Knight Of The Witch

New Witch

As she entered the front gate of Dara Academy, Orla was leaving behind her past and entering a new future. She continued to walk down the stone pathway past the gardens, past the water fountains and the student parking lot. Before entering the school, a guard approached her and asked for ID. She handed her new card over silently, hoping that there would be no problems. The card confirmed her identity and was then handed back to her. The guard walked towards the next student as Orla made her way through the main doors.

Across from here she stood was a glass elevator atop a stair case, and a hallway both to the left adn right. Not quite knowing where to go, she started walking left down the hall and as she walked, she took in her new environment, absorbing the sites of the hall and the sounds of the water fountains surrounding the grand staircase. The voice of a man cut short her daydreaming. 

??? "Orla? Orla Winton."

Orla turned in the direction of the mans voice. While he walked towards her, she analized the older fellow.

??? "You must be our new student!"

Orla "Heh yeah... I'm Orla. May I ask who you are?"

??? "Headmaster Samule."

(Oh that's right! He has been the headmaster for a couple decades now.)

HM Sam "Welcome to Dara Academy. Most students call it home."

Orla "Home?"

HM Sam "Most of our students live here. Dorms are available to every student here and the cafeteria is open 16 hours a day, same with the liberary. You can check out books anytime needed. The training grounds are open 24/7 and incase you take on more than you can handle, the infirmary is 24/7 too. The dr on staff is Dr. Wilith and curfew is at 2400 hours. Do you have any questions?"

Orla "Where's my dorm?"

HM Sam "Didn't a student meet you to give you a tour?"

Orla "Nope."

HM Sam "Through out the halls you will find a map of DA on the walls. Have you noticed the coloured lines on the floor? Each colour will lead you to a facility. The black line will take you to the dorms. You're dorm room is 27 and you're room mate is Seth Alson."

Orla "Wait, isn't that a guys name? You expect me to share a room with a dude!?!"

HM Sam "Each dorm room has 2 separate bedrooms."

Orla "But why can't I share a room with another girl?"

HM Sam "What if you are sent out on a assignment with a male student and you have to camp for the night? And what if you couldnt carry more than one tent? Are you going to sleep out in the cold with beasts running around?"

Orla "Ok I see what you're saying."

HM Sam "We here at DA don't see gender. Now where was I... Oh yes! you're Instructors name is Rith, Homeroom starts at 1000 hours. Enjoy the campus."

With that said, Headmaster Samule left Orla to herself. She decided to check out her dorm room before heading to home room. Following the black line, Orla looked for number 27 and opened the door. 

Expecting to see her roommate, she found the room was empty. Across from her were 2 doors. assuming they were bedrooms, she pressed the button to open the one on the left. 

(This one must be Seths. What the...)

Beside the bed, leaning against the night stand was a large sword.

(This thing is huge! it's almost bigger than me?!? And what's with the large pile of books under his bed. And what the hell is that thing?)

Orla walked over to a shelf across from the bed and picked out what appeared to be a human skull.
