Welcome to Gaia! ::

The castle, where beginner classes go to advance to the class that they want to be. It's majestic walls are always being patrolled by guards. The entire castle is warded by magic so that no strong monsters can attack, however, weaker monsters occasionally attack in large numbers. A perfect place for new players to get used to the game. The teachers here all are well known for their combat prowess.

Erika slowly and quietly entered the academy. She glanced at the surroundings, marking everything she needed to pay attention to. She didn't care about the size, or how marvelous it was. She figured she wouldn't be here very long, they had found her late in her own eyes. She had been called a thief most of her life, and she was the best where she came from. While she was Demi-dragon, she had anything that might reveal her as such covered...other than the unusual colored hair and eyes. She glanced over at the only other in the area, but ignored him, instead leaning against the wall and sitting there, thinking.

Erika starts walking down the hall, wondering where the rogue teacher was. "This place...is empty. They must be pathetic at getting people...or maybe i just came earlier than i thought..."

Erika looked back at Aerica. She looked entirely unsurprised, people had always snuck up on her. "Scout my a**... I'm probably good enough to be a thief as is, but whatever. If you would, please tell no one I'm a demi-dragon... I've received to much crap about that in my life." She paused a moment then bowed. "Sorry, should be a bit better to my...teacher. I'll head to the courtyard immediately." She started walking to the courtyard then.

While Martialis was looking around for a friend, he spotted Eva on the roof of the Academy. For a while he stared, wondering how she got up there. He waved both his hands at her and called out, trying to get her attention.

Aerica chucked. "Aye, the young 'uns all have their pasts. Well its not for me to judge. I was like that as well, when I was a wee lass like her..then again, my life tain't over yet!" She said to herself as she briskly headed towards the courtyard, where the Headmaster was about to make his speech.

The crowd of people in the courtyard was astonishing to see. There were people from all corners of the world, all species and all of them wanting to learn how to fight. Davith Pert, standing on a platform with a magical microphone, cleared his throat and spoke to the new recruits.

"Hello Everyone, my name is David Perth I am the. I am speaking in place of your new headmaster because he is currently on a journey to the Great castle Aventgarde. You all came here, hoping to learn how to fight back against the evil magics of the Black Tower. Hoping to learn how to protect your love ones, or even simply to become stronger as an individual. No matter what your motive was to come here, you are all now brothers and sisters in the pursuit of the perfection of your skills." He said, his voice being amplified by the magical microphone so that everyone could hear. He gestured to all the teachers who were standing to the left and right of him.

"These are your teachers they will guide you on your path. I will be the teacher for all the combat-based students. Minwen Mil'al here will be the teacher for all the magic-based students. Eric Garland will be the teacher for all the divine-based students, and Aerica Topapple will teach the rogue-based students. It is now time for your first class, so everyone follow your teacher he or she will take you to your classroom" Before he even mentioned Aerica, she was already in her spot next to him as if she was there the whole time. Now that his speech was over she headed to her classroom, eager to finally be able to teach the art that she loved so much.
