[center][b]Village of Remnis - 5 Years Ago[/b][/center]

[b]”Alright Danny, now say ah.”[/b] The doctor said sternly, checking the internal structure of the boy’s pharynx. The middle-aged man had to narrow his eyes, even with the assistance of glasses it was still quite the task to focus. Once the human inspection was complete, the doctor stood up from his school and rotated towards his medical cabinet. [b]”So, Mr. Finks. Just to clarify… You have supposedly been hearing voices? Did these voices sound somewhat similar to the residents of this estate?”[/b] He questioned as he glanced back at the boy, who was merely sitting there silently, his arms tightened around his legs. The 12-year-old raised his head and opened his mouth as he attempted to form the proper response in his mind. “I can sometimes hear the voices of Billy. Or the lord. But they are drowned out by something scary. It makes their voices choppy and hard to hear.” The childish sit-rep was hard to go off of, the man raised an eyebrow and nodded in agreement.

[b]”Uh-huh… Something scary.”[/b] Even though he was a doctor, the man took on a slightly sarcastic persona, a rational piece of mind to deal with those who are unable to think clearly. He rubbed his chin, furrowing his brows to give off the impression of deep thought. [b]”Well, Danny, if you had gone to the other doctors in town, they probably would have diagnosed you with insanity. But, unlike those underpaid baffoons, I am a man of insight. Let’s just say, I am very intrigued.” He walked over to a desk and began rummaging through the drawers, filled to the brim with labeled books and organized folders. As the man continued with his searching, Danny’s eyes wandered around the room, taking in his surroundings. For a room within a noble’s abode, it was considerably small and compact. Since the doctor served the lord exclusively, he didn’t have too many patients. To accomadate for the occasional sick individual, there was a white bed in the corner of the room. Overall, the room was empty and grey, a non-motivating work environment. 

[b]”Ah, here it is.”[/b] The man’s voice caught Danny’s attention, he gazed at the doctor as he eased a book out of the drawer. [b]”As you know, there aren’t many Magestravi in this village. There are those who learn about their capabilities along the line, and then there are those who are born with natural talent. My dear boy, I believe you are the latter. This book right here should help you hone your abilities.”[/b] Finks managed to read the title and realized it was a book based around insorcery. [b]Those ‘voices’ you here are actually the thoughts of those around you. Yet it seems your on and off switch isn’t exactly working, so you will need to work on that. I think you can squeeze enough time in to practice, since the lord has morals and looks down on working children 24/7.”[/b] The doctor smiled and patted Finks on the back, [b]But alas, it is almost dinner time. Maybe skim through that book once those gluttons have stuffed themselves enough.”[/b]

The bitter taste of the beverage kept Finks awake, though he found himself in a partial daze. It wasn’t until he noticed a figure leaving his general vision did he fully regain his senses. [b]”Pardon me...”[/b] The voice belonging to Aoife said as she walked off, making her way back towards the dorm. Danny stood there idly, contemplating his next choice of action, [i]”Only building in that direction is the Hall of Healers.”[/i] Though the young man had no intention to venture further into the analysis, as his stomach growls for more food became a priority. “What the- I just ate ten minutes ago.” He muttered to himself, receiving yet another deep rumble in response. Yielding to his stomach’s desires, he debated on his options. [i]”I don’t have enough time to make myself something to eat. Line shouldn’t be too long, since students will probably give into the time constraints and bail from breakfast.”[/i] Finks thought to himself as he had already made up his mind. With a stoic expression and posture, he walked through the courtyards, passing students who were attempting to get in last-minute conversations. The opening ceremony was creeping upon him, only adding fuel to the fire of the rush.

 [i]"I’ll just get a bagel. Keep it simple, and quick.”[/i] The image of a bland bagel took form in his head as he finally reached the dining hall. The aroma of the food took Danny by the nostrils and guided him to the back of the line. [i]”Now that I think about it… I might as well get a bagel with some addons. Maybe some butter and bacon. That sounds enticing.”[/i] Without his noticing, a fiendish grin formed on his face. Though he was quick to replace it with his usual expression, making sure nobody saw him in such a state. He looked up at the student before him, a red-haired senior who was almost half a foot taller than Finks. The line began to pick up the pace as students gave in to the small time frame, [i]”Good. Be gone. Oh, I might as well get another cup of coffee as well.”[/i] He thought to himself as he noticed the lack of weight within the cup. Eve silently followed him, hovering to his side.
