"I apologise completely for my rather inconsiderate comments." Klelt apologised, having forgotten all about Damus's blindness. He was still highly annoyed at the short insult thought as he was not at all short.

"Damus, Loki was insulting Klelt...that is, the Dwarf to the winged felinoid creature. Not you."

"Me?" Loki asked suprisedly, "I didn't say a thing... I think you mixed something up."

ooc: I think you mixed something up Kaymiril.

"I am seriously beginning to take offence at this tale. I am a Troll after all. It does not matter that it was one of our exiles It is still offensive. Especially considering the derogatory stereotypical fashion we are being referred to."

Piekrom']"I am seriously beginning to take offence at this tale. I am a Troll after all. It does not matter that it was one of our exiles It is still offensive. Especially considering the derogatory stereotypical fashion we are being referred to."

"then I shall tell my tale no more, suffice to say, it was very intresting." Damus said.

"Ooooh," Loki sighed, "I want to hear the rest..."

"Please?" Loki said innocently.

"Perhaps another time. Meanwhile, I have grown quite weary." Damus said.

"Please, Rest in the Rooms upstairs." Rahegalhoff said.

Damus nodded, and tottered away upstairs.

Rahegalhoff give both Xos and Vierna a look that said he wanted to speak with them both at the same time in Private. Then he walked off to the Courtyard, to await them.

"Loki, you shoukd get your rest. I will expect to see you downstairs promptly after Breakfast." xos said, then he followed Rahegalhoff.

"Okay..." Loki replied. Althuogh he was depressed that he wouldn't get to hear the end of the story that night, he was excited about his coming lesson in the morning.

After saying good night to everyone, Loki headed upstairs after Damus. Finding an empty room, Loki laid his staff against the wall and fell asleep on the bed.

"You guys go off to sleep I shall practice here with one of my holograph seeds on my sword skills. I only need 12 hours a week of sleep."

*********************************************************
Jyzumar, Draeval, Elemental Warrior and ??? I made up. Jormangundr came from Norse Mythology, Cerberus originally came from Greek, though I know he's in FFVIII and a Seqeal to FFVII has been named after him, The Dirge of Cerberus.

Venus came partially from The Legend of Zelda, Partially fromm Me, partially from FFVI, Bahamut and Tiamet are also in D&D, in the Book of Deities and Demi-Gods, as well as FF, and the Rest, All FF, modified for NS.

And, OOCly, you'll soon know a secret, as soon as Veirna joins Rahegalhoff and Xos in the Courtyard.

You can however, gain all the summons should you so choose, however, I use them all as Characters.

Oooh, ooh, tell me.

"I'm getting bored," whined Ichiro Suzuki (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/catgirl_471.jpg), "so, who do I talk to about learning more control over Fire?"

I'm with the tailed girl, when do lessons start? and winged furry one, you are short compared to most Avarhierrims, even I'm short. its not so bad.

"I'm getting bored," whined Ichiro Suzuki (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/catgirl_471.jpg), "so, who do I talk to about learning more control over Fire?"

Eldrad was still in earshot, and he looked at Ichiro,"Your best chance would be to cease whining, and be more proactive. Unless you actively go searching for a tutor, you will not find one."

At this moment, a human woman in her early thirties arrived. She had long black hair that was tied back in a simple style, and wore a loose fitting robe for the moment. She was unarmed, and her face was pale,"Master Eldrad, I am glad to have found you"

He turned to look at her,"Yes, what is it, Rosemary?"

"I believe I may have finally achieved what you asked of me"

"Have you indeed? Show me"

She nodded, and closed her eyes, stretching her hands before her. There was a brief moment when nothing happened, but then a rippling blue charge could be seen between her fingers. It seemed to build briefly, before she released it and it swept across the room, leaving faint afterimages imprinted on most humanoids eyes. It impacted into a target he had erected, and instead of exploding, the target imploded into itself, being sucked into the Warp. She opened her eyes, and smiled. He did not smile.. he didn't do that. When he spoke, his tone was soft, with a faint touch of pride,"Well done child. A worthy attempt. You still require much training, but I foresee you will improve."

"Thank you master, I apologise for disturbing you."

"It is welcome, Rosemary"

She stopped, and looked around,"Hello there, who are all of you?"

Artemis had bought himself a short sword. He could now fight with a weapon in each hand, though that would take some getting used to. As he strapped the blade on around his hip, he saw Eldrad, the one who he had met at the beginning of his time at the Tower.

He smiled, then went over to a patch of grass, trying hard to do what his teacher had told him. He was trying to create a small amount of earth rise up and form a small wall. Whether he could do it or not, he would wait and see.

(OOC: how does a young nation such as myself join this mammoth of a thread without ruining it for everyone? and is there a way of learning the whole history without having to trawl back through 904 pages?)

OOC: You can't ruin it, even if you did, it would be a tiny blip on a huge PR. But just RP your character coming to the Tower. As for the story, I only know about the last fifty pages or so, so don't worry about it.

"Perhaps another time. Meanwhile, I have grown quite weary." Damus said.

"Please, Rest in the Rooms upstairs." Rahegalhoff said.

Damus nodded, and tottered away upstairs.

Rahegalhoff give both Xos and Vierna a look that said he wanted to speak with them both at the same time in Private. Then he walked off to the Courtyard, to await them.

"Loki, you shoukd get your rest. I will expect to see you downstairs promptly after Breakfast." xos said, then he followed Rahegalhoff.
OOC: I am waiting for you Kay.

(OOC: well that's good to know)

The Halfling known as Splib wandered into the Tower, he was eager to learn the majicks of the world and had the excuberence of a youthful young man, he had been sent out from the Halfling village due to his lust for adventure, a trait often not found in the Spoot Halfling race, he waited just inside the door for someone to welcome him.

Artemis grinned, his concentration held. Sweat beaded upon his brow, but the earth had risen up and formed a small lump, he was happy, and begin to shout.

He summoned Mooshie, and the two of them romped about all over the grass, play wrestling and just having fun.

OOC: Night all

"Yes?" Xos asked.

"Make sure we aren't heard." Rahegalhoff asked.

xos raised a silence barrier.

"Now, damus was not telling the complete Truth. He has been journying for ten years, but he cannot summon anything. More like he wove that story. And really, I can't blame him. He's convinced himself its true. He probably had no one for company. warfare did lead him here though. Gods are mysterious." Rahegalhoff said.

"you say that and yet your a Demi-God." Xos said.

Rahegalhoff gave xos a look that spoke volumes on his opinion of xos's words.

"Its also true that Shiva taught him how to fight. Though it probably needs refinement." Rahegalhoff said.

"What do we do then?" Xos asked.

"Keep an eye on him. Years of being alone can drive a man mad." Rahegalhoff said.

"Okay, I'll spread the word among the Archwizards and Kaymirilian Elite. I know we'll keep an eye on him. Hopefully the Kaymirilians will help us, I think I'll also have him speak with Galvenor." Xos said.

"Galvenor is wise and powerful." Rahegalhoff said.

"Galvenor could probably best us all, Warhaven archwizards and Kaymirilian elite Combined." Xos said.

Rahegalhoff walked off laughing heartily.

"Well Rosemary my name is Teji. I am a Troll from the planet of Misra. I have come here offering the assistance of my planets bio tech and war forces in return for the knowledge of the people of the tower."

I'm with the tailed girl, when do lessons start? and winged furry one, you are short compared to most Avarhierrims, even I'm short. its not so bad.
"Even so, it's rather impolite to bring it up, also, if I deserve the term short, what about everyone else?" He asked

"I said vertically challenged, what more do you want? I'm going to find a tutor, I've wasted enough time here. (to Rosemary)- I'm Fingal."

Klelt just shook his head and muttered under his breath, "It's not the short I'm offended by, but by the your selective useage of it, you bureaucrat."

Eldrad was still in earshot, and he looked at Ichiro,"Your best chance would be to cease whining, and be more proactive. Unless you actively go searching for a tutor, you will not find one."

*Snip*

"Well, excuse me," Ichiro huffed while pulling the letter from her bag, "I was looking when I first got here. And I was told to give this letter to whomever was in charge. I met Klelt, got a snack, then came out for Klelt's demo of his abilities," a pause for breath, "and I don't recall anyone asking what I could do."

"Ichiro, calm down," sent Eragon on a general mindspeak channel so all could 'hear' it.

"Yes, sir," she replied softly.

Eragon was standing in the shadows, still in his Draconic Form. Even he needed to allow his magick to rest after Changing so many times, as Changing was one of the most tiring things a Dragonlord could do, and he had done it three times in less than a half-hour span that day.

Switching to a private channel, he sent to Eldrad, "You'll have to excuse her. She is young and has not yet learned patience."

Switching back to the public channel, Eragon sent, "Greetings, Rosemary. I am Eragon."

"And I'm Ichiro Suzuki," Ichiro said while giving a curtsy in greeting.

"Selective usage? oh, your upset that I only called you short. fine all of you are short, I'm short, who really cares, only those **** caros" said Fingal bitterly

Rosemary said hello in return to all those who had greeted her.

Eldrad's eyes narrowed as Ichiro went off on her rant. In a private manner, he replied to Eragon,She is young, but she must learn patience quickly. IMpatience breeds anger, and that can be the worst of all emotions when performing magick

Turning to Eldrad Teji addresses him asking. "If You would please sir could you tell me who I should go to to begin to understand majic. I precive that you are one of the leaders of this place hence why I am asking you."

OOC: Are the halls and doors big enough to accomodate some one that in closing in on 9 feet tall.

Rosemary said hello in return to all those who had greeted her.

Eldrad's eyes narrowed as Ichiro went off on her rant. In a private manner, he replied to Eragon,She is young, but she must learn patience quickly. IMpatience breeds anger, and that can be the worst of all emotions when performing magick

"Agreed," sent Eragon to Eldrad on the same private channel, "one of the reasons she was sent to this Tower was to learn patience. That, and control over her instinctual abilities. She has latent power, but little conciousious(sp?) control over them."

More calm this time, Ichiro asked, "So, where can I find somebody who can teach me more ways I can control my Fire powers?"

When Loki woke up he straightened his hat and got out of bed. He sat down on the floor for an hour and meditated, concentrating his focus intensely.

