Sasa had been travelling for 6 months from Qarasak, her hometown and a region in the far south west. She had travelled on her roan horse, Kohana and both she and her horse were exhausted. She rode up and could see a bridge leading to one of the most amazing buildings she had seen on her long journey. She had seen many varying buildings on her journey, all of them were different to what she had seen in her homeland, but this truly was a marvel to behold.
[color=plum]"Wow! Look at it, Kohana,"[/color] she said as she patted the side of her horse's head,
[color=plum]"We made it,"[/color] she sighed, looking absolutely exhausted. She turned to the Magister responsible for bringing her and guiding her through the lands and admitted,
[color=plum]"Thank you, Carazan. We would never have made it without you."[/color] Sasa reached into one of her saddlebags and grabbed a leather flask and had a quick sip of water, offering it to her travelling companion.
[color=khaki]"No thanks, young Sasa. We'd better get you in to the campus. They've been expecting us for a long time now,"[/color] Carazan answered as she slowly made her way in front of Sasa to guide the young girl through the Magisterium. Sasa began to follow her over the bridge to enter the Magisterium campus. They slowly made their way through the campus and over to the stables. The stables were a simple straw-thatched building with room for dozens of horses and a wide open field, encircled with a low wooden barrier.
[color=khaki]"Your horse can rest here for a while, Sasa, but you'll need to ask permission for him to stay,"[/color] Carazan said to the girl as she dismounted her fine black horse, Freya. Somewhat disheartened, Sasa dismounted Kohana and hugged his head as a way of saying goodbye. After all, they had just spent 6 months together, every day and night.
[color=plum]"You stay here and rest, Kohana. I'll be back to see you later. Please behave for mama,"[/color] she said as she dragged herself away from the stables. Carazan had led Freya into the stables and left her to roam freely in the field.
[color=khaki]"Look after Kohana for me, Freya. He's tired and most likely nervous to be somewhere he's not used to,"[/color] she called to her horse. The pair of young women made their way back through campus, reminiscing about there long journey through the lands. They arrived at the dorms and Carazan said,
[color=khaki]"Sasa, see those three boys just up ahead in front of the big wooden doors, well those are the dorms. That's where you'll be sleeping and probably studying too. You could go over and talk to those boys if you want, I believe that they're new as well. Just go through the door and pick a room. Trust me, you'll love your room. I've got to report to my master so I'll see you around."[/color] she hugged the young girl and waved as she left, feeling that she had a friend in the campus that she could always talk to. Sasa nervously approached the three boys, saying,
[color=plum]"Hello, I'm Sasa. These are the dorms right?"[/color]
