Val swayed quietly in her saddle, the little pack horse nickered a greeting as her servant rode up beside her. She glanced momentarily at the woman, then went back to her book. "Yes Cass?" The servant glanced back at her own pack horse, comparing the size of its packs to eachother. "My lady dont you think you brought a little too much?" Val snorted and rolled her eyes. "Cass now your place. I brought only the things I cannot live without. It took me two weeks to pack, then remove what I didnt need." The servant sighed softly and fell into place beside her. "Its a rather large caravan isnt it?" Val narrowed her eyes and looked up. "Huh? We're in a caravan?.... Oh.. Yeah I guess it is isnt it." She shrugged and looked back down at the pages. "Dont you want to make some friends?" She shook her head and made a motion, signaling that she was speaking about the people in the Caravan. "Friends would only make trouble. Fights, gossip, boys... Its all something that I want nothing to do with.... And its going to be a long school year." Her servant rolled her eyes and looked up at the school. "Indeed."

~Dyonilia rode upon her Frost Saber, her entire body covered in a brown cloak made of linen. She lifted her head up slightly and looked to the tower as they approached. She patted the Frost Saber between the ears and spoke softly in her native tongue. If anyone understood the language of the Night Elves they would know she spoke of ease and reassurance that the journey would be over momentarily.~

Gorak walked behind the caravan at a steady pace, he had been given a mount but he prefered to walk. His looked over his shoulder to see the runic symbols that were carved int his back and arms. He then checked his bad to make sure his supplies were secure anc continued.

"Arr, i ate being round alliance races" he said to himself

o.0.... where is everybody?))

Val glanced back behind her, hearing the light and flowing language of her people. She smiled and looked further back along the line of people, spotting... oh god.... An orc? This was going to be a long year. She sighed heavily and rubbed her eyes, feeling her mount heave a sigh as well beneath the saddle her father had given her. She smiled and gave him a loving pat. "You'll get to rest soon dont worry."

The young sorceress, bright blonde hair and only partially matured body glanced with her emerald green eyes a flinching gaze down the hill to the massive tower that claimed the land at the end of the valley. It was not only as magnficent as she had been told, but the energy it emitted was unlike anything she had ever felt before. She knew how to sense the magic aura of humans, but never had she heard of buildings that emitt magical auras. While she pondered over the mystical structure, she followed with her eyes the other members of the caravan. She couldn't help but to smile to how the words of a single human mage could make so many different people and races put the differences aside. If a simple note caused this, then one could only imagine the impact he had if he put his back into things.

Medivh .. The Keeper of Secrets. She couldn't wait to see him. She pulled the hood of her ruby-red robe over her head and slacked back into the crowd that came with the caravan. She werent one interested in sticking out of the crowd, so she hid often in the far end or the center of the caravan, often if the chance came her way inside the wagon.

=Rox was upon his Red Hawkstrider. The ride was boring and he spent the majority of his time snapping his fingers and producing a flame that sprouted up then faded into smoke over and over. He wore plain blue robes and sandles. After the flame thing got boring he moved a hand through his short spiked red hair and looked around at those he would be spending the next year with.=

From the highest window in the tall tower, the robed figure who had summoned the pack of people glanced down, observing their approach. It was only for a few seconds, before he then disappeared into the darkness of the room he stood in, but for the seconds that he did stand by the window, the young sorceress faintly sensed his presence and knew now that this was really going to happen. Tutoring by the great Keeper of Secrets.

The caravan reached the end of the hill, and had nothing but a straight line left to go. At the far end of the now final road to their destination, anyone with average eyesight could see a dark figure by the gates of Karazhan. The figure was a stooped, thin humanoid, but only marginally human. Almost seemed like a crossing between a human and some beastial creature, possibly weasle. Of course, it was just nonsense. One thing was definate however, and that was that whatever this being had been through, it was a lot and it was harsh. A quick glance was all that was needed to make the assumption that this being's bodyweight was too heavy for even the being-self to carry, resulting in a tired, low-hanging stance. Was it age that had done this, or was it something else?

The young sorceress, known as Vulpix, did not know what to think, but the being did creep her out more and more the closer they got to the gates where this possible greeter was waiting for them. His face was shaded, dark and the only real visibility was his white eyes and the glance he gave the incoming caravan.

As the caravan reached the supposively man, the greeter, he remained silent, straightened his back a little, and stared at the arrivals.

Val gulped and slipped her book back into her pack. She wasn't going to take her eyes off the weasle man. He was too weird to trust, and she knew Cass realized this too. She looked over at her servant, both of them were wondering what they had gotten themselves into.

Gorak just grunted at the weasle like man and chuckled at the pathetic beast. He walked past eagerly awaiting for the training to start

=Rox Wolfen made his way forward. As he walked by the greeter he eyed him a moment then followed the Orc inside, following close to the only other Horde member he has yet to see.=

.... Good to know I am not the only one here...

=He spoke in Orcish to Gorak as he followed.

Gorak shrugged as he glanced back at the blood elf

"I guess dats good, but dis puny night elves and oomies(humans) won't try anything either way" He chuckled and continued walking

=Rox shrugged and looked back at the others, his eyes setting on one human female. Val.=

Oh I wouldnt be surprised to find they are more then capable of handling themselves.

=He said looking at her. When he finished he turned back looking to Gorak.=

Names Rox Wolfen if you care to know it.....

=He introduced himself casually but also in a manner to seem like he didnt care if the orc wanted to know the name or not.=

ahem... val is a night elf.))

