Gill gave an excited cheer as he rode atop his eagle turtle with tentacles along its shell's sides. It had massive wings and its body was big enough to carry at least two people as it flew. He decided to journey to the place where the students were suppose to meet in style and not just be driven there.

"This is way more awesome than going to the place in a car" he said with a grin and the eagle turtle gave a happy cry. This was a new summons that he had wanted to try. His style of magic relied on imagination and focus rather than ritual and just recreating some ancient spells. Weird Magic was more personal and about the magician who wielded the power. As an individualist Gilliam liked his type of magic and it gave him a very big sense of pride in his unique abilities.

He did also wonder what kind of things he would be learning at the academy beside honing his skills in his magical powers. He was also curious to see what the other students would be like and if they would friends or enemies. Gilliam definitely wasn't the type of person to antagonize others they didn't do anything wrong.

In a short while Gill reached the meeting spot and he had the large beast gracefully land on the ground and he dismounted. To some the appearance of an eagle turtle with long blue tentacles would be a very strange sight indeed. Gilliam hoped that he had made a big impression with others when they talk about newbies.
