A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.

Mission III
Location:Forest
Time: 24:47:50
The shadows of the night appear once the moon is at its peak and it seemed like the only way to connect more with the powers I had was to be part of the natural side of it. Not all things can be solved by science and logic, sometimes you have to seek the answers in the supernatural. While I walked through the woods, I was guided only by the moonlight and the shadows to the heart of the forest.
Finding a clearing, I looked to see the area I was led into. A flat rock was in the center of the whole clearing, somehow making it look important. The trees surrounding the area were old and tall, each having a significantly more amount of leaves then the ones at the entrance. Walking towards the flat rock, I talked to myself.
"Being in the depths of the darkness, perfect. I have to face it head on."
I knew that I was probably becoming crazy, doing many crazy things to end he hold the darkness has on me. Maybe I belong to the darkness, but that has yet to be seen.

 While Alex looked to synchronize himself with the shadows, another just wanted to detach from it. Off to the right and hanging under the shadows was Kevin, nodding his head to the beat that pumped through his headphones. He couldn't sleep and decided to creep out of the dorms to just unwind outdoors. It was a luxury he couldn't afford prior to coming here...before, when anything weighed on his mind or kept him up, his mother would just tell him to go to bed. Pray on it, she said. Not that Kevin didn't believe in praying away his issues, he simply found it easier to do so when he could look up to the sky instead of a ceiling.
So he sat in the dirt, zoned out until Alex came into his view. Kevin didn't even pay it any attention at first, his senses so unfocused that he was on a proverbial autopilot. It eventually registered that somebody roaming the forest in the middle of the night wasn't normal, and the sudden awareness made Kevin's hairs stand on end. "Yo," he said in a dull tone. Kevin felt he'd seen this kid once, though nowhere specific came to mind. Long legs and arms pushed off the dirt to stand up; Kevin dusted off his behind before he put his back to a nearby tree.
"Insomnia? Or is there some Blair Witch-type shit out here I ain't know about?" Kevin smirking afterward gave away that he was joking...at least, he hoped it was.

I looked over to the kid and wondered if he was part of the student body. You don't always see some guy in the forest in the middle of the night blending in with the shadows and that "Yo" he said gave me the impression that he was some sort of street kid who got into trouble and had to serve his sentence at this school...but one never knows when one's first impression could be a false impression. As I looked at the kid, I wondered if he was having problems of his own, but one thing was for certain, that I was most likely "some guy in the forest in the middle of the night blending in with the shadows" in his mind. I also knew that just standing here and wondering what the boy was doing wasn't going to change anything.
"You can say that I just didn't want to sleep tonight and that I'm out here trying to find an answer to my problems," I told the kid. Normally I would have introduced myself, but his question didn't require an introduction. Hopefully, he would introduce himself and explain what he is doing this late in the woods.

There was something about the forest that drew them all in...and it was more than just the instructions NOT to go there. Kevin didn't know much about the spiritual nature of things or the supernatural...but something was here that attracted those who needed to hide from their demons, even if for a time. Alex wanted answers, and Kevin just needed somewhere to empty himself out for a while. Kevin didn't plan on socializing, but maybe they'd find a bit of both in each other?
"What's the issue, bruh?" Kevin asked as he folded his arms over his chest. His accent was thick, and to anyone who didn't know this was his first year here, Kevin could've been mistaken for yet another District survivor. The faux New York slur coated his words like a glaze as he continued. "Speak on that shit let it free and it might open ya to them answers."

Now he really sounded like someone who knew his street smarts. He tells me to talk about my problem, so I think about it. This guy...maybe he could actually help me. Could the wisdom of a guy who has faced life in the modern street of cities have a key to solving the conflict I have with the darkness? There was only one way to find out.
“My problem is that I still have a fear of the dark, I fear my own shadow,” I calmly told him. When people say they fear the dark, they think about a person getting scared when someone turns off the lights. I read a book earlier in the year titled “The Encyclopedia of Anxiety Disorders,” which talked about the many different types of anxiety disorders. It didn’t interest me much, but what did interest me was the last 5 pages of the book, which listed the many types of phobias. From that list, there would be two words that would describe the fears I have now: Achluophobia, fear of darkness and Sciophobia, fear of shadows. But there was one problem: I didn’t fear the dark, nor the shadows that the light made, I feared my inner darkness.
Walking in the direction of the man, I leaned on a nearby tree that was close to him and then started speaking.
“But before we start chatting, what might your name be?”