Meh change Human Female to night Elf Female. ^.^ there. all better.))

((Yeah! Stupid!))

~Dyonilia made her way past the odd man, following the Orc and his Elf 'Friend'. She didnt bother to remove her hood yet. she didnt feel comfortable enough to do such.~

Val sighed and edged her horse forward and made her way past the creepy man. She looked up at saw the blood elf look back at her. She narrowed her eyes and looked down at the back of her horse's neck. This place was weird.

~She noticed the Blood elf look behind him then she turned to look at another Night elf. She stopped and waited until the other night elf rode up and then began riding with her. She pulled her hood back letting long blue hair fall out and her purple skin exposed.~ Good to see another in this place. It surley will make the time more bearable.

"You are the new students?" a soft voice, almost sepulchral came from the stooped being, his face now raised to meet the first arrivals of the caravan and glanced then over the shoulders of those closest, to follow the trail of people all the way to the end of the caravan. While he was expecting a response from one or several, he meanwhile hulked over to the gate where many of the people in the front where waiting. He picked up a glittering key and shoved it into the lock, and with more of a snap than a click did it unlock. With a loud ratteling, the metal gate raised into a dark space above the doorway. Behind it, a massive wooden door waited, and while the greeter seemed to be as muscular as a skeleton, he opened the massive door with ease. Not for a second from the point where he had uttered his first words to the point where the wooden door was opened had his facial expression altered.

"Stable to the left, inside the tower" He blustered, although with a neutral, submissive tone. His voice, as sepulchral as it was gave Vulpix the creeps every time it reached her. A shutter was all she gave out as she tightened the grip of her only possession, a wooly backpack. She waited by the gate, having promised herself to not be the first, nor the last one to enter the tower. She didnt wanna walk into something, nor did she want the creepy servant breathing in her neck.

Those that would to enter the tower would be met by an immediate crossway. Straight ahead waited stairs that never seemed to end, to the right waited a path that seemingly lead to the basement, and to the left which was the direction the creepy man had given them, was without misstake, a stable, inside the building itself. One that entered the tower would have a hard time not being amazed non-the-less, for the height to the roof was massive, the walls was clad with costy colors and magnificent paintings, with golden silk cloth hanging down the rough stone walls.

She smiled and nodded her greeting. "Indeed. Or at least it will keep Mr. Fuzzy Weasel Man away from us and out of our pants. I'm happy I'll never be alone." She smiled and looked back at her servant. "This is Cass." Cass nodded and smiled. "Evening."

~Dyonilia nodded softly.~ My name is Dyonillia Dawn. Pleasure to meet you both. As for the Weasel Man, as you call him, He doesnt seem to be much of a Threat. ~She looks around at the woods they had just rode out of.~ The woods here however are just too diffrent from home.... ~She frowned lightly. Mainly because she had no one here with her like Val did~

Gorak grunted and glancd at Rox again

"Name's Gorak" he continued walking looked around over at everything trying to soak it all in, it was a magnificant place

~She seemed to lighten up a little as Val said she could join them.~ I do not wish to impose... But if it is no problem then I would feel much better being with others who I am familiar with if only by race. ~she moved a hand through her hair once then looked ahead at the Blood Elf~ ... By the way.. Was it me or was he staring at you earlier?

Val sighed and nodded. "Yeah... I dont know what to make of it... Him or the orc." Cass nodded her agreement and patted her horse.

~Dyon nodded her head a bit.~ Orcs always seem to freak me out a bit... No matter how they act. As for the Elfs, I heard a Human mage married one once. ~she shrugged~ I dont know the details real well but they had something to do with the whole dragon deal at Grim Batol some time ago. Its a very romantic sto... ~She stopped talking realizing she was just droning on and on.~ Sorry... I... tend to ramble...

Val laughed and shook her head. "Oh no hun go on I've never heard of this before. I dont get out of my room much.. Please go on." Cass rolled her eyes and glanced around, wondering where she was going to stay.. The stables?... Probably.

Oh... Well apparently a human mage and an Elf Ranger went on this mission or something and through their ordeals actually married.... I havent heard of anything after that... I think they are still alive. But im not really sure. ~She shrugs a bit then looks to Cass~ you dont say much do you?

She frowned and looked down at the ground. "I wonder how their kids look." Cass glanced over at her and raised a brow. "Am I even allowed to speak?" Val shrugged and smiled. "Go ahead. She's a friend." Cass nodded and blushed. "Thank you my lady."

~Dyon shrugged a bit~ I dont think I could imagin a Human-Elf child. But I am sure it is a sight to behold. ~She smiled at the thought then laughed softly at Cass~ How long have you two known each other?

"The master said you to be here tonight. He awaits in the guest quarters. Blinders?" He finished his sentence with what to Vulpix seemed like an incredibly irrelevant question. Blinders? The man who had been called for a weasle man passed the group and started heading up the stairs. The caravan masters was directed to the stable, and the tower servant started heading up the stairs as if expecting all students to follow him.

Vulpix was not quite as social as the others, for more than one reason. She studied the others and kept herself in the background, but from the point where they had met this strange weasle man she dared not look away from him. If it was distrust or fear, she barely knew herself. A few steps of stairs and the man uttered yet another word: "Moroes"

Zutul that had just followed with the other members of the caravan until this point had found a rather dark cornor to stand in, he had been scared at first by the weasel like man, and even more scared when he with ease opened the big gate, but the fear had begun to fade now that he was in the actual tower, he knew that the weasel man would be nothing compared to what they could meet during their long training to become full blown mages. He turned his head when he heard the strange man speak and nodded in agreement it was as the man said they were blind to the winds of magic.

