Edric was nervous. Sure, he'd faced worse than a first day of school, but still. He'd even tried talking about it to Azamor. He closed his eyes and grabbed his pendant, Azamor's current housing. [i]Hey, Aza![/i] he transmitted to Azamor. [i]To be honest, I'm not sure what to do about this. I'm really nervous about this.[/i] Aza responded as he usually did. [i]How the shit should I know? I'm a demon? Trapped in this STUPID FUC-[/i] Edric usually let go of the pendant right about there. Nervous or not, he had to go. He said goodbye to his father, thanking him for letting him go. His father had been none-to-eager to ship him off to a magic boarding school, probably just worried about losing another family member. He had never really known his mother, he just had a vague appearance in his mind and a feeling of warmth. He had always been a bit bummed out by this, but he figured that never knowing his mother was better than having her die when he was older. Just saved him a bit of heartache really. Still, that was part of the reason that Edric was even going to Athalia in the first place, to get strong enough to search for his mother. Even if she hated him, he wanted to know who she was. His father always shut down whenever Edric brought it up. So, Edric grabbed Nox, which was apparently a pretty big deal, as far as swords, and made it disappear into thin air. He wasn't sure how it worked, and he preferred not to think about it. He smiled remembering how he got the sword in the first place. Edric had been walking through a marketplace one day when he saw a person carrying a fairly dark, fairly cool sword. "That's a pretty cool sword, friend" Edric had said. "You want it?" He has said in reply. "It was giving me a headache anyways." The rest was history. He strapped his revolver to his chest, and buckled his other (not-legendary) sword around his waist. He then grabbed his backpack and headed out. It hadn't taken that long to get to Oasari, so he arrived just on time. It was a clear day, and Edric couldn't help but smile as he approached Athalia's gates. He heard the bustling sounds of the student body and wrenched open the gate. [i]I think I'm going to like it here.[/i] He "said" to Aza as he walked towards the main building. [i]Whatever, loser[/i]. He smiled, it was good to know that Aza would always be Aza, even if everything around him was different. Edric was pumped, he'd have a chance to make friends, get stronger, and have fun. It sounded just like his cup of tea.
