Reviews:
Purple-Eyes Dragon: You assume I'm considering them, however, I have already gotten a set of villains for the rest of the Archmage Trilogy.
Razer14: I'm not exactly comfortable with them being such, if it's confirmed canon, then yes, maybe.
Pabs117: He's got bigger things to worry about at the moment then marriage.
Mana: I'll treat this season 4 thing as a rumor for now, it doesn't do much good to get hopes up and have them crushed. As for Kazi… Unless she's a Sun Mage, I don't think it'd work.
Lux Aurea
The rays of sunlight beamed down upon the two lovebugs as they approached the front gates of Lux Aurea. The guards at the front stood tall as they came to a stop before them. "State your business." One of the guards demanded, holding his spear tightly as he eyed the two with caution.
Callum glanced over at briefly Rayla before his gaze rested upon the guards. "We've come for two reasons." He said, watching as the guards raised an eyebrow in interest.
Rayla stepped forward, adding in the details that Callum forgot. "I've come on the orders of the Dragon Queen while he's arrived to learn the Sun Arcanum."
The two guards glanced at one another with unsure looks, neither of them knew the reason or reasons behind why Callum wanted to learn and master the Sun Arcanum, but they were both positive that he would use it for destruction and chaos like Viren did a few months ago. "Names." They said.
"Callum, Archmage in training." Callum answered, watching the two guards closely. He already didn't like the way they acted towards him.
"Rayla, Captain of the Dragonguard." Rayla answered, curious as to why the guards didn't like Callum. She was content to believe that it was his human half they hated.
The two guards froze at the names, both having been caught off guard at their titles and the meaning behind them. "Our apologies, we were unaware of your job Captain Rayla." One of them said, somewhat ashamed that he'd questioned the Captian of the Dragonguard.
The other wasn't as shameful towards Callum though. "However, we aren't exactly allowed to let anyone enter unless they have proof of identity." He said, gesturing towards the Archmage in trained.
Callum sighed in annoyance, clearly not everyone in Lu Aurea had gotten the message, or simply decided to ignore it and hoped to get away with it. "Is this something Queen Janai has set up? Or a way to keep humans out of lux Aurea to satisfy your fears?" He asked dangerously, watching as the two Elves exchanged worried glances with one another.
"Uh…" The guards began to reply before a female Sunfire Elf walked forward. She wore armour much like that of the other Sunfire Elves, though it bore more resemblance to the armour worn by Janai. Upon her back were her twin swords.
"Is there an issue here?" She asked with authority, her amethyst eyes resting upon Callum and Rayla. She noted the staff that Callum held, and the armour worn by Rayla. "Dragonguard and a mage. An odd pair." She said, looking back at the guards as her eyes narrowed.
"I'm Captain Rayla of the Dragonguard, sent here by the Dragon Queen to recruit two Sunfire Elves into the Dragonguard." Rayla greeted, looking over the female Sunfire Elf.
"I'm Callum, though other Elves call me Olymsaruis. I've come to master the Sun Arcanum." He introduced, remaining cautious of her whilst watching the two guards shake nervously. "Though I have a feeling that these two won't let me in because I'm part human." He added, sealing the guards fate.
The Elf glanced at the two guards who backed up in fear. "Queen Janai shall be informed of this" She said, turning to face Callum and Rayla. "In the meantime, follow me." She said, turning around and leading the way inside.
The city was large, Callum could draw that much as they walked towards the palace. The Sunfire Elves marched around, busy minding their own business and enjoying their lives. Some managed to spare a few seconds to glance up and eye him with curiosity, not that he minded. It wasn't everyday that you saw a Half-Elf walking around.
As the three walked along, they came to a stop before a large building. "Guard, I bring two guests to see Queen Janai." The Elf said, watching as the guards nodded and opened the door. She continued to walk forward, Callum and Rayla following behind.
The three soon entered the throne room. Upon the throne, or rather, walking around the throne was Janai. She glanced down to see the three as they come to a stop before her. "Captain Ahshala. I see you have brought guests, one of whom I do not know." She said.
Ahshala nodded. "Queen Janai, I present to you Captain Rayla of the Dragonguard and the Mage in training, Callum."
Callum bowed as did Rayla before he spoke. "Queen Janai, we have met in the past, during the battle against Viren and his army of darkness. However, I have discovered many things since then, including my own Elven heritage." He said.
Janai raised an eyebrow as she walked down the steps towards them. "I see, and you have come why Prince Callum?" She asked.
Callum smiled lightly. "I have come because it was discovered that I am an Archmage, or will be once I've masted the other Arcanum's." He answered.
Janai walked forward, her eyes sweeping over the two. "And Captian Rayla, why have you come to Lux Aurea?"
"I have come on the orders of the Dragon Queen to recruit two Sunfire Elves for the Dragonguard in preparation for what's to come." Rayla replied, watching as Janai nodded in understanding.
"If that is so, then we should get you both a room." Janai said, smirking slightly as she walked away. "Ahshala, show our guests to the best guest room we have." She ordered, returning to walking around the throne.
Ahshala bowed in understanding. "As you command Queen Janai."
The room was large, gold and red decorated the place, a single double bed rested at the centre of the room, ruby red covers rested upon the bed with golden pillows. A wardrobe decorated in golden details with red lining stood tall close by as did a desk.
"Enjoy your stay." Ahshala said, leaving the two in silence.
Rayla glanced over the bed before looking towards Callum. "Well, who gets the bed?" She asked.
Callum shrugged his shoulders. "You." He said.
Rayla raised an eyebrow at him. "But you're the one who'll be training every day mastering the Sun Arcanum, I'm just going to be shouting orders at people for most my time." She responded.
Callum sighed. "Or we could share. Your choice." He replied, crossing his arms in the process with a smile planted upon his lips.
Rayla rolled her eyes. "Alright then, not like we haven't slept next to each other before." She said, sitting down upon the bed. "So, what do you think of Lux Aurea so far?" She asked.
Callum shrugged his shoulders as he sat down next to her. "It's ok, far superior to Katolis." He answered, looking towards the window.
A guard soon entered, standing tall she he eyed the two. "Queen Janai wishes to see you both now." He said, leaving the room afterwards.
Arrival at Lux Aurea, notice that the title is same as Caelus, expect it for all the other major Elven cities, it also marks the second part of the Sun Arcanum arc.
