Andrea sunk down against a large stone tomb, hidden from the school and facing the rolling Scottish hills of Hogwarts. She hated a lot of things about school, but it's location was not one of them. Beside her sat her school bag and cloak, the chilly November winds whipping against her flesh through the thin cotton of her uniform shirt. Pale eyes looked out towards the quickly fading sun, it was nearly dusk and her brother still hadn't shown, making it unlikely he would at all. Where as Andrea usually would have been irate, she kept her cool. Since the second eye had opened she had felt far more at ease, she wasn't as agitated and though she still felt the need to amuse herself with the harassing and humiliating of others, she herself could not be as easily stirred. Something in her had been quelled, and while not forgiving her parents, she felt as if she had come to terms with her past. She felt quite free to be honest, as if a burden had been lifted. She was weightless now, nothing was tying her down. Sadly, not even her brother, the sole person she had even known that she trusted inexplicably.

A part of Andrea knew this time would come, her whole life she had seen glimpses of what was to ensue where Max was concerned. She had seen bits and pieces of his future and while she saw grief, love, children, then more grief, she did not see herself. Besides, her brother had taken up with a girl as of recently, a Gryffindor much to Andrea's disgust, but she could take care of Max. Truly take care of him and his troubling condition from what Max had told Andrea. The young Slytherin was Floki's now anyway, Andrea reminded herself, a gentle smile rarely seen dancing on her lips. She didn't trust him completely yet, but he wanted nothing of her accept her willingness to learn. He didn't desire her flesh or affection or even her companionship really and the relief that brought to Andrea was unspeakable. It nearly brought her to tears. She felt as if she found somewhere she could almost feel safe. The irony of this didn't escape Andrea but she couldn't help it. Floki was extraordinary, unlike anyone she had ever met. The things he could teach her . . .

Feeling watched, Andrea looked up to see a pair of dark eyes. Her hand went to her throat, resting on the talisman as was becoming a habit of hers. She wasn't smiling but her face softened considerably upon recognition of her teacher.

Like all true things tied to the Universe, Floki awakened that morning knowing that a purpose fueled him this day. Not always does this happen, maybe once or twice a month at best... the rests of the meaningless waking moments spent drifting, listening to the whispers of things not truly of this world but stuck betwixt. Those chittering voices of monstrous being without form or intentions, giving them an even more hideous drive to their existence.

As usual, on days such as this, the energy currents of the world push and pull him down paths which lead to the most opportune of moments. The ley-lines blaze intricate destinations to the Rotburn male, each one different than the next. Unable to see exactly what they contain, Floki sways in the vortex at a certain point outside the castle walls of Hogwarts. Four split passages splinter away from his form, like shadows at the side of one's peripheral vision, bent and abnormal as the sunlight touches it.

One lead back inside, but since he just left that way, Floki isn't interested in entering again. The next went down to Hogsmeade where he knew the Wilde Jagd, his newest group of followers were spending their time on the task he set ahead of them... this path too he ignored. The last two, one calling to him from the Forbidden Forest and the other trailing towards the gravesite beckon the boy's attention. Here he is torn, and it is purely chance that the wind propels Floki forward across grassy hillocks and pebbled dirt to come upon the monument of those who died in the last war.

A low chuckle leaves the dark haired youth's lips as he spies his pupil resting almost in hiding. Not a foot away does she respond to Floki's presence until he is almost upon her. Startled the female glances upward into his coal black eyes and he shares a smile with the other, the breeze battering at them, yet his orbs remain unblinking, "Your friends tell me you're ready Miss Williams..."

The cold winds blow around Andrea as if to acknowledge the teens as Floki had acknowledged them. Well if their friends of mine, they may not be trustworthy, Andrea wanted to retort but she refrained. She knew what Floki meant, the second eyes. It had opened only recently, a day or two after Andrea had the misfortune of crossing paths with Floki's far less interesting younger brother. It was time to start their second lesson, and this was something Andrea took very seriously. She nodded her agreement and stood, facing Floki as she batted the grass from the back of her wool skirt.

"I would like to believe I am as well." She replied her voice truly calm and without quaking, something she lacked before the eyes opened on her talisman. She didn't say anything after that, she just stood still, pale eys trained on Floki watching t see what he would do next, if her was assessing her himself and what next action of his would lead into their lesson. She wondered what their lesson may be, giving she was already enlightened. Perhaps they would try to practice Astral projection. The thought put the taste of vengeance, sweet and savory in her mouth, making the girl hopeful. A feeling she was sure reflected in her eyes.

Floki only lets his smile widen and nods as he states mysteriously, "I would not be here if you aren't."

He turns, gaze traveling over the sloping hills and castle standing as a testament to all wizarding Britain, then the monument itself. Briefly he ponders on the days before his birth when a similar male with his vision fell at this very place. The hopes and dreams to rise above the world inhabited by muggles snuffed out all because of a single boy... Floki will not fail where HE has. He will begin to dismantle the school far before he even graduates, so it's destruction shall be absolute when he comes for it as a man.

The wind whips irate against his form, bringing him back to the present and reminding the Rotburn that all roads start somewhere. He scans the area once more deeming it fit for their next lesson. Then, Floki raises his hand to her, palm out, "Now, give to me the talisman."

Andrea does as told with out question, unclasping the silver chain from behind her neck and slipping the necklace into her teacher's awaiting palm. Though she does not protest, she immediately notices the talisman's absence and a feeling of loss buds in her chest. The talisman was something she had started to rely upon for comfort. When she had been plagued by night terrors with wandering hands and psychedelic journeys, touching the gates had reassured her of her vengeance, of the knowledge that she would soon learn, of all the gifts Floki was offering her. They had calmed the ocean of anger inside her into black unsuspecting waters under brewing storm clouds, a promise of hard times ahead for those that ventured to her depths.

