Bjorn nodded, noting how quickly some of them managed to shift. "Shifting from one animal to the next is difficult. Do it if you can but feel free to go human first," he said before shifting into a small cat.

Nick shifted back into Human form first just as Bjorn did- that was always the easiest, it was natural after all. With a deep breath, he shifted once more into a cat- tuxedo in color, his own eyes blue now. He watched and waited, grinning at one of the girls who turned into a fluffy white feline, licking his paw.

Bjorn smiled as he looked around the different colors and patterns of cats around him. His students certainly showed creativity. "It's important to firmly picture the animal you want in your mind. What it looks like, how it breathes and moves, what color it is," he said, "all those little details can make a big difference in the strength of your shift. Know your animal as well as you know your own body. That's why most shifters typically have only a few that they regularly choose from." He thought a moment and shifted into a falcon. He lifted off into the to watch as they shifted into birds of their own.

Elvira looked on in surprise, "I'm allowed to choose what i want to practice? Hmmm, let's see..." She tapped her chin and grinned, "Definitely not those easy spells, i want something... difficult and not something that doesn't do anything to the physical form." It was clear to Elvira that she wanted to practice something threatening, attack spells or possible explosion like things, though she didn't exactly say that. Glancing around, she noticed that many of the Keepers were beginning to split off into small groups. Great, if those keepers realise i want to learn more dangerous skills of the dark arts, they're probably going to act like little children and tell someone. Heh. But what can they do to stop me? Maybe i should tone down asking what i really want to learn, though, and see if there are any books on those spells in the library... Maze considered that. "Hmm, okay, I've got an idea. How about this one?" she offered, immediately demonstrating rather than explaining. After a few words of mixed English and Latin, and a flick of her wand, her thoughts entered Elvira's consciousness. "So what did you do over the summer?" she asked completely silently, only in their minds, her lips not moving as she watched the girl, continuing to rub her boot over the linoleum tile floor.

Nick, still trying to show off to the girl near- he tried to remember her name, Ayla was it?- he attempted his shift into the falcon like their instructor. Instead, he failed. As his wings grew, his muzzle and whiskers stayed the same as that of the cat. Darn! He should have shifted back to Human like Bjorn, and then this wouldn't have failed so drastically! He let out a squeal in pain from the mangled shift mess of an animal, his bones hurting him- his body's way of telling him he really screwed up.

Bjorn shifted back into a human and calmly said to Nick "Don't panic. Just shift back to human as quick as you can," It was dangerous to stay in such a mutated mess of a shift for too long.

Nick kept his eyes closed, trying to focus, but couldn't. His thoughts were too much on his current state, imagining the awful mess that this looked like, the pain it felt like. He couldn't concentrate enough to shift back.

Elvira shifted uncomfortably, she recognised that spell from somewhere. "I know that spell, though compared to some of the others that i found with it. It sounded pretty boring." The Dark Magik indicated that she never taught herself the spell, so she believed talking back wouldn't work.
--
Ayla bounced on the balls of her feet when the instructor assigned them to shift into birds. Birds, birds were most likely her favourite form to shofter into. Her two main bird forms were the Golden eagle and the Red-tailed hawk; Golden eagle she still needed to practice to keep in that form for longer, but the Red-tailed hawk, she has basically mastered. She looked across at the other shifter who seemed to be in some mess, she frown before grinning slightly. Your fault for trying to show off. The girl let out a huff before shifting into her Red-tailed Hawk. Opening her feathered wings, the bird soared into the air, letting out a screech of amusement.

"Shift back! Now!" Bjorn ordered the boy. "Concentrate!"

