Setting

The second magical academy along the ocean route, Celestia is a beautiful and positively radiant edifice. Positioned on the easternmost shore of a large lake that stretches southwards towards the distant Academia Everia, Celestia seems a beacon of light, intricately carved and decorated white spires, golden balconies and towering walls an impressive sight to behold.

Celestia is home to all kinds of mages, from elemental sorcerers to wand-wielding wizards and witches. Almost anything magic-based can be learned or studied here, when enrolled, and the libraries are partially open to the public.

The Headmistress, Scarlet Dae is an incredibly powerful mage with a lot of experience for her young years. She keeps a tight ship. The Academy has survived a lot through its involvement in the Orsa of Terminus wars, from sieges to possession by demonic mist, but still stands firm - if scarred.

The Academy is laid out with a ring of thick, sturdy outer walls that bound it on all sides, containing its grounds. A single road leads to a large solid metal gate providing the only access to it. The grounds consist of a large lightly wooded area around a miniature lake, dotted with buildings of varying size. These buildings include the library archives on the road just in front of the main building, the student halls of residence behind it, and the newly constructed barracks near the walls themselves.

The Academy's main building is an impressive edifice, beautiful architecture forming a massive structure with two towers that reach toward the sky proudly, despite having been destroyed twice. One of the towers is a clock-tower complete with a bell, the other merely a spire. It sits a five minute walk from the gate down a short cobbled road. The courtyard in front of the Academy serves as the break-area for students, whilst the combat training area is immediately behind the building.

Watching as the group gladly interacted with his temporary enemy, Domakeo had finally come to the realisation of the large-hatted man's true role in this area. He was merely a teacher, an individual who lived to pass his vast knowledge onto the younger ones for them to learn and develop themselves; it was means to increase an understanding of any subject exponentially. That's not all, as a Shaki'lyu, Domakeo had been raised as nobility, but also as one in touch with the culture of the common people. With one of the main parts of the culture being a high respect for those who teach, those who spend their life enlightening others.

And so, once the other students had finished approaching the man, Domakeo raised to his feet and wondered over to him. Of course, an expression of annoyance was spread across his face as he did so, growing even more sour once he had finally filed a request. "Since you're offering. I'd like to gain your assistance in gaining control over my node." He started off, giving a small Shaki'lyu bow (a nod of the head and a small tap on his chest). "But I'd mostly like to develop my own technique, as an irregular. I need to prove that I am one."

Before any of the other students could rise to the challenge of asking questions and receiving the kind of education that the art of the arcane and strange provided, Domakeo , the young lad who thought he could win that fated fight stood and asked his own questions. Domakeo brought a smile to the old codgers face, so much so that Bigsby removed his massive hat and placed it to the side.

"Your asking me to provide assistance in such a way?" Bigsby crossed his arms and looked over the strange jewel that adorned the young man's outfit. "Strange that you would ask someone as lowly as myself." Bigsby began to chuckle as he looked the young man right in the eyes. "Even a starving dactyl would turn it's nose away from you.' I believe those are the words you used to describe how lowly this old man is."

Bigsby kept his crystal blue gaze locked upon the warrior before him only to shake his head slightly. "I would not spurn another who is seeking knowledge. However, I must know something, are you willing to take on such a grand task? Many before you have tried to meet my expectations only to fail and be lost." The old man was serious but this bit of information was more directed towards Aebbe than anything. He wanted all of the students to know that failure was a possibility in the realms they now stood and wished for this to be understood.

"I'm sure that with my understanding and expertise your skills will improve. But for right now lets see if the others have any questions of their own. The arcane is full of mystery and plenty of wrong notions due to years of falsehoods." Bigsby quickly took up his hat only to produce a single apple and lightly tossed it towards the young warrior.

"Now have a snack and let class continue." Bigsby chuckled once more as he placed his massive hat back atop his head only to then turn to the others. "So any questions?"

Aebbe arrived back but the person had gotten lost in the undergrowth. Normally she would care, but in this matter, she was just tired and just wanted to go back to learning. Thus, when she heard the question the young mage gripping shaft of her staff while listening to be sure she did not miss anything. Of course, being asked she immediately said, "Being you are feeling so courteous with knowledge and wisdom Mr Hoarecruxes I have a big question please... and one I wondered for a long time... If you know what I am capable of magically why do you teach me? Surely, it can't just be a favour to my parents otherwise my tardiness at times would have grated on you. Thus, I must ask with all respect one can muster, what is your reason? I just want to know because I want to make you proud Master and live up to whatever you envision for me."

