Shunning most interaction and even romantic feeling in favor of keeping order on the island.
Rumors have it that she knows the secret to everlasting life...

Being a rather passionate person in spite of her family's constant attempts of oppression upon her lively spirit, she seemed rather inclined to get into trouble with other notable houses. She was the youngest of three, having an older twin sister and brother by two years. So her parents decided to limit her communications and associations with other people when Emilia was 11. She had private tutors, basic run of the house, and was occasionally let out of the house to see the theater, ballet, or orchestra in the family's different private box seats.

She once asked him why and his only answer being 'because you remind me of me'. They have a father and daughter relationship.

Her mother was at work and her teenage brother was supposed to be watching her, but of course had more interesting things to do. She was rather gifted for her age and more than a little independent. In there little apartment she kept a garden on there little beat up terrace and was always sneaking animals home from the park. She was in this garden when a little girl from the apartment below them called up and asked where her mommy was. In telling her that she was at work, the girl asked who was watching her. No one, she told the other child. This child told her Mother who was watching her and she came up and got Fey letting her play with the other child till her own mother got home.

This delighted Fey to no end and but she barely knew it was her doing it, only that she wished it wouldn’t stop. When incidences started happening at her special school the mother from the apartment below knew exactly what was happening. She had a cousin that had wind powers and lived on the island where the school was. She contacted them and made arraignments for Fey to go live with him there. Thinking it for the best Joanna kissed her baby good by and told her to call every day.

He ran a rather profitable Ferry and Shipping business on the island that brought in people and Supplies alike and he had always wanted a kid and to do a bit of good in the world, and Fey was certainly an interesting one.

He hired a young first year earth student during the summers to watch her giving them a free room as pay, and a nanny from the mainlands during the school year. Harrison was the father she never had and Fey loved him with all her heart. Growing up on the island and having students watch her often as not, she often got to go up to the school and even was able to take out books from the library so long as Harrison helped her return them in time. She was enrolled to join the school when she came to the island to attend when she turned 21. That being said she has grown up knowing the staff rather well now in her 4th year is a student intern every Friday in hopes of one day being a teacher there.

Elemental Dragons
"Four Elemental Dragons that maintain the flow of magic between each other in various environments. Though they have faded from legends and myth, the few records of these majestic yet powerful beasts live on through the scrolls and records of a past much forgotten. Even any information on the Internet comes up empty...as if only those who know about the scrolls are allowed to be aware of their existence.
These four are guardians of magic...and rumored to be the source behind the attunements...
Water Dragon, Uzumat -- No Image -- A Large Dragon the size of a Blue Whale that roams the deep oceans in the world. Adorned with large horns and a thick beard of hair, this majestic beast is docile and speaks the human language without issue. Songs have been made of the beast but time has forgotten them...
Earth Dragon, Terra Doma Said to of roam the Deserts all along the central part of Africa, this towering sand dweller swims through the shifting grain like nothing. In the past, the minerals on it's backs were said to of made the most beautiful pieces of jewelry and fine arts of it's time. If he still exists, the beast would most likely be under the Egyptian sands, resting.
Fire Dragon, Fuoco Padre Not much was gathered on this dragon, only been heard of in the old ruins of Pompeii before the volcano those many years ago destroyed the home. Though some say he lies dormant in the Volcano now.
Wind Dragon, Xiao Shun Hato Living high up in the sky, above the atmosphere, The wind dragon soars through the skies and maintains the air current for those on the planet to survive in. They say the storm clouds that form are from his wrath and the rain clouds are from his sorrow. The Tornados are said to also develop from supposed offspring but nothing proves it much.

