A Twisted Tail

Chapter 1. ~The Sorting~

The spot light that once was above the head master had just disappeared like he wasn't even there. The room fell silent immediately. A black face appeared on the mirror. The same black face that was in Snow Whites castle with the Evil Queen.

There was a high pitched shriek from across the room.

"T-the Mirror of Darkness..I-is the-" the stuttering girl came was interrupted immediately.

"No. I'm not the same mirror that once belonged to the Evil Queen. I wasn't created for evil. But for simply sorting the new year students to their dorms for the next 4 years. Now, just like what the Dire had said. Lets begin." The mirror had a deep tone. It was soft but then again was strong with power.

The room fell silent and waited for something to happen. Half wanted like if something will fall from the sky or rise from the ground.

"Sarah Maxwell." The tone of the mirror deepen with power.

The girl that we guess that was Sarah Maxwel slowly walked from her place. The groups of girls and boys moved out of the way for her. Many started whispering as she passed them. She slowly approached the mirror and clearly was scared with her hands behind her back. She had long hair that was pulled up in a messy bun. She must have just gotten up and didn't have any time to get ready to leave.

She stood in front of the mirror. We're pretty sure if it had eyes it'll be looking her up and down before deep in her soul.

"You're magic is strong." The mirro finally spoke after a few minutes. You can see her visibly relax taking that as a good sign.

"But. Unfortunately, I don't see you in any of our dorms. You may return to your place amount your classmates." Sarah stood there a few minutes in shock.

"B-but..I've studied all kinds of magic, please! There has to be a place for me!"

The flames in the mirror went from the green to the deep red.

"That's enough! I told you go back to where you were standing at! You have no place here!" She tried to protest once again but slowly lowered her head.

"A-alright.." She mumbled before slowly returning to her place. The groups moving out of her way. Some clapped for her so she felt alright and she didn't do anything wrong and she was ok to be the first one going home.

The flames turn back to the green slowly. The Mirror signed.

"Like you was told before arriving. Or should have been told. Not everyone will be accepted in. And you must accept that. It doesn't matter how much or hard you've studied many different kinds. Nor the schools you been too." The mirror fully returned to normal before carrying on.

"Andy Blackflame."

This continued for about an hour or so. Some people gave up on standing for hours on end and gave in to sitting on the ground. Others stayed standing up like nothing is wrong but clearly close to their breaking point. Weak.

Standing up for this long wasn't so hard for me. This was easy in my opinion; specially when hunting for fun. You'll be standing or squatting for hours on end before you can pounce.

When you look up towards the 7 leaders they seem not to be phased at all either. At the 50 minute mark throne looking chairs was brought out for them. Only half stand in them. Some sat with their back bent leaning forward using their knees for support by their elbows. Their hands resting on their chin. Others sat back with a purpose. One of their leg crossed on the other, their hand at their cheek.

Their facial expression was unshown. The only part of their body you can see was the uniforms or the casual outfit of each. And the mouth of each.  Its not hard to pick out which one belonged to each dorm.
