Two separate worlds: Ather and Earth. Each beautiful and normal in their own odd ways.
Earth was home to many humans. They each had the gift of the Familiar, a special creature for them to bond with. Long ago, this trait had become dormant, and it supposedly 'died out,' leaving humans to forget about it over time.
Ather was a diverse land, full of halfbloods and humans, shadowcrawlers and drayons, and everything in between. Magic was more abundant than it was on earth, but so were monsters. A school of sorts developed to help fight against them, keeping the world at peace.
Then, with a ground-shaking crack, the two realities slipped together into one, forming Ather-Earth. With these two universes merged into one, tensions grew high, and danger was everywhere. Monsters soon prowled the streets among Earth-humans, doing what they wished as the students from Ather University scrambled to explain themselves to the ones they had to protect. People turned on people, lines were formed. Ather and Earth were no longer calm, they were on the verge of war.
Fortunately, a few lucky humans had their dormant gift awakened from the combined magic of the two realities. Ather students located them as quickly as they could, recruiting them to help fight the monsters. Good luck!
You may begin when ready, no need to make forms, we'll just describe as we go.

Skylar always believed in two things: The reality that we all are going to inescapably die and the fact that the dimension she was born in was quite boring. The universe, apparently, decided to prove her wrong. She had read enough sci-fi and was interested in paranormal as a whole but nobody could prepare for this.
Earth was turned upside down and she like all other humans with basic intelligence, panicked. Especially when somebody found her while she was hiding in a grocery shop - Everything went too quickly, she couldn't even memorize persons face before she found herself in this room.
Her mind was one giant blank and there was loud buzzing at the back of her head, most likely caused by all this stress- Or an unknown presence. Maybe some kind of ghost overtook her, that wouldn't be too farfetched considering the circumstances.
She was sitting in the corner of the room- An empty classroom, by the looks of it- and was absentmindedly picking at one of the colorful beads in her raven hair. She had to face the doomsday at a mere age of 15- If Skylar survives this, she will have a heated debate with whatever god-like entity is up there... And yet, she couldn't help but be intrigued. Multiple theories were proven true and a whole new World opened up for people like her- Now they just need to stay alive to explore it and learn. And find a poltergeist. That was absolutely on the Top of To-Do-List.

"Do all Earth-humans have boring names?" Mauve asked as soon as she was in the doorway. She didn't actually walk in or anything, instead choosing to lean on the frame and cross her arms, which was quite imposing. In fact, everything about her seemed 'quite imposing.' She had dark gray shoes splattered with many different types of paint and black leggings under a pair of short cutoffs. She had a tank top on that was pale purple with a hint of pink, matching the dyed tips of her hair exactly. The rest of her neat curls were black, and her skin was a pleasant shade of light brown, like coffee with creamer. Her long, dark eyelashes and gentle, elegant features gave her a striking, out-of-place look. A messenger bag was slung over her shoulder, black as well, with all sorts of pins on the flap. The only particularly odd thing about her was the reptilian-avian critter perched on her shoulder, staring at Skylar with large yellow eyes. It obviously wasn't from Earth, and it looked a little like a dragon, if dragons only had one pair of legs and teal feathers with dark blue scales.

Skylar pushed her glasses up her nose and gawked at Mauve, her eyes shifting from disbelief to confusion. She expected somebody to come in and offer a sensible explanation to everything that is happening- Not apparent delinquent with a scaly cockatrice. An actual, real-life cockatrice... Well, Not quite but close enough. It really possessed more of draconic-like features.
With a new found energy she got up from the floor- Leaving panic behind now that the newcomer distracted her. "I don't believe that is an essential matter to discuss at the moment, Is it?"
She mimicked Mauve, crossing her arms and looking her straight in the eyes with a neutral expression- And yet she looked like she was looking at Mauve from hight above.
"And just to be polite," Skylar spat that word out as if it was poisonous "most names could be considered boring. Every name has been used before for approximately hundred times. I certainly hope you came to that logical conclusion too because if not... Well, then you have my sincere pity."
It reminded Skylar of one scene from a movie she saw years ago- Free-thinking Street Artist meeting a Privileged white student girl, the two eventually having a rap battle that somehow ended up with them forming an unlikely friendship- Of course, without the Friendship part. Skylar even had a similar sweater like that girl- Long sleeved and Cerulean blue without any marking. That movie had a good plot and the characters were interesting and deep- If they left out the Love Triangle subplot and an overabundance of songs it could be considered a really great movie. Sadly, Rotten Tomatoes got their hands on it and so it is now forgotten.

