We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

A trail of feathers.(Amber)
It was stiil early in the morning. and anyone who walked into the auditorium would think it was empty. But if someone were to truly look around the would, they see the angel sitting in the rafters of the stage. The only thing giving off a clue that the angel was there was a few feathers scattered around the room.
Gabriel had been practicing flying in one of the few places he could inside of school. He was also in hear because it was the best way to avoid contact with the people from the previous night. He had been enjoying himself when he heard what sounded like footsteps making there way towards the very same room he was in.
Quickly Gabriel fly into the rafters, a place where he could see and not be seen easily. 'Whoever you are just stay away from me' he thought. He was still somewhat upset from the night before and he wasn't sure if the person coming would be as hostile to him as those people had been the previous night.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
The bursting doors echoed through the auditorium, followed by the clacking of heels before they became muted by the carpet. A soft rustling of a dress and a soft cry of pain. From the rafter's it was plain to see what was going on.
Kneeling on the floor was a copper blond girl with small white wings and in a dark one-piece dress flowing around her; the girl from the hallway! Her left wing was bloody (but who's blood one could wonder) and the right sleeve of her dress was crimson red. There was cuts along her arm and a couple of gashes on her thigh, slashing the stocking. The Tai Chi sword resting next to her was spotted with unknown blood.
Amber crossed her arms over her chest and bowed her head. Her shoulders began to shake as she tried to hold back her tears. Her dark eyes glanced over at her sword, angelic blood trickling down the steel blade. A close call, a close escape.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel's eyes stay focused on the girl as she barged into the auditorium. His instinctive nature to care took over, wheter she was hostile or not, Gabriel was determined to help. He stood up from the rafters, getting a good stance before leaping and flying do to the girl.
"Oh my! What happened?!" He asked as he flew down. "Aryou in a good enough condition to speak?" From the sight of it, she had lost a lot of blood, the fact that it might be someone elses didnt even cross his mind. "Look, I know you dont trust me, but I want to help!"
He said, landing and walking cautiously towards the girl, the last thing he needed was for her to snap and attack him.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
The winged girl's senses were sharp as any knife, she had even heard the flutter of wings other than her own, her hand snapped up the sword. She scrambled to her feet, pointing the sword at what she thought was her attacker. Just about as bad, it was another angel; the one with a clean aura and just as soothing of a voice.
Maybe it was because of her being, or conditioning from the years of being hunted down: his soothing voice wasn't enough to calm the bleeding half-angel. He landed and her dark eyes became sharp, rounding out her soft ruffles and delicate lace.
"You...you again!" She said, backing away from him slowly. It was easy to tell she was in no condition to fight much. The sword trmbled in her hand was if it was too heavy to carry for long. The pain in her wing was much worse, she wanted to scream but every ounce of her being wouldn't let her.
"One of your own...he's out there...it's all your fault..." Amber dropped to her knees again, supporting herself only by grabbing the edge of the stage.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
"Look, I'm not here to harm you!" He said, getting closer to her. His eyes never leaving contact with her, he felt bad for her. She seemed to troubled, and she was definately in no condition to be fighting or even arguing for that matter.
He was too focused on trying to figure out how to help her that he second statement was not heard. As she dropped to her knees he rushed to her side, all he wanted to do was help.
"Look, I'm not going to harm you!" His voice was a bit shaky, this girl was unpredictable. He didn't mind if she attacked him, he would only be temporarily hurt. What he was afraid of was letting what appeared to be an angel but he was sure was human, die.
"Look, wheter you trust me or not, we need to get you taken care of!" He stood up and offered his hand, its all he could do. He stayed there, watching her.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
He had offered his hand out to her and Amber could only stare at him. What was he doing? Was he just hiding behind a facade of kindness before he finding the opportunity to strike her? It had happened before, it could happen again. She narrowed her eyes at him, his motives was what puzzled her.
"Why are you bothering to help me?"
She scooted back away from him. All the while, she let her sword drop to the floor, but pulled the pendulum from the handle. Her arm may not be able to support her sword right now, but Djibril can. She clutched the crystal quick in her palm, her draping white sleeve was long enough to conceal her hand...just in case.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)"Why are you bothering to help me?"
