care for magical creatures | monday | fourth period | november 16
Even though the class was late in the day, Loki was yawning and looking barely awake at the front of the class. He was blaming it on his continued adjustment to teaching a class again. Yes, he was still adjusting even after three weeks. He took things slow.
"Today," he started, not even bothering to get up from his chair while he addressed the class, "we're going to learn about elves."
Loki didn't know why they were learning about elves but that was what he'd picked. To help the students learn about elves, there were worksheets on their desks, outlining different facts about elves. "Elves, if you don't know, are thought of a race of divine or semi divine creatures that possessed some sort of magical power. But, really, on this island, who doesn't possess some sort of power? There are light elves and dark elves and Keebler elves."
Okay, that last one wasn't necessarily true but Loki didn't care. Keebler elves were some of his favorite.
"For today's class, I want you to find your elf name and then create yourself a backstory about what kind of elf you are. It can be anything you want but try to stick with the basic things elves are known for. Got it? Go to it."

It was in bad form to not be able to pronounce your own elf-name, Zack.
"It means strength and son, though," he offered up. "Which is neat! Uh. I guess the backstory would be... That TĂșion the elf ran away from home to join the army at a young age! Because he wants to be a hero! And he's a really accomplished swordsman and stuff."
That was your own backstory, Zack. No bonus points for creativity, there.

She twirled her hair around one finger, thinking. "Hmmm, let's see... Caleniel would be the third daughter of an impoverished elf--as much as elves can be impoverished anyway, that does rather depend, doesn't it?--with a sweet but fiery nature and a love of growing things. One night, though, a Dark Stranger shows up and kidnaps her off on an Adventure."
...probably full of Epic Romance and Bizarre Family Twists and such. Maron was totally having way too much fun with this.
