The Wizard and I

(AN: I have both the video and a drawing at the top, so you may have to swipe or click the arrow to see the music. I still don't know how this works XD)

Years ago

A young Dimentio, about sixteen years old, stepped into his new boarding school, carrying three large suitcases. His dark black hair fell over his face. He wore normal school clothes, not his usual Jester's garb. In fact, if you looked at him now, the only way you'd be able to recognize him would be by his mismatched eyes. His glowing yellow left eye would never shut fully, and the whole left side of his face was still slightly off, bearing no eyebrow or ear. His skin, still a shade of grey. His right eye was a shade of dark, dark purple. To most it just looked black.

He looked around. Boy, were there a lot of people...

Dimentio: "Hello? Could you perhaps help m-"

He tried asking a random student for a little help, when they walked past him, knocking one of his bags onto the ground. He sighed, and went to pick it up, when a peppy girl with light blonde, almost white hair came walking in, with about five other students carrying her bags for her.

Everyone was happily chattering when they noticed Dimentio. They all fell silent and stared at him.

Dimentio: "....Well, what are you looking at?!"

Everyone just stared. Not that he was surprised. He had been dreading coming to this school for this exact reason.

He sighed, then threw down his bags and marched over to the group of people.

Dimentio: "Alright, Let's just get this over with. No, I am not a demon. Yes, this is my natural skin tone. No, I am not going to eat you. Yes, I'm a human. No, my eye doesn't see into your souls or whatever. I am a completely normal person despite my appearances, so please STOP STARING!"

His 'father,' the mayor, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

Mayor: "Dimentio! Quit making a fool of yourself! I am sending you here for one reason, and one reason only!"

Dimentio looked down, then over at his younger brother, Jacques, who was about fourteen. He sat in a wheelchair, so someone needed to look after him.

Dimentio: "I know, I know. To take care of Jacq...."

His father nodded, then walked over and hugged his other son, who looked completely normal compared to Dimentio. In fact, he was rather attractive. Blueish green eyes, perfect blonde hair, and normal looking skin tone. His facial shape was similar to Dimentio's, but other than that, you would never be able to tell that they were brothers. 

Mayor: "My precious son, a parting gift."

He took out a pair of black, pointed shoes. They were rather expensive, and worth quite a bit. Jacq smiled and took them.

Jacq: "Dad, you didn't have to do this!"

Mayor: "Anything for you, my son. Please take care. I love you."

He kissed Jacques on the forehead goodbye then turned to Dimentio once again.

Mayor: "Dimentio..... take care of your brother."

He then left, saying nothing else.

Dimentio sighed, slightly disappointed.

Jacques: "Dimentio, I'm sure he-"

Dimentio: "It's fine. It's.... fine."

The headmaster of this school stepped into view.

Headmaster: "Students, Students, we are pleased to have you here at this school. Whether you plan to study literature, mathematics, science, or magic. We have nothing but the highest of hopes for most of you!"

Dimentio noted that 'most of you' and took it to mean that he likely didn't fall into that category.

Headmaster: "Now, regarding room assignments,"

The peppy looking blonde, Timpani, and Dimentio both raised their hands. The Headmaster noticed Timpani first.

Headmaster: "Yes, my dear?"

Timpani: "Hi, I believe I ordered a private suite! Do you know if you could have my bags delivered there, please and thank you!"

The headmaster pulled out a list and looked at the assignments.

Headmaster: "Ah, yes. I see you right here on my list. Is that all?"

Timpani: "Actually, no. You see, I specifically came here to take the Magic seminar. I believe I submitted an essay. But when I look at my class schedule, I don't see the class...."

Headmaster: "Ah, yes. I teach that class, along with my assistant teacher, Professor Mago. But you see, very few are let in that class. Only a handful of us humans are capable of Magic, so we only let in the ones who have potential."

Timpani: "Well, exactly! I-"

Dimentio: "Pardon my interruption, but staying on topic, I would like to point out that I do not have a room assignment."

The headmaster turned to him while Timpani scoffed and turned back to her friends.

Timpani: "You know, I don't think they even read my essay, 'The Magic of Butterflies and Rainbows.'"

Student: "That's so unfair! You should say something."

Timpani: "Should I.... you're right!"

The Headmaster cleared his throat while Timpani started walking back.

Headmaster: "Well, there must have been a glitch in the system. Now, who would like to share a room with Dimentio?"

Timpani: "Headmaster-"

Headmaster: "Ah! Timpani! Thank you so much for volunteering! How kind of you!"

Timpani gave a confused look.

Timpani: "Huh?"

The headmaster turned to Dimentio.

