House Sorting

Everyone present placed close attention on the director's words as he talked a bit about the house, and where their names came from but he didn't really get into much detail as that would be more detailed in the class of history.

"In the history of Valhalla School for Wizards, there have always been 4 houses in which each student is sorted and shall be in for the rest of their school life. Each house has its own emblem and name." Director Orin said.

Abbadon became really curious and listened really well to every word of the director trying to not miss any detail about the houses.

Abbadon was able to understand some parts of each house and those were:

The house of Dolphinara. Its name is based on the creator's best friend a dolphin the flag of the house is composed of dark blue and its symbol is represented by a dolphin.

The house of Owlethorne. Its name is based on the creator's last name, Owlinos. Its colors are yellow while the symbol of the house is based on an Owl.

The House of Lupus. Its name was based on the creator mainly on the fact that he was a werewolf. The house flag is composed of red its symbol represented by a wolf.

The house of Volpestra. Its name was based on the nickname that was given to the creator of the house. He was called "The Green Fox". Thus the colors of the house were green and its symbol was represented by a Fox.

The sorting of houses had officially begun as Professor Matilda began calling students by their names.

The student who was called had to hold onto a crystal clear orb and as soon as the suddenly touched it it would create a cloud of some inside of it and after careful analysis, it would select the house best suited for the student.

Most of teh students had already passed the only one who remained was none other than Abbadon himself. 

"Abbadon Riddelblade, please come forward." Professor Matilda said.

Whispers among all of the students began as they heard the last name of Abbadon. Many were whispers of amusement while some others were of fear. Abbadon stepped forward and placed his hands in the crystal clear sphere.

As soon as he came in contact with the sphere Abbadon felt as if he was being pulled inside the sphere. He closed his eyes while his mind entered a different space.

As he opened his eyes he found himself inside a white room with nothingness inside it. He felt weird but couldn't place into words how he felt.

A mystical voice boomed inside the white room. "Abbadon Riddblade! Youre quite the curious fellow. You love your family so much that you'll do anything so nothing bad happens to them... Hm..."

The mystical voice disappeared. Abbadon was extremely confused. "Hello? Who was that?"

"Hmm... Choosing a house for you is rather hard... You are a perfect fit for two of them... Tell me boy which house would you like to be in." The mystical voice said.

"I-I don't know..."

"Tch! Youre not helping boy!" The mystical voice said with an annoyed tone.

Silence!

The mystical voice didn't even bother to say anything. After a few more seconds of silence, the mystical voice gasped.

"AHA! That's it!"

BAM!

Abbadon was brought back to reality. As he looked at the sphere he realized that the sphere was now green-colored meaning that Abbadon had been chosen to be in The House of Volpestra.

Orin who was watching from a certain distance faintly smiled... "Just like his parents. The divine orb pulled him into its own mind and had a talk with it..."

As Abbadon walked and sat beside his house members Orin snapped his fingers.

Food had now appeared in every table. "Let the welcoming feast begin!" Orin shouted with joy.

Abbnadon grabbed some of the delicious-looking food as he began presenting to a boy with black raven hair and purple eyes to his right.

"I'm Abbadon Riddblade, a pleasure to meet you!"

The boy with a purple-eyed boy raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Arte you talking to me?" He said.

"Well of course I am!" Abbadon said.

"Oh! I'm Wally Yellowshield, a pleasure to meet you Abbadon."

Both of them didn't utter another word as they were more focused on the food in front of them.

They began devouring the food. Abbadon did it the most polite way possible while Wally just ate like an animal that hadn't eaten food in several days.

After they finished eating a large portion of the food they finally talked to each other. Abbadon was the first one to talk. "So Wally what does youre father work in?"

Wally raised his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean what does he work in? Have you not heard my last name?"

Abbadon shook his head.

Wally became more confused. "How is it that you don't know of my last name when youre a Riddleblade? Wait! what's your father's name?"

"Oh, my father's name is Lucas Fenrir Riddleblade."

"So that's what it is... That makes sense." Wally muttered to himself. 

"Did you say something?" Abbadon  asked confused by the sudden change in Wally's expression.

"No, I didn't say anything."

The feats had already finished. All of the first years were currently guided by a senior so they could get to their respective common room, a room that only those in that house could enter.

As Abbadon walked through the large stairs he finally arrived with one of the seniors at the common room's door.

The senior looked at Abbadon and said. "You are already registered into the house of Volpestra so you just have to stand near the door and it will open itself for you."

The door slowly opened itself and Abbadon was able to see the common room of Volpestra. The vibe inside the room was rather cozy as a small fire was set near the chimney.

Many students were chatting with each other. There were a few frames that had moving pictures of what seemed to be knights, farmers, and even a Viking.

The room had many tables where students sat alongside some comfortable couches around the fire.

"This is quite nice right?" The senior said.

"If you have any questions feel free to ask me after all that's my job as youre senior."

Abbadon nodded with a smile. Abbadon didn't pay much attention to the senior's words as he was focused on the moving frames and the sudden appearance of a semi-translucent human.

"A ghost!" Abbadon whispered to himself.

The senior looked back as he was about to leave. "Did you say something?" 

Abbadon shook his head and returned his glance at the ghost but to his surprise, the ghost was no longer there. Abbadon then walked to the boys' section, each section was separated from each year so it was Boys and girls and then the first year, second year, third year, fourth year, and fifth years.

Abbadon entered the first-year section and found various beds but he particularly went to a bed with all of his belongings above it. Abbadon grabbed his belongings and began organizing  his clothes as he placed them in a drawer beside his bed.

After looking outside he realized it was already night time, looking at the dark sky he began to wonder how would his life inside the school would be. Would it be a fun school time or would he suffer from bad grades? He began to think of many possibilities but then he discarded all as he began thinking of his family, this calmed him down.

With a deep sigh, Abbadon made his way to his bed where he entered the realm of dreams, letting whatever tomorrow held for him escape from his mind.
