THE STRIXHAVEN STAR

There is no end to strange and unusual activities on the grounds of our great university campus, but something more nefarious than ever could be looming over us as the events this morning leave many students fearing for their safety.

On the way to the campus this morning, a large insect-like creature of unknown origins ripped through the shell of one of the lightning rail dining cars full of students and visitors. Its razor-like appendages slicing through the tough metal like a hot dagger through a gelatinous cube. Screams of terror rang out as the beast immediately fell upon a group of non-students eating their breakfast and grabbed a former Silverquill student, Hummer.

"I was munching on my nutbread when the thing came down and picked me up," Hummer remarked. "I felt powerless as it whipped me around like an old napkin." Hummer continued by stating he feared his time in the mortal coil would be cut short if it hadn't been for his dear friend, Colt, and others stepping in to slay the beast.

"Me Boba", claimed Boba, a visiting Hadozee with a natural talent for linguistics. Boba, Colt, Ai'tev, and GOOP were quick to dispatch the monster leaving only minor injuries among the students and some structural damage to the hull of the rail car. We are thankful to be among students that do not hesitate to rise up in defense of their fellow mages.

"The faculty has been made aware of these events, and we ensure you that this was an isolated incident from a wild beast. There is nothing to fear, but we will be taking steps necessary to prevent something like this from occuring again," stated Professor Willowdusk, a Witherbloom Professor of Herbology and Magical Physiology.

This news is hot off the press and we will be providing you updates as soon as the information comes to light. If you have any additional information regarding this event that, please visit us at the Chronicler's Quarters on Silverquill Campus and ask for Mina Lee.