Val raised a brow and dismounted. I think he's a bit crazy. I don't blaim him though. I'd go crazy too if I had to stay here for who knows how long." She passed her reins to Cass, who waited to take Dyons as well. "Ive been with her since she was a baby."

A Figure from the distance could be seen and heard, from the full gallop of his horse, riding up quickly on the group. As he got to them he pulled back on the reins and the horse came to a sliding halt.
"Sorry Im late" He said. "I live a great distance."

A Human with long jet black hair to his waist, wearing Black leather pants and vest, white shirt and Black multi- buckled boots, dismounted. "Hi , I am Thustra Zoar" He said addressing the group.

~Dyon dismounted her Frost saber and walked to his head. She gently stroked under his chin and whispered more words of comfort in the Thalassian((I think i spelled it right)). She then looked to Cass who seemed to be waiting to take her mount and then reluctently allowed it. She then turned to Val to follow her~ I hope Harra will be alright. ~she said softly as she walked away. She then looked to Val~ My father gave him to me when I was young.... Ive raised him with my fathers help from a cub and we have become very attached... ~Harra, Dyons Frost Saber, looked back as Dyon walked away looking a bit sad.~

Val smiled and patted her new friend on the back. "It's ok. Cass will keep him company." She looked back at the new comer and smiled. "Hey its a human... He's kinda cute." She laughed softly and looked back in front of her.

~Dyon looked back to see the Human and her already purple skin turned darker. She quickly looked ahead of her and smiled a bit~ .... I suppose. ~Dyon looked to the 'weasel' man as he went inside and made her way inside with the others.~ What are you here to study? ~She asked as her eyes looked about, her question towards Val~

"So am In the right place" He said jokingly ,as if there were any other Towers like this in the realm.
"Wow you must be Royalty" he said looking at the well dressed Elf with the servant.
"Where do you guys hail from?" Thustra said addressing both Elven girls.

~Dyon nibbled on her lip softly~ Darnassus.. ~She said as she faced forward and walked, her voice very shy sounding, her eyes looking downward.~

..Dyonilia Dawn..... ~She said looking back to the human, speaking in her shy voice still. She then looked forward again and wrapped her arms around herself in a hug~

"Valainistima,Dyonilia... I am Thustra Zoar at your disposal" He said bowing. "I hail from Darkwater in the Kingdom of Lazmear" saying it as if very proud of that fact. "I will let you lead the way" he motioned as he fallowed them inside.

"The guest quarter, and the master" The weasly man that had escorted the group had reached his first halt, which was in what seemed to be a massive banquet hall. His voice as he spoke was as neutral as ever, and from the point where he had first met the group to the point where he had brought them to the guest quarters, he did not seem to have a single care in the world. He gestured with his left hand towards the room they had entered, as the group was slowly making their way up the stairs. Tables, chairs, decorations, pretty much everything indicated that this was more than merely a guest quarter. It seemed to be a massive hall for festivity, nobles and kings. Golden cups, dinner already waiting on the table, wine in each glass, silver, golden and violet silk clad chairs, tables, walls and even the floor. Those that had seen the dining chamber even in Stormwind Castle had seen nothing yet. The hall was of such size and beauty that nothing of the sort had ever been sighted on Azeroth before.

At the far end of the massive, square room was what could be without modesty be considered a throne. In front of the throne, with his back turned to both the room and the guest arrivals, stood a man in a brown, thick robe. Heavy, feathery leather shoulderpads hung over his neck and shoulders and he stood in a slope, appearing to be reading a book while standing. His face was not visible, only his back with his robe and powerful shoulderpads. Against the throne rested what seemed to be a simple staff, used for elder men to support their own weight when they wandered. He hung over his book with passion, his hands rested against the table to support his own weight.

Although the weasly man was well within hearing of the robed man, no response or even a single reaction had been given him by the man at the far end of the room. Vulpix glanced over at the servant, expecting frustration, or that he would repeat himself in belief he had not been heard. But nothing. The servant stood dead silent, his gaze as neutral as his voice and facial expression. Vulpix glanced over to the robed man, wondering if that was really the greatly rumored Medivh. He did not seem much to the world.

Val nodded and waved her hand casually. "Call me Val." She stumbled to a halt, nearly running into the weasel man. She flailed and quickly jumped back. "Wha-? Why did we stop?" She dusted herself off and looked over at the man at the far end of the room. She nudged Dyonilia in the side. "Who do you think he is?"

Gorak slowly walked in looking around at everything, he was amazed at how wonderfuly crafter everything was in this place.

=Rox let out a low whistle as he looked at the place.=

Well, Not bad. Not bad.

~Dyon lightly bumped into Val cause she was busy looking around at the hall.~ What? Oh.... ~she looked forward to the Robed man and blinked slightly. She let out a tiny grunt when Val nudged her then she shook her head.~ I dont know.... but... ~While she was actually concentrating on the area she could feel strong magical energies and they seemed to be coming from the one up ahead.~ ... I dont like this... ~She muttered to herself. She was a Druid, despite her fathers words to become a Priestess, and she was intuned with all kinds of energies.~

Val frowned and looked over at Dyon. "What? Something wrong?"

Thustra, hearing Dyon, whispered. "There is nothing to fear. His power is overwhelming but, we were invited. I cant imagine it was for any malevolent intent. Calm yourself and be brave" he said in hopes to relieve some of Dyons anxiety.

