding onto Briar. They got off and slapped him.
"Now can I go for a flight?" Aria asked.
"Fine. Do as you like. We're not going to get anything into your heads today." Niko said with a sigh.
"YAY! Are you coming?" Aria asked Kira.
"No, not this time. I want to walk around Winding Circle." Kira answered.
Aria just shrugged and flew off. Kira walked out the door and headed toward the Water Temple. No one saw Briar follow her.
"Kira, wait. I have to talk to you." Briar cried.
Kira stopped. "What do you want?" She said in an impatient way.
"I." Briar began. "I."
"Spit it out already! I don't have all day you know." Kira snapped.
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I didn't know you would get so worked up about that mirror."
"It's alright."
They didn't notice Aria hovering overhead, obviously enjoying this.
"and I really like you." Briar spat out quickly. Then, he gave Kira a kiss.
"Well, well, well." Aria said from above.
Kira and Briar separated abruptly.
"The princess, my friend, and the loser,. well., the loser. This isn't right. I wonder what Rosethorn would say." She pondered.
"No! Don't tell her. She'll kill me for kissing a girl that's younger than me." The color drained from his face.
"Don't worry. I'm not going to spill your business. They might think I actually care." Aria tried to calm him down.
"She won't tell." Kira said soothingly. The color returned to Briar's face. Then, he started to blush.
"Pathetic." Aria mumbled.
The three of them walked back to Discipline, Kira and Briar holding hands and Aria knocking into Briar now and then with her wings.
"Where have you three been?! It's past the bed time." Rosethorn bellowed the minute the three set foot into the cottage.
"uh. We're tired. We're going to bed." Aria covered.
Briar, Aria, and Kira headed upstairs to the rooms. Aria and Kira walked into their room. Briar was about to walk in.
"Back off, Lover boy." Aria put her hand out to stop him.
"Well, good night, Kira. And Good Night, my little bird." He said. Then, he kissed Kira again.
"I'll going to cut you into pieces!" Aria grabbed a feather out of her wings. It automatically turned into a blade. Kira held her back.
"Let me at him! Let me at that scum!" Aria threatened.
"Run, Briar!" Kira shouted to him. He ran all the way to his room.
"Bed!" Rosethorn shouted up the stairs.
Kira and Aria dressed for bed.
As they got into bed, Aria asked, "Do you like him?"
"Who?" Kira was confused.
"Briar, duh! Who else would I be talking about?" Aria snapped.
"Yeah, I like him."
"You actually like that loser?"
"He's not a loser. He was acting sweet today. After I sat on him." The two of them cracked up.
"Like I said before, he's pathetic." And she went to bed.
After a few minutes Aria was asleep. Kira laid on her back for a while, then, she ,too, fell asleep.