She watched the metal slide from her pale hand into her slightly darker one, hoping her sadness at parting was covered by her swiftness in doing as told. Andrea was a quick learner and good at following instructions but still, though she loath admit it, Andrea had . . . attachment issues. Usually to inanimate objects such as the talisman or a blanket, strangely enough, as people were often disappointments.

Holding the talisman, Floki lets his fingers run over the golden gates. The Gates of Blasphirium, those massive spiritual doors that keep glorious terrors from spilling so freely into this world without the doctrine of chaos and the order of madness. The portal that leads beyond, yet between as well as beside and beneath. Where none but few can venture and daemons of mindless darkness roam.

With a sighing breath, he slips it into a pocket of his Ravenclaw robes before turning back to Miss Williams. Silently he visually examines her, wondering to the effects of which a Rotburn amulet could have upon a normal living being. She has found a strength within herself. I wonder if it will turn against her one day?

Clearing his mind from all expectations, he simply demands,"Now... show me what you've learned."

Andrea turns away from Floki, stepping out towards the rolling hills and closes her eyes, it takes a moment of focus but then she feels it the energy, the magic, a natural kind belonging solely to the earth distinguishable from that magic which may come from a witch or wizards core. Below it, an underlying current more painful and closer to electricity than the light free flying energy that is magic seeping from the Earth's womb. It's a darker energy that Andrea isn't even sure she can call magic as she can tell it is not of this world, that it is from somewhere far more sinister but whether is was brought here or simply bled into the Earth, Andrea isn't sure. She tilts her head back and relaxes her muscles letting her shoulders slack and her back bow in slightly. That energy that lingers around her tingles not only her skin but her own power, calling out to it.

Andrea imagines the dot on her head from her first lesson, pulling through her chakras and into her own consciousness. It builds for a moments in her crown before dropping soaring through her. A bolt of lightning, bright and quick she is thrown out of her own form and is soon hovering above her vessel. Her spirit is like a feather, light and easy. To Andrea it is far much easier to just be energy, a spirit than a body. Now is not the time to dally she reminds herself firmly as she is pulled closer to the ground.

"Can you see me?" She asks with her mind to Floki as she sways slightly in front of him. Her eyes search his coal like ones for recognition, acknowledgment this was supposed to be happening, that she had accomplished her task well and accurately. Her conscious brushes him even though her body is still as she left it, a cold shell staring out into the setting sun.

Floki turns his head slowly, his dark irises falling on the doubled form of the Slytherin female. His grin widens and brow turns dark with a wicked twist. Stepping forward he reaches out to the translucent form and twists his wrist. Dark magic thrums to life at his beckoning to shoot outward and slam the girl back into her own body.

"Good," He begins as he circles the young pupil huffing for air, "Here is the second lesson though... you may not leave your body without a celestial familiar. How easy was it for me to attack you? Just think if your enemy is strong enough to rip your spirit away from your materialistic form? Yes, we shall move on to the next lesson... do not expect it to get easier from here Mrs. Williams."

Floki comes back to the front, silently congratulating the girl with a sense of pride. Then, he lifts his hands slowly to his own neck and takes off the golden talisman. Without hesitating he holds out the necklace to her...

Andrea comes into her physical form gasping as if all the wind had just been knocked out of her. She forgets how to breathe for a moment, as it is not something required when projected but she soon relearns and her lungs heave a moment. She looks up slightly worried to Floki, hurt more that he'd attack her than the actual attack but it is only a warning, a cautioning to be more careful in the future, that the separation between spiritual and physical could become permanent if she is seen. A look of pride crosses her teacher's face and the knot drawn tight in Andrea's stomach relaxes.

Floki then proceeds to remove his own Talisman and and extend it to her, the gold chain and set of gates more brilliant than her silver set. Something in Andrea is reluctant to take it though, to replace her first chain even though it has already been taken back. She had thought this one belonged to Floki but as the thought ran through her head, her own eyes widened slightly and she took the chain gently, with reverence from his hands. He was giving something to her, something of his own. Andrea couldn't really feel touched about it not knowing well that level of empathy but knew that this was not to be taken lightly.

"I don't." Andrea responds to her teacher's earlier caution of the work load only growing harder. Andrea is stubborn though and has resolved to gain this power, to enact her revenge. She will stand by her decision whatever it takes, whatever the cost.

"Nothing worth having is easily won." She says quietly, mostly to herself as her pale eyes never leave the necklace still in her hands IT reminds her of the hardships to come, of how she will have to push herself harder than she has ever done before but the girl simply steels herself in preparation.

He chuckles lightly, "Wise words from a dead man..."

His orbs settle on the talisman now hanging around the girl in font of him. It looks good there, the golden hue bringing out the natural glow from her skin. These Gates of Blasphirium are much stronger and more powerful than the last set, also more addicting and dangerous. Already Mrs. Willaims shows promise in the ways of the Cursed Priests... he wonders if she'll get what she desires, and what shall inevitably snatch her up in return.

Notes of a flute plays in the distance, a droning off key sound. Floki's eyes see past the lady still collecting herself before him, and across the field he can see a figure smiling back at him with sharpened teeth and bleeding sockets...

There's a reason why the eldest Rotburn male is the only child with black orbs -to pay the price to learn the Priestly secrets of the Wotten of course. And that price is one's very soul.

Floki returns the smirk as the apparition fades away and glance back to his pupil. "You'll know what to do Mrs. Williams. Until next time..." The wind dislodges him from the spot and Floki sways away back up the path and down to Hogsmeade to rally the Wilde Jagd.
