The Great Hall

"I need to find something to eat...now." My fangs poke over my lower lip, I curse and keep moving. Just in case I needed to leave quickly, I unfurled my icy wings and kept them folded as I walked.

Even with all my emotional training, I could help but let out an audible show of surprise. It wasn't much more than a whisper from a mouse, but given how little I spoke, it was a shout.

My godlike hearing proved useful a lot of the time. Like alerting me to a shadow I apparently had just now! I turn around, my eyes cautious
"What're you doing?" I ask, my tone slightly angry

"I will be the one posing the questions." I tell him with a air of authority, like a general presiding over civilians.

I suck in harsh air but breathe slowly. Remember Leon, going for peaceful resolve here. I sigh
"Alright, what is it you wan to know?"

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He didn't make it into the extensive research I did on the student and faculty body that I conducted prior to coming here. He was a new face, one I didn't trust.

I sigh heavil
"I give you my complete honesty when I say I mean NO ONE any harm." then intell him briefly who I am
"My name is Leon, I'm from Romania, I'm over a million centuries old even though I look 20. I'm a vampiric God and I was in London to help move winter and make room for early spring."

"That's quite a story." But the look on my face showed I didn't fully believe him.

My wings immediately grow Titan size with various shards of ice protruding from their tips. My eyes also flared white as the pupils seized vertical
"Do I have to prove it?"

"I've been around this world... but I've never heard word of gods."

"In my true form, I could crush this place with my foot alone." my wings size down and my eyes return to normal
"My entire family are all gods and goddesses. But if you don't believe me that's fine. Your ignorance."

"I see no motive you have for deceiving me as of yet." I pocket my wand.

I shrug
"Well, are you done? I'd hate to have my dad take his anger out on you because I'm late reporting in."

"Reporting in. So your family runs like an operation too."

I nod
"Yeah, my mom and dad are in charge of it all. My dad is the god of darkness and my mom is the goddess of light; the two main elements of this world."

"I'll have you know there are to be no dark influences here."

"Influences ? I'm not here to influence anything!" ice shoots up a nearby wall, I breathe in again
"My dad isn't evil, it's just his element. Do you want to talk to my parents if your so worried?"

I watch the wall, taking in the information that he probably controls ice on some level. The extent of this level remains unknown but given his advanced age, it could be reasoned that it's considerable.

"Very well. I am Crest Strayer, fiance of Sam Nuel, third brother of the Prodigy Trio."

"Prodigy trio? Hm, guess I'm not the only one then..." hearing that word dangerously reminded me of who I was, and I didn't feel that great.

HearIng his full name makes me stop
"Wait...YOUR Crest? The guy whose marrying my friend I've known for three years?"

I nod my head.

My expression turns somber
"Well I suppose I should leave before Sam sees me."

"And why is that?"My previously fading suspicions were beginning to gain new momentum.

"I don't think she'll have time to remember me. Besides..." I hold my hand up, blackness corroding some of my skin, but it quickly fades. "I don't think she wants to see someone whose cursed."

"You'd be surprised who she wants to see."I was of course referring to myself, she was so gentle that I felt like a monster by compare.