"Why aren't you allowing me to help you?" He answered quickly. This girl was in no condition to me argueing or fighting. All he wanted to do was help, it was in his blood. All he ever did in life was help, but he wasn't about to tell her that.
"How can I believe you?"
"Why don't you believe me?" He asked as he sat down next to her. He was taking a risk in doing so, but he wasn't sure how to prove he wasn't going to try anything funny. There was a deep pain within him, the first and last time he saw that much blood was when his mother died, he was about to break again when that same clarity cleared his head. He couldn't seem weak against someone who has acting hostile.
"Look, just let me help you. I heard theres a healer's ward, I'll take you there and if you want, I promise that when your healed I'll leave you alone!" His eyes were fixed on hers, he was determined to have her healed, he never liked to allow someone to stay troubled when he could do something.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
"We can't leave!" Amber said, quick and insistant. How she would love to go to the Healer and rest now. There was just one problem, and it truly seemed that the angel before her had no idea what was going on or why she had been cornered here. Both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time.
Amber sighed to herself, there was only one thing she could do right now. As crazy and risky as it was, she would trust this angel and hope it was not a set up. The bells were tolling, she could hear it in the distance. There was time!
"Okay...I can't explain now, but please heal me as quick as you can."
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel was shocked by the girl's sudden outburst. He had no idea what was going on, how did she know that he could heal wounds? It suddenly didn't matter, she could explain everything and she seemed to finally trust him.
"All right...I'll try, but I have been rarely able to heal others!" He said as he grabbed hold of the girl and wrapped his wings around both of them. He closed his eyes and focused the way he focused when his mother was hurt. If this didn't workm he wasn't sure what would happen next.
"Work...work...work...work." He quietly chanted as he focused, his eyes staying shut the whole time. Then suddenly he felt a numb sensation throught his entire body, it was the same one that he felt when his mother was healed. He wanted to open his eyes, but he kept them closed and kept chanting.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
It puzzled her that the angel seemed to shocked for that moment. Most of the lower angels have a healing property; whether it was used for themselves or for others was an issue of personal choice. When he grabbed hold of her, she wanted to reel back. It wasnt more of that it hurt but that she was sure he could simply rip her wing off.
Amber shut her eyes and waited. Instead of pain, a oscillating pulse of cool-to-warm sensation showered her body. A nostalgic feeling, the winged girl was positive that she had felt such a sensation before...As the process of healing began, the bells began to toll louder as it neared the auditorium. Maybe it had become a beacon seeing that it was an angel who was healing her!
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel continued to focus, she seemed in a rush to be healed. Then suddenly, the sensation started to fade. After the sensation had faded away completely, Gabriel unwrapped his wings and stood up. He looked at the girl and smile, it worked, her wounds were healed.
"Wow, it actually worked!" He said letting out a joyous laugh for the first time since his mother was alive. He didn't think it would totally work but it sure did, he was certain that if he practiced more he could do it faster.
"Now whats going on exactly?"
He asked her as he stretched and spread his wings to their full amount and stared at the girl blankly. Was she still going to be hostile towards him? Maybe she finally realized that he wasn't a mean person and that she shouldn't fear him.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
The moment his wings unwrapped from around her body, and while he celebrated his sucess, Amber inspected herself. No cuts, the pain in her wing subsided and any outstanding wounds had vanished. Blood still stained her shoulder, darkened her black jumper-dress, and there were still rips on her sleeves and her thigh-high stockings where cuts had once been. Incredible, she couldn't help but to think that!
"Now whats going on exactly?"
Amber's head whirled around towards the door. The bells were only muted by the metal doors, too close for comfort. She stood up and grabbed her sword. Without another word, the girl made leaped up into the rafters, trying to make herself small in the shadows.
It was just in the nick of time for her as a section of the stage rippled like water. Rising from from the once solid stage was a fair-skinned young lady with a pair of brilliant white wings. Her eyes glimmered like emeralds and her red hair shimmered like glazed fire. Her appearence was that of a student, save for wounds and blood that stained her clothes. Her eyes settled on Gabriel and the pretty emerald eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah, Gabriel is it? You don't seem to be hurt, thank our Lord. Tell me, had a..." She paused and shivered as if she had stepped into a cold spot. "Nephilim girl crossed paths with you at all?"