(Sorry for the little poof uncle is over. Hey Zu! We can continue Ryder if you want!)
Maze rolled her eyes. "Whether you find it 'boring' or not, try it. Just because it's boring doesn't mean you have a hold on it. Try, echo what I say. And don't make me repeat myself twice." With a short pause, she said, "Let me speak without my tongue, in the mind of that someone. Ego faciam quod iubes. If your spells aren't strong enough, you'll need full Latin." But, of course, she knew Elvira shouldn't have trouble with this one.
---
Nick growled in his cat/falcon form, the sound coming out weird. It was obvious from the look he sent the instructor that he wasn't helping by only yelling at him and not offering advice or assistance in any way.
---
Ryder rolled his eyes at Eira. "You're the outsider. You clearly don't make much of a good Siren. You couldn't tell I was one when I sat with you this morning. So either you lived in some messed up Clan, or you were alone- either lost to your heritage or it was kept secret. Am I somewhere in the ballpark?" he questioned with dull eyes, yawning as if bored of her.

Eira shuffled her feet and clamped her hands together "yeah... I actually didn't know I was a Siren until a few months ago" she confessed. "I know I'm not a good Siren now, but that's why I came to Evermore! So I could learn to understand this world better."

Elvira nodded, not a difficult task. With a quick flick of her wand, she murmured the same words Maze had asked her to say clearly: "Let me speak without my tongue, in the mind of that someone. Ego faciam quod iubes." She was tempted to try and speak into the mind of the new Keepers that were walking around and watching others to scare them and see their reaction, but she entered Maze's consciousness like she was meant to. "That was simple and if i might say, nothing out the the ordinary."
--
Ayla began to lower down the the ground until she landed, talons scraping the floor loudly and she took a moment to stand still. She watched Nick as the younger shifter tried to revert back to normal. There was nothing she could really say, she wasn't a teacher of some sort, she was mostly self taught.

Ryder rolled his eyes. "How boring." The twins caught his attention, and he let out a small whistle as he stepped over to join the group closer, admiring Enilamme. Of course, she had turned down his advanced last year. Maybe her sister would be more interested...?
(We don't actually have a Siren instructor here so we'll just have to pretend they've been given some instructions after we get going rping these peeps)

Maze remarked, "But I let you in. Try someone else, that isn't prepared for the spell. Use one of them walking around, so they can see what we can do," she spoke back, since her spell was still active on Elvira. The Darky was motioning to one of the Keepers that was walking around and observing.

Eira stared at him, then an idea popped into her head and she ran after him, grasping his arm "can you teach me?! You're far more experienced than me, you could teach me how to be a better Siren!" She was beaming at the idea, he could really help her catch up with the rest of her classmates. She just hoped he wouldn't turn down her request. She didn't know much about the older classmate, but she was are she could ask Sol about him later on. Hopefully she knew him.
(Oh ok, what would they practice? Just some charms?)

Elvira grinned, liking how Maze had a similar idea to hers. She took a moment to study the keepers around the place, like a wolf seeking it's prey. Her eyes set on one of the Keepers, who she assumed was new since she had not seen that Keeper around. She pointed her wand slowly in that direction before flicking her wrist and speaking the words she had said before. Her words immediately jumped into the consciousness of the victim. "Well well," She spoke into their mind with a slight laugh of amusement. "You must be new around here, too bad. I figured i could try this spell out on weak prey." Elvira sneered.

(or their luring songs, things like that.)
Ryder moaned, pushing the girl away roughly. "Get off me! Heck no. Not my job to teach you. Besides, Hunters will kill you in no time anyway, what would be the point?" he snapped, clearly sounding annoyed. "Now go away before you run off one of the girls."

Kylie screeched when the voice entered her thoughts, grabbing Namika's arm and yanking her. "There's a voice in my head!" she exclaimed in a panicked tone, eyes wide as she looked to her friend for an explanation and assistance.

Bjorn sighed. "Calm down. Clear your mind and focus on your feet. Once you have a clear image, add your legs, and then your abdomen, and then your arms and your head. Envision yourself from the bottom up. Will yourself to turn,"

Namika yowled as Kylie suddenly yanked her arm, she turned and looked at Kylie in surprise. Wondering what caused such a sudden alarm. Her eyes widened, "A voice inside your head? I've never had that before. It might be a work of a Magik... or maybe you're just talking to yourself," The Keeper frowned.
Elvira smiled. "Surprised much? Maybe you're friend is right. Perhaps you are just crazy and talking to yourself." She made sure her voice was clearly heard by the Keeper. "Of course, this is simple stuff. There are more things you should be frightened of."

