Gaia had had a long day and she was rather tired. She didn't want to go to her dorm as she knew that when she was there people might talk to her. She wasn't really ready for that yet.
Gaia had with her nothing but a lamp, a feable candle flickering in the wind.
The wind was strong, Gaia felt her self being pushed and pulled by it. When a forcefull gust blew she fell to the floor and her candle went out.
Her hand had landed in something wet. He rubbed her fingers to try and find out what it was. It certainly was not water, it was too think. In the weak moonlight it almost looked silver. Mercury? Gaia thought. No that would silly.
She took her compact from her pocket and took out the powder puff. She placed it into the liquid hoping to soak some of it up. When the puff felt well and truely soddon she got up began to fumble her way back to the edge of the forrest.

Apronia appears out of the nightly mists, watching a student stumble through the undergrowth, only a few metres from the grounds. Cain crashes into her from behind as she pauses.
¨What are you doing here at this late hour?¨ she demands. Her appearance is wild, dirt-streaked, dripping blood. Cain looks little better for their long walk in the caves.

Cain breaths deeply, happy to be back in the open air. Centuars dislike enclosed spaces. He is limping slightly, his back leg twisted on a rock, but otherwise he is alright. He was right. Apronia made everything all right.
He wouldn't have thought it was possible, for a mere wizard to defeat a whole tribe like that. And though in his heart he mourned for his clansmen, he was Apronia's now. She was his herd.
He crashes into her, stepping quickly back, to peer around her at the student. The smell is unbearable. "But... that's UNICORN blood!" he blurts out, his fear forgotten in the horror of it.

Fin, who had been trying to sleep in a tree on the edge of the forest, was being disturbed by the racket that was taking place below him. "Hey, could you keep that noise dow-...whoa, a centaur, cool!" Out of all the things he had seen, a centaur wasn't one of them. Fin was actually sometimes even embarrassed to say that he'd never seen one. And now that he had, he didn't really care about sleep anymore. He immediately jumped down from the tree, to examine the creature. "Soooooooo, you got a name?" he asked, fascinated.

Cain looked at Fin incredulously. "You're SLEEPING in the FOREST?" He shrieked. "Are you INSANE? Can't you feel it?" He gestures wildly up at the stars. "Momma told me you couldn't hear them, but stillll..." He quieted, flushing slightly, embaressed by his out burst. He tugged on Apronia's clothing nervously. "I'm Cain," he said.

"Uhhh, yeah, if I can't sleep on the springs or on the floor, I usually sleep on the edge of the forest...name's Fin by the way, nice to meet ya'." Fin held out his hand.

Cain tilted his head to the side, staring confusedly at Fin's hand. What did he want him to do...? Finally, he decided to ignore the gesture. "Still, creepy! You really like being out here? I wanna get out as soon as possible..." He shivers.

"Well, I always can sleep here...what's so bad about this place that makes you want to get out of here anyways?"

¨Fin,¨Apronia says in the gentle tone of those who know their words will not be well received, ¨It is no longer safe for those with magic to enter the Forest. It is not safe for anyone. It pulses with corruption and Darkness.¨ she places a hand on his shoulder. ¨I know the Professors every year tell you that it is Dark and evil, but even the trees now are being consumed by it, and the centaurs have been possessed by something Darker than I have ever seen before. The next branch that you sleep on could strangle you, enfold you in the bark, or worse.¨

"No offense Mame, but I've heard this all too many times, and nothing's ever happened. However, I'm not much in the mood to argue, so I'll do what you say...tonight. Later Cain, maybe I'll see ya around."

The key at Apronia´s throat grows hot, her eyes mist...
a werewolf, half changed, two female students, one infused with fury and the other quakingly brave. a professor is murmuring to them, leading them away. a Presence watches smirking
She falls as the vision lets go of her, lets Cain help her rise.
¨I must watch him.¨ she says. ¨There are far too many in the Forest. How am I to make them listen?¨ she blinks away tears of frustration, looks at her small friend, watching him limp. ¨Come, let us get to a Professor who can heal you.¨ Their wounds from arrows and falling are shallow, Cain´s twisted leg more serious. Yes, they must get to the other Professors.

(ooc: the one in the poisoned woods.
Except now we're not even in the forest, anymore, we're in Rainer's office. Ooops.
I'm locking the dead threads in here to avoid confusion.)