Headmaster: "Dimentio, you will be sharing a room with Timpani."

Timpani: "What?! No no no! I can't share a room with that....thing!"

Dimentio looked over at her, insulted.

Dimentio: "Wow....well with all due respect, couldn't I just room with my brother? I have to take care of him."

The headmaster ignored both of them.

Headmaster: "Now, now. Part of our school experience is meeting new people! Besides, the Mayor made the importance of Jacques's safety very clear. He will be rooming with myself so I may personally help look after him. Now, everyone to their dormitories!"

An adult took Jacq's wheel chair and started rolling him away, causing Dimentio to panic.

Dimentio: "W-wait a minute! No! I'm supposed to take care of him! That was my one job! Let him go!"

Dimentio held his arms up.

The wheel chair was torn from the teacher's hands and went flying across the room over to Dimentio.

Everyone fell silent.

Headmaster and Timpani: "How did he do that....."

Jacq: "Dimentio.... don't."

The headmaster turned to Dimentio.

Dimentio's hands were shaking. For his whole life, he'd been able to do weird things like that, with no explanation.

Headmaster: "You, young sir? Are you..... enrolled in the magic class?"

Dimentio shook his head.

Dimentio: "Oh, no no no. I'm just here to take care of my brother. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

Headmaster: "My dear boy, you have talent. Never apologize for talent! Why, you have a gift! I myself am the teacher for magic and sorcery. I'll expect you to be in my classroom tomorrow. I've never seen a human have so much raw power. Why, you could be of great help to the ancients! I see great things in your future, as long as you're good! Now, off to your dormitories."

Everyone left, except Dimentio. Jacq was taken again and wheeled away, leaving Dimentio alone.

Timpani shot a glare at him, before scoffing and leaving for her dorm room.

Timpani: He didn't even write an essay. He was just....let in!

She mumbled slightly angrily under her breath.

Dimentio slowly looked around as everyone left the room.

(AN: Music start 0:50)

Dimentio: "....Did that really just happen?"

He looked down at his hands.

Dimentio: "Have I actually.....understood?
This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide is a talent that could...... help me meet the ancients...."

He sighed.

Dimentio: "If I make good.

So I'll....make good."

He smiled and picked up his bags, feeling filled with a feeling of....excitement. He walked towards a large window and softly sung to his reflection.

Dimentio: "When I meet the ancients....
Once I prove my worth,
And then I meet the ancients
What I've waited for since, since birth, 

And with all their ancient wisdom.
By my looks, they won't be blinded
Do you think the ancients are dumb?
Or, like humans, so small-minded? No!"

He turned away from the window.

Dimentio: "They'll say to me, 'I see who you truly are. A guy on whom I can rely!'

And that's how we'll begin
The ancients and I...."

Dimentio ran down the hall, ignoring all the stairs from people. He nearly ran into two different groups of students, but he didn't care.

For the first time in a long long time, he felt....happy. Maybe this school wouldn't be so bad.

Dimentio: "Once I'm with the ancients.....
My whole life will change

Cause once you're with the ancients,
No one thinks you're strange!

No father is not proud of you
No brother acts ashamed.......
And everyone has to love you
When by the ancients you're acclaimed!

And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand
The ancients and I...."

Dimentio walked across the empty cafeteria, and set his bags down, as he continued singing.

Dimentio: "And one day, they'll say to me, 'Dimentio,

A guy who is so superior

Shouldn't a boy who's so good inside

Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree

Seem fixated on your verdigris

Would it be all right by you.....

If we fixed your face for you.....'"

He giggled to himself.

Dimentio: "And though of course, That's not important to me
'ALL RIGHT, WHY NOT?' I'll reply.....
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The ancients and I....

Yes, what a pair we'll be
The ancients and-"

Dimentio froze, getting a vision of the future.

He saw celebrating. Smiles.... singing and dancing, and all for.....him.

He looked down at his hands and smiled.

Dimentio: "Unlimited.....
My future is, unlimited

And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy

I know..... 

It sounds truly crazy.

And true, the vision's hazy.

But I swear, someday there'll be

A celebration throughout the world,

That's all to do.....

With me....."

He slowly got up onto the table and sang out to the empty cafeteria room, holding his arms out.

 Dimentio: "And I'll stand there with the ancients,

Feeling things I've never known

And though I'd never show it

I'll be so happy, I could explode!

And so it will be
For the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else
'Till I die"

Dimentio excitedly jumped from table to table, spinning around.

Dimentio: "Held in such high esteem...

When people see me, they will SCREAM!

For half the world's favorite team.....

The ancients,

And I........."

He quickly took his bags and got down, running off to find his dorm room.
