I have unfortunately not been at school for months at this point.
To make a long story short, I fell into some sort of inter-dimensional portal and had a hard time navigating the mazes of shadow and the dark corridors of Reliaterno.
But I'm back, to my own delight. Rex, the carnivorous watermelon banana hybrid, has been doing just fine, and it seems he has survived off old socks... I'll have to look into that.
So much has happened while I was gone! It's good to be back!

Portal Ball season has started! The first game has been played and gosh, it was intense!
Obviously, the game last night went amazing. A tie game has never been so thrilling! Here's how it went.
Team Dragon started off strong, and they had a good connection of minds. They scored the first goal with a bit of sneaky portal placement and some good taggers.
Team Demon (my team) fell behind in the first minutes, but we soon took the lead due to our taggers skill and tag-and-run strategy. We were about to 'confuse the enemy', but I was distracted and the mental instructions didn't go fast enough. As a result our own portal casters got confused and Team Dragon pulled ahead.
With Team Demon pulling it together in the nick of time, we scored a goal to tie the game 12-12.
Thanks to all of those who put in hours of practice and time! Next practice is tomorrow morning, gym 87 as usual. Meet me there!

OMG
I'm student of the month?! *gasp* I'm legit super happy!! Even the demons in my closet are happy, and they practically feed on despair.
Anyways, I left the underworld and I'm back at Psyhigh! Good to be back, though here's hoping it will be better once I catch the cricket in my room. Those guys sure are good to holding up around such strong energy. They also are still quite loud... I may not get sleep tonight. I'll need energy to for the portal ball game tomorrow night.

A review of what portal ball is
---------
Portal Ball

team of 12

positions:
portal caster 1 - casts entry portals
portal caster 2 - casts exit portals
kickers (4 people) - kicks ball to score
blockers (2 people) - blocks opponents portals and telepathic messages
sender - sends telepathic messages from chief to casters
chief - directs portal placement
guard - guards the goal
tagger - can 'tag' portals, making them invisible to the opposing team for 3 seconds

score: 2 points
game ends after 10 minutes
notes: blockers block portals with energy, but cannot detect invisible portals
ball can go through portals however placement is tricky since it relies on the accuracy of the chief and sender to judge the flow of the game and where the ball will be. The kickers can kick it into the portals. If set up right, this can be an easy goal.
----------
It's a simple practice match but my team still holds the lead, 8-14. So gym 87, 4:00 pm tomorrow night. Team Dragon vs Team Demon. seats limited, first come first served. Betting on teams is allowed however advised against. Please, no salted salamander legs or fried dimensional cakes, several players have allergies.

Well, forget the cricket. I'm going to set up a mattress in the courtyard shed, where I can be alone...

@Ava Elisabeth uh oh, that doesnt sound good. My demons can't enter the whole. I'm taking on into my mind so i can see through it's eyes... Okay, it should be lighting up the hole... Is that a skull?!?!

This is intriguing. I shall take a place on your team. Demons are useful in many areas of expertise. It seems we should break this down into components.

I'm with my grandfather now. He says he saw some non-demon figure leave. I guess he got out alright. I'm fine with that because I'm having a great time here! The demons are super chill, and I'm spend the night with Granddad. Right now I'm writing by the fire (well, by the wall... and the floor... there's a lot of fire here) while granddad gets food from the bakery next door. I also have some fire cider. It's like normal cider but spicy and boiling hot. Tomorrow morning before I leave I'll go on a tour of the place for the memories. Home sweet home! (I was raised on Earth, sure, but I spent so much time with my granddad!)
See you soon!

It seems @Louis C. is having some trouble. I've been doing my best to get the demons to leave him alone but sooner or later... Well, I'm going to try to get him out. I figured out he ended up in the underworld... Of the seven layers of despair, he thankfully only ended up on layer 1. I shouldn't have to much difficulty getting him out... I hope.
I will leave as soon as possible. Then maybe I can help find the airship and get him back safely.
As for your question, my grandfather is a demon (if you see him around say hi, he works in a red office building with skulls outside. He has brown horns and big wings with large claws. He's blind in one eye so he might have an eyepatch) so I get along with them well. They aren't all that bad.

Alright @Ava Elisabeth , I sent 6 demons. They look a bit like shadows but they have taken the form of flying spiders for some reason. Anyways just let them attach to you. One per arm and leg and two on your back. They should propel you forward at a much faster speed.
Best of luck!

I may be at PsyHigh but I can still help! @Ava Elisabeth , I think I can help! What if I summoned some demons to help you go faster?

@xiirth dont worry, I'm staying for the summer! It's a perfect time to have fun and let lose. Rune magic gets tedious after a while and it's good to have time to relax.
It seems you're finally back to normal, that's awesome! Want to celebrate with me by catching butterflies (or whatever they are) in the field by the dragon fountain?