Besides, Hunters will kill you in no time anyway, what would be the point?" he snapped, clearly sounding annoyed. "Now go away before you run off one of the girls." Eira stumbled over her feet and fell to the ground from the rough push. She stared up at him in shock, which was replaced by anger shortly afterward "right. I'm gonna scare them away, not the creepy Siren staring them down right?" She hissed, standing up and dusting herself off. "A simple no would've sufficed" she snapped, "and I came here specifically for that reason! If Hunters could just kill me, they already had their chance and they lost it." Eira hadn't felt this angry in a long time, and hardly ever raised her voice at someone. But something about him just irked her nerves today and she abandoned all her normal mannerisms. "Last time I checked, you started this conversation with me, and you sat with me. Not the other way around, so don't get angry at me cause I'm not what you expected" she whipped around and stalked off to go practice like the instructors told her to.

Damaris "Aris" Looking at all the species practicing, she stuttered in her walking, making it obvious that she was just made a Keeper. She asked,"They-They don't hurt each other while practicing, right?" She cringed at all the close calls of some of the practices. She seriously didn't like this world, and she wished she could go back home. "Well, they do. But we have Shaman here so they'll be fine. Afterwards at least. It's pretty brutal, though I do agree with you on that." The question confirmed his suspicions, Aris was a new Keeper. He hoped she'd be able to get used to everything soon, otherwise the next couple of years were gonna be harsh. Damaris "Aris" Nodding, she felt slightly better. "Ah, ok. I still don't know how I feel about that..." She stepped aside as a pair of werewolves got too close to her. "Shouldn't we be doing this?" She glanced over at Remy before keeping alert for anything that might be coming her way.

He nodded and began observing the Gifted "do you like it here Aris? At Evermore I mean" he asked, hearing the Sirens singing their songs off in the corner. Very lovely songs, they were always his favorite part of Power Practice. Fae fluttered above his head, their twinkling voices giggling. He ducked in time to avoid a torrent of water flying at him. Shortly afterward, he heard an apology off in the distance. Remy just waved it off.

Kylie groaned, "No, I'm not talking to myself," with a sharp glare in Namika's direction. She began to look around for the source of the voice, having heard her friend mention 'Magik.' Finally her eyes set on a strange looking girl not far from an instructor, who was gazing in their direction before abruptly glancing away. "Could it be her?" she asked Namika.
---
Ryder rolled his eyes. "It's my job to check out all the new Sirens. What did you expect, to be ignored? You're new, so you're interesting. Well, temporarily, anyways," he explained before walking off and leaving her as he slipped deeper into the group. Now it was time for them to practice their charms on one another, though, and he was great at that. Of course, help would be given to those that needed it, which wasn't many. Most had at least basic control of their powers.
---
Finally Nick managed to shift back into his Human form, letting out a relieved sigh as the pain subsided. "That was awful!" he yelled as he laid on the floor- despite how dirty it was- near to tears and he curled up to hold him side.

Remy chuckled "that's fair. I get it" he says, his eyes scanning over the crowd. "I didn't like it here at first either, was a short kid. Didn't get my growth spurt till midway through the year. Not to mention, being a Keeper without a Guardian isn't exactly ideal. I didn't really start liking it here till my 2nd year."
---
Eira huffed in annoyance "I'd rather be ignored than deal with a pompous person such as yourself" she murmured to herself. Then thought about the assignment at hand, sighing when she realized she had absolutely no idea where to start. The book she got from the library was a tale of Sirens, but it didn't really explain the charms and whatnot.
(How do charms work? Do you need to say words or something like a spell?)
