The Light in the Dark

As I ventured deeper into Erebus, I felt an eerie atmosphere enveloping me. The air was heavy with the presence of souls and otherworldly beings, their essence swirling around me like a spectral mist.

Hiro, a young boy with a gentle demeanor, walked beside me, his steps filled with purpose and determination.

The landscape of Erebus was a surreal amalgamation of ethereal beauty and haunting desolation. Jagged cliffs stretched out into the distance, their shadows elongating as the sun dipped below the horizon.

The ground beneath our feet seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy, emanating a faint glow that illuminated the path. Even in the dull grade of the sun, this light was brighter somehow.

As we journeyed onward, me and Hiro encountered various beings that inhabited this realm. Some were benevolent spirits, their ethereal forms radiating a sense of peace and wisdom.

"Ahh yes, I think I have been here 2,357 years.. if I recall correctly. Once you too open your eye you will be able to precieve time." A younger looking man had said. His clothing looked as if it were from BC times. His hair was matted and his eyes bore of sadness.

They offered guidance and protection, whispering forgotten secrets of the afterlife.

However, not all encounters were as serene. Malevolent creatures lurked in the shadows, their eyes gleaming with malice. They hungered for the life force that me and Hiro possessed, seeking to extinguish the flickering flame of our existence.. or whatever it was we really possessed. But me and Hiro were not defenseless.

I possessed the gift of pyrokinesis after awhile I learned to bend it to my will, definitely was harder than I thought but I managed. Flames would be dancing at my fingertips, ready to be unleashed upon any who threatened me. Hiro, on the other hand, possessed the power of telekinesis. With a mere thought, objects would levitate and hurled. He also knew a couple chants of atleast what it seemed he would mumble, I would later learn why he knew them.

Our powers intertwined seamlessly, complementing one another as we fought our way through the dangers of Erebus. We had to rely on our wits, intuition, and and unyielding bond to navigate the treacherous terrain. Together, we were a force to be reckoned with.

Our ultimate destination was Shadespire Academy, a renowned institution within Erebus. It was a place where beings like ourselves could develop and refine their powers, honing their skills to maintain the delicate balance between the realms of the living and the dead.

Ihoped that within its hallowed halls, I would find the answers they sought and the strength to fulfill my purpose and also figure out more about my human life.

As Me and Hiro continued our journey, our determination burned like a beacon. We pressed on, undeterred by the perils that awaited them. With every step we took, we moved closer to our destiny, ready to embrace the challenges that lay ahead and forge our own path in the realm of the dead.

As we reached Shadespire Academy, my breath caught in my throat at the sight before me.

The colossal building loomed overhead, its grandeur spanning the horizon and seemingly blending with the distant mountains. It was a testament to the knowledge and power that resided within its walls.

The academy grounds were abuzz with activity, teeming with students from all walks of life. Some were engrossed in their studies, poring over ancient tomes and scrolls, while others practiced their magical arts, their incantations echoing through the air. The energy pulsated around us, vibrant and full of life, a stark contrast to the desolate aura of Erebus that I had grown accustomed to. This ground felt different, not just solid but as if the feelings of everything was pouring into it.

I watched in awe as students conjured magnificent spells, their gestures graceful and precise.

I could feel the power crackling in the air, the raw potential that each student possessed. It was a mesmerizing display of talent and dedication.

As Hiro and I made our way towards the front office, I couldn't tear my eyes away from the bustling scene.

The academy seemed like a haven, a sanctuary to the dark contrast that was Erebus. It was a place where we could find understanding and guidance. As I looked on most of the people here seemed to be in their mid- late teens. The black uniforms of shadespire made their face blend together.

"How could so many be so young" I thought to myself. This place was considered the land of the dead. Could there really be this many that have crossed over?

Nevertheless, I still admired the beauty of this place, I couldn't help but feel as though this were my destiny. To help be a guide from the other side.

The anticipation welled up within me as we approached the front office, eager to begin this new chapter of our lives. I could feel the weight of responsibility and the excitement of possibilities intertwining within my being. The challenges ahead would be great, but I was determined to embrace them.

As we stepped through the threshold of the front office, a surge of anticipation filled me. I was ready to immerse myself in the teachings of Shadespire Academy, to unlock the depths of my powers and shape my destiny.

With Hiro by my side, I knew we would navigate the intricacies of this mystical place together, supporting one another through every trial and triumph.

Shadespire Academy held the promise of enlightenment, growth, and the opportunity to forge lasting bonds. I took a deep breath, my heart brimming with hope, as we embarked on this extraordinary journey into the heart of magic and the unknown.

As I approached the front clerk, a lady in what I would assume mid 20s. Her hair in styled like she was from the 70s. Judging from her outfit I would say I was close.

" hello, my names mihara and.. I was hoping to register here." I said in a nervous tone. I had never really been one to carry on a conversation, even with hiro we barely talked along our journey here.

"Yeah, what about it hun? You think you can just Waltz up in here and poof your in?" She said as she let out a brief laugh. Her accent was a strange one. True we had come across a lot but this one was almost Italian.

"Why should you be allowed here, just cause you came from the outters? Everyone starts there so what?" She continued he face one of disgust and annoyance.

As I was about to confront her, hiro stepped foward. In my haste I had totally forgotten he was even with me. I had been caught up in glimmer of the academy.

"Ahh Mr. Yesen, it's always good to see you!" She said, her demeanor completely changing to one of excitement and joy.

" hey Mrs. Gale it's always good to see you too. " Hiro said smiling and doing a slight bow.

" Ahh shucks you don't have to do that headmaster, it's always an honor to be in the present of such a Devine presence." Gale said , winking at Hiro with a smile.

" wait hold on.. HEADMASTER!"
