Chappie 4 up, have a good time with the characters I do not own.

Within the next two days, the company had set off, and was well on the way to the City of the Gods. Alanna and Thom, still as close as ever still stuck together for as long as possible. Out of all of then, Lionel knew how hard it was to be separated from a twin…

Soon, they could see the peaks and towers of the City of the Gods. Outside the gates, both the children ran in through the huge doors. Standing inside, they were awed. It was full of books, from the floor to the ceiling. People wearing weird dirty looking clothes were roaming around, rummaging through books, slamming into their fellows. Thom would fit right in.

Lionel walked in. A tall lady wearing a black robe walked up to him. "Good morrow, might I help thou?" Lionel rolled his eyes. These people were so blur that some of the didn't know which century they lived in, despite that fact that they knew the events of other centuries in detail…

"Yes, looking for an administrator." Lionel said.

"Speaking. Who is the student?" she asked looking around.

"He is." Alanna piped in, pointing at Thom.

"Ah, I see…" she walked around Thom, inspecting him. Then some pale blue fire sparkled from her fingers. Thom began to glow. "Wonderful!" she cried, delightfully. "He's very powerful you know…" she trailed off. "He'll fit in wonderfully, you may go, he is in safe hands. I shall set him under our very own Black Robe Mage!" she squealed. "He'll be so HAPPY!"

"Lionel, may I speak to the Black Mage while the horses are being saddled?"

"yes you may." He replied, before being pounced on by Thom.

"Thank you…" he whispered. "This is the biggest favour anyone except Alanna has ever done for me… When a Mage can help you, call upon me, and I'll help no matter what." Lionel chuckled and ruffled his hair.

"You're welcome. Farewell. Alanna, do hurry." And he walked out, his faded red cloak swishing around.

Alanna and Thom were led to a huge classroom in which a tall dark handsome man was working at a table.

"Numair!" the lady cried. "I've finally found a student worth your time!" Numair looked up. He saw the two rather scared looking children staring at him. He strode across the room in 2 huge steps. He looked down as the two children cricked their necks to look at him.

"Hi, I'm Alanna of Trebond and this is my twin brother Thom of Trebond. I'm going to Shang while my Shang master allowed him to tag along to come here. He has wanted to be a Mage for ever and ever and will you please take him in?" Alanna said in one breath.

Numair crouched down. "Hi, of course I will. I can see that your brother had great power. I see that you do too…" Alanna gasped as she realised the implications. "That's why it would be better for you to stay here." He said smiling, mistaking it for joy.

"NOOOOOO! I WANNA GO TO SHANG!" she cried. Thom rolled his eyes.

"Sir, you see, first she wanted to dress up as a boy and train as a knight, now she wants to go to Shang, it's like a gender switch from birth, only I'm not gay." Thom said.

"What's gay?" Alanna asked.

"See?"

Numair chuckled. "If you don't manage in Shang, come to the University. We could always do with students like you." He said. Alanna nodded, squished her brother in a tight hug, and bidding them both goodbye, she ran off.

"BYE ALANNA! I LOVE YOU!" Thom yelled, slightly sad. He knew he wouldn't be seeing his sister for a long time…

Well? Good? I hope so. REVIEW!
