Act two of the original three is done. It is about 100 pages and 23k words. I'll be merging the first two acts into one and the book will end up being about twice as long as originally projected.

Act 1 of 3 is done. It’s about 100 pages and 23k words and has a prelude, 8 chapters, and an interlude. I’m looking at 100k words as an approximate goal.

Thrawn: "I have read about the nightswan. Have you?"
Nightswan: "You refer to the fact that it sings only as night is falling?"
Thrawn: "Yes. You do not expect your stand to succeed, do you?"
Nightswan: "I know that it won't succeed."
Thrawn: "That does not necessarily mean the end. I can give orders for you to be taken unharmed."
Nightswan: "They will be ignored. Half the troops here are Batonn Defense and Restos is determined to get rid of me."
Thrawn: "Then come with me now!"
Nightswan: "A man must do what he must, Admiral Thrawn. Even if his stand is against the fall of eternal night."

The arena was rather large, there wasn't a roof, the sun was high in the sky - it was noon. The temperature was low enough to keep snow, Melvus knew why. He happened to be standing on one end of said arena, on the other was a... another wizard. Many called him the Beast of Goetia, one of the rival factions in Drisbane.
"Fabricant of Goetia versus Melvus of Aesil!" The announcer had a magically amplified voice so all of the spectators could hear him. The factions were battling over territory in Drisbane. A simple stepping stone to the crown. "Let the battle begin!"
Without hesitation, the opposition grew and morphed until he was fifteen feet tall. "Ah, frost giant form..." Melvus said under his breath. He had studied his opponent and was sure that his opponent had studied him as well.
Goetia was known as the most evil faction. The vast majority of their members were, in fact, evil. The Beast of Goetia charged Melvus. Here he comes... Melvus kept his eyes on Fabricant.
"Would you look at that!" The announcer was suddenly excited. Melvus soon understood why, his opponent had changed again, at the last second. He now took the form of Frost Drake. He exhaled frost and slashed with his claws. Melvus had been reading recently and had found an interesting spell, it was called Shadow. The caster could no longer be touched or seen, but he couldn't touch anyone else either and could only keep it up for ten seconds, about.
As Melvus was going to be hit with his opponent's attack, he could no longer be seen. He quickly made his way behind his enemy and around him appeared tens of swords, about forty, they spun and revolved. "It would appear that Melvus has a new spell up his sleeve! How did he do that!?" The announced was caught off guard, the crowd cheered.
Melvus stepped forward and his swords began slicing the air around him, horizontally. "Fabricant has changed again! Now he is in water form!" The swords sliced through the water that was now the enemy wizard's body and did not damage. Melvus unsummoned the swords, to conserve energy. He unsheathed his own sword.
He extended his other hand and from it shot an appendage which gave off a warm glow. This was as Fabricant changed back to his original form, he was an elf. A corrupted one, at that. The glowing hand took hold of him at the waist, wrapping its figures around his body. It lifted him and smashed him into the wall. Melvus moved the hand to see his opponent. He wasn't there.
"I didn't want to say anything! But it seems that Fabricant has changed again! No wonder they call him that!" The announcer's voice came and Melvus realized something. He cast Ethereal Wings and took to the air, looking for the other wizard... The wind blew and Melvus woke up.
The sound of music filled the wizard's ears. His head was resting on the wooden table in front of him. "Where..?" He said under his breath. The his nose caught a whiff of alcohol, food, smoke. His plate, empty of food, was still warm in front of him. I mustove been out for a few seconds... That's what you get when you don't sleep... There's Sana, she was the talker in the shop...
Melvus got up from the table and made his way to the table near the window. There were three occupants, a rather large man, maybe it was the Hugh fellow she'd spoken of earlier. There was a cloaked man, he looked like the spellcasting type and smelled like a fire, though that could've been the inn. This, there was Sana. "I neglected to introduce myself earlier... My name is Melvus Garth. I'm a wizard by trade." He took a seat at the table intending on discussing the job.

I'm interested in it. Would it be AU?
@Melkor Very nice, I enjoy the little details you put in, like the smells. It adds a lot for a good read, keep up the good work.
Thanks

It turned out that Melvus wasn't too late, he did draw quite a bit of attention though. After him, what appeared to be a goblin barged in shouting about some Lady-Sister Eggness. One of the other adventures promptly cursed then apologized greeting the little fellow. The wizard stepped aside for this. After realizing that the creature wasn't a danger, Anges, the nun, stepped forward and shook its hand. Melvus took note that she hadn't shaken his.
Tear of Eyewing. Procuring that will be a challenge. Melvus has seen one before, it was stuffed for decoration. They also needed to find a pegasus, a hellhound, a gnoll, and what seemed to be the most exciting item on the list, a mist dragon. These were all rather rare... and rather dangerous. The mist dragon, alone, could easily drown them if they're not careful.
Melvus took his items from the counter, the vial, cork and the likes. He made his way out of the door, the sunlight once again causing him to cover his eyes. Sana, the woman who seems to be taking charge suggested that they eat before departing. Melvus also though this was a good idea, he hadn't eaten since the day before.
Pushing the door to the inn open, he was greeted with the smell of ale, wine and other alcoholic beverages. There was also the smell of freshly cooked food, it made his stomach growl. He bought some food at the counter, took his seat at a table in the middle of the inn and proceeded to eat his breakfast.
While he ate, he took notice of a rather unpleasant smell. I bathed earlier... Oh... My cloak still reeks of blood... I'll have to wash it before we leave. He realized that, that must've been the reason he'd drawn so much attention.

@Afina Okay. Sounds like a plan.
Is there anyone whose not in the shop at this point?
