Cole was uncomfortable. It was all so unfamiliar - the sights, sounds, and smells. The surrounding forest seemed dangerous, and unsanitary. The roars and crashes echoing from a distance only agitated him further, though, according to the map that he and the other students had been given, the presumed chaos was exactly where they were headed for. They eventually emerged from the trees into a clearing, or a wreck of one. Cole spotted a lioness hybrid with her hand on a plant hybrid. An unconscious minotaur was lying under pieces of a fallen tree, and there was a boy who looked to be in pain not too far away.

"What in the world happened here?" Cole muttered, mostly to himself, though, it was audible to those close to him.

The newcomers were then approached and welcomed by a lion hybrid, whom Cole assumed to be the teacher-in-charge.

"Thank you, Sir. A very good morning to... you....." He trailed off, raising an eyebrow as he noticed something odd about the lion's focus, which did not seem to be on him or any of the other students.

Cole turned to look behind him, where the teacher seemed to be staring, but found nothing that was of interest. Considering what he thought was an unlikely possibility, he turned back and gave the lion a short wave. His eyes then shifted to look at Kaze, the expression on his face a mixture of confusion and fascination. He hoped for the dragon boy to confirm, or deny, the theory that was clearly in his mind.