The old man simply turned to Aebbe and frowned at her question. What seemed obvious to him had apparently not been so for her and it was with that Bigsby simply pushed himself up from his seat and looked down upon the girl.

"All things within this universe, this multiverse, and within ourselves is not for one person to judge or act upon with any kind of haste. Your destiny is not written in stone, nor is it bare before the entire world to see and read, so how can I truly know what you are capable of?" Bigsby proposed his own question to the young girl whilst reaching for his staff so that he may not need stand without something to support himself.

"Aebbe, your talented, but it is not for me to say what you do with those talents when you are old enough to make your own decisions." Bigsby frowned a bit more and took a deep breath. "I took you in simply because I was asked to and that the progress your making being under my wing is astounding. Keeping up your s tudies and getting a real world feel is what most young people need anyway."

Alam looked over Academia Celestia and raised an eyebrow. A university for mages was not a bad idea of course, but it was also a breeding ground for potential opponents. The headmistress could have been a concern, but he had done his research and she hadn't been heard from in some time. Worse yet, as far as he was concerned, was that their library was extensive. There was a good possibility that somewhere in the library was information on the ritual that had bound him last time.

It was bad enough that one of his sons and Matu remained free. The two together knew all parts of the ritual and would be able to recruit powerful people to stop him. Matu had always been terribly charismatic. The mage strode through the shining gates of the golden school, and prowled down the main road and to the library, his power radiated from him and he smiled, pleased.

The late afternoon sun hung in the sky as he fond the library. It would be a shame to lose the information therein, but it was necessary. He looked the building over, and admired the glow of it in his mage sight. It was well warded, especially against fire. However the wards were old, in need of renewal.

A pleased smile on his face, he held out his hand, grasped the lines of the wards tightly in his fist, and pulled, shattering them neatly, in a flash of blinding light. Wards could be overpowered.

Alam Shalafi was powerful enough to pull down most wards.

A strong gust of wind kicked up some dust into Alam's face, hopefully disrupting his efforts to tear down the magical enhancements of the buttressed walls before him.

"State your business, mage. Wards can be easily restored, the walls themselves less so, but the lives residing within cannot be replaced. Should you come at us with ill intent, I shall be forced to meet you on the fields of honor." The proud female voice, carrying the arrogant accent of the elves, came down from the fortification, her silhouette backlit by the late afternoon sun to further distract and hamper Alam.

"Dare you challenge one who calls the wind, the rain and the clouds her allies? If so, name a time and place for our duel. If not, repent and turn back. The choice is yours."

A water pipe broke and vented steam as a ward snapped away from it. And it was so refreshing too! The steam floated downwards to the ground and soon formed what should have been a massive hurricane formation of clouds high in the air but was instead about three inches off the ground and about three meters round. lighting sparked like a natural hurricane would have along with soft thunder as a voice spoke up "Alright, what woke me up from a good nap ?"

As the words were spoken the cloud formation began to build up its middle, within a heartbeat feet were spotted which were attatched to a robed pair of legs of pale blue and dark white and a few heartbeats later the clouds were gone and a woman with long white hair and apparently blind eyes was blinking staring at..... well what had to be a stopsign behind Alam.

It was a bad habit Kiriko had picked up as a child and never could break, because she was born with diamond white clearly blind eyes but able to see perfectly clear people gave her added respect ontop of other things. The only other perspon who knew she wasnt really blind was her adopted mother who was long dead.

The winds were easy enough to stop and the wards broke entirely. Alam looked to the two opponents and smiled, amused. "My business?" Cute. And elf maiden trying to be tough. He looked her over, eyes lit from behind with mage's sight. Magically powerful enough. Her and this other woman who spoke up. Weather mages, the both, it seemed. That could be fun.

"The least of my business is the destruction of this library. Then, perhaps, the destruction or take over of this school." He glanced around and then motioned to the area around them, and smiled. "You're students have already fled. Your headmistress has not been seen in months. Stand down, and I won't hurt either of you." It was a generous offer. It was also the only offer they were going to get.