Just like Amber, the angel gave little-to-no explaination of what was going on. However, from the blood on both girls, it seemed it was something serious...
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel watched as the girl leaped into the rafters and as the angek emerged from the stage. 'Another angel? They both have blood, whats going on here?' Gabriel stared at the angel for a while with no response.
He was thinking of everything that had just occured, the girl running in wounded and covered in blood, her being terrified of angels, and then an angel suddenly emerging. Gabriel knew it would be best to keep his mouth shut, he knew the angel was obviously talking about that strange girl.
"I'm sorry, but whats a Nephilim? I havent been blessed with the knowledge other angels have been. I only know of the things my mother taught me." He knew the angel would probably hate him for not being equal, but it wasn't his fault so he didn't care.
"Also, sorry, my name is indeed Gabriel. Who are you?" He asked her, by looking into his eyes anyone could tell there were so many questions he wanted to ask.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
"Lumiel you may call me, little one."
The angel flashed him a brilliant smile, leaping off the stage and landing exactly where Amber had stood. Keen emerald eyes spotted blood on the ground, something even an angel's healing couldn't erase. It could be anything or it could simply mean that the target had actually came in here. However, Gabriel claimed that had no idea.
"Oh," she spotted purity and curiousity in his eyes. "You do not know. This particular being looks like an angel, but she's an offspring of a human and an angel. I can't disclose anymore to you other than that I need to find this girl."
A pair of daggars appeared in her hands as she spoke, beautifully crafted ones with Latin branded into the golden handles. Her peircing green stared into Gabriel's.
"She's very dangerous."
Meanwhile Amber peeked down at the two angels. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew it had to do with her. Slipping a hand into her left sleeve, she pulled out a small bottle of silvery liquid. Amber had not wanted to do this, but it was either to risk herself and her family, or do what she had to do. She had to carefully open the bottle and tip it, letting a single drop of liquid fall directly onto the girl's head. That was all that she would need...
Maybe Gabriel saw the drop fall into her hair, but the female angel felt nothing.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
"It's very nice to meet another angel." Gabriel said smiling. The angel did nothing but listen and nod the whole time. The last thing Gabriel wanted to do was have to lie to another angel. He did want to ask some questions though.
"Why do you need to find her and whats dangerous about her?"
It was at that moment gabriel noticed the drop fall from the rafters. He had no idea what it would do, all he knew was that angels protected humans, they didn't harm them. So kept his mouth shut about the drop and the girl in the rafters.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
The angel bit her lip, contemplating what she could and could not say. Time was running out before she could report back to Heaven. It would be best if she could track her down.
"The superiors won't let me say more about her Gabriel. She's a very dangerous girl, capable of great sin. She doesn't look like a threat, but please trust me. If you see her, let me know immediately."
Maybe Lumiel was correct. In the rafters, Amber steadied herself as she stood up and tried not to make a sound. She was in the perfect range of the female angel's head. She held out her sword, the blade pointing downwards. Maybe Gabriel caught a glint of the holy Tai Chi sword coming from the rafters.
The next moments were so quick that Lumiel would never see it coming. With such grace, Amber leaped from the rafters and spread her white wings to slow her fall. Even if Gabriel were to warn her, it would be too late as the nephilim descends, the blade catching the reflection of the angel's head.
CRACK!
A sickening sound of a blade stabbing into bone and a thick squish. The angel's face froze in an expression of surprise and tears of blood rolled down her cheeks. Floating above her was Amber, an blank expression on her face and in her hand was the sword half-buried into the top of the girl's head. The neflet dared not to look at Gabriel right now, this was a matter of her own safety as well as her family's.
Amber pulled the sword from Lumiel's head and the angel's prone body dropped to the ground. Blood and fragments of her skull oozed from the top of her head. How strange that the gothic angel's expression had not changed at all as she looked down at the body.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel just stood there in shock trying to recollect exactly what had just happened before him. One moment the angel was talking to him the next she was on the ground with a hole in her skull.
