The individual still hidden by the darkness was about to approach Mithos when a hand stopped him. Another individual a bit taller had used his hand in a gesture in front of his body to stop him from getting any further. The man then peered at the two from the dark depths they were veiled in. [b]"It's okay, Luther. Even though this person came unannounced I could use his duress situation to my advantage."[/b] He paused as he snapped his fingers where an individual brought a symbolic figurine that shined forward and put it in his hand. [b]"How about a proposition for you?"[/b] He took a brief pause as he took one step closer to Mithos, but keeping his distance so he could not see his face. [b]"I will give you this Rune of Power to restore your pillar that was taken from another dimension in exchange for The Key. The girl comes with me and all your problems vanish like they never happened. Are we at an agreement?[/b]

[b]"Wait a minute!"[/b] Ranathia interrupted when she realized he just said Rune of Power. She didn't know whether it was a trick or not. The fact that this person kept himself hidden meant he was likely to deceive people and didn't want to the person he deceived to see his face. [b]"Are you saying that if I go with you that all Mithos problems will go away? Do you really have that kind of power? And the Rune of Power was destroyed. I saw it with my own two eyes."[/b] She reminded him as she stepped forward keeping her hand firm and stead on her sword just in case he might try to attack them while they were distracted.

Sentius looked at what the teacher was putting down though he seemed to show no actual interest in what he was writing. He thought to himself as he had to force himself to listen to all that rubbish. [i]This is amateur criteria. It has nothing to do with me and someone of my caliber doesn't need to pay attention to such feeble knowledge.[/i]

[b]"What do those symbols mean?"[/b] Meira questioned as she had no idea what he was talking about. This kind of magic she was not at all informed about and when she took a look over at Sentius his eyes showed a sign of disinterest. While she pulled her attention back onto the teacher she thought to herself quietly. [i]Of course he doesn't care. Why would someone of his level care about magic that is far inferior to his own? But why does he insist on forcing himself to pay attention like that? It's a bit disturbing if you ask me.[/i]
