Welcome to Gaia! ::

The School Walls that surrounding the Arsen Building and Lawns and Garden. Two of the Orbs that keeps the school between the Mythic and Human worlds are housed here at the farthest Northern and Southern Points.

Walking around the grounds with Uri perched on her arm, Adamina pondered the way Dr. Lyles had left the library earlier. Something didn't feel right, but she couldn't put her finger on it. She was just opening her mouth to voice her concerns to Uri when she noticed someone inspecting the ground by the wall. "Dr. Lyles?"

"Situation?" the elf asked, a puzzled look on her face. She glanced at the ground where the other woman had been, then knelt down to take a closer look. "Have any of the students been out here?" she questioned as she stood back up, noticing the other phoenix. On her arm, Uri let out an annoyed hiss and Adamina poked him. "Uri, behave," she scolded him, repeating herself in elvish before looking at the principal again. "This is why you left the library in such a hurry, isn't it?"

Adamina nodded, agreeing with the assessment. It was odd, the way the ground was disturbed, and she frowned slightly as she watched Dr. Mallory summon the orb down to them. "The orbs are extremely powerful items," she noted out loud, stroking Uri's head to keep him calm. "It wouldn't surprise me if someone was after them, although I don't see how anyone without such power could get access to them."

Nodding, Adamina smiled and adjusted Uri, moving him up to her shoulder. She opened her mouth to accept the invitation when she head something just outside the wall and froze, tilting her head. Holding up one hand toward the principal, she shook her head. It was silent, but she still didn't feel right. "Uri," she said quietly, looking at her phoenix. "Maica." His white head nodded and he flew up into the air in the direction of her house. "Tea would be very appreciated," she said, a tight smile on her face.

Adamina barely had time to agree before the large creature landed in front of them. It was over ten feet tall and roughly resembled a clay man, but had no face. One arm swung at her and she leapt to the side, landing on her hip before getting up. "Golem," she got out, dodging another swing. A loud screech sounded over her head as Uri flew into the fray, dropping her sword to the ground a few feet beside her. Leaping forward for it, she snatched it up, rolling to the side as a large clay fist slammed down next to her.

"Where did it even come from?" she griped as she unsheathed her sword and ducked around behind the creature's back. Eyeing the thing, Adamina leapt up and swung at one arm of the golem, watching her blade bounce back without leaving a dent. She swore and jumped out of the way. "We can't let it get near the school! Is there a parchment in its mouth?"

Adamina nodded and sprinted around to the other side, drawing the creature's attention away from the other woman. "Uri," she yelled, signaling for the bird. Immediately, he swooped down and dove for the paper, pulling up at the last moment and dodging out of the way of a heavy arm. As soon as the golem's back faced her, she jumped up onto its back, wrapping one arm around its thick neck as she pulled herself up onto its head. Both of the golem's arms came rushing at her and she whistled, shrill and piercing, just before she was slammed into the wall. It was enough; Uri sped toward the gaping hole and snatched the paper with one claw before flying well out of the way as the creature began to fall apart.
