The rest of the day went by as normal, without disturbances. The next day though...
"Hey, Soul! Wake up! We're late!" Soul crawled out of bed, rather annoyed. He got dressed then ate a quick breakfast. Maka pulled him out of the door and raced towards the DWMA with him. As they got there, they stopped, staring at the people crowded around the academy doors. Maka spotted Kid and waved him over.
"What's up? What're all these people doing?" Maka asked.
"There's a notice on the doors. Apparently the academy's been renamed the DWMSA. Don't understand why. I'll have to ask my father about it later."
"DWMSA?" Soul asked. "What does the S stand for?"
"Steed." Kid replied. "It might have to do with the dragon my father spoke to yesterday."
"Yahoo!" Everyone looked up to see Black Star falling down towards them. He landed next to them. "Ahahaha! It's me, Black Star! The one who'll surpass God! Ahahaha!" Everyone face palmed. "What's this I hear about a name change?"
"The DWMA has been renamed DWMSA. S stands for steed." Maka replied. Tsubaki finally got over to the group, Liz and Patty in toe.
"So it's Death Weapon Meister Steed Academy now?" Tsubaki asked. Kid, Soul, and Maka nodded.
"I guess," Soul replied. He looked up as he felt a chill in the air as a large shadow passed overhead. Everyone followed his gaze.
The wind flung everyone's hair and clothes around as a dragon landed on the patio in front of the academy. It brought it's wings together and walked forward, snorting black smoke rings into the air. The ends of it's wings clicked across the ground as they moved with the dragon's body. It's tail dragged and all four legs took big steps to avoid people too unfortunate to get too close.
Black Star smiled and walked a couple steps forward. "Hey!" The dragon looked down at Black Star. Black Star cracked his knuckles. "Ready to fight?" The dragon cocked it's head at him, then laid down on the ground. It laid it's wing down as several people slid off it's back, sliding down the thin, leathery skinned wing like a slide.
"Fight? I never challenged you to a fight." The voice in Black Star's head was female. "You must mean Jâkohëlexœabe. The one you know as Jacob. He's coming soon. My name is Vëxsëlæïn. You may call me Veseen." She was suddenly consumed in fire. Everyone freaked out as she seemed to disintegrate, but as the fire dispersed, a tall woman stood in the place of where the dragon once was. Her long red hair framed her face, shorter in the front, but long in the back. She smiled at Black Star, then stood with the others. She waved up at the sky as a shadow passed overhead.
Another dragon, this one obviously much bigger than Veseen, landed where she once was. This one was Jacob. More people slid off his back, but everyone's attention was focused on a short, rusty red haired boy on top of Jacob's head. Jacob tossed his head, and the boy flipped off, eyes closed, and landed on the ground, creating a small crater. He rose, smiling, and rolled his shoulder, making it crack a little. He opened his eyes. He turned towards Jacob, who had annoyance in his eyes.
"Did you see that, father?" He asked. Jacob snorted, black smoke coming from his nose. The boy turned to look at the crowd, a big smile on his face. The smile disappeared into shock as he spotted Maka. He hurried over and grabbed her hand, bringing it up to his mouth.
"Yœk a äteœ fäñtï hêr petisë œë séñ. Your beauty is without words, Princess. My name is NèÏsæll. You may call me Neil. And you are?" Maka's face was absolutely red.
Kid's face was filled with shock, while Black Star, Liz, and Patty were cracking up. Tsubaki smiled, unsure of what was happening, while Soul...
Soul's face was filled with anger and jealousy.
"M-Maka." Maka replied.
"Maka. What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman." He kissed her hand. "I'll hope to see you later, Princess Maka." He let her hand go and went towards the others. His father, Jacob, had already turned human.
Kid walked over to the group and cleared his throat. "My name is Kid, son of Lord Death. Let me show you to the Death Room," he said, leading them into the academy.
