Passing over the ruby draw bridge and through the diamond arch way the students enter the court yard, Ten times large then it looked from the outside and the towers stretching into the sky. In the center of the courtyard is a large sapphire blue fountain shooting water 200 feet in the air and it come crashing down into a large pool. In front of the fountain is a large platform, on it stands 3 figures, from left to right
First a large man built with muscles on top of muscles, short cropped brown hair wearing a loincloth and large bracers. His entire body is a network of scares making him all the more imposing. From the distance you can tell he is human over 6’ and over 250 lbs.
The second man in the middle was shorter and much leaner than the first long white hair almost a silver trailing halfway down his back, like the first man he also appeared to be in his mid to late 50s clear eyes and a noble regal look about him, he is far more the scholarly cut than the first man but still seems quite power and intimidating in his own right.
The last figure on the large stage sex was quite indeterminate; a six armed metal clad figure whose armor reflected like a mirror, from his head protrudes to large horns directly above glowing red multifaceted eyes, although much leaner than the first man he was far more intimidating.
As the group assembled the middleman began to speak "welcome students to the Ashara Academy, I am headmaster Acaelus Maelstorm, and I would like to welcome you all to the new semester” the headmaster said all of this with a smile on his face was eagerly scanning the crowd looking for those who would truly be Elite "to right this large quite opposing gentlemen is master of unarmed combat Busch Ronsen and to my left is the school weapons master Finrod Ar-Feiniel " the six armed man give a slight nod at his name before the headmaster continued "the three of us along with three other masters of the full time teaching staff this year however we do have a few others that will drop it in from time to time for special circumstances" the headmaster to allow this to sink in for all of the student's before he continued "before you settle into your room and have a good solid meal each of you a small test to see if you are worthy of this prestigious Academy behind you on the wall see in etching, each of these is represents a fundamental skill set the sword and shield for warriors the bow for archers the runic symbol for mages and so on his line up single file under the appropriate symbol"
Along with three symbols mentioned by the headmaster there is also the common symbol for a cut purse, the bloody knife representing an assassin, even a symbol of a book and writing quill to represent scholars.

Thay eyes the masters wearily, their power obvious in the way they stand. He mutters to himself quietly. 'What did i get myself into? Can their be any who can stand up to them?"
He scratches his hair, his nerves getting to him. When the masters call the students to line up, He lines up under the Bow and Arrow, his horse in tow once again.

Cecile still waiting on the person in front to point where everyone went hopes that they are not too far behind. Still in need of direction she gives whoever she is talking to one chance before she activates the ability to help.

" I should not, Father may not be pleased with my interference." D'fel replied with a bit of a confused tone. He did not want to get involved, but he could see the other students had already entered the school. That along with the fact that she could not see caused him to rethink. "Very well, I will chance disappointing Father rather than have you miss anything. Give me your hand."
Once the female held up her hand, D'fel took hold firmly and carefully pulled her up onto his horse with him. "Hold on, Sicorro does not ride like normal horses." he said before spurring the horse towards the school at a slow trot. He said nothing until they passed through the gate. He stopped off to the side away from the others and hoisted her from his horse's back. He pointed her towards the rest of the class," The others are straight ahead, less than fifty good paces. You should hurry ."
He glanced towards the teachers, making eye contact with Ronson before hanging his head in shame for interfering. He also slipped from Sicorro's back, and after a quick glance towards Busch again, took his work horse towards her stable berth. Besides Father and his friends, Sicorro was his best friend. " Father will be displeased with me for interfering with that student," he said to the horse as he stroked her neck gently as he led her from the side, " It would have been wrong to not help. She may not have sight, but she must still have ability if she has come here to train?" He glanced at the horse, even though he knew he would never get an answer. " come, we will see if I can find you some oats for being helpful."

Cecile realizes she has to go through a bit of two strange oddities. First being the hand that touches her and then being put on a horse. Something she never cared for as without sight they seem to have a mind of their own and putting ones complete self into a beasts hands is different then a humanoid. Still that is what is guiding her so she has faith.
Once put down, she turns to him, "Perhaps your father will overlook being kind. And perhaps you are here for a greater purpose. But be that as it may, I wish to thank-you for the assistant. I can use something to see once a day but does not last forever. That and I am told instead of being head strong and sometimes pigheaded when it comes to it, that I am to work on accepting help from others." With that she smiles and starts to head off to the rest of the classmates.