☢Roi of Arcane☢ "To keep balance, one must place rules to ensure order."
✥-━┈┈━-✥ 〖The morning on the first day of this school year has slowly begun. The light of the sun started to graze over the city to wake the inhabitants. The large tower sitting in the center of the school buildings would light up in an orange and yellow hue. At the top, a young woman in a night gown rose from her bed, stretching her limbs and prepares herself for the day. She looks out of the window constructed wall that surrounded her apartment like home to gaze out past the island and at the sea. A sight only she could bear witness to every morning...yet it's the start of the school year that makes it all the more special. The woman soon emerged, walking down the steps from her bedroom area and over to the shower with a circular curtain to freshen up.
Taking her signature attire for the school, she prepared her basic breakfast, coffee with two eggs, one over easy and another sunny side up. All while she basked in the full sunlight of the rising sun. "It's been fifty years already? Time flies fast." she said as her attention was brought to the television and watching a local news network before switching to international news. The weather would be perfect to greet the students and celebrate fifty years. It put an internal smile on her face. Once she finished her morning ritual, she waved a hand to pull a book from the shelf to bring with her. Another wave of her hand conjured a portal where a special tile was placed, instantly taking her to the ground level of the tower.
The ground floor is where the ease of getting around the compound were in place. Portals to specific wings and locations of each building, opened by the proper element but anyone can use while it's open...except the single tile attuned to Roi. Already she could see some of the early bird students patiently walking to class, talking with others and even reading the notice board or tournament sign ups. Roi looked over her book she pulled out and read what was in it. Taking note that due to the fifty year anniversary, there would be a special tournament lined up in the coming weeks. That and a bunch of celebrations for the new and old students. "The announcement and opening ceremony for the students starts around noon....and if my calculations are right, the stands, tables, electronics and other tat shall be set up a good hour before that happens. Let's hope they have enough seats." with the snap of her book closing, Roi began walking out of the tower and to the front field where the set up for the announcements were taking place. Monitoring it so that the people know of their fifty year celebration.
"Fifty years since it opened...Fifty years of teaching and bright students...fifty years of Xyla imprisoned from the world. I should ask Sir Spade to accompany me to the Catacombs later..."〗 ✥-━┈┈━-✥

~Akira Spade~ ╔═════════════════════════════════════╗ Where at: Sculpture Garden>Hallways With: Terracotta men> students Thoughts: Wonder what kind of students I'll have this year. ╚═════════════════════════════════════╝ ((OOC: First posts are always difficult. Also curious which direction goes to which attunement.))
"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..."
Like some of the teachers and students, Akira Spade was an early bird on the first day, but he spent his time in his sculpture garden rather than walking around on campus. Every now and then he took the chance to change the positioning and pose of the sculptures. Most were terracotta, but there were some that were made of other materials such as marble and some metal sculptures. Metal wasn't exactly his specialty, but it was something he did research on. A few more waves and the statues were in new positions, although it's not like it mattered since few actually visited this garden.
"That should be good." he said, pleased with himself. Now that he adjusted his sculptures, he proceeded over to an Earth portal, taking him over to the Earth attuned section. He had only been a teacher for a couple years now, but knew the place like the back of his hand thanks to his attendance as a student. The other directions, not so much. There were only a few students he passed as he started to walk towards the field for the celebration.
"Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."
"Alright, lil missy, time to get up," ordered a tall and lanky man deck out in a black police uniform. When the woman gave no sign of a response, the man sighed and with an annoyed look on his face, marched towards the supposedly sleeping figure and pulled her up roughly by the arm. "I said get up!" he barked, this time louder and in response, the woman head spun quickly to face the officer, her amber eyes in a heated glare. As if burned by her gaze, the officer quickly release the arm he was holding. The woman fell forward, barely catching herself as she brace an arm on the edge of the bed.
Aria was in quite a foul mode and didn't want to play 'nice' with the officer at all. She had been held up in this private cell for over two months now ever since they had told her that she was to be release into the custody of some stranger at some magical institute. They had been waiting for the new term to started before agreeing to give her to the institute and apparently- now was that time.
The officer, who was still looking rather annoyed though slightly agitated as well, took a few steps away from Aria. He was scared of her, obviously enough. Who wouldn't be if they knew what she was an of the crime she committed. She was a freak after all, a freak who had set her own boyfriend on fire until he was nothing but a charred corpse. She was innocent though; a freak accident of her magical powers awakening and her boyfriend just so happen to be caught in the middle of it. Not many people believe she was innocent however. Sometime, even Aria, herself, didn't believe that she was. Just remembering that day was bad enough. Aria could still vividly remember the smell of burning flesh, hear the agonizing scream of pain. The very thought almost made her vomit. But she didn't. Instead, she pushed herself off the bed, bare feet placed on the cold tiled floor as she stood.
The officer, noticing her movement finally, barked orders once again and left. She was to wash up and change into new clothing that had been left for her the night before. Nothing fancy, old shirt and ill fitting jeans and dirty black sneakers. Once she was done dressing, she noticed the bag resting on the floor beside her bed. Inside were more clothing and toiletry items. Apparently, that was all she was to take with her to the institute. What did she expected anyway? Her home was completely burned down. Nothing of personal value was left. Nothing at all...
The same officer plus a few others appeared at her door just then and ushered her out and escorted her to a black car with tinted glass. The ride was long and boring and the people inside weren't exactly talkative people. The journey was longer yet when they had to switch from car to ferry that took them to the man made island where the institute was located. Another car ride afterward, thankfully shorter than the first, they were finally at their destination where people from the institute were waiting for her. Relinquishing her custody to them, the officers left.
"Well... home sweet home. I guess..." Aria muttered to herself as she was lead into the Institute ground, feet practically dragging as they seem to grow heavier and heavier with each step she took. Somehow, this place didn't feel any different to the prison she was in before.
No... she thought as he took in the grand visage before her. Not so different at all. Just a prettied up prison...

