Just got an email back that says:

I have a theory as to what the new page unlocked means.

[Seadevil4]

Very Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Got the same reply back from the school too.

Another little thing that's nudging inside my head, the man with the booming voice?

[bluesylvia]

So we have Cassandra (Cassidy) who foresaw the destruction of Troy and now we have Helen who was the cause behind the destruction of Troy. Hmm...

[krystalinn]

Has anyone been working on the "ice breaker" thing they gave us? I did a rough sketch of a creature of my own creation. (It's probably not as original as I think, but I've had real life nightmares featuring this guy so I don't know.)

The link is to my Deviant Art. If that's not allowed I'll remove the link. I think I'm going to email the picture to them though. I might redo it though so it looks better. I just wanted to see if other people are going to submit pictures.

As I mentioned earlier, and Seadevil repeated, this reminds me a lot of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

First, the Immortals are who determine if the school opens. Then we have a list of "historical figures", some of which correspond to the Greek myths? Sounds like at this school, the Greek gods are real. Thus the whole focus on Classical Studies, as well.

It's very possible as well that Cassidy's family was involved with the sacrifice somehow, thus the blood.

Do you think that maybe these girls are all children of various Gods, nymphs, and the like? It would explain the correlation.

The only thing I'm not too sure about is Cassidy's sister. Cassandra had a fraternal twin brother, Helenus. And yet there is the unrelated Helen of Troy, who was considered the most beautiful woman in the world and a daughter of Zeus and either Leda (a human woman) or Nemesis (a spirit). Either way, demigoddess.

So, I finally submitted my creature, a Swolfeer. This is what happens, when I doodle too long. I totally abandoned my first idea and the second and third and then came up with this.

I just got two emails back from the school. So far no real information, but the signature in one of them said:

Vita brevis, ars longa.


Which I'm pretty sure means: "Life is Short, Art is Long." or something to that extent. (I only took one year of latin 15 years ago so I'm a little rusty. I'm almost certain it is Latin though, not Greek.

[Elethamei]

Yeah, I got the same and Google told me it means exactly what you said

[amandel]

Beaut artwork, I <3 em! Well, am not disagreeing with the use of Vita brevis, ars longa here or on the email I did not receive. Yet thought y'all might want to know it is originally from Greek & the reason why it's said a lot by tired medical students, interns etc.. Phrase MEANING ETA: Oh, a new & exciting Moorpond Teacher blog post.
