The train made the last stop in the Lunaville Station. All those who aboarded were happy to arrive at the new place for new experiences, or returning back home after spending a life time away from their homalands. Some had returned just to keep the scheludes in receive new students within the Academy, make stock on shops or special souvenir places. The things happened just too quick...people, creatures, another civilization ones, and some other foreigner ones that might be not the most common around the verses.
Or around different cities or towns worldwide and versal.
However, the train has two characters that had arrived at last ones.
A goat like monster wearing green-yellow stripped turtleneck and brown leggings; and a white like small creature irradiating light.
The monster was carrying a small package with a few items he brought or bought while outside underground. The white creature just keep over the head of the monster.
"Well, this is it" the goat mentioned, named Asriel Dreemurr., the only son in the Dreemurr lineage "We might had arrived at the last place that might help me in discover what means be a royal one; and perhaps know something about your species"
- * -- --- * * - [Y O U]
- **** ** -* -*- ? [T H I N K ?]
The creature illuminated itself making long periods off and sparkling ones. Like speaking morse-like language.
"Perhaps...just cross your finger" Asriel mentioned a bit worried.

Pearl had arrived to the train station to pick up new students who arrived. She looked around to see if any faces from the photos she saw were amount the crowd. Some folks walked pass her, going about their normal lives.
"Excuse me." Pearl said. "Pardon me."
She moved out of the way for some of them. She noticed two creatures getting off of the train, a small goat like being and a little creature. The creature may be the goat's pet or familiar. After all, there have been students who brought one of the two with them. While not allowed in most schools, Yuko, the headmistress, never saw any harm as long as the little ones behavior. Plus the goat seemed pretty young and no adults seemed around the greet him.
Even if he wasn't a student, Pearl couldn't help herself but to go help him out. The feeling of a mother after helping to raise Steven had grown on her over the years.
"Pardon me." Pearl started, hoping she wouldn't scare the goat and the little creature, "Are you two lost? I couldn't help but notice you were here alone. My name is Pearl. I'm a teacher at Arcane Magia Academy."
She figured it would be best to explain who she was and her job. After all, he may be a student. The school had been known to get animal like students along with magic and non magic users.

Asriel and the light creature were so busy attending things about where to go next, that they didn't waited for a person to approach. However, they didn't startle in fear or similarities; yet remain calm when the gem presented to them. The Light Creature looked upon the girl-like human with curious eyes.
*-- **** --- < W H O >
-- ** --* **** - < M I G H T >

"Em...you can only call me Asriel if you prefer" then, being a bit more childlish in response by scratching his chin due shy.

The Light being just sighed. As laid over Asriel's head bored.

Royal? Monsters? Pearl knew of monsters, rather they be half monsters, full, or could shape shift into them had come to the school before but some of it was a bit confusing. Maybe Yuko would know a bit better on what was going on. But still, the child and the little one seemed pretty harmless, if anything a little shy. She could tell the two never heard of Gems before but that wasn't a large surprise. After all, most gems, to Pearl's knowledge, were corrupted after the events of the Gem war.
"Well, it's very nice to meet to Asriel." Pearl said kindly, "If you're here to learn than I can show you and your friend here to the school. I'm sure that is the place that would be most helpful in your quest."
If what Asriel said was true, than Pearl figured the school would be the best place to help him out.

Asriel coughed loud while presenting. He didn't expect use his royal title so soon and, after all, at some surface dweller like the Gem he is looking at (still looking her as a human-like). The Light being didn't bother in interfere of talk again on Morse with sparkles around its body. Yet stare at Peal with curious eyes. No one in Nibel's watch has such anatomy around yet she might be some kind of guardian or summoned one...because it didn't look as a human at all.
"Of course, I speak with all the intention and truth at you. Madam....?" asking at Pearl for her name, due be very unpolite said her Miss all the time or Ma'am.

Pearl smiled.
"My name is Pearl." Pearl explained.
She knew she had mentioned her name before when asking if the two needed help but figured the young one didn't hear it at first. No matter through. She was just glad to see the goat creature trusted her already.

Asriel wasn't sure if heard the name once, but after the light being whispered to the ear he was very on shame by not caught that on the beginning. And caused the human-like repaated her name unneccesary towards him. However, he needed to be someone which monster can trust in all moment. Even if he is extremely scared for what is he trying to accomplish by being in Lunaville with the help of the small creature like companion he had; albeit be on the same position as Asriel, the creature was a mysterious entity known as Nibel's offspring. A Light-Creature which born thanks at the fatherhoodlike of Nibel's tree.
"It is an honor meet you" Asriel presented to her with polite manners "We were expecting find the school known as Arcana Magi Academy. At least is what people on surface said about, I travel alongside Ori" the small creature raised its tiny hand to say 'hello' on Pearl. "Can you give us any information about the ubication of the school? According to the eardroppings, its must be around the station of Lunaville...am I right?"

