Auron was frustrated and disappointed. [i]I refuse to be treated like this again. No way I'm giving away my new freedom![/i] -"Laszlo you are speaking to me as if I’m just property, a pet. Am I only that to you?" Auron could feel the rage boil within him. "Find someone else to be your lapdog, Laszlo! I am not my father, I only bear the curse that is my family name!" Before Laszlo could say anything else Auron turned around and walked out, followed by the mixed looks of everyone present int he room. -"Will he be a problem?" -"Not necessarily, but this is sure more interesting than any other outcome." -"Wait up, Auron! Wait!" Auron could hear Mildred shouting behind him. When he caught up he grabbed Auron's shoulder and turned him around. -"What do you want!?" Auron asked aggressively. -"You could've at least turned him down politely!" Mildred panted out flustered. -"Not when he speaks to me like that." -"I think you're not seeing the full picture here." -"I won't lower myself to someone else's schemes!" -"There are many strong wizards here at Lauzurus and a lot of enemies to make. Laszlo is not one you want to be on the wrong side of!" -"I'm not afraid." -"Don't you see? By declining him you basically just said 'I'm going to be a really bad guy and walk in my father's footsteps.'" Auron was just about to open his mouth and argue but stopped right in the middle of his breath. [i]Perhaps I just did...[/i] "It's not too late to go back inside and change your mind Auron, because you didn't mean to say that right?" -"We're done talking here Mildred." Before Mildred had any more time to argue, Auron turned around and ran back to camp. [hr] Julius was spent and tired when he walked through campus. It had been an exhausting day for both body and mind. He had politely declined the invitation to help out tomorrow as well even though it had been fun today. There were other things that had to be done while it is still weekend. When Julius got back the other boys were already there, huddled around the campfire. -"Welcome back Julius, you look tired." James greet him with a big smile. -"I am, but at least I've made sure that our house is going to be swell!" -"You didn't have to. You should get some rest with that wound, if you overwork yourself you'll end up like Desmond." James looked at Julius with concern. -"Bah! This is nothing! Back in Northwreck this is considered light work." -"It's great you are getting your house rebuilt and all, but I'm going to miss coming out here hanging out with you guys." Ted looks into the fire reminiscing. -"Nothing is stopping you from visiting us back at our cottage. We love to have you around, right guys?" James ask as he looks up at his other roommates. -"Of course! You're a good friend, Ted." Julius says with a wide smile as he lays down. -"Sure, why not." Auron says absently. The past events of the day had left him in a glum mood. -"Really? Thanks guys I... That makes me really happy!" Ted hugs an unsuspecting James, catching him off guard. -"Heh, don't mention it. We live in eighty one blue, come by any time." -"Okay! Well, it's getting late. I'll come by your new house tomorrow then!" Ted ran off with a joyful glee, leaving the three boys to get some sleep. [hr] Sunday, 09:24 Location: Somewhere in the shallow woods -"Get up Auron, it's time to go!" Auron could feel James kicking his butt. -"Murrrrr, where?" Auron asks drowsy as he sits up, rubbing his eyes. -"To the city of course, you told me you wanted to tag along." -"Oh, right. Give me a moment." Auron stood up quickly and brushed off his clothes before heading to the brook where he washed his face. "I'm finished, where are we going?" He asks when he get back. -"To the school entrance, there should be a carriage waiting for us." -"Alright, let's go then." Auron and James walked quickly through a still sleeping campus. The few students that could be seen were also on their way to the school entrance. When they got there they saw the many carriages lined up on the school's front lawn. James picked one of the equipages in the middle, an open wagon with a spotted white horse. -"Where are we going children?" The coachman asked joyfully. -"To Frontier city and back." James state as he climbs on board. -"Well that would be thirty copper there and thirty copper back, with student discount of course." Without any complaining the two boys exchanged a silver each, getting forty coppers back each. "Thank you very much, off we go!" The coachman gave the reins a good whip and the wagon jerked after as the horse began to move. The carriage rode through the tranquil forest along the bumpy small paths before they finally reached the iconic Swedian, green rolling hills and big wide fields. Even though autumn was on its way the flowers bloomed vividly, creating blue waving fields like the ocean or bright pastures yellow like the sun. The trip had been silent thus far, in an almost awkward way. James were the one to finally break the silence. -"So how was it growing up?" -"Excuse me?" Auron asked a bit resentful. -"You know, with your father, probably the most despised person in the country." Auron didn't know if he should answer him or not. Sure, they were roommates. But Auron couldn't really consider him much of a friend after the way James treated him. Perhaps this was his way to get to know Auron better? [hr] The sun shone brightly on top of the heaven. Julius was walking down campus slowly with his sword bouncing lightly on his shoulder while thinking deeply. [i]So where can I found someone willing to practice fighting with me? There are no classes today, not that I'm in a mood to get my ass kicked by him again. I don't know anyone else that practices weapons in my classes. I guess I remember some faces from weapons class but where do I find them?