Snippet #841841

The day was clear and warm with a slight breeze. The clouds moved lazily across the sky occasionally giving an overcast shade over parts of the town. Some leaves blew in the cool breeze and passed by people as they walked. The Mage District, the housing area for students of magic and members of the magic guild. It's nothing but apartments identical to each other. Five stories high, a tan colored stone to make the outer walls, windows dotting the walls in even spaced areas between them. The odd circular pointed roofs commonly found in the district topped them all. Between some were specialty shops that weren't uniform to the apartments, or any other common architecture for that matter, twisted roofs and decorations on the outside, odd color schemes and themes to the outside of the shop made the outside just as odd as the items that could be bought in them. A large hill with a cobblestone road connected one particular apartment to other shops.

The road was unusually empty for the time of day only the light tapping of a single pair of boots could be heard breaking the silence. Nyx walked casually down the path holding two purple books with silver metal decorated spines in her hands in front of her. She metal on the spin and some of the gems in her earrings and other garments shone and reflected the light of the sun occasionally in little flashes. She started to hum a little tune and smile to herself as she walked.

"It's a beautiful day, and getting my pay from the castle just now was a nice way to start it off, I wonder if I'll be getting any new assignments soon," she thought as she walked. She turned a corner onto a different road at the end of the road a large building with four large towers at each corner. The main section was only two stories but the towers were all five stories high, and although not seen each tower has two basement levels, and the main section of the building has a single basement level. The building was made of a gray stone with black pitched roofing and a crystal at the point of each tower.

Nyx started to walk towards the building and stopped just before entering the gates to look up. the sky was still clear for the most part with only a few white fluffy clouds, she took in a deep breath and smiled again. "Ah it looks like rain.... haha hopefully nothing too bad," she said aloud and started to walk in the gates. She entered the build, the first room of the main section was a large reception area, directly across from the door had a desk with a girl behind it, a few tables and chairs dotted the room. In the right side of the room were three steal doors that were enchanted to rise up whenever someone came near. One door had a sign that said physician, the other two weren't labeled. The other side of the room had two identical doors, one said B1 on it and the other two were also not labeled.

Nyx walked up to the receptionist and started to have an idle chat with her about the assignment she had just gotten paid for. "Yes! They gave me two of the Shadow Master series, this will help with all areas of magic I'm studying," she said as the conversation continued. After a short while she bid good bye and when to the unmarked door on the right side of the room and that led to a small room that had a door to its instant left labeled 'Head Master' and another that was again unlabeled. She walked passed the unlabeled door and it led to some stairs. When she reached the end she was in one of the towers. She took a left and walked to the top of the tower, the different levels were connected by a spiral staircase with a thinner tower actually on the inside that had a class room inside on each level. She entered the room and started a lecture on the class she had that day. After an two hours the class was over and she left.

She brought her books to her apartment it was on the fourth floor of a building and she has a room on the corner of the building. The inside of her room was decorated mainly in a color scheme of purples, grays, and blacks. her walls were black and the ceiling was gray. The floor was a hardwood that was a deep brown a large glass door lead to a balcony, in front of the door are purple slightly see-through curtains. her bed in the far left corner of the room had purple sheets and a gray pillow. A desk in the right side of the room was a dark brown identical to the floor, on it was a candle partially melted and a skull as well as a pencil and some paper. Above the desk were two shelves that had books and little trinkets on them. Nyx put the books on the shelf and sighed. She looked out to her balcony and could see sudden gray clouds moving in. she grabbed a dark purple umbrella and left again.

She walked holding her umbrella closed for the moment. The wind has picked up and made her dress ruffle slightly. She was making her way to the castle. In part of the castle that could be reached by the public, without letting citizens walk through the castle, was a small office that held the information on odd jobs available for guild members that could be done if the knights were too busy, the task was considered not worth the time, or if the knights needed help. This was how Nyx got most of her missions if she wasn't assigned one by the mage guild leader or requested by the knights to assist on large scale missions.

As she got closer to the castle she saw more and more knights she was acquainted with. Some waved others didn't recognize her or were too busy to notice. The rain started to come at a steady pace suddenly, she chuckled and opened her umbrella and continued walking. She finally made it into the office in the castle and closed her umbrella, she had gotten slightly damp but fared much better than a deal of the people rushing in from the rain. She smiled to herself and went to a bulletin board for mage guild members and started to read it over. "Let's see hereeeee.... anything of interest?" she asked herself as she read the posted messages.
