- This is the main lobby. All the subject wings branch off from here. – We returned to that room, what I saw before. Two students looking at us, while we walking through the hall – Let me show you my wing first! – The next corridor is a bit darker, posters and pictures hanging on the walls – This is the Arts wing.

- Really? It looks like a gallery for me. – Movie and theatre titles typed below some of the pictures, haven't heard any of these.

- Well, it is! A gallery of the creativity! – Jackie opened a door – Darling! I got someone for you to meet. – We stepped in the classroom, hard-wood floor, wall sized mirror and a handhold is the only equipment. Four girls wearing some ballet dresses, warming up for dance, I suppose.

- Okay girls! Once you're warmed up... Jackie! – A guy turned towards up. His hair is red with some white and blue parts. His skin also tinned; gloden teeth shine from his mouth. His dressing is too colourful for me in the first moment: red swing with blue stripes, same coloured strait waistcoat, colourful bow-tie and... I shocked a bit, a tutu?! Oh my... He hugged Jackie tightly, then he raised his palm. – Hi here senor. I'm Alanzo, but call me Al! It's shorter! – I accept his handshake; try to make at least a normal face.

- Gregory Drayson, but call me Dray. Everybody call me like that. – The four girls came closer in the minute, trying to take a closer look of me. Jackie get in there way, hold them cabk a little. – So, you're teaching dance, am I right? – Al cheered up.

- Yes! Did Jackie told it? – Now Al reminds me Jackie in the first minutes: energetic, or hyperactive?

- Well, I just blundered up on it. – I smiled and Jackie pulling me out to the doorway.

- Well Darling, we gotta go. I want to show him the ZPA! See you later! – Al waved to us as we stepped out the classroom. I look at Jackie.

- He is your husband, isn't he? – She suprised.

- How did you know? – Chuckle left my throat.

- I see how you two are close for each other. Only couples accept this kind of touch. – She suprised.

- Wooow... you can see lots of things! – I tilt my head.

- Maybe. There is lot of things what I can't see, even if that is obvious.

- Okay. Let's see; which is the next, oh yes! The Art Room. – Paint, pictures other painting stuff, students making their paintings or drawings – The Music Room. – loud, but earwing melody flying around us – The Film Room – cameras, microphones, monitores filled the room, and a huge fan, what some of the students turned it on, almost swept away some of them. – Aand here is my domain! – Normal sized theatre, red walls with golden decoration. The stage filled with students, most of them speaking or practice on the grand piano.

- ... and they are your students, right? – asked while I pointed at them. Tear fell from her eye.

- Yes. They are my prodigies! – A fox jumped from below into my arms, catching it. Before I realised what happened, he licked my face and jumped out my arms. While I tried to wipe off the fox's saliva, Jackie burst out in laugh. – Sorry, I forgot to tell you. Spam is a bit friendly kind.

- Yeah, I felt it. – We got closer to the students, looking to us.

- Kids, let me introduce you out new teachers-assistant, Drayson. – One of them came to me, his body is orange coloured, yet his hands and feets are purple. Two antennas attached on his head, also, his tail is green, ended with a snake's head. He raised his hand for a handshake.

- Hi there, my name is Zill, but I jump for Zill. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

- I feel the same Zill. – Asvered while we shook our hands. Next to Zill a female kangaroo came. She's waving to me.

- She is my girlfriend, Kayla. – She got a closer look of me, noticed my scaled hands.

- These are your hands? – I heard some loathing tone in her voice.

- Yep, this is. – Her response suprised me. – You expected a human? – Kayla nod.

- Can I... touch it? – That shocked me a bit, nodded and lifted my arm for her. Kayla slowly touched my arm, felt her soft fur. – Cool. – It seems she already get used to it.

- Yes, but you is the coolest thing what I can see darling angel!

- EEEEK! – Kayla scared; find some safe place behind Zill.

- I could be glad if you don't try to move on my girlfriend Damian. – A jackal levitates before me. His cloth was black and red, also his eyes.

- Sorry Zill. I don't understand Spanish. – Damian looking at me – Religious girls is just some challenge pal. So, my name is...

- Damian, I heard it already. – Now I realise his red aura. – You're a demon Damian?

- Not a regular demon... – he changed his face into a demonic form, also lighted up with a flaslight – I AM THE ANTICHRIST! – I raised my eyebrow.

- Is that supposed to be scary Damian? – He smiled.

- A tough guy, huh? – He wrapped his arm around my neck – I believe we gonna have some good time together buddy. – I sweep off his hand.

- Slow down a bit boy. I just arrived here. – Another jackal appeared next to me.

- Hello, I'm Jack. I apologise for Damians behave. – His fur is scared and dirty.

- So, you two are relatives?

- Yes, my mother and his are... – I heard a small cracking sound above us. Before I realised what I doing, I already pushed Jack away with my tail, jumping back in the same time. The spotlight crashed, shatters of it flew around us. I look around, luckily nobody hurt. I got closer to Jack, helping him up back to his feet.

