Along the summit of the wide mountain range, sounds of shimmering portals fills the area as Vexxed practices his study of demonology.
He gets thrown against a boulder as the portal disappears in an explosion.
"Dammit! This hound just doesn't want to come out"
he falls to his knees and holds his back in pain, but quickly shakes it off and gets back on his feet to try again
Setting up the candles and runes once more, he shivers as the cold breeze blows across his exposed skin wearing a thin wool shirt and torn pants.
Before starting his ritual once more, Vexxed decides to start a fire to keep warm. Running over to the trees he trips and rips his pants more to the point his pants could be like shorts. He recovers quickly and looks around hoping nobody saw his blunder. He gets a fallen branch and drags it to his little camp and breaks it up to set ablaze.
he decides to sit around the fire for a couple of minutes to warm himself. out of pure boredom he sees a tiny swallow in the tree and decides to follow its visions.
"Attera tortus spectrus!" he yells pointing his wand at the bird. Suddenly the bird is startled off by his words, but he has still got its vision watching it fly down the mountains, he sees a figure going towards him and quickly breaks the spell and hides his runes and covers his markings in the dirt.

Having found a random trail, Ritsuka walked up the mountain nearby Hogwarts. She had gone alone because the thought of bringing someone along was just painful. Why she wanted to be walking around here was a mystery though, since vampires were rumored to patrol this mountain a lot. But why should she worry? Citrine was a vampire, and she never did anything drastic.. But Citrine is different than most vampires.. she can actually control herself.
Ritsuka stopped in the middle of the trail and listened closely for any sign of movement. Tail twitching behind her, she noticed a lone bird fly off from sight. Narrowing her eyes up at the sky, she continued to walk aimlessly. Not much further up ahead, she came across a some what small clearing that looked like it had been used. "What's this..?" She looked at the gravel and dirt beneath her shoes and saw that there were another pair of foot prints here. She could faintly smell smoke and saw a poorly covered fire. The branch covered with dirt still glowed a dull orange, proof of recent activity. Scoffing slightly, she turned in a full circle, her ears turned in different directions, trying to listen for breathing or movement.
Ugh, I can't hear anything here. The sound of the wind blowing through the trees and birds flying in the distance messed up her concentration. Whatever. She walked over to the edge of the cliff looking over the nearby shopping districts. Sitting on a rather large boulder on the brim, she stared at the buildings and smoke coming from the chimneys in the distance.

Off in the brush, Setherix sees that girl he met in the old medical quarter, noticing she saw his poor attempt of putting out the fire he backs up further hitting a tree the dropped some dew drops on his head
"Ouch" he exclaims, as he both holds his head and covers his mouth.
Figuring the girl heard him he came out of the bushes and brushes himself off of bugs.
"What brings you to this neck of the woods?" he asks the girl in a brightly toned voice as he picks a twig out of his shirt.
Noticing that he startled her she nearly tripped and fell down the mountain, Setherix Runs over to grab her hand from falling.
"you're not a people person are you?" he asks as he notices her cat ears and tail
quickly turning away to hide his smile, he would rather kill himself than to show emotion to a total stranger.
he walks back to where his fire was and smothers it in dirt extinguishing it completely, and jumps up to a ledge and sits.

Smoke in the mountains? That's never a good sign...
I rush into the trees, looking up into the sky following the direction of the smoke.
Then an explosion yelled across the mountain.
sh*t! What was that?
Pulling out a hollow wand, which seems more like a flute, I played a short series of notes. Not my favourite way to travel due to its strain, but its the fastest, I disappear into a tree, and traveled quickly from root to root.
There's no sense of pain from the plants... The smoke and explosion must be controlled... What could someone be doing up here?
Through the network of roots, there seems to be a void ahead, a clearing in the trees. Emerging from a tree, I realize my mistake: the clearing was a peak of a mountain. I discovered a circle of disturbed dirt and what appears to be a fairly recent camp fire.
Looking away from the disturbance, 2 people sat on the precarious edge. The boy was unfamiliar, but the girl... She seemed somehow known to me.
"Ahem" I coughed to make myself known.
I gave a stern look concerning the circle in the dirt.