"If you don't stand down, well. Rain and clouds are well and good, but a clever man can stand against the forces of nature with ease." He drew a circle in the air with his hand and a mandala made of white hot fire three feet in diameter appeared. Like a discus, he threw the mandala, an intricate lion on the discus of fire to the library, interested more in their reaction to his magic than in actually succeeding.

Great, first I get woken rudely then set on fire, what next, electrocuted ? Kiriko thought as the discus of a sort flew right at her, then directly threw her, causing her stomach to briefly turn to mist and then reform as the discus of magic slammed into the library wall, scoring a large mark and breaking a few windows. "Rain and clouds are one thing" Kiriko said simply as a sword appeared in her hand, its blade seemingly afire with burning water. But firewater is quite another.

She flicked her sword at Alam, the fire flung off the blade leaving a untarnished weapon in her hands as a rod made of fire and water flew at the guy followed by a grinding noise underfoot as the ground started to shake as one of her hands were held towards the ground. Waterpipes broke underfoot and mud began to make itself known under Alams feet

She wasnt the master of the Five Rings for nothing!

Nikki let out a soft sigh. Given how easily that wind was dispelled, she was more than a little worried about how she would fare in a one on one match, especially seeing that the powerful wards were taken down in so little time. She sent a message via whispering wind to anyone still in the Academy: We are under attack. Move all valuables out of the library and get any students not trained in combat to safety. Anyone else, squad up. Even the Headmistress would be loath to take this guy by herself.

"Swordmistress! Together we will be more than a match for this madman! Allow me to lend you my aid!" Coordination was necessary in any successful boss fight, after all.

Image Alam raised an eyebrow and quick stepped to the left, easily dodging the liquid fire. A cute attack, but very one dimensional. Still, it looked like some sort of plasma. Perhaps the original liquid fire would do in response, to show her how it was done. With his hand held at chest level, he flicked hand and arm alike out, like he was tossing a rope. Above, there formed an intricate thick lined mandala of a crouching tiger made of nothing less than lava. The lava fell rapidly to the entire, catching a portion of the library as well. He had not been far from it when he attacked after all, and the mandala was easily 60 feet in diameter. The ground where it fell was scored deeply, and the lava remained as hot as it had been from when it came from the earth. The glow from it was intense.

His face lit be the lava, he took half a second to admire the dangerously beautiful lava fall on the library as it burned and melted the bricks, only adding to it's bulk.

Mud and groundshaking. All cute tactics he had seen many times before, and given his low stance, one he was well equipped to handle.

Kiriko grumbled something and raised her hand, the ground broke apart under Alam's feet as water and steam flew in a cyclone at the burning library walls around Nikki from a busted water main. "First you wake me up rudely, then you burn my sleeping place." Kiriko wasnt happy.

She smiled however hearing the words of the other defender, Raising her sword towards Alam in a ready stance she spoke, her words carried on the wind for Nikki to hear clearly "Agreed, devide and conquor ?" With Nikki being a wind mage, their words could only be heard by each other

With that she shifted, slightly, what had to at once point been beautiful armor of strange make but over the ages become rusted yet amazingly still usible and workable. It started with her skin, shifting to metal, then her clothing fading away to reveal the rusted armor underneath, but with each movement of her body it flowed as if it were her.

The liquid fire sprang along her sword blade a second time as she advanced on Alam. As she moved a helmet in all its rusted out glory formed on her face as she stepped towards Alam through the lava. Licks of magical flame biting at her clothing, bathing her rusted out armor in a unearthly light, sword at the ready

Nikki cursed in Elvish at Kiriko's ham-handed approach. Plus, that was a LOT of lava. A water cyclone was just as likely to fling it everywhere as it was to put out the fires on the rampart. Her job was to limit collateral damage and protect the academy while Kiriko focused on the battle. Spreading her legs and assuming a horse stance, Nikki lifted her arms to the sky. She was better at moving weather than earth, but covering up the lava was the best move here to limit the spread of destruction in less time.

