☵ The day was cold, the sound of snow crunching under footsteps as Kotoru made his way into town. His mother had given him a letter to deliver to an acquaintance of hers, an old friend of the family. The destination was one he had never heard of before, then again he had yet to explore the entirety of the city to know of its existence.
He was curious as to what place this was, and who this family friend was. His mother didnt give him details, and he was rather perturbed by it, but he figured he wouldn't let the lack of information get to him. Kotoru had been walking within the city, venturing into the northern part of Kalzasi.
Finally, he made it to his destination, looking at the building before him. It was an unassuming building of sort, but still impressive to look at. It was rather intriguing, to say the least, a truly enticing marvel to his curiosity. Before entering the building, he took a moment to take it all in.
It all screamed of magic, and he could tell mages frequented here. That and the fact the person he was to deliver the correspondence was a mage. He wondered what sort of person this correspondent was, and what kind of wizard they were.
Walking up to the massive doors he placed a hand on the aged wooden doors. " How much history have you seen, how many mages have come and gone within your halls?" he asked a silent whisper to himself, slowly crossing the threshold into the building.
Once within its walls, he was mystified by what was within. Whatever this place was, it was full of magic, magic he had never seen before. It was amazing to the young viper, eyes wide open, and taking it all in. Looking around the building his eyes fell to those in deep study, some in practice of their arcane skills, and almost everyone oozing with magical knowledge.
He plopped himself into a seat and looked around, not sure who he was to deliver the letter to, but he was far too distracted by this new place. He never knew this place even existed, but it was marvelous to the young summoner. Like a child given a new toy, he couldnt help but stare at the different mages that flocked to this place.
The excitement on his face and in his eyes was bearly containable, and his head whipped back and forth as he observed everyone. Looking, he eyed a group seeming to be having a deep debate on something. One of the wizards met his gaze and smiled. She smiled and motioned for him to come over to them, and he hesitated at first, that is till she called his name.
I beleive you have something for me child? she inquired, her voice soothing and seductive, tinged with curiosity. Kotoru shook his head in affirmation handing her the letter, though he couldn't help but look around at the various ongoings as he spoke.
"My mother asked me to deliver that to you, I apologize for being distracted. I never knew this place even existed up until now." he admitted, scratching the side of his skull nervously.
It was clear to this acquaintance and those she was conversing with that Koto was a lover of all things arcane.
Putting the letter within her robe she smiled, as one of her colleagues nodded. I see someone is rather fascinated with magic. What about magic intrigues you young Kozoku? she asked, causing the viper to finally truly look at her. She was a beauty, to say the least, though outward appearances did nothing for him.
She held this aura about her, one of confidence and grace, ambition and cunning. He smiled at her, before looking to the others that stood there as he spoke. "Magic is the best thing that could have happened to mortals. With it so much can be achieved, that isn't to say we couldnt achieve much without it. I beleive in the right hands, magic can be a driving force to achieve anything one desires. With it comes great power, and even greater responsibility, but it will be worth it in the grander scheme of things." he answered, confident in his response.
One of the men amongst the group placed a hand on the viper's shoulder and flashed a convincing smile. The group looked amongst themselves before he spoke up. That is quite the perspective to have for magic. I'm curious as to what you will do with magic? It is not something to be trifled. he began looking Kotoru in his eyes, gauging his response to the question. ☵
