[b]Alec Bredain, Sindar Bredain, Eléane Bredain[/b] [i]Province 58, Al'Gruin[/i] There has been a lot of tension within the encampment of Al’Gruin. Ever since the scouts had returned, rumors spread like wildfire. The Holy Lands wanted to mount an assault against New Engelica. Not a single Magi enjoyed the thought of returning to the ways of Old Engelica. Where mages and witches were feared and loathed, simply because they were born different. They knew that their leaders were preparing to retaliate. The only question was, how hard they would hit back. After 3 days of convening, the War-magi finally opened the gate of Al’Gruin once more. Those men and women, wielding the powers entrusted by the Old Gods themselves, looked ready for battle. Almost all of them. Wielding their staves and tomes and orbs. The orders quickly spread through the camp. That they were to march for war and ruin once more. Horns blew loud, signaling the troops that they were to start their march. Books and relics were stored in crates and loaded onto carts. Eléane gathered about 4 War-magi, 60 magi and 100 light infantry. They were to move faster than even the Vanguard. No surprise then that Eléane chose elves for the job. The mission was simple, locate and destroy the siege weapons through guerilla tactics. And if the gods grant them an opportunity to kill a War-magi with barely any risk, do it. Once she was confident that she had harassed the Holy Land’s army enough, she would rejoin her father and Sindar at an assembly point. From which they would make a fast and devastating sweep through the mainland. While most troops would march east, towards the enemy, some went north. Towards Orngat. A war-magi and his retinue of 20 magi. They were to negotiate a non-attack-pact. A promise neither faction would attack the other. The pact itself rested completely on mutual trust. For how long it was to last, was up to Orngat. Though Alec would have liked to get a minimum of 2 years. If the NAP would last long enough, there might be a desired Alliance coming after it. [hr] [b]Some students[/b] [i]Province 58, Al'Gruin[/i] Linda was looking pretty skeptic at her twin brother. It was Friday, the traditional “invention” day within Al’Gruin. In honor of previous master magi who all discovered great new theories on Fridays, Friday became a day the students were free to do what they liked. Most tried to get deeper knowledge in elemental magic, though not Linda and Silvester. They had both looked long to the sky and the caged birds, and wondered what it was like to fly. So they developed the Eleviticus. Nothing more than sticks holding together cloth strapped on Silvester, who was now standing on top of one of the towers of Al’Gruin. “Are you sure this will work?” Linda asked her twin. “Nope. But that’s the fun part. Now, are you ready?” he asked enthusiastically. Linda sighed, and grabbed her tome to start the incantation. Silvester jumped out of the window. For a split second he was afraid that he would fall to his death, but then the Eleviticus got its lift from the upwards stream of wind thanks to Linda. “Look at me! Look at me I’m fly- blrrr paah. Sorry. Swallowed a fly.” Silvester shouted enthusiastically to his twin. Who kept the incantation going. Though then Silvester wanted to try how far away from the tower he could go. Though Linda started to lose grip on the winds. Soon Silvester lost all his lift, and came tumbling down, into the nearby lake. Where luckily a bunch of students quickly got him out.
