Arkane Halls

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She smiles a little and hugs him, rubbing his back and wiping her eyes as she could feel tears welling up and threatening to spill over. 'Thank you..' She signs, turning her gaze to the floor.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal smiles and turns his gaze away from them, letting them have their moment. It's best to not interrupt moments like these, he thought to himself.

[Joao]

Blitz rested his scared body upon the school rooftop. He notices one of his favorite comrades in Dragon Riding class lying dead on the ground. Blitz quickly came down and curled up next to body. He summons rain to fall, to represent his sadness.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

"SSHH! I hear movement!" Lokyar whispered frantically.

Sure enough, you all hear footsteps wandering outside, and the door is flung open, revealing a couple of the teachers who had survived the Evacuation.

((Avine, control shifts to you. If you wish to follow this chain of events. I feel the cowering has been done to the limit.))

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal turned his head to look at the teachers.
"Um.... guys?" he said, glancing back at Avine and Lokyar. "We're not alone anymore..."

[Lokyar Brightmane]

((It was our door...))

[Cifero Windtail]

(fixed it)

[MrRazot]

Warren turned his head to the others, holding his breath, a face of fright beheld him.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

"Where's the headmaster?" The taller of ther two ask. Tears start streaming down her face again and she puts her face in her paws. "That fool didn't.." He says, realizing what'd happened by her reaction.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

Lokyar pulled away from Avine.

"Please, not here. Come with me."

He takes them down the corridor and round the corner before explaining what happened. He seemed as stricken as Avine while in the telling, especially while he explained how he had tried to bring him back. When the three of them returned, Lokyar was being near-carried by the other two - such was his grief.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

The taller teacher lets go of Lokyar's and goes over to Avine. He gives her a hug, having been close to her father, and was possibly the next in line foe the position. "It's all right, I'm sure he tried his best." He says, pulling away.

[Lokyar Brightmane]

When the taller teacher let go of Lokyar, he fell to the ground; almost pulling the shorter down on top of him. Upon the tiled floor came a soft *plink*, then another, and another, as a pool of tears slowly developed and widened below Lokyar's muzzle. He muttered sadly and incoherently - it sounded like a heartfelt apology, despite an inability from all around to understand even one of the words being said.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

She rushes over to him and kneels next to him. 'It's okay, you did your best. None of us blame you for what happened.' She signs, sniffling a little. The teachers nod to them and move to talk to Warren and the others.

[Cifero Windtail]

Jackal stood sadly and followed Kitane, a deep rage against the villains who caused this grief burning deep within his skull.

[JohnnyP789]

Savel stayed leaning against the wall, holding the headmasters sword. He bowed his head and thought to himself,"It's my fault... I wasn't there... I wasn't strong enough... I wasn't fast enough..." his hands were shaking and his knuckles were white from him gripping it so hard. He opened his eyes and looked at avine and his vision became blurry. He blinked away the tears threatening to overflow.