Grabbing his staff, he walked downstairs to the courtyard in search of Xos.

Artemis walked into the courtyard. He was looking for Rahegalhoff, or one of the rangers that had been with him. He wanted some tips.

He saw the famed ranger with some others, they were talking, but he couldn't hear them, even though he was not far away. He called to the ranger, but was not heard, or was ignored. He decided to wait for the ranger to finish talking.

The rangerwalked off the other way, and Artemis followed him, calling

"Rahegaloff"

OOC: Artimis, please refrain from future such Godmods.

IC: Artimis confused the man that looked quite similar to Rahegalhoff, but in fact, was not.

Tharivol, the Ranger who offered to teach him, stepped out of a hallway.

"That wasn't Raggy old boy, I'm afraid he went off elsewhere, anything I can help you with?" Tharivol asked.

Xos meanwhile, was in the Cafeteria, enjoying some breakfast.

As Loki walked into the courtyard he looked around for Xos but could not find him. He asked a few people if they knew where he was, but they did not.

Puzzled at where he might be, Loki continued to search the halls of the tower looking for him. When he had circled the around for the third time, Loki heard his stomach grumble. "Ah, so hungry..." Loki said as he realized he hadn't eaten in three days.

Loki walked through the halls and finally found his way to the cafeteria. He walked in and looked around for some food.

Splib wandered off into the many halls and corridors looking for a place to quell his Halfling stomach, he eventually found his way into the eating hall where a man was already looking for food, "excuse me kind sir, might you know where i might go to learn the Majicks of the world?"

Xos took a drink, and spoke up.

"It depends more specifically what kind of Magick you wish to learn." xos said.

As Loki heard a familiar voice he turned to see him talking to a halfling looking figure. Loki first went and got some food before walking over to where Xos was. He stood there patiently waiting for the two to finish their conversation.

startled by the voice behind him Splib turned sharply, "Greetings Dear Sir, I came wishing to learn spells which can better protect my nation, already I know the majicks of Illusion and Conjuring but these are next to none compared with the majicks I have seen."

"Perhaps Agrinja, conjuring and illusions are childsplay. Agrinja can teach you far greater magicks." Xos said.

OOC: And Evil rears its ugly head again.

IC: Kamigawa- World of the Spirits.

11 people are out on an desolate barren plain, some are women, some are men.

with them, is a gigantic feind, huge, nearly twice the size of the White Tower in size, his body is long and scaly, and is very like a snake's Two long arms extend on either side, and sharp dragonish claws decorate the end. His body is green, with patches of Black. His head is as a Dragons, and whiskers extend on either side of his snout.

This, thing, is more powerful than the Elemental Fiends, and more powerful than the zodiac Fiends infront of him. He seems to be their leader. This Fiend, is Serpantarius.

"Feind Aquarius, why did you not attack the White Tower while you were there?" Serpantarius Demanded.

"I am not yet a full fiend, Serpantarius, you know that." Aquarius defended herself.

"That matters little. The blood of the feinds still runs in your veins. You can defeat anything mortal. Such failures will not be tolerated again in the future." Serpantarius said with a hiss.

"so then, what will we do? Pisces was a weak nothing. They probably think they have the better of us." Fiend Libra said.

"Why don't you take them then?" Aries said with a sneer.

"Ahh, yes. You have the name of a Wargod, yet you do not have the paitence for it. True they still reel from yesterday's attack, but they will still be on their Guard. Pisces is naught but a Warm up. I will go next, and I will strike when the time is right. On occasion, children play at the Tower. So weak and innocent, they'll do anything to save those they care about. When the Time is right, I'll wager a bet with one of them. I'll even make it seem easy, but they can't beat me, I'm a feind." Fiend Libra said with an air of confidence.

Indeed he was fast, even the other feinds had trouble outracing him.

"And what would the point of that be?" Taurus asked.

"Simple, its the Terms of the Deal. They win, I'll willingly go straight to hell without dying. They lose, I get their soul to use any way I please, and I'll use it to control them, and find more information. They refuse to race, and they die right then and there." Libra said.

The Feinds grinned.

"your Evil. Using a Child like that. I like it." Serpantarius said.

the feinds dispersed, it never once crossed their mind that Libra might loose.

After Xos had given the halfling his advice, Loki spoke for the first time that morning, "Good morning, master Xos."

OOC: This is after I talk with Eldrad as I am still waiting for him to reply. I know that Snake is busy right now so I shall place this as a preview.

IC: That night Teji went to one of the empty rooms and claimed it for himself. He then takes out all his bio enhancement pills and organizes them. He then takes one speed pill one mental pill one strength pill one endurence pill and oneresistance pill and puts them in his pocket. He then puts the rest away in a secret place behind one of the loose stones in the walls.

After Xos had given the halfling his advice, Loki spoke for the first time that morning, "Good morning, master Xos."

"good morning young Loki. Sit, sit, have some breakfast. After we're done, we'll go to the Courtyard.

*Xos turns to Squib*

Young man, Agrinja is the Wizard in the Black Robes with the stars, and the frightning aura of Death. don't be afraid, he doesn't bit, friends. He has however, been known to bite enemies, but only when left with no other alternitive.

*Back to Loki*

I hear Khalan and her Healers are going to run through the tower today, make sure no potentally harmful drugs are in there. You didn't perhaps, hide anything, did you?" Xos asked.

Loki sat down with his plate of food and began eating while Xos talked to Squib.

When Xos turned back to him, Loki responded, "Huh? Me? Nope... just went to bed when I got to my room and then when I woke up I meditated and went around looking for you."

Ichiro had climbed a tree and fell asleep in the branches after not getting an answer to her question the night before. Blinking, she yawned and stretched(sp?) before retrieving her bag from the branch she had hung it on. Looking down, she saw Eragon, in his human form, sitting at the base of the tree in a state of Kel'no'reem. Quitly, she climbs down with her bag slung across her back. Once down, she goes to the ladies' restroom that had been pointed out to her the day before. Inside, she changed out of her old clothes and put on an outfit that included white blouse, white socks, black shoes, and a smoke-gray pleated knee-length skirt. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she headed for the dining area looking for someone to ask who she should talk to about getting some Fire training.

Upon realising that the helpful man had gone back to another convorsation Splib took some bread and went off to find this Agrinja, all the while he was producing Acorns from his empty money pouch, such was the power of illusionism.

Squib finds him. A man was sitting, surrounded by similar wizards, only their robes were not as decprated as his. He looks unnaturally old. Squib can feel the lingering aura of death that usually accomapnies a Necromancer. Shy people also feel Terror. This man, with the highly Decorated robes is Agrinja, Archwizard of Destruction.

Agrinja looks Squib in the eyes for a moment, and then goes back to his breakfast.


Ichiro finds a Wizard in Red robes, also highly decorated, playing with Fire Magick, demonstrating fire spells to some young wizards in training.

Obviously, this Wizard specialises in Fire Magicks.

Piekrom']Turning to Eldrad Teji addresses him asking. "If You would please sir could you tell me who I should go to to begin to understand majic. I precive that you are one of the leaders of this place hence why I am asking you."

OOC: Are the halls and doors big enough to accomodate some one that in closing in on 9 feet tall.
Eldrad found it hard to decipher the troll's language, but understood enough to know what he was trying to say,"I am no leader here. I am the watcher, the one who watches all and misses nothing."

*Snip*

Ichiro stops to watch. She would wait until he was done before approaching, as she didn't want to interrupt him.

Eldrad found it hard to decipher the troll's language, but understood enough to know what he was trying to say,"I am no leader here. I am the watcher, the one who watches all and misses nothing."

"Well do you know who I should go to to discuse the aliance of my Planet to the tower, or who could begin my training for that matter?"

OOC: I am using common tounge there is no need to translate.

Loki finished eating his food and stood up next to Xos, "So... what are we going to do today?"

OOC: Errrrr, I am sorry, but i could swear that you just said that I God Modded, errr actually, I didn't, I simply Rped what your character had already done, I didn't affect what you had already said in any way.

IC: "Well actually, I would like some help in anything ranger like. Let me explain, I hardly know anything to do with rangers, apart from fighting at the moment, and I can calm small animals, I want to learn as much as I can about rangers though, can you help me?"

"Basic stuff." Xos said.

The Man turned and looked at Icharo.

"May I help you?" he asked, while juggling five fireballs at once.

OOC: Errrrr, I am sorry, but i could swear that you just said that I God Modded, errr actually, I didn't, I simply Rped what your character had already done, I didn't affect what you had already said in any way.

IC: "Well actually, I would like some help in anything ranger like. Let me explain, I hardly know anything to do with rangers, apart from fighting at the moment, and I can calm small animals, I want to learn as much as I can about rangers though, can you help me?"

Haha, Rangers generally fight in one of two styles, Duel swords, or become exellent Marksmen. With much practice, you can do both, as I have. Calming small animals is great. There's more to Rangers than meets the eye though. Perhaps after awhile, you will gain a companion, an animal companion. Plus, you will learn some small Magick. Come then, show me your skills, to Courtyard three, in the north of the Tower." Tharivol said.

With that, he vanished round a corner, and disappeared.

Klelt decided to seek out Ichiro, and, having found her sat down to watch her.

Klelt decided to seek out Ichiro, and, having found her sat down to watch her.

"Good Morning Klelt." The man said. How he knew Klelts name, was a mystery.

"I don't believe we've been introduced, so who are you?" Klelt asked the strange man.

"Rahegalhoff, we're the Archwizards of Warhaven. Rahegalhoff is the Master of the warhaven Paladins. Rahegalhoff, is second in command of Warhaven." Ray said.

"Do you suffer from MPS?" Klelt asked

"Basic stuff." Xos said.

"Ok. Well I am ready when you are," Loki said as he took a drink of water.

"Do you suffer from MPS?" Klelt asked

"Why do you ask?"

"Refering to yourself as we, calling yourself by the third person, that sort of thing." Klelt replied

"Look around you Klelt. Can you not see the other Wizards as decorated as I, in diffrent colored Robes? Can you not see our students, in lesser Decorated Robes? As i said, we are the Archwizards of Warhaven. Our Leader Stands to Escort Loki the Dwarf." he said.

Xos stood.

"Then let us retreat to an empty area." Xos said to Loki.

Klelt shook his head and thought, "They're all loony."