Tathiyanna had been hanging back through much of the trip up to the stronghold; not out of any sense of shyness or nervousness, but more to observe those whom she would be learning with. Curioisity was strong in the young elf, for this was the first time she had been away from her families estate, so far away.
When the order is made to line up in the appropriate place, the rather tall elf-girl smiles to herself, and begins to make her way over to the line for warriors (OOC: UNless there is a "paladiny" type of symbol, then she will line up there). Along the way, she offers pleasant greetings and smiles to those she crosses paths with, obviously quite the gregarious sort!

Falbera glances at the symbols that are etched in the walls. It doesn't take her but a moment to realize which one she needs to be lined up under, and quickly makes her way to the warrior line. Taking her place and waiting for further instructions from the teachers.

(OOC no "paladiny" symbol lol)
D'fel and other with mounts: a youngish man approaches to take your rides he is dressed in the school uniform.
Cecile: a female voice in your head tell you were to go to line up telling when to stop and turn so you don't run into anyone or any thing.
All:
After being organized into the new groups each group is led into a long hall for processing leaving all of their gear equipment and weapons behind to be picked up by some of the staff, once inside the large hall each of the students approaches a large desk with the scholarly type young person sitting behind it, there are simple questions; name, age, weapon, skills magic, special skills, place of birth, languages understood, and the like. The people at the desk seem to be students a few years older than the characters themselves and when they do not believe the students are listening they talk about the ringer the horrible terrifying test each is about to go through to gain admittance into the Academy.
(Characters could speak to others in their group or students behind the desk)

D'fel resisted when the man tried to take Sicorro by the bridle, but released when he was startled by a strange voice in his head (from pm). He looked around for the speaker, but did not recognize her voice. But instead of doing as she asked, he hesitated, looking at the instructors. " He couldn't help but say to himself," But Father has never said about joining the others. They will not accept me."

Ali decides to take it easy still and lines up. Whe she gets to the front to answer the questions she feels so she is right at the desk. "Good day, I am Cecile Songweaver, but everyone calls me Cee-Cee. I am 15 winters old and a song mage. I have a sword which I know not how to really use, and my walking staff. I do not know where I was born but can speak Elvish, Eastern and Fae. I can also write Elvish as well."
Once finished and allowed to leave she walks off to a corner and waits to see if any one approaches the "blind" student. She has experienced this in the past and specifically has not activated to see how others treat her.

Thay was skeptical about leaving his weapons behind but did not want to seem like a bad student so he left them with one of the staff. "Please take good care of it."
After making it to the front of the line, Thay answers all of the questions he can before he bows away and walks around the room slowly. When he notices the girl in the corner, he straitens himself and makes his way towards her. "Good day to you ma'lady. My name is Thay, well at least that is my nickname. May i inquire as to yours?"

Hearing the voice and even sensing the scent of one before Cecile turns to the person as best she can. "Good day. You may call me Cee-cee, as all my friends do although my name is actually Cecile and I am a song mage." She gives a polite smile unsure of who or what is in front of her assuming by both name and sound of voice however that it is a male. "Are you a student at this school at well?"

Thay smiles, his spirit liufting at seeing someone treat him with some kind of respect. "Well i am pleased to meet you Cee-Cee. I hope to be a student here, I am a Sniper, and a Scout. Tell me, what does a song mage do?"

"If you do not know then it is hard to explain but the easiest way is we can use music as a focal for us to do our magics. It is not the only way but our best way. And I am a student here as well too, although I am sure from the stories I have heard that if you had made it this far it would have been more then certain that you could join. But that is just the story I hear." Still smiling but not sure what to make of this person. He has either been extremely polite or did not notice the lack of sight. Tempted to do a test though she decides to leave it for the moment and maybe seek the test later.

"Well then, i hope to see your magic first hand some time." Thay shifts uneasily on his feet for second. "I don't mean to be rude but i was wondering if you needed help at all getting around? It's not that i pitty you or anything, it's just i noticed your condition and i wasn't sure if you would need a guide."
