Rai(Character Introduction)

Rai had been meeting professors all morning. Some were polite and mearly thought he was a new servant looking for the quarters he had been asigned to. Others seemed to not like his presecence at the school and gave him looks like they could see through him, like they could see his past. Though that was impossivle the only person who should know about him at this school was the head master. Atleast thats what mister Talmier had prommised and for some reason Rai trusted him with his life. How had this all happened to him? He shouldnt be at this school. He was way out of place.

Rai had been bringing the fish he had caught in to the small town market closest to his camp sight to sell when he saw a fully mounted wagon just outside of town being surrounded by over half a dozen armed men. They moved like trained warriors spreading out evenly as they approached the wagon. The wagon was clearly the belongings of some weathy person given by its design and the beautiful horses attached to it. Rai's first though was robbers but he quickly rulled it out the eight men moved to smoothly to be robbers. The driver had obviously left it out side of the town while he did business so he wondered why they had drawn there weapons. Rai just couldnt get rid of the feeling that he should protect the wagon even if it ment breaking his vow of nonvilance.

Right before the group could attack the wagon Rai came in behind one of the armed men and hit him at the base of his skull where the spine ran into. The attackers realized that there was an enemy but it was to late for them to escape. Not that the group of several men Rai had decided must be assassins would run from a six foot shaggy haired kid who was wearing severely ragged clothing. Rai had snagged the sword from the guy he had just hits hand and pulled the guys dagger from his belt and before the body could hit the ground he threw the knife at the assassin closest to the wagon. As soon as the dagger left his hand he dashed at the clossest attacker so fast that very few normal people could have avoided it. That guy obviously wasnt one of them because he didnt even have time to react to Rai's slash to his throat. The body hit the ground at almost the same time as the guy Rai had thrown the knife at. The sight of blood made Rai wanna throw up but he didnt have time to repent for it now with five assassins left standing. The biggest guy out of the attackers was around the same hight as Rai but twice as big and all of it was solid muscle. A normal person would have folded under the power of his two handed side slash but Rai had fought bigger, alot bigger and he was incredibly skilled at physical enhancement magic. He blocked the big guys swing with one hand, stepped into his body, and landed an uppercut all in a fraction of a second. The blow was so powerful that the guys body flew a few feet through the air before making a crumpling sound as it hit the ground. Rai didnt watch because he still had to deal with the two attackers coming at him with seriously fast lunges. Though Rai was more worried about the wagon where the last two attackers had just jumped on the roof. He dodged perfectly to the right of the first lunger and stabed him through his left side perfectly hitting the heart. He tossed the body between him and the second lunger then he shot around the body and hit the second lunger with the hilt of his sword knocking the guy out cold. The two assassins on the roof were already in motion to stab there blades into the roof of the wagon so Rai forced all the magical power he could manage into his step and shot himself between the two men. He knocked away the blade of the man to his left and kicked the man to his right in the stomache so hard he flew off the wagon. The last attacker didnt get the chance to try again. Rai slashed him across the chest and his body dropped off the wagon with Rai jumping off after it.

The rest was kind of hazy but he clearly remembered the man comming out of the wagon as calm and composed as anyone could be with a girl about his age clinging to there arm and shaking with fear. The man apologized for not helping out with the fight cause the girl named Mara wouldnt let go of his arm. The man was named Saiz Talmier and he delt with the town guards like it was a common thing for him. Mister Talmier wanted to hear everything and so Rai told him his story and he told Rai about Maric and all of its opportunities. He asked Rai to stay with him and Mara while he tryed to get him into the magic school. Rai wondered why mister Talmier had done so much for him.