Loki nodded his head, "Okay... I will follow you," he said as he prepared himself.

Xos found an unoccupied room.

" Don't think your meditation is over, I expect at least three straight uninterupted hours of Meditation a day. for now though, tell me what you have learned from your meditation." Xos said.

Loki nodded his head, "Well... I have learned that I need to be able to control myself and not allow emotions to overtake me - I think I can do this by focusing my mind and concentrating..."

Klelt shook his head and thought, "They're all loony."
"If you doubt of our sanity," a little Blue Class mage said, "then leave. We've no need for doubters here."

"I never said anything about your sanity." Klelt replied

"All things take time, Practice, and one day you will master controling your emotions. Emotions, are a double edged sword. They can add power to your magick, yet cand also drive you insane. I have watched passivly, in the Shadows. I have observed, that many feel Emotion has no place in Magick. they feel only Logic, Cold, hard, Logic, should be there, or worse, nothing at all. Let it all be instinctive, Reactive. This is the Bases of a Law based Person. Perhaps you've heard of the Borg? They Represent Law at its best. They do naught, but follow their rules, which never change, and never cease. It has been theorised, that all lLaw aligned beings will eventually evolve to that state of Being. This is a Fine Philosophy to have. Emotions are powerful things, I admit. A lifestyle like this will rarely get you into trouble.

Yet Emotions are there, and they are powerful. They lend great strength, and are Chaotic. Those who use their Emotions are terrors on the battle feild, and completly genuine in all they do, for they battle with everything. Yet, Emotions are powerful, as I've stated, Emotions can get the best of one, causing a person to make choices they ordinarily would not make. Perhaps you have heard of slivers? They seem to be Lawful Creatures, but there is no Rhyme or Reason for what they do. They are Chaotic Creatures, and complete opposites of the Borg. The one binding factor in them all, is their Queen. Without her, Slivers would become Slaves of their emotions, and eventually destroy themselves.

Now don't get me Wrong, living a life of Chaos is not a bad thing, its just that most will see you as Wild, and unpredictable. Neither lifestyle is perfect, for in the end, both are self-defeating. The Borg have very little Reproduction capabilities. If left to their own devices, unnapposed, they would assimilate and or kill everything in Creation. Without outside species to expand with, to learn from, they would collapse, and die.

There is a third lifestyle, it is one, where Emotions are used, yet are controlled well, preventing them from Ruling. Strength is gained from them, yet Logic makes the decisions in the end. The Archwizards and I, we embody this Lifestyle. Our Magick is strengthened by what we feel, yet is ruled over by our Logic.

Law and Chaos need one another, Feed upon one another. Without one, the other will vanish. thus, is part of the basis of the theory of Balance. If Law were to become too powerful, it would Destroy Chaos, yet if Chaos were to become too powerful it would destroy Law.

I have spoken much. Tell me, do yoou have any Questions?" Xos asked.

"I never said anything about your sanity." Klelt replied
Her eyes glinted a bit. "But you were thinking it."

"If you doubt of our sanity," a little Blue Class mage said, "then leave. We've no need for doubters here."

Ray thought it odd, a Water Mage to be with fire wizards, but, whatever tickled His?/Her? fancy.

"And your point is?" He asked

Snip

Loki listened closely to Xos, "Not really... I just want to learn all that I can."

"And your point is?" He asked
"You cannot understand the method if you don't understand the motives. You don't know why we do what we do, so you judge."

"Could you provide a road-map to that sentance?" He asked, as her statement made little sense to him.

By now exactly 35 wizards, including Ray, the Archwizard, watched this little snit between the two.

It would be wise for Klelt to simply keep the aegument, verbal, and non-combative, after all, the 35 wizards would leap to the mages defence, long before even considering Klelts.

"Basic stuff." Xos said.

The Man turned and looked at Icharo.

"May I help you?" he asked, while juggling five fireballs at once.

"Sure," she replied, "If you can teach me more ways to control Fire."

She smiled sweetly at him hoping he would agree. She had reasons for wanting to learn more Fire abilities than the diplomatic ones the Saethe had when they had picked her to come to the White Tower to learn.

OOC: Her back-story is coming together quite nicely (and it is quite colorful).

"Sure," she replied, "If you can teach me more ways to control Fire."

She smiled sweetly at him hoping he would agree. She had reasons for wanting to learn more Fire abilities than the diplomatic ones the Saethe had when they had picked her to come to the White Tower to learn.

OOC: Her back-story is coming together quite nicely (and it is quite colorful).

Ray turned to Icharo.

"Sure, come with me." He said.

He went outside to an open area, all Cobblestone, and a water fountain.

"But before I do, Tell me, why is it you wish to learn of Fire. It is a powerful thing, and those that play with Fire, will get burned." Ray said.

Loki listened closely to Xos, "Not really... I just want to learn all that I can."

"and that is a Good Goal, yet without questions, how can one ever truely learn? Meditate on what you have learned. Come to me before Dinner with a Question, make it a good one." Xos said.

"Could you provide a road-map to that sentance?" He asked, as her statement made little sense to him.
"I am telepathic. Your thought as to the state of our collective sanity was to the negative. You think us to be odd...different."

She holds up her hand and a little bit of water pulls itself out of the air.

"I have talent in manipulating water...making it change its form...making it change its nature..." the few ounces she had swirled and danced around her, defying gravity. "I know how it acts to both heal and to destroy. But I also understand how energy acts to make it act, so I can understand how my brother can work, and my mother and father as well...a pyromancer, a geomancer and an aeromancer, respectively."

As she'd been speaking, the water had frozen, and then, just as swiftly, evaporated.

"You understand nothing. You don't know how or why we do what we can. You don't know the discipline behind it, and so you say to yourself, 'these people are not normal, these people are odd,' and you cannot understand. You merely make judgements."

The water in the air around Klelt turned to frost, clinging to his wings, ears, hair, and tail.

"It will hinder you. Until you can understand, you cannot judge. Until you know, you cannot judge. You don't even know enough to think, yet."

She released her grip on the water in the air, and the frost clinging to Klelt melted.

"I suggest you adopt a more humble attitude, if you expect to learn any magick here."

The Fire Wizards simply nodded in agreement with the Water Mage. They were collectivly surprised that she had Telepathic abilities.

Ray turned to Icharo.

"Sure, come with me." He said.

He went outside to an open area, all Cobblestone, and a water fountain.

"But before I do, Tell me, why is it you wish to learn of Fire. It is a powerful thing, and those that play with Fire, will get burned." Ray said.

Ichiro followed him outside.

"Mainly," Ichiro replied when she heard his question, "because I am of Fire," to avoid a long question and answer session, she added, "everyone in the Dominion is born with the ability to control one of the eighteen magickal Elements. As a Kyubi, I have the ability to control Fire. In case you were wondering, I don't make the Fire, I draw the Fire Energy from the surrounding environment. All of the Elements exist in balance, my ability allows me to bring the Fire out of balance. When I am done, the Fire Energy is allowed to return to balance. Works that way for everyone that has any control over one of the Elements," she pauses for breath before adding, quietly, "and my family is still out there, still needing to be rescued."

OOC: The rescue of Ichiro's family is being planned for a future RP of mine.

"you understand much, young one. Tell me though, what are the Eighteen Elements. I ask, simply so we can get in the same train of thought. Warhaven for instance, recognizes many, many elements. Some, are individual, unique elements, some, exist only in concept, some are combinations of Elements. This list goes on and on." Ray said to icharo, while turning the Fireballs to Ice.

"First of all, I wasn't talking about you drow mages, but the one who called himselves Rahegalhoff and the archwizards of Warhaven. No, I don't know how or why you utilize magicks in the way you do, but I understand the discipline required in the learning of magick, as I possess the discipline required for my varients of the art." Klelt replied calmly. "As to your claims that I view you and your peoples as odd, you are dead right, but that is because I've never bothered to study the PSEC underpinnings of your society. I'd also appreciated that you do not attack me for what I think, if you wish to attack me, do so for my actions and deeds, not my thoughts."

"Thoughts influence actions. Thoughts influence words."

She looked to the pyromancers of Warhaven. "This one, as he is, will learn nothing. Whichever of you thinks to train him, you are forewarned."

Water pulled itself from the air around her, swirled around her in a rush of blue, and she was gone.

While the Mage was disappearing...

"We do not Choose to Train, only the Archwizards can choose to accept new students into the Orders, and even still, only they can decide who trains who." One Wizard said. He in particular had fancied the Kaymirilian Mage.

He was sorry to se her go.

Klelt chuckled to himself, "Just like a woman to insist on getting the last word in." He then pulled a glowing, multi-hued yo-yo, and began yo-yoing. The yo-yo left a trail of rainbowed light as he preformed a number of tricks with it.

Klelt's yo-yo burst into flames.

One of the pyromancers had been her older brother.

"My sister was absolutely correct. Leave this courtyard now."

"Do you mind?" Klelt asked, refering to the yo-yo as the flames only interfered with the lights that it gave off. "Also, I believe this tower is open to anyone with peaceful intents, or have I been mislead?"

Klelt found himself surrounded by 50 Wizards of Fire.

"Wassup Homeboy?"
"You like insulting our Kaymirilian Brethren?"
"You think you a big man for picking on a little Girl?"
"Why don't we take this outside, an you show us, how big a man you really are?"
"Naw, he won't do it. This one's a pussy."
"A coward? you mean he brave enough to confront little girls, but he aint big enough to stand up to little ol' us?"

"Be outside in 20 minutes, or forever remain a coward."

It was a known fact that Warhavenites would always leap to the honor of the innocent.

The Fire mage was also welcome too, join in.

"you understand much, young one. Tell me though, what are the Eighteen Elements. I ask, simply so we can get in the same train of thought. Warhaven for instance, recognizes many, many elements. Some, are individual, unique elements, some, exist only in concept, some are combinations of Elements. This list goes on and on." Ray said to icharo, while turning the Fireballs to Ice.

Ichiro sighed, she really didn't like having to repeat herself, even if it was to different people.

"The original seventeen magickal Elements recognized by the Dominion of Dragon Emperor are," she said, "Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Stone, Electricity, Gravity, Sound, Darkness, Light, Chaos, Order, Life, Death, Ice, Emotion, and Nature. Element eighteen, only just recognized, is Metal," she paused to think for a moment, "must of what I know is from the two Archivists at Dragonskeep."

