"Humans claiming to their family. Oh what dedication. But then again, you are just as stubborn as a Dwarf, probably a trait from Truesilver" she booms loud enought to shake the floor of the room.

She then turns her gaze back to Shalise and Mira. "By remembering your family, you friends and your life before this academy you will have doomed them all when you walk out that door and start your training.. Only people with pride and stupidity allows their enemy to get the information neede to make one weak." as darkness yet again fall on the room and she moves her head close to Shalisa's "I surely hope you do not concent to the idear that you familty will be killed or even worse turn into walking deads?" she wispers. "If you truely loves your family you will forget about then now before exiting that door" she points to the door on the left side of the room.

"I cannot tell you what to do, that is the job of Mira, but again, your as stuborn as a dwarf and your training will be hard. You have honored your family by accepting the offer to join the academy, do not let them down and give up now. They know the price and so will you." still as a whisper.. "Honor then by forgetting them as long as you are within the academy and Riversides walls, our enemy is resourceful and will use every card to their advantage." she then moves her head away and raises her voice.

"You are unique, Half-breed, and therefor the enemy will do what ever it takes to gain you to their side. You will one day become a powerful Cleric, keep your faith in TrueSilver, and never forget the oath sworn. But your family is your greatest weakness." the room suddenly turns all dark, except for 2 glowing silvery orbs. "If you cannot forget your family, then I cannot concent to your training, and it will be entirely on your and Mira's shoulder, should she decide to go against my word." the orbs move a little around, then focuses on Shalisa "So I ask again young one, are you ready to forget all about your family, your past and start to learn the truth about dragons, their life and becoming a Cleric trusting in only 2 things... Your God and your dragon?" and then she moves to Mira "You know now the complication of this one, so the choice is yours" as she looks at the both.

"Failure will not be tolerated, she will NOT be allowed to leave this city untill her training is complete. That I have promised her family and YOUR will COMPLY". Her training should be hard and unforgiving. is send telepathically to Valor and Mira.

Shalisa looks angry at the silverdragon and bites her teath together.

"Never! Love is my strength, and i love my family. It was not a part of the deal that i had to write them of. I Know the dangers of the world old one, and i was putting them in more danger before, if i am accepted as miras diciple, at least i will know how to defend myself and those around me, but whatever you say or do you can not and will not make me forget about my family. I knew i had to be here for a long time without seeing them, and that i accepted, for that is a part of growing up and learn to indepentend, but do not challenge me on my love to my familiy old one"

Her voice is low, and it is as sharp as a finebladed sword.

"You and the headmaster is two of a kind. Attacking people, demanding, putting them down, inpolite, using your fine words to make them insecure! The decision is not your to make old one, it is Miras, so unless she will not accept me you have no say silverdragon!"

The anger is litteraly glowing out of her eyes, and it is a look that can make even the most bravehearted take a step back. Her wild red curls seems alive in this instante an it almost looks like they are moving from an unseen wind, the odd but stunning eyes are glowing icecold with a deep and passionate fury.

While she looks this way she turns towards Mira, and the goldelve is allmost drown in her anger witch is allmost toucheble

"Now tell me Master Cleric Mira. Did i make my journey for nothing, or will you teach me?"

Mira had to take a step back for the now stunning woman who had just grown out of a little girls anger.
it was almost as if the air grew thicker, the light grew darker and Shalisa grew warmer. Mira had to take a step back for the sheer power in the rage of the little girl. She had seen Silvermantle enraged on time before, and it had almost killed her back then, much the same way as this time. Her bronze eyes was wide open and it was clear that she had no idea what went on here. Valor knew what went on, and knew there were not much to be afraid of, but even though Shalisa only were a halfbreed her power was great. It couldn't destroy anyone as the anger of a real dragon could, but he saw the fear in Mira and realised how fragile she were, not having dragon blood.
Mira herself was completely overwhelmed and as the air grew thicker and thicker it grew harder for her to breath right. Silvermantle had crossed the line now, and when Shalisa turned around and caught Mira's eyes she froze. There were nothing she could do paralyzed by the silverfloating eyes suddenly so powerful, that she couldn't wrist her eyes free. Mira never had feared to much for her own life, knowing where she would go, but the sheer force of a dragons rage even a small halfbreed puts fear into anyone, and tears begins to run down her cheeks as the dragon eyes pierce her to the floor.
in the end Valor raises up on two feets, spread his wings and looks down at Shalisa talking to her with the most booming voice he has.
"YOU CALM DOWN SHALISA SILVEREYE!! THAT RAGE IS FOR NO MORTAL TO SEE, AND YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER!
He stands up and defend Mira who has collapsed on the floor sobbing and shaking of pure fear. She is a mortal and nomatter how much an elf she is, she will never be a dragon and will therefore never be able to stand against the force of an enraging dragon. after his voice has echoed out at the walls he calms down and drops down on four feet again being friendly again.
She will teach you as she does everyone that comes here in need of the gods teachings, but even though its very unjust of Silvermantle to do this, she does have wisdom. You just need to think about it for some time."
She still stands between Shalisa and Mira who still is nothing but a wreck. A silent thought to Silvermantle flies through the air
"We will do as you order. *sigh* How fortunate that she has no classes today. She will not get out of bed the next few days."

