[color=#f17105]"I've never seen a Training Student do so well. Consider yourself one of us, mate. I'll be looking out for you."[/color] The Ace of Clubs (a tall, well-built man with short back and sides) and his friends seem content, off to test the metal of new students elsewhere.

He turned a knowing eye over to Jarvan as he approached, a mirthful twinkle in his eye. [color=peru]"You're a big lad."[/color] commented the old man, suddenly grabbing his hand in a vice like grip and squeezing hard. You instinctively squeeze back with almost - but not quite - your full strength.[hr][b]Augustus: 32[/b] [b]Jarvan: 32[/b][hr] You lock eyes for a moment. Then Augustus bursts out into chortles of laughter. [color=peru]"I like you,"[/COLOR] he decided, slowly taking your bags and papers and sorting through them. [color=peru]"You know, these students come swanning in here expecting me to be as brittle as bone. Ha! I've got fight in me yet. I'll outlive the lot of you young folk put together, if I ever had my way."[/color] He examines your papers, muttering cheerfully about "oh a Gearshield, I ordered a sword from your grandfather when I was young..." Everything seems to be in order, and he makes no mention of illegal magical items. It takes him three times as long to finish processing you, but eventually he waves his hand over the back of yours and a symbol glows on your flesh: [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/BP78D5H.png[/img][/center] [color=peru]"Congratulations,"[/color] he says, [color=peru]"You are officially a student of the Spire. Now, if you genuinely do want to help me out... I could do with a sit down and a biscuit, if you'd be willing to do the heavy work for me. I'll make it worth your while."[/color] [center][h3][color=A625E7][b]You feel the tides of Fate change.[/b][/color][/h3] Optional Fate: Help the Old Man Process Students (and aquire him a biscuit) Reward: [i]Unknown...[/i][/center]