"and that is a Good Goal, yet without questions, how can one ever truely learn? Meditate on what you have learned. Come to me before Dinner with a Question, make it a good one." Xos said.

Slightly dissappointed, Loki bowed his head and left Xos. He walked out to the courtyard and sat down on the ground. He closed his eyes and crossed his legs as the sun rose high in the sky.

Loki sat for many hours, meditating and thinking of an important question. Sure he had lots of questions, but none that he thought were important enough for the time being.

As he meditated he heard a familiary voice in his mind:

Ask what is in your heart...

Loki pondered the statement for a while before deciding on a question to ask. In fact, he had a few questions he wanted to ask. He went off in search of Xos so he could ask him, why some people can control magic, while others can not? and what the strongest type of magic is?

But the main question on Loki's mind was:

What is magic?

In his search for Xos, Loki entered a room filled with fifty or so mage looking figures who had surrounded, Klelt.

"Um... is something the matter?" Loki asked quiety in his innocent sounding voice.

Ichiro sighed, she really didn't like having to repeat herself, even if it was to different people.

"The original seventeen magickal Elements recognized by the Dominion of Dragon Emperor are," she said, "Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Stone, Electricity, Gravity, Sound, Darkness, Light, Chaos, Order, Life, Death, Ice, Emotion, and Nature. Element eighteen, only just recognized, is Metal," she paused to think for a moment, "must of what I know is from the two Archivists at Dragonskeep."

"Ahh. I understand. Some of what I teach you, will blend accross many elements. Can you handle this? Oh, and we consider Nature to be the Blend of ALL Elements, no matter what they are, or whether their Magickal, Scientific,or otherwise. Nature IS the elements. Perhaps you should see the Elemental Warrior sometime. He is if anything, an avatar of nature, being the living embodiment of every Element combined.

"You'd have to ask them, as I'm at a loss as to explain what they're saying. They have this strange accent and dictation that I can't figure out." Klelt replied to Loki's question.

"They're challenging you to a fight," the pyromancer explained.

"But it was my sister who you so flippiantly insulted. Thus, I will be your opponent. Twenty minutes...beyond the boundaries of the Tower."

"Might I enquire as to how I insulted your sister. I can understand if my words offended her, but I did not intentionally insult her." Klelt replied to the challenging pyromage.

"Huh?" Loki said as he looked at all the people. "Seems like a harsh reaction... maybe you could just talk it out?"

Before the situation could explode, 300 Paladins started forcing everyone out.

"Out! Out! Everyone Out and all of ye involved are to go to seperate Corners and not speak to Each other for several days. This Tower will not become one of Bloodshed. Get Out NOW." Rahegalhoff bellowed. The Paladins began pushing everyone out, their sheilds interlocking.

"You insult all of us with your words and flippiant actions. My sister was right, you need to be more humble."

Fire started to burn at the edges of the Pyromancer...almost imperceivabley.

"Perhaps you will be able to learn some of that in twenty minutes' time."

With a flare, he disappeared.

"Some people need to learn to relax, not everything needs to be so strict and regimented." Klelt commented to no one in particular as he left, following the paladins instructions.

Happy to see that nobody was getting hurt, Loki turned to one of the Paladins, "Have you seen master Xos? I need to find him."

"Ahh. I understand. Some of what I teach you, will blend accross many elements. Can you handle this? Oh, and we consider Nature to be the Blend of ALL Elements, no matter what they are, or whether their Magickal, Scientific,or otherwise. Nature IS the elements. Perhaps you should see the Elemental Warrior sometime. He is if anything, an avatar of nature, being the living embodiment of every Element combined.

"In the Dominion," Ichiro said, "those who are of the Element of Nature have control over plant and animal life. I once saw one cause grass to wrap around a pick-pocket's ankles after he had taken her ingrediant pouch.

"As for cross-Elemental stuff, I don't know all the laws that govern the Elements, but I think that if it includes some aspect of Fire, I may be able to get around the fact that someone who can control more then one Element is very rare."

Artemis got toe courtyard three a bit later, having gone to his room to pick up his longbow and weapons.

Piekrom']"Well do you know who I should go to to discuse the aliance of my Planet to the tower, or who could begin my training for that matter?"

OOC: I am using common tounge there is no need to translate.
OOC: Yes, but your spelling is, at times, appaling. Which is why sometimes it is difficult to understand.

IC: "That depends solely on what form of of magick you wish to learn."

His entire demenour changed as the situation escalated beyond belief. In the first time since this tower had stood, people were being forced out of the doors by force. He would have to do something... but outside the boundries of the Tower, his authority ceased. Although, many knew that to argue with the veteran master would bring a world of pain none would have expierenced before. Eldar were not renowned for their forgiveness in the long term.

"Well that is a problem because I do not know were my strengths are as I have no prior Knowledge of magik."

"It is difficult to know where to direct you if you cannot tell me what you are seen to be gifted in."

"Well do you know someone who can tell me were my strengths are

"There is a way. Tell me, do you feel an attraction towards any particular branch of magick?"

I have never attempted to use magik before. It has become a lost art on our planet that we want to recover, but would rather have some guidence so as not to destroy our selves."

*Adaine had heard what had happened and found Klelt*

"you aren't going to fight him in twenty minutes are you?"
Adaine asked incredulasly (sp?) "he's a fire master, he'll probably kill you"

"He might, and he might not." Klelt replied, skirting the question of whether he'd fight the pyromage.

Artemis approached the ranger.

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Piekrom']I have never attempted to use magik before. It has become a lost art on our planet that we want to recover, but would rather have some guidence so as not to destroy our selves."

Eldrad sighed,"What do your records say about magick? Did your people have any particular skill, in say, geomancy?"

(OOC: wow, this thread moves fast)

Splibb wandered up to the Wizard exhuberantly, he was eager to learn whatever he could, the Spootians back home would be so pleased for him, "Excuse me Mr Wizard, I was directed here when asked to learn the Majicks of the world, can you aid me?" He asked nervously pulling another acorn from his sleeves and adding it to the 30 others in his money pouch.

"All we realy have are a few artifacts left over. For the past 100,000 years we have worked on technology and managed to combine tech with nature. Around 100,000 years ago almost all magik disapeared, but it has just reacently started to work its way back into our people. So we have nothing to know what our magik can do."

Artemis approached the ranger.

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Which style do you prefer, Ranged, or hand to hand Combat?" Tharivol asked.

Agrinja looked up. squib could see Death in those Eyes. This man had Killed before, without Mercy, without hesitation.

"Do you have the Talent for Magick? if so, what kind, what do you know?" Agrinja asked.

Xos tapped Loki on the Shoulder.

"Isn't it exciting? a fight!" Xos said. He was a sucker for fights, especially ones he was involved in.

Meanwhile, somebody in Warhaven had gotten word that an Avatar of Rahegalhoff, The Avatar of Rahegalhoff, rather, had violated one of the Laws of warhaven concerning actions in Neutral Territory. It had to be Arianna, because countless Vines enveloped all 300 Paladins, and Rahegalhoff's Avatar, and disappeared, taking them all with them.


"So Barbaric." Chron, the Archwizard of Time said, while sipping a cup of tea.

"Umm... I guess," Loki responded, "Though I don't see the need for fighting over such a senseless argument..."

Agrinja looked up. squib could see Death in those Eyes. This man had Killed before, without Mercy, without hesitation.

"Do you have the Talent for Magick? if so, what kind, what do you know?" Agrinja asked.

(OOC: lol, Angrinja would look down to see Squib, he is only yay high)

looking into those eyes made Splib shudder, he continued with an example of one of the most powerful of his tricks, he grabbed a rag from his satchel and held it over a table, after counting to three he pulled the rag away revealing nothing where the table once sat, "I am an Illusionist sir, and I beleive that I have a talent for the Majicks!"

"Well I have been trained in fighting by the swordmasters here and byu others, but I have never fought two weaponed before, and that is what I have now got. I am a pretty fair shot with the bow though."

"He might, and he might not." Klelt replied, skirting the question of whether he'd fight the pyromage.

"I don't think they will allow it, we're embassaries, It would look very bad if we were in any danger here."

"I don't think they will allow it, we're embassaries from our nations, It would not look good if we were in any danger here."
"Maybe, but we don't have Official status." Klelt replied

"well, actually as a government official, I have to report about what is happening here."

"They could call you a spy." Klelt replied

"They could call you a spy." Klelt replied

"well how else is Avarhierrim supposed to find out about you barbarians and savages?"

"A. Not savages and/or barbarians. B. Ask people?" Klelt replied

"A. Not savages and/or barbarians. B. Ask people?" Klelt replied

"of course your savages and barbarians, your foriegners. and we don't talk to foriegners"

OOC: Fingal is just spouting what every Avarhierriene is taught-they are superior. which is ironic because he's only half Avarhierrine, thus what he said about Caros or purebloods

"Then why are you talking to me?" He asked with a grin.

"Then why are you talking to me?" He asked with a grin.

"you are interesting, so is the tailed girl. its very informative talking to you young people."

"And how old do you think I am?" Klelt asked

"And how old do you think I am?" Klelt asked

"hm, you both appear to be in adolesence, but its because you seem to be so impatient and enthusiastic"

"So, what do you think my age is?" Klelt pressed

"fifteen? I'm sorry if your much older, but Avarhierrine children grow up alot faster to stay alive."

"Would you believe over a hundred?" Klelt asked

but if you converted to Snake Eaters scale?

"Would you believe over a hundred?" Klelt asked

"I wouldn't be surprised," said Eragon as he walked up on the two.

He had finished his meditation a few minutes prior.

"I'm not sure the S.E. scale, I'm basing it off the Terra scale." Klelt replied

"I'm twenty-one on the SE scale. 152 on terra i think. so your older, though you appear much younger"

"We age much slower than normal." Klelt replied

ooc: Do you know that S.E. uses such a regressed scale?

"So I see. Avarhierrines mature as fast as they can. you are pushed to be self-sufficent."

