Incline 58: Student Nin

"Well, this isn't too bad." I comment with welcome surprise as I look around at the vast plateau we had been dropped off at. Then, as we started to walk away from the tram station, we were exposed to a familiar sight.

"Why is one of those here...?" Vadei asks in confusion as we and a lot more people stopped to gaze at the warship hovering right by us.

"I want to say it is here for security, but everyone here is already a capable witch..." I answer with a raised brow before we start to make our way around the place. Tables were set up with food and drink as far as the eye could see. Music was already blaring and people were crowding together to dance. Some even showed off by flying as they did so.

"LET ME IN!" Larishazza cheered before she quickly disappeared into the mass of people.

"I intend to join in." Omb adds before he snatches up Tiyanat and drags her into it as well. Her screams only being briefly heard before the party seemed to reach critical mass. Well, except by the table we chose. The reasons being so very clearly foreign to me.

"So, what do we do?" Vadei asks as she taps her feet to the beat of the music.

"I assume we enjoy ourselves." I joke as I get up. Quickly finding my arm occupied by Rose before she seems to lead me elsewhere.

"Come on, my love, let's go find a spot where everyone can see us!" Rose whispers with excited lust.

"Always the centre of attention." I quietly comment with a roll of my eyes. And, I also gulped louder than I spoke as she was indeed insistent that we got somewhere that stood out. I also did not know why I was letting her pull me around like this. One step and I could stop her with no effort at all.

So why was I letting her drag me about like this...?

"There, this should do." Rose tells me as she starts to dance with sharp, striking moves and swivelling hips. Like Larishazza, she did not let anyone forget that as a woman she was built differently. Only, unlike my good friend, she used me as part of her dance. Be it either posing up against me or swinging about my limbs.

I couldn't even get into the rhythm to dance myself as she just kept moving about me. One moment she would be grinding against me with obvious intent and another moment she was gone. And, perhaps, maybe I was too embarrassed to dance as I obviously got quite a few stink eyes. Except from the few other aelenvari here.

They all seemed to look at us with curiosity, at least, when they weren't adding to the mood of the party. Their bulbs fitting in very well with all the lights and flashes. It was as if their kind was built to party. However, their heads weren't the only things adding light to this dark night.

Spells were being shot off into the sky and a great skyscape of green, blue, yellow, red, white and blackish purple formed. But, it was here that I realised that I had a moment to show off. So, when Rose's dancing took her away from my front. I prepared my spell and took advantage of the open space my body granted us.

And I shot my fist into the sky! A gargantuan fireball made of pure magic soaring straight from the tip of my fist. For a moment, it blocked out all the other spells. And, the cheering grew even louder as a result.

I even made sure not to let the circumstances of why bother me. I was just happy to be enjoying the party as much as I could.