~she looked to Val~ He has strong magic energy and it just... ~She was interupted by Thustra and she blinked a bit at him. She then looked to Val and spoke in their races language~ -Did he just tell me to Calm myself?-

Val closed her eyes and nodded, reasponding in the same tongue. "Yes he did."

~Dyon shook her head lightly then looked to Thustra~ I am Calm. Just because I say I do not like something does not mean I am about to lose my head over it. ~The shyness in her voice was gone as she said her words. When she finished she bit her lower lip a bit and turned to face forward to the Robed man. At that time she noticed the food on the table.~ .... is that... Oh thank the Goddess. Food! ~She put a hand over her mouth from her outburst then half smiled at Val speaking in a whisper.~ .. I dropped my food pack some time ago and didnt realize it until this morning ...so.. kinda hungry... ~Despite hunger she waited patiently for the 'Weasel' Man to allow them to take a seat.~

Thustra, not understanding the elven girls , spoke "I dont like being in the dark when it comes to language. Maybe one of you would be so kind as to teach me one day?" he said in hopes that one would take him up on it, knowing it was unlikely. Elves thought themselves above Humans.

He replied to Dyons comments. "Relax I was just trying to help"

thinking to himself

=Damn elves are such beautiful creatures=

Val raised a brow and looked over at Dyon. "Why didn't you say something?" Her attentioned turned to the human. "We'll see sweetie." She winked and looked at the weasel man. "Umm are we waiting for something?"

~Dyon shrugged a bit~ I didnt know anyone... It would of felt wierd asking for anything. ~She then nudged Val with a smile speaking in their language again.~ -You should teach him a few things. You did say he was cute.- ~She looked to him as she said the word cute then quickly looked back to Val~ -It wouldnt hurt to give it a shot... might even be... entertaining... - ~she then looked to Thustra and speaking common again.~ I know you are trying to help and I do appreciate it. And Im sure Val does too.

The robed man straightened himself to an upright position, although not turning around to face the group just yet. As he finally spoke, he spoke with a voice that signified age, wisdom and assertivity. "That will be all, Moroes" and with that, the servant nodded and walked down the stairs without a word. Without giving the arrivals as much as a single glance. Not a care in the world. The robed figure then turned around, and closed the book he was reading as he turned in the same motion. His face was aged, showing both experience and scars.

"You may be seated, and eat yourselves to satisfaction. The tables are set for you all, for this purpose alone. Your journey has been long and demanding. You have deserved the rest" His voice was incrediby strong, especially for one who seemed as old as his facial expression made him appear to be. With telekinetic did he pull the staff of his to his hand and walked down the few steps of stairs there was from the master table to the rest of the hall, and a faint smile clad his face as he glanced at the newly arrived.

"I am Medivh. Welcome to Karazhan"

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/3/34/Medivh3.jpg

"Sweet" Thustra exclaimed "i am starving" He glanced over to Dyon noticing her eyeing the food.

Thustra not wanting to be rude addressed Medivh "Thank you for your hospitality.The food looks delectable"

~Dyons eyes widened. She had heard of one called Medivh. A powerful human by reputation alone. But then it clicked. He said that they could sit down and eat. She took Val by the arm, excited they could finally eat and pulled her along as she went to the table.~

Val smiled and looked at Dyon. "Well I would but you know, he might not learn to well." She smiled and spoke in English. "So shall we eat?"

=He watched as the Night Elf woman hurried to the table and shook his head=

She seems a little impatient... I thought her race was all about that?

=He let out a chuckle then nodded to Gorak.=

Come on lets go get a seat before she eats everything..

=He made his way over to the table and sat down in a chair looking at the selection and picking at a few things placing food upon his plate.=

Gorak nodded and walked over to a seat next to Rox, he smiled as he saw all the food and began putting all of the meat products on his plate, he then quickly began to devour them

Thustra made sure to sit next to the Elven girls and started to eat.

It was amusing to him to watch the Orc stuffing his face.

=So undignified= he thought

While Dinning, Thustra addressed the Mage.

"Why is it so, great Medivh, that you have summoned us here?"

Val sat and munched happily. She grinned as an idea popped into her head. She tapped Dyon and nodded at the human beside her. She reached down to pick up a piece of fruit. She made her finger slip and the grape rolled off the table and right into Thustra's lap. Without hesitation she reached down and plucked the grape out from between his legs and popped it into her mouth, only sparing him a playful glance before looking back to Dyon and giggling softly.

Thustra, looking at Val like she was on the menu, spoke "Well your not shy are you?"

Val shrugged and looked down at her plate. "Im bred not to be." She looked at Dyon and spoke in their tongue. "Caught like a fish."

~Dyon just shook her head with a smirk as she nibbled on a peice of bread.~ -...that was already out of water- ~She added in the language.~ -Look at him. Its obviouse he has a thing for you. Might as well go for it.- ~She then looks around the hall and grabs an empty plate putting fruit and bread upon it. She bit her bottom lip as she looked to the others and then stood up, looking to Val~ Where is Cass at? ~Asking in Common~

"That is a good thing" Thustra said to Val. " I like uninhibited people. You know where they stand and from your little display ,although it be 'accidental', speaks volumes. Humans are more intuitive than you give them credit for" he said with a wink.

"Why I have is a question for another time" Medivh uttered as he walked over to the table where many had seated themselves and had already begun feasting.

