Magically gifted

"I won't let you do that"

"Get away from him!"

"Sto-"

The sound of a sword slicing through flesh brought me to an abrupt awakening. I was sweating, my white fur was matted and my black hair glisten in the moonlight.
"Hey. Bro. You ok? Another nightmare" my brother, marshal was already awake. The blinds have fallen down, he's always been scared of the outside at night.
"In ok mar, I've delt with it before" I say as I sit up to reattach the blinds to there hooks, the wind picking up and filling the room with a chilling feeling. Like something was wrong. And right at that moment, my father came in with news that would shake me to my very core. I've never seen him cry, those hard tears of a man now without a wife.

We had been fighting humans for years now. My mother was a sniper, her luck ran out after a human sniper had spotted her first and took the shot. The funeral wasn't much, but on that day. I saw my fathers grief turn into hatred. He signed up for the war after that. He started as a lowly spellcaster. But quickly shot up the ranks with his unique and destructive form of magic, void. Void was unheard of then, he had passed it on to my twin brother and i too, although my brother was stuck with a diluted version due to my mother ice magic mixing in, he could still make things from the small Portals we could create. I, on the other hand, got what my father had. And along with it all the problems came too. Visions of the future, dreadful nightmares and magic that could easily kill me, you see, your magic needs matter to work. You know, matter can not be created or destroyed, so we feed our portals with mass to make them work. Rocks, old toys, water. Anything can work. But if it happens to be empty when you try to make something, you'll get it. But it will take the mass from your own body. It's the only reason I have glasses.

The war was ended by my father. He lead a storm on the humans command base, giving the humans time to evacuate before he leveled the place with his magic. The peace  treaty was signed "the antro and human indenture". I was, of course, a offer of peace, we didn't wanna take over, this was a war of change. No longer would we be pets.

That was 2 years ago. Now I'm 16 and searching for my father. After the battle at O'Ryan's ridge. He vanished, a Martyr for the cause of peace. I believe he is still out there somewhere.

I'm on a bus, it's a school bus. I'm going to a school to become a bounty Hunter. It would get me out of the walled city's so u could search for him better. In going to the school that was made for him. Alot of the staff there worked with him and know alot about him. The bus is loud, so loud it interups my train of thought. I'm in the antro bus, animals turned into human like creatures when the magic came. The humans get a Separate bus, tensions are still high between us. The bus comes to a halt outside a group of buildings very close to the city walls. The walls are Titanic in nature, with a reenforced glass roof to keep the Drake's and dragons out. As I step off the bus into the sunlight. I see a sea of people, humans and antros divided by a very pronounced line in-between them, there's lots of talking amongs the kids. I stay to myself and put on my headphones. Listening to antro bands like "lead astray" a all cat rock band. Before I get too transfixed on my phone. I notice a person out of the corner of my eye. A large bear with short brown hair, a black shirt with a red plaid shirt over it. Unbuttoned. He had a large leather suit case and jeans. He must have been Atleast 6ft 5. His blue eyes looking at me. I give him a wave and he starts to make his way over. Ugh. I don't wanna talk to other people.
"Hello" he says. In a very Russian accent "I am Boris. Boris Medevd. Your Isaac right?" He asked politely. I nod in agreement and take out my headphones
"How do you know my name?" I ask. Switching of my phone and putting it in my hoddie pocket.
"My father served with yours in the war? Nikhil Medevd?" He shows my a picture on his phone. I know that man's name. My father would write about him, the stupid things they got up to always made me laugh. I smile at him.
"Yeah I know him. Didn't know he had a son" he was towering above me. Im only 5ft 2, he must be at least 6" 7. It's like looking up a skyscraper.
"I'm glad to have found you. My dad heard yours went missing and wanted to make sure you were ok. He heard you were coming here so I dicided to go too" he smiles and chuckles alittle.
"You a magic user?" I ask. Playing with my claws and fur
"Nyet, I'm a swordsman. Maybe I could teach you a thing or two" he Pat's my back and chuckles some more. I can't help but smile back. Before I could ask anymore questions about my new found Soviet friend, a group of teachers walk out. One is a human in a suit, another a panda in a dress with glasses and a bun. The human speaks.
"Good morning to you all and welcome to redburns school for the magically gifted. Why some of you may be not magical, we have seen potential in you all into this fine school. We thank you all for your hard work and dedication to get this far. The road ahead will be tough. But we shall be tougher! relati embrace!" He holds his hand up and many of the students cheer "you shall all be given rooms off four. These four shall be your team. Choose wisely. Tomorrow you will get your classes and ties so today is for getting to know your brothers and sisters in arms. Have a wonderful day and may you all have the meteors light bless your day" after speaking he vanishes and the panda walks back inside, we follow her to the massive main hall.
"We should team up. It would only make sense" Boris pipes up. I didn't mind it.
"We still need two other people though" I think for abit.
"I know two guys. One is a human though"
Ugh. A human.
"Fine. Just as long as he respects us. I'll go get our room number. I'll text you it" we both nod and part way for the time Being.

