Vyrantium, Umbralis/Firstfall, Dragon:26/2020TE

Lynrael has been in the Circle for 4 Years now. He learned a lot, attended the lessons offered at the Circle, that were of interest fro him. There was no lesson plan, once you showed that you knew the basics, how to avoid possession by a demon and access to you magical reserves. There were recommended classes, and a plan on what was thought when, but it was up to the students, which field of Magic they wanted to persue, and when to take the exams. All classes were held in great halls, the voice of the teacher increased by magic, and you were free to come and go as you wanted. There was only one rule, don't disrupt your fellow students. Lynrael was always at the back, with a few pages of paper in hand, taking notes. He wore long robes, with hoots that were able to hide his near elvhen features and his white silvery hair, as well as his violet eyes. He was just another liberati, nobody the other students had to concern themselves with. He attended the classes on healing magic, the classes on advanced destructive spells as well as runes and theoretical magic.

Early in his time in the circle he found a secluded area to practice his spells and to experiment with new learned ones. It was a garden, hidden and visited only be Lynrael. It was his own little paradise. He attended the first few classes on elvhen literature, but he dropped the subject like a hot potato. Nearly all the translation used where already known to him and nearly all of them were so wrong that he was surprised that the contend held any sense. He started studying the texts in the wast library of the circle by himself. Tonnes of old texts and instructions on elvhen magic were waiting to be read by somebody, lying there undisrupted for centuries, as next to nobody knew enough to learn anything from them.

Lynrael was as happy as he could be, nobody wanted anything from him, he could do what ever he want, his master has written a binding contract, that he would be freed and legitimized by his master when he reaches the age of 14 or archives the rang of Enchanter. He was also given a monthly stipendium, that he could spend how he wants to spend it, which means not at all, as he was provided with everything he needed in the Circle. And his studies in magic held satisfying results as well as his lessons with his friends in the fade.

When he didn't read or practised, he sat in his garden and planned what he wanted to do, once he was freed. Of course making money was one of his top priority's. Without money he couldn't do anything here. He thought about technologies and ideas he could introduce into this world without horrifying consequences. Weapons were out of question but things like hygiene, infrastructure and modern agriculture were possible. He came to the conclusion, that money could be easily made with basic steam engines powered by magic as well as shipping.

Shipping was an interesting possibility, as the Peverell family was already involved in the business, and had a small fleet that could easily be refitted to allow transport by container. Container were a wonderful idea, as right know every single item loaded on the ship had to be carried into the ship and out of the ship by a person. The de- and loading of a ship took one or two weeks with this method. A big wooden box, that was fitted with two levitation circles at the bottom, that could be toggled on and off by a person and a special box that could keep stuff in stasis were an easy solution. A Container would be loaded with the things to be transported by the person that wants things to be transported, then pushed onto the ship to its place by two crew members and finished, a days work done in maybe 15 minutes. A whole ship could be ready in one or two days time with a handful of workers, and as such would be able to transport much more in a certain amount of time than all the other ships. More things transported meant more money, and the lower count of to be payed workers meant even less cost and through that even more profit.

That was the life of Lynrael in the circle, boring from an outsiders perspective, learning, planing and nothing else. What Lynrael didn't know was that another student an interested in him. And it may be his first friend in this life.

Paulus Argentum PVO:

Paulus Argentum was intrigued by this student that had been in the Circle for 4 Years now. He himself was already 6 Years in the Circle and just reached the age of 15. He had first seen the kid in the class of elvhen Literature, but after 6 lessons the kid simply didn't attend any more. That it self was not that surprising, it was often the case, that a new student gave up after a few lessons. And to be true he forgot the kid pretty fast, as he was just another student, even if he was pretty young. But when he saw the kid a month ago reading in the Library a book he himself tried to read an utterly failed, he was intrigued. He started to look out for the kid, wanting to know what lessons he actually attended, and he was surprised. He saw the kid in most of the advanced classes, and they were usually only attended by the older students as the could be pretty dry. The kid never spoke, he never raised his hand, only taking notes and watching the teacher with his violet eyes. VIOLET EYES! How could nobody noticed that? And he even saw sometimes silver strands of hair falling out of the hood the kid always wore. The kid was exotic and at least quite intelligent. And a week ago Paulus actively followed the kid around, some might even call it stalking. The child was never at the training yards like all the other students, he simply disappeared after the lessons, and was only seen at mealtimes in the grand hall. When Paulus asked other students they looked at him and shrugged with the shoulders, they did not know him and he was of no interested for them. And today he finally saw where he went after the lessons. Sitting in a hidden garden, a garden he had never seen or heard of, but that was not surprising, the Circle was gigantic and as such had many areas long forgotten, reading a book, seemingly unaware what's happening around him.

Sooo, a short chapter :( The next one will be longer :) I hope you survived the 2 weeks ^^