"A more topical question would be why you have accepted. Some are here for their own personal reasons, while others are here as part of a grander plan. Others neither, while some both. Be assured that by the time we are done here, you will have learnt lessons not you nor your superiors thought necessary. I will teach you to think. To talk. To admit, and more. You will learn what others think they know. And while I teach you what you think you want to learn, you will come to understand that you are summoned here for a purpose grander than all of you and your own agenda, and grander than even me" He paused for a moment, catching his breath from the longer sentence. He levitated an apple into his hand, took a bite and then slammed the bottom of his staff into the floor.

"Enough of that. Feast. If there is anything you want, Moroes the Steward who you've already met will assist you with it. The guest quarter rooms is one floor up. Which room belongs to who I trust in you all. I will contact you when it is time" And as the sound of his staff impacting the floor faded, in a whirl of wind did the magi Medivh disappear, nowhere to be seen. Gone with the wind.

"He brings up a good point" Thustra said looking at Val and Dyon. "Why are you guys here? Im in it for the adventure and , I guess I would have to say, for more selfish reasons, to grow powerful in my magic. One doesn't get this kind of opportunity often" He said,waiting for a reply from either.

=Rox chewed his food watching the Night Elfs. He then turned his head slightly to Gorak.=

Ill be right back...

=With that Rox got to his feet and moved down the table to sit across from the two women.=

I heard you speaking of the Human Mage, Rhonin, and his Elf Ranger wife Veressa Windrunner. Sister to Lady Sylvanass, the Dead Queen herself, and Alleria Windrunner, a Hero of the second war.... Last I heard Veressa was pregnate with two children when Rhonin was called away by some unknown person.....

=He smirked a bit and nodded.=

My name is Rox wolfen. Mage and scholar. If there is a story out there ive heard it. Pleasure to meet you both.

=He picked a grape and tossed it in the air catching it in his mouth=

"So Ill ask you the same" Thustra said as Rox gulped the grape down. "What brings you here?" Thinking for a sec he realized he had not introduced himself. "Forgive me, I am Thustra Zoar of the Darkwater Guild" he said extending his hand.

=Rox ignored the hand and took another grape=

Im simply here for documentation. The great and powerful Mage opening his doors to other magic wielding humanoids? Sounds like a great story..... and the chance to learn more about magic and the ways of the world is also quite nice as well.

~Dyon blinked a bit and then lightly smiled.~ so thats how it ended? Hmm.. ~she then looked to the human and shrugged~ I am here to better understand Magic. To grow stronger is just an end result of what training there is to come. But that has nothing to do with why I am here. Elune watchs me and protects me through her wood.... But here I am so far from her and I pray she can still hear my words during the night.

Val smiled and raised a brow, quietly watching the Blood Elf before them. She glanced over at Dyon for a moment. The look said, 'We're becoming pretty popular around here.' Of course being of the Korath nobility she was use to this kind of attention.. And she wanted it to stay that way.

Thustra,ignoreing the rude Elf who called himself Rox, leaned and spoke to Val "So tell me about yourself. Are you of a Royal line? Im guessing you are as fine a clothes as you wear and having a servant." He asked wondering why an Elf of privilege would bother venturing so far from such a comfortable life.

Val smiled and glanced at him, speaking in her own tongue so Dyon could hear. She made her voice sound sweet and innocent as if she was complimenting him. "You have no manners do you, Mr. Obvious." Her smile faded a bit as she returned to English. "Yes I am nobility."

~Dyon frowned a bit as Val seemed to not hear her question, and she formed a half smile as she spoke to the human in their own language. She then figured that Cass would be at the Stables since thats where she went to last she saw.~ Ill be back.... ~Dyon picked up the plate of fruit and bread she made then walked out of the hall and to the stables.~

Thustra, feeling the condescending tone from Val , thought.

=Spoiled Highborn. I hope she knows what she is in store for; away from her sheltered world=

Zutul had along with the rest positioned himself at the table however he had choosed a location more remote to be a bit alone, gather his thoughts and to observe Medivh, his presence was as powerful as he had heard there was something about him that simply demanded respect at least that was what Zutul felt, theirfore he hadn't touched the food before Medivh said they were allowed to, he hadn't like the majority threw himself at the food but instead placed himself quietly and listened to Medivh there was no doubt that there was much to learn from this place, Zutul reached out and grapped a pair of apples that he began eating while his eyes began to slowly scan each of the other students sitting at the table, trying at best to determind what School they would apply too.

~At the Stables Dyon sighed softly~ Cass? ~She called out softly. she didnt know what or who was out in the Stables and she was going to be cautious. She walked around the stables untill she found her Frost Saber Harra.~ Hey there... have you seen Cass?

Cass smiled and looked out of the stalls the four horses were in. "Over here." She was rubbing them down and grooming them after the long journey. The horse she was working on stood quietly with it's eyes closed. The look on his face said 'Ooooh yeah.... Thats the ticket.'

Thustra, noticing the only other Human in the group sitting by himself, decided to walk over for introductions. Sitting down next to him, Thustra extended his arm in gesture to shake hands. "I am THustra Zoar of the Darkwater Guild, and you are...." He waited for a reaction from the Human.

Zutul slowly raised his head and looked Thustra in the eyes then shifted his eyes to his hand and then back to Thustra's eyes, before reaching out and grapped Thustra hand while not breaking eyecontact. "Zutul only Zutul"

"Glad to meet ya Zutul" Thustra said with a grin, shaking his hand. "Its nice to have others of your own kind around. The Elves like to chat in their language and, as you know, think they are superior. What is your school of magic?" He said inquisitively.

