School of Sorcery
 

Michael DeLere was on another recruitment mission for the North American School of Sorcery, every year a dozen teachers were sent out to collect the new students for the coming year and explain to them what they were in for.

As he was walking around a bunch of kids playing ball after school passed by him, they looked like fairly normal children, they paid him no mind as he had nothing interesting to see and was just another adult for them. Their game became more and more intense and a dark haired boy suddenly kicked the ball hard, onto his direction.

One of the kid's eyes widened in shook as the hit was about to happen, she closed her eyes and focused, out of a dark corner a falcon, a blue one, speed up to his direction and caught the ball, preventing it from harming the man, the ball was dropped long later.

The kid sighed in relief and smiled while going for the ball. "Sorry for that, sir!" She called and dashed off with the ball.

Michael looked at the girl "Actually I need to speak with you, there are things you have to know." He told her, glancing at the blue falcon.

When he spoke the girl was far away, and his voice could not reached her, the kids' game resumed, the falcon looked at him and then went away.

Michael hide himself until she was alone, he would speak with her then.

He would have troubles with that as she kept playing until it was dark and was scorted home by the bunch of other kids.

"I swear to you, Ary, if that thing didn't come ahandy we would have already made chicken soup out of that think" The dark haired said while giving her a noogie.

"Yeah... fuck off!" The girl grinned. "Else I make him eat your eeeeeyyyeeees" She said in creepy voice before going into her home, the falcon was nowhere in sight but the man could feel that he was near.

Michael waited for the street to clear then knocked on the door of her house.

A tall man opened the door and looked at him. "Hello, sir, can I help you?"

"My name is Michael DeLere, are you Mr Halvar?" He asked

"Yes I am" The man said seriously, thinking it suspicious that someone would come so late to ask that.
