"...my head hurts."
'Exposed to enemies is bad...now I understand why she was so pissed...' Ryuzo thought to himself.
Boggles at the fact that anyone who would go through the trouble of flipping a world outside-in would not take paintaking measures to make sure it could not be undone, but otherwise accepts the facts as given.
Vakkler is shaking. "Inside...out? We're...surface..." He starts babbling in Draconic.
None of the news is a shock to Vai. Tamrin had explained to her that she had come from a different world than Agartha. What Tamrin had neglected to tell her was anything about the Dragon Empire or the history of Agartha... and now she could understand why Aananda was so upset.
"So, um... damn?"
"That is the correct phrase, Mr. Dacamara."
Vakkler is shaking. "Inside...out? We're...surface..." He starts babbling in Draconic.
Jiminy's eyes shifted to their draconic appearance as he spoke sharply in drconic.
"Professor! Get a hold of yourself. You're frightening the students."
Kitty sat down on the floor abruptly. "The world is....inside out?" she squeaked.
[Blink]
Vakkler hears Jiminy's words and manages to stop babbling, though he's still shaking. "...yes. Sun's out. No need to frighten the Agarthians. They like the sun. Be fine. Yes."
Running towards the school is a humanoid shaped being. It is moving very quickly so it is hard to get any details on it exactly. Once in front of the school it stops. It is wearing a very odd style of armor, that is grey and white. On its back is a massive shield and on its side is a sword. It than starts to stare at the school, seeming to noticed things.
It than says somethings that is unclear, before not moving. After not moving at all for a few moments it picks up its head slightly before starting to move once again. It walks up to the door before opening it slowly. Once inside the school it, picks its head up once more before starting to walk through the school looking around as it goes.
Enre shrugs "Have to relax, getting upset will just make a lot of things worse."
"Worse."
Vakkler growls. "How do things get worse now, hm? Can you answer that, musclehead?"
Enre laughs "If you want to think that I am a muscle head feel free to. But you should know I am much more intelligent that people give me credit for. To answer your question, if the teacher who is suppose to be a support pillar to the students is scared, how do you think the students will react? Or give you a better example how would the citizens of a country react, to find out there leaders or frightened?"
"There's nothing wrong with my eyes, Nadya," Jiminy says, glaring at her, without changing his eyes back to a human appearance. "They're perfectly normal eyes."
"There's probably going to be a lot of people trying to deal with agoraphobia in the next few days and weeks. Most of the people native to this world have never seen a real sky before. The important part is not to panic. It's not as exposed as it seems like and no, you are not going to fall off the world. Gravity still works just fine. Things to remember the first time you go outside. Professor Relkav already had agoraphobia before this, so he's not going to want to go outside at all...or look out any windows."
Talking seems to be helping Jiminy calm down at least a little.
"It's not the space that bothers me so much as the sun," Vakkler says, scowling. Being annoyed helps him keep from being scared. "That's what's going to be bothering a lot of creatures and people. Most kobolds have never been in more than dim lamp light, and that was only when they needed to see color. The light is half the reason the kobolds and Agarthians went to war in the first place."

"Are you sure it isn't just because kobolds are naturally cranky? Er...don't tell my brother-in-law I just said that..."
"Mr. Keaton, do you have any more insight on the situation?" Krays asks his homeroom teacher, trying to get some conversation going in hopes to replace fear with knowledge.
The being looks down at the arrow than picks up its head once more. It than says something in a very odd language. It than looks towards the arrow than another way. It than takes something out of its a compartment near its waist. It seem to be a little ball, it than throws the ball and it changes into a little bird. The being says something in the odd language once again before following the arrow, while the bird goes the other way.
The bird keeps going until it finds a room, it than starts to watch all those inside carefully.
"Mr. Keaton, do you have any more insight on the situation?" Krays asks his homeroom teacher, trying to get some conversation going in hopes to replace fear with knowledge.
"We should have enough time to prepare. We have powerful people here on Agartha that can do plenty to route any would-be invaders. The Seers alone would be able to give us warning days in advance." Keaton replies. "Also, while our world has changed our gods have stayed the same. We still have all the thing necessary to put up more than a fight."
The being looks up at the plaque. Out of its eyes come a odd blue light, the being than in a very deep voice says "Headmaster, leader of teachers. So this is a school good." The being than opens the door. It looks around the room before looking at whoever is, in the room.
The being spies a man looking out a window at the night sky. The man, cloaked in red robes, turns to face the being.
"I am Headmaster Ryo. What can I help you with?" The man asks tiredly.
The being stands in a stance that Headmaster Ryo, finds very familiar he than says in his deep voice "I am, General Caedes. I am here to inquire of my youngest brother. I do not know his name, but I know he is in this school." Caedes than moves to removes his helmet. When done taking it off, you are taken back because the face looking at you is Enre's. There are a few difference however the biggest is the scar over Caedes' right eye.
"Well, General, what is it you need of him?"
"Well, General, what is it you need of him?"
"I wish to know if he is overly violent or if he tries to hurt anyone for no reason."
"He's tried to put a stop to fight he wasn't even in to start with. Only when attacked has he fought back. I don't think you have anything to worry about if you are worried about whether or not he has a violent nature."
"That doesn't say anything about whether we can win," Ursula said nervously, kicking Bradley before he could say something stupid again.
"A wonderful observation, Ursula. I cannot say if we will when or not yet because I know next to nothing about this Dragon Empire. Which deity or deities do you think would be useful in finding out more?"
"I wouldn't say you aren't smart, Bradley. You've been going through the different deities, and that shows forethought. Now, who can tell me why Nemesis is considered unreliable and Victorionus considered weak?"

"Huh?" Bradley looks confused. "I'm not smart...but with the terrible luck I've been having I figured it couldn't hurt to pray, but that wasn't working so I thought maybe I had the wrong deity, you know? So I figured I'd try a different one. I've been at it for a while now," he continued, pulling out a large key ring full of holy symbols, "but I still haven't found the right one...but I'll keep trying!"
"He's tried to put a stop to fight he wasn't even in to start with. Only when attacked has he fought back. I don't think you have anything to worry about if you are worried about whether or not he has a violent nature."
Caedes looks utterly shocked after hearing Ryo explain his younger brother to him. He thinks for a moment before saying "If what you say is true, I would like to meet my younger brother."
"Of course." Ryo says as a screen appears next to him. "Professor Relkav, could you send Enre to my office for a moment? He has a visitor."
Vakkler nods with a scowl. "Nhaésion, you have been called to the office."
Enre looks at Vakkler oddly for a second trying to figure out how he remembered his last name before, standing up and walking to the office. Once at the door he knocks.
Gustav looked at the back-and-forth going on between the kobold teacher and the mysterious student. He had understood the part in Draconic. But not much else.
Keme just lounged in his seat, observing the reactions of the students around him like he didn't have a care in the world. In truth he'd taken a huge power hit over this. He'd get it all back with interest in time, but right now he was feeling more than a little lethargic.
