"Headmistress Claira C. Jenkins, that's who I am remember me? Anyhow um... the academy you know my academy I started and well some old foe took it over. And um... Oh no Miss Moor you wouldn't be bringing up old hard feelings about that time I beat you in training and all would you?... Stink how in the world do I tell someone who probably hates my guts and would love to rub it in my face that I need her to allow my students and I to stay here till we can go back to DCA and defeat the enemy?" She looked at the toad she was talking to, some of her students with her others watching SA's students. One commented. "Oy.... look at them, so cheery. Can I just go kill myself? Honestly this is terrible, they look like they haven't suffered ever they probably can't fight either."

Claira turned her head. "Excuse me, stop your belly aching, you'll be lucky if we can even become friends and get shelter and food." Oy, remind me to check all enemies death after this. She thought thinking about how much a pain it was going to be to humble herself to admit she goofed and now had some maniac controling her academy. She sighed.

She wondered if the admin sensed her presence, she looked at the trees. She hoped she wasn't around to have heard that, it was bad enough that her old rival would know about the whole academy ordeal. She hoped it wouldn't be as bad as she thought.

It was a shame what had happened at Dark Crystal Academy, really. And to tell the truth, it wasn't even a 'shame'; it was horrible, absolutely horrible what had happened. Maria felt absolutely terrible for the students there, and for Claira. She had heard what had happened from some of the teachers, and was now headed out to the forest. She quickly walked out of the school building, and in the direction of the grounds.

Upon reaching the forest, the Headmistress looked around. Starlight and Dark Crystal students, and then there was Claira... and a toad. An eyebrow raised somewhat and she smiled. She hadn't heard what the other female had said to the animal, but she could tell that she had been talking to it. This confused her somewhat, though, because the last she remembered, the woman was a pyro, not a person who could talk to animals. She walked over to the other Headmistress. "Hello, Claira," she said in a kind tone of voice, deciding it would be better not to ask why she was talking to a toad.

Claira almost jumped at the sound of Maria's voice. She decided to play the, oh it's good to see you card. She hoped Maria had no hard feelings about the rivalvary and things they had done in the past. To her all the things that happened at DCA weren't that tragic, it was normal for her to suffer since they were in a area of the world which had constant fights with mutants, deaths and crazy enemies. This academy looked a lot like heaven compared to where they lived with the moors and danger of the landscape.

She kinda felt a bit out of place with all this happiness and untouched beauty. She felt a lot like her students, Did these people ever suffer? She forced herself to put that out of her mind and smiled. "Maria, it's been a long time." She said in a friendly voice, it was odd she felt so confused with the academy change. She wanted to go back to the place she felt at home but couldn't. She didn't know how Darcy ever took it over, but from now on she wasn't going to stay hidden and in the background. She thought about the girl who saved her life. Allie Corellaz she was.... She heard there was another girl of that name at this academy but it wasn't the same one. She felt bad that such a young girl should die to save a Headmistress.

Claira didn't notice the ragged look of her appearance compared to Maria, Maria always was more better dressed and more rule centered then Claira. Claira would let rules slide from time to time, and would be more understanding to the reason it was broke. She also has quite a nack for breaking rules herself as known in her past. She would do good but do it in a unrulely way.

Maria noticed Claira jump when she spoke and smiled somewhat. She shook her head, looking at the other female. She knew they were rivals, that they weren't exactly best friends. She folded her arms over her chest, and just looked at DCA's Headmistress. She knew that she and her students probably felt out of place here, since it was far less dangerous around here than it was at the other school. She figured that the peacefulness was best for the students, anyway.

"Maria, it's been a long time."

Her smile widened a bit upon hearing the friendly tone in her voice. Good, no arguments yet. "It has, Claira," she said, her voice sounding friendly as well. It did sound a bit concerned too, though, but she tried not to let it show much. She knew Claira was used to these kinds of things happening, but even so, she did worry for everyone's safety. She couldn't help it.