Startled by the Dryad, Setherix raises his wand spins around pointing it directly at him. He shoots a bolt at the nearby tree it came from, corrupting the root and slowly killing the tree. Quickly noticing he's seen this person before in the past years. After realizing it meant no harm, he lowered his wand. and apologized, then chuckles abruptly.
"aren't I just the popular guy today" Seth smirks and puts his wand away. He breathes and looks at the girl, then the dryad, takes another breath and decides to start conversation since he is well aware he wont be getting any privacy anytime soon.
"Allow me to introduce myself, since I must be the new mystery all the sudden. My name is Setherix Euphoria, but you may call me Vexxed if you wish." Seth's long hair blows in the wind as he stands between the cat and the dryad.
Seth bows and returns to setting up the candles, still admiring the cat girl when she wasn't looking, He draws a circle in the dirt and 5 uneven lines all bisecting eachother in an oblique pattern. lays 6 candles on the bottom in two triangle shapes and another 2 on the top of the figure.
"If you were wondering why I am here, i have a pastime of summoning and learning about demons. However due to the school not having enough people to attend the class, I just borrow the books and practice it on my own." Realizing that this could potentially kill one of the bystanders, he picks up his candles and covers the dirt feeling it is time to give up on that for the day and converse with the two strangers.

Next to her, Ritsuka had heard some rustling in the bushes. Thinking it was a small animal, she payed no attention. Suddenly, a rather chipper voice cut through the air.
"What brings you to this neck of the woods?" At the random outburst, Ritsuka lost balance on the rock and almost fell right over, but something had caught her and pulled her back up. Looking at the figure, she recognized the face. Seth. When he walked away, Ritsuka stared at her hand, and slowly shook it off in slight disgust. Don't touch me.. She growled in her head. Her pride was hurt, she could've easily saved herself since she did have the traits of a cat, but shrugged it off.
"You're not a people person are you?" Still, Ritsuka refused to speak. She just stared as he finished covering his fire. Crossing her legs, she continued to watch as he situated himself on a ledge.
"Ahem" Another person had made themselves known upon this, what seems like, popular spot. The voice was familiar and as Ritsuka turned to look, it was none other than Tyiro. He's.. back? What the hell? Disappears for months then just comes back? She felt hipocritical because she had done the same thing.. but.. that's not the point.
Seth pulled out his wand and immediately shot at a nearby tree killing it instantly. Ritsuka stared at him with amusement, and looked back at Tyiro for a reaction.
At the comment Seth had made, Ritsuka rolled her eyes and sighed. "Tyiro. Where have you been? I see you've learned a few new tricks." She noted how he had gotten up here through the trees. "And as for you," she stared at Seth, "talk too much."

After hearing the girl, Seth's tone completely changes. "Oh I'm sorry, I must have spoken to the 'most miserable and secluded girl in the world' I'm sorry it wont happen again, if anything it's people like you I hate most. Thinking the world is against you and that you are so 'grim' that you don't need to show any respect to anyone." Seth faces the girl "goodbye, I hope I didn't make you puke in your mind. Well actually I could care less if you did."
Seth turns around and walks over to the other person. "Tyiro is it? I'm sorry you had to bare witness to this, but I must be off. Sorry about the tree." Seth pauses for a minute, then turns around and starts down the mountain. He bumps a branch and drops a small book 'Harnessing the Demon Within' it read, he did not notice this fall and continued back to the castle.

Ritsuka watched the boy insult her and a small part of her twitched, but she couldn't help smiling halfway through the rant. She actually started laughing aloud, covering her face with her hands. This guy had her all wrong, and it amused her how annoyed he had gotten over a few words that came from her mouth!
She had a feeling Seth had no where to ACTUALLY be, he just stormed off from being so butt hurt. She only thinks this because he was up on a mountain, by himself, practicing. Where could he possibly have to be?
She picked up a nearby rock, not too big and not too small, and chucked it straight at his head as he walked away. It hit the back of his calf, and she stifled a laugh. It probably wouldn't have bothered him, but it made her giggle. That's all that really mattered.
She noticed that a book had fallen on the ground. Now, she wished she hadn't thrown the stone because when he left completely, she could've stolen it. There was the chance that he DID care, and would turn back around and see that he had dropped it and taken it with him. I didn't think about the fact that he might come back.. She crossed her legs and stared at nothing.

