The youth of this world often times were corrupted before they could truly get a chance at life. There were far too many people in the world growing up without proper guidance, without help, or anyone to look after them. Especially when it came down to those who were not considered 'normal' to human society. They were shunned, as he had been, and often treated like monsters. It was no way for a child to grow up, but Pryderi had been one of those children who had been subjected to such things.

He had no one to care for him, to look out for him, no one to teach him things in the way he hoped to teach this younger student. the struggles he had both in and out of school were often times expected to be overcome without help. He'd always felt that he could have been greater, better even, if someone had only just taken the time to help him. He was a young adult himself and still had very little knowledge of the full capabilities of his own powers, but he hoped to accomplish a great deal more with his studies.

What his reasons were for wanting to study Dark Arts when his abilities did not cater to such forces, that was something he would not tell many people, but maybe one day the reason would become clear. Today was not that day. No, Today was the day he'd agreed to meet the boy he was supposed to tutor. Hopefully saving him from feeling the stress that he'd known growing up as well.

Pryderi had set up a series of cushions on the floor, a sandalwood box sitting on the outside of the setup, candles lit in the space left by the separated pillows. He sat on the far pillow, staring at the flames of one of the candles, allowing it's light to reflect in his crystalline eyes while he waited. His mind was elsewhere right then, the bones at the ends of his hair-ribbons dangling close to the fire, but he did not seem that afraid of the fabric catching fire.

All he had to do now was wait.

The teacher had tried to be nice when she knelt down and said in a gentle tone that it might be best for him if he got someone older than him to train him in the dark art he was supposed to be good at by default. It made him sad that he needed to be tutored, but he also knew that it was inevitable. Since his parents' passing, there hasn't really been anyone around to tutor or teach him. The Virtues were supposed to angelic, beings untainted and black magic......

Well....

Thierry squeezed the ratty doll he carried everywhere close to his chest. Another one of its old stitching tracks had come undone and the thread had loosened, so he took a few minutes to properly sew it closed. He wondered why he kept this doll so close. He knew it had once upon a time belonged to his mother, but he didn't know anything else.

It made him feel safe.

Dark Mages didn't need stuffed animals to comfort them.

The slip of paper led him to one of the Empty Classrooms, where someone by the name of Pryderi would train him. He'd tried for hours, but he honestly couldn't pronounce this name.

"Pe...Pry....Pride...?" He mumbled, opening the door almost without looking up.

What he saw made him feel... strangely at ease. The candles and pillows were not uncommon to the rituals he was used to performing. He slowly eased the door shut and moved closer to the set up, the beads in his hair clinking and clattering together almost melodiously, like a song.

"Uhm... h-hello!" He said. "My name is Thierry...."
