Aarina’s first day


Slowly the gates of the academy opened and the lone woman walked inside. Except for the bundle she carried on her back and the clothes on her body, she had nothing with her. Her purple eyes swept across the courtyard, observing some students studying or simply taking a break in the gardens.

Suddenly her bundle twitched and a rabbit sized black and yellow spider crawled out of it. Its white fangs clicked in the air, making the woman aware of its presence.

“Hello, little one.” The woman whispered, while gently petting the spider. “Let’s see what awaits us here.”

The spider made some more clicking noises, before settling into the woman’s hair, quietly observing its surroundings.

The woman adjusted her bundle and walked onward.

After passing through the main doors, she halted and took a look through the entrance hall. Again there were several students walking in groups or sitting alone, though it was clearly visible that quite a few were not human. The woman even saw a young girl with cat ears being walked around on a leash.

“What a strange place…” she murmured to herself.

By now some of the students had noticed the woman and were casting curious glances in her direction. Several of them also whispered to their companions:

“Who is that?” “I’ve never seen her before…” “Eek, is that a spider on her head?!” “She looks like a vampire…” “Idiot, she’s standing in broad daylight! Of course she’s no vampire!”

The woman sighed barely audible. Sure, she was already use to such and similar comments, but in fact she had hoped that this place would be different. Apparently that wasn’t the case so far.

“Exchuse me, are chu new here?” a voice asked from behind. “Chu look like chu are searching for something.”

The woman turned around and looked down. A young girl was staring up at her, displaying a look of curiosity and slight amusement. Her long hair nearly reached the floor and was styled into two long bangs. Its color ranged from various shades of purple at the top to a light blue at the tips. She wore a brightly colored kimono and long white stockings with deep purple boots. A bright green ribbon was tied around her waist, while a snakelike tail curled up behind her back, softly swinging back and forth.

However, the trait that fascinated the woman most was the girl’s eyes. While the right one was of a bright, angelic blue, the left one was of a deep red color. Together with the innocent face and the frisky attire she emitted an aura of playfulness and happiness.

“As a matter of fact I am searching for something. Or rather, I’m looking to meet a certain Melfara. Is there any chance that you might know where I can find her, little girl?”  

“I AM NOT LITTLE-CHUU!” The girl screamed and pouted.

Taken aback, the woman moved back a pace. “I apologize. I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“Chu are mean!” the girl shouted, turned around and wanted to run away. However, because she didn’t look where she was going, she bumped into the person standing behind her.

“OU-CHUU!”

“Careful, Melfara ~desu. You’ll end up hurting yourself, if you don’t look where you are running.” The girl had bumped into a woman wearing a frisky dark red and brown dress and long red and brown stockings. She wore high-heeled combat boots of the same color, while a bright red ribbon was tied in front of her chest. Her long golden hair was swinging freely behind her back, while two red furred bunny ears were poking out of it on top of her head.

“Onee-chuan!!!” the young girl exclaimed and hugged the woman she had bumped into tightly.

“There, there ~desu. Everything is alright, I’m here ~desu.” She patted the young girl’s head. Then she noticed the tears. “Hmm, are you crying, Melfara ~desu?”

Drying off her tears, the girl pointed at the black dressed woman. “She chualled me little-chuu!”

“Oh, is that so ~desu?” The woman with the bunny ears asked and examined the woman in the black dress. “How about I go and have a talk with her, while you go over to Beryl. Seems like she’s in for a little sparring session ~desu.”

“Really?” The young girl asked with sparkly eyes. “CHUU!” she instantly ran for the exit. In the door frame she turned around and made a face at the black dressed woman. Then she was gone.

“Melfara ~desu…” the woman with the bunny ears shook her head. “Childish as always ~desu”

“Wait a moment… that was Melfara?” The black dressed woman asked. “The Melfara? The headmistress?”

“Yep ~desu. She’s a bit childish from time to time, but it would be a grave mistake to underestimate her.” The woman with the bunny ears smiled. “My name is Samusagi, and yours ~desu?”

“Aarina Whitefang.” The woman replied.

“Well Aarina ~desu. Mind if I ask what you are doing here ~desu?”

Aarina reached into her bundle and pulled out an old parchment. “I found this in my mentor’s belongings, after he died. It mentioned the academy as a place where people of all genders and races gather to hone their fighting skills.” A sad smile crept onto her lips. “Seeing that for the most part people shun me for what I am, sometimes even resorting to violence, I thought it might be a good idea to come here and see if this place is different.” She sighed and barely audible continued. “It would be nice to have a place to call home for once.”

Samusagi stepped forward and patted Aarina’s shoulder. “I have no idea what you are, nor do I know who your mentor was, but I think I can help you with getting a home ~desu.”

Aarina smiled. “Thank you…”

“Always glad to help out ~desu. Welcome at the academy ~desu.”
Aarina arrives at the academy and enters in search for the headmistress Melfara. When she finally meets her, it turns out to be slightly different than she expected. ( Next: fav.me/d764xkc )
