[h3]Ajax Thera - Council Member[/h3] The large council member looked over at the waking mages briefly before returning his attention to Aiden. [b]"You will have a partner, yes,"[/b] Ajax answered. [b]"It is almost a necessity for your survival. There is a reason there are few Magus Hunters. Dark Guilds are typically handled by Rune Knights and standard Guilds.

That is where the Magus Hunters come in."[/b] Ajax looked down to Greg for a moment before looking at the ceiling and bringing a hand to his chin.

We can start earlier if you wish, but no later."[/b] Ajax looked over at Sable specifically for a moment before looking back at Master Jak and returning to his seat.

However I personally believe that two will be selected this time."[/b] The council member closed his eyes for a moment, as if he was recalling a memory. [b]"There are more mages that will be participating this time, so having only one promotion chokes it too much. To be honest I believe there might be even more than two, but that is just me thinking of what I would do if I was in charge."[/b] He opened his eyes now.
