A sensation rippled over her body. It felt wrong, and yet wonderful at the same time. It felt like breathing underwater. She felt her body push and prepare to attack. The black aura surrounded her, towering over her teacher. She gasped and pulled back, the magic returning. Her heart raced and...

She observed his calm energy wishing hers would only obey. It lashed and was constantly trying to change directions. "I-I don't know... I-I don't feel anything." She replied hastily

"I-I don't know the spell. I didn't cast anything. It just happened." She said quickly as she returned, keeping her head low. Eyes still trailed to her, words still rang through her ears. Insane. Evil. Monster. She pushed the thoughts down, burying her hands in her pockets

She listened to his words, stopping for a moment before continuing back to where she started. Maybe this is why they called her heartless. She saw it as merely preventing future wounds. People can't hurt you if you push them away. It was easier to make enemies then friends. Keres really didn't...

"I know you're scared of me. Most are." She chuckled solemnly. "That's why they sent me here. They said I was just 'inexperienced' and needed to practice and learn. I know I'm in control. My magic is just simply... Evil." She said quietly, staring at the wall across from her. She pushed herself...

She sighed and eventually picked up the wand. Her eyes narrowed as she honed in on the target she flicked her wrist, and instead of a small energetic zap. A spiral of black and red magic shot out, striking the target dead center. The target burst into black flames, swirling as if it was angry...

"I'm fine." She said quietly, staring down at the ground. At the sound of her teachers voice, she raised her head. Keres shook it quickly and stepped back. She didn't want a wand and she sure of hell wasn't going to start using one of these dimpy little things.

She frowned at the wands. She never really had used one before, and really didn't see the purpose in doing so. Everything she could do, she did with her hands. Well not everything... The memories relapsed. Screaming, crying, death. Cries of mercy. Blood. Keres stumbled, her head felt foggy and...

Her hands tapped her desk anxiously. She did her best to pay attention, but even Mena was getting antsy. This was stuff she had already known about magic. She sighed and followed through with the work.

Keres remained quiet and flipped through the book she had been given. She went straight to the part that discussed darker magic. She began to read quickly with a frown. There were sections of the book that quoted other books she had read. She was quite a reader. Though many books criticized the...

She glared at him. "What else did you hear about me?" She frowned, crossing her arms over her chest. She waited until her name was called to go and receive her book before taking her seat once again.

She glanced at the girl before looking at her dog. "Mena." She said quietly, slowly getting out her books and other materials. Mena hesitantly stepped towards the strange girl, sniffing her hand, and looking at Keres for approval. She glanced at her dog and gave a small nod. From there Mena...

She merely nodded, standing in front of the door, pushing it open allowing him to enter a bit easier. She never really laughed anymore, or so much as even a short talk. Keres had learned to remain silent and disregard any emotion that dared to enter her. A rumor had actually been started in her...

She waited anxiously, jumping to her feet as her name was called. She balanced her items in her arms before excusing herself to the restroom. There she changed into the robes, yanking on the sleeve to hide her arm. Friends were hard to make when you weren't exactly human. Well maybe she was...

Keres stared down at the form anxiously, her hands felt clammy and her heart was racing. This was finally it. She was here. Her family had managed to scrape together enough money to finally get her enrolled in the college. She was a magic wielder, and a quite powerful one at that. Her mother...