Rai was headed to the Masters Building at the very back of the campus. It was where the Teachers Chambers, Student Council, Infimary, and most importantly Head Masters Office were located. Mister Talmier said the Head Master was a very good friend of his and a very kind person aswell so Rai agreed when he said he wanted to explain Rai's situation to the head master. Rai sighed as he raised his hand to knock on the head masters door. "Come in Rai." came from behind the door and caused Rai to almost jump out of his skin but he slowly turned the knob and intered the room. The room was filled with books and weapons. Rai had seen a lot of weapons in his short life but this room had weapons even he didnt know. Swords, Spears, Bows, and these weird star things that looked like they were projectiles. "Take a seat Rai" The middle aged guy said with a smile that reminded him of mister Talmier. Like he was reading his thoughts he answered "Siaz is my younger brother. I am Domic Talmier." he said with another of those smiles that made it clear they really were brothers. The professor continued to talk "I didnt want to bother you on your arrival day but I just had to meet you after hearing your story." Rai swallowed hard and felt pressed wondering what this Talmier would think of him. Professor Talmier again answered like he was reading his mind "You are an amazing young man to hold on to that kind heart of yours even with all you have been through.....The heart is a precious thing that once its lost its hard to find again." He spoke the last line with a sadness like he was speaking from experience. Professor Talmier paused to let the comment set in then continued with a lighter tone "You may go check out your dorm now but I hope we can meet again and at that time you can join the conversation." He said it with a smile that said he didnt really mind though. Rai got up quietly and walked to the door but before he left he turned to the professor, gave him a small smile, bowed, and said "Thank you sir....for everything,"

Navi (Character Introduction)

Navi had finally arrived at school. He had been waiting for this ever since he could remember. The Maric Academy For the Magical Arts was the only real school for mage training in the nine realms. Navi was from the furthest realm to the north Adiel. The world was ruled by strong mages and there families. It had been that way for centuries and the Royalty and Nobility of the nine realms were the only ones to go to Maric. Also the rich and occaisonally powerful military families. The idea that power ruled everything had obsessed Navi's family for generations. Thats why Navi as one of the Nine Princes Of Adiel was happy to finally leave the kingdom and his hellish training behind. No matter how much of a genius his father and his magic teachers thought he was if he had to continue with the training he had suffered through since birth he would go insane. When he turned fifteen and was old enough to go to the Academy his father had just let him go, he even let him travel alone!

 He stared at the entrance arch and all of the bustling buildings beyond it. He starred so intently that he didn't even notice Gem walk up. Gem cast a small fire ball and chuncked it at his head much to the surprise of the other students around him. Navi instinctively created a small suppression barrier the perfect size and power to stop the fireball without waisting extra energy. Then he made a small ball of energy in his palm and aimed it at Gem. Gem looked at Navi and smiled his bigest welcoming smile. Navi smiled back at his old teacher who still had that bad habit of randomly checking his defense and reaction.. "You could have taken my head off Gem." Navi said jokingly. "Yeah right, you created a suppression barrier and an energy bolt in a fraction of a second without chanting. No waisted energy on either, thanks to my training might I add." Navi laughed and replied "You should see what else I can do with an energy bolt."

 Navi was glad his old teacher would be giving him his tour personaly. Gem had been the only fun person out of all of his magic trainers he had and Navi hadnt seen him in two years. Gem had always kept him grounded and stopped him from being a brainwashed political puppet of his fathers long enough that he could be a normal kid. To the left after entering the arch were six buildings in a line with alot of space inbetween each of them. Gem said they were all non-magic related subjects such as Engineering, Weaponry, Nine Realms History, The Study of Wildlife, Business, and of course Polotics. To the right of the arch was the Magical classes and Dorms. There was the Magical Combat Class, The Combat and Sports Grounds, Practical Magic Class, and then the multi-colored and styled dorms from all of the nine diffrent realms. But what most interested Navi was that down the center inbetween all of the classes and scool life was a small market town that seemed to sell everything from weapons to magic items to basic school supplies. Gem answered before he could even ask "Its called Cross Town and was made for the students to hang out in after class or durring free time." Gem lead him towards the dorms with out missing a conversational beat.

