??? POV,
I look at the boy at me feet as the doctors look him over.
How he got here is beyond us all.

We see his big, black wings that look broken and strained beyond belief.
Also, there was a girl wrapped for warmth on his back.

They sigh, "He's magical, all right. Headmaster Mage, how do you attract such odd youth?"
The Headmaster from Windsor Academy of Riding is here to see if this mess belongs to her, or the Windsor Academy of Fine Arts.

She asks to see the wings, panic in her voice after looking after the the girl and the boy.
They open them gently.

You can tell where the air pressure snapped a bone or two in half.

I can't look away from his wings.

A flame seems to lick them.
He suddenly moves.
His wing snaps in.

He opens his eyes, and looks at me.
I watch the boy stand, wings dragging behind.
He winches with every single motion.

His smell indicates a long, hard journey.

He looks to the girl with concern, and crouches back down onto the cobbles.

He looks like he knows her very well, enough to cry like he was now.

Tears flood his eyes as he touches her face gently.
He whispers, "Is she okay?"

The Headmaster turns pale when she hears his voice.
She whispers, "Percy?"

He turns to her, wings limp behind him.

He asks, "Yes, Headmaster?"
He sounds like a knight or a prince would, oddly enough.

Then, Headmaster flips out.
She screams, "How could you be so arrogant? I believed you were a smart young man! I thought you to be responsible and strong! Look st yourself! We cannot return you home in this condition after the last month of school! What would your parents say, Percy? Huh? Ever think of anyone beside yourself? Oh, and what about Allie here? What happened to her? She might be dying, all because of your arrogance, Percy! Hey! Look me in the eye when an elder speaks to you! Don't you know anything?"

Percy is shaking.
The doctor walk over slowly.

Percy snarls, "I was planning on going alone! She just came! I have no folks, or parents, to return to! They died of potions..."

Headmaster retorts lowly, "Of course they would. If they're anything like you, it's no wonder.... Percy, what are you doing? Look at me, Percy..."

Percy snarls, "Shut up."
Headmaster taunts the boy more and more.

Percy says in and inhuman whisper, "I warned you."

He walks to me, and whispers, "Take the doctors and students, and go to the Windor Acadmey as fast as possible. Oh, and please spare my girl, too. Leave no one behind."

He whispers a spell, and shakes my hand.

I rush around, sending everyone off.
We leave in a matter of seconds.

I turn around, and freeze.
A huge black explosion errupts behind us.

Then, my best friend rushes over, and comments, "Hey, Ollie, who was that guy?"

I shrug, and we keep walking.
