Cyrus walked at leisure pace, he wasn’t in much of a hurry to get to the Academy anyway. When he reached the main road he took a minute to check the sign and make sure this was the right way. Glancing over the board with apathy he suddenly remembered, “Oh frack!”
He said and broke into a brake neck sprint towards the Academy.
“Dam you Chris!” he cried furious, “You better have not done what I think you did!”
“As he climbed the top of the hill, he could see the top of the Academy’s spires in the distance, he heard the boom of its bells. Class had started. Chris, he should have known he’d do something like this.
“When I get my hands around that lousy son of a–“ he broke off, exhausted form the sprint.
“Times like this,” he thought, “really make me want to think about getting in shape.”
“Dam you Chris! No time to rest! Not going to let you beat me now!” he took of faster.
All for nought however as he reached the gates in time for the guards to slam them shut in his face.
“OPEN UP!”
“OH, COME ON, OPEN THIS DAM GATE UP!”
“FRACKING–!”
“Oh, now, now calm down, I’m going.” he heard some one whisper from behind him.
Startled he looked around to see an elderly, crooked man, leaning on an equally crooked length of wood.
“Well, aren’t you going to introduce yourself to the kind stranger who’ll open this big, heavy gate for you?
“Well, I--um--I-- who are you?”
“Fine, I’ll introduce myself, kids these days, so rude.” he said so close to a whisper Cyrus barely heard it.
“You can call me Aris Ettrol, I’m the Headmaster of the Ascalon Academy.”
“You’re th--th–the Headmaster?” he said.
“Yes, yes and you are? For such a vociferous young man it seems like a Charr’s got your tongue.” Aris Ettrol said amused.
“Well, um I am well um, Cyrus. My name is ,Cyrus, Headmaster.” he was freaking out, such rudeness towards the fracking Headmaster, man he was dead.
“Now, now Cyrus no need to curse.” he smiled.
“How did you know that I-“ confused and worried, great, you just got to love the first day of school. How did he know what he was thinking?
“Oh, just some old trick, anyway, you young man are late so lets get you inside” As he finished saying this a bright light began to surround him and quickly spread towards an awestruck Cyrus.
The next thing he knew he was inside the Academy gates looking at a group of startled guards.
“How did you–Oh never mind get to class. Late for your first day of training, disgraceful!” he said irately. “Dam teenagers...” he trailed off.

Got to love the first day of school...
