"I'm Martin" the boy who had kicked the seagull said, "And this is Aime. She doesn't hear too well. So you probably shouldn't talk to her." he put a hand on the girl's shoulder and then bent down to whisper something in her ear, and she looks up to everyone and gives a wide friendly smile.

Crythos leads you through town, past a large inn, the only building in town that seems to be more than one floor high, titled the Sword and Sword Inn. On the other side of the street you see an old blacksmith. A little further down an old woman sitting in front of her rundown little shack looks up from her knitting to give you a warm smile. The town is just starting to wake up. You are led all the way through town, through huge iron fence surrounding the grounds around the tower, but it looks incredibly small next to the tower itself. Everything does. The tower grows larger and larger as you approach, until you are standing right next to it and it seems to go up and up into the sky forever. The slight glow of the tower baths your face in warmth like the sun on a cold day, and all of you can feel the constant hum of magic permeating this place.

Crythos turns to face you all "Here we are. I will be testing you all before you will be permitted to access the tower." he reaches down and picks up a small grey set of ropes, "Once you pass the test, and don't worry it is not hard so you all should pass, you will be given these. They are your apprentice robes, they identify your rank and position within the college and they are also enchanted to allow you access to the main floors of the tower. I'll start with you Apollo. The rest of you may go claim a bed," he motioned to a pair of identical buildings to the edge of the Tower grounds, "Boys are on the right, girls are on the left. Get settled in, and I will send for you when it is your turn."
