In this room neither the history of the world nor that of the country is taught but rather the history of those gifted with special abilities. Text teach their history going back before the early days of ancient Greece. I am going to allow the teacher to post his or her own class room description so that they may add a bit of their own personality to the room. The Next post should be by the teacher of this class.

Headmaster Agar's history room was a simple yet enormous room with high grey stone walls that raised and went back with a stone roof that was supported by arches that wet back for a while in the rectangular room that was enchanted to be much larger than the actual room that was located on the top floor of the main building. Many desk sit in the room in rows that rounded off in an amphitheater style directed towards a large and heavy desk that sat in front of a large and long blackboard with a bit of chalk in the trey. Pictures of famous gifted through the ages hang on the walls while windows on two sides of the room look out on the court yard.

It hadn't been too hard to find that the history teacher was also the headmaster. She had walked to Headmaster Agar's classroom first, thinking to find him there. Politely, she knocked at the door before cracking it open to look inside. "Headmaster?" she said tenatively, "It's Narcissa... Aries saw you about me...?"

Agar walked up behind the girl who was blocking his way to his room. She must have been looking for him. Her dress was greek as well as her hair and the bow she wore on her back. It only took the headmaster a few moments to figure out which one she was, "Excuse me Narcissa but it would be nice to be able to get into my room. You might find it fruitful to you as well if I were in there. For if I am out here you can not talk to me in there now can you." Despite what people thought the headmaster preferred to walk from place to place rather than use his abilities. It was more of a matter of being humble and not showing off his power than not wanting to use them.

If she wasn't made of clay, she would be blushing. "I'm so sorry," she said repentantly, quickly moving out of the way by opening the door the rest of the way and slipping into the classroom. Narcissa tucked another one of her stray curls behind her ears in embarrassment. Little known to her, her face acted like it was blushing even though it was incapable of it. Her nose scrunched up slightly, and her eyes became half-closed.

Agar walked into the room, "That is quite alright child." He crossed the room and sat at his desk looking through a few papers that had been placed there for him to go over and eventually sign if they met his approval. He slid them to the side and looked up at the girl. A chair rose out of the wooden floor made of the same material, "Please take a seat, what is it you wish to discuss with me today?" He would be patient and wait for the girl to tell him rather than go through her mind to find out.

Shrugging slightly in unease, she took the seat he offered her. She spoke hesitantly, second guessing coming here, "Aries told me I was suppose to seek you out when I came here. He said he enrolled me, but that he didn't sign me up for any classes simply because he didn't know what I needed to take. Honestly, I'm not sure what I need to take either..." Narcissa felt like a rose among lillies, not surprising because of the fact she wasn't actually made of flesh, though she felt like she was.

"Oh I see. Well I can easily take care of that." Richard leaned back in his chair and pulled out a schedule form. So long as he signed it it was legitimate. He scrawled out all of the classes in a general order but left out the mystic arts, a quick look into her mind told him that she might not benefit well from the class. Especially because he didn't want to have to hear anything about giving the teacher yet another student, "Alright I gave you a basic core that most mortals study any way and then gave you battle training so that you can hone your archery. There is no telling when you might need it so I went ahead and assigned you potions and herbs as well. The teachers are pleasant enough though we are a tad short handed for now and some of these classes won't be starting till the positions are filled.." He handed the girl the schedule after signing it and smiled, "I personally can't wait to here your insight on some of our ancient greek gifted in my class. I'm afraid I don't know of them as well as you do. True I have met them on multiple occasions but I still don't truly know them."

Smiling in relief, she took her schedule gratefully. When he mentioned her upbringing, she admitted sheepishly, "Most of my scholarly lessons for the past couple of years have been the stories of the gods. Mother Artemis, of course, focused on teaching me archery, and Mother Selene wanted to be the emotional support..." Talking about Selene was always hard. The goddess of the moon loved a mortal man who she enchanted to sleep forever, despite the constant pain it brought her. She was the Virgin of the Moon, and fighting against what she was made life difficult for her. Shaking her head of those hurtful thoughts, she continued, "Mother Athena was the one who taught me, mostly, but she focused more on practicality and history lessons that were actually the other gods' stories than anything."

Richard listened to her as she spoke, "Well you will probably have it pretty easy during the first part of this class. We start with the first two gifted, Oranos and Gaia, and move through the Greeks to modern day. At first you will probably be bored, but who knows you may learn something." Richard had enjoyed his short talks with the Olympians when he had questions but he found them egotistical at times and rather annoying at others. They were all so narrow minded and only excepted their own point of view, but their history was intriguing.

As if sensing what he was thinking, she made a face. "It could always be worse," she told him flatly, "You could have to hear Narcissus go on and on about his own story..." As his bride-to-be until she made her pleas to Hera and Zeus, she had been stuck with the egotistical twit. While she was a feminine version of him physcially, that didn't change the fact that she was a completely different person inside. She disliked talking about herself, chosing to say it once and then never bring it up again.

Richard smiled, "That is right, you are Narcissus' bride to be. He is far more entertaining when someone manages to hide that mirror of his. At least that was what Haephestus told me one time. To tell you the truth I pity you. You're already doomed to be with that imbecile who doesn't deserve to be a gifted in any way shape or form. If I were you I would become very social and get to know people while I can, it might help you in the future to have a lot of friends at your side."

"I'm hoping that I get to leave him at the altar," she admitted. "Aphrodite hinted that if I found someone who loved me while I'm here in the mundane world, she'll tell Zeus flat out that either he turns me into a true mortal or she has Eros push him to another mortal and raise Hera's wrath again. She hates Narcissus as much as I do, and refused to have her son hit me with one of his arrows when he requested it." The goddess of love warned her how close she had come to being forced to love the vain man, and she shuddered at the memory. It was what had pressed her to tell Hera about how she wanted the chance to live like a mortal girl.

Agar listened to what the girl had to say and smiled, "Well then there is some hope. Don't worry about time. Between Aphrodite and myself you'll have all the time in the world. Just go out and enjoy the school. If you have any problems feel free to find me. I will help as best I can." He hoped that the girl would find someone here but he wasn't going to push her here. Narcissus was such a...narcissist it was pathetic. Then again the word did come from him.

She shrugged helplessly, admitting calmly, "I don't have very high hopes, anyway. I'm made of clay. Only a god could see past that, and the only one willing only does so because I look like a more feminine version of him. Thank you, Headmaster, for your kind words. I'll take you up on your offer if I need to." She sensed a dismissal in his words, but waited to see if that's what he meant before she did something she suspected to be rude in human standards.
