Mortia stood outside the first year's classroom not exactly sure how he felt about the news the class had been given. they were going to be entering their first labyrinth in a few days.on one hand he was excited to finally be doing something besides meditating or getting adjusted to the academy. on the other hand it also meant that all the students entering would be putting themselves in harms way. "well even if someone does get hurt at least ill be there to get them back on their feet" he thought out loud.

As he started walking down the hallway away from the classroom he noticed one of the students walking down the hall ahead of him. Sprawled out across his shoulders was a black ball of fur, and even at this distance he could make out just what it was. Mortia started to bounce as he was filled with joy at realizing just what it was. It was cat perched atop his shoulders, like a small stone gargoyle. it was surrounded in a strange aura, but even then he didn't care it was still a cat after all. He took off squealing down the hall way in a full sprint to catch up with him. When he finally caught up to him he jump in front of him. still bouncing up and down he said " My name is Mortia. is that a cat? may i pet her?" all in one breath as he reached his hand out towards her.