Pearl nodded at Asriel's question. For someone who seemed to be very young, Asriel was very polite and even very smart for his age with some of his word chooses. And since he was looking into the school, she thought it was only right to lean his a helping hand and show him the way.
"Yes, you're correct. If you want, I can take you both to Arcana Magi Academy." Pearl said politely. "I just arrived from there myself."

Asriel and Ori were rather in a luck breach...that was a very lucky guess from them in talk with the human-like known as Pearl standing in front them; however, they were expecting some kind of trap or any sort of fraud coming around. Only Ori, Asriel didn't crossed that idea in mind. The light being just watched the small movements and any detail on Pearl that might put them on danger for being robbed, assaulted or in the worst cases, taken as hostages...Asriel might be very honorable and smart in words, but he is just a kid only. And by announce as the Prince of Monsters, had already put his fur in danger.
May someone from the station had heard him...and in the bad way. Ori just hoped there were no danger ahead.
Even Asriel noticed the movements of him over his head.
"Ow! Ori. Hold still. What is it!?" Asriel asked

Pearl noticed the movement of the smaller creature out of the corner of her eye. She originally, wondered if something had spooked the little guy. But noticing how nervous Asriel had gotten after Ori had spoke in a type of language she couldn't fully make out made her deeply concern. Did Ori see something he felt part Asriel in some form of danger at Pearl didn't notice?
"Is everything alright?" Pearl asked, almost in a motherly tone.

Ori looked beyond the people around not convinced in being totally alone about being in fact, in a not secure place, may inside the Academy they might have protection but presenting as royalty had put them in grave danger.
"I do not know...but Ori said there might be someone who can hurt on me..." Asriel started to sniff as small tears came from his eyes "...I do not want to be damaged...I just want to go at the Academy...." start to sob "...and try to not be more a crybaby...so, I can help my community as their new king after my father's....demise...."
Ori felt worried for Asriel as pat his head to soothe him.
"...sorry, by looking at my cries...I cry for everything...." Asriel looked on Pearl but avoid looking at her again by look down, her motherly speech remembered on him at her mother...and he has the urge in hug her...but it was very unpolite and more from a stranger like her. He just stayed there.

Pearl's eyes widen, feeling worried and bad for the child. She could tell Asriel didn't mean any harm and saw no reason on why he thought he would. Plus the mentioned of losing a love one...it was a feeling Pearl was all to familiar with. While it wasn't a parent like Asriel, it was someone close to the Gem she loved dearly.
Without even thinking, Pearl carefully hugged Asriel. Something she had grown to do whenever Steven were to feel bad. All she saw right now was a little kid sad and possible even scared.
"It's alright..." Pearl whispered, "You have nothing to apology for. And I promise, I don't allow anyone to hurt you or Ori."

Asriel embraced her almost immediately as it was his natural mother; it was so long since he felt such love from someone that is not a parent of his or any monster-like; Ori just stayed there. Knowing how hard Asriel lived through complete years without his father-like figure underground. Yet the courage to find a solution to his problem, motivate the little creature to follow the prince wherever he goes. And by eardrop about the Academy it was a great point to take. They might have the required for each of them.
Ori had just left his homelands just to explore...nothing else...but decided to stay with Asriel as companion and close surface-dweller friend.
Asriel let Pearl to clean his eyes from the sweater sleeves...as take again the suitcase like luggage.
"I would like to go at he Academy. To fullfil my duty as next hier, but first I need to learn how to be one" Asriel, still sad, said on Pearl with a determinate personality on him. While Ori just remain there by say no word.
"Oh! By the way...Ori speaks no language known...but uses one similar as Morse...just advising"

The hug was soon broken up. Pearl cleaned the tears from Asriel's eyes carefully and, with his permission of course, helped him with his luggage.
"Well, I could help you sign up to become a student of Academy." Pearl said, "I work there myself and I'm sure Headmistress Yuko would be more than willing to help as well. The school is always welcome to those who wish to learn."
Pearl looked at Ori a bit once Asriel mentioned him. That explains the odd language.
"I see. That explains a lot. I must admit, I've never seen anything like him before." Pearl said, sounding a bit sheepishly. She was so used to knowing a lot of information at hearing this caught her a bit off guard. Through she tried not to show it to Asriel and Ori.

