| Drained.
It was good to be back. The battles in Seven Rivers had been fierce. Well those few Nerta had found standing after Bob and Jacinda tore through. The old warrior was no surprise but her companion had been... possessed. She may despise the undead, but she has a real knack of slaying Children of the Old Gods. Sighing faintly, Nerta rubs at her brow and casts a casual glance toward the Old Man before shaking her head and moving up the main highway toward the Imperial District. He knew a good inn eh? Maybe she could get a bath, or five. Something to take the mud off. The route took them by the Eternal Flame, but then everything in the city was bathed in its presence now that the Imperial Palace was a ruin. The guttering violet light seemed even more faint, a testament to their lack of success. They had what? Three Dragon Tears. The ritual required eight. Trying not to let the gnawing sense of worry loom over her, Nerta moves past toward the Equites District. | |

| Oh Most Learned Masters,
I have come across an oddity in my travels and having heard about this Academy traveled here in search of answers. It is a stone of some sort, with odd markings covering the whole of it. They're faded and obscured yet I think I could not read them even if they weren't. Perhaps it is just a product of an age past yet my curiosity demands an answer. Could a scholar of these halls perhaps have a look at it? | |

| Ralidithous,
I am Jetta, Seer of the Agyrian Academy, my sight told me you would be coming to seek information on a special stone. Please if you are not in Agyr come here so I may inspect the stone. Though I suspect it may be a fake. However, my information is limited. Signed, | |

| The Old Man will not stop laughing or bothering me since he read that message. Hurry to the library and he'll look it over, and hopefully shut up for a bit. | |

| Trouble.
Pacing back and forth in the reliquary, Nerta behaved more like a caged animal than a scholar. But then of the pair she basically was. "Just sit already, it's not like stalking will bring the man any faster." The specter drifts before the great standing mirror that had been dragged in for his audiences. The grave dust that clings to him seems to shimmer and billow even as he watches the woman pivot for another lap. "It's been weeks and we only have a few Tears and things are getting worse out there," she snaps at the ghost even as he shrugs. "They are, for now. But from the crude description in the letter we might be up to six now. Almost enough...." Nerta snaps, "Almost enough for a start." Those glowing violet eyes shimmer, "Why the anger Nerta?" Pausing she shakes her head, "I don't know. Something just... doesn't feel right." | |

| Walking around the Academy Jetta goes to a table and just sits there. Some of the students in the Academy suddenly notice her and wonder why she is there. A student walks up and asks and as he did he noticed her eyes were milky white.... the boy then realized that she's blind.
"Ma'am are you ok? Do you need any help?" "No, of course not Joseph, I'm perfectly fine." Completely startled by her he asks. "Wait, how did you know my name? I have not even introduced myself yet." "Oh, *giggles slightly* my apologies, my gift as a seer allows me to see into the future, but unfortunately it has caused me to go blind. But I must admit you are handsome." "Wait a minute, aren't you Ms. Jetta, our new teacher who just recently signed on?!" "Oh? I must be, you caught on faster than I thought." She stands up and asks the student to walk with her. "So what do you come to this Academy for?" "I'm come to learn of course, I'm going to become a renowned adventuring artist." "Oh that is wonderful." They enter the classroom where all the students were in awe when they saw her. "Hello class, I'm your new teacher Ms. Jetta. I hope we will all get along." | |

| Ralidithous wanders the academy looking for Nerta. With him is a portal stone veiled under a light cloak. Upon seeing Nerta he will give her the stone for inspection. | |

| The flickering light of incindia does little to soften the visage of the ancient ghost waiting for Ralidithous in the depths of the library. His voice is warm at least, "Do not be alarmed. I've no intention to hurt you, though my companion might plan otherwise. She is very on edge right now, though I know not why." Drifting lower to inspect the stone the specter strokes his chin, "This is a Dragon's Tear to be sure. Did you wish to save the world my boy? Because we need to find a few more of these." | |

| Ralidithous is shocked to see a ghost. Swiftly though does he remember his profession is hunting down the dead and regains his composure.
"I suppose there are things in this world worth preserving, few that they are. I'm certainly not the heroic type, there are plenty I would see dead before I spared the time to save something." He pauses. "Why is one who has departed involved in living affairs? A Dragon's Tear you called it?" | |