☢Roi of Arcane☢ "To keep balance, one must place rules to ensure order."
✥-━┈┈━-✥ 〖 Roi looked around the area, reminding herself of the first moment of it's opening and how it was a much smaller class. The establishment barely had any buildings and the island was more spacious. Now it has turned into a city in a short time. For Roi it was a day worth celebrating. She walked over to the stage and podium with their logo on it. a medallion with four colored gems at four points with a white gem in the center. She read the banner above of the island's name. The chairs for the arrival of the first year students who are still around lined up accordingly on stage opposite of the teacher seats. She offered those students to come and be apart of the opening year.
"Miss Roi! Mind testing the microphone while you are there?!" one worker yelled, aiding two others in the back with the sound system. "Of course." she stepped to the mic and with a soothing but calm voice repeated the words test, changing her pitch high and low at random to aid them. When she was done, Roi took notice of how the tables and chairs were arranged. Unlike most opening school years, the tables would serve to be a fun test not only for the students but also the teachers. With the amount of chairs to tables, it was clear the size of the classes were even bigger than before!
Roi took out her sheet she wrote two nights ago for this moment and finalized what she would say. Some students couldn't help but watch the whole series of events unfold. Some of the returning students wondered why tables were being placed. Roi paid no mind to them, only easing her attention from her papers to notice a familiar man suddenly approach the area. And many first year students were excited to see all this.
Even if she didn't smile on the outside, she wasn't void of all emotion. "Sir Spade. I am glad you are here early. After today's announcements, I require your assistance in the Catacombs. It is fairly important." Roi said with a near monotone voice. Despite looking in her mid thirties, Roi was still as tall as the average student.
Each minute that past Roi felt like a second. She was feeling the urge to begin the announcements earlier than normal. Yet with Akira here, she could at least try to talk to him casually...but like all other moments, she held back the chance. Was it because she was antisocial? Or was it due to keeping her reputation as a very powerful figure? It always ate away at her, as if her inner self told her to speak up and talk casually.
As the decorations were being placed, the water coolers on the sides with cups and then some, Roi took a deep breath and quietly told herself "It starts soon..." as some news anchors arrived to broadcast the moment. Even the older students, well into their sixties and seventies arrived in their chairs, adorning the first generation school uniforms before they removed that rule in the school's seventh year running. Giving everyone the freedom to dress how they wanted. Roi of course shook their hands as they arrived and even hugged them despite her straight expression. She was more than happy to see her first students again and alive to this day.
Then an announcement was made for the grounds "All students and faculty please report to the field outside of the Arcane Tower for the opening ceremony."〗 ✥-━┈┈━-✥
~Akira Spade~ ╔═════════════════════════════════════╗ Where at: Field With: Students, Headmaster > Thoughts: The Catacombs? ╚═════════════════════════════════════╝ ((OOC: ))
"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..."
The field had an even larger amount of chairs, and the new addition of tables, for the ceremony. Each year the academy took on more and more students and teachers, as shown by the chairs. It was the first institute of its type, so it could be expected. Since its opening fifty years ago, its taken almost every person with an attunement, although all had been either Earth, Water, Fire or Air, and the Headmaster was the only one he knew of that didn't fit in one of those categories. As if by chance, Headmaster Roi called his attention, telling him to attend to her in the catacombs. He had never went to the catacombs in his entire time at the academy, since there was a concrete rule against entering without the Headmaster. He couldn't help but wonder why she was asking him to go with her down into those tunnels. Very few he knew of had tried to enter the catacombs, and his mom said his father had tried to enter during his time at the school. With his disappearance, they all assumed he made it, only to be put in prison or to death by the rules.
"Very well Roi. I'll be sure not to get caught up in the festivities" he assured her. As the Headmaster went along wrapping up the preparations and making an announcement to gather the students, Akira took the time to look around the field. Passing by was a group surrounding one student who looked out of place with her clothing. "I didn't know we held tours for individuals. Getting the VIP treatment?" he asked the group as they approached him.
"Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

