Dropping down I look over to my classmates who are sprinting through the alleys as fast as they can, my eyes drift over to Shea who's using his lightning as a boost "Focus on your own end game, Shiró" looking to my side I see Kaya using her own powers as a boost as well "You know as well as I do it'd be unfair to use such a power to get to the destination." I shrug, sprinting off I grab a shop sign, pulling myself up I jump on to another roof before continuing to sprint "and you think roof-running isn't?" She asks from the ground, laughing whilst diving on to another roof I look at the purple flare, unsheathing Nyx for a tiny bit of power I land at the flare just as my class bursts out of the alleyway "Dammit!" Looking at a Green haired male I furrow my brows "Who's he..?" I whisper to myself as I stand upright.

Hearing a series of loud thuds I dig my heel into the floor unaware of a giant navy cat that's about to drop on to me "Milo!" I shout, patting his side he shrinks to his original size "Sorry Dustin, I heard trouble and my natural instinct is you" he cries, nodding I stand, Milo moving to sit on my shoulder "so you sense it too?" I ask, watching Shea look uneasily to where we were looking "I don't know who's magical energy that is but it's sending me crazy" shea breathes, tying his blue hair back I nod "they are definitely from Estreal..." I murmur, grabbing Nyx, shea unsheathes his own sword "Let me guess.. we're gonna head straight for it?" He asks, smiling I shrug "we can't just leave it here. Could be a danger" I murmur, standing upright "Milo.." I breath, the cat enlarging again I climb onto his back "I'll meet you there.." Shea murmurs, disappearing in a bolt of lightning into the sky I look over to Kaya who's been watching skeptically the whole time.

Arriving at the source of the magic energy my eyes fall on a passed out brown haired demon "is that who I think it is?" Shea asks quietly, landing beside me through a bolt of lightning "What the hell is Rowan doing here?" I breath, crouching beside the unconscious demon, I poke his cheek "is he alive?" Shea asks casually, nodding I move to stand upright now "He's got to be alive else we wouldn't have sensed his magical power" I murmur, turning him on to his front I press my hand to his back "restraints, just in case" I breath, two dark purple glowing bonds tie his hands to his back "We can't risk anything, and that means we can't leave him here" I say boldly, picking him up I drop him on Milo's back "I know that much. Then again Rowan was always a weak demon, do you remember that time he fell in love with Fern and had to fight Tyron for her and lost so hard" he laughs, returning the laugh I nod enthusiastically "that was the best fight ever" I chuckle, climbing on to Milo.

Crouching on the table shea looks at me with a cocked eyebrow "can't you ever just stand normally?" He asks, shaking my head I jolt up when rowan stirs "where am I...?-" he groans, looking at me and shea "Dusty? shea? What are you guys doing here?" He asks, jumping off of the table I crouch in front of him "I could ask you the same thing." I mumble, watching his eyes widen before returning "You guys will make fun of me if I tell you..." he whispers, grabbing his collar my black and purple horns appear "Alright! I-I met a girl here... she's called Beth..." jolting up I drop his collar, my eyebrows furrowing as I stare down at him "as in Beth Lacoste?" I hum, watching him nod I fall on my back "Kaya's best friend..." I groan, hearing shea burst into laughter I groan even louder "You know Kaya?" He asks, sitting up I tilt my head "yeah we go to school together..." I sigh, watching his eyes widen even more "you go to school?!" He asks, nodding I look at shea with a cocked eyebrow "we both do, we're going to take down Godric" I shrug, hearing him make a noise of interest I laugh "I wanna help!" He says quickly, waving my hand his restraints disappear "As you wish..." I exhale.

Shifting slightly, I jolt up resulting in me smashing my head against the ceiling "I will never get use to that..." I groan holding my head "finally awake?" Looking to Magnus I smile slightly "Oh crap! I'm late!" I shout dropping down I grab my shirt and other items of clothing.

Rushing through the halls I burst into class "Mr. shiró, good morning." Looking at the teacher I smile slightly before walking over to Shea and Rowan "This school is amazing Dusty!" Rowan grins like a naive child, laughing I shake my head just as Kaya and Beth walk in "Rowan?" Beth gasps, the brown haired demon waves excitedly "You really are a nerd.." shea grumbles hitting rowans back, Kaya looks at me as she follows Beth towards us "I'll tolerate you for my best friends sake." She hisses, furrowing my brows I Lean back "personally I don't care if you tolerate me or not, If rowan is happy that's all that matters." I shrug, all three of them looking at us both "do you two know each other?" Beth asks, furrowing my brows I fold my arms over my chest "I hate him!" Kaya shouts in unison with me "I hate her!" I shout, their eyebrows arching.
