Element Air

“Day one, First class,”

---

The air within

Away from all the hustle and bustle of the first assembly, the droning noise of busy chattering and flashy eccentric elemental displays, two men resided in a quiet clearing of luscious green grass under a generously giving large full tree.

At the base of the tree the elder of the two sat with perfect posture and his legs crossed beneath him. His eyes were shut and he breathed with perfect discipline. His clothes that appeared some what tattered and aged remained sturdy and strong.
A few steps in front of him was his counter part.

The other lay sprawled out as far as he could, even his long dark brown hair spread out from his head like an open net with feathers braided into it. His pale green eyes stared blankly at the bright blue sky and the passing soft white clouds. His oddly tattooed face was filled with a serene happiness and excitement adding more youth to his already young appearance.

Nothing seemed out of place.
Yet it was.
Between them one was a teacher of Air ready to give their first ever class on the element. Despite their status and role neither of them were present at the welcoming display nor had they located themselves at the formal Air education grounds atop the tower.

It was not a matter of forgetting, or being new, or even that he frowned upon such indulgent theatrical displays, they were here because that's the way the teacher was.
He was a whimsical being, living on the winds. Often spontaneously choosing to act upon the interests of the moment. Had he any less skill and his personality would make him redundant from the role. But alas he held his role because of not only his abilities but the nurturing way he could pass them on along with cultural and moral guidance.

He was not so brash to leave his future students with no clues, besides there were also other teachers available, yet any already tightly attuned to the flow of wind or merely highly observant, would notice that the clouds that drifted over the academy travelled in an opposing direction to the trees surrounding this harmonious location. From atop the tower it only became more obvious as a stray path of defiant yet gentle wind flowed through the yard to their location, causing the folding grass and shrubs to create a narrow snake like path amongst normality.
It was subtle and clever. At least he thought so.

Hi @Zorogami, and welcome to the tavern :)
Just want to say sorry about the last post, nothing against you, I am just playing a rude careless waiter that really doesn't want to be doing his job right now.

His attitude is completely IC and doesn't reflect my opinions!

As Clay stands behind the bar ready to serve the wise man in front of him, his eyes catch a young woman sitting alone off to the side.
Yup... yup... sure. he says vacantly in empty reply as the mans words fell on deaf ears.
Clay fills up his glass with liquor once again and slides it across the table to the talking red head.
"On the house" he says briskly as he slides over the bar, whisky bottle still in hand, and after a short walk takes a seat opposite the dark haired woman he was eyeing off.
He gives no introduction or words, simply gets comfortable and grants her a daring grin as he swigs the whiskey from its bottle.

@Zorogami"And what can I get ya?"
Clay asks with a hint of agitation as he kicked open the kitchen door, carrying a plate of food in one hand and a full glass in the other. He gives the new guest a nod as he carries on past to put the order down on a table near the portal walker@POOHEAD189.
"Enjoy"
The tone and effort in his voice hid, not so well, the effort and force it took to produce those empty words.
Hurrying back to the bar Clay is quick to take down a glass and fill it with whisky, it is not until he has downed the whole thing does he acknowledge the man with fiery hair.

"yeah?"

Avarius Elthandeir

Avey storm chaser,

image

Age: 23
Element: Air
Personality:

An eccentric free thinker with a gentle heart.
To say Averius was an odd child would be an understatement, to assume he had out grown it would be gravely inaccurate. Just as genius can be found in the misfortunate and mad, the inner workings of Avey's mind was both a mysterious blessing and a curse.

At certain times he can seem to lack empathy, but those worrying occasions are rare.
His humour is often abstract and his thoughts commonly unfiltered and unrestrained.
Most the time he appears light hearted and aloof. Despite his oddities he is quite shy and quiet.

Avarius has taken a Vow of Non-violence wich he follows very seriously, often relying on Vallen when situations become rough.

History: Little is known of the young prodigies past. Questions are often quickly deflect but if one can bring him to ponder on his past for even a moment, his eyes fill with a mix of emotions, crippling him socially.
Equipment: Having adopted a minimalist lifestyle Avarius holds few possessions dear to him. He has the clothes on his back, a few spare rags, a bed roll he calls home and thats it.
Class Taught: Air~elemental/mental flow

Vallen

The Silent Monk,

Age: 28
Element: (no longer using elemental magic, it is unknown what power he once possessed)
Personality: Vallen keeps to himself and his work at the academy. He avoids conversation and confrontation. In class he is firm yet fair. 'Tough love' he is also very protective of his mentor and students.
History: Vallen grew up in a prominent conjuring family that held him to high expectations. His magic never lived up to their esteem.
What he lacked in elemental affinity he made up for in combative skill.
Years of rigid and strict training from self serving proud parents produced a troubled teen. After near expulsion from the academy he was taken on by Avarius as a permanent personal assistant and pupil.

He has since began bettering his ways by respecting his elemental affinity more and not using it for the advantages that it brings. In the past he miss-used and took it for granted, so now he is trying to atone.
He still recognises his gift and connection and will even meditate on it but he has learnt that it put his life out of the greater balance.
That is the lessons Avarius is teaching him.

Gender: Male
Age: 18,
Element: Lightning
Personality: Kain is highly energetic and competitive. He has a way to see the positive side of things and always moves forward. He is eager to learn and grow although not always the brightest student.
Since becoming attuned to his abilities he has grown in arrogance and confidence.
He is a loud daring personality, not shy nor worried of others opinions at all.
History: Kain grew up in a foster family, never knowing his own. But his new family was good to him, they looked after him. They were not rich but did ok.
When Kain showed signs of being attuned to an element his foster family could not stand in the way of his desire for adventure or his endless ambitions. They aided him as best they could for his journey.

Just a short post from me, at work but couldn't wait. ;p
Nice reference to the foot from earlier post. :)

Don't know if I captured it but he's currently just trying to absorb the situation and let it sink in.

Levi gave a grateful smiled as he took the 'old school medicine' with his good hand, as he became more aware his injuries were becoming more real. With a groan he took a little look around at the bare roof top and nodded towards Darius trying to express some form of thanks.
Eagerly he lifted the canteen to his lips and took a painful swig, lay down and then just rest a moment.

"Whats happening? Why is..."
His sentence trails off as he stares at the sky and realises it is pointless.
It didn't matter how or why, just that it was, and now he had to deal, they all had to deal with it.

"Thank-you," he whispers as he sits up. "I'd be dead now if it wasn't for you two, "
Levi tries to asses his injuries and lets out a gasp as he tries to move his leg.
"'Fraid your right, won't be moving for a while, you sure they can't get us up here? Hell, how long can we last up here?"

"Gettin your order now, sorry bout the delay."
Clay assures the patron as he starts heading back towards the bar.
As he passes @Overlord24 the upstrung, tightly wound kid he quickly shares some words in passing.
"Kid your stressing me out, just relax, I can get you something for those nerves if you need."

Just then the lights did their thing, blue flames now filling the place of cold dead wicks. Well it was one less thing for Clay to have to do but it still left him curious as to who had done it.

Beer mugs were becoming empty and people were still waiting on food, with a painful sigh and long strides he enters the kitchen leaving the door swinging behind him.
