🧩A Perplexing Puzzle🧩 (Updated)

Outside of Ramshackle dormitory is where you three stood. The gate rusted and warped from time and weather. Metal broken in places as if beasts had treated it as an item to let out their anger. Graffiti from paint or marker ink littered across the bars.

Yuu was the first to speak up. "Uh, you want us to stay...here?"

"Isn't it delightful? Right, scoot inside now. There you go." Headmage Crowley chuckled playfully as he lightly shoved Yuu inside. You followed behind Crowley, glaring at the back of his head for the microaggression toward Yuu. Your own hand shoving him forward as well. Dire's foot getting stuck in the frame. Causing the avian wannabe to stumble in with a choked gasp. Catching himself before he call fall forward.

Ramshackle lounge looked as if someone had... well, been ransacked. The fireplace covered in dust with cobweb covered logs within the abandoned hearth. Cushioned loveseats and arm chairs had varying sizes of tears. Stuffing seeming to spill out from the rips like gushes of blood from a laceration. Wooden floors looked rotted in some spots. Creaking beneath the foot steps of you three. So dirty that you dare not take off your shoes.

"This should keep the elements at bay for the time being. Now, I should return to my research. Do try to find some way to busy yourselves." Crowley said as he quickly dashed for the door to escape you freezing glare. "When I return we shall discuss what you both shall be doing on this campus."

"Very well Headmage." You acknowledge firmly as you look around. Examining the damages and filth in detail.

"Don't let me catch you wandering the campus! Ta!" He said towards Yuu, before quickly taking his leave. Stomach loudly growling as he does so.

Your new friend, Yuu, sighed as he rubbed his temples in worry and stress. "It's like a desolate snowscape. Only with dust..." A small fit of coughs erupts from his throat from the amount of dust that floats within the air. 

"It'll all be fine. Let us take a step outside as I fix this place into a proper estate made for living. Your human body will get sick if exposed to cold temperatures for too long." Your hands resting on his shoulders. Guiding him out into the night air. Allowing his lungs to work properly again.

Yuu's expression turns slightly shy as you guide him out. Your touch was firm on his shoulders. Making him feel a small bit of safety. "Th-that would be nice. Thank you.. I-I appreciate it."

Steps across the gravel pathway echo into the night air until you both are back outside the weathered fence. Covering his eyes with your hands as the edges of your long ponytail begins to glow a bright amber. The slitted pupils within your eyes thinning into a line as your eyes glow menacingly in the dark. Dirt and stone rumbling as it moves to your will. Shifting to swallow up the massive broken down manor in a massive hole. Stone pillars erect themselves from the ground. Spitting out the wooden planks from the manor to cover the pillars. Nails made of rock shooting into the wood to hold the boards in place.