OOC: go through the white towers previous pages from the start.

ooc: tripple post....

you aren't really asking him to go through 900 pages...

ooc: tripple post....

you aren't really asking him to go through 900 pages...

yeah I know sorry..

well then I'll find the page.

ooc: woh... calm down with the falming... they made a mistake its not a big deal. Just explain it to them without calling them all idiots.

edit: I know it is not a small thing but it was a little mistake and just a simple bump in the RP... it can be fixed rather simply and there is no need to get all out of whack about it.

woh... calm down with the falming... they made a mistake its not a big deal. Just explain it to them without calling them all idiots.
OOC: It's been edited, but it is a big deal to try and manage another person's timescale in any way, shape or form.

OOC:... I dislike people who godmod with a passion.

ooc: as do I, but it wasn't intentional. Avarhierrim thought you used a different scale. I am sure he will fix his posts when he reads this.

OOC: Enough OOC chit-chat. You're clogging the thread.

IC: Eragon groaned as he watched the two banter back and forth.

"That will be quite enough," he said, "I didn't stop by to watch the two of you argue."

what's wrong? and I'm a she by the way.

Eldrad held up his hand,"I will ignore your obvious ignorance for a moment to set the record straight. Snake Eaters uses the standard Terra scale... whatever you are talking about, it is not in use in Snake Eaters. I would suggest you do your research more throughly before saying things such as this"

OOC: I'll tell you what is wrong. You assuming my timescale is different to Terra's, without even consulting me, and attempting to dictate the lenght of an SE year and other such things.

"Then what's up?" Klelt asked

Eldrad held up his hand,"I will ignore your obvious ignorance for a moment to set the record straight. Snake Eaters uses the standard Terra scale... whatever you are talking about, it is not in use in Snake Eaters. I would suggest you do your research more throughly before saying things such as this"

ok I think I miss read the starting threads, hang on.

what's wrong? and I'm a she by the way.

OOC: Little confused now.

IC: "The Dominion of Dragon Emperor uses the standard Gregorian calander as well. Though, we also have other calanders for other purposes, like the Lunar, Solar, and Phoenix calanders," said Eragon.

OOC: Little confused now.

IC: "The Dominion of Dragon Emperor uses the standard Gregorian calander as well. Though, we also have other calanders for other purposes, like the Lunar, Solar, and Phoenix calanders," said Eragon.
OOC: They were assuming I used a different calender, which I don't. I use a Gregorian calender, and always have.

OOC: They were assuming I used a different calender, which I don't. I use a Gregorian calender, and always have.

OOC: Understood. The confused part was in reference to the post I had quoted.

He is older than I am for God's sake!"

either SE or kaymirl have a different scale. I asumed it was SE. not a calendar, how old people are from your nation compared to others.

ooc: lets end the repetitive OOC comments and debate. The issue is now dead...

IC:
Loki decided he might as well ask Xos his questions now, "Umm... I have a few questions. What, in your opinion, is the strongest type of magic? Why can some people(s) use magic while others cant?"

Loki paused momentarily before deciding to ask his main question, "Wh-what is magic?"

OOC: The only reason my people AGE differently is because they're elven-kind.

I still use the 365 days/year deal. Easier that way.

why do people think I'm talking about calendars? My nation and I think klelts too, are going on elven kind life expectancy. seeing Fingals 152 and Klelt is over a hundred (i assumed 2 hundred or something) nothing on how long a year is.

why do people think I'm talking about calendars? My nation and I think klelts too, are going on elven kind life expectancy. seeing Fingals 152 and Klelt is over a hundred (i assumed 2 hundred or something) nothing on how long a year is.

ooc: ugg... How many days are in a year is what determines the length of a year and is what establishes the difference between something like a lunar year and a solar year. It is about the amount of days...

please just let this die...

Klelt awaited Eragon's answer as well, he was interested in his interpretation of magick.

Agrinja looked at Squib, then at the Table. He dispelled Squibs illusion.

Then he pounded a fist on the Table and it ceased to exist completly.

"The Diffrence between what i have done, and what you have done, is that I really have uncreated it. You simply made a trick. I have done high level Magick. You did one of the easiest tricks in the book. To do what I have done, will require many years of work, and there will still be more to learn. Do you have the paitience, and ability to Learn?" Agrinja asked.

Tharivol looked at Artimese.

"There is a Target 100 yards away. Using a bow and Arrow, shoot me three Bullseyes." Tharivol said.

ooc: lets end the repetitive OOC comments and debate. The issue is now dead...

IC:
Loki decided he might as well ask Xos his questions now, "Umm... I have a few questions. What, in your opinion, is the strongest type of magic? Why can some people(s) use magic while others cant?"

Loki paused momentarily before deciding to ask his main question, "Wh-what is magic?"

Xos laughed heartily.

"I did ask for a good question. I wasn't carefull, I got what I wished for.

Anyways, the Answer is quite complex, and so I'll break it down for you.

Magick, is both a force and a Concept. It can manifest in many ways. Perhaps you have heard of Jedi and Sith. They are both Maguick users, though on a very low level. The most well known user, is a Wizard, and the most famour Wizard in all history, is Merlin, the Archmagus.

Anyways, Magick is all around us, in everything, and everyone. Its in you, me, the Janitor down the hall, Eldrad, Even Non-magickal folks, and their everywhere. All it really is, is Raw Energy. A rock has Raw Energy. Water has Energy, the Sun has a lot of energy, the air, everything. Diffrent types act in diffrent ways, and thus you get Law, Chaos, Death, Life, Good, and Evil. Then all the Sub-types. Remember, Law, Chaos, Evil, Good, Death, and life are the only six Energy types that cannot be attributed to another energy type.

Now then, Magick, is also the ability to weild this Raw Energy, and make it do something.

A simple Illusion, a powerful destructive spell. both Require the Raw powers of Magick. Yet, how ius this done? Each spell has a certain way its done. A teacher can demonstrate and show how a spell is done to another wizard that does not know. Even still, it takes practice to get it right, especially Teleportation.

Thus you have what Magick is, the process of using the Raw ingerent Energy all around us, and within us.

Oh, and its not really wise to use up all the energy within yourself. Kaymirilians call it Tupora Fashka. Thus, if they refer to your Tupora Fashka, you know what their talking about. Fashka, is the Raw energy around us.

And your fist question, the most powerful form of Magick is Divine Magick, however only the Gods can use Divine Magick. Mortal Clerics can use a form of it, but only so long as their Patron Deity gives it to them." Xos said. he paused, and conjured a cup of Tea, Green Tea.

Splib looked at where the table had been, a keen eye could see through an illusion but all his looking came to nothing, the table was gone, "I have the patience and the ability, will you teach me?"

Snip

Loki's eyes showed a curiously attentive and look at the mention of Merlin's name*.

After Xos had finished speaking and Loki had taken in all of the information, Loki paused momentarily and then spoke, "Well that makes sense."

Thinking for a moment Loki asked, "So does that mean that everyone has the ability to use magick? Or is there something else to it?"


*Its from Loki's past history and part of another RP.

Piekrom']"All we realy have are a few artifacts left over. For the past 100,000 years we have worked on technology and managed to combine tech with nature. Around 100,000 years ago almost all magik disapeared, but it has just reacently started to work its way back into our people. So we have nothing to know what our magik can do."

OOC: Hope you did not forget our conversation snake. Here is a nice reminder.

Splib looked at where the table had been, a keen eye could see through an illusion but all his looking came to nothing, the table was gone, "I have the patience and the ability, will you teach me?"

Agrinja waved a hand and remade the Table. Then he walked around to Squib.

Aqrinja stared him full in the Eye. Squib would not notice at the moment, but Ahrinja cast a Fear spell. Agrinja became really frightening, towering over Squib, staring at him, doing nothing, saying nothing.

If he can pass my test of Fear...

OOC: Its a Test of Fear, testing Squib to see if he genuinly wishes to Learn. If Squib does not wish to learn, then he will be sent into a Full panic, and he will run from the Tower, and never be seen from again.

If he does wish to learn, the Fear and Terror will be great, yet Squib will find the Courage to return Agrinja's stare. Words are optional.

Loki's eyes showed a curiously attentive and look at the mention of Merlin's name*.

After Xos had finished speaking and Loki had taken in all of the information, Loki paused momentarily and then spoke, "Well that makes sense."

Thinking for a moment Loki asked, "So does that mean that everyone has the ability to use magick? Or is there something else to it?"


Xos thought about it.

"Yes and no. You see, anyone can use Magick, with training and Practice, but only Magi, those with the gift of the Talent for it, can weild it.

You see, *Gestures to the world outside of the Tower, indicating the rest of Creation* out there, somewhere, is a Farmer. An ordinary man, who's never once in his life used magick. One day a traveler stays in his barn, and leaves behind a Wand of Water Magick. The Farmer finds it, but does not know how to use it. The farmer studies it, looks at it closely, and finally, learns how to use the Magick stored in the wand to use its water magick. The Farmer is delighted, and his Crops grow abundantly, helped by the water Magick. But then one day, the wand breaks, the Magick is gone.

The Farmer did not weild magick, but simply used the magick already in the wand. This, any may do, but Wizards and mages, we do it so much better, for we understand how it is used, and how it functions, how to fix it, how to repair it.

Take that same farmer. Its two years later. Its a miracle, his wife has a healthy baby boy. The Farmer is exstatic. Of course, what man would not be overjoyed, at seeing his own children born. I'm sure your father was overjoyed, when your father was born. I know Khalan and I were excited, when our children were born, and even still, just recently, when my eldest Daughter gave birth to my first Grandchild, a Boy, named Jale.

Anyways, over the years the Farmers boy grows, but strange things always occur around this boy. The farmer tries to understand, but cannot underswtand, what is happening.

Then, passing on through, a Wizard passes on through, and passes a night in the Farmer's barn, where he witnesses one night, the noy out back, xasting a small water spell.

The Wizard tells the Father the next day, his son has the Talent, the gift for weilding Magick, and that for his son's own safety, he must be taught how to weild it properly, lest he accidentally hurt those he cared about most.

That boy needed no tools, no wands to practice magick, he could just do it on his own. That boy could weild Magick." Xos said.

Xos looks around, and spots Rildorath off in the distance.

"You see Loki, anybody can use a Sword, I can use a sword. However, I am not particularly effective with it. A street thug could beat me in a sword fight. However, that man over there, is one of Kaymiril's greatest sword fighters. If I put a sword in his hands, he would be a threat, even to dragons, for you see, he understands it, he knows much about swords. He can weild a sword, not just use a sword." Xos said.