"Maybe on Earth each name is used over and over. I've never met anyone with the same name." Mauve replied. "Skylar, correct? The name's Mauve, I'm a class four shifter, and this is Kiralu. He's a feathered wyvern." She pointed to the creature sitting on her shoulder. Kiralu growled, not in a mean way, more as a hello. He had two hind legs, which were currently being used to remain in place, and two wings with clawed 'hands' of sorts. Mostly, he was covered in deep blue scales, but a thick row of feathers trailed down his spine to the tip of his tail, and his wings were also covered in the pretty teal things. As well as that, four black horns curved back on his head, a larger pair in the back, and a smaller pair in front. Since he was about the size of a large to medium bird, he wasn't very intimidating, but he did have quite the mouthful of thin, needle-like teeth.

oof I'm sorry for crashing in super late. Imma just throw this here

Tristan found himself in an unknown room. He took a moment to realize that it was a classroom of some sorts. The last thing he remembered was that he fell asleep in his room, drunk as always.
Well this is just great, he thought to himself as he fiddled on the pocket of his dark grey trousers to get out his cigarettes. I fall asleep happy about being outta school and then I dream about being in a school building.
He couldn't help but smile a little at his last thought, only for a split second. Yeah, more like waking up in a nightmare.

He silently listened to a conversation that came from one side of the room. He looked into the direction the voices came from, only to see two females. He managed to catch their names; Skylar was apparently the name of the young girl who was wearing glasses and just stood up. The other female was apparently named Mauve, and that weird creature sitting on her shoulder was called Kiralu.

That's one weird dream, Tristan thought to himself, silently cursing as he couldn't find his cigarettes. He slowly got up and walked over to the two, leaning against the wall and surveyed both of them for a moment. «What's poppin'?» he asked right into the conversation with an attempt of a flirty smirk on his face. He immediately gave up on it though and returned to a neutral, kind of bored expression.

Through Skylar kept her defensive posture, she visibly relaxed a little- The tension disappearing from her eyes, replaced with the usual neutral look. Maybe she will get some information after all and neither Mauve or Kiralu seemed all that threating "Fascinating. When there will be more time on our hands, I would be interested in hearing more about the naming system of your kind." Through it didn't sound like it, Skylar was indeed curious. Do parents create a completely new name for their offsprings? Is there some way of preventing the use of same names? "And indeed. Skylar McKenzie."
Skylar reached out her hand, going to offer a handshake, but it fell to her side as she heard another unfamiliar voice. She looked Tristan up and down and mentally sighed, He already looked like a trouble- At this point, Skylar could afford to be just a little judgemental. She can always blame it on the nerves.
"You wake up at an odd place with people you have never seen before and that's the first thing you say? I don't know if I should be impressed with your positive attitude or call you foolish."

This time, Kiralu did growl in a mean way, his feathers stiffening and rising to make him look bigger. He was much more threatening this way. "Apologies, Kiralu smells smoke and alcohol on you. He's trained to alert me towards anyone potentially dangerous." Mauve said, turning her gaze on Tristan. Her eyes were an odd hazel color, but the flecks of green, gold, and black in it constantly shifted and rotated, like a kaleidoscope. She shrugged her shoulder slightly and Kiralu completely stopped, his feathers falling flat and his lips drawing back over his teeth. "Tristan, correct? I was told you were quite the debate on whether they should accept you or not. Sarcasm, in the end, played savior. I'm sure you'll get the chance to thank them later. Usually, they are not that kind. Although, maybe, they saw a bit of themself in you." Maybe tilts her head a bit, curiously. Shaking herself out of her thoughts, she looks back at Skylar. "And I'm sure you'll learn more about it, in time. It might be interesting to Earth-humans, even if it's common knowledge for us."