A few minutes later. I meet boris and his two friends at room 064. There's Boris himself, a cat. Rather small with a black and gray stripped tiger pattern with white mittens and under belly. He's wearing a loose and slightly creased shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned. He has goggles on his head and ripped jogging bottoms. The other was was the human. A sorta black pompadour with a suit and trousers, a small purple gemstone rose sits pined go his pocket. I know a thing like that anywhere. It's a rune. He uses hypnosis. Yet another reason to not trust him. Hes the first one to notice me. He waves at me and puts out his hand. It took me off guard. I look at him bewildered.
"Hello. Im Cameron. I'm an ice mage. I know I'm a human but I do hope we get along. And this is my friend Oliver" he holds the cat around the shoulder. The cat shyly says hi. They sound like they were born around where I was from. Yorkshire. I give the human a respectful nod and open the door with the key card. "It's Abit like a hotel isn't it" the human says before we walk in. It was like a four bedroom apartment. It was huge. Carpet floor, bathroom. Living room and kitchen.
"Shall we all disappear into your rooms?" Boris suggest, we all nod and head to your rooms. I open my door and the room inside changes from a Black void to a nice large room with a tv and games. A large, warm, fluffy bed, a drawing table with a light, a computer for digital art and lots and lots of paper. I unpack my things and lay in my bed completely exhausted.

I ended up passing out. Waking up a few hours later. I fix my glasses and walk out of my room. My three room mates where all playing videogames and talking about stuff.
"Morning sleepy head" Boris teases "I can't blame you though" he Giggles and makes room on the sofa for me. I blush slightly, I've never really been accepted into any friend group. People normally avoid me because of my dad. I take my seat and get handed a controler and start playing along. There started one of the best things I've ever done. All the laughing and playfulness put me in a genuinely good mood. After all the Laughing had died down. We checked the Time. It was late. We all dicided to get to bed. We said our goodnights and hits ready for bed. I softly dozed off in the warm silk covers.

"One of these days your gonna get me killed"

"Don't hurt th-"

The warm splatter of blood on my face wakes me up in a cold sweat. I put on my glasses and had a walk around. After a few minutes I get a knock on my door.
"Who's there?" I say quietly
"It's me. Boris" he slowly opens the door "are you ok?". I nod. Looking to the side. He sits on my bed and taps the space next to him. I sit "nightmares?"
"You could call them that" I respond. Trying to play it off. But I'm shaking and my fur is up on end. Doesn't matter though, he can see right through it. He rubs my ears softly causing me to sleepily purr. He smiles
"Need some company for bed? Maybe I will help" he offers. I blush only slightly and hide it very well.
"Sure. We can try it" I let a smile sneak out of me as we may down and he pulls the covers over us. For some reason I feel so protected. Like I can do anything. His fur is warm and safe feeling. I find is hard to keep my eyes open, him playing with my ears doesn't help. After a while I drift off to sleep slowly.

"I'll keep you safe. Don't worry your little kitten head about it"