OOC: Hope you don't mind Kay. Had to use someone as an example.

Loki became overly quiet at the mention of his father. He stood there for a few moments after Xos had finished, without saying a word. "That's what I thought it was like," Loki said finally after a period of silence, "Just wasn't sure."

"So... what are you going to teach me?" Loki said trying to distract his mind from past memories.

ooc: ugg... How many days are in a year is what determines the length of a year and is what establishes the difference between something like a lunar year and a solar year. It is about the amount of days...

please just let this die...
OOC: Not quite yet.

The only reason years exist in the first place, is to help determine how many months have passed in a certain time. A year, and even a day, are unimportant though, as all they do is measure time itself. Night and day are simply Solar illusions, as the Earth rotates on its axis, and revolves around the earth.If you so choose, you could make a day and a year as long and as short as you wanted it. Thus, Time is only correct, if all agree on the same system of measurement. Imagine the Trouble if you made one day be exactly 500 seconds, one monthe be exactly 500 days, and one year be 500 months. It would be ignored more than likely, but all the same, it is another system of measurement.

This is why Time is nothing more than an illusion, and death and Decay are what we really see. This is also why Time Travel is impossible, at least until the Reversal of Death is possible.

ooc: not exactly.

Yes time is something that is man made. Its an illusion that we have created to make sense of our lives.

However to say that IRL you can make up the length of a year or day is a fallacy. (Year is a relative term... aka an Earth Year) One "Earth Year" is equal to the time it takes the earth to complete a revolution around the sun, as a day is equal to the time it takes the earth to complete a revolution on its axis.

Yes, we could make up how many months are in a year but in the end the "time" elapsed over those months would have to remain constant whether it be 3 months or 30 months.

I suggest since it is a very copmlicated and confusing topic we don't get into it.

"So... what are you going to teach me?" Loki said trying to distract his mind from past memories.

"The power of Energy Magicks, which is the base of all forms of Magick. Without energy, there is no Magick.

There is a God, a really powerful God, he's the son of the Multiverse infact, and his name is Beldragos. He is the One God all energy Mages both rever, and fear at the same time. You see Loki, Beldragos is the most Powerful God of Magick there is, yet at the same time, if you abuse your powers on too great a level, he will take away your ability to use magick. " Xos said.

"I understand," Loki said. "What am I to learn about it?" he asked curiously.

Klelt awaited Eragon's answer as well, he was interested in his interpretation of magick.

IC: Eragon's location

Eragon said, "In the Dominion, one must look inside onself for the Magickal Core. Think of it like any other muscle, only this one manipulates magick, and, like any muscle, it can tire out quickly if you don't exercise it."

Ichiro's location

Ichiro asked the Warhaven Pyro-Wizard, "Is their anything else you want to know?"

OOC: Warhaven, I couldn't continue with Ichiro until you post your response to her answer to your character's last question. So, I went ahead like this.

"Ah, my style is more on simply manipulation of energy, and getting it to preform the necessary tasks. It only really starts to get self-draining for really big stuff, and for very many little stuff." Klelt replied

"Yes, what is the single most powerful fire spell you can currently cast? Don't tell me, Demonstrate, on me." Ray said. Fire sprang up around them at a slight thought from Ray. The flames died down, and they were on an island, in the middle of the Elemental Plane of Water.

"This is for safety reasons. A fire won't get out of control here, and all Fire Magick is opposed by the plane, thus, I won't get hurt as badly." Ray said.

He wondered what Ichiro could do.

OOC: Dragon, there is no such thing as a Pyromage in my Nation, a Pyrowizard, yes, but no Pyromages. There is a diffrence, and I would explain it, but then I would get insulting towards Mages, and Kay uses Mages instead of Wizards. and trust me, upsetting Kay is a BIG Mistake, with a Capitol BIG.

OOC: Got ya. Sorry about the mix-up. I was thinking of the ranks in my military, Mage and Wizard are both ranks, and I guess I got a little crossed up between typing and thinking. I'll correct that post.

IC: "Well," she replied, "that isn't something I can do looking like this."

She closed her eyes and concentrated on the magick of the Change. She would switch to her other form. The one she was in when Linden Rathan rescued her and freed her from the iron collar that had been strapped around her neck (OOC: Just a note, iron plus magick equals unstable environement). A wash of flames surrounded her. When they dissapated, she was in her four-legged form (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y131/Kvess/Character%20Pics/kyubi.jpg). At only one-hundred years old, she wasn't that large, about the size of a small horse.

"I got two Fire techniques," she sent over mindspeak, "One is an area attack and the other is for precision attacks. Which one you want to see?"

OOC: Last post for the night.

ArtEmis slipped his bow off his shoulder, and nocked on an arrow. He drew back the bow string to his cheek, and suighted along the length of the arrow.

He fired, and the first shot went slightly above and to the right of the bull.

He fired again, and hit the bull, but not dead centre.

His next shot missed the bull by about two inches, high and left.

His fourth shot hit dead centre on the target, and his next shot spluit that arrow down the middle.

"Well I have only been practising serously about two weeks," he mumbled.

Then, in Ignan, the Language of the Fire elementals, Fire Spirits, and all other Fire type creatures, he talked again.

"Good, good." Tharivol said.

A druidess removed the Target, and replaced it with another.

Tharivol got out a hunting Rifle, with a rather accurate Scope on it.

The Druidess moved the Target to 1000 meters away.

Tharivol handed the Gun to Artimese.

"That Rifle has exactly five rounds in it. Prove your accuracy with a Gun." Tharivol said.

ooc: lol, how about LSU and Aubrun.

IC:
"I understand," Loki said. "What am I to learn about it?" he asked curiously.

"First, the basics. First you crawl, then you walk, then you run, then, and only then, do you fly. Let me teach you to Fly.

Prove to me your accuracy with pure energy. In what ever type you like, throw a ball of pure energy my way." Xos said.

"Oh good, I havn't seen a rifle since my family died, and the monsters took our family one. I grew up as a forester, so have had to use one of these since I could walk"

He lay down, and pulled out some binoculars, he lay them down beside the rifle.

He looked through the scope, and focused the centre of the crosshairs slightly below the target. He fired, then took the binoculars up to see where abouts the shot went.

He saw that the rifle fired slightly left, and adjusted himself accordingley.

After his five shots he had managed a 4 " grouping to the left of the bull. He was happy with that considering the range.

Tharivol picked his Rifle up, loaded one more Round, and standing there, fired one more into the Bullseye.

"You will learn much, including the art of "Placing the Shot." I can describe it best, as knowing instinctivly when, where, and how to shoot, without even thinking about it. Its as though, nothing else exists, just you, and the Target, nothing else matters, nothing else is there, not even light. Its the most accurate shot I know of." Tharivol said. He put away his Gun, put his Bag of holding off to one side, and drew his two swords with a stylish flourish.

"Now, show mehow good your swordsman ship is. Use all the powers at your command, and I shall use mine. No death though. death is strictly forbidden." Tharivol said.

Artemis drew his scimitar confidently, he had already begun to learn how to control it. He drew his short sword uncertainly, he had never fought two sworded before, he decided to simply use it as a blocker.

He came forwards at the ranger, his scimtar coming in low and hard. The blunt edge was leading.

Tharivol simply skirted around him and gave Artimese a rough shove in the Behind with his boot.

"Tell me, how many weapons do you have?" he asked.

OOC: Haha, please don't assume Artemis is so bad that he allows people to skip behind him and kick him haha.

IC: "Four including my dagger and bow" he said, before thinking
Right

He sent a quick thought to his scimitar, telling to it make the grass about the rangers feet grow long and thick, and tangle him up, before ArtEmis got up again, and went forwards again.

"Both." Ray said over the same channel.

Then, in Ignan, the Language of the Fire elementals, Fire Spirits, and all other Fire type creatures, he talked again.

"I know Ignan is well, go not fear to talk to me in Ignan should you know it." Ray said.

"First off, I've never heard of Ignan before," Ichiro sent back.

She fanned out her nine tails and sent, "This is the area attack. Its called Bob Tail Inferno. Its very effective against giant spider webs."

A small* ball of blue-white flame appeared in front of the tip of each tail. Each ball grew more and more intense. When they were almost to bright to look at, they launched. Each ball followed a seemingly random path through the air in front of her. The effect lasted for ten seconds.

"That was twice as long as the last time I did that," she sent out on a general mindspeak channel without thinking about it. A trace of surprise was easily detectable.

OOC: Remember, she spent most of her life in a cage with an anti-magick iron collar before Linden Rathan rescued her. So, her knowledge of what she can do isn't that great.

Prove to me your accuracy with pure energy. In what ever type you like, throw a ball of pure energy my way." Xos said.

"Ok," Loki said. He took a few steps away from Xos so that there was a good enough distance.

Easy enough.

A ball of energy formed in Loki's right hand at his side. He raised it slightly and the ball went flying directly at Xos body.

OOC: Haha, please don't assume Artemis is so bad that he allows people to skip behind him and kick him haha.

Right

He sent a quick thought to his scimitar, telling to it make the grass about the rangers feet grow long and thick, and tangle him up, before ArtEmis got up again, and went forwards again.

"Nature, let us see the Cleansing power of Fire." Tharivol called.

The power of a Wild Fire sprang up suddenly. The entire Ground was aflame. The Druidess kept it under control, to prevent the Tower from going aflame.

Gere, Tharivol's Wolf sat off to one side, incase Mooshie interfered on Artimiese behalf.

"You are Wrong. You have your hands, Capable of many things. Weilding weapons are merely two of their options. They can also be weapons in and of themselves. You have your Feet, Loyal companions, willing to carry you over any sort of terrain you can find, and even up a mountain. You have your heart. The center of your emotions. They are powerful things, Capable of lending great strength, but also capable of bringing great trouble. No your feelings, master your heart, and you will go far.

Finally, you have your head, your brain, your mind, It is your conciousness, your spirit, Without your mind, you are nothing. No one can live without their head, but many can live without a heart, for another, can always be made.
Your maind gives you logic, understanding, strategy. Never let your mind go to waste." Tharivol said.