 "Has anybody explained to you about the schools group policy?" Navi anwered no and Gem continued "Well, the school puts students in groups of four usually based on room asighnment." Navi looked confused so Gem went on "Some students get there own rooms and are matched up diffrently." Navi interupted "What is the point of the groups?" Gem looked at him with the I will tell you the truth no matter what look "Well officially its to blend cultures and people as well as form an understanding of cooperation with others but for the students its a way of ranking your self and it is a form of intertainment for the students." Navi didnt realy like the idea of cooperating with people he didnt really know "So what can you tell me about my team then?" Gem had a look like there was something important on his mind but he didnt know how to say it "Your team is special...."

 "Special how?" "We try to keep team strengths even and balanced so that competitions are fair." "How do you determine that?" "The entrance exams everyone takes, we then match you based on your strengths and weaknesses on the test." Navi didnt know what that had to do with his team "So what makes my team diffrent?" Gem was very unclear with his answer "Your team has perfect balance." Navi's face had returned to the usual calm and cold composure that he had inherited from his father "Gem you are going to have to be more clear than that." "Ok how about I explain it this way. You know that you were ranked number one of all the students to take the test this year but you didnt know that you actually scored the best over all on the test in history." "Thats great Gem but it dosnt explain my group situation at all." They had stopped in front of what looked to be the oldest dorm on the campus. "You did the best over all but you were second in three subjects Regular Combat, Suport Magic, and Practicle Magic. Your team is composed of those three people and yourself."

 Navi didnt know how he should feel about that. On one hand he would have a strong group but on the other he hand to work with people who could beat him in certain areas. "How is that fair or balanced?" Gem looked concerned by that fact aswell "The head master made the choice but there scores on the other sections of the test were low enough that most of the professors accepted it." Navi thought about all of it for a second then asked "When can I meet them?" Gem had to think about that for a second or two "Kailin should already be upstairs and Lee was looking at the shops in cross town last time I saw him but Rai has a meeting with the head master right now so you might have to wait to meet him." Navi thought he might know someone named Kalin but he had never heard of the other two. "So this is my dorm then?" "Yes Sir, You will have two bedrooms, one bathroom and a living room with a built in kitchen to share between the four of you." With a sarcastic smile Navi said "This should be fun." then walked in the building.

So What Am I Up To? Who Knows?

So what am I up to? Well im in Tennessee.......Yep thats it.......Oh wait my brother Adam just got back in the U.S. and that is why we are in friggin Tennessee a few days before my first day of college. Now most people dont know but Adam is friggin insane. Example we are shopping for shoes and there are like 15 shoe stores in this mall. Adam wants some Tims or Timberlands as normal people call them. So we go into this store and I am like hey Adam what about these? Adam looks at me and goes "Kevin Bacon wasn't in Foot Loose." I am not sure what that had to do with shoe selections but it was important to him so we went on. Now I would like to say we just kept going untill we found the shoes then got the H*** out of there but no. We went to all 15 stores and Adam wasnt like hey I like this pair. Instead he just kept shakeing his head and saying "Nope Kevin Bacon was not in Foot Loose." He ended up getting a pair of Sketchers even though Kevin Bacon wasnt in Foot Loose he was in A Few Good Men. Also I ended up quoting A Few Good Men for the rest of the day. There is no way I am going to quote Foot Loose thats for D*** sure. I also got to meet his new room mates. I was only there for about an hour and I ended up geting two nick names niether of which I liked. Some how this group of geniuses got a piece of crystal stuck between the two windows and got it out with a metal spatula and two knives. At the end of the day we went to the best pizza joint I have ever been to call Old Chiago and my brother proceeded to drink a beer that smelled like blueberry muffins while my dad criticized.....Yep just a normal weekend with the family.

This is The New Guy saying........Im pretty sure Kevin Bacon was in Foot Loose.

