Chapter 3 - Four figures

Arriving at the tall golden blue gate the school was huge. The huge castle-like structure loomed over the gate and city behind. It was like 3 castles put together; the middle one was pearl white with golden accents throughout the outer structure. The second to the left side was forest green with blue accents. And the last to the right was a royal purple with white accents. Looking down at my hands I released a breath that was stuck in my chest. Finally being here I was more nervous than I could have prepared for. Unlike the gate into the city, this one was opened wide almost like it was inviting me in. and so I stepped in, the outer area in front of the White Castle was garden-like full of plants and grass. And a larger walkway lined with pink and white trees. It was also full of new students, and no one spared me a look,Which I didn't take offense to. It seemed as though everyone was already friends. Almost aligning with my thoughts I heard my name being yelled. Recognizing the voice I grimised and turned to see Rohan running towards me. Oh.. it's you I said in a low voice you actually made it after all that about me being late. He smiled at me while catching his breath with his hands on his knees. Whatever Nero he said with a real smile. This place is way more amazing than what we read. I lifted my eyebrows and hmmm'ed as a reply trying to hide my internal excitement at it too. I turned to ask if he knew where we were to go from here, but he only shrugged he obviously didn't no either. So I turned and began down the path Rohan trialed next to me. After a long walk through the walkway, we arrived in what I assumed was the middle of the school. The walkway ended on a large square platform; I honestly couldn't say how big it was, but it was able to fit all the new arrivals. Me and Ro were able to squeeze up to about the middle back before it became too packed. Luckily we wouldn't have to stand for much longer. Loud steps rang through the hall, they were loud but somehow felt as though they were only coming from right in front of me. Looking up at the large red velvet porch in contrast with the white walls and floor it was protruding from the wall about 20 feet above the platform. 4 figures were walking up to stand above us. The first one to emerge was a slider pinkish-pale woman in a mostly white kimono with tints of red. She had long white and loose curly hair that fell just below her shoulders and glistening red eyes that seemed to swa like moving waves. Although I've never seen real waves before. But her most striking feature was that of her long red antlers that stretched back on her skull just like her hair. They were decorated with jewels that rang a melodic sound when she walked. The next to emerge was a tall man with an athletic build. He was draped in a black and gold military-style uniform with a white cavalier side cape. He wore a cold strong Gase. His hair was black silky, straight and slicked back with only a few strands falling above his face. The next emerge was a man with light blue skin, almost sky-like. He had long black hair falling far down his back. And he was dressed in a long blackish-blue cloak engraved with many symbols and signs that I couldn't make out but his eyes were a pale pink color. Looking at them made me shiver because.. they lacked any pupils. Hurriedly looking away to the last figure. My heart skipped a beat the woman was nothing short of a goddess it was the only explanation for the divine nature she gave off. Her hair was long wavy and golden as though it was cut from pure gold into strands her skin was a pale brown color her long dress was a pure blinding white. He didn't understand how his eyes didn't look at her instantly till now. While frenzied thoughts ran through Nero's mind the athletic man spoke.
