[INDENT]You are a young journeyman wizard, warrior, or anything in between, starting their apprenticeship in one of the many heroic guilds of the land Freiburgs called the Black Bulls. The Grandmeister, Tau Talvane, has been advertising high and low in hope of attracting experienced individuals and avid learners to the town of Singspiel, where he has made his his headquarter. A new life is about to begin for you - one adventure, magic, and glory. It will emphasize personal growth and camaraderie in the face of danger and evil. Do you have what it takes to become a full fledged hero - and a full fledged person?[/INDENT]
[hr][hr][h3][i][color=8493ca]The Story Thus Far[/color][/i][/h3]
[INDENT][HIDER=Prologue]Meister Tau Telvane - I mean, Grandmaester Tau Telvane (the title would take a moment to get hold, he felt) - walked through the empty halls of the building he had just bought. It was relatively small, but spacious. In his hand he carried the charters from the city of Singspiel and the charter from the Hero Association, granting him the right to start a Guild in this beautiful seaside town. The man was rather old, but he didn't show it. It was only his features that could not resist the passage of time. His posture, on the other hand, remained upright as he walked against the current. His eyes remained bright with a mischievous energy. His hands, crooked slightly by what appeared to be arthritis nevertheless moved nimbly as he drummed on his sides, spelling out an old song he liked. 
 
[color=6ecff6]"So... why did you do it? I never took you for someone who was particularly good with kids."[/color] a voice echoed down the hall. A lady in the doorframe, a sly smile on her face. 
 
Tau smiled back right at her.
 
[color=82ca9d]"Well, you know Selena, there comes a time in the life of a man where he feels he has to impart what he knows. I feel I now have enough with hair for the task."[/color] he said, pulling at thinning hair on his head. 
 
[color=6ecff6]"You have been gone for five years. Most of us thought you were dead. Where were you?"[/color] She asked, as she walked in, her eyes wandering around the room, her hand swatting away the rising dust.
 
[color=82ca9d]"I did what we heroes do - I wandered. We heroes don't really have a place in this world. So we wander. But I'm getting old, Selena - rheumatism, arthritis - can you believe I now get up in the morning and my whole body aches? With a good walking stick I could walk across Freiburgs in a few days. Now I walk across town and I regret it by breakfast!"[/color] He shook his head disapprovingly. [color=82ca9d]"I should have studied healing magic. I wouldn't have to suffer through old age!"[/color] he said, in good cheer.
 
[color=6ecff6]"Well, I know a witch or two that could help you with that - can't say it will be cheap, though."[/color]
 
[color=82ca9d]"Well, I better turn this guild into a proper racketeering scheme, then! Those bills won't pay themselves! Truly Boudin of the Golden Gear knew what he was doing!"[/color]
 
They both laughed. Tau Talvane's tone became more serious.
 
[color=82ca9d]"I will need your help, Selena. I cannot do this alone. I have other friends who will be joining us, but I will need you for this."[/color] He said, making direct eye contact with her.
 
[color=6ecff6]"Of course. I am always happy to help."[/color] She said, warmly. She turned away, looking at the empty rooms. "What are you going to call it?"
 
[color=82ca9d]"The Black Bulls. We come from all the directions, brought here by the winds of fortune. We might as well acknowledge our roots."[/color]
 
[color=6ecff6]"The Black Bulls? I love it. How very much like you."[/color]

[color=82ca9d]"Well, it never pretended to be able to top Flame Fire, but..."[/color]

They both laughed. Mostly at how Flame Fire was such a dumb name.[/HIDER][/INDENT]