Arcos Magna "The Illusion Silhouette"
It was a simple start to a glorious morning. He started his routine as he did every morning. Get up, shower, brush, sip his coffee. Arcos Magna had a few pleasures in life one was coffee. He was never known to be jittery or twitchy but truly enjoyed a simple cup of nice black coffee every single morning. He sat in his home flipping through the paper as he analyzed the words through blowing the steam that rose from his cup of bitter delight. He took a sip before closing and folding the paper up. Looking at the clock he smiled lightly. "Another first day, another crop of bright eyed students." He smiled lightly as he walked to his closet dressing in more appropriate clothing. Putting on a pair of black suit pants and a blue button up followed by a sleek black suit vest followed by a pair of polished black shoes. He continued to sip his coffee all the while.
Once he was dressed and ready for the day he refilled his cup and exited his home. The air was crisp the light dew that formed along the countless blades of grass that speckled the yards and lofts reflected the silver light of the morning sun as it peaked its head over the surface of the horizon signaling the new day. As he walked each step made a distinctive rhythmic noise, even when he walked over the small puddles there was no splash or sound of the water's surface being broken he simply strolled over them.
His morning walk soon came to an end however as he approached the school grounds it would seem he had not been as early as he thought for in an instant of his arrival the sound of the headmaster giving her first announcement of the year tore through the silence of the school. He smiled lightly nodding in approval. "Punctual as always ma'am." He said with a cheery grin before he to began to head to the Arcane Tower. Along the way he glanced at the students who had begun to congregate there as well. So many faces all smiling so brightly as they dreamed of the future that now awaited them within the walls of this school. It was true many of them would find purpose and direction while here, while others learned how to supplement what they already wanted in life. All had infinite possibilities and all had so much potential.
Finally approaching the field he admired the work of the planners, Roi was never known for doing anything half way. He found himself chuckling lightly at the students as they all began to gather sitting in clusters or by themselves. He took another sip of his still steaming coffee. He didn't know why but he had a good feeling about this years crop of students, both those returning and those who were new. "It is... Going to be quite the eventful year." He said softly as his lips curled into a soft smile.

