[color=Gold][b]Character Name:[/b][/color] Marius Sirvaki [color=Gold][b]Time of Day:[/b][/color] Early Evening [color=Gold][b]Location:[/b][/color] Head Master's Office [color=Gold][b]Interacting with:[/b][/color] Headmaster of the Guild of Alsijan [color=gold]"Thank you for agreeing to meet with me head master. I am sure you know my name. But I doubt from my acceptance paper that you know exactly [i]who[/i] I am. You see as you surely know, over a thousand years ago, The Pheonix King, A sun-elf saw through the machinations of the Moon Titan Kus-Maraketh and rose up to defeat him. The Pheonix King saved all the lands of this world and for a while, was considered the ruler of all. It is said that on his death bed, the King said that when the times were most dire, he would return to this world wearing a crown of fire. And thus bring us to this very day." "My point? Well, as you can see, I wear such a crown. I am the Phoenix King reborn. Born into a new dawn of a new age, behold Headmaster, for I am [b]Marius Sirvaki, the Phoenix Dawn[/b]! I have come back at a time of great need, to once again unite all the peoples of all lands to fight against the unquenchable tide of evil!" "The tide of evil. What do you mean what evil? It doesnt have a name or a face, that's what makes it so dangerous." "Fine, I'll get to my point. As the savior of the world, I am expected to receive boons and privileges that will aid me in my quest. As I have done to the many lords and ladies along the Ivory Coast and Satin Strands, I ask you Head Master what you can provide for me?" "Hahaha. An education? Good Headmaster, surly there is something more substantial you could offer. I am already the master of Abjuration and Evocation, Defend myself, and destroy the darkness. Surely other schools are just flat out unnecessary. So beg your pardon, I don't think there is anything even remotely useful that your teachers have that I will require. However, any artifacts you could spare. Or- Oh yes, how about your position. Having a school of mages under my command will surely give me the edge needed when the vilest of villains reers their ugly head. It would be a great start to my quest." "What do you mean no? But I am a hero of legend. You expect me to defend this world from calamity without an army of wizards?" "Oh- oh I see. This is another test to prove my worth and my claim. Very well. Headmaster, I challenge you for your position. Yes I'm being serious. Great, surly it is my destiny to lord over this school. Once I win, I'm sure you can rest easy knowing that this was all supposed to happen. It was destiny. Shall we. En Garde!"[/color] [hr] [center][i]Five Days Later[/i][/center] [color=Gold][b]Character Name:[/b][/color] Marius Sirvaki [color=Gold][b]Time of Day:[/b][/color] Early Morning [color=Gold][b]Location:[/b][/color] Dormitory [color=Gold][b]Interacting with:[/b][/color] [@Moyai][@OrkytheOrc][@TaliPaendrag] Marius was finally cleared to return to his dorm. He had been unable to awaken for three days following a 'series of lights and explosions' that took place one night near the Guild Master's tower. He had arrived at the Animancer's Wing with bruises, broken bones, and several burns on multiple points on his body. It was only because of the healing powers that Marius would be awake and moving around at all when he was. A finally day of bed rest from a very unperturbed Marius and he was cleared for release to return to his studies, though he was sure to receive a letter holding his punishments for 'unruly behavior.' He viewed the list again on his trip back to the hall. He had bandages on his chest, both arms, a black right eye, and another piece of cause on his left cheek but other than that, was walking with a slight limp back in his guild uniform. He viewed over his conditions of punishment. At dawn, Mondays and Thursdays, Kitchen Prep. Tuesdays and Fridays, Sweep and Rake Courtyard. Wednesdays, clean interior windows and sweep entrance ways of Meadowmist House. Saturdays, clean exterior windows. Sundays, Teacher Assistant. These punishments would last for two weeks starting tomorrow. Marius wasn't particularly mad with the extra chores. He stroked his chin. [color=gold]"Was this my destiny? Was I not meant to rule the guild? Or do I have to learn something and beat him again? Or do I have to learn it all?"[/color] He had a habit of talking out loud to himself, as it helped him put his thoughts together. He commonly had to wrestle with the path before him as he would always come to a conclusion which ended up always being wrong somehow. He was getting closer though. He still was in the school, and was now back on his feet with his new bit of opportunities. Did the Guild Master know? Did the Guild Master set these chores as a way of training him in his heroic endeavors and quests? Would he need to lean how to cook to save the world!? Getting to the entrance of Meadowmist house, he reached for the door only to discover that there were voice inside. Voices within his own dormitory! He had only been there a few hours before his challenge with the Headmaster and now- Villains! They must have tracked him down and were now waiting in ambush. Marius would not let this go unchallenged. He would turn their surprise upon them, he prepared his favored spell, Barrier, so fine tuned he could use it as a blow now, a force of protection launched at his foes and presently at the door! [center][h1]*BOOOOOM*[/h1][/center] The concussive blast opened the door with a loud crack, nearly taking it off it hinges, he stood in the doorway, his hair and the ends of his uniform twisting by the air behind him. His arm was stretched out in an imperious gesture with other arm behind him, ready to strike with another spell [color=gold]"Try to ambush me villain!"[/color] He shouted. But then he paused, the air dwindled, the scene of the three individuals had belied his first intuition. They looked not like assassins, but children, children his age. Other students. He seemed utterly shocked by this. [color=gold]"What are students doing in my dorm!?"[/color] He shouted, not even realizing for an instant that the building was supposed to be shared by others. He said it completely without exaggeration or sarcasm, it was a legitimate question and it made even less sense that the only ones who could answer the question were the students themselves. His eyes shot to the three, an animal eared Enuri, female, small. A human, female. Lastly an orc, male. They appeared to have been engaged in conversation they way they looked towards the smaller Enuri. His keen eyes took in as much of them as he could. His face showed nothing but puzzlement as he stepped in and closed the door behind him. Maybe they were part of some kind of servile program. Maybe the headmaster did give him aids so that he could better focus on his training. [color=gold]"Are you all my retainers?"[/color] He asked, moving towards one of the doors near a corner, keeping them all within view, eying each with suspicion.
