Sorry about not posting it yesterday. But being in a coma does stop you from going on a computer. So yes, here it is. This hopefully won' t happen again.
A moment later, a portal lined with hearts popped out beside North and out comes a Greek God. Literarily. "Eros, I was wondering when you'll pop up."
"Nicholas! It really has been a while since I've seen you. Last time I saw you was when your bread was burned off." Eros flew in wearing his own style for the uniform. A bright red blazer over a black dress shirt and a pink tie, with white slacks and white leather shoes. Eros turns to the immortal teens and gives off a bright smile. "So you must be the new students. May I be the first person to welcome you to our wonderful school. I can easily assure you that there is no school out there like ours." He takes a step closer and grabs the hand of Flora's, "By your colours, you must be part of the spring season. I hope we can get along. Spring and love goes hand in hand." He places a small peck on her hand and Veles tried everything he could to hold himself back from punching this Eros guy in the face. "I am Eros. Known as the God of love in ancient times."
Flora blushed, since it's the first time someone has ever done that to her, as she smiles. "Flora Rayn. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Eros smiles again, "The pleasure is all mine." Veles coughs loudly to get the two's attention. "Ah yes, you must be the fall spirit." Eros and Veles shook hands, and it was obvious to the naked eye that Veles was trying his hardest to hold everything in.
"Veles Harvest." Veles sneers a bit, "And I thought that Cupid was a big baby in a diaper, and has a bow and arrow."
Eros smirks, showing a darker side of his former self. "I was like that, but I've grown out of it a couple thousand years ago." He now turns to Jack and offers a friendly hand, "And finally the winter spirit."
Jack takes the hand, thinking that this guys might not be that bad. "Jack Frost." He instantly says under his breath to the young god, "Be careful, it seems that those two have a spark that neither want to start."
Eros shows a small mischievous smile at the young winter spirit's words, "I know. God of love here. I just started to aim my arrows." The two show a knowing smile to the other, and luckily for them, the two subjects they were talking about was busy with discussing something with North. "These are the cases where I just love my job."
Jack and Eros exchange a quick high five this time, "Eros, I'm sure this'll be a start of a great friendship." The two hide a chuckle as when the others finally get back from what they were discussing. Jack and Eros put on a poker face and their little plan seems hidden for now. "So, when do we go to this school?"
"Just step in. We have an off day from class, but the school also acts a dorm so there's a lot of activity in the school today." Eros points to a new portal and inside you could see a front door of an old building. "Well come on. We better get you settled in." He motioned them to go first and they did.
The teleportation was instant and painless, and they found themselves in front of a old shack that doesn't even look like anyone lives in there anymore. "Where are we?" Jack let out as he scanned their surroundings. They're standing in the middle of a vast field with some patches of snow here and there and a few cows out grazing.
"We're in the middle of the Canadian Prairies. Alberta to be more precise." Eros informs them as he opens the door to the shack. "Well here we are, welcome to our amazing school." They all take a look inside and see just an old room with dust piled high on forgotten furniture. The looks on their faces was priceless as Eros holds his face straight, "Well come on, just get in." Shrugging, Jack goes in first and disappears in thin air.
"Jack!" The remaining seasons yells and his head pops up from the door.
They both jump back as a smile creeps on the winter spirit's lips. "You guys have to come in here! It's incredible in here." A second to hesitate before Jack got impatient and pulled them past the door and into the actual school.
Eros comes in soon after the fall and spring seasons, and smiles proudly as he showed him the main hall of the school. "Well here we are. Welcome to the Kingdom Academy of Insight." They open their eyes and take in the decor of the main hall. High ceiling gave way to bright lights with no source giving it off, roman columns held strong for support as the marble floor shine as if brand new. It was as if someone painted it to show ancient architecture to its full glory while nature takes it roots to splash the rest of the room with flowers of all kinds. And to top it off, the students walking through looked beyond the normal mortal characteristics. Heights of great varieties; hair looking from leaves to water to fire to feathers; some had wings or pointed ears or even both; some seemed half human half animal; while others held no physical form and shifted into different shapes every step they took.
Eros sees their faces and tries his best to not laugh a their reaction. Each season had their mouth gapped wide open as their eyes grew wide at the sight. "You really should close your mouths, or the fairies would get inside and start putting things you don't want in your mouth." They followed his instruction and paid attention to what he's saying, "Ok, first things first let's see your schedules." They hand it to him and he scans them quickly. "This is great, you're all in the same class with me so you won't be lost!"
"But this building can't be that big. The outside wasn't that big, so thus school might even have just a couple rooms anyway." Veles pointed out still in awe of the hall.
"You'd be surprised." Eros chuckled as he started to head off down the right hallway. They followed down a long, emphasis on the long, hallway that had around twenty doors going down both sides and got to the end to meet with large double doors. The doors opened on their own and showed a mess hall that held the same glory as the main hall. Tables and chairs were made from almost any kind of material; water, clouds, rock, wood etc.; and in the middle held a fountain that showed a scale with four balances. But this is still a school and there are clichés that play out, each sitting in their 'territory' with creatures that held the same characteristics as them. You could say it was worst since they don't go by personality or interests, but they separate each group by appearance and abilities.