Can't get all deep and philosophical until names get exchanged, right?
A small breeze kicked up after Alex admitted to his troubles, laying a heaviness to his words. It was symbolic, the winds seeming to sway Kevin's mind from thinking of this in a physical sense. His eyes lowered to the ground, watching leaves roll by his feet in the wind. What, you spooked by yaself or somethin'? Was it this kid's way of alluding to how strong he was, that he was scared of his own power? Sure, he was familiar with the phrase as a form of bragging, but he couldn't relate otherwise.
Then again, Kevin wasn't old enough or experienced enough to understand true power...or the cost of having it.
Before he could inquire further, Kevin was asked for his name. Fair enough. "Kevin. Kevin Alvari. I'm a freshman, got here just after the school moved." Kevin looked up and that was when it clicked---the assembly. This motherfucker...he had some weird outburst in the auditorium! The sudden realization made Kevin's right eyebrow raise momentarily before he pushed the thought aside. Strange to think that a kid that goofy was suddenly dealing with an issue like this.
"Whaddya mean, though?" Kevin's question might have come off with a bit of disbelief, but he really wanted to know where Alex was coming from. Kevin didn't comprehend what Alex meant and was genuinely curious. "I mean, what about it scares you?
"I mean, it's just a part of you, ain't it?"

“Alex Dragon, Dark Knight of 552,” I said after the guy stated his name, Kevin. I’d have to memorize that name so I don’t forget. There was a slight breeze that came into the area, making my hair move in the direction of the wind. Leaves flew around a bit before falling into the grassy floor of the forest, waiting for another breeze to come in and take them elsewhere. As Kevin asked a question, I replied after a few seconds of silence.
“It's not just a part of me....It’s like I unleashed the very embodiment of evil into this world.”
Shadow was the evilest person I have ever met, but knowing that he is my dark side scares me. I never knew that I had such a destructive person in me, such power, but I didn’t want an innocent person like him to experience the events that I have caused when the darkness takes over me. I have a promise to keep, and I don’t intend to break it.
“I posses a power that can cause chaos. If i showed you what I meant, you’d be hurt in the process and I cannot let that happen. As Defender, I must protect the student body and others, not harm them.”

The Dark Knight has a fated encounter with...the Freshman? I need a coolass nickname, man. Fuck.
Alex didn't say too much, and yet it was all a lot to take in. He heard of people having dark sides, or split personalities or just being bipolar. Was Alex's problem something like this? Fortunately, it seemed like Kevin wouldn't find out tonight...not that it didn't make him any less curious. "Well, least it sounds like ya got it handled...but if it wasn't a problem, I doubt ya ass'd be out here lookin' for them answers." So Alex was here, unveiling his inner demons to a kid who wrestled with past actions...or better yet, inactions.
Speaking of action, Alex mentioned something else that piqued Kevin's interest---"So I take it that'chu became this 'Defender' as a way to balance shit? Maybe put a lil' light on that shadow?" Kevin looked away for a moment, allowing his mind to dance on the thought as a smirk came to his lips. Kevin turned his eyes back to Alex, a little extra glimmer in those hazel hues now. "That's some'n that got a lotta mileage back in that whole District thing, I'm sure."

I thought about what Kevin said. Could it be that i chose to be the defender just to balance my own dark deeds? Another question appeared, but not an answer. When will the answers appear...no, I have to be patient. It was then that I heard the kid talk, disrupting my thoughts, so I decided to continue the conversation.
“Some people tell me that, but the brighter the light gets, the stronger the shadow.”
There is never a way to escape the darkness, unless there is lights surrounding you in all directions, but even then, that wouldn’t be a cure. But then, I heard the word “district” come out of his mouth. That made me start talking yet again.
"So you experienced life in the District, huh? It was harsh, but I wasn’t a defender back then. Back then, I was a puppet for the darkness. People knew me as the Darklord for the dark deeds I did, no, he did. I was trapped inside that darkness, but it kept consuming me. I thought I was done for, but then...his enemy came, the true defender of 552 and defeated him, finally releasing me from his grasp. It was then that I started to fear my own powers. In my pursuit for strength, I opened a gateway for a demon, but I never thought that it would be my own demon. After that, I, well he did the unforgivable, from attempting to hurt the innocent to killing my master, Markus.”
I paused for a moment before continuing what now seemed to be a story.
“By now, you must be wondering who I’m talking about, who’s the ‘he’ in the story I’m telling you about. That ‘he’ is Shadow, my dark counterpart, my dark side, the second soul that resides in me, and the person that comes out whenever I use the darkness.”

"Nah, I wasn't there when it all went down. I just hear enough to know it coulda used all the defenders it could get."
And then Alex went onward, telling his exploits back in the District. It wasn't what happened in Alex's recounting that disturbed Kevin, but who he said was responsible. Jesus...either he's fuckin' with me or this kid's really got split personalities. In Kevin's mind, he believed that whatever "dark side" someone had was a manifestation of a person's psyche that they weren't proud of---certain thoughts and actions that one wanted to act on so badly, it took on its own identity of sorts.
But you can't entirely trust the philosophies of a stoner.
"Fuck, yo," Kevin said, looking back down at the ground and shaking his head. "Shit sounds heavy...at least you airin' it out though, not lettin' it sit there and bottle up. Shit ain't healthy, fam."