"Dammit, it's not working." Alam's spells were too powerful for her to unravel, plus as a conjuration effect the lava was already here...dispelling wouldn't do her any good here. But there was one thing she could do. Commanding the water from the burst pipe and mixing it with the nearby topsoil from the gardens, Nikki was able to make a sort of clay to cover the massive conflagration and hopefully even move Alam into stabby range through the power of moving the earth under his feet. Either he would be forced to take to the sky and be subject to the winds of the cyclone, or he'd be drawn into a range too close for comfort.

Use your sword, mistress. I will do what I can to mitigate the damage his spells do, but he cannot hope to stand against you in close quarters.

Alam carefully rebalanced and took in what he had done to the library. The lava, even with their attempts to put it out, had managed to gut a good chunk of the building, and what was left was burning beautifully. That many books would require a much more directed stream to put them out than slinging water about haphazardly. While taking over the school would have been nice, it was low priority in the grand scheme of things. Still, the library destroyed would make it difficult for the mages to learn here, and he was reasonably certain no one had died. That would please Matu, when she heard the news. She always did care about the lives of those less than her.

The clay mixture was inconvenient, but it was the work of a thought and magic to be standing on top of it, anchored to the more solid ground underneath. Bored of these two defenders, he ended it. Unfortunately, Matu was sure to be disappointed with him for this one, but they had attacked him, after all, and that certainly changed the rules of engagement.

He held up his hand to his lip, formed a loose β€˜o’ with his fingers and breathed. A billowing yellow-brown cloud flowed from his hand, heavy in his magic, held down by his will, unmoving in the wind. It smelled of mustard, perhaps with a hint of horseradish, and it flowed over the battlefield, forming a dense cloud easily seven feet high, and 40 feet wide. Those exposed to it would find it hard to breath as blisters would rapidly form in their lungs, the beginnings of them on their skin making movement painful within minutes. The blisters in the lungs though would take all of thirty seconds to take effect.

It was a deadly attack, that lingered, causing chemical burns hours after it’s victims assumed they had washed it away. He had heard of a modern version of his attack, or more modern at least. They called it Mustard Gas, a cute term for an ancient, yet once forgotten attack.

No.

No.

This couldn't be. Nikki had to risk shouting it out loud.

"Get out of there! It's poison!"

The weather witch had to end it now. And maybe, just maybe, she had a way to do it. The lava under her hastily made earth cap was still seething and bubbling under the earthen equivalent of thin ice. Gesturing powerfully upward, Nikki took advantage of the fact that she forgot to put a vent on top of the wet clay to create a massive steam eruption, blowing the cap off in the explosion. Up on the ramparts she was afforded a modest amount of protection, but Kiriko and Alam wouldn't be so lucky as the 60-foot pool of lava was exposed once more.

Perhaps the pressure wave would cause the mustard gas to spread farther than intended. But this bastard needed to die.

Wait... what ? Poison ?!

"Ack!!"

Now she was blinded for real. Her eyes burned, her lungs throbbed for air that continued to burn her throat and eyes. Blindly she stumbled, albiet briefly backwards, blinking rapidly as her eyes turned tpo m,ist, anything to kill the burning blinding fire of the poison she'd gotten full brunt into her face.

Kiriko stumbled backwards right into the gyser that Nikki had formed, Old Faithful indeed helped... a little bit.

Fire with fire eye ? OK, she Kiriko could do that indeed! Using the steam she redirected it directly at Alam with one hand while the other went to her mouth as she coughed madly to get the pison out of her lunges which burned as if on fire. Kirikoo blasted the steam at wave of poison gas. her eyes barely able to focus fro mthe burning feeling she saw six of Alam before her, and spread the arc of the steam wide to try and encompass the guy in her steam wave.

But now she really couldnt see a thing, her eyes burned as if on fire.

Between the steam and his poisonous cloud, Alam was well hidden. With a chuckle, he dodged the poorly aimed geyser and the more directed wave from Kiriko. Hm, that was much worse aim than she had previously shown. He hadn't expected that. Still, one last distraction should keep his back safe, assuming the girl in the sky could see to attack, and he quietly drew his pal open, facing away from him, across his chest. Immediately, six copies appeared.

All seven Alam's took off, running out. The real Alam headed for the exit, of course, but the others mirrored his moves, seven prongs all identical as they moved as if around the center of a circle, each equidistant from the others as they moved out.

