Pravus Academy (Started/Accepting) (PG13)

"It has not been that easy. Ezekiel has arrived from his journeys in the Human Realm to find the Oracle he has been looking for," Isaac said, "I've been moving with Kris for a while now, so I will most likely be going to the school eventually. So, do you have a roommate yet?"

 

Isaac stepped into the lake for a moment and pulled up some clay. He crushed it in his hand a pulled some powder out of a bag on his belt. It was a light greenish color. Isaac shaped it into a ball and threw it in the air. He shot a small flame up at the clay, and it exploded in a fiery burst before falling into the lake. "An experiment I've been working on. It's an exploding powder."

[Jake the Sage]

As Akima drifted off into his own little dream land Jacob frowned, watching the person he was about to help just loft off as if nothing was the matter. Though he should have known better, after all he had forgotten everything too until he was reminded, and Jacob knew the truth had to be told. Trotting over to Akima he lightly hit his head, just enough to catch his attention, and then walked a bit farther, "Actualyl Akima I had forgotten. My memory was whipped clean like yours as well. But . . . there is something you need to know about me, I have a certain way that my . . . ummm . . . memories were restored and they aren't good ones."

 

Looking back over his shoulder Jacob knew the next few things he was going to have to explain would be difficult to beleive for Akima. Yet the truth was the only thing he had left to hide and if it would reveal what had happened the other day then he had no choice but to reveal his most precious secret.

Jared got bored with trying to help Lyon and wandered off to the Newspaper room to see if any jobs needed to be done there, so he pondered through the ever-growing list of school events. There was a track meet at the school soon, with another school that was a host to Demon Realm children. "That would be intersting, if it weren't so far away. Let's see," Jared thought, fingering his way through a stack of folders. "There's not really anything interesting here."

 

Jared picked up his cell phone, that was charging in his room all night, and dialed Britney's number.

Lyon and Tana stood in the room with Klaus after Jared left them. Tana turned to Klaus and spoke, "Klaus, we need your help as backup. We can't remember anything from last night, but we know that Lyon's other side would remember everything, the problem is that there is a small chance that his other side would get out while we contact him. The thing is, if that were to happen we'd need you and Jared to be able to hold him off temporarily so that I could close the seal." Tana then turned to Lyon, who stepped forward, "Klaus, don't you want to know what happened to us last night?"

 

Akima looked at Jacob, "Hey, you could have just said so, you didn't have to hit me." He then gave Jacob a skeptical look, "Wait, how could you be reminded? If our memories are wiped then we wouldn't have any knowledge of it. Then again I had an odd dream last night and might possibly be a psrt of what happened, but that would mean our memories were repressed, not erased. So tell me how do you know what happened last night?"

"I don't know," Klaus said, wavering. "Seals are a tricky business. I'd have to see the seal first to know what kind of thing I have to deal with here."

 

Klaus leaned against the threshold, thinking about something while looking out the window. It was a nice day witha vibrant blue sky set against the least clouds Klaus had seen all week. Yet, something bugged him. He thought back to the night before, and how his memory suddenly went blank after 7 PM. Do you have any insight? he asked his Inner Demon.

 

Nope, same problem here, his inner Alder King said, slightly confused, though eh seemed to have control over the moment. But I've got a strange feeling about it as well Klaus.

 

"So, let's see this seal, so I can see whether or not I'm able to handle the demon that is inside of it," Klaus said, "I'm a kind of self-made expert on seals. My father's best friend was a sealer, so he taught me most of the things he knew."

Britney woke up immediately as she heard her cellphone ringing, SHe put a specific ringtone for when Jared called. She picked up and said, "Hey Jared, How was your night last night" . Britney asked curiously as she stood up from her bed, And began brushing her hair infront of her mirror, Turning on her straightener so her hair could be straight and not a big puff of hair on her head.

~~~~~

Natalie was dreaming, Her mind was thinking up horrible dreams, But they were suddenly all gone, She heard Akima's voice and she was suddenly calm and her dreams were nice and calming, A few moments later Natalie woke up and smiled, She loved Akima and she knew he did something to help her sleep at night. She got up and quickly threw some clothes on, Running out her dorm and looking for Akima

"I don't know how my night was," Jared said, "Last I remember, I was standing in the dojo, preparing to spar with Kris, and then, nothing. So, do you want to hang out today, maybe go to the pool?" Jared drummed his fingers on the desk, still hoping to find some kind of activity for today, so he looked over the list of stories. There was a festival soon in the capital, and only the best Newspaper Club members would be allowed to go, because it would cost too many Aes to send the entire staff, plus, they'd be gone for a week.

 

Meanwhile, Ezekiel sat in his throne room, looking somewhat stressed. "I have talked to the Oracle," he said to his sister, who was sitting on the arm of the chair. "She says that the Fates have not changed for our Demon Lord. Starting Monday, you will do full reconnaissance with weekly reports. I will station Isaac with you there."

"Yeah sure that sounds cool, Meet you their in a few minutes, Just gotta pull on my bathing suit so meet you their in like five, Maybe ten minutes" . Britney said as she pulled her bathing suit on, Stepping out of her dorm and locking it, She quickly ran to the pool, Ignoring the many boys staring at her running with her bathing suit on. She really liked the attention.

