[i][u]Dᴇsᴅᴇᴍᴏɴᴀ Cᴏʀᴄᴇʟʟᴀ[/u][/i] It was miles of trees and fog; it seemed never ending. Desdemona knew the journey would be a long one, but she didn't anticipate this. She lost track of when things became so quiet, there were no birds or any other animals around. The lack of sound was almost maddening to someone who was used to the noisiness of Esprit. Desdemona continued to walk down the rocky path, holding on to her confidence that Rosewood couldn't be too much farther. Time had passed, Desdemona was gradually losing patience and when she almost gave up, the gates of Rosewood appeared before her. "Finally." She says with relief. The moment of happiness is quickly interrupted by a strange feeling that passes through her. It was quiet-too quiet, Desdemona knew there should've been some sort of noise coming from the campus, she couldn't have been the only one there. The abnormal feeling intensified, until she felt a sudden shock causing her to turn around creating a barrier of protection. A surge of energy collides with the barrier; sparks of fire ricochet landing on the nearby grass and trees. The blast lasts for only a few seconds before it ends, leaving multicolored smoke behind. The mysterious attacker reveals itself levitating. It bears the appearance of a black silhouette. Laughing can be heard as the smoke dissipates. "Is that the best you can do?" Desdemona taunts the figure. In an instant another blast is launched towards her, this time with more power. The impact caused a wider area to be set ablaze, it was definitely a strong enough attack to be fatal. While concealed in the smoke, Desdemona begins to draw a conjuring circle in front of her. The circle glows spewing dark embers that form into a shape; an ancient behemoth carcass materializes. It swings its tail clearing all of the smoke around them. Desdemona stares coldly at the silhouette while motioning for the behemoth to attack. The carcass lunges, slashing the silhouette with lightning speed, executing it effortlessly. Before completely descending to the ground, the behemoth disappears. A voice begins to speak, "Congratulations, Desdemona Corcella. You have successfully completed the final step for your acceptance into Rosewood. Performance rank: A." The gates to Rosewood open for her. "I was expecting something harder than that." Desdemona says with disappointment while moving forward.