| A fleeting smile curls in the ghostly visage on display in the great mirror, "I was given little choice in the matter. It turns out when you steal from the Gods they take notice, and make... plans."
The man's hand passes through a tome open across the great stone table that dominates the room. The pages don't even rustle. "And punishments." Chuckling lightly the specter leans back and glances around the hall filled with wonders and lore uncounted, "I dedicated my life to building great things, helping men and women achieve their dreams. Many of those dreams yet remain but they fall ever more into ruin. The Children of the Old Gods stalk the land, the people are fearful, the nations are divided." Glancing toward Ralidithous he chuckles, "And I've not heard one catchy song since my return. It is as though the people have forgotten how to live, how to laugh." "The Dragon's Tears and the knowledge in these halls will allow some small bit of respite. A lull in the storm during which maybe people can find their footing. But you say it yourself, should they be saved?" The old shade breaks into a grin, "What are your dreams lad? As they say, old habits die hard." | |

| The Magic Tool Class, We're Going To Make Our Own Tool?
The bell rings to begin class as everyone takes their seats. Jetta: "Ok students, I know you are all here so no need for attendance. Now today in this class you see special materials on your desk, you will be constructing your first magic tool." The class gets excited after only being the 2nd day into the class. Jetta: "I already know you will be very good at making your tools so do your best. You have until the time class ends. Class leader I'm leaving you in charge until I come back, there is someone I must go see." Jetta leaves the room to go see a very close friend. Nerta, if it was not for her Jetta would not be alive. meanwhile...... The class leader inspects all the students progress and they have made some astonishing new tools Class Leader: "Hey Dennis, what did you make there?" Dennis: "Oh its a magic lighter tool to help start campfires, it will mostly be useful for traveling." Class Leader: "That's pretty cool, Damon? What is that?" Damon: "Its the same kind of device that our teacher carries around with her, I imbued it with a magic circle so now I can appraise items." Class Leader: "That's astonishing! I never knew you could do that." Damon: "Really? You all can't use magic?" Class Leader: "Only a handful can actually use magic its not exactly common." Completely shocked to actually see a magic user the class leader sits down in astonishment. Then Jetta returns to the class after her talk with Nerta. The bell then suddenly rings to signal the end of class. Jetta: "Ok class make sure you read your text book from page 20 to 24 we will be going over those pages for class tomorrow." Jetta packs up her things and heads to the inn she is staying at. | |

| "Dreams, you ask?"
Ralidithous think to himself for a moment. "Well I like to keep things simple. Palaces burning, highborn kings cast down from their lofty seats, dynasties falling.. In truth when I was a lad I wanted to be one of them. I still do so sometimes." an unpleasant memory touches his face "but not as much anymore." He pauses to think again. "But those dreams can't be realized, I don't think. Nothing of our world could see them beaten, and as otherworldly as you are I doubt you'd be much use in a fight." He looks a little embarrassed. "Well a quiet cottage by a lake with good hunting abound has always sounded nice." | |

| The specter laughs. It is a chilly sound that rumbles in the dark, “This is always the problem. The dreams of one are the nightmares of the other.”
Stroking his beard the reflected elder ponders, “Burning palaces are unlikely, but in the old days men such as you were given a say in their governance. Perhaps I can get an audience with the right people and make such things reality once more.” A sudden thump draws attention from the mirror to the woman who’d just returned. Her narrowing eyes seem to shimmer in the dark of her heavy cloak and a spear rests lightly in her hand. Her hard expression is directed more to the ghost than the man, “We haven’t finished the first quest Old Man and you want to start another?” Pressing on she talks over the response, “We have to go. Vedens came to warn me, the city might not be safe.” The ghost scoffs, “This city is the safest place on the continent, Bob runs it.” “Yes but it might not be safe for us,” glancing to Ralidithous she adds, “Bring your stone, it just became a prize someone is willing to kill for.” The burning violet eyes sharpen, “Who’s dead in my library?” “One of the scholars. Now come on, we have to get out of here.” | |

| Agyrian Academy Journal Entry #1
"After spending some time in the library I have decided to venture off to a new region. I leave tomorrow morning. I hope to find some new artifacts that link my current condition, I am still not sure why my abilities have caused me to go blind. Though it is nice that I am still able to see in a sense. I will be adding more later. End Journal Entry... | |
