Story - Beyond The Mundane

Archael shot himself into the sky and burst across the horizon. He sensed a presence pursuing his energy. It was his twin, Azrael trailing behind him. They were late for class. 
Having made sure their presence was hidden, they teleported into their classrooms. Archael made a decent decoy with his limited magic power like he usually did and snuck out of class. Azrael, the more studious of the brothers, preferred meditating by himself in his seat, augmenting his magical energy. Archael, or Arch as his friends used to call him, was always hyperactive and rebellious in class. Although, this description was of the clones he used to make for the most part. He rarely attended class himself. Azrael was much more proficient in creating clones and would maintain about fifty or so clones at all times to do all sorts of odd jobs and chores. Archael focused more on his athletic abilities and would hone his agility and strength by battling monsters and lesser demons while his clone was causing a ruckus in class. 
With another uneventful day at class over, the brothers meet up in the sky on the way back home.
"You forgot to dispel your clone again, Arch..", Azrael sighed with disappointment.
"Whoops!", Arch brushes his fingers over his forehead to dispel the clone. "Heh.. I keep forgetting about that guy.. ", Archael frivolously comments. The experiences the clone had in class are burned into his head in an instant.
"Whoa, I caused quite a ruckus today..", Arch said nonchalantly only to invoke a dark glare from Azrael. "You know we're not supposed to draw attention to ourselves. We're different...", Azrael remarks, with a tone of lonely acceptance. "I'm sorry Az.. I'll be more careful from now on", Arch becomes apologetic and solemn all of a sudden. The brothers remember what their parents had gone through when their powers were revealed to the world.
On their way back home, they saw the waterfalls they usually pass by on the route to school. 
"Let's take a break..", Azrael told Arch, gesturing towards the falls, hoping to lighten the mood. Arch nods and the two land close to the brink of the falls.