[/i] As Julius keep walking he spots a familiar face leaning against one of the many cottages around. -"Hey, Marcus! Care to help me out?" Julius shouts happily as he runs up to the silver haired boy. -"Hey there Julius, what's up pal?" -"You know your way around here right? Do you know anyone that might want to help me practice with weapons?" -"It's true I know a lot of people, let me think. Hmm..." The junior rubbed his chin as he thought hard. "You could try Paula I guess, if you don't mind your women hot headed." -"Where can I find her?" Julius ask with new gained spirit. -"Your best bet would be her cottage, forty nine red. Oh, and tell her Victor sent you, and that he finds the birthmark on her butt cute." -"Why would I-" -"Don't worry about it, just do it. Off you go now, shoo shoo!" Marcus urged Julius as he pushed him in the right direction. It took a bit of asking and looking around but eventually Julius found Paula's cottage somewhere in the center of campus. Nervously Julius stepped up on her porch and knocked on the door. Opening the door was a tanned older girl with dark hair tied in a pony tail on the left side of her head. She had painted her lips blue and wore blue shorts and a thick white shirt strapped to her with small belts tied around her waist and arms. -"Are you Paula?" Julius asked with confidence. -"Yes, who's asking?" -"I'm Julius, I'm looking for someone to help me practice with weapons. Uhm, Victor sent me." -"Did he now?" She asks skeptically. -"Ye, he asked me to tell you he finds the birthmark on your... butt... cute..." Julius had the urge to just run away but he forced himself to stay. The girl in front of him turned visibly red as he stared at Julius who could feel the sweat running down his neck. -"Ehm... Mhm, give me a moment." Paula slammed the door shut in front of Julius. While Julius waited he was sure he could hear intensive squeeing and giggling inside the cottage. When Paula opened the door again she was carrying a large, two handed mace of some sort. the hammer was made out of wood and the head stretched down along the top of the shaft with rough metal and wooden spikes, though it looked like they were meant to maul rather than pierce. -"So you'll help me?" Julius asked with a hopeful tone. -"I will, on one condition." She demonstratively hold up her finger. -"Name it!" [i]How bad could it be? Never mind, it's Lauzurus we're talking about...[/i] -"You'd owe me a favour." -"What kind of favour are we talking about here?" Julius said now worried. -"Oh, you know, a favour. When I need it I'll let you know." She said teasingly." [i]Oh boy, that could mean all sorts of trouble down the line... But maybe it ain't so bad?[/i] [hr] Stretching his arms and back Bob step out of the coach. It had been a long and bumpy trip, but manageable thanks to the beautiful scenery. Putting down his bags on the ground Bob put his arms on his hips and look around with a big smile. -"What a beautiful place! The green roofs of the forest, the serene air that fills this place, just lovely." Bob says to himself as he breathes in the warm late summer air. [i]Can't say the same thing about the school building though. But with a little colour the thing could look less boring![/i] -"You are Bob Rosethorn I assume?" An old man in a worn and patched orange robe approach the chubby boy. -"That's me!" He responds with a gleeful voice. -"Very good. Welcome to Lauzurs, here is your house key and a pamphlet with useful information. Class begins at eight tomorrow morning, don't be late. If there are any further questions you'll find me at my office tomorrow. Good luck!" And with that the old man walks away in the direction of the school. "Oh, and campus is that way." He stops and point in the direction of the living quarters before he continued. [i]Guess introductions aren't a big thing around here. Looks like I live in cottage eighty one according to this note on the key. Well, I guess I'm in no hurry to get there if there is anything else that catches my attention.[/i] [hr] [b][u]Auron[/u][/b] (Open Choice) *Popularity decreased.* *Money were spent.* [hider=Character Sheet]Name: Auron Zecane Age: 13 Gender: Man Race: Swedian Strong: 4 Agile: 1 Precise: 2 Discreet: 0 Affined: 8 Psychic: 5 Clever: 3 Vigilant: 3 Convincing: 2 Fate: 1 Alignment: +5 Popularity: +0 Well being: -40 Skills: Inner magic (?), Geography (lvl.2) Spectrum: The Glooming (3/4) Elements: Corruption, Demonology, Dark Inventory: Ink and quill, Blue Key, Pamphlet.
