Rowan's flats clicked against the grey cement. She walked in between pillars, shuffled through students, and up stairs. 

Rowan slowly opened the door, and a warm feeling consumed her body. The room was infested with flying books, bright colored liquids in different containers, and floating chairs. 

She looked around, and spotted her teacher at the front of her room. 

"Ah," Mr. Millen said, "Rowan, you've arrived early."

"What?" Rowan looked at the clock; she still had about 45 minutes until class started.

"OH," Rowan shouted, not realizing how early she was, "I'm so sorry! I didn't r-realize how early I-I was!"

Mr. Millen laughed, causing Rowan's face to turn red in embarrassment. Mr. Millen had an inviting smile on his face, and calmed Rowan down.

"How about you go relax for a bit? I think I saw Thomas hanging around one of the Floral Benches, first floor." Mr. Millen took the homework from Rowan's hands, and walked back to his desk. 

"Thank you..." Rowan whispered, rushing outside of the class.

Rowan walked down the stairs, and heading to the Floral building. 

The Floral building was the place where elective classes took place. The most popular electives there were Drama and Cooking. Thomas and Rowan took Floral Design.

Red horn topped with a halo stood on the head of a peach skinned boy. He had copper hair with freckles all over his body. His eyes had bandages covering them, blocking his stare that could kill a person. He could still see out of them of course, but nobody knew his beautiful eye color except Rowan. She was immune.

Thomas saw Rowan, and smiled at her outfit. He patted the seat next to him, motioning Rowan to sit. 

Rowan tucked her skirt under her thighs as she sat, and gave Thomas a hug. 

"Hey there," Thomas greeted Rowan, "Did you do the homework for Mr. Millen?" 

"Yes, but I already turned it in. Even if I didn't I wouldn't have let you copy."

"You say that every time, but you never stick with it." Thomas laughed, gaining a playful punch from Rowan.

More and more people started to cross through the Floral building, making Thomas become more timid. He never liked crowds, especially if they don't have familiar faces in them.

Rowan put her arm around Thomas's shoulder, calming him down. 

"So, how was your weekend?" Rowan tried to distract Thomas from all of the booming voices, echoing off the walls.

"My dad and I went to Slen Creek. We even saw the souls swimming at the bottom." 

His father was God himself. While God and his wife were at a meeting in the Volcano realm (commonly known as Hell), his wife gave birth there, causing Thomas to gain his pointy red horns and his killer stare. It took him 5 years to gain his halo back in heaven. 

Slen Creek was the infamous place where all the souls of the dead were collected. Souls don't travel with the dead to Heaven or Hell, so they stay at Slen Creek. The pure souls float at the top of the water, collecting the sunshine and being able to see the beautiful animals who gather by the water. The broken souls stayed at the bottom, having the filth being collected on them.

"My mother would never let me go," Rowan pouted.

The bell rang, and all of the students rushed to their class.

----------------------------------

So that's the end, BUT I want to give a little more information on Eudokian's homes. So... here ya go :D

Sun realm: Mother Nature Sophia is the ruler of this realm, and Rowan is the adopted Princess of Mother Nature. Whenever somebody becomes Queen, they gain the title of Mother  Her job as queen is to bring life to all plants and animals, but of course there is a LOT of more jobs to do. This includes not breaking the peace between the Sun realm and Thunder Realm, making sure to collect the souls after somebody dies, etc. 

Thunder realm: God Tonk is the ruler of this realm. Thomas's mother died in the war between the sun and thunder realm. This took place about a month after Thomas was born. Whenever somebody becomes king, they gain the title of God. People make the mistake of thinking that Mother Nature also controls the weather, but God is actually the one who does. That is why the Sun and Thunder Realm must stay peaceful; they balance each other out.

I will provide more information on the rest of the realms (there are 6 realms in total) when we meet more characters. See you next time :D
