Now Playing: The Adventure by Angels & Airwaves

You are walking through the streets of Neopian Central one drizzling afternoon. The sidewalk you are strolling on seems deserted. Who would want to be out in this weather anyway? On your left is a tree-lined street, typical of the quiet suburban neighborhood. On the right is a long red bricked wall twice your height. You've been following the wall-lined sidewalk for quite a bit now. You are shivering from the dampness that has soaked your jacket. Finally the brick wall comes to a break. You look through the golden gates that surround a large estate house. Trees surround it... All the way to the wall. You pause to pull your jacket tighter around you. Hey there! comes a voice, You must be here for the group tour. You look around for the source of the voice. Glancing behind you comes a young, somewhat funny-looking, Kyrii. He has short red hair and a long, bushy tail in the same color. His main fur is a dark gray and his eyes a stunning blue. I think you just missed it though, he continues as he walks toward you. They started 10 minutes ago. I should know... I'm late myself! It's alright. Professor Makfar wanted me to go on a grocery run. I don't think he'll mind if I'm a few minutes late for giving a tour. You notice a trail of four or five brown grocery bags floating along behind him. Your mouth falls open, but quickly you remember your manners and shut it. Since the group has already left, why don't I give you a personal tour of the school? He motions for you to follow him through the large gates, up the circle driveway. You look at the warm and inviting building and decide it wouldn't hurt to get warm for a bit. On your way in you notice a plaque on the brick wall. "Markfar Institute" it says. Are you coming? You look up and notice that the young man is almost to the door. Quickly you make your way up the path, your feet crunching on the wet gravel. Welcome to Markfar Institute for the Gifted! he says as he opens the old wooden doors with a flourish. In awe, you step inside.

You follow the Kyrii through the main hall. The building looks old. dark wood paneling and stones cover the walls. Windows from above the door make the main entrance bright despite all the dark wood. Directly in front of you is a wall with a large portrait of an elderly Lupe. The Kyrii spots you looking at the portrait. That's the Headmaster, Professor Makfar he says, C'mon. I'll tell you all about him in a minute. Let's go into the kitchen so I can put these groceries away. The kids wouldn't be too happy if all the ice cream melted! He winks at you. He walks down a hall to the right of the portrait. Light spills in from windows along the right side of the hall making the building seem like a warm place to be. You peek into a brightly-lit room on your right. Younger pets are playing pool and video games in what looks like a game room. At the end of the hall comes the kitchen. So far, this is the only part of the build that looks like new. He invited you to sit at one of the stools at the counter while he puts the groceries away. Well I guess since I'm your tour guide I should tell you a bit about myself...

Would you care for a soda? he asks you after he finished telling about himself. He takes out wo Neocolas and hands one to you. You open it and take a sip. ICK!! you hear him say, and looking up you see him making a face in disgust. I hate warm Neocola. Sorry.

Once you both finish your soda, Yalup sands up and says, Well, I guess its time to show you around. Lets go! He takes you out a glass door that leads you outside. It seems that while you were inside talking with the Kyrii the weather cleared up! Blinding sunlight shines down on four large, old stone buildings in front of you. They are arranged in a circle -- the center is a fountain. Gravel paths lead from the building and converge at this center point. Yalup leads you along a gravel path toward the fountain. Makfar Institute for the Gifted is a school for pets with special abilities. Professor Makfar founded it years ago because he wanted to be able to help children that have these powers. Sometimes a pet is unable to control their powers when they are so young. This school is a safe environment where they can learn to control the abilities they were born with. Reaching the fountain, you look up and see it is of a woman with her arms outstretched and water falling from her hands. Five miniature dragons are climbing around her. Yalup takes a seat on the rim of the fountain and continues on: Centuries ago, these buildings were used for a school also. The Professor isn't sure if back then i was a school for special pets or not, but its great that pets can sill learn here... He turns to you and smiles. The way The Institute works is that upon arrival, each new student is put into a House where their powers are suited for. There are four different Houses of Concentration: Healers, Scribes, Harpers, and Battlers. Each House has a Master who is head of that department and teaches his or her students in their field. In addition to learning to control their powers, the students are also taught in the basic subjects (we want our students well rounded!) Each Master also takes on certain subjects to teach as well as their Concentration lessons.

Each of the buildings you see have a different use. The one right in front of us, that we just came out of, that is the main building (1). It houses the kitchen, dining room, a small library, and a few game and entertainment rooms. That is also where the Professors office and the Master's bedrooms are.

The one on our right (2) is the Scribe Hall. The Scriber's classes are here as well as the Language and History classes all students must take. The main library is also here.

Next to the Scribe Hall is the Healer Hall (3). Like the Scribes, the main healer classes are hear as well as any science subject that need to be taken. The hospital and apothecary/pharmacy is also here to take care of any student who gets injured or sick.