Zutul eyes shifted to the elves, he had never seen their race before and he could feel that he is some way was being drawn towards them, but a quick thought on Thustra's word about their view on other races brushed it away.

"Arcane, yours?

"I am A Warlock. I practice Fel magic" Thustra said, in hopes that this did not cause any disdain from his fellow human.

~Dyons cheeks turned slightly black as she looked to Cass.~ Oh. There you are. ~She made her way over and held out the plate of Fruit and bread~ I didnt know if you had anything to eat so I came out to give you some. Its all quite yummy.

=Rox stretched his arms up and then stood. He made his way back to Gorak and sat back down.=

I tell ya big guy those Night elf girls are complicated.

=The next part he spoke softly in an attempt for only he and gorak to hear.=

They seem sure of themselves however. The one who left seems more vunerable then the one still here. Both have great power, and I can not say who has the greater between use and them.... this might prove to be an interesting year by giant green friend.

Zutul nodded his head slowly, he knew very well what fel magic was, and yet the chances that it would become as dangerous to the caster as Arcane, potential could was smaller.

"You have gifts for using it ore you simply choosed to use it?"

Zutul looked back at Thustra, his voice completely empty of emotion.

Gorak chuckled and looked over at them

"yea it should prove interesting, even more so with those two oomies here"

=Rox nodded softly=

Yes. Even though I wish nothing to happen for we are all here for the same reason, I would feel safer with a few more of our own to be here incase things do begin to deteriorate between our two factions.

=He tapped his chin.=

However I suppose if something happens our host will be quick to stop it. As powerful as each of us are in our own right, I dout we can best him even as a group.

=Rox leaned over and grabbed a peice of food Gorak had yet to inhale and began to chew upon it.=

"It is part of me" Thustra replied. "My family was slain by the Burning Legions but, Bophomet saw something in me and spared my life. Why , I dont know but, he protects me. I can call on him at anytime. I am in the favor of Asmodeus, Suhail,Zamael and, Ba'all. I have had to do my share of their bidding, but the power is worth it. I lost Favor with Asher'nazer when I refused to sacrifice an innocent girl-child for him but, I have no totally been corrupt. Its power I seek, not the destruction of innocents.

Cass grinned and look the plate. "Thank you very much. It looks wonderful.... So what brings you out here? It couldnt have been just to give me this." She smiled and lifted herself up to sit on one of the horse's bare backs as she nibbled at the fruit.

~Dyon shrugged a bit, then nervously began to nibble on the nail of her forefinger.~ I dunno... I thought you might of been hungry. ~Her eyes looking to the side as she continued to bite her fingernail. Her other hand coming up to brush her hair behind one of her pointed ears. All her weight was on her left foot, her right one twisting back and forth on her toes.~ .... Oh! Your Welcome. ~Her face turned a bit dark.~ Sorry I forgot to say that! Some manners I have. ~Her gaze went down as she started to bite her nail again.~

Gorak slammed his fist down on the table causing most of the food to jump up.

"Neva Grab an Orcz food, unless youz got a death wish"

Val smiled and raised her brow. "Hmmm here we go.. I was wondering when this would start up."

Cass nodded and smiled. "It's alright. We cant be perfect. Dont worry about it." She smiled and tossed her a piece of bread. "Chew on this instead of those pretty nails. You never know when your gonna need to scratch someones eyes out."

~Dyons spar hand darted up to catch the bread, her eyes looking to Cass and widening some. She then looked to her nails. 'Pretty?' She felt her face turn dark again then tore a peice of the bread off and put it into her mouth chewing slowly.~

Cass grinned when she caught the bread. "Hey you're quick! Do you know how to fight?" She jumped down, setting the plate on the stall door. The horses glanced at them, watching the two with intelligent eyes.

~Chewing on another peice of bread Dyon nodded. She swallowed the food and half smiled~ I dont really enjoy fighting... but it calls for it sometimes... ~The shyness in her words was evidently greater. Was it in regards to her abilities? Or something else. Her ears then perked a bit.~ Why do you ask?

She shrugged and sat down on a bail of hay. "I just saw that skill level in your reaction time.... So hun what brings ya here?" She sat back and relaxed for once throughout the entire trip.

~Dyon looked up at Cass with her mouth full of the remaining bread. 'Hun?' She quickly gulped the mouthful down and then shrugged. Her right foot still twisting back and forth on her toes. Dyon then blinked a bit. Which here did she mean. Well she already asked why she came out here so she guessed Here in general.~ ... Well.. My old teacher perished in the great war. And since Malfurion was too busy with his own work I had no were else to turn for my training. But then I got the invite to this place and figured "Hey! This is my chance to finish my training." So I came here with Harra, and even though I didnt have anyone to talk to I still had a good time speaking to Harra himself. He didnt seem to mind. ~She put a finger to her chin~ At least I think he didnt. But then again... ~Her face turned very dark and she looked to Cass~ sorry.. I started to ramble...

She laughed and slapped her knee. "Oh goodness, you're cute. You're so self conciouse. I love it. You're fun!" She giggled and popped a piece of fruit in her mouth. "I'm sorry for your loss though."

