Chapter 1: New Blood
The room stood silent and still with the light sound of popping firewood. Near the center of the room were two couches facing parallel to each other; between them both was a Griffin pelt rug. Paintings were placed elegantly to each wall of the room as it set a comforting mood with the windows showing a night sky filled with stars. The air was warm; the halls were empty to this side of the school, with morning bringing another surprise. As the time of peace went by, two new surprises were coming to Parthalan: Academy and Home for Mages. Peace will come and go due to these "New Arrivals", it may even end. But, regardless of what may happen, there shall be a new day for them both.
As he came to his senses and stretched out his limbs, he let out an obnoxious yawn then removed the covers from over his head; letting his scarlet red hair caped across his back and touching his waist. His eyes looking dead as they cracked open at the stroking sound of birds chirping… only to then shoot a dart of fire out the window to silence the bird, followed by a pain-filled tweet. "Damn, birds… It's too early for such noise..."
Erick 'Draco' Westbroke, underdog of the Kingdom of Lazarus, orphaned at birth, and 'Street Blood' of Parthalan. A quick extension and crack of his bones to loosen up and he hopped from bed, he paraded past the bowl of hot water left at his bedside to wash his face; plunging a hand in and rubbing it about to wake himself from slumber wholly. Erick yanked open his drawers and pulled out his clothing: A ruby-red sleeveless vest, robe-like leggings with an armored base, and two clawed red gauntlets with gold trimming. Draco slipped them on and looked over to his window; outside he saw multiple carriages pending through the front gate. He remembered Head Master Corvo discussing this with him— Spring Entry. Every fourth spring the highest graded students are rounded up and perform the Rite of The Phoenix: a rite based on the ascension of a phoenix, the graduates, and the new mages, the ashes.
Erick had known the oath several times, including now. At this very moment he knew it by heart. After the ceremony is over, they bring introduce the new bloods. Corvo found it important to tell Erick he was to receive something special for this spring…. A tutor
