Chapter 2
(Sorry the chapters are so short)
Ruby and I eventually stumbled into some sort of main hall. I sighed 'This is going to be a long week 'I thought to myself.
"Ruby! Over Here! I saved you a spot!" I looked over to see Yang calling Ruby over.
"I guess I'll see you after the ceremony?" I asked Ruby.
"Sure" Ruby headed off towards Yang. I sighed and slumped against a wall nearly bumping into another fanus.
"Hi there I'm Region, what's your name!" I turned to look at the energy full girl. She had light brown hair with blond streaks pulled up in a ponytail hidden by her spotted yellow hoodie. She sported a golden leopard tail flicking back and forth. On her back, she has a bow and quiver. I recovered my balance and smiled back.
"Nice to meet you Region, I'm Yreva. What's up…" I cut off by the ceremony starting. Ospin, the headmaster at Beacon stepped on stage and began his speech.
"I'll keep this… brief. You have traveled here today in search of knowledge, to hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you have finished you plan to dedicate your life to the protection of the people, but I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of purpose, direction. You assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at this school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far. It is up to you to take the first step." Ospin gave the stage to Glinda Goodwitch, who we met on the airship here.
"You will gather in the ballroom tonight, tomorrow your initiation begins. Be Ready. You are dismissed!" After Glinda finished I turned to Region.
"So shall we find this supposed ballroom?"
We lost track of Ruby and her sister so Region and I wandered the campus together until finally one of the older students gave us directions. When we came in the ballroom was already filled with sleeping bags, but there was room near Ruby and Yang.
"Mind if I join you?" I threw my silver bag down next to Ruby's red one.
"Sure" Yang absently minded responded going back to her conversation with Ruby. Region threw her leopard print bag down next to mine.
"You really like spots don't you?" I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"I was born with them might as well get used to them" Region joked.
"And that is why you're my friend." I fist bumped Region. Not long after that, I changed from my long black blouse and black leggings, with little-shattered moons across the bottom to my black and silver nightgown. I walked back in the room to find that Region was already changing into a leopard print onesie with like leopard ears on top. That's Region for you. I yawned and flopped down onto my moon-shaped pillow.
"You can't fall asleep yet. Who will I talk too?" Region poked me in the side.
"Grr. Go away." I grumbled.
"Besides aren't bats supposed to be nocturnal or something' Region continued to jab me in the side.
"Not this one." Region rolled her eyes and continued poking me. She must have stopped at some point because I finally fell asleep.
