[Bran]
	Bran's eyes widened in shock as he felt a burning, rumbling sensation in his chest. He looked back and forth about the room to see other people looking at newly found tattoos on their bodies.
	[i]Well at least I won't look like a weirdo,[/i] he thought to himself. Sure enough, there was his word. WAVE. What was that even supposed to do? When the monsters appeared, a rush of terror flowed through Bran. He'd never seen anything like it. What were these things? He fell back as he avoided an elongated snout snapping towards him. The creature leapt onto him with an enormous weight. It pinned down his legs and manage to get one arm before Bran pulled the other up to shield from the army of teeth chomping up and down. He shoved forward with all his might, wishing the beast away.
	"GET OFF!" He cried out the words with a frantic push of his arm. The burning sensation on his chest intensified, and Bran could feel a ripple shuffling its way through his arm. Suddenly, his arm, and in turn the monster's maw, began to vibrate intensely.
	[i]Huh. Waves. So that was a sonic blast. I've got my own natural frequency, though, so I probably shouldn't vibrate myself for fear of rupturing anything important.[/i] Bran looked up to see a boy controlling ice and speaking to the gathered students who remained after the initial assault. A girl, one he was sure had been crippled before the creatures had appeared, hovered above with newly sprouted wings, blowing gusts of air over the assembled as she made a hasty exit. [i]That's not going to be useful in a fight,[/i] he couldn't help thinking. [i]But damn does it look awesome. She's gonna need some help.[/i] Slowly but surely, Bran jogged over to where the winged girl appeared to be making a landing. The two characters at the landing site would make for interesting companions. At least Bran hoped they'd all accept him as a companion.