He Rushed Artimese giving one blow to the left, one blow to the right, and a Kick to the Groin, topped off with a sound headbutt.

"First off, I've never heard of Ignan before," Ichiro sent back.

She fanned out her nine tails and sent, "This is the area attack. Its called Bob Tail Inferno. Its very effective against giant spider webs."

Ray nodded.

"Impressive, medium level Magick. Now, for a precision shot." Ray said.

"Ok," Loki said. He took a few steps away from Xos so that there was a good enough distance.

Easy enough.

A ball of energy formed in Loki's right hand at his side. He raised it slightly and the ball went flying directly at Xos body.

Xos Caught it. He held it in his right hand, changed it to Fire, to Ice, to water, to electricity, to wind, and finally, to a big Rock, then threw Loki's own Magick back at him.

"Quick, show me a defensive spell." Xos said.

OOC: Loki's spell is that big Rock, for Clarification.

Loki focused his energy quickly and concentrated on blocking the rock. He crossed his arms in front of his body and braced himself, concentrating his energy on an energy shield.

A shield of hot white energy appeared in front of Loki moments before the rock came flying at him. When the rock collided with the shield in broke into lots of smaller pebbles and sent them shattering to the sides.

After the rock had been deflected Loki relaxed his body and the shield disappeared.

"Good, Good." Now then down to basics, I assume, you know how to cast illusions, right?" Xos asked.

Artemis skipped backwards, causing his opponent to overbalance.

He came in himself, his scimitar causing a tree's branch to swing at the other ranger, and Artemis delivered a solid elbow to the back of the other's head, while bringing his knee up.

Tharivol held up a hand.

"Enough." he said. the Druidess put out a hand, and quenched the water.

"Good, i simply did that, because I did not want to worry anout your safety. I also see you have a companion. This is good. My lessons take place in the wild. I hope you enjoy walking." Tharivol said.

"Like walking? I really enjoy walking, it's how I get frmo place to place."

He summoned Mooshie, and sent a telepathic thought

*See how you get on with Gere*

"Is your wolf a magical companion, or one of this world?"

"Good, Good." Now then down to basics, I assume, you know how to cast illusions, right?" Xos asked.

"Umm... well... sort of," Loki said. "I can do small ones, but nothing really big or advanced," he explained. "What sort of illusions did you have in mind?"

"You know, I had a thought. You've just heard me, for now. Go, talk to others around the Tower. See what they have to say, and then choose for yourself, who you really want to teach you." Xos said. He went, and disappeared.

Agrinja looked up, a mess, back on Riptide, could he not get away for even a second?

" I must go, find another to teach you. I cannot return." He said. He faded away.

Ray looked up.

"dear me, but it does seem to be that time again then. I return you to the Tower, find another master, I cannot return." He said, thyen he sent Ichiro away to the Tower.
Then every single Warhaven Wizard disappeared from the Tower, called away by the masters.

Loki was saddened to see Xos disappear, but what could he do. As he walked through the tower he searched for other wizards, but many had disappeared.

How long had he been walking? Days? Months? Years? None of that really mattered, for here, Time had no meaning, yet it was everywhere. then, in the distance, he saw it. The Glorious Darkness had not steered him wrong. Kajeenith found it, the portal to the area beneath the Temple of Resurection.

It was so far, yet so close.

Tharivol picked his things up, and motioned to the druidess.

she came over.

"Alright Valanthe dear, you coming, or staying?" Tharivol asked the druidess, who turned out to be his wife, Valanthe.

"Coming, of course." She said.

"Alright then off to the Train Station. Its Five miles away, by Town. Its really the most comfortable way to travel between here and Riptide." Tharivol said.

With that, he lead them all away from the Tower, and towards Town.

Loki wandered the tower, looking for someone to ask where the wizards had gone. It seemed oddly vacant and quiet.

Ray nodded.

"Impressive, medium level Magick. Now, for a precision shot." Ray said.

"Thanks," Ichiro sent with a slight trace of happiness, "The precision attack is known as Dragon Wheel," she looks behind her, "of course, I'm going to need a running start."

*Snip*

Ray looked up.

"dear me, but it does seem to be that time again then. I return you to the Tower, find another master, I cannot return." He said, thyen he sent Ichiro away to the Tower.
Then every single Warhaven Wizard disappeared from the Tower, called away by the masters.

She Changes back to her two-legged form when he sends her back to the tower with a slight pout on her face.

Loki wandered the tower, looking for someone to ask where the wizards had gone. It seemed oddly vacant and quiet.

"Looks like we need to find some of the others," Eragon says walking up to Loki.

There are many others...literally hundreds of Kaymirilian mages of various classes to choose from, and then Eldrad, of Snake Eaters.

More rare by far was Galvenor...but he'd been known to teach.

"Looks like we need to find some of the others," Eragon says walking up to Loki.

Loki looked up to see Eragon, "Yeh... I guess so."

He thought for a moment before saying, "Its strange, Xos told me to go seek out other teachers and then deicde who I want to teach me... but I was content with him."

Nonetheless, Loki was determined to find a new teacher or at the very least to find out if he wanted Xos more. Loki left Eragon and went searching through the tower's halls and rooms, for teachers or great wizards/mages.

Eragon watched Loki walk off. Ichiro walks up next to Eragon. He looks down and smiles at her. Nodding back, Ichiro sets off to find someone else who could instruct her on Fire stuff.

Artemis set off after the couple, and Mooshie frolicked through the brush on either side of them.

*Keep Alert Mooshie, you never know where we could be attacked.*

*I know that, there's a couple of people here who shudnt be....*

"grrrrrowl!!"

Artemis plunged into the brush where his big cat had growled from, as he entered the bush, a large beastman trippedmhim. He leapt up and did the only thing he could think of doing. He grabbed the creature's horns, and pulled them apart. One horn went flying off, the beast howling. Artemis lost no time, and stabbed the beast through the eye, before going on towards his faithful animal.

*Fingal wandered around, looking for elemental mages to teach him, not looking very hard*

Tharivol put five Arrows in the Beastman's head at the same time.

Valanthe entagled everyone in a 50 yard radius in very thorny vines.

Freke, Tharivol's Wolf ripped its throat out.

Gere, Valanthe's Wolf, nipped it in the Rear.

Valanthe's Vines cause everyone to Bleed.

Ichiro wandered around the Tower looking for someone who could instruct her in the arts of Fire.

Artemis mentally got his scimitar to clear a path through the vines for himself.

He came upon Mooshie, and saw him surrounded by 11 beastmen. Artemis killed two with arrows, and charged in, his scimitar and short sword ready.

He used the scimitar to get some vines to come up and wrap themselves around one beastman. Then he was among them.

Valanthe kneeled, and prayed. 11 great stone hands of Granite came from out of the Ground, and grabbed the Beastmen, holding them in place.

"Enough Artimese, do not needlessly kill. Let us leave them be, in peace. Come, the train station is nearby." Tharivol said.

OOC: Your next actions decide your fate.

Remember, a fool is a fool because he talks instead of listens.

Deep within his library, Galvenor watched the others using his Scrying Pool. He had each group in their own reflection so he could view each one at the same time.

"Hmmm. It seems the others are busy teaching the new students. I will keep watch to see if there are any prospective Talents I might use in my plan."

Galvenor hovered before the pool. His features were lit from the images. His face seemed to take an almost frightening appearance as he studied the images of the others.


OOC:

I am still reading when I can get online.

Ichiro still walked around the tower looking for someone who could teach her some Fire stuff. Not wanting to interrupt anything that may be important, she kep quite. The only sound that came from her was the clack of her shoes on the floor.

Artemis had each blade on a neck, both on a different creature. He wanted to kill them, take them down so that they could never needlessly attack and kill innocents.

Memories of his family slaughtered by the things surged through his head. He tried to listen to reason, but these things were so evil that they would kill innocents without another thought.

You bastard druid, release them, let me get to them, let me kill them

He kept this thought going over and over in his head, until with a savage and feral growl, he spun away, Mooshie following him. He got onto the road and stormed towards the train station, his anger barely held in check.

Splib felt the fear rise up, he had never felt this feeling before, no Halfling had needed to feel it before, he was of course not accustomed to the dread, Splib's first reaction was to soil himself, after he'd got his head together he grabbed his lute and began to play, hoping that the magical lyrics would cease the fear.

With both Cougar and Raven off on the war, Snake Eaters were thin on the ground. Eldrad seemed to spend much time here, however there were times when he was nowhere to be found. The only other Snake Eater was Rosemary, who was but a pupil herself, and thus could not teach. Oh, and Leviathan was around a fair amount of the time, preferring the companionship of mortals to that of deities, whom he found were very full of themselves, something he couldn't abide. He was sat lazily playing with the Black Flame, flicking out small fireballs into the air and controlling them with a strand connected to his finger.

You bastard druid, release them, let me get to them, let me kill them

He kept this thought going over and over in his head, until with a savage and feral growl, he spun away, Mooshie following him. He got onto the road and stormed towards the train station, his anger barely held in check.


OOC: As Artimese gets better at the Class of Ranger, Beast people will be a species he can track as easily a hungry man can track a plate of food. Think of Beast peoples as a Favored Enemy type He'll be able to do many things much better with them, due to his Hatred.

IC: Tharivol caught up with him.

"I understand your hatred of them, I feel the same way about goblins, tust me, I understand. But before you go off on a one man war against them, there are many things you should know." Artimese said.

With that, they came around a thick grove of trees, and saw what appeared to be a massive worm of some sort, laying on the plains. Upon closer inspection, this worm appeared to look exactly as a train would. Even closer inspection would reveal this "Worm" to be the infamous Doomtrain."

"This" Valanthe said, " Is the Doomtrain, a Magickal creature of great proportions, capable of traveling most places in creation. Summoners try for Doomtrain, though few ever attain him. It is through this worm, that we will travel to Riptide. Fear not the train, for it is quite safe."

Tharivol stepped up to the ticket office, and came back with three tickets. One he gave to Valanthe, one he kept, and one he gave to Artimese.

" I understand your Cat is your friend, but for traveling purposes, you need to make him stay by your side at all times, or put him in a crate and have him travel in the shipping Car." Tharivol said.

"ALL ABOARD!" Came the shout.

"We'd better hurry and get on. Tharivol said.