Fairies stayed away from the pixies, elemental elves stayed away from other elements, and the season sprites stayed clear away from each other. In the far four corners of the room held the four different seasons, each holding sprites that held different forms but ultimately held the same colors in body characters.
Flora scans the halls they past as a question flows past her teeth. "How is this school so big on the inside?"
Eros doesn't even have to think about the answer. "It's another portal that connects this realm and the other realm you call home. This was created by the four heads of the season with the help of Mother Nature. There are many other realms created by a number of different people, but this one is the biggest one out of all of them." But he waves it off like it's no big of a deal. "It's not the hard to do, I have my own as well. You might even be able to make one since you have the power of Mother Nature in you. You'll learn more about this short of stuff in class." The three season jump, remembering that rumor going round school. Their fear was obvious and Eros smiles to calm them down. "Don't worry, there's a handful of people who know, but they'll act as protecters if any trouble happen. You can trust them since they've been on this world for a long time, unlike the sprites who only live for a century or more." Then he stops and gets really serious, "But that doesn't mean to tell everyone who you really are. There are people who believe in that rumor." A cold shiver goes down all three season's back, and his cheerful expression comes back a second later. "Besides that, just have fun and be yourself. Now to officially start this tour."
Eros finished off their tour of the school with the dorms. "If Nicholas didn't tell you already, but this school has a dorming option and you'll all be staying here." He leads them to a hall that now has the walls and ceiling the same colour as the sky. It's a light blue that soon turning into a light purple. They stop in front of two doors, "These are your rooms. Boys on the left, girls on the right. Jack and Veles are bunking together. While Flora, you'll be with a long time student. Don't worry, she won't bite." Eros then stops in the middle of the hall and points to one door, stating it's the boys' room.
They turn to the presented door but felt confused when looking at it. It looks like the other doors in the hall, about 8" and arched but unlike the other doors, Jack's and Veles' door is just a blank wooden plank, it doesn't even have a door knob. "Uh, how do we open the door?"
Eros looks at them like they're joking, but then he remembers that they're new. "Oh ya, sorry. One of you place you hand on the door and state your name." Veles looks skeptical, but with what he saw today he'll give a try. He did as Eros instructed and the door started to glow and carve a design along the wood. At the end of the change, the door looked as if a master craftsman has taken their chisel and carved leafs of different colour, the harvest rewards and a setting sun behind tall trees of fall leafs. The door then opens a moment later to show a room that is perfectly semeiotical. Opposite of the door is a window which shows an ever changing garden, and the sides has a bed and a desk, enough for two people. The whole room is covered in fall colours and has a rustic feel.
Veles and Jack go in but the room rejected Jack. It's like there's this invisible wall the formed the second Veles stepped into the room. "Ow, what hit me?" Jack examines the door frame as the others did, but there's no sign of what got him between the eyes. "Isn't this my room to?"
Eros shook his head, "Not yet. You have to do the same thing or the room will keep rejecting you. It's a security system we have for each room. You're not allowed in someone else's room unless you get invited in by someone who owns the room."
"Even if the door's wide open?" Eros nods at Jack's question. Veles closed the door for Jack and he did the same thing. The door changed again and the design changed from all autumn to both autumn and winter. The picture split in the middle; one side had the leaves of golden and harvest hoodies, while the other had hills of pure white and delicate snowflakes fall from the heavens. The middle wasn't a line, but it showed a morphed design of both seasons as small snowflakes landed on massive orange pumpkins and a sun setting over the landscape at the top of the door. The door opens again, and this time the room is painted with autumn and winter colours.
Veles also has his mouth opened wide, "The colours just faded into new ones. The floor even changed." He was right, on his side with the fall colours is mahogany hardwood while Jack's with the winter colours has cozy white carpet. "And this whole world was created by those head seasons? Amazing."
Eros then speaks again, "Ya, they're very powerful beings. Though not invincible." A sad glint flashed on the love god's eyes, but it disappeared and his usual cheeriness covers the moment of sadness. "And back to the security thing. This building knows a lot of things, and it'll know whether or not you're in your rooms when curfew comes. Once the moon is at it's peak in the garden, then it means that we all must be in our rooms. But if you wish to leave to the other realm then you must gain permission from an administration here and they'll let you stay there for as long as you ask for. And no, you really don't want to see what happens when you break these two rules. There's also no way for a student to claim your room by saying your name, since like I said this building knows everything. So no one can pretended to be another person." Taking a breath in, he's done with the need to know information for now.
Jack comes in, and is happy that there's nothing stopping him from coming inside. "To think that there's this whole other world, and all this time it was hidden." The two of them start to put their stuff away from their bags and Eros shows Flora her room.
They didn't even move that far as her room is just across the hall from theirs. Her door however doesn't have it blank, and instead has a beautiful design of a beach, palm trees, huge waves and beautiful tropical flowers. Flora placed her hand on the door and she spoke her name. The door changed to show a side of beautiful meadows filled with different flowers and new born animals start to show, while half holds the picture of the beach and summer. The door opens and sitting on one of the beds is her roommate.
Is it too obvious on who Flora's roommate is? Tell me in reviews what you think. Have a happy Monday!
