It wasn't long since the clamoring of footsteps echoed through the hollow halls of the academy. Sylph knew what was going to happen. The new students were once again arriving at the school; students who are naive and proud of their skills. She had already witnessed, what? 2 or 3 waves of students arriving. It was nothing new, rather, it was something annoying. The young wizard wore her hood as she stood up and ended her reading of a heavy grimoire that she had attached to the belt of her waist. Sylph grabbed her stave as she exited the dusty section of the library. Sylph didn't like greeting new students, of course not, they were too bothersome and annoying for her taste. However, she remembered the debt that Malixis had given her; Malixis was the mage who took Sylph in and showed her around the academy. Well, she had stayed in this institution for 8 whole years... apparently, the academy didn't consider her yet ready to wear the mantle of mages. She didn't have any ill-will towards the academy's decision though, Sylph knew that she was far from ready. She had only learned fire, earth, water, and wind... but the other arcane arts was far from her grasp. She had much to learn, and she lavished the opportunity to hone her ability in this prestigious department.

"[i]Ventum Pedes[/i]." Sylph mumbled. Perhaps one of the reasons why she wasn't allowed to graduate yet was because of her inability to cast a spell without verbal incantation. It was true, most of the great mages could all cast their spells without any verbal chants, and that was what made them stand out. Sylph knew she had an upcoming class of Non-verbal casting, and she knew it was going to be hard. Suddenly, a small torrent of wind enveloped her feet... Sylph's speed increased as she dashed from corridor to corridor. Finally, she arrived at the great gates, and she saw a familiar sight; a sight she had seen through her 8 years in the academy. Although, Sylph didn't trust anyone, she was quite gentle with Zmerr, one of the keepers of the academy. His dishes were delightful, and his inventions were interesting.

"Ah. Pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Zmerr." Sylph bowed as she closed her eyes. Her voice was similar to a mumble but was still quite audible. "I see you've beat me to my task of ushering the students." the wizard lifted her head as she observed a dracon... a girl dracon if she would say. "A freshman, should I assume?" Sylph observed the female dracon as she looked at Zmerr with her red eyes.