Mera M. Avudor ***
The sun shown down through the window and glistened on the drool next to Mera’s lips in the hotel he was staying at. Mera woke up and sat in the bed for a while, still half asleep.
Oh yeah… today is the entrance ceremony. If I miss this gramps is gonna be so pissed.I should get going. He got out of bed and put on his favorite old flight jacket that his grampa gave up trying to get rid of and grabbed his old beat up bag, wich was all he brought with him when he came to the island. From his bag he took out a bread roll from the bag of five and ate one as he left the room and headed downstairs.
After paying for his room, he stepped outside the lobby and took out his map that his grampa gave him with a furrowed brow. His focused look soon became a puzzled look of confusion as the map was totally different from what he saw around him. Instead of a single road to the academy as shown on paper, he was surrounded by buildings that made up a busy city with many branching roads that were not on the map. He hadn’t really noticed how busy it was as he was so tired after arriving on the island. Staring intensely at his map, he tried to make out where he was. Then from the courner of his eye he spotted that there was a date on the bottom right corner.
“2640…”Ha! No wonder the map was so different. It was from the time right after the academy just opened! Mera crumpled the map into his bag deciding it was pointless to use and decided to just go to the academy without it.
After asking a few people in the city, Mera finally arrived at the academy. He walked inside following the line of other students and alumni that were coming to attend the entrance ceremony.
Wow. I didn’t know there were this many people with powers too. Mera had come from the countryside so he had not met anyone else who had any elemental attunements. He reached into his bag and started to search for his campus map just as an announcement rang out:
“All students and faculty please report to the field outside of the Arcane Tower for the opening ceremony.”
Zipping up his bag, Mera sighed and followed the many other students towards the large tower in the center.

They were suppose to simply just run her through all the basic- class rules, the dos and don'ts, all the important school stuff, ya know- not give a grand tour of the place. They had been walking for what felt like hours though only fifteen minutes had pass. It was just too... big. So much so that it felt like it would take forever to cover it all just on foot. Heck. Aria wasn't even sure she remember half the things they were even telling her.
Truthfully- everything was just moving too fast and she was feeling a bit too surprise at how 'friendly' they were. Maybe she was wrong to assume that this was just a prettied up prison? There was definitely something extraordinary about the place however. It left a strange feeling nagging at the corner of her mind and the more she tried to grab onto that line of thought, it all to quickly alluded her grasp. It wasn't an all too pleasing feeling.
"All students and faculty please report to the field outside of the Arcane Tower for the opening ceremony." The announcement broke through her thoughts and she realize then that they had come to a stop; their destination reached.
"First years are to head over there," one of the man who had been escorting her spoke. He gestured towards the group of students who were all lined up on the stage. Aria felt so out of place as she took note of how prim and properly dress they all were compared to her own attires. Aria wished to be anywhere but here.
Would it be so bad if I just made a run for it now? she thought idly. Where would she even run too though and Aria doubted she would have gotten far anyway. This was a magical institute after all, one that was located on a man made island. Being penniless and without a single thing left to her name, she would have probably ended up starving to death first.
"I didn't know we held tours for individuals. Getting the VIP treatment?"
Her resolve pretty much broken, she made to take the stage along with the other first year when another man's voice caught her attention. All the people who had been her escort, two men and one woman, turned and approached the nearing male.
"Ah Akira. Good of you to finally show up," spoke one of the men, chuckling. "And its nothing of the sort. Simply escorting a first year that was late in arriving due to some... outside problems." Turning towards Aria, he gestured her over.
"Miss Aria, this is Mister Akira Spade. He is one of the teachers at this Institute."
A head taller than her, Aria gazed up at him, eyes set into a glare as she locked eyes with him. Gut feelings alone, there was just something about this man that did not sit right with her but not wishing to appear rude, she held out a hand to him for a shake.
"Aria Peach," she said in a rather stiff tone. "Nice to meet ya, Mister Spade."
~Akira Spade~ ╔═════════════════════════════════════╗ Where at: Field With: Students, Aria Preach Thoughts: 'Outside problems'? ╚═════════════════════════════════════╝ ((OOC: We be slowing down :/ ))
"Sometimes you've got to step back from your work every once in a while..."
The ones escorting the student he recognized from the fire section of the school. Having a student late wasn't unusual, especially with the first years, but the 'outside problems' got his curiosity for the moment. "A pleasure. Might I ask which attunement you are?" Most students should know what they are before coming to the school, and if they didn't, they found out real quickly. Although Aria Preach was giving off a rather cold attitude towards him.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked after a moment. Of course there was the occasional student that gave the cold shoulder, usually it happened after the first class, and she didn't seem like someone he'd be teaching. To the side of them he noticed another teacher from his least favorite section of the school, Arcos Magna. It's not that he hated mages tuned to water, but water and earth didn't mix well.
He waved over to get his attention, as he should talk to at least one teacher before the ceremony. "Arcos! Nice of you to join the world! Come say hi to one of the new students." Oddly enough, they were dressed pretty similar in style, although the long duster Akira had on was about the only major difference. It made it easier to keep his shirt clean, rather than require him to get a new one before his class.
"Or you could end up forgetting what you were aiming for."

