Lorne walks aimlessly up and down the Sovereign streets in a futile effort to find his way toDire academy. As time ticked by he began to wonder if he'll ever be able to Dire. It sounded simple in his head. 'Just head towards the center of the city.' but somehow he got himself lost and with every turn he felt that he was getting more and more lost. His wondering was shortly interrupted however when he saw a young Fennec Fox Faunus girl, around his age, wearing a scale chest plate and a large bronze shield on her back, reading, or at least trying to read, a detailed map of the city. Lorne approached the Faunus girl and causally greeted her.

"Excuse me." He said, startling the Faunus girl and making her jump. "Hi. My name is Lorne. I was wondering if-" His sentence was cut when the Faunus girl got a look at him and started running away as if Lorne was some kind of monster to her. "I…can…see yourmap…crap." Lorne watched the girl run out of sight then went backlooking for the academy.

The Faunus girlran as fast as her legs can carry her. When she looked back the human was nowhere in sight and came to a stop. She took a moment to breathe then sat on the curb and started thinking about what she had done. 'How can she be so stupid!?' She thought. The moment she saw that human instinct took over and her legs moved before she could even think. She hangs her head in disappointment and takes this moment to orient. She was interrupted however when a young man walks up behind her.

"Excuse me. Are you ok?" The young man asks in a gentle voice. The Faunus Girl turns her head around to look at the young man and she sees that he's wearing a black hoodie with the hood pulled up and blue jeans. She couldn't get a good look at his face but notices that he young man has two horns protruding out through the top of the hood.

"You're a Faunus?" Asks the girl and the man nods.

"You're one too right?" Rozenn nods and she smiles.

"So are you ok? You look a bit down."

"Oh…it's nothing really. I just did something stupid that's all."

"Well what'd you do?"

"I...promise you won't laugh?"

"Promise. Just tell me what happened." The girl looks at the man's face, and even though she wasn't able to make anything out she felt that she was able to trust him.

"I ran away from a human."

"You what?"

"I ran away from a human. I know it's stupid but I had some bad experiences with humans when I was a child and I've been afraid to talk to a human ever since. I know I shouldn't do that but-"

"No. You did the right thing." Said the man, but this time in a slightly harsher voice. "Humans are violent creatures and the human you ran away from probably wanted to take advantage of you."

"You sure? But that human…he sounded nice. Maybe if I go back maybe I can-"

"No. Trust me. I've seen this happen before. He wanted to sound nice but when he gets the chance he's just going to hurt you."

"But…what if…suppose…"

"If you want to go back fine. But I won't be able to help you if something happens."The girl thinks about going back but she can't shake the feeling that the young man might be right.

"I…I guess you're right. I should just leave it alone. Right now I need to find my way to Dire academy."

"Dire? I'm actually heading there myself. If you want I can take you there."

"I'd like that. By the way I never got your name."

"Egon Best. Yours?"

"Rozenn Borde."

"Rozenn. That's a nice name."

"Th-Thanks." Said Rozenn and she blushed at Egon's comment. Egon smiles and he removes his hood to reveal a kind face with black hair and green eyes.

"Just follow me. We'll get there soon. And don't worry. I'll make sure no human ever hurt you."
