Andrea and Asher were on their way to the new location, hoping they wouldn't get lost. They walked on the sidewalks with all their books and equipment in their bags. From the outside they look to be normal students. The shopping bags in their grasp are only black, and an illusion appears to show normal, dusty books.

    It was the exclusive way all witches and wizards could hide their recognition from the ordinary humans walking the streets.

    "Are you sure we are going the right way?" Asher asked Andrea, while she glanced at him with annoyance. "I'm going where the note tells me to. It's not like you are any better" Andrea said and continued to step farther away. Asher groaned and walked faster to catch up to Andrea. He could perceive something was disturbing her, but Asher was oblivious, and couldn't figure out what it was. Asher decided it was best not to query it, they both didn't need to bicker on the first day.

    "I'm sorry, I know that sounded rude I just-" Andrea said and Asher caught a glimpse of her shaking her fingers, trying to repose herself. Asher took the bags out of her hands and raised her chin up slightly to meet his eyes.

"If only you would tell me what is wrong..." Asher thought and gave Andrea a soft smile, "It's alright, you just seem stressed out that's all. Here, I'll take your bags and lead the way". Andrea went down to the pavet to grab her bags and Asher took them out of her grasp.

Andrea chuckled and just looked around their surroundings. All oak trees and a dirty pathway, normal for the regular world. The way to the location was through the forest, it was the only way Black Academia workers could keep it hidden. It had to be concealed... unless the wizards wanted to be spotted.

They continued to walk on the rocky path, trying to avoid the tree roots that grew in while they were at it.

"Well if they want to hide it they sure did" Andrea said walking over the tree's roots and dodging all of the loose branches hanging from above. All the hanging dead branches helped obscure it even more, but only made the trip more challenging for the witches and wizards.

Asher was focusing more attention on all the branches since they could easily get attacked by one. "Yes they did, but we must be really early or late. We haven't seen anyone" Asher said. It was true, no one else was near them on this crazy adventure. Many people lived over in their state for school and would have to take the same path.

"Don't worry about it, let's just get to the location, who knows how much longer it will be" Andrea told Asher and they continued walking through the winding forest.

30 minutes of struggling through the branches and paths they arrived at the destination. Modern gray bricks filled one section of the walls with a slightly lighter gray for the rest of the walls. They saw only some windows at the front, and it even displayed a second floor with the same design as the base floor. They looked in awe of the new place, when they both caught a glimpse through darker colors, it looks welcoming.

"An airport? Are we flying now?" Asher questioned while Andrea laughed. "I guess so, come on! We have to check in!" Andrea pulled Asher to the entrance. Asher chuckled and smiled to see Andrea enjoying her time, as if she forgot about the Swarthy Sea.

They walked through the sliding doors and saw only a few families. Many were still trying to make their way through the trees and into the airport. Andrea and Asher got into the line with their bags in hand. Andrea took her own bag after talking him into giving it back to her.

"Well we are sure lucky we came early" Asher said, the service wasn't the greatest. It was slow, and with many families they still needed to go through.

It took both of them an additional 15 minutes to finally get their service. They walked to one of the workers, "Hello, what are your guys names?" they asked. Andrea and Asher stated their names to the worker and he was able to find them right away. "Please place your bags onto the weighing, then you guys can move along" he asked.
