The Nguruvilu

Houses of Power

The creature stepped forward, his yellow eyes shining. He was in his full form. Red scales glowing proudly as he slithered forwards. That slimy bastard was back."I'm Necu Firststalker, I'm a Basilisk and I will be the first," he declared proudly. 

He placed his hand on the first item, a bow with a golden wood and diamonds embedded in it. When nothing happened, he moved on. He went to the second one and placed his hand on it. The next one was machete, it had pink wood and the blade was obsidian. Nothing, he moved to the next one. The next was a katana, it had a dark green handle with a bright blue blade. As he was about to move, the katana started glowing bright blue and dark green. The tables, with the matching colours, started cheering. 

"Welcome to Gorgonis, Necu!" Rei yelled. She looked so proud. 

I stalked, floating, up to the tables. How dare that fake King try to upstand me. "I am Loki Riddle. A true King of Snakes!" I declared, as strongly as possible. The Headmaster smirked in a very feline way. 

I placed my hand on the, I could feel its presence, but it didn't call to me. I moved to the machete, the same happened, no calling. Same with the katana. The next was a long spear, it had a light yellow pole and a dark lavender blade, it seemed to be listening, but didn't call. The final held a scythe of a dark red blade and dark grey handle. I barely touched the handle when they glowed, so bright, yet it showed me something. Myself covered in an elaborate assassins outfit, scythe held in my hands. They were the same as the ones in front of me, yet different, more power. I was pulled back by, a deep voice shouting. 

"Welcome to Wyvernpaw." I floated up to the air table of my house. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rest paced in a blur, though I do remember this huge white wolf with grey-blue eyes and very pale purple wings coming up, he was kludle. He was grouped into Wyvernpaw. I caught a faint scent, it was the most wonderful thing ever. It smelled like a forest after it rained, so peaceful and calming. 

There was a female that I recognized, Bellatrix's daughter, Doriafa. She had an emerald and lavender tail, and long, curly black with white tipped hair. Her eyes were pale blue and had a crazy light to them. She was a siren and banshee hybrid. She was sorted into Gorgonis. Another he saw were the Lestrange twins Azure and Ezura, Ezura was a male and Azure was a female. They were opposites, yet the same. Ezura was more like a griffon, he had a the light brown and gold body of a griffon, but had a siren's scales and abilities. His eyes were a pale purple. Azure was more siren, was mostly human from the waist up. She had griffon wings and a second lion tail, and feathers in her short hair. her hair was dark brown, white skin, dark blue eyes, gold and black tail. They were siren and griffon hybrids. They were both put in Quetzalal. One other student caught my attention Thalnir a male in Wyvernpaw, he appeared to be a fallen god, a star so bright none could stop its power. He had skin as black as the night, there were constellations covering his body, his hair streamed out golden light, and his eyes were a mix of luminous red, blue, and yellow. 

"Now students," Headmaster Noritis yelled. The grouping over and everyone at their tables. "Let me say that you are never to leave the boundaries of the school. The dangers out there are far to great. After we finish you are to go to your house palace and prepare for the night, but tomorrow feel free to explore the corridors. Another note that you will be trained in the weapon of your house, and once you master it are free to train in another weapon. Let the feast begin!" He cheered. Food appeared on the tables, every variety for any creature. From fish, to raw meat, to plants, to exotic food I had never seen before. 

The dinner passed with little interruptions. As everyone was finishing five teachers rose from the head table, each one went to a different table set. The one that stopped at our table was a gargoyle. He was very tall and covered in spikes, he had long, razor sharp wings and hair of thin solid stone. He carried a scythe on his back and twin daggers on his thighs, he was in hunting leathers of dark green. "First ones come with me, I am your house leader, Dune Qagri. I will take you to the Wyvernpaw palace," his deep voice was the one that called out to him after touching the scythe. "Now come." 

We followed him through the maze of hallways, we stopped at a huge constellation. It was a huge paw, clawing through the sky. Dune put his hand on the center, and the wall slid down. In front of us was a dark, winding staircase, it stretched up into darkness. As we entered the darkness of grey stone, red torches lit the stairwell. It bathed the entire place in a bloody light. 

"It seams scarier than it is, so don't worry, you'll love it," Dune said as he noticed our hesitation. He walked up the stairs. I was the first one to brave the steps, I followed as confident as possible. The rest of my year followed behind me, before they were left behind. The stairs just stretched up and up, around and around. At the top of the steps was a large, dark wood door. It had the intricate depiction of a wyvern protecting her eggs. 

"Claws and Teeth," Dune said as the door swung open. "That is the password to get into the Palace, the wall at the bottom was keyed into your handprint the moment the Scythe chose you. Now lets go." He disappeared into through the door. We stepped forward to follow.

If any of you are wondering Zravas was with the other familiars during the whole time and was led to the Palace after Loki was grouped. Word count was 1060.