SilverMandle grow in size and is suddenly much bigger than any oher know silver dragon, she the turn her gaze to Shalisa "If you truly loves your family, you will forget then during the 4 years on this academy.." in a realy cold voice that sends shiwers down the spine of everyone present. The room is suddenly cold, very cold. "You speak of love to yur family. You come here being arrogant. And you come here to learn, but so far you have not proved worthy of teaching." she continues in her cold voice.

She suddenly moved with lightning speed, pick up Shalisa and lifts her up in the same height as her head. "What do you realy know about love, did you realy think that your family did know about the consequences of you attending here. They send you here, they know the sacrifice. Again you speak of love, yet you fail to protect your family from those who wish to do you or them hard. she continues.

She then looks to Mira, and picks her up in the other hand. Closes the hand to protect her. Then turns her gaze back at Shalisa. "Dont you come here blaming me, or the headmistress, this is your choice and you will accept or you might as well leave this academy a failure." with a silent voice, but still with coldness in it.

"When you think you are ready to follow the rules of this academy Mira will teach you, and you will learn to control the powers within you." she then opens her hand to Mira, while saying some word in her native languages, yet they still dont make sence, but suddenly a sealed envelope floats in mid air in front of Shalisa.

"This letter will you receive in approximately a week if you do now forget your family before starting here. This letter contain the information about your family death if you do not forget them.. Never have I told you to stop loving them.. Never have I challenged you on your love to your family." her voice is suddenly distant.

"Either you make your family proud and do as I say.... Oh you leave out that door right now into certain death." as she lowers Shalisa to the ground, the letter still floating in mid air, then turn her look on Mira. "You do not need to worry, no harm will come to you right now or as long as you are under my protection, or Valor's." she says in a normal voice.

Again she says some non-understandable words on her native tongue and a small ring floats in mid air infront of Mira. "This ring will protect you from the anger and effects of lesser silver drages. Turn it once and I will be at your side. Shalisa has potential, but I will not endanger her family by teaching her if she does not understand the rules set by the very family she loves" she then lowers Mira to the floor with the ring still floating in mid air.

"And now for you angry reaction Shalisa. But remember this the more anger you brew, the further away you walk from your god." she says in her cold voice again, and as she ends the last sentence everything in the roon turns normal again.

//
The letter is blank, except for the first line. "The Testament and last will of Lyon".
//

"Fine, my choise is my own. You can not tell me what to do, and you cant prodict the future, or the destiny of me or my family. I am obviously not welcome here. Master Cleric Mira - I am sorry for waisting your time"

Shalisa jumps down from the dragons hand, and bites her teath together then the pain sends lightnings trought her feet.

With angertears in her eyes she turns towards the door in a cloud of wild red hair and violently rips it open, and walks out of the academy

Mira is completely gone and hears nothing but her own racing heart and her sobbing.
Valor is contempt about letting anyone take Mira as it is, but he has always learned to respect both Tesari and Silvermantles desicion so he say no more. When he sees Shalisa run out, he looks fiesty at Silvermantle before hurrying out. He knows what Mira would want him to do, and he intend to do it. He must explain everythin to Shalisa and make her come back, cause even though Mira never will talk about it, he knows she wants Shalisa to be even more powerful a cleric than she ever will be. Mira is arrogant and will never tell it to Shalisa but she see potential for greatness in the girl, and Valor both see and feel it too.
So as a lenght of his masters and best friends will he leave her with Silvermantle and hurries out of the door himself in search for the young potential.

in the meanwhile Mira has stopped her sobbing but lies unconscient in the huge hand of Silvermantle. She will never forget this, and it will always leave its scars just as it did back then with silvermantle herself. A soothing aura glows around her, as her god takes a step and heals the worst. She will sleep soundly for a couple of days, and the protection will maybe help her. But for now she has nothing she needs to be done, and no emotion fills her peaceful face.

((Valor out, Mira knocked out!))

"I so hate when peopl fail this test, why is it that they can never see beyond their own arrogance and believe that are the best. Again, leaving only prove she is a failure, but she will be back." a voice in the main hall says are SilverMandle is suddenly small and in elven size.

She picks up Mira and carries her to her bedchamper in the tower.

((SilverMandle and Mira out))