Tristan now showed a little, crooked smile and looked at Skylar. «Lemme guess, 'he already looks like he will cause trouble', eh?»
He shrugged with his shoulders. «Don't worry, I'm used to it» he said with the smile dropping right from his face, the reply was directed at both Skylar and Mauve.

This was the moment when he noticed another person in the corner of his eye. He turned his head around and saw a small, slim figure standing there. A quiet voice reached his ear and it was as if he heard the person talking to themselves. «Hey kid, you alright?»

The small figure flinched as they heard the voice of a stranger. With a quick nod they answered the question and came a few steps closer. They had short, brown hair and grey eyes, wearing a red hoodie over a grey top and black trousers. It reminded Tristan of a character named Tord from a show he used to love. «What's your name?» Tris asked.
The small figure answered quietly: «My name's Mallory.»

Tris kept his neutral expression. «I should prolly say my name as well. I'm Tristan. Y'all can call me Tris.»
The new kid seemed kind of insecure and really young. Tris refrained from asking about his age though. He figured that'd probably be rude.

At Mauve's words, he nodded. «Guess you already knew my name, huh.»
He bowed his head to the side a little. «Accepted for what, though?» he asked, for now not questioning who the heck that Sarcasm person was. If Sarcasm saw themself in him, they might get along, however.

"For Ather University. Your natural Earth-born gifts stirred when our realities combined, allowing you to partly resemble someone training to be an Alhike." Mauve pursed her lips a bit, glancing up at the clock on the wall. Not bothering to look at Kiralu, she spoke to him: "Find Sarcasm and Ten for me, if you will? Drag blondie here, if you have to, I'm sure they won't be happy about it." Kiralu nodded his head, leaping off her shoulder and extending his wings. As soon as he was off of his perch, he seemed to grow, until he had to tuck his wings in quite a lot to fit through one of the big windows on the far wall.

"I apologize. I will try to be more open-minded from now on." Skylar's words didn't sound sincere and she doubted they were, maybe Tristan will prove himself later on but for now, Skylar certainly didn't had a good feeling about him.
Skylar certainly must have spaced out for some time, how could have she not notice that there were other people in the room? And a young kid as this... She felt saddened that his childhood was most likely taken away from him because of the recent events- Not even children were spared by the end of the World... Or at least, end of the World all humans grew used to.
It was quite hard to take all the information in without being a bit skeptical but Skylar didn't knew anything- Mauve certainly knew what was happening. Skylar has no other choice than to trust what she is saying. Skylar just has to play along... "I don't believe there is a point in asking if we have a choice, correct?"

"You definitely have a choice. Ather University is all about passion, without the fire to drive you, potential remains unlocked." Mauve replied, turning back to Skylar. "But, personally, I ask you to reserve strong judgement for later. Ather does have bad qualities, but it also has plenty of good ones as well." She smiles a little, slipping her bag off her shoulder and tossing it onto a nearby desk.

Tristan watched Mauves movements silently and listened to what she said. «Okay but,» he started, «what exactly is an. Uh. Alhike?»

I'm so sorry for the short af post I just really wanted him to ask that, and I got a headache plus it's really late. Please forgive me.

I forgive, it's okay. Go sleep.

"Ah, I suppose Earthens don't have them." Mauve replied, lifting a hand. Around her wrist was a thin silver bracelet, and a blue circle lit up on it, projecting an image onto her palm. It was a perfect replica of Kiralu in a hologram form, sitting back on his legs with his wings extended fully. His coloration was represented by different shades of blue, and his mouth was open to allow his forked tongue to loll, resembling a happily panting dog. "Since we have such a variety of monsters on Ather, we created the university to help train those who fought our enemies. But one person could not do all the jobs that needed to be done, so teams were formed. Each person on the team had a specific task. For example, I am a Talihen, or the main offensive fighter, and also take the position as leader. I weigh the opinions of my friends and make the final decision, along with landing the first blow on most of our enemies. There are many others, spanning many skills. An Alhike is the informant, but their best known for their work with animals. They often forge special bonds with creatures to aid our cause, and are aware of the knowledge needed to take down many monsters. Since you all have the gift of the companion, or familiar, you can pass for specialized Alhikes, although it won't be perfect."

