Felix felt a pang of guild for what he was about to ask. He knew that if she accepted, she would be leaving behind kids who depended on her knowledge. The prospect of being the one to tear her away from that gave him a pit in his stomach. But he shook his head. The knowledge that his cause was of vital importance led his words. "I am indeed not here for your tutelage. I am here because of something much more important. My name is Felix, and I am- or I [i]was[/i] an Arch-Magi with the Catholic Arcanocracy." Felix stated. "I know what I am about to say will sound far fetched. So please just bear with me and make a final judgement after I have said my spiel." Felix implored. "Around a few months back, during a council summit, an Arch-Magi by the name of Thadeus suggested efforts be focused on an endeavor. This endeavor involved making sure the Arcanocracy obtain nine artifacts of devastating power named the Paragons. Thadeus had said it to be solely for the purpose of assuring the position and the safety of the Arcanocracy as a world power. Many were opposed to this motion including me, and most namely the papal-magi. After the motion was rejected... I had thought that would have been the end of the discussion. I knew better than most people that this pandora's box known as the Paragons should not be opened. So I breathed a sigh of relief when the papal-magi rejected the motion. Unfortunately three weeks ago, the papal-magi died, and a new papal-magi was voted in. The unfortunate part sadly was not only the previous papal-magi perishing, but that Thadeus's brother Cornelius was voted in as the new papal-magi. Needless to say a few weeks later at the next summit, the motion to search for the paragons was brought up once more, only this time the motion was not only accepted, but made top priority. That night I had a fever dream that could only be explained as a vision. In this dream I was shown the many possible endings of this world should anyone get their hands on the paragons besides a group formed by me. I awoke to find me sitting at my writing desk pen in hand, and parchment in front of me. Upon the parchment was a series of names and locations written in my handwriting." Felix procured the parchment and handed it to the summoner, and indicated her name was the 3rd name down on the list. "I have visited everyone else on the list, and most all of them have agreed to join. You're the last one I have approached. I know this is a lot to ask you to believe, but I'll come out and say it anyways. Will you join our team? Will you help save the world?" Felix asked.
