Cassia was wearing her full suit of clothes on that day. She had given up trying to entice Torvin... for now. The female horse approached Serris to ask him about adventuring.

"Torvin! So nice to see you!"

Unsure about what to do next, she pawed the ground with her hoof and looked at him sheepishly. A funny thing for a horse-person to do.

"Do you want to search for any jobs to do in the city? Are you busy at your smithy?"

The next question just popped out. She hadn't meant to say it.

"Do you have a mate? Are you looking for one?"

Ilsa looked over at Tallon. "If you would pardon my asking sir " Why have you asked me to come here? I'm not exactly sure why I am here. perhaps to learn more magic?"

Noname · **Reply #562 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:03:59 AM

"That is correct. You have great potential, Ilsa. Great potential indeed. However, if it remains unlocked, that potential for greatness will never be known. You could be a very powerful mage if you are trained to be." Tallon replied.

Thank you sir" Ilsa said respectfully.. "and who am I to train with?
_
Most likely me' Minna said giving Ilsa a closer look, At first glance, she liked the girl who was bigger and slightly taller than she was. Ilsa was a attractive Dracon, who Minna hoped could become a friend..
_
I meant the teacher.. I figured you and i would be classmates" Ilsa replied looking at her with a 'duh' look on her face.

"We have several teachers available. I spared no expense. Only the best for you two." Tallon replied. "You first need to learn how to control your powers. This is a tricky thing for a sorceress."

Nick22 · **Reply #565 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:13:05 AM

it will probably be a long process.. hopefully by honing our skills we can become better mages and also make some friends..' Ilsa said.. "but I heard these schools are quite cutthroat, there's lots of competition.

Noname · **Reply #566 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:15:03 AM

"It won't be easy. A female Dracon's magical powers are tied to her body and her emotions, especially in a sorceress. How are you girls feeling right now? Tired? Sore? Tense? Stressed? It affects your powers. As females, you need to feel certain emotions in order to use your magical powers, but not too much or else you will lose control. It is a tricky ordeal to manage them." Tallon replied.

A little tired from the journey, but nothing i can't handle" Ilsa said with a note of confidence in her voice.. "My father talked to me a bit about them, and having lot of siblings you learn things here and there. it helps to have two dozen siblings..sometimes.."

Noname · **Reply #568 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:22:54 AM

"Do you girls think you can handle long days, emotionally draining practice, stressful tests, and no small amount of soreness and pain?" Tallon asked, concerned. He knew that there were many Dracons, male and female, who had magical potential, but they lacked the skill and willpower to unlock it.

Nick22 · **Reply #569 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:28:43 AM

Yes" Ilsa replied shortly.. "I have no reason yet to believe otherwise.
-
Of course" Minna replied defensively. 'The long hours will all be worth it in the end.. I expect the teacher to work us hard..

Noname · **Reply #570 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:30:02 AM

"You will be worked hard... and long. You will be pushed to the limits of your endurance in order to push those limits farther, and you will be challenged to unlock everything you have. For now, though, do you girls want anything to eat or drink?" Tallon asked them.

Nick22 · **Reply #571 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:53:58 AM

"Yes" Ilsa said ' I haven't eaten much today unfortunately " Hopefully the meal will be large and filling..
_
I'm hungry too" Minna added, gazing longingly in the direction of the kitchen..

Noname · **Reply #572 on:** December 28, 2009, 02:55:45 AM

"I'll have the servants bring out some food for you two." Tallon replied. "In the meantime, you two can go sit back and relax. Your training won't start until tomorrow. We can adjust the start date for it further if you need it to be so changed."

Nick22 · **Reply #573 on:** December 28, 2009, 03:05:55 AM

Thank you' Ilsa nodded, and bowing in Tallon's direction.. departed in the direction of the guest rooms. hers was on the first floor in the middle of the hallway..
_
I'kll just hang out here dad for awhile.."Minna said to her father "I'd like a massage though.."

Noname · **Reply #574 on:** December 28, 2009, 03:15:53 AM

"I'll call the servants in to give you one." And by clapping his hands three times, he sent them the signal to give her the massage she wanted. It was very efficient. Three servants entered, one carrying a table, another with lotion, and another with some warm stones for her.

"I...I have to deliver my load of metals to my shop. I may decide to go adventuring in the near future until then..." Torvin replied with a blush.

"Torvin! The metals!" his draft animal called.

"Just a moment!"

Torvin then ordered some heavy, dark bread for breakfast.

Noname · **Reply #576 on:** December 28, 2009, 03:30:25 AM

Cassia looked a bit disappointed, but realized that he had to move the metals first. But then, as a smile came across her face;

"Do you need any help moving those metals to your shop?" she asked him.

Halo made his way to Ophion's shop, and slowed his pace to keep himself calm. He then entered the shop, followed by Shiana and Youri.

Noname · **Reply #578 on:** December 28, 2009, 03:41:19 AM

Ophion was out of the shop at the moment, but Aurescia was able to assist Halo, Shiana and Youri.

"Ahh, customers! How can I be of service?" She asked.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #579 on:** December 29, 2009, 12:53:15 AM

"Yes, well, we were wondering if there is a wizard's guild here we could talk with," Halo replied. "About some...magic issues. Do you know of one around here?"
