Chapter 2: A new man.
I attempted to stop the light coming from my hands, that the Elf Faralda, said was "Magelight". I had cast it at the symbol on the ground, but my hands were still glowing. "Well done indeed, I think you'll be a superb addition to the College. Welcome, Apprentice." She said to me, with a slightly impressed grin. "Thank you, but how do I get my hands to stop glowing?" I asked her, while moving my hands around, rubbing them together, and trying different things. "Make a fist with both of your hands, and Magelight should fade away. Strange though, normally Mage-Light is white, but for you, it's orange." She said with a hmm. I turned my hands into fists, and was glad the light stopped. "Well then, I'll lead you across the bridge. Once you're inside you'll want to speak with Mirabelle Ervine, our Master Wizard. Please, follow me." She said as she walked farther on the bridge.
While we walked toward the College, I noticed that the bridge looked broken and crumbled at certain parts. At different parts of the bridge, there were structures that looked similar to wells , which were filled with blue water by the appearance, though it smelled horribly. "Here we are, just head in there, and ask for Mirabelle. I must return to my post, though it was good to meet you, um..." She said, as I then noticed I had not told her my name. "I'm Robent, Robent Thetri." I told her, while pulling my cloak tighter around me. Damn, I feel cold even in my winter clothes. That blasted merchant said I wouldn't even feel cold once I got here. "Nice to meet you Robent." She said with a strange grin. I walked into the College courtyard, and realized how big the College was. "Wow, that could eat my old school." I muttered to myself. I looked for a woman that looked important. "I believe I made myself rather clear." A female voice said nearby. I turned and saw a woman, with short brown hair talking with an Altmer Elf. Normally I wouldn't eavesdrop, but she sounded important. "Yes of course. I'm simply trying to understand the reasoning behind the decision." The Altmer replied.
The conversation went on for a few more moments, by the time it was over, I had found out that the women was definitely Mirabelle, and that the Altmer was annoying. When the elf left, I walked towards Mirabelle. "Welcome to the College." She said to me, though it wasn't full hearted, this was a stressed out woman. "I was told to come see you." I told her and mentioned how Faralda had let me pass. "Another new student... I'm surprised at how many of you there are lately." She said. What is that suppose to mean? "Well, first you'll need these. While you're not required to wear them, you may find them more to your liking than your current clothes." She said handing me a tan and dark gray robe, a separate tan hood, and a pair of boots. "I'll wear them, but can I keep my cloak and coat on? I'm not used to the cold" I told her as I slightly shivered. "That's perfectly fine, don't worry about the cold, you'll adjust." She said kindly. "Thank you." I politely told her.
"I'll give you a brief tour, and then we'll get you to your first class. Are you ready to begin?" She asked me. "I'm ready, this place looks too amazing to say no" I said while looking around. "Wonderful. Please follow me, and don't wander off. " She said to me, while walking to the doors. I followed her at a fast pace. " The prominent feature here is the Hall of the Elements. It's our primary location for lectures, practice sessions, and general meetings." She said with pride as we walked through the giant doors. "The Arcanaeum is located above the hall, and the Arch-Mage's quarters above that." She explained during our walk.
We talked about the College for a time, her explaining, me asking questions, and her answering them. We stopped by an area where I changed, and then she continued the tour. She brought me to the living quarters, and explained the College's problems with Winterhold's Nord residents. The living quarters consisted of a circular room, with a large structure in the middle similar to the ones on the bridge; but this structure had a blue fire burning in it. There were six rooms attached to the first room, and a small room with a staircase opposite of the entrance. She explained that I would be sharing the area with my peers, and that I would be meeting them soon. My room was simple, it had a bed, a chair, a table, a wardrobe, some barrels, and various other things. After she explained everything about the quarters, she said. "Now, let's go back to the Hall of the Elements, where most of the members gather for lectures and study sessions." I sighed, I hiked through acres of frozen land, ran from animals that wanted to eat me, and I have to go to class already. The sun had set already, when does a man get to rest?
This chapter and chapter 3, 4, maybe 5 will cover the beginning of Robent's Nirn days, a bit after Chapter 4/5 the plot will diverge from canon. Just hold on with me. Have a good day or night! Peace out!