The Theory Of Glasses And Tom Cruiseitude

So you are wondering what this title means. Well me to. You see my brother Jordan wears these aviators ALL THE TIME! That wouldnt be a big deal except he looks just like Tom Cruise from the movie Top Gun. At one point or another everybody wants to start calling him Maverick and obviously they think there Goose in that scenario. Thats fine and all but all the time people tell me how much we look alike and I thought it was just total bull crap untill a few days ago.........So what happend to cause this strange turn of events you ask? WHY a movie of course! What movie you ask? Risky Business. For those who dont know......which is almost everybody and I dont really expect my very small group of readers to be the exception. Its about this high school kid who cant score high enough on the SAT to get into his ivy leagues school choice for business because he is to stressed about doing well. Finnaly he says WTF and this leads him to throw a Kick A** party and get a high class call girl girlfriend who teaches him about real business. If You Know What I Mean ;). So what did this movie really teach me or make me realise? I do look like Jordan because we are both Tom Cruise but im Tom Cruise from Risky Business.(minus the supper hot call girl that makes the movie interesting) What do the glasses have to do with anything? WELL.....Oh I know! The classic smooth move with the wayfarers from Risky Business is my style completely.(I even wear the wayfarers) Though I dont like to run around in my underwear singing and sliding.(I do it naked of course!)

Gotta Love That American Dream! Cause In Our Own Way We Are All Tom Cruise...... Im jokeing cause if we were all Tom Cruise then who would star in the bad movies? This is the NOT naked, girlfriendless, and some how sane Tom Cruise saying WHAT THE F***!?

Long Theory Of Something Completely Unimportant To Life In General

I dont think I have mentioned my theory on the three diffrent types of people you fall in love with. Ok so one is a person you find to be amazing. They are perfect and they have there own dreams and aspirations. Usually this is the first love who you compare everyone else to. These relationships almost never work out because you have diffrent paths to take. There is of course the exception which leads me to to number two. Two is the classic best friend character who you can enjoy talking to about anything no matter how trivial. This is usually the college sweetheart who you spend every second you can with and who you think about when you can't. These relationships usually fail because they don't connect on the deeper levels. TYPE THREE. Three is the idea of a soulmate I guess(its kind of hard to say a soulmate has a type). This person understands you and shares the same intrests, they connect with you and support your goals as if they where there own......The reason I am mentioning  this boring and in noway funny theroy is because I was going to write a story about it at one point but I just remembered it. The story was going to be about a guy who meets a girl who fits each type and he has to choose which to persue. I know its not original but hey neither is anything else I have done. I could now go off on a rant about how nothing is original, talk more about the story I never actually wrote, tell you about my day(why would I do that now?), or I could just stop right in the middle of..........

Not Sure What To Say About That....

So what has happened to me in the last day or so worth talking about........Nothing at all! I did see the movie Sucker Punch and also the movie Assassination Of A High School President. Honestly they were both great but I dont want to talk about them cause it would ruin it for you (Well since I doubt anybody is actually reading this it dosnt really matter.)........COMIC-CON! Oh Yes my friend! Its awsome and im only mentioning it now because I saw the trailer to the show Torchwood Miracle Day and the movie Imortals. As my friends know I like greek mythology so the movie Imortals which is about Theseus should be friggin awsome. None of this is very important to you though is it? What do you want to talk about then? Life? Love? My lack of both a life and love? That wouldnt be very productive now would it. Alright, alright. Sometimes you can meet somebody and think WOW I have never met somebody who I could get along with this well. Sometimes they are friends that you can make for life. Other times there just the kind of person you could fall in love with...... Thats where the problem starts really. You see...... Love complicates things and as soon as you think that you could fall for someone...That makes it much harder to be just friends. What if there is no chance for you to be anything more than friends with them? Well thats just complicated and while relationships are complicated, Your feelings should be easy.

So im just a boy siting in front of a computer asking it why nobody loves me.(You totally didnt see that quote coming.) This is the New Guy saying "Back to you Jeff."(Who's Jeff?)
