Rise of the Alchemists

Seth kept an eye out the back of the van, watching to see if anyone was going to give chase to them. So far, it seemed they were in the clear; likely most of the guards were still knocked out or just barely recovering from whatever it was the injured woman had done to them. He glanced back at Augie when the younger man mentioned getting some things at the service station. "Do we have any money?" he asked before rooting through the packs again. He pulled a wallet out of one and checked through it. Seeing a fair amount of money inside he tossed it forward. "Yes," he said, answering his question. "And you should probably put something more appropriate on before getting out," he added. "I assume there are some clothes in the bags over there." He gestured toward the gym bags while he continued rooting through the day packs. "Oh, and there's some snacks and power bars here," he said while tearing open one of the latter and eating.

Awesome. I look forward to seeing the next challenge Milo has to face.

My character has nothing to do right now. I have been given no information on the next part of the obstacle course and until I know what I'm now up against, I can't realistically post anything that would be the slightest bit meaningful.

Present. I've been waiting for something to move Milo forward for a while now, but I don't like sounding pushy.

The Ordinary Mythical Academy

Not long after asking his question, Zalek got something of an answer. The unconscious man came around and started shouting, promising death to all of them and proclaiming his hatred for them. That alone was enough to make Zalek dislike him, and explained why so many people had wanted to nearly murder him.

Thankfully, it didn't take much more time for the headmaster to finally arrive. He appeared suddenly in the middle of the new arrivals, praising some and scolding others, and then just as suddenly as he had appeared, he had teleported them all to the grand hall of the academy. He then introduced himself as Arken, discussed the rules, gave everyone their room assignments, and offered anyone who so chose at this time the option to leave. Zalek was only slightly surprised when the disgruntled prince announced his departure. If Zalek had been in his position he probably would have left too considering the way so many people had treated him, even if he had deserved every bit of what he got, a point on which Zalek was uncertain.

After causing everyone's room keys to appear on their persons or otherwise within their access, Arken left and everyone dispersed. Zalek stretched his wings, eager to fly and see what these floating islands had to offer. He turned to Drumdawn as the other dragon offered to go exploring with him. "You're not a mind reader, are you?" Zalek asked jokingly. "I was just about to head out to do that myself." He turned to the entrance of the grand hall and began walking toward the large doors that led to the outside. Zalek wasn't exactly claustrophobic, but he didn't like being stuck inside for long periods of time, and so he eagerly walked out of the building, stretching all of his extremities as he came out into the sun.

"It is a pleasure to meet both of you," Zalek said to Drumdawn and Winter, then turned to see what the ruckus was all about, but by the time he turned around, whatever happened seemed to already be over. "Um, what just happened there?" he asked his two companions, gesturing with one of his forelimbs toward the vicinity unconscious prince and the other chaos that had briefly erupted because of the pompous ruler.

@Sedjwick Zalek was there when Sekhemi got beat. He did nothing essentially to stop Sekhemi. He’s angry and wants to blame anyone and everyone

@The One

To be fair, Zalek kind of just got there when Leval unwittingly started a murder party, and he was more concerned with the other dragon than what else was happening, so I doubt he even really noticed what was going on. But that's why Prince Ali is a jerk, and in my book he deserved everything he got and then some.

The Ordinary Mythical Academy

@The One I noticed Zalek is on Prince Ali's "Kill List." What has Zalek even done to him?

The Ordinary Mythical Academy

Zalek took off from the valley that had been his whole world up until now. He was excited to be able to see what the world beyond his valley was like, but more importantly he was eager to learn to control his powers so he would be able to protect his valley when the time came.

After a long flight, he saw the meeting place. He could have gone straight to the academy, but he wanted the chance to meet some of the other students first. What he saw was the most diverse assortment of beings he had ever seen. There were several humans and humanoids, but also a pegasus, an ice phoenix, a two headed dragon, and several other beings that he did not recognize. Seeing the two headed dragon, he decided to glide down next to his kindred who seemed to be in company with the ice phoenix, a robot, and one of the beings that Zalek was unfamiliar with. He inclined his head politely to the assembly. "Greetings," he said. "I am Zalek. Who might all of you be?"
