Thin streams of moonlight shattered the otherwise perfect darkness around them. The trees formed a maze around them, their leaves whispering in the wind as two battle front members worked their way through the darkness. The occasional sound of snapping twigs rang out in the quiet sound, small huffs of breath from the boys followed the disturbed silence. Ashton’s eyes scanned the woods in a smooth pattern, his face holding his normal easy going expression under his black hoodie. Glancing over at Jin, he nodded towards the left, suddenly taking a turn. “The kid said they’ve been training over here.” He explained in a quiet voice.
They were here to investigate a new training area for the prefects. Supposedly, it was to aid the prefects who had issues using their powers indoors. If they could get some eyes on it and determine if the information on it was correct they could confirm to things. First, their source was credible. Second, how the prefects were training so they could counter that and get an upper hand on it. Hopefully, all went well and the area was clear of any prefects. Most should be out on patrol around the school or in bed, so in theory it should go smoothly.
As they continued to walk Ash lifted his hand out of his side, moving it through a particularly well light patch. The moonlight seemed to dance and shift around his fingers as his hand left the space, the light trailing after him. His eyes glowed a dim silver as his secondary power activating as the moon rose higher in the sky. “Kid said there was a clearing just a head… Do you think we can trust him?” Ashton turned to look at Jin, cocking an eyebrow. This was the first time he really talked to the guy, any other time it was just a brief meeting. Calista and Bridget seemed to trust him enough so he was good in Ash’s book.
A moment or two after he asked the question the trees began thinning and the clearing opened up in front of them. It seemed fair average, the grass beat thin in a few places and full of life in others. As Ashton finished up surveying the clearing he felt a kick land in the middle of his back, launching him forward. He was sent sprawling into the middle of the clear where he quickly jumped up and spun around. “I guess that answers that.” He said humorlessly as he looked at a group of prefects lining the edging of the clearing, their intent clear in their arrogant eyes.
“Gotta love old fashioned traps,” a smirk pulled at his lips as he tilted his face towards the sky. He took in the sight of the clouds rolling away from the moon, leaving it to shine brightly down on them. “Gotta love a clear night even more.” He laughed as he looked back towards the group, his eyes glowing a bright silver. “Ready for a little work out?” He called to Jin, fling his arm out towards the group. Large spikes of ice fallowed his movements and shot out to the group. A moment later a beam of moonlight solidified in his hand taking on the appearance of a spear as he shoot forward to attack the group.
