Hello, everyone! Welcome to chapter two! (For those that survived chapter one!)

Legolas: Even the mightiest warriors would not have that kind of strength.

Alicia: GRR!

Legolas: I'm just kidding, love. *Huggles Alicia *

Alicia: WOO-HOO! *Enjoys Legolas * Oh, yeah. Enjoy chapter two!

(Note- If something has a * by it, that means that I have defined it at the bottom of the page. However, if the definition is really short, I'll probably just put it in parenthesis, like this!)





Chapter two

Hazel sauntered into the room, not even the slightest bit embarrassed about her tardiness. (She was far too used to this by now, after years of experience.) She scanned the room for anyone she might know. As soon as she did, she darted towards the seat next to them like someone else was just about to snatch it away from her. The friend that she had just seated herself beside was Rebecca, an old friend that she had known ever since she had first started her education. Rebecca turned her head to face Hazel, her Soft blond hair gently brushing against her light brown shoulders. Her face formed a polite smile, and the she turned back around to face the teacher. Rebecca, daughter of *Titan, had a fairly simple outfit on; an emerald strapless top with a long emerald dress to match, revealing her midriff. She had several small golden chains wrapped loosely around her wait. Upon her neck she wore a small, silver thin-chained necklace, with a small glimmering green orb dangling on the chain. Hazel wasn't very surprised that Rebecca hadn't said anything more; She always paid very close attention to the instructor, especially when he or she was addressing something new. Hazel smiled and decided she may as well listen. That didn't work out too well. As Hazel began to zone out, She got a look around the room. Compared to the hallway, it was extremely dull; it wasn't remarkable in anyway. The walls were white, with some signs with translations of word from Territh (The language hazel and her region speaks) into Ezgrek. A simple *v-screen was at the front of the room. No enchanting crystal ceiling, no carvings, nothing. The only things that were somewhat interesting were the carvings on the wooden desks and chairs. There were carvings of Animals, faeries, nymphs, and other gorgeous creatures engraved in the wood. Hazel amused herself for the rest of the period staring into these carvings. Some of the animals she did not recognize, and yet, somehow, they seemed very familiar, as though from a fading memory. Minutes after Hazel arrived at the classroom and took a seat, the bells for the next class rang. They pierced the air with their song, ringing merrily throughout the hallways and courtyard, like church bells, like the calls of angels. Hazel jumped up out of her seat, nearly toppling the chair she was sitting in over. She could finally speak to someone! Rebecca, who was apparently waiting until the bell to ask Hazel a few questions, spoke first. " Hazel, Hi! Where were you? You went back to get something you left in our last class and to go on to my next class without you. I thought I would see you on my way there, but you disappeared! And apparently for quite some time. I guess we never compared schedules; I didn't even know you had this class! Where did you go off to that took so long?"

" Well.I kinda.sorta."

"Oy vey, Hazel, did you get lost again? Oh well. This school is enormous. It's easy to get lost here. I would never have found my way here if it weren't for the maps they gave us."

"THEY GAVE US MAPS?!?!"

Rebecca laughed at Hazel's reaction, and handed her the map she was using. " I'll stop by the front office and pick up a new one after lunch," Rebecca glanced at the clock on the wall. " Which seems to be right now." Hazel was surprised. "Its lunchtime already?" Rebecca nodded. " Its hard to get used to this place. I hope Alex and Lev will meet us in the courtyard.." And with that, Rebecca and Hazel trotted off to the courtyard.

When the two arrived, neither Alex nor Lev had yet come to the courtyard. While Rebecca spread out a blanket underneath a shady tree, Hazel looked around, absolutely fascinated by the landscape. There was a clear pool in the center of the courtyard, which split out into six small streams that cascaded over the edge of the school down to the Earth, which one could not even see from where they were; only sky and clouds. The earth was far away; an eternity from where they stood .The streams divided the land into what looked like pie slices. Small wooden bridges went over the streams, crossing the gaps so one could travel section to section. Magic force fields were set up in the openings where the river fell, so no one was in any danger of falling. Hazel was just completely absorbed in its beauty until a familiar voice rang in the air. " I EAT FABRIC SOFTENERS!!!" Hazel turned around, only to be tackled to the soft, grassy ground by Lev, another old and slightly scary friend. Lev, son of Leviathan and a *water nymph was always known as "he who has many problems." There may have been some truth to that. You could never possibly predict what Lev was going to say or do next. And whatever it was, it was the last thing you would expect. Alex shouted from a distance (while laughing a bit) "LEV! GET OFF OF HER!" but his command was to no avail. Finally Lev got up, and said a quick "Hi, Hazel." before he went over to where Rebecca was eating and gorged on his lunch. Hazel got up and quickly brushed some grass off of her arms and legs. When she got up, Alex had just gotten to her after running over to her.

"Hi, Hazel. It's nice to see you again. Are you ok?"

"I'm used to it," Hazel laughed. "I think we all are."

"Yeah, Its not like this is the first time. Or the second. Or the thousandth."

"Well, I'm hungry!" Hazel blurted out. "Lets eat something!"

The group mainly feasted on Shaline bread (a kind of bread that the summons/aeons eat) and Kithstari fried fish (A kind of fish from Nathlanara, land of the Water Nymphs) But alas, lunch break ended all too soon as the bell rung for that class. The events tat would occur in that class would affect her life. It was time for her first Dueling lesson.



Yep, that way the end of chapter two! It wasn't very dramatic or suspenseful, but you gotta give me a chance to introduce the characters! I'm sorry if I bored you. Oh, yes. Here is the footnotes-

V-screen- more or less like a very high-tech black board. It can play movies; look into certain places at the touch of a button, and save any previous lesson ever done on it before, should a review be necessary.

Titan- A summon from final fantasy seven, the god of earth.

Nymph- ok, the nymphs are strange creatures indeed. They're basically elemental spirits that have taken on human form. They can mate with the summons/aeons as well. Most of the inhabitants of the summon/aeon dimension are nymphs, but they are nearly powerless compared to summons/aeons. The nymphs are born from the energy that summons/aeons radiate.

Being half nymph, half summon/aeon does not decrease your power, but rather increases the certain amount of power you have over the nymph's element.

Nymphs can be of Fire, water, wind, earth, thunder, darkness, and holy.

Nymph children also go to the same academy as the summon/aeon children, but they have different classes. The reason it is 'Sanari's school for the summons' is because the instructors there are well known for making summon/aeon children very strong indeed.

OK! * Gasp * enough of this! Onto chapter three!
