"My vision seems to be failing me... Are you a boy or a girl?" Said the headmaster in his wacky looking astral robe.

"Um, are you kidding me? I'm clearly a boy." I said standing before the headmaster in his home.

My eyes were focused on a crystal ball before turning to a grayish owl who appeared to be wearing what looked like a bib. It was pretty insulting of him to even ask such a question considering I looked nothing like a girl. My voice was mono-tone and my hair was short and brown. It was ridiculous, clearly the man was blind.

"Err, what was your name again?" He asked adjusting his monocle before picking up a scroll. "Was it Ashley?"

"No, it's Shad... My name is Shad." I replied.

Though my response was polite, anyone could imagine just how different my thoughts were at the moment. Little did the old coot know, I was thinking something along the lines of; 'ASHLEY!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MAN!? CALL THE POLICE! THIS MAN'S GONE SENILE!'

"Well that's not in the list of names I call people..." The headmaster said interrupting my inner rant. Why don't I name you Blaze? All the boys are calling themselves Blaze."

"Ha, no. Gimmie that scroll!" I said snatching the paper.

"Woah there young wizard! You give that back! That piece of paper is not for the viewing of... noobs."

"W-What the... Is this a script?" I say cocking an eyebrow.

"N-No..." He replies blankly as I copy it.

"Wait a second... Did you just call me a noob?"

"N-No..."

"That's just... Oh, never mind, here's your script."

"Thank you, wizard... But, uh, you still must choose a name."

"Um..." Was the only thing I could say before pointing to a random name on his list. "Devin... How about Devin?"

"Devil... I mean, Devin! Yes, Devin is a fine name."

"... Sure." I sigh as he adjust his silky looking magic hat.

Ah-hem... Sorry about the Ashley thing young wizard. You know Ashley can also be a mans name too though, right?"

"... Oh, I guess that is true." I replied feeling a little guilty for my previous thoughts.

"Well, young wizard I see great potential in you... You may very well be the chosen one sent from... Uh, where did you say
you were from?"

"I never said I was from anywhere..." I replied. "I don't really remember myself, sir."

"Oh... well, You may very well be the chosen one sent from above to save Wizard City from the great evil upon us!"

"Aww, shucks, headmaster... I'm sure you tell that to everyone." I say sarcastically.

"Now quickly, you must enroll into your classes, sign these shady release forms, then mindlessly leap into the heat of
chaos in Unicorn Way with hundreds, maybe even thousands of other endangered wizards!"

"Okay... Uh, did you just say release forms?"

"Oh, young wizard... You are going to make so much friends." He said smilng ominously.

It had all happened so fast. Within a matter of seconds, a packet of stapled papers fell into my hands and I was booted out
of his tower.

"Well, gee, this sounds promising." I sigh before walking into the crowded commons area... One second I was unique and
special, but the next second I was just another blurred face in the distance.