~~~~

Justin walked over to the courtyard of the school, He liked being their, He liked to think things through whenever he is their. He was trying to remember what happened with Britney and Natalie, He knew they did something bad, But he couldn't remember what it is that they had done.

[Felix Culpa]

Jared was at the pool when Britney arrived, swimming laps as he waited for her. It was warm in the water, though to Jared, most everything felt warm because his body temperature was around fifteen degrees cooler than the normal human body. "Hey," he said, floating on his back when he saw Britney.

 

Kris pouted at her older brother. "At the school?" she asked, obviously not interested in going to the school any more than she already had.

[Jake the Sage]

Akima had started to pay more attention when Jacob told him he had a way of remembering the events that had transpired the night before, and was edgarly awaiting an answer. Becoming nervous, almost naucious, about revealing his secret to someone after so many years that he actually lost count Jacob sat down next to Akima. Digging in his pocket Jacob brought out what looked like a ticket with ink brushed in designs that looked odd even for a demon and handed it over to Akima, "If I'm going to show you then you'll need this. And can you call me Jake, Akima?"

 

"So the poor little boy wants friends now?" the demon within taunted, crouching down behind Jacob with it's cold chilly hands resting on his shoudlers, the twisted face leaning in to 'whisper' in his ear, "You know the only things 'friends' get you is more heartache. How many times as we been ran out because of a 'friend'?"

[-Genesis-]

As Klaus said he wanted to see the seal to see whether or not he could handle Valter, Tana looked fearful, "Um, Klaus, it's a one of a kind s created and used by Lyon's mother. She gave me this..." Tana showed him the bracelet on her wrist, "It's the key to the seal it allows me to manipulate it and if necessary open it. We know what the monster is and can tell you anything you'd need to know, Lyon's other side's name is Valter. The issue is that like Lyon, Valter's energy builds up when it's not used and Valter hasn't used his energy in s years. If he got out his level of energy would make that girl Kris who Jared trained with in the dojo last night seem like nothing. But that's not the danger. With what we need to do Valter's power won't be able to get out, but his personality might. And he'd have Lyon's body at his disposal. All we need is basically to sap Lyon's energy at an excelerated rate if I need you to." Tana turned to Lyon as if asking if there was anything more. Lyon shook his head and turned to Klaus, "My seal is hidden in plain sight, the tattoo on my neck isn't a tattoo, it's the seal. Seeing it won't help though since my mother is also a master of seals and created this one on the spot. There's no way you've seen it before." [spoiler=Lyon's Seal]

 

 

 

Akima was on the roof when he saw Natalie run out of her dorm as if she was in a rush and he was puzzled. He knew he'd calmed her dreams, he could still hear her nightmares in his head. He decided to send Artemis to his room to take on his form and lead her to him if Natalie showed up there. Then he looked down at Jacob, "Um, I actually prefer to call you Jacob, is that alright?" Then he saw a pained look on Jacob's face, "Hey are you alright? You look as if something's scared you."

[Jake the Sage]

Jacob stood up, knowing that Akima meant to no harm when he said he'd prefer to keep calling him by his full name; but he had always viewed his shortened name as more friendly. But right now that wasn't what had gotten him so worked up, it was what he was about to do and say. Standing, mere inches from the edge of the roof top he took a shallow breath and explained how he had remembered the events of the prior night, "Akima unlike you I am not a demon. I am a human being . . ."

 

Glancing over Jacob saw the face he had expected, utter confusion mixed with a bit of amazement. This would be expected after all, since they were at an Academy for demons and monster so well guarded that no humans could enter without being turned inside out; this he understood. Looking back down at the ground below he could see the people, looking like tiny insects, walking around their normal routines, "What I should have said is that my body is a demon, but I . . . my personality . . . is not. I am a demon with a human mind."

 

Jacob never stopped looking downward as he waited for his words to shink in. And once they had he knew Akima would begin to ask questions, which he would answer and also explain his secret to remembering everything- along with having to doing something he had never done before on purpose.