- Are you okay Jack? – He looks at me with shock.

- Y-yes! But why you saved me? – That shocked me. I shrugged it off.

- Old habit. – I ansver, the others started to clean the ruins of the spotlight. – That was pretty fast.

- Yeah. This thing happens a lot. – Jack scratcing his head. – Because of me. - I wanted to ask him why, when Jackie came back to us.

- So Dray! Wanna stay in here for the class? We can show you what we could do on the stage!

- Thanks Jackie! But I would like to take a break. – She nods.

- Okay then! Kayla, can you guide Drayson to Cam? – Kayla hopping next to me.

- Sure thing! Please, follow me! – I did, leaving the others in the classroom. Something came up in my mind. - So, you know to I'll come?

- Yep! Jackie couldn't hold the news for us, so she said everything what she knows about you. – I looking at her suspiciously.

- What you heard exactly. – Kayla raises her shoulders.

- Not too much. Only your age and species. But we didn't expected...

- ...to I'm a half-dragon? – I finished her sentence.

- Yes, something like this. Oh, here we are! – Kayla pointing to a door. Ms. Walden ZPA Guidance advertised the little plate on the door. – Just knock, and go in. I have to go back. See you later! – Kayla waves at me, leaving me alone in the corridor. I'm knocking.

- Come in! – Young voice invited me, so I did. Small, but comfy office. I saw Cam behind her desk. She doesn't looks older than me. – Ohh! You must be the new teacher assistant. Please take a seat! – Cam gesturing to a bean-bag. I sat down, burying my head in my hands. - Thought day? – I nodded.

- Yes, Jackie shown me the ZPA, especially the Art Wing. – Cameron chuckled.

- Typical Jackie. Always so energetic. Can I ask you something? – Some uneasy feelings crawling in me.

- Yep, bring it on.

- Okay, what are you? Sorry if that's makes you nervous. – I raise my eyebrows.

- Well, I'm a dragon-human hybrid. – I'm a bit bored to I have to tell everybody what I am. – Why you ask? – She looking away nervously.

- Uhh... you look alike Carrie a bit, and I thought you some kind of reptile aswell. B-but that is just my... – Ayup, she's nervous.

- Don't worry Cameron, I won't bite you. – She chuckle, that's a good sighn.

- Sorry Dray! I'm already here in the last two months, but I still a bit nervous in here. – I look at her.

- Wait, you didn't know this place before? – She shook her head and talks about how she came here: the meeting with Ms. Kaycey, the way on the plane, the first meeting with the others. It sounded humorous, but I didn't laugh. More of less I understand what she felt there – I see. What about now? I mean, did you get used to this place?

- Yes! It was hard, but I do my best! - Someone knocking on the door. – Come in! – Zech came in, looking at me.

- Oh, it's good to I found you here Drayson. We have to do some paperwork, what I forgot back then.

- Alright! See you next time Cameron! – I stood up, and followed Zech back to his office.

(Hours later)

- That's all mister. – Zech said while we exit the office, I shook my head.

- Please, call me Dray. I don't like too much formality. – He nodded.

- Alright then Dray. Oh, Cameron, why you still in here? – Cam gringing some papers with her. Some kind of posters, but all of them faded, unable to read.

- Hi Zech. I'm just collecting these posters. We don't need them anymore.

- I see. – I want to ask something from Zechary, but Cameron prevented me.

- I bet you haven't seen the night sky in here, right? – I nodded, she chuckled. – Then let me show you something. – I look back to Zech, light smile appearing on his face.

- Don't worry, you will like it! – Then, he follows Cameron. I raised my shoulder and go after them. We headed up the stairs to the roof. – Here we are! – Cameron opened the door, revealing the roof and the sky. I forgot to count how much times my jaws dropped on the ground. The city looking more beautiful than in the morning shine, hundreds of thousands stars shining in the nighty sky, huge golden-fish like spirits flew in the sky. Cameron and Zech laughing lightly.

- I said it will be beautiful. – I just nod, grab the handholder. A smaller spirit got closer to us, looking at me with its big eye; I wave at him/her, then headed after the others. Zechary get next to me, Cameron is on my other side, also looking the view.

- I haven't seen a place like this... beautiful. I mean it. – Suddenly something makes me worried. – Sorry to I disrupting the scene, but where I will live? – Both of them looking at me. Cam put her hand on my shoulder.

- If you want, you can live in my home. – I'm surprised and raise my hand.

- Thanks Cameron your hospitality, but I don't want to disturb you!

- Don't wory to much Dray. Just accept it! – I don't know why, but she is right. I sighn.

- Okay, but no longer then it needed to find a house for myself. Is that alright?

- Okay. – She smiling. Zech put his pawn on my other shoulder.

- Drayson, Welcome in Safe Haven!