"I heard what happened at Dark Crystal," she said. "Well, bits and pieces anyway. Who took it over? And how? Are you alright, are your students alright?" Now the concern in her voice showed, and she didn't really care. They might have been rivals, but that didn't mean they were entirely enemies. She wanted to make sure that no one was injured too badly, or if anyone was, that they got to the hospital wing immediately.

Claira went quiet, Maria didn't know that it wasn't just a fight. Some of her students died, she felt responsible and she had tried to protect them. But her hands were full at the time, she walked next to Maria and put a hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear. "Let's talk about that later."

She then moved away, "Everyone's either been treated or are already there thanks to some of our students studying flying and medical treatment and healing so that's not the problem at the moment. Maria, I know we've never been the best of friends but... My students need living quarters till we can figure a way back in DCA so... If it's okay..."

She paused, she didn't want to seem bossy yet she didn't want to seem like she wanted to be best friends since all her friendships ended bad. "Would it be alright if my students temporarily reside here?" She asked hoping she worded it in a not too desparate or helpless manner. She thought about the witch and her students, it hurt her to have to act like it didn't effect her when they fell in the battle. But she had to remain clearminded for her students' sake.

"Let's talk about that later."

Maria nodded her head, supposing she shouldn't have asked right at that moment. "Alright," she whispered back. She wondered how bad it was going to be, since they couldn't talk about it out here. She had had an idea that it was bad in the first place, since the students couldn't even stay at DCA or around the school, but now she was beginning to think it was even worse.

She was glad to hear that medical treatment wasn't the main problem at the moment. Well, at least DCA's students weren't hurt too bad; or at least, if they were, had already been helped. She blinked when Claira asked if it was alright if her students could stay here until they could figure out a way to get back into Dark Crystal. She didn't think that Claira would ask her that, since like she had said, they had never been really great friends. She looked around at the Dark Crystal students, then back to the other school's Headmistress. She couldn't say no... she didn't know if they had anywhere else to go, and after what happened at DCA, it would be just plain cruel to deny her a place for her and her students to stay.

"Of course, Claira," Maria said with a smile. "I don't mind at all if you and your students stay here. You can stay as long as you want."

She smiled lightly relieved that the students now had a place to stay and keep learning. "Thank you Maria." She then turned to her students. "Okay, Maria here has decided we can stay at Starlight Academy for as long as we need. So first thing I want you all to do is get a unused dorm room, and after you've rested go to the adminstraition desk and fill out some information so we know who made it here and everything we need to work on with your powers. Now your all dismissed." The students slowly dispursed and she was left alone with Maria.

She sighed, thinking about the students who didn't make it to the academy. She wasn't going to give up on them. In fact she was planning on as soon as possible to try and find those who went missing and try to bury some corpses properly. She thought about the students, she wished she could've spared more lives. She looked at the path she took wishing she saw the missing students walking up the hill after them. She knew it wasn't so though. She slowly turned back to Maria, she didn't know how to say things about the students left behind without sounding a bit cold. But it was the only way she could deal with it as a headmistress, or else her students would fall apart. She felt some pain from a wound, she hated doctors and wished the Oros sisters had made it out okay. She was so used to their cottage and cheery and funny ways, and now all that was left was a empty house.

She didn't want to show her pain knowing Maria probably would say go to the hospital. She sighed lightly feeling the pain, she didn't want to be treated with pity. Pity made her either fall apart or get angry, she wanted to remain calm. The pain from her wound hurt badly her face didn't show the pain, but some blood managed to bleed thru her temporary bandage and her shirt near her stomach and ribcage. She waited till all students were headed to the dorms before saying a word.

"Thank you for being willing to do this Maria, I really didn't have a clue where else to go if you refused. I know you probably didn't expect me of all people to ask, but my students need a place to recooparate and train." She said to Maria trying not to show any pain from her wound.