~Dyons face completly flushed in embarasment. 'She just call me cute?' She brought her hand up to chew on her nail but stopped short remembering Cas saying she shouldnt. However as she brought her hand back down she began to chew on her bottom lip unconciously.~ Yes. Cenarious was a great teacher. ~she walked over to one of the horses and softly stroked her hand between his eyes. She stopped chewing on her lip and smiled softly to the horse. The horses own eyes seeming content to let this stranger pet him.~

She smiled and looked back at her. "Thats my boy. He's always been by my side. I love him to death." She sighed and looked her horse in the eye. "He knows good people when he sees them." She laughed and looked at the other 3. "They're just regular horses. Just bread to be ridden... Sad hun?"

~Dyon frowned softly. The one she was petting was Cass's, but what of the others? Did they have nice riders who spoke to them? Who cherished them? Or was Cass right when she said they were jsut Bread to be Ridden? The thought made her sadden even more. She sighed softly and casually walked over to sit beside Cass.~ Its so sad...

Gorak took alot of food off the table and onto his plate. What I ment was I took from the table what he didnt take himself. I didnt mean to insinuate I took it from his plate.))

Woa woa. Easy Big Green. I didnt take it from your plate or anything. This was one of the only peices in our section of the table you didnt claim for yourself.

Cass frowned and patted her back. "Aww it's ok. Don't worry. Their just some of Val's. It's nothing to be sad about."

Gorak grunted and put his hand back to his side

"Well be more careful next time"

Thustra, watching the Orc through a fit over food, spoke to Zutul "I see we are going to have our hands full with this one" he said grabbing some carrots before they were all gone. "Im going to see to my Steed. I look forward to our ventures ahead" Thustra nodded and stood up to walk to the stables.

As he walked in the stables,he saw the group of Elves chatting. He couldnt understand them but he didnt care he was there to give Sutyr a treat. "You guys already starting a Conspiracy" He said jokingly then turning his attention to his horse. "My Proud Sutyr, have they been treating you well" The Horse nodded his head and clapped his lips in excitement to see his master. Thustra walked in the stall and grabbed some grooming gear out of his saddle bags and began to brush his horse and best friend. Thustra reached out to handed Sutyr some carrots "Here you go my friend enjoy. Im going to give you a relaxing brush down. It was a long journey and your muscles must be sore" with that he continued to brush him with care.

=Rox chuckled a bit as he finished the peice of food off.=

Well, this is going to be fun.

~Dyon looked up at the human and frowned a bit looking away and to Cass.~ Thats the Human Val as speaking too. His magics are dark. ~She spoke to Cass in their own language so he could not understand.~

Cass nodded and narrowed her eyes at the human. "So I can see. His mount is as dark as his magic.... Watch." She frowned and changed her speech so he could over hear. "No one has the power of my father. His magic was so black, his skin turned as dark as a night with no moon. No one's power even measured up to his. And I'll prove anyone and everyone wrong if challenged." She nodded and sat back to wait.

Zutul just nodded when Thustra raised himself from the table, sure it had been nice talking to him, but not something that rocked his world, he glared over at the orc that seemed to have settled down yet again, he would have to remember in the comming future that the orc was easily provoced, Zutul reached up and rubbed his temples slowly, they had been here in less then a day and already conflicts and gatherings was emerging.

~The first thing to come to mind when Cass spoke that was Illidan Stormrage. The Currupted Night Elf. But she was just talking right? Surley her father wasnt really the Dark Betrayer?~

Gorak stood up and stretched his arms, he then looked back down at Rox

"Ows about we go check what everyones up to" he pointed in the direction that everyone had went

I assume they left to do their own thing. However I suppose it would be benificial to make nice for now so not to create a reason to ultimatly hate us.

=Rox then nodded and got to his feet, brushing his blue robes off of any crumbs.=

After you.

Gorak nodded and began to walk in the direction that the others went, he looked around and marvel at the great castle they were in on the way. Soon they mad eit to the stables where they saw part of the group that was at the table.

Thustra over heard Vals boasting about her father and laughed. "And Why did you feel the need to express that to me Little Elf?" He said sarcastically . "Am I supposed to fear you now? Do you have Demons at your beckon and call? I have Bophomet in my pocket." He said confident in his Fel Magic. "Are you challenging me?" after he said that he wished he hadn't. Thustra had no desire to harm the Pretty Elf, even if she was a smug and arrogant Highborn.
=Spoiled Elf= he thought.

Hun that was cass... Val is still eating. Cass is her servant.))

I had just woke up. Sorry Im a dumb Ass. :0 So its addressed to Cass. Ignore the Highborn spoiled stuff))

LOL np))

Cass grunted and reached up to give her horse a pat on the cheek. He had opened the stall door and was now standing there beside them in the doorway. Clever boy. "Was it directed to you? I was nearly speaking to my friend here. It's rude to eaves drop you know." She grinned and watched him quietly, her horse rubbing his nose in her hair and pulling on her brades.

~Dyon smiled softly at Cass's words, her eyes upon her and not the human. After a moment her eyes went to the horse then finally to the human.~ Was there something you needed of us since you interupted our conversation?

=Rox followed Gorak outside and noticed the two Night Elfs and the human. They seemed to be arguing. He nudged Gorak a bit with his elbow.=

Maybe we will be fortunate enough to have them take each other out?

Cass nodded. "Yes how could you be so rude?"

Thustra chuckled at the Immature Elf-lings. "Your comments were in common speak with raised voice. Are you telling me you did not mean For me to hear that? Little girls playing games"He just shook his head.

~Dyons eye twitched and she stood up.~ Little girl? ~The ground shifted ever so slightly in a circle around Thustra. A human wouldnt notice something so subtle but a Night Elf could spot the diffrence. So most likely Cass would notice.~

((and before you say he "feels" magic under him... nope. She is a Druid. And like a Shaman who Requests help from Elements, she is requesting help. so what ever is moving, is moving on its own and not because she "Makes" it.))

