[hr]

There was a commotion outside the academy walls as three horses rode towards the main gate. Two with single riders, a female and male, riding on either side of a horse with two riders. The commotion was about one thing in particular, the girl with long pink ears and tail riding behind the white haired boy. No one has seen anything like her before and it was clear that they were all interested. It was an afterthought that a famous Adventurer was escorting them. 

This was the reason they were escorted, Fenros and his wife Tanya wanted to make sure they were safe on the road. The route they chose so Selena could see the country. Though every small village they passed it was the same thing, they were the center of attention because no one had seen a Kitsune before. 

Not that Selena noticed. She was so entranced with seeing all the new sights, sounds and smells; the stares didn’t bother her. Her arms wrapped around Finn's waist as she tilted her head far back, so far that if she let go of Finn, she would have fallen off the horse. Her eyes wide open amazed by the sheer size of the walls. None of the walls of her island were ever that big. Her nose twitched as she smelt something delicious. Her tail flicking as her head followed her nose. Till she saw a booth with smoke coming from the side of it, meat was sizzling on sticks over it. 

She was about to ask if they could try it but before she could they came to a stop. She looked over to Mrs. Reinheart as she spoke up. [color=CDCDCD]”My goodness, it’s been a while hasn’t it? “[/color] She said looking towards her husband. [color=CDCDCD]”It’s hard to imagine Ms. Maya, and Ms. Rickter is still teaching here all these years. I doubt they wouldn’t even recognize us.“ [/color]  

[Color=2537BB]” That’s probably true, you’ve somehow gotten even more beautiful over all these years.” [/color] Fenros said with a smirk. 

Finn closed his eyes and let his head drop.[color=0E7609]"DAD. Come on you just had to wait ten more minutes before being weird again." [/color] He said slightly exhausted. This only gained a hearty chuckle from his father and giggles from his mother. Selena just smiled thinking it was adorable how Finn's parents loved each other and often showed their love just to make things awkward around Finn.

 [color=CDCDCD]”You know he had to get one more in Finny…“[/color] His mother said before reaching over and almost pulling Finn off his horse with a hug. At which Finn grew embarrassed at all the on lookers. .[color=0E7609]” Mom!”[/color] .[color=CDCDCD]” Oh come now, you can spare your mother a final hug. You are my baby after all.” [/color] She said quickly before Finn let out a huff and allowed her to hug him a moment longer. Before she turned to Selena. 

.[color=CDCDCD]”You be safe. If you need anything, don't be afraid to write to us. Ok? [/color] She said as she reached over and gave Selena a hug as well. To which Selena returned it, holding back a tear. She had never received this much love from her own mother...she never remembered a time when she actually hugged her own mother. [color=FF3AD9]”Yes… I write many letters...I Make sure Finn is good as well!”  [/color] She said with a big smile, with her tail sweeping from side to side. Her smile only to grow bigger with Finn groaning to himself. 

Finn's mother gave Selena a smile and let out a shuddering sigh. Holding back her own tears as she fanned herself with her hand. Fenros gave his son and Selena a smile and a nod each before Finn clicked his tongue and urged his horse forward into a walk through front gates. 

Selena looked back to see Finn’s parents watching for a moment before turning away themselves. She could feel Finn taking a few deep breaths as he prepared himself. A few moments later they stopped in front of a stable, at which Finn kicked his right leg over his horses head and slid off the left side. Turning around and holding the stirrups while patting his horse's neck. Looking to Selena as she slid off the left side with a tiny oof.

He then pulled his bow off the right side of the horse's saddle and spun it over his right shoulder with a well practiced motion, easily hooking to the loop on his back. While he did this Selena pulled her small pack, as well as Finn’s while he spoke to the stable boy. Once done he grabbed his own bag with a thanks and they made their way to the main entrance. 

Selena walked close to Finn on his left side, Her ears twitching almost to every sound. It was a lot to take in at first. When they entered the main doors and saw the enormous Crystal her eyes were bright at her amazement. Especially when she noticed it was talking. She quickly grabbed onto Finn's prosthetic arm and shook him slightly asking in her own tongue excitedly. as she glanced at Finn and back to the crystal. [color=FF3AD9] [i]What is that large crystal called? How is it talking?![/i] [/color] 

Finn smiled and shook his head, answering her in her same tongue. [color=0E7609] "I...not know. I never seen something like that. [/color] He looked to the other students who were offering it their acceptance scroll. [color=0E7609] [i]"Give it the letter..[/i]"[/color] He said pulling his own acceptance letter out and shaking it in his hand. 

Selena nodded and quickly pulled it out, making her way to an open both as she dragged Finn along with her into it. Causing Finn to redden at how close they were together. But it seemed to not bother Selena. 

[color=FFC0CB]"Greeting's new student. I am Athena. Welcome to Hoseforn's Academy for Gifted Adventurers. Please present your acceptance scroll now."[/color]

Selena quickly unrolled the scroll and presented it with both hands as flat as she could, showing it to Athena [color=FF3AD9] Is..Is this.. [/color] She was about to ask if it was good to see when she let out a loud Yip when she was cut off by a light that scanned her letter. 

[color=FFC0CB]"Letter accepted. Welcome Selena Vixen."[/color] Selena and Finn watched as Selena’s acceptance letter changed before them into a map. 

[color=FFC0CB]"This is a map of the school grounds, your dorm number is 658. A fresh uniform and any supplies you require will be waiting for you. Please change... Bathe... and return to the Main Hall within an hour and a half for the welcoming feast. Attendance is mandatory."[/color]

Selena frowned. Looking down at herself and sniffing clearly confused with a frown on her face.. [color=FF3AD9]”I smell?  How I smell?” [/color] Her face reddened when she realized she said that in front of Finn. [color=FF3AD9] “I swear, I bathed in river this morning!” [/color] She said embarrassed. 

This only made Finn turn red and scratch the back of his head. [color=0E7609] “You smell just fine Selena.  I’m sure it’s just the same message for all students.[/color] Not that he tried to sniff her. He could smell the herbs she had used this morning. Quite clearly. 

He quickly offered his acceptance letter to the crystal as well, hopefully proving to her his theory. 

Thankfully it was. The only change was the room number of 645. Finn let out a breath as they exited the booth. The two of them making their way to the dorms. Passing many interesting people as they did.

Selena was glad there was a feast soon. She was already hungry. But perhaps she would take that bath beforehand to relax. And to make sure she really didn’t smell and Finn was just being nice. The mention of a bath though made her long for the baths back home...the large hot springs that felt soo good.

They split up to go to each of their dorms, Selena saying she would meet Finn at his room after so they could go to the main hall together for dinner. 

Selena immediately dropped her bag on her bed and went to find the baths wanting as much time as she could to make sure she didn’t stink. Not even taking a moment to look around or look at her new uniform.