Valanthe stepped on, and her Wolf followed. Tharivol's wolf followed as well, Tharivol waited just inside the doorway for Artimese and Mooshie.

Ichiro decided she might as well explore while she looked for someone who could teach her now that the Warhaven Pyro-Wizard had left. She wandered around, taking in everything she saw and heard. At the same time, she was also on the look-out for any one talented, like she was, with Fire.

These were the red-clad Drow mages, or Leviathan.

The Drow that could teach were easily recognized by the gold embroidery on the edges of their sleeves...gold that could shine and flash in the light, like fire.

OOC #1: Sorry 'bout this, but I thought I would give you guys heads up on why my post rate may decrease over the next week: I got a big history research paper due on Tuesday, so I, and some other nations that log-in via this computer, won't be around that much.
OOC #2: Kaymiril, I'll log that away for future reference. Its nice OOC info that I can use, but Ichiro doesn't know IC'ly, yet.

IC: Ichiro walked up to one of the Red and Gold clad Drow and awaited recognition before speaking.

The pyromancer looked at the child that had approached her.

"Yes?"

OOC:
Well, it differs for different classes of mages. And this gold embroidery is just for the ones that have been sent to the Tower to teach. Any Kaymirilian mage would know level and rank of the mage just by their clothes.

Loki approached a man wearing golden robes, "Umm... hello sir. Master Xos was teaching me but he told me to try out other teachers and see how I liked him. Though I was content with his teaching and would like to continue to be taught by him, I can not find him at present time."

The pyromancer looked at the child that had approached her.

"Yes?"

OOC:
Well, it differs for different classes of mages. And this gold embroidery is just for the ones that have been sent to the Tower to teach. Any Kaymirilian mage would know level and rank of the mage just by their clothes.

OOC: Understood. I know the color scheme OOC (kinda), but Ichiro never met a Kaymirilian mage before and has no idea of the color scheme you use. (For example, in Dragon Emperor, red is used for a Bard's cloak and brown is for Healer's cloaks).

IC: Ichiro said, "I was wondering if you could point me to anyone who could teach me some Fire stuff, ma'am. I was learning from one of the Warhaven Pyro-Wizards, but he had to leave a little bit after I met him."

Artemis looked at Mooshie, after a quick mental conversation, he put the figurine on the floor, and Mooshie was transported back to his own Plane.

"He was tired, and needed some time to heal he got some minor injuries in that fight."

He stepped on board the Doomtrain


OOC: Good good, that will be fun

OOC: Understood. I know the color scheme OOC (kinda), but Ichiro never met a Kaymirilian mage before and has no idea of the color scheme you use. (For example, in Dragon Emperor, red is used for a Bard's cloak and brown is for Healer's cloaks).

IC: Ichiro said, "I was wondering if you could point me to anyone who could teach me some Fire stuff, ma'am. I was learning from one of the Warhaven Pyro-Wizards, but he had to leave a little bit after I met him."
"I could." She held out a hand, and a dancing flame appeared in her palm.

"All red-clad Drow are pyromancers, at least here."

A massive Groan went through the Train as it pulled away.

The stops were:

Aquais,
Foresta,
Mille Mortis
Kaymiril
Kamigawa
Ephseus,
Riptide.

It was going to be a long ride.

The seats were comfortable though. Riders from Random places where there. Including, Shiva, Goddess of Ice, and Third of the Great summons. Her skin was pale blue, and her eyes, were Dark Blue. She wore Robes of White, and boots to match. her hair was pale blue, and her lips frosted over. The air seemed, Chilly.

Sitting accross from her, was Ifrit, the Fire Demon, second of the Great Summons. His skin seemed burned to a crisp. Two great blackend horns came from out his head and curled down his body. His muscles and claws were great, and sharp. His Eyes burned with Crimson Fire, and the lower half of his body was covered in Dense fur. Fangs protruded from his mouth and smoke curled from his nose. The Air around him seemed, Warm.

In the seat on the other side, watching them, with amused intrest, was, something. This thing obviously was very strong, and Built like a Warrior. A sword of some sort of metal lay by his side. His skin was as a Solid Black Shadow. Two little points of lightning served as eyes, and it had no hair. A mouth made of light was twisted into a grin. Every Element in Creation seemed present on his body, ever swarming, ever moving. This man creature seemed more deadly than the train itself. This Creature was The elemental Warrior, one of the most powerful Summons, and attained by only one person.

Tharivol looked on with intrest as well.

It was a known fact that Shiva and Ifrit hated each other, yet here they were, enjoying a train ride together. Could it be? were they actually, Fond of each other? was their hatred so great that it turned into love? who knew, certainly no one on board.

OOC: Slug, from this point forward, all monsters and encounters are under my control, unless Kay decides to attack us while we're stopped at her nation's station.

"I could." She held out a hand, and a dancing flame appeared in her palm.

"All red-clad Drow are pyromancers, at least here."

"Oh, could you?" Ichiro asked eagerly, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

She curtsied and said, "My name is Ichiro Suziki, ma'am. Thank's for letting me know about the color thing."

*Fingal started looking harder for elemental Mages, but he had no idea how to bring himself forward.*

Piekrom']"All we realy have are a few artifacts left over. For the past 100,000 years we have worked on technology and managed to combine tech with nature. Around 100,000 years ago almost all magik disapeared, but it has just reacently started to work its way back into our people. So we have nothing to know what our magik can do."

Eldrad sighed, knowing full well what this sort of thing could lead to in the end. SInce the Fall, he had known only too well,"You have no records from this time at all?"

All we have are a few artifacts and the little we have been able to decifer about them they seem to work on the spirit of the person. Some show little glimpses of the future and the past.

OOC:Am I allowed to join the Wizards council or should I wait a bit.

Doomtrain rolled away from the planet Hoeth, getting faster and faster in speed. He also carfully avoided ships out in space. The Ride would be long.

Doomtrain appeared to be in an odd tunnel of somesort, made entirely from Starlight, an odd effect appearently, from the magick used to carry him. Soo though, the Tunnel ended, and Doomtrain rolled down through the atmosphere, and onto Aquais. The sun was bright, the sun was hat, and the waters were cold. He slowly lumbered to a stop in the center of the city, and some people gotoff, and others got on. And again, they were off, bound for the world of Foresta, the world upon which Chocobo's sancuary could be found.

OOC: Slug, I need a response from Artimese, of some kind, anyhting, even a one-liner saying that he was riding the train and waiting to get to Riptide.

"Oh, could you?" Ichiro asked eagerly, "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

She curtsied and said, "My name is Ichiro Suziki, ma'am. Thank's for letting me know about the color thing."
"My name is Riaane."

The Pyromancer looked at Ichiro.

"Color scheme is fairly easy, at least for Kaymirilian mages. Red is fire; blue, water; brown, earth; white, air; silver, space; gold, time; and the Gray class are our healers. Occasionally some will have different colored robes, and they will belong to a sub-class, or a minor class.

Artemis Sat on Doomtrain

He wondered what to do

There wasn't that muxh to do. Eventually, the next stop, was Riptide.

Tharivol and Valanthe looked visiably alert, and excited.

The train trundled to a stop outside a city.

Tharivol and Valanthe stepped off, and their wolves got off with them.

"Come my young friend. there is naught but one or two important things to take care of before we leave." he said.

"My name is Riaane."

The Pyromancer looked at Ichiro.

"Color scheme is fairly easy, at least for Kaymirilian mages. Red is fire; blue, water; brown, earth; white, air; silver, space; gold, time; and the Gray class are our healers. Occasionally some will have different colored robes, and they will belong to a sub-class, or a minor class.

Ichiro nodded as she let the information sink in.

"I guess," she said, "I'll just have to get used to the fact that here, people in red cloaks aren't bards like back home."

Artemis followed them off the train, he wondered what they were to do on this world.

Artemis summoned Moosie, and he went running off into the woods.

Ichiro nodded as she let the information sink in.

"I guess," she said, "I'll just have to get used to the fact that here, people in red cloaks aren't bards like back home."
"I don't think entertainers have any set dress."

Piekrom']All we have are a few artifacts and the little we have been able to decifer about them they seem to work on the spirit of the person. Some show little glimpses of the future and the past.

OOC:Am I allowed to join the Wizards council or should I wait a bit.
OOC: Ask Warhaven, not me.

IC: Eldrad had to refrain from rubbing his temples... it was a habit he'd seen Cougar do many times when he was stressed, and he was starting to pick it up. But this was a tad annoying,"Without knowing anything at all about your magick, apart from what you just told me, it is difficult to know where to start."

Freke and Gere blocked Mooshie.

"Freke, Gere, take care of mooshie, that he does not get eaten by the Vizzerdrixes." Tharivol said.

Then the two followed mooshie wherever he might go.

Tharivol turned to Artimese.

"There are naught but two things to take care of in the city. My classroom is the Wildlands beyond. Sitting ina room is stifling, and not very condusive to what I teach. First, we must insure you are properly registered within the warhaven educational system." Tharivol said.

He indicated a nearby building.

"In there. The Vizzerdixes I mentioned earlier, they are a wild creature native to Riptide. You will see them. They are about our size, pink in color, with sharp claws and fangs. Their senses are keen, and their appitite for meat is great. Freke and Gere have raised five litters of pups in the wilderness out there, and even fought off three Vizzerdrixes once. Trust me, Mooshie is safe with them. Fortunatly, mooshie can fight as well, so that makes it easier. also, the slivers hunt down the Vizzerdrixes." Tharivol said.

Inside the building was musty. A single man sat at a single desk. Tharivol picked up a clipboard, and handed it to Artimese.

It asked the following:

"Name:

City and country of origins:

Medical and food allergies:

Animal companions:

Powers (Magickal, Psionic, Divine, physical, etc, etc) (Please include those of any animal companions listed above.):

Order of training: Keepers of the wild, sect of the Rangers."

Tharivol filled in the order of training section already.

"The only reason is, is because Hoeth is outside the boundries of any one country, thus there, this is not necessary. The only reason we ask, should be obvious." Valanthe said.

"After this, I need my weapons fixed, and armor patched. Valanthe needs her hides repaired, and we need one weeks supply of medicines. Was there anything you needed before we left?" Tharivol asked.

OOC: Piekrom, you may join, but only, ONLY, if you complete the Required tests, as all others must.