His fingers twitched as he stood still in deep thought, once he finally he came out of his shocked state he turned to Amber and shouted. "You killed her! I understand she was after you, but you didn't have to kill her!"
He began backing away from the girl, the fear that had filled her when they first met now filled him. As he tried backing away from the girl, he tripped over his own feet. The only thing on his mind was getting away from this girl before she tried killing the only witness.

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Amber's dark eyes stared down at the body, ignoring Gabriel's voice. It must've taken effect by now, she thought to herself. The winged girl kneeled down and she said a gentle prayer in Latin.
"Domine, exaudi orationem meam.
Et clamor meus ad te veniat.
Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo...Amen."
The angel's body began to glow with the brightest of light and she dissolved into fine white dust. The dust swirled up into the air, accompanied by the ringing of miniature bells, vanished from sight. Amber stared until every sparkle of the dust disappeared. Not a trace of blood or body left behind; the angel had a holy death. She would appear in Heaven devoid of the memory of her death and her purpose for being on Earth.
Safe for now.
Finally, Amber looked up at Gabriel with those dark eyes with mixture of sadness and worry. He had seen a terrible side of her and was the only witness. However she had no heart to kill him, she barely had enough to kill Lumiel! A dense silence between the two, one full blooded angel and the half-angel with crimson staining her dress. What was there to say?
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel stayed there on the floor in more shock, he had no words left to say at all. He was no in complete shock, the girl had gotten rid of the evidence and when she looked at him he was sure she would now try to get rid of the witness.
"Ju-just dont touch me!" He said, flying up to the rafters and hiding. He figured she was probably faster onfoot than in air. "I promise I won't tell anyone.... ju-just don't kill me!"
His voice was shaking with fear. He didn't want to face the girl, he just stood in the darkness, covered by his wings and leaning against a support beam. "Y-Y-You didnt have to kill her!"

Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Amber made no sudden movements as the angel hopped up on the rafters, hiding in the same shadows that she had. It was the emotion in his voice or his reaction to her; one of those gestures made her heart feel heavy. He was frightened of her, why wouldn't he be? After what she had done she couldn't blame him for running away.
Will others do that to me too...when they see that darkness in me?
She bowed her head, the tears would not be seen from above but there would be traces of them left on the floor. For a moment there was a lonely silence, maybe gentle sobs at their quietest.
"I had to..." said her wavering voice echoed, meant for the frightened being in the rafters. Amber didn't have to tell him her reasons for doing what she did. "She's back in Heaven and won't remember this. I have no reason to kill you...so just don't say anything."
It was probably no use, he may just tell either way. He had no alliance to anyone but God...all angels did. The girl picked up her sword again, slipping the now clean blade into its sheath and started heading towards the door.
Re: A trail of feathers.(Amber)
Gabriel could hear the sadness in the girl's voice and it hit him hard. Not only had he scared her before, but now he had made her sad. Gabriel thought about it for a while, maybe God was punishing him for scaring her before.
"She's back in Heaven and won't remember this. I have no reason to kill you...so just don't say anything."
Thats when it really hit him, she could have let her die, but she sent her back to heaven. Gabriel wanted to bang his head against the support beam over and over again when he saw that the girl was preparing to leave. He couldn't let her leave, yeah he was scared of her but he thought it must have been God's work to show him the fear she had felt.
If she was listening she would hear the flutter of his wings as he made his way down from the rafters. As he landed in front of her he tried to set his hands on her shoulders.
"I apologize for my behavior, but you do have to understand...." He gave her a smile, anyone else probably wouldn't have been able to come near her after what they had seen but with what he thought, he was sure it should be this way. He finished, giving her a comforting tone as he spoke. "Its very scary to see something like that for the first time."
He walked away for a moment and turned to her. He gave her yet another smile and paced back to her. "It's only right for me to become as freightened as you were! It helps me understand how you felt."
Gabriel offered his hand to her, she said she could explain things but that wasn't why he was being so nice to her. He was being nice because he understood and that angel had said she was half angel. Suddenly Gabriel blushed and laughed, he had forgotten to do something earlier.
"Wow, pardon me for being so rude! My name is Gabriel Edwards, and may I have your name?"
