A/N: this is my first fanfic and I do hope that some will give me feedback; I choose to start my story, were Trudi stopped the Black Magician Trilogy.
Chapter one: A changed Guild
The tarns rolled up through the Guild gates, while Rothen hurried down the steep staircase to enter the grounds, a line of sweat had claimed place when Rothen finally arrived at the University just in time to see the new novice's enter the Dome. It was a marvellous sight to see rich and poor side by side, though the teens from the better families did send some looks to their new classmates, they did not complain or snort like the teens at Soneas ceremony.
Rothen felt a certain pride grow larger for each year, for each acceptance ceremony. But today was something special. Fifteen years had passed since The Great Battle against the Sachakan sorceresses, much had changed, the teachers attitude against Sonea and through time against the "slum" novices.
"It's a big day, no wonder you're tense" Rothen turned to face the male voice.
"What the… You didn't have to"
"That may be right but I needed to see this, it is a big day for Sonea. And Tayend really love Kyralia and I can't say no to him"
"All suspects it must've been irritating… please accept my apology and welcome Ambassador Dannyl, my old friend" Rothen said apologetically.
"I accept" Dannyl said, obviously amused by his old friends apology. "When does the ceremony start?"
"In an hour or so" it came from Rothen hastily.
High lord Balkan sighed with relief when he finally finished writing the letters to the different lords and important families throughout the ally lands.
The ceremony was about to start in thirty minutes. He was a busy man and often postponed the acceptance ceremony, but not today he couldn't.
The servants hushed, through the secret tunnels to make it in time. Ten minutes no more thought Tania, when she entered one of many tunnels.
"Just on time Sonea" Vinara whispered to her, while they made it up to the podium.
"I know, it was a close one, but we made it in time, though I doubt she'll be as calm" Sonea said while they took their respective seats.
"That's because she has a lot to live up to"
Administrator Osen rose and waited for the audience to silence; it took no more than some sec's after the administrator rose before the murmur stopped.
Osen spoke " fifteen years have passed since the great battle, and the Magicians Guild have changed and reformed to the benefit of the people" these words, brought much yields from the audience, and when they fell silent again, Osen could continue his speak, "but I will not take your time. Let the acceptance ceremony start, Lord Balkan will you" Balkan rose he was an imposing figure standing in complete white "Novices you must all now make a vow to protect the people throughout the ally lands and to do no harm unless necessary"
"Atia Daughter of former high lord Akkarin and Black Magician Sonea will you vow to protect the people throughout the ally lands and to do no harm unless necessary"
"I Atia Daughter of former high lord Akkarin and Black Magician Sonea vow to protect the people throughout the ally lands and to do no harm unless necessary"
