Endless Stairway |Jarod LaCroux|

[keladry]

The soft footsteps of Kel followed her as she began to walk the stairs up to Dallin Tower. She reminded her self all the way up, that she wouldn't fall. Heights we're her weakness, but she was brave enough, to fight that fear, to go to one of her favorite places in the school. Here is where she met her new sister Illusion. It also had a perfect view of the school grounds, a soft blanket of snow had claimed the school, that morning. It was a perfect wonderful scene.

Kel had hoped that she had brought her drawing tools. Going to her side, she lifted her bag off her shoulder, and set it carefully on the ground. Kneeling she started to go threw the bag, to find her sketch pad, it was burried, underneath her drawing book, and a few letters from her old foster family the Philips. Finally finding the pad of drawing paper, she stood up, pencil in hand, as she leaned on the cold stone window sill, sketching the winter scene in front of her.

The days have grown colder since Jarod arrived about a week ago. He was used to dropping temperatures though since he originated from France. Man did he miss home, but he couldn't complain about it. Everyone in this institute misses their home and family. Well Jarod really didn't miss his sisters that much, just picking on them and making life hell like always. =)

He has only met but a few people since he arrived. Two that remained in his mind more than others since he actually had a deep conversation with both down by the lake. He needed to find another place to explore though. Somewhere high above ground level. And surely he'd like to fly around the pitch to find a new place to explore, but for now, he'd leave that up to another day.

Instead, Jarod climbed up the towering spire that must've lead to an astronomy room. The many rooms he passed by were for practice, possibly dueling and classes, but he hoped not to be there any time soon. Each step he took felt longer than he wished it wouldn't be. But he didn't give up to climb to the top of that tower. No, his destination was right up there, and he would meet it.

Finally, after what felt like an hour, which wasn't, he made it to the top. Quietly breathing hard through his nostrils, his blue eyes looked around the room. He wasn't alone, but he couldn't expect to be with this castle full of hundreds of students. "Hullo," he said as he entered the room to break the silence. The girl looked busy already with what looked to be a sketch-pad and pencil. "I-I hope I'm not interrupting you. If I am, I could leave?"

Kel barely noticed the approaching footsteps let alone what the person had said, she was deep in thought, what shade of white the snow was. Which seemed like an endless battle, since it all looked the same. Cream, White, White Cream, the colors titles seemed like a stupid battle. Turning to her bag, and kneeling once more she placed them all back into her bag, she saw that she wasn't alone, pausing as she looked at him, she rose back to her original height. Kel attempted to remember if she had heard anyone approach, but maybe it was her newly dyed blonde hair, that made her forget anything. Illusion was right, brunet wasn't her color, but she was beginning to think that her original hair color would have done fine.

Shaking the stupid thoughts out of her head, banishing the fact of which was better, blonde or brunet. Returning her attention to the fellow student that had also found a place to go here in Dallin Tower. Finally remembering hearing a voice, that had asked if he was bothering her, she desided that would do, and answer that question first. "Oh, no your not bothering me one bit. Even if you we're, your in your rights to be here, as much as I am. I don't own the school." she told him. As she placed her sketch pad back into her bag. Glancing back at him, she spoke once more. "Keladry Elliot, 1st year Mihael." Kel told him.