[Felix Culpa]

"I can try," Klaus said, pausing for a second to pull of the gloves he always wore, revealing two swirling black spirals on his palms. "I wear the gloves so I don't sap energy from someone whenever I touch them. My hands are the gate to the Inner Demon, you see."

 

He unbuttoned the four top buttons on Lyon's school uniform and put his hands on Lyon's bare chest. "Okay, I'm going to start absorbing now, Tana." A sudden rush of energy filled Klaus's body, strengthening his muscles. He hadn't fed in a while, besides involuntarily feeding whenever Kris was around.

[-Genesis-]

Akima looked at Jacob stunned at this news and then as the words sunk in he smiled, "So you're human, no big deal, I had some friends who were human. It's no big deal, so I only have a few questions, I promise. First, is are you the Jacob I know as a friend?" He spoke with obvious sarcasm and humor. "Okay, I'm sorry, I believe you and I don't need an explanation. So....... I'm guessing this demon of yours wasn't effected by whatever wiped our memories. So can you please tell me what happened last night, or at least what happened with me and Natalie?" He looked at Jacob with pleading eyes waiting for a response.

 

Tana held up a hand to Klaus, "Wait, if you do it too soon I won't be able to get to Valter, besides, I want him to meet you as well. Basically your mind will split, half here doing this part and the other half inside listening to the conversation. There will be no damage to you and no affects on your abilities. But you will be able to witness something that only five people have ever witnessed before." Tana looked down at Lyon who was laying on the ground with his shirt open for Klaus. "Now, sleep Lyon." With a short smile Lyon closed his eyes and fell into uncosciousness. Tana then bent down and placed her wrist with the bracelet next to Lyon's neck, upon meeting it's match each the bracelet and the tattoo began to glow. She then turned to Klaus, "Start draining now, but at a slow and steady pace, take a little at a time, if I tell you to then you will increase it to take as much as is necessary to paralyze him." Tana then placed her other hand on Klaus' shoulder and then the two of them appeared in a place that seemed to be a large stone prison cell with no doors or windows. Across from them sitting in a chair was a man who looked a lot like Lyon, but his eyes were a deep bloody crimson and his hair was half white and half of a dark violet color, whereas Lyon's hair was all white. He was sitting in the chair drinking a red liquid from a glass. Tana looked at him and spoke to Klaus who stood next to her in this room, "That is Valter, be careful not to get sucked into an argument he likes to mess with people with his words." Then Tana looked at Valter sitting in the chair, "Valter! We need to speak with you about the events that occurred last night." The man finished off the drink in his hand and placed the glass on a small table next to him with a bottle of the liquid on it. He looked at them and smiled menacingly, "Ahh, if it isn't the little ice princess who holds the key to my prison. And she's brought me a snack, how delightful! So, where is my brother? This is his mind after all. I see you opened the seal just enough to see me and not enough that if I was to get out I would be a threat, you brought this child to help you. What can he do to me in here, absorb my power? His species is nothing but a bunch or leeches. They cannot survive without other monsters and demons from whom they can drain energy. Unlike my own species which are more like parasites than leeches, we can feed off of any kind of creature, all we need is it's lifeblood." Valter then looked at Klaus, "Have you ever killed boy? It's such a rush, the feeling of power over another being when they've run out of power, the fact that you have become like a god to them, their life in your hands. It's a feeling like no other." Valter then stopped for a moment and stared at Klaus looking to see what kind of reaction his words would bring out of the child before him.

[Jake the Sage]

When Akima made a light hearted joke about if he was talking to the 'friend Jacob" he gave him a nasty glance, not at all amused by the joke and quickly getting an apology from his friend. Friend . . . it had actually been a while since he ever thought of someone as a friend, but Akima seemed to be a good person so why not have him as the first new friend in over eighty years? "He is decieveing you Jacob . . . let him get close and we . . . will . . . die!" the demon within blasphemied, attempting to break the union of friendship the two were going through. Bashing away the demon in his mind Jacob took a couple steps back away from the edge of the roof, probably making Akima rest a bit easy, because after all if he was in his human mind frame he couldn't use any powers at all- period!

 

"Akima promise me that once you get your answers . . . or if I try something too out of character you'll put that piece of paper on my. Ok?" Jacob asked looking over his shoulders at the demon he now viewed as a friend.

[Felix Culpa]

"A snack?" Klaus sneered, trying not to go into his full form, though the amount of energy that was put into the seal, and the amount radiating from Valter, was enough to tug on his Inner Demon, but not enough to fully pull him out. "I've killed many Valter, but unlike you, I am above the art of killing for fun. I killed for my father, my family, and my people. You are the kind of demon I would kill."

