Magic, now what is it? A manipulation of many elements in the world? A belief? A practice? Some may believe in it and some may don't. Now, let me tell you, what if there was another universe in which we did have magic, mythical creatures, and such? You wouldn't believe me, now will you? Well let me tell you about a universe of magic, a place where a simple boarding school is known and where a clashing story will begin in, an academy named;

Gauxiara

The shuffles of paper and pens were heard from the office of the headmaster, frantic pace of his foot were loud and his breathing shallow as he pinned maps and blueprints upon the corkboard. The distraught man moved his marker swiftly among the scattered prints with the intent of circling the important details, the words and the images hurting his head but making him even more determined. Edmond groaned to himself before putting away the marker and taking a seat on the pristine, oak wood chair, he twiddled with his thumb and muttered math equations under his breath until a small knock came from the door;

"Eddy?" called the voice of his martial arts teacher, such a strange sight to the eyes of many was the man with a built structure but a gentle smile and a gentler touch. "Do you have any time this afternoon?'" Louis swept inside the office with a flick of his glasses and strode towards the desk with soft movements. Edmond smiled at him languidly, his lavender eyes gazing back at emerald ones "Why, of course I do, Louis. Would you like a walk at the garden or a little picnic?" he muttered, placing the stacks of papers to the side of his desk and put his hands on his desk afterward. The other man in front of him twiddled his thumbs with a flush "Perhaps you can read to me one of those novels you have in your possession?" he stuttered out quickly, embarrassed to be asking his friend about a thing that would seem very simple for an adult such as him.

Contrary to what some may believe in, Louis Magnol was a productive fellow who seemed to always be amazed at the simple things, a small flower he had never seen before? a lovely smile would spring to his face, A book with a wonderful couple? A small flush and a "Will you read it again?" will always be the response, a birthday? He would gladly light up the garden for all the students to celebrate and have fun in. He was a good man with good intentions, that was clear. Such things are what Edmond would think to himself whenever he would see his martial arts teacher, his companion, his best friend.

"Of course, Louis. As I've said, no need to get embarrassed. Shall I bring the wine as well?"

"Please do, Eddy. Thank you so much"

"There is no problem, always for my friend"

A dashing smile covered the headmaster's face and a sheepish smile on the other. Edmond thought that that was the end of it, but Louis sat down on the chair and his face changed to a serious one, the headmaster's frows burrowed in confusion at the man's actions and he fixed his glasses to accommodate the energy that suddenly made everything tense "Edmond." The teacher stared dead into Edmond's eyes and reached out his hands clumsily to take off the man's glasses, cup his cheeks "What have you been doing? Why are you so stressed?" he felt the man caresses his cheeks and eyebags, Edmond flushed and tried to stutter out a response when the warmth on his face left and Louis got up to trace his glowing finger on the blueprints on the wall, his brain trying to process the words with great difficulty and failing in the end but knowing how Edmond process, he turned back to his friend and gave a worried look "It is the Timelines, innit?" Edmond couldn't help but nod at him and look at his mess of a wall; math equations, portal images, chemicals, unknown powers that may trigger such a thing, prophecies, and such. It wasn't an easy subject, to begin with, but Edmond was the determined one and he had done all his research.

"I know it will be the end of something, Louis. I cannot depend on the prophecies that I have scavenged, nor the possibility of the end of our universe or timeline. It is just madness" Edmond rubbed his eyes, a headache dwelling on the back of his head. The headmaster took the marker swiftly and pointed to one particular image; an image of a portal that says AA4 "There, Louis. That says AA4, I have concluded that that Universe hasn't been destroyed yet, I just do not know how to test my hypothesis when even I do not know to hop again" Louis put his hand on his chin in thought and sighed before turning around to his stressed companion "Eddy... Please, lay off for a while. I am worried for you, friend." placing his hand on top of the other man, the worried teacher smiled at him sadly and his hand glowed to give the headmaster ease; it did.

"I will... I will"

"Okay good, I thought I would have to buy you another batch of demopups to make you feel better again"

"Oh dear god, don't do that again. Apollo and the other students smelled like shit, and gunk was everywhere."

"You liked it though, so I will do it again if I have to"

"I liked it because at least I had some bonding time with my students and staff"

"Hm.. fair point"
