END OF POV

" Aiónia lýtrosi. " said Alaric, surprised by the strange name.

" Yes I'm definitely sure I didn't have you on the sign-up list, a name like that, I would have remembered. " Alaric continued, smiling slightly.

Hope was curious about the boy, he was anything but normal, she listened intently, her eyes fixed on the boy's face, analyzing it.

" Yes, I want to enroll in your school. " Aiónia said calmly, with a slight smile.

" I'm sorry but we can't register like that in our school, only certain students and by recommendation. " Alaric felt there was a misunderstanding.

" I know that this school is different from the others, moreover I find admirable what you do for young people who discover the supernatural, it can be dangerous for themselves and for others not to know how to control themselves, what you you offer in this school is more than security, you offer a semblance of normality, and that's a big deal. " the long black haired boy said with an honest respectful smile.

Alaric was surprised by this unknown boy who seemed to know a lot about the school, he felt that he was sincere in what he said, such a spirit was rare.

" Well, to be honest, I did it primarily for my daughters. " he said, a little flattered by her words, his school is his greatest pride.

" All true parents want the best for their children, but few go that far to ensure a good future for them, and very few help others in doing so. " he answered her always calmly with a slight smile.

he liked the boy, he seemed honest and wise to him.

" In any case, only individuals can enroll in this school, being aware of what is happening here is not enough. " Alaric said with a sigh, his heart ached thinking about the possibility of erasing the memory of this place in his mind if it was a human who learned something he shouldn't.

" He's not human… " Hope intervenes, she had smelled his scent, and she had never smelled anything like it, a smell of sulfur and blood coming from him, which was at odds with the aura. serenity that he exuded.

" Yes, I'm supernatural too, and I'd like to join this school if you don't mind. " Said Aiónia, not looking bothered by what the girl in front of him just discovered.

" Oh it's okay for me, and you fit in which rating of the three categories? " asked Alaric.

" It's none of the three, " Hope said certainty, and growing curious of the boy.

"Yes, I am different from others, I am able to bend darkness and shadow to my will." the boy said with a chuckle and still the same sincere smile, he held out his palm and a sphere filled with darkness appeared for just a few seconds before disappearing, he was careful that no one noticed.

" Bending darkness and shadows? I've never heard of that…" Alaric was deep in thought, looking intently at the palm.

" So what are you? " Hope asked suspicious and surprised, looking him straight in the eye.

Aiónia looked at her with a slight smile but slightly sad eyes, when he looked at her he seemed to see something in her.

" You have your father's eyes. "

" How do you know my father? " Hope asked quickly.

Aiónia looked at him for a short moment, Hope noticed that he had sad eyes, and a bitter and sincere smile. He then turned to Alaric.

" Are you The Dr. Saltzman? " Aionia was almost sure.

Dr. Saltzman snapped out of his thoughts and said, " Um yes, sorry, I was thinking what you might be." and then he remembers why he came. he said " Hope, I came to see you to tell you that we have to go, there was a magical disturbance east of here, in the city of Atlanta a day away. "

Hope is always curious and wanted him to answer her question.

" MG, come here big boy. " Alaric called a student in the distance.

The boy in question was with his group of friends before being pulled over, and heading towards Dr. Saltzman. In a few seconds he was already there.

" Hey Dr S. How can I help you? " asked a Black boy with curly hair, and a big, perky smile.

He also greeted Hope, who returned with a smile.

" I need you to take this boy to Dorian please. " replied Dr. Saltzman, pointing to Aiónia.

" No worries Dr. S. " said MG before turning to Aiónia and telling her

" Milton Greasley, but call me MG. " Mg held out his hand with a big smile

" Pleasure to meet, call me Aiónia. " replied Aiónia,

" Oh is that a pseudonym or a Nickname? " asked MG curious about his strange name.

" Nah, that's just my name. " Aiónia answered with a light laugh.

" Wait you didn't answer me, what are you? " Hope said stopping him in his tracks and turning him around.

MG is also arrested wanting to know if this guy would be his new vampire brother.

" Me, I'm just a pilgrim... " replied Aiónia with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and her slight smile that never left him, walking away with MG, hands in her pockets.