Cass grunted and pulled Dyon back down. "Sweetie, I'm older then your teacher was. Dont call me imature. I've seen men like you come and go. And they never last long." She smirked and crossed her arms.

~Dyons eyes widened as she was pulled back down beside Cass. She looked at her and calmed down some, letting out a soft sigh and then looking back to Thustra. However she remained silent.~

"Sweetie" He said ,using her words against her. "My Teacher is Bophomet a Melania old Demon. Don't bite of more than you can chew." He retorted, annoyed at her brazenness. "Hey lets just relax ok. We are here for a reason. There is no need for us to be enemies" Thustra said trying to defuse the little spatt. "Im sure Medvih has it in mind for us to work together. Forgive my intruding in your conversation. I will never impose my thoughts to you again" Thustra said with a smile.

Cass smiled and rolled her eyes. "My friend, I will never work beside someone with such a dark heart. I have seen the damage done to their enemies, and their friends. You may fool my master, but I prefer to keep my distance.... Until you make a mistake anyways." Her eyes hardened, her horses ears pricked as he sensed her agitation.

~Dyon placed a gentle hand lightly upon Cass's back~ I must side with my friend here. You are here for power. Those who seek power are corrupted by it. We have seen all to well how easily power corrupts. ~Dyon narrowed her eyes at the human and then they drifted over to the Orc and the Blood Elf. Dyon took hold of Cass's arm and nodded over to the two new spectators.~ Seems our human 'friend' here is not the only one who enjoys listening in on other peoples conversations.

Cass's piercing eyes drifted to the doorway. She snorted and pushed herself to her feet. "Seem's we'll have to continue this conversation later." She put her hand under her horse's chin, guiding him out of the stall and shutting it behind him so the others wouldnt get out. "Hope on Dyon."

~Dyon quickly stood up and made her way over to Cass and her horse. She wasnt used to horses since her Frost Saber always bent down to let her easily get on. But she still got on relativly easy none the less. Seeing as how there was no saddle she was a little afraid of ridding the horse. She wrapped her arms around Cass's waist tightly and hung on.~

Cass laughed and gave her horse a nudge, eyeing the human, the orc, and the blood elf as they rode out. "Dont worry. He wont let you fall. He's a good boy, and his steps are smooth." She reached back and put her hands on Dyons legs. "See, I dont need to use my hands. Squeeze with your legs."

~Dyons cloak was open since she was riding and her legs were bare. She blinked a bit as Cass placed her hands upon her legs. She could feel herself blushing again. She nodded a bit and squeezed with her legs. It gave her a bit more confidence in riding but she still kept her arms around Cass's waist just in case.~

She nodded and clicked to her horse with her tongue. He twitched his ears and stepped him walk up into a canter, skipping the trot and moving straight into the smooth lope. "Move with him. You'll find the rhythm and it will make it a lot more easier. Wanna try it on your own?"

~Dyon laughed a bit~ You tell me how to flow with a horse yet you forget I ride a Frost Saber that moves more in a single step than a horse does in a hop. As to trying it on my own i think ill pass. ~She smiled wide and released her grip on Cass and let go of the horse with her legs and leaned backwards to fall off the horse. As she fell her body twisted and turned into that of a giant Cat. She bounded forward, running up beside Cass and her horse, jumping beside them playfully~

Cass laughed and slowed her horse. "Look at you miss fancy! You're gonna have to teach me that perfect dissmount sometime." She reached down and gave her horse a pat on the shoulder.

=Rox arched a brow at the two women as they rode off. He then turned to Gorak.=

You really dont see that in the Night Elf community.... At least not obviously....

=He then looked to the Human and slowly walked over=

Blocked from the action? Or where they too much for you?

Dyon is a Druid and she turned into her Cat Form. she didnt get on Harra, her frost saber))

edit))

~Dyon bolted ahead of Cass then skidded as she turned and ran at her. Dyon jumped up high at her. In mid-air her form returned to normal and she caught Cass knocking her off her horse, both of them landing in a large area of soft moss.~

((there now its what you wanted. just.. I did it ))

Gorak just shrugged

"Well night elves are a strange people"

XD nice ))

Cass landed hard with a heavy grunt and looked quietly up at Dyon. "....Well Hello there. I like that dismount too but the one you did was a bit fancier." She laughed and put her arms behind her head. "Well this is comfy."

~Dyon laughed a bit~ Yeah well im pretty nimble. ~Dyons face turned dark as she relized she was still holding onto Cass and almost on top of her. Dyon rolled off and onto her back, putting her hands behind her head as well.~ Yeah. Its not so bad out here. ~Her cloak was open, exposing her entire body and what she wore.~

She laughed softly, canting her head to the side so she could look at her. "For a druid your pretty skimpy."

~Dyon smirked as she rolled onto her side to face Cass~ Well running around in my Cat form burns alot of calories. ~She set her elbow into the ground and set her head upon her hand.~ Besides are you making fun of the way I look?

(arg, shes not gonna be back on till the morning. So we have to wait to saee how long till this turns into some hot girl on girl )

I cant get into that man. Not when one of them is my sister.))

=Rox nodded his head in agreement to Goraks comment then looked back to the Human=

(lol i'm actually not a fan of it for real. I don't like to share)

Gorak looked forward at the human and began to chuckle

"well well, now looks like its just two orde and one puny oomie. O what to do"
