Sydney's POV
We ran out of the girl's dormitory and reached a split, Rachel went toward a building that had a tree with pink leaves and a grandmotherly looking face on it, she stopped at the doorway and turned towards me, she then yelled, "I swear! If you burn something down you're going to be grounded for the rest of your teenage life!" and walked into the building, smirking. I flushed in embarrassment and walked the opposite direction.
I reached a building that I swear was 100 degrees, it had a tree next to it with burning leaves, fiery eyes, and a large smile on its' face. Stopping, I stared in bewilderment at it, then, to my complete surprise, it turned toward me and said in a warm and kind voice, "Welcome to the school of fire, young pyromancer."
I stared at it, not knowing what to do, and my mouth gaping like a fish out of water. It looked back at me, his fiery eyes looking into mine, I then nervously waved hi, and walked briskly into the school, my heart pounding from the surprise. When I opened the door, 21 pairs of eyes turned toward me, curious on to who the new kid is.
A woman with a red dress that went down to her feet and stood up at the ends like flames paused her piece of chalk that was floating in air and turned toward me. I saw that her eyes were a fiery red and her hair was orange that blended into a yellow and stood up like a candle's flame. She gave me a kind smile and said to me, "Hello, you must be our new student." I nodded in greeting, keeping my face blank.
The woman shifted uncomfortably, I then said in a monotone voice, "Can you show me were my seat is?" she nodded and pointed to a seat with at the edge of the classroom, left to a black haired boy. I walked over and sat down next to him and kept my eyes to the front of the classroom, never taking my eyes off of the floating chalk.
From my peripheral vision, I saw the boy turn his head slightly to look at me, I slowly turned toward him, keeping my face blank, "What the hell are you staring at?" I asked, keeping my voice at whispering level. He shifted uncomfortably under my gaze.
He then looked me in the eyes and said in a surprisingly laid back voice, "I just thought your eye was really pretty." I blinked a few times, then took a good look at the boy, I saw that he had bright blue eyes and pale skin, he had a baby shaped face and freckles across his nose, giving him an innocent look. But when I looked closer into his eyes and saw that there was a dangerous edge to his eyes.
"What's your name?" I asked, not caring if I was staring at him for ten minutes.
He cocked his head slightly and said, "Michal Dragonsword, yours?"
I hesitated, "Sydney Fireyes", it was the name that everyone called me during my meditating, so that's what I'm going to be called.
Michal held out his hand, I took it, squeezing it and letting him know that I didn't want him to treat me like weak girl, and gave it a firm shake. He smirked, letting me know that he got my message. I turned back to the front of the classroom and started paying attention.
The professor had written her name on the board, I squinted my eyes and was able to make it out, Professor Dalia Falmea, weird name, I thought. Then, clapping her hands, Professor Falmea then said, "Everyone outside, it's time to begin your first lesson" then started herding all of us outside. After grouping up in the courtyard, she then turned to us, held out her hand, palm up, and summoned a tiny flame. People gasped in awe around me, while staring at it.
Then, without any warning, the flame formed into the shape of a cat, and jumped off of her hand, getting bigger and bigger by the second. It was now up to my shoulders, its' flaming fur giving off heat that I could feel 15 feet away, everyone looked at it in awe, while me on the other hand, was trying to figure out a way to get my ass out of there.
"I want all of you to summon a fire cat" she said.
"How?" someone yelled, I rolled my eyes, thinking, You're never going to get through in life if you don't try and do it by yourself.
How do you know? A voice in my head asked. I whirled around, looking for the source of the voice. You'll never learn to trust people if you don't ask for help idiot.
Nolan!?
Who do you think? I then felt him leave my head. Shaking my head, I turned back to the teacher.
She was smilingly kindly at the kid, then, she quickly turned toward me and beckoned me toward her. I felt my face heat up and my legs get shaky, the side I try and keep out of sight of everyone coming out. Truth is, I hated crowds and standing in front of people, I always have, caused from my younger years of bullying. I then made my legs stay still and walked to the front of the group, praying to God that my face isn't to red.
I stopped in front of the teacher, she grabbed my shoulder and said, "I want you to picture our school symbol in your mind, and imagine pushing the magic that is inside of you forming flames, and creating a fire cat."
I closed my eyes, doing what she said. I felt a tingling sensation on my arm, and I felt it travel down my arm. I imagined flames coming out of my hand, but instead of picturing the cat that the teacher had summoned just moments ago, I pictured a large flaming bird. A phoenix. With my eyes still closed, I heard several startled gasps, then screams of terror. I opened them to see the phoenix that I had pictured out in the middle of the group.
Its' flaming wings spread wide, it opened its' powerful beak and let out an ear splitting cry. Everyone covered their ears from the shriek, including me and Professor Falmea, I looked up to see a lady with icy blue wings, grey hair, glasses, and blue hair flutter up to the phoenix and summon some kind of ice giant. It raised the sword that was in its hand and hit the flaming bird, the creature let out a cry of pain, but then threw its' head back, and shot it forward, letting out a column of fire, hitting the giant dead on.
My body moved on its' own, I ran toward the magical creatures and went in between the phoenix and giant. I lifted up my hands toward both of them and screamed, "Enough!" the creatures then turned into tornadoes, still of their elements. The icy tornado then swirled around my arm, and was gone in a few seconds, the fiery one following soon after.
My left arm was now cold and stiff, while my right arm was hot and pulsating. I looked at them to see that my left arm was blue, and my right one red. I looked back up to see everyone looking at me in surprise. "Y-you shouldn't be able to do that yet" Professor Falmea said, her red eyes wide with surprise.
"Syd!" I looked over my shoulder to see Rachel running toward me, her eyes showing no horror, just concern. I bit the inside of my cheek, determined not to cry in front of strangers.
I whipped my head toward the teacher, "So I'm a freak here to?!"
"No, sweetie, you are going to be treated equally here" Falmea said, her eyes softening, I just shook my head no, and ran away from them, not noticing the burn marks shaped like footprints I was leaving behind.
