You don't meet her on the bus

"Screw that. I am not going back to ride that bus if she is waiting for me" you think to yourself as you start to walk to school instead of taking the bus. It's a longer journey than just riding the bus but you've done it before and it's still morning time so it's safe. "I'm not going to let this bully control me".

After some time of walking you finally reach the large front doors of the school. You go inside and head straight to your classroom. You can't wait to learn more because you have some questions for your master about how what you want to learn will affect your uniform. You arrive and open the door to the classroom but no one is inside. In response you go to check your watch only to realize that you are way too early. "Huh. I guess I thought it would take way longer to walk here" you say aloud. Considering you have some free time now before class starts you start to explore the halls when suddenly you bump into someone.

"Oop my bad. I'm so sorry I did not see you there" the lady you bumped into says. You are perplexed as this is the first time you have seen someone that looks like her. She has... well... scales on her body and a long, strong looking tail. The color of her scales is a sheen-like green mixed with blue. She doesn't have a sword and her uniform looks more like robes than armor so you assume that she studies offensive magic here. "No no it's fine I wasn't really looking where I was going" you say trying to ease her panic. "Where are you off to anyways?" she asks to which you respond "Actually I'm just exploring. I have not been here too long and I had some extra time so I figured I'd look around". "Oh I know a good spot you should check out. Follow me!" she exclaims. Interested you start to follow.

She leads you around and you start to take in all the school's beauty. The ceilings are all exceptionally high and there are torches lighting the halls. Historical paintings as well as TOA related designs are scattered on the walls, floors, and ceilings. Eventually she leads you into a slightly darker room. It's smaller than the most and it's definitely not used for class based on the lack of upkeep. There are bookshelves on the floor and empty armor stands. All of a sudden you can hear the door shut behind you and you turn around.

The lizard who led you there just starts staring at you and asks "You're Henry, right?". "How do you know my name?" you ask. "I'll take that as a yes" she says as she grabs some rope that was on the floor next to the door. She must have placed it there and now you are wondering why she would trap you. You do not know much but you learned basic swordsmanship so you pull out your sword to stop her. "I wasn't born yesterday Henry" she says in response to you pulling out your sword as she instantly turns invisible. It is already dark in the room and you cannot see her at all. You stand your ground with your sword out but you panic when you hear her footsteps quickly scurry over. She kicks the sword out of your hand and wraps her tail around your neck, raising you off the ground. You grab her tail with both your hands in an attempt to reduce the pressure. While you struggle she uses her rope to tie your legs. As soon as your lower body is restrained she drops you on the ground. You start to cough as you catch your breath caused by her strangulation. She kneels on you and pins your hands behind your back and ties your wrists together with the rope. As soon as you catch your breath you ask "Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to you?". While catching her breath she says "You're cute, and you seem kind of sweet so I feel a little bad. On the other hand someone paid me to tie you up and frankly I need the money. If it's any consolation I'm sorry". Those were the last words she said to you before she left you restrained on the floor.

Not even two minutes after she leaves the door opens again and you see Janessa walk in the room.
