The Academy of Mystical Beings discussion

The passageways lead anywhere you want. To every room in the whole household. So it's pretty easy to get lost here.

Flora walked through dark tunnel not really caring where they were heading. She smiled and looked back at Adelaide. "Stay close. I don't want you to get lost."

She nodded. "So how old are you?"

"About 10." Flora shrugged and swished her hand before the torc making itlight up and float in front of them. "You?"

"Seventeen." She seems pretty mature for her age.

"I want to be seventeen as well." Flora pouted before she laughed. "What's so great about be 17? More freedom?"

She laughed. "Somewhat. Though being ten is even better, so enjoy it."

"Yeah, I guess." Flora nodded and looking around, she whistled loudly that echoed in the whole tunnel. With that, flash of light appeared and soon Rue was standing before them.

Adelaide jumped. "Holy...!"

Rue yawned and then narrowed his eyes at the girl. "What do you want, Flora?" "Meet Adelaide. New sister." She grinned. He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I'm Rue." He smiled-yawned giving her his hand.

Adelaide nodded curtly as she shook his hand.

He let go of it and stretched. "And you had to wake me up?" "Yes." She crossed her arms with slight frown then she smiled. "Show her your cards."

"Cards?"

"Yep. For my powers and my twin brother's, we chose game of death. Or so called Cards of Fate." Rue shrugged

"Huh. And who's your twin?"

"Sol." Rue gestured to the flash of light and then his brother.

"Ah, okay." She nodded. I'm going to have to carry around a notebook or something so I can keep track of all my new sibs.

"As you see, they are pretty weird. So sometimes, avoid them." Flora hid behind her glaring at Sol who smiled brightly.

She laughed. "How old are you guys?"

"17." They both replied

She nodded. "So am I."

"Nice. You then can--" Rue was interuppted by Flora. "Cannot."

"I can't what?"

((Don't forget the dream world, por favor. :D))

((I'm sorry! DX I tend to forget about things :P))

"Play their foolish game." She muttered as Sol scowled. "Why she can't?" "Because she's your new sister. And if you do, Vi will lock you up in that room again."

((It's fine!))

"But I like games."

"Damgrous game. Their cards." Flora replied slightly hissing at them. They both shurgged. "She wants to though."

Adelaide blinked. She was unsure of whether or not she truly wanted to play. How bad can it get? she thought, shrugging. "Yeah."

"Fine. But you two will answer to Violet." Flora growled lowly at twins and took few steps back as they took out their cards.

"All right. So how do I... play?"

"Simple. You choose the card and no matter what happens, you need to be awake. Now this is not real, but the pain will feel like it's real. If we win, you'll give us rest of your soul. If you win, we will stop bothering you with the game." They shrugged taking turns in explaining.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Never mind."

"See? The game is bad." Flora frowned putting her hand on her bracelet reading to call Violet. They shrugged again. "Our powers."

She shook her head. First Kristopher, now Rue and Sol. Where are the sane siblings?

"And I'm guessing you would want to play later." Rue said with smirk before they bowed and said together. "Good bye then." With shadows wrapping around them, they disappeared. Flora sighed. "Now would you like to see someone normal?"

She laughed. "Yes, please."

"Farther down the tunnel there's secret door to ballroom. Maybe Iris or Evelyn is there. Maybe Ciel or Thane." Flora grinned and started walkimg forward. "Oh, and you'll get used to this. Everyone is a bit crazy here."

"I used to think I was crazy until I met these people. Which ones are good crazy?"

"Umm... If you mean, like I will kill you, then Iris, Cortana, Griffin, Thane, Devon, Evelyn, Ciel, and few more I think." Flora replied

"Huh. Okay. Just that a few of our siblings are... well..."

"Have a good sanity. Others are scared by the their first transformation. Happens but not always." She nodded

"Their first transformation? Into my demonic side?"

"Ah, yes. It -- your hunger -- would come to a piont that you will feel as if someone is tearing at your bones and muscles at the same time. When that part is over, your hair changed along with your eyes depending on the color of your bracelet." Flora shuddered still feling that pain.

Adelaide nodded, remembering how she'd gone to hell to have her soul ripped from her and heaven to feast on other souls. "I still feel incredibly guilty for consuming souls to satisfy my hunger. But..."

"Don't be guilty." Flora stopped feeling the dark stone walls of the tunnel searching for trapdoor. "You do that survive. Everyone does."

She nodded slowly. "Yeah, I suppose." She shrugged.

"Oh, and one more thing. You can eat normal food as well. Souls are like... extra boosting up food. Sometimes decreases your hunger." She smiled and kickd tbe wall opening a door.

"I think real food tastes better," she joked as she went through the door.

She grinned then grimaced. "Ugh, stairs. You are willing to go up?" She grumbled

She nodded and ascended.

"Another funny thing, you'll need to learn how to dance." She snorted following her up the stairs.