«So basically you want us to gain knowledge about every monster in existence and how to kill them?» Tristan asked with a surprised face. Well, at least that sounds more interesting than school, he thought and let himself fall onto the nearest chair. «Eh, fine.»


Mallory for his part started fiddling with his pullover. He listened to the conversation in front of him. When Tristan mentioned something of killing monsters, he got obviously more nervous. They won't kill me though, right? I-I mean, I wouldn't be here if they would want to kill me. Right?
Doubt crept into his mind. They probably don't even know about Madok. So what if they find out later and then try to kill me? Will they see me as a traitor?

Skylar was intrigued- There is no other words for it. While she definitely wasn't interested in the Fight department -She belongs to the library, not on the battlefield- the Familiars and Ather definitely cough get curiosity. There was a whole new culture that possibly no humans before ever explored and it's there right in front of her. She is not going to let it slip away. "I apologize for changing the subject but there is something on my mind- Is it already known why did our two words merged together? Or is it just natural for realities to... collide with each other at some point."

"There are many theories currently circling, but no other realities we know of have merged like ours did. And, to answer your question, Tristan, not... necessarily." Mauve twitched a finger and hologram shifted, becoming a symbol. It showed a empty circle with two clawed hands reaching out of it, curling in on themselves a bit. "This is what's known as the 'monster brand.' Every creature deemed too violent or too destructive is filed under this image, and if a monster is captured, the mark is put on their skin, easily identifying them to the general public should they escape." She shifts her fingers again, this time curling them into a fist. An image of a human appears, along with little words that say 'temporary status.' Mauve continues. "Currently, humans have been filed under the monster brand with a temporary status. Meaning no team may attack without specific instruction or clear reason. A discussion is being held to decide on whether or not we should permanently add you to the list. For what I've seen, the discussion isn't leaning in your favor, even with Death and Sarcasm both arguing your cases quite strongly."

Tristan raised an eyebrow. «So we're considered something like monsters?»
He couldn't help but find this funny, but he didn't show any sign of amusement on the outside.

Mallory interrupted: «And we're pretty much here to prove that we're not dangerous, but can be helpful instead? Or did I misinterpret that?»

Skylar didn't even seem surprised that Humans were labeled as such- It made perfect sense. They could be considered invasive species after all and their large numbers are indeed alarming. Her own kind probably ticked every box in eyes of Ather and Skylar couldn't blame them the slightest.
She just nodded to show that she is listening, there wasn't anything she had to say...

"Yes, Mallory, that's definitely one reason." She tapped her bracelet and the hologram turned off. Brushing her hair out of her face, she sat back on the same desk she threw her bag on earlier. "But, we are having some serious problems ourselves. Ather University simply doesn't have enough functioning teams to track down monsters. Team Eyeliner's been working overtime, the White Roses are scrambling to find another suitable Alhike after their accident, and the other three top teams either have several MIA members, or are dealing with Earthens. We need more students, more fighters, and if that means recruiting non-Ather humans, then we're willing to take the risk."
"Personally, I think the whole thing's insane," said a new voice. There, leaning in the doorway was a new person. Whether they were male or female was unclear, but one thing was certain, they were incredibly attractive. Their features were soft enough to border on feminine, with tawny-gold hair long enough to fall into his eyes a bit, even part.. Their skin was flawlessly pale, and their body thin, but their face made it obvious they were Asian - probably Korean or Japanese, or whatever the equivalent was on Ather. They wore a simple pair of black jeans and a button-down white shirt, but it didn't diminish their model-like appearance at all, it actually suited them. Kiralu sat in their hair, much smaller now, and almost dull compared to the nest of woven sunlight beneath him.
