Chapter ten: Enemies within
"Who is he to act so… so holy!" Atia rushed a corner at her way home from the medic nearly colliding with a magician.
Lidye followed Atia apologizing to the magician on her way. "You've only been here a week, and you met this boy, what two days ago, how can you judge him after only two days?"
Atia turned around on one heel looking hard on Lidye "first of all, he don't know this place, or me… and second he's a foreigner"
"I agree with number one, but the second? You've always treated rich and poor, Kyralian Sachakan… so why?" Lidye stepped back a little, giving herself some breathing space.
…Atias expression softened "I guess you're right, just cause I don't like him doesn't give me the right to attack his where about… I am not raised like that"
Lidye took a hold around Atias bag and started walking in a slow pace.
Rydell leaned his back against the tree breathing hard, exhausted after his flee from the Kyralian soldier. I got to tell this to the Guild, this is not to be silenced.
Rydell turned his head in the direction of the snap, the seconds followed suit just staring completely tense, ready to flee a little bit more. But as his attention was turned to the bush a shadow rose behind him…
"You want this kid to be a novice" Osen itched his palm, a new habit after being elected as administrator.
"There shouldn't be a problem, now should there. Because we all lay the rules back then, and it clearly say that anyone with magical abilities should be trained as an novice, he can't wait a year, not when he's already capable of writing and doing mathematics"
Balkan frowned, and moved his hands from under his chin, resting back in the chair "I'll say we give it a chance"
Vinara and the other magicians nodded.
"So it is decided… we will give this Shinichi a place among us" Osen sighed, clearly matters hadn't turned the way he wanted.
The platen moved slowly through the city.
"We'll be there right away" Sonea noted as the platen moved into the inner city.
"There's a difference, the buildings is… richer" Shinichi turned his stare away from the opening and looked at Sonea questioningly.
Sonea let out a bitter laugh "you see and as you will learn in the history classes you are going to attend, the outer city once was called the sums, it is no more! It took many years but now we've finally enriched it, you might see worn and old buildings, but my generation, at least some of them sees' progress" Sonea smiled of the few memories that flooded in.
"I see…" Shinichi nodded.
"Why did we have to walk the last piece of way?" Shinichi looked at Sonea.
"Because the Guild is an impressive sight that you don't forget right away"
Shinichi stopped staring at the long entrance from the guild gates to the guild itself his glare filled with awe.
"The guild" Sonea took a deep breath and sighed out "We have arrived!"
