Danny’s eyelids opened a sliver, an exhausted escaped his lips as he stretched his stiffened arms. He autonomously covered his vision from the blinding light which seeped through the window, which lacked protective curtains. Once his sight finally focused, he stood up from his cot and scanned the room for his companion. Standing on two stubby legs, Eve was resting on the window sill, her round eyes staring outside. The rays from the sun seemed to deflect off of her snow-white feathers, it was a breathtaking sight to awaken to. What would usually be dubbed an ocular masterpiece, was the norm for Finks. He ran his head through hair and commanded his sore body to rise from the bed.

“Ah, right. It’s the first day of school.” He let out a sigh, realizing that the student would need to establish a better sleeping schedule to make it through the year. The repetitive cycle required him to get up early, and return to his abode at a reasonable hour. Danny had stayed the night at an inn, within the surrounding town. During the summer, he had been residing in his former lord’s castle, since the man felt the need to repay Finks. The jobs the boy was committed to had been costly, and had turned Danny’s life into a worse predicament than it already was. The noble also provided him with surprisingly large sums of currency once in a while. Though, to the businessman, it personally was just spare change. But, in a world where one isn’t so high up in the economy, spare change goes quite the ways. Rather than draping himself in layers of cloth and fabric, he chose to wear more casual attire. The teachers wouldn’t become sticklers for dress code for at least another week. After throwing on a plain shirt and pair of pants, he wrapped a striped scarf around his neck. Even though the temperature didn’t require such an article of apparel, he was fond of the comfortable fabric. 

On a table laid his eye patch, formed out of a white cloth, it got the job done. Either than the fact that his left eye was completely blind, excluding that, it was in perfect condition. The pupil was a light grey, so he decided to cover it, in hopes of not frightening people. To new magestravii, it served as a reason to know one’s limits. It was a miracle that Danny had survived the backlash of overusing his abilities. He acknowledged that time wasn’t on his side and whistled for the caladrius to follow him, the bird instinctively chirped and flew to him. Somehow, the bird managed to keep its plump body in the air, it was able to hover in place with its own strength. Before he departed from the inn, the student ordered a cup of coffee, then rushed off to the renowned academy.

Upon his arrival at the academy, he was skimming over the schedule in his hand. Danny only studied two subjects, since keeping few priorities was more manageable. He did indeed have two classes which focused on the two parent subjects, the classes were broad and a lot of information was skimmed over. To supplement the students’ need for knowledge in more depth, child classes which taught different aspects of their parents. To sum it up, out of the many choices, Danny chose the courses; [i]Mind-reading, Clairvoyance, Animal Instincts, Anatomy, and Art.[/i] Five courses was easy to operate off of, he excelled mostly in the first two. His main goal was to learn how to operate off of the few resources he had, without straining his weakened mind. Over the past few years, he has been sent to the hall of healers for collapsing in the middle of his insorcery courses.

Hopefully, this year, he would progress in his studies and techniques. He looked at the faces amongst the crowd with a nostalgic feeling. [i]”I wonder how many of them are first years. I bet they’ll be amazed by the headmaster’s annual greeting he gives.”[/i] Finks thought to himself as he took his own place in the ocean of students. The avian steadied itself in the middle of the air next to him and waited expectantly for the old man’s cheerful face appear before them. Once the man of the hour stood before the body, he gave his ordinary speech, somehow captivating all of the new students. It was over as soon it had started, as it was a relatively short announcement. As the body began to disperse, he decided to venture to his first course of the day, taking a sip out of his beverage.