☢Roi of Arcane☢ "To keep balance, one must place rules to ensure order."
✥-━┈┈━-✥ 〖Roi watched Akira greet a new student. Then again, plenty were approaching. Her attention among the crowd and then some...but something caught her eye. Looking back over to Aria, Roi saw something that no one else could see at the time. The girl's presence seemed fairly strong as is unlike the others. Not due to control but birth wise. For the time, she put it aside and focused on the gathering. Giving everyone enough time to catch up, talk and so on. Other teachers came and took their seat. Roi eagerly watched the clock for the moment she could speak. The chatter of the people got progressively louder. Some students stood around instead of sat and it was perfectly okay.
As soon as the time came and everyone was settled down, Roi began the ceremony. "Good morning everyone. New and old, returning and fresh. I am glad to stand here before such a mass gathering. Normally these opening ceremonies are fairly quick but today is a special day as you may know by now. It's on this day, fifty years ago, that the academy opened for the first time. Only a handful of people were given the chance to experience it and since then...much has change. Rules were changed and altered to better make everyone happy."
"The first announcement...is that the Winter and Summer tournaments will still be the same games and what not, but a new event will be added. Sparring! Starting this winter, we will be allowing sparring rounds against classmates and familiar elements. The ladder will be divided into four and the winner of each elemental ladder will face off against a free for all spar. Do not fear, for there are spells the teachers have been learning about over break. Spells meant to be for this special event. It's a way to better show off any combat experience but in a safe environment. As such, new rules will be placed when the time comes. Until then, a list of rules can be found on the sign up board starting this Saturday.... The second announcement, is that all students will have dorm rooms to call their own. Some of you will be paired with another of the same element for ease of compatibility. This will be free with your enrollment, but food and the like are all on you."
She cleared her throat, flipping through the pad before her of notes. "...Next, we included new clubs and group gatherings. Such as Tea Ceremony, Agriculture, Art Class and so on. The list of such activities and gatherings will be on the board for sign up, Do not be shy." Roi seemed so stoned in the face with her expressions. Unlike anyone in the area, her clothes stuck out like a sore thumb. The news cameras were capturing it all live.
"Finally, and possibly the best news, is that our entertainment district has a new section with clubs, game corners, and clothing outlets we have yet to have here. Be sure to drink in moderation however, as from now until the end of the winter quarter, all drinks will be twenty five percent off!" this last bit was interesting since Roi didn't seem like the one who enjoyed parties or drinking. Her age alone spoke of wise but boring in a sense, yet she tries. "I will now let the first class president take the stand to give all of you a short speech about his time in the academy under my tutoring guise. They are fairly old but do not underestimate them." she signaled for an old man with an average build and a balding spot to step forward. Wearing the old uniform. He talked to the people in a very heart felt way about how the place bettered his control but also made him realize his so called burden was also a gift.
Roi took her seat which was next to Akira at the time. She looked to him, glancing at the man with her straight face. Roi was sure he could be trusted with what laid down below. Sitting next to Roi, Akira was easily taller than her. Even with her robe garb, she was skinny underneath the layered attire. she looked at Akira once more. Truth be told, she hadn't the heart to say the fate of his father. As he would probably find out sooner or later.〗 ✥-━┈┈━-✥
