Dustys PoV

Sitting at the back of the silent class, leaning back into the seat casually I look up at the sound of the door slamming open. Shea and Rowan bursting in worried and concerned looks plastered across their faces. Almost immediately a strong powerful sense hits me and Milo almost instantly shoots up, my pupils dilating at the familiarly strange feeling. rushing down the middle of the tables and chairs, Ignoring kayas harsh glare on me as I rush out of the classroom.

Stopping at the field beside the floating academy, my eyes fall on a familiar blonde, his turquoise eyes landing on me "the prince of Estreal! What a surprise to see you in this realm!" He cheers, furrowing my brows I draw my sword "Don't worry your highness, I'm not here to bring you back to Estreal, I've lived in Ukuroko for centuries." He shouts, glaring at him I look at Shea and Rowan who are staring in disbelief at our centuries old friend, Ilya Saint "What are you doing here Ilya." I say loudly, my voice stern and bold, as milo stands in his large form beside me "You know I wasn't surprised at all to see that you had earned a familiar as the earthlings call them" he states swerving from my question, I point my sword, the black and purple flames spilling from the sword slowly as they begin engulf my form, my tail swishing as my horns appear, my eyes glow "Now, now My prince, I do no harm" he shouts raising his hands in defence I furrow my brows "answer my question." I say fiercely as his eyebrows arch he smirks "I heard your taking on your father." He chimes, furrowing my brows I tilt my head "Where'd you hear that?" I ask, watching him hum he shrugs "I have my sources" he mumbles, nodding I go to speak but am stopped when a large red portal appears, watching as Hendrickson and Liv appear, livs long golden hair blowing in the wind as Hendricks white hair covers his pitch black eyes "hey big bro!" Liv giggles, clenching Nyx tightly in my hand, Shea and Rowan draw their weapons as Ilya hurries to my side his hands surround with a faded yellow colour "Wind demon" I murmur, watching him smirk I laugh "I don't see the point in father sending you, he knows he can send all of you and I'll rip the insides of all of you to shreds." I explain, watching Hendrickson scoff he goes to throw a knife at me, in an instant I'm right in front of him, my sword pointed at his throat, Liv conjures a fire circle which burns around me "You've improved" I chuckle, blood dripping down the side of my face "Of course I have" she chuckles, watching as Hendrickson waves his arm, a bolt of electricity rips through my flesh, blood gushing out of the right side of my waist, liv sets fire to Ilya who puts it out with his wind, I back into Ilya, my eyes glowing as well as his turquoise ones, mixing my black and purple flames with his wind, it explodes and engulfs liv and Hendrickson, I swallow a lump before inhaling "By the royal status i possess, I, Dusty Shiró, prince of Estreal, SEND YOU BACK TO GODRIC, THE DEMON KING!" I shout, flames engulfing my body in an instant, the brilliant glow of them cutting through the darkening skies "He'll keep sending more big bro!" Liv shouts as she and Hendrickson disappear into the portal.

Walking into the academy, blood covering the majority of my white shirt and drying on my dark tanned skin, Ilya's bloody blonde hair covering his turquoise eyes, as blood drips down the corner of his mouth, I open the door to the class I'm meant to be in, Mr Bailey looking up at me his eyes widen "Dusty! What happened!?" He shouts, leaning against Ilya I breath "Just.. training.." I lie through my teeth, feeling Kaya and her friends gaze on me, Shea and Rowan appear behind us with no scratches or cuts, Ilya's blue jacket torn and ripped "go rest, you can have the day off." He says, waving my hand as I leave I exhale.

Lounging in my dorm I watch as the door opens and Mr Fernandez walks in "another demon?" He asks, nodding I gesture to The blonde who's eating ramen beside me as Shea and Rowan play ping pong "yeah, this is Ilya, he's a really old good friend of mine.." I say gesturing to him as the blonde looks up "Ilya this is the academy's headmaster, Kyle Fernandez" I murmur, watching the headmaster nod he shakes Ilya's hand "I see you've been fighting." He says seriously, holding my hand on my head which is covered with dry blood I hum "Just an encounter with two of my siblings." I reply, watching him nod I jolt up when Magnus bursts through the door with Kaya and Beth "Y'all are covered in blood!" He shouts as he hurries us off of the couches "Excuse us for wanting to sit down after what we had just been through..." Shea groans as he rests his head on Rowans shoulder, earning a death glare from Beth "what even happened to you guys" Beth asks grabbing Rowans bloody hand "An encounter with a few demons" Ilya lies through his teeth as everyone looks to him "who's he..?"Magnus asks, placing my hand on Ilya's shoulder I smile "this is Ilya, he's a good friend of mine." I reply, watching them nod, Kaya glares at me.

Standing in the bathroom as I stitch my own face up from the wounds I had gained by my brother, Hendrickson, I turn slowly to look over my shoulder at Kaya who's just walked in "So you brought another Demon into our academy." She says sternly, clenching my jaw I look at her through the mirror "I don't see what the problem is." I reply boldly, watching her scoff she smiles smugly "my problem is your kind. We're meant to be fighting demons not letting them in." She says harshly, dropping the suture kit now I turn, my eyes glowing "Me and my friends want to destroy the hostile part to my kind. Don't blame us for something we had no control over!" I shout, watching her stare at me I breath "Maybe we don't want your help!" She shouts after a moments hesitation, staring at her with wide eyes, my yellow irises glowing, whilst my tail wraps around my leg I clench my jaw, nodding "Message received." I whisper before walking out.