Apparently from my name being called, the familiar girl and I knew each other. Racking my brain... Loveless came up. Looking back at the girl, I noticed that she had cat ears and a tail.
Has those always been there?
Before I could reply to the old acquaintance, Setherix rants at the Ritsuka then storms off and bids me a leave. As I watch him walk off, a rock hits him in the leg.
I look over to Ritsuka and she was stifling a laugh.
Funny
I let out a chuckle and ignored Setherix.
"I've turned 16 is what happened... Had to leave to go home back in New York. Apparently, my mother kept a secret about her very natural origin."

"I've turned 16 is what happened... Had to leave to go home back in New York. Apparently, my mother kept a secret about her very natural origin."
"I never knew you lived in New York.." She searched her memories to see if she could recall Tyiro ever speaking of such things, but she probably didn't care enough to.
"Sorry if you've told me before." She laughed.
(OOC: Wow, really short post. Sorry. xD)

"Hmm... Don't think I've ever mentioned my past before... Really not that interesting."
I turn toward the shriveled dead tree, and rest my hand on it. Whistling a short tune, small sprouts sprang from the dried bark.
Remembering a childhood memory, I continued,
"Mother always did have the best garden, despite being in such a dense city..."

Ritsuka couldn't exactly put a finger on whether she actually was interested in his past, or if she just wanted to know for the hell of it all. Tyiro walked over and cause sprouts to emerge from the dead tree. Life is too simple.
"Mother always did have the best garden, despite being in such a dense city..."
Ritsuka had remembered her old home and was slowly sinking into that mind set of hating everything. Her mother, too, had a nice garden but probably not as great as Tyiro's mother. She had always wished of being able to just sit out there and write stories. But her mother never let her out of the house for more than a minute.
She growled a bit at the memory and shook her head. "At least you can talk to your mother in a civil manner." This, Ritsuka was not so sure of, but if he was able to go back home for such a long time and come back they must've had a decent relationship together.

"At least you can talk to your mother in a civil manner."
I assume that her parental relations weren't that well. I walk away from the tree which is now turning to mulch for the sprouts, and into the clearing, where see candles and runic symbols.
"I guess it was a possibility."
Wanting to change the subject, I started to clean up the circle.
"So, Ritsuka, what did I miss during my absence from Hogwarts?"

"I guess it was a possibility."
Ritsuka didn't really understand what Tyiro was referring to when he said this, but shrugged anyway as if responding. The clearing still had runes and whatnot scattered around and Tyiro took the liberty to clean it.
"I don't think it'd a good idea to be touching Seth's stuff. They look.. somewhat important. He might use them again, or come back later." Ritsuka looked around and saw the various runes and candles that he left behind. Near her foot, though, was a peculiar one that caught her interest. She couldn't really tell what was on it, but it was really pretty. Picking it up she put it in her pocket. He won't notice if one is missing.
"So, Ritsuka, what did I miss during my absence from Hogwarts?"
Scoffing, she stood up and walked around looking at the weird markings everywhere. "I don't know. Nothing I guess. Same old same old." Of course, she was lying. Ritsuka had gained strange new powers over the course of time he's been gone. But why would he want to know about that anyway. "I heard that the Headmistress was pregnant though through the grapevine." She shivered at the thought of a baby, and continued to walk around the clearing.

"A baby. Huh. Didn't even know she was hooked up with anyone." I laughed at Ritsuka reaction. I went over to the boulder, tossed the stuff on the ground and climbed up to sit. From up here, the view was spectacular. It was possible to see the town one side and Hogwarts on the other.
"I wonder why I never came to this place... There's a great view from up here." I spoke to myself more than her. Within sight, the peaks of the nearby mountains are visible.
"Runes are dangerous if left in order so I don't think he'll mind. Nice move with the rock by the way." I laughed at the recent event. "He seemed more or so pissed."