 

This is not good, Klaus he thought to himself. Something in this boy pulls out your anger and viciousness. Bloodthirstiness is not my specialty and you know that.

 

But Klaus did not listen to this little voice of reason, and darted forward with all the strength of an Alder King and slammed his fist into Valter's face. Klaus's hair was a bright white and his eyes were as well, contrasting Valter's crimson like blood on snow.

[-Genesis-]

Akima looked at Jacob utter confused now, "Um, okay Jacob, I promise. You're secret is safe with men, no matter what. So, is it a suppressing seal or something? It looks a lot like a spirit ward, but it's off somehow." Akima was looking down at the piece of paper as he spoke and then looked up at Jacob again, "Okay, what actually happened last night, please tell me. I have to know!" His composure was finally beginning to crack for the first time since Jacob told him about his secret.

 

In Akima's room his staff/weapon Artemis had taken on the form of Akima and sat on the bed unnaturally still waiting, just in case Natalie dropped by.

 

Suddenly the Valter Klaus attacked disappeared into mist and Valter stood behind him. Frowning at Klaus in disappointment, "Attacking me so thoughtlessly in my own realm? I would have thought you'd be brighter than that." He then looked at Tana, "You warned him about my words didn't you? It's not like you to forget such important details." He looked at Klaus again, "You're still nothing but a child and cannot fathom my way of thinking. Now if you don't mind I'd like to sit down again." Valter then slipped around Klaus and back into his chair. He looked at Tana again but this time with a dark smiled on his face. "You wanted to know about last night. Well I'll make a deal with you, I'll tell you everything about last night in exchange for one small favor." Tana glared at Valter when he mentioned a favor. She gritted her teeth in anger, but knew, like Valter, that they needed that information, "What kind of favor?" Valter smiled confirming his suspicions that he held a very useful bargaining chip, "When you leave here I want you to edit the seal so that I can communicate with Lyon at will and that he can communicate with me. You see this prison of mine get's very lonely and it's extremely rare that I get to talk to someone like right now." Valter stood up and walked forward until he was directly infront of Tana and held out his hand, "So, do we have a deal?"

[Jake the Sage]

"Its not so much a seal . . . but more of a personality disorder," Jacob said turning to face the end of the roof, "Something that is hard to change and impossible to recover from. He and I share the same body, but we are still two people."

 

Winking at Akima he began to sprint towards the end of the roof, a grin on his face knowing the end result wouldn't be pleasant, and laughed out loud to hide his fear as he called out to Akima, "Remember that tiny piece of paper Akima!"

 

Leaping off the roof top the screams of the other students erupted, having spotted Jacob's falling body heading towards the ground. With the wind in his face Jacob's mind realed back, not being able to stand the idea he had just jumped- possibly to his own death. Within his mind, shown as a wide field of red roses, Jacob laid down and took a deep breath- at peace as the wind lightly brushed his hair over his face. Yet soon the wind died, the roses died, and the sky grew blood red while a dark and cruel laughter echoed in the inner sanctum of his mind. Sitting up in the field of dead roses Jacob looked over to see another form standing beside him, knowing who it was, "Ready to explain yourself demon?"

 

"Heh . . . you know once I gain control of MY body you will NEVER regain control, right?" the demon taunted, his foot going through Jacob as it tried to kick in him the face, and then walked off a bit. Laughing like mad the dead roses erupted into fire as the creature vanished and with it . . . the red roses returned to normal. Laying back down Jacob picked a rose and held it to his nose, "Demon you may not trust people, but I believe when Akima sees you for what you really are, he'll place that seal on you."

 

Having rushed to the side Akima heard a loud crashs, mixed with the sounds of shattering glass, before a females scream cried out in terror. Glancing down he could see Jacob's broken body over a crumpled car, torn and mangled just as his friend was. Oil and blood mixed as the gash and bone pieces slowly slipped down into the concret, the other students looking up to see Akima and start to wonder if he had possibly pushed the boy- or maybe it was suicide? But something caught each and every person's attention, weither they be standing next to the mangled body or miles away and under the ground, a essense cold and deadly swirling up and into the air, thickening it like a cloud of ash. The blood soaking ground began to pool back up into the broken body, the bones snapping and repositioning themselves as the maniacle laughter echoed from the shattered husk. Wings grew rapidly from Jacob's back, spreading wide as the full furry of the boy's demonic power came front and center- so much so that it actually physically maifested, something only HIGH class demons could possibly achieve. Lifting his head, blood gushing down his right now demonisc gold eye, the body of Jacob gave a wide sharp toothed grin and spoke, "Oh A~Ki~Ma!!! You H~ad Word~S W~ITH M~E?"
