Levera grumbled and shoved her hands in her pockets. " Let's just get this over with. Despite what you may think I'm not a complete idiot." She pulled a hand out of her pocket and motioned towards the forest as if to say 'you first'.
She didn't particularly like Eraz, but she didn't dislike him either. She understood his reasons for giving him detention, but that didn't mean she had to like them.

Levera opened her mouth to make an innopropriate, snarky comment. But before she could voice her thoughts something flitted in her peripheral vision. She leapt backwards, landing on a mossy rock. Her footing slipped some, but she managed to hold a defensive crouch and pull the wicked looking hunting knife from her boot. In that split second she glanced up and watched Eraz get tackled by a GIANT spider. “ Tyen-ah! Wuh duh ma huh tah du fong kwong duh wai shung!” She growled.

That was a mistake, the spider turned it's gaze on her and Levera blanched. “ Shion mai nio!!” She mumbled to herself as she looked around. There! A low hanging branch. Levera put the knife in her mouth, lept up and grabbed the branch, then pulled herself up in one smooth move. She stood up on the branch, balancing perfectly, studying the Acromantula. Just then the Acromantula launched itself at her. Levera was force to jump up as the Acromantula swat at her. She barely avoided being knocked of the branch and had to wave her arms to keep her balance.

The Acromantula has misjudged its jump and smashed into a tree. While it was dazed Levera grabbed the hunting knife from her mouth. She held it so that she rested her thumb towards the top of the hilt and crouched low ready to spring. The Acromantula turned around, but this time she was ready. She lept off the branch as the Acromantula came back at her, landing firmly on its back. The coarse fur on the Acromantula's back cut into her hand, but she ignored the pain, opting instead to jam the knife downward.

The giant spider started bucking like a wild bull and the knife ended up jammed into its shoulder. Lever a ended up hanging onto the knife for dear life. Her free arm flailed wildly back and forth and Levera flopped against the Acromantula, dazed. She forced herself to come back to her senses and gripped back onto the Acromantula fur, her fingerless glove had been ripped to shreds and her hand was now bleeding, but she held on.

Levera finally got her bearings and managed to reach down into the side pocket of her pants and pull out her wand, “ EXPRIMO!” She tried, recalling it was a weak spell, but praying it would cause some damage. Instead of forcing all of the Acromantula's innards out, it just seemed to annoy him more. Suddenly she had a brilliant....or a not so brilliant....idea. “ INCENDIO!” She screamed, then leapt backwards off the Acromantula. She had no idea where she was jumping though and managed to slam into a giant rock. The wind knocked out of her and she smashed her head hard. Levera blacked out for a second and then came to, she could feel blood trickling down the back of her head. Her vision cleared in time for her to see the now flaming Acromantula run
towards her. Levera raised her wand again, “ F....FLIPPENDO!” She shouted, but the spell was unfocused and only managed to trip the spider up. “ I...Immobolis...” she tried weakly, but didn't get the chance to see if the spell had worked or not before she fell to the ground, out cold.

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.”

Levera came to in time to see the spells that Eraz had used to kill the spider. They were...incredible. It was battle magic like she couldn't even comprehend. She watched fascinated as the spider was impaled on the flying spike.

Suddenly Eraz became a lot more interesting. She would have to figure out ways to get closer to him, get him to teach her his magic. Then maybe she could take on Ferreus, get him the hell out of her head. With that thought she struggled to her feet. Her head spasmed and she almost collapsed, but she forced herself back to her feet. The world span for a second, but she forced her vision to focus.

She sauntered as casually as she good with how woozy she felt over to the Acromantula. Levera brushed past Eraz and bent down to pick up her hunting knife. She wiped it clean on the leg of her jeans and then tucked it into her boot. Then she turned back to walk over to Eraz. “ Well that was entertaining. What else do you have planned? I don't think you can top a giant flaming spider.” She stumbled over a branch on the ground as she said that last bit. She was too woozy to regain her footing and stumbled into Eraz.

Oz picked his way down the trail to the Forbidden Forest, looking back over his shoulder at Lucy, smiling at her. "You should try to keep up," he teased. "It can get a little dangerous down here so we should stick together. Close together," he said and winked at her.

Oz smiled when she took his hand and pecked him on the cheek. The sun was starting to set and it made beautiful light in the sky. He looked up at the sky, then down at Lucy. "The sky is beautiful, isn't it? Not more beautiful then you, though," he said as if it were a widely known truth. He kissed her cheek and pointed towards the forest. "Wanna go deeper?"

Sigmund drew into visual range of the voices and spotted two students canoodling on the path. Perfect, two new recruits for the army, he thought to himself and glanced up at the sky, waiting for the sun to fully set and the full moon to arise.