Asriel didn't give enough rounds...normally he had to say more than once what Ori can said before people could get it. However, looking a monster on the surface caught some elders out of guards. According to legends, besides the monsters roaming the surface yet considered creatures or by its status hostile creatures, there was a small story about prime humans who fought in a war eons of the past. Defeating the other race and jailing it underground...but they were rather surprised to see such things around...and as the war didn't fill all holes of anger and despise against each race, the humans looked on Asriel and Ori all the travel at Lunaville with bad eyes...
Asriel didn't focus on it. However, Ori was much aware about the situation...and if there is any history book that can give at him some answer about why humans despise monster so much, may he would understand better his companion position.
"Alright. we are ready to go at the Academy" Asriel said, however, he couldn't stop imagine he already mentioned the following.
*- *** *-* ** * *-**
-*** * - - * *-*
-*-- --- -* - ** -* **- *
(ASRIEL, BETTER CONTINUE)
"Oh, of course. Miss Pearl...would you be so kind to guide us towards the school?" Asriel smiled at the gem, still unknowing its a gem at all.

Pearl smiled at Asriel's question. She would be more than happy to help the two get to the school safely. Sure, part of it could be counted as her job as a teacher but it was also do to her wish to be useful to people she meet. Or, monster, in Asriel's case.
"Of course. It would be my honor." Pearl said.

Asriel just smiled big. It was a few days since someone like Ori was nice on him. He felt rather welcoming aside Pearl. As have a deep feeling in find all the answers he might be asking to find. However, some are still unknown for the little one.
Ori might have much knowledge about the world that surrounded them; however, he still be a child like Asriel in the aspect of discover new things related at certain things around the worldwide and versal. As have the reason in travel alongside the prince to learn as well.

"Miss Pearl...do you know if there are more monsters coming from the underground like me? Or you have no idea what I am talking about?" Asriel dareasaid on Pearl while walking out of the Train Station, Ori was a bit curious about the response of the woman alongside them.
Perhaps the world ain't so big. And perhaps someone is aware about more creatures and monsters alike nowadays.

"Well, I admit, the Underground isn't familiar to me. But there have been any different creatures come here through out and I believe there are two students who can shape shift into skeletons." Pearl explained.
She had looked over some information on the new students the school would get this year. Pearl wanted to make sure she would know what to get ready for when it came to students' powers in case they turned out to be trouble makers. Or cause damaged to the school like a certain fire element user she was all too familiar with.

"Alright...I guess..." Asriel wasn't sure about the last point. It is truth about the underground has a few skeleton-like monsters living around but with beings shape-shifting to skeletons didn't convince him entirely. However, he decided to ask later for any details about them...his main priority is go at the Academy to register with Ori and start, if its possible visit the library of the installations, about certain information about how to be a king or what steps need a king before rule.

Pearl guild the two as they were heading to the school. She was sure Yuko would allow Asriel to become a student. After all, it wasn't the first time a child traveled all the whole to the city on their own and register on their own. Through she made a note in her mind to try to see if she could content Asriel's mother so she knew where Asriel was at. Pearl couldn't image how worried the goat's mother may have been.

Asriel knew deep inside himself there was going to be a problem. And a big one if his mother realizes where he was already. Yet it had passed may a week since he escaped from the underground to travel over surface.
Seeking the knowledge he said towards Pearl. Nevertheless, he misses be with her mother that might notice he wasn't at her side anymore, or not due be the new queen of monsters due duty be more focus on monsters' demands.
While Ori, he has small confidence that might nothing is happening to Nibel's Tree...so he can continue his travel in tranquility.

Pearl continued to guild the two through the city towards the school. Some parts seemed like most cities would in be the modern days but there were a lot of flowers and plants around the area. While the cars used in the streets were modeled after the early 20th century style cars rather than the current styles ones. To some folks, it could seem like something from an old fashion movie/fairy tail mixed with modern age elements.

Everything was new or rather new for the goat monster and the Light Being. The city was quite a new experience on life; yet it may contain some things that they had encountered outside Lunaville. May some vehicles and structures where new to them but great part was easy to detect. As point with such confidence. As little kids discovering their world outside the illustrated books that children used to read and play before walking or talking.
Asriel felt himself in a new world. As look on the different creatures and humans around the area.
Ori jumped off Asriel's head by going to diverse points as teleport over the lightpost; or signs to have a complete view of the city...yet without leaving Asriel behind or be late, Yet, the urges to separate from Pearl and go on his own were too big to handle. He started to walk more slower as stay behind Pearl to not lift suspects...just as a child who want to discover more. Ori just followed Asriel wherever he was planning to go...

