"Oh, a student." Silvia chuckled. "Well, if you want to learn magic, I wouldn't suggest the wizards who live here. They may have power, but they lack technique, not to mention the part where they're terrorizing the locals." She shook her head. "Anyway, who might you be?"
I like cute things. You gotta deal with it."You may call me Silvia Ceniza." Silvia smiled as an idea came to mind. "As it happens, Aaren, I'm a sorceress myself. Would you like to follow along and watch us in action? I could show you how best to use spells. As long as you stay out of the way, it should be fine."
I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.My name is Deborah. I'm the captain of Notalot's guard, and Argus and Ausk are with the guard as well. (The captain introduces herself and her knight companions to Aaren.) We call the gargoyle Taki.
Hi! (Taki says.)
The little fellow is Andrew.
(The kitten silently gives a small wave in Aaren's direction.)
If you come along with us, you'll have to be careful. (Deborah says.) These wizards may just be a group of bullies, but as long as they are being powered by that gem at the top of the tower, they're dangerous. We had to save the local innkeeper and her nephews from being stuck in a mirror by them earlier.
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Let's hurry before they see what happened here. (Deborah says, moving on up the stairs.)
(This flight of stairs leads up to a mostly empty room where there is another, much longer flight of stairs that appear to lead up to the top of the tower.)
Hope everyone's ready in case there's a bunch of wizards up there. (Argus says, looking up this flight of stairs.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."(And it's in the room that the stairs lead to that the rest of the wizards are. Conveniently, none of them are looking in the direction of the flight of stairs and are busying themselves to eating some of the villagers' stolen food whilst loudly cutting up with each other. One of the wizards noticeably is wearing a pendant with a large glowing purple gem attached to it...and not only that, but he is talking to the three bandits whom Andrew took the Sapphire of Animor from.)
It's those three again! (Argus says.)
Well, now we know how the wizards knew we were coming and tried to trap us.... (Deborah sighs.)
What do we do? (Andrew asks.)
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."

"You don't want to know the spells these people use, trust me."
I can't say goodbye to yesterday…