The world around Asriel and Ori looked very different from the other cities and villages they got into before get into the train where Lunaville was one of the many stops. It continues to neighborhood areas or towns around the map of the region; however, the prince and light being were more focused in arrive at the town they are already..
Yet they couldn't miss the opportunity to search around the place; it was very appreciated from Pearl in guide them around the streets, looking the vehicles, buildings and the folks walking from point A to point B; wherever it was a Point B to them. If not, there was normal see people wander in different points. However, as children they separated from the teacher to search for adventures, or mysteries or anything special while visit the town.
Perhaps it might be easy find a quick route at the Academy yet they were unsure and unaware about the terrain, avenues and streets Lunaville had to offer to the new ones. And more to a young prince and a light being who likes curiosity badly.
Asriel had not many money with him, just a few pieces of gold. Pure gold. The currency of the underground monsters is common as the surface dwellers. Yet the gold they have its highly valuable. Even a small piece of it. While Ori, has nothing yet has a keen eye for anything brilliant and shiny. The last he could found, and only thing, it was a rare ring
![]()  (Facecalms: MostBeautifulThings.com)
"Come on, Ori!" Asriel spoke at Ori. "Perhaps there is a place where you can sold the ring to have a few money to spend here...I would like to preserve my gold for something rather more serious"

"Do you remember where we way at the last point she was?" Asriel said, as Ori nodded a bit confused "The only thing we can do is go at that place, and go straight foward as we were doing before"
Ori had the small urge to facepalm himself. It was official...Asriel is still too young to wander under his own. Yet, the only thing he can do was accompain him Ori blames himself in play the same game of the prince, as the adventurous behavior he plays along too.
He just waited this little child-adventure does not startled Pearl.

Pearl glanced back and quickly noticed the two had disappeared. Worried and fear grow into her. Some students were older teens and would have been fine on their own but Asriel and Ori seemed most younger to Pearl. Plus, with talk of this Underground place Asriel mentioned and how he never been to Lunaville before...Pearl worried he and Ori could easily get lost and end up something completely dangerous for them. Or end up running into something like a corrupted Gem.
"Asriel?! Ori?!" Pearl called out in worried.
She started to walk around, hoping to spot them around the crowd. Through in her mind, Pearl was be-litting herself for failing to notice the two had ran off sooner.

"Ori, come on!" Asriel said at the light-being that its catching up with him while teleporting small time lapses while looking around the corners; as look at the people who might care less about them due be some newcomers who can deal with the thing around, or their parents are nearby. So they didn't think in the possibility they are lost or just having fun away from their elders.

Ori gasped by using to much his power to stay on Asriel's head. As he was too tired for the little adventure
"Sorry, Ori...I didn't mean to push you all the way here" Asriel apologized with the tired light-being "Better return back...." he said until see the new place with curious as afraid eyes "...yes...this might be the way towards the road Pearl was walking through...Right...?" he had no idea where to go. Yet, he tried to not cry for that. "Come on, Asriel...you can do it. Just walk backwards at the last street you was before."
Yet, all streets looked the same to him.
He gulped as walked around feeling rather more scared. With the urges to cry and hide in the first spot around. Yet, he stayed on a cool attitude...And with Ori rest over his head, things cannot turn worse.

Pearl continued to look for the two. Worried about them and if they were alright. After all, the city was a big place and could be over willing to some newcomers if they hadn't been in a huge city before. While most citizens were friendly, they most likely wouldn't realize the truth between Asriel and Ori. And if the two ended up closer to the forest...
She kept calling out their names, hoping they would hear her soon.

It had passed some minutes since Asriel and Ori separated from Pearl to seek any adventure around the big city, yet they start to regret the decision Specially Asriel in do such childlish movement. It is understandable on them. To be children, they tend to look anything new as a way to have fun without the reality within. To children, its fun and discoverment. However, it seems their fun had ended into a great hole like nightmare where they are discovering for first time what the word 'unknown'.
Asriel had the experience when abandon the underground while escaping from the once called home he left behind. Yet, the experience didn't gave at him a positive way to encounter the things around the city, nor the ones coming from a total and different one than the one he got habitatuated before. Ori, in the other side of the coin, may have a bit more mature behavior for his problem he had while young inside Nibel's territories...
A goat monster who can easy break down and cry due anything that might be threateningly or unknown to him. And a light being that is scared to discover what lies in certain places. Mostly where light cannot shine.
The children walked all around the city by find no exit as getting more and more inside in dark alleys...they were unsure what they might have...Ori had the desire in leave but he cannot left Asriel behind. Yet, the still-young prince was under his last dews of bravery before crying for help. In the literal expression.
Ori's hearing senses twitched.