He considered this an excellent success, and no doubt the reports of the gas would only add to the fear others may have of him. He'd have to build that up again, it seemed. Even rumors of his existence had faded, and that wouldn't do.

The library was gone, her defenses failed. Had she failed ? Doubtful to be sure. Blinded by strange poison, Kiriko cxoulddnt see anything, but she could hear clearly. Her body was raveged by the strange poison magic gas. Forcing her to turn part of her bosdy into mist tainted with strange micture of yellow and gray. Her eyes were closed.

She heard someone nearby. She forced her magic to contain the poison, forcing it to dispell or something as smoke filtered up from the ruins of the library as she sat against a broken tree. Her milky white eyes opened, still unable to see she spoke, recognising the scent almost instantly. "Anko ?... Is that you ?"

The smell of Cherry Blossoms and Desert Wind wafted through the area as a light breeze carried it in. Standing suddenly where she had not been before was Anko. Long had she been gone, from this place, long had she been apart from Kiriko yet she smiled softly when she heard Kiriko call her name. Like she had never been forgotten.

"Yes, my old friend, I am here. I have been dreaming, all this time" Anko said softly, walking slowly toward Kiriko's misty form "I have seen terrible things. The Saiken, it would seem, does not wish to slumber anymore" She said taking Kiriko's hand "But my friend, what has happened here and who has made you so sick?" She asked in a worried tone.

Kiriko's grip was strong as Anko took her hand, strong as it had ever been. Yet, why was her normally beautiful white mist tainted with pale green and burning yellow ? Her eyes burned, syhe had tried turning them to mist to clear them, but she could barely breath unless the stuff was purged from her lungs. Her sightlessd eyes looked towards the smoldering ruins. "A man came, he burned this place..... He used magic so vile, my own abilities were unable to defend against it" She had never gone against mustard gas, she had no clue what it even was!

This man had to be something akin to those they had faced over time. If the Saiken were back.... It was Ankos touch howeve that she either needed or her body required, Because all of a sudden she could see clearly. And the first thing she saw was Anko's concerned face.

Anko smiled softly "It doesn't seem to be life threatening, at least I hope not my friend" she said letting go of Kiriko's hand and producing a small basket. She reached in and pulled out a Tea Pot and two glasses. She sat on of them next to her friend. "Jade Blossom Tea?" she offered "It is good for recovery and peace of mind" she said softly pouring tea into both cups.

"This news you tell me, this man...... It troubles me greatly" She said taking a sip from her tea "This was a place of learning was it not? It seems an awfully personal action" She pondered "Tell me my friend have you many enemies these days?"

Anko was sad, her years of slumber had forced her to miss many things. Many of her friends were now dead and her clan....... It was all but extinct. It was herself and three others and the Saiken. At least the sword had not fallen into ill hands while she slumbered. Still if she had been there, she may have been able to help.

"Nature has many enemies my friend" Kiriko said simply, with Anko there she could relax, the idea of the jade tea made her smile. She detailed the fight, and what the man looked like "I fear he may try to ruin other locations as well But I am in no shape to seek him out to face him"

She nodded "It was a library; I had help but I cannot find the other that aided me. She called me a swordmisteress" Now what the hell did THAT mean ? She smiled anew "The poison burns my lungs, it had burned my eyes until you came I thought I could never see. But your touch cleared my sight. But my lungs burn when I try to breathe"

A figure with bright red hair set against armor of black and burnished silver walked calmly up to the gate. Her pairs of backward-facing bright red horns told of her lineage if not of the cobalt blue round eyes set in a pool of molten stone. Right arm clad in a thick gauntlet from shoulder to hand it flared occasionally along its surface to curl around her red hair. Momentary embers of fire colored dark maroon loosing more flakes into a shower of ephemeral ash from her armor. Those with an arcane eye coudl tell it was a weapon made by some non-draconic creature larger than herself though it reeked an aura of its psionic nature. Some other writhing part of her her nature much like that aura kept her mind level and her voice firm unlike many fiery souls with such lineage her ire was controlled. She sniffed at the air then raised a bladed red-scaled tail curling from behind her to keep it from touching the ground.

She scowled at the ruined library and withered grounds. The strong voice of a warrior was something one could feel scowl when they were displeased, "I walk all this way and the power's a burnt out husk. What daemonkind have these mages unleashed. I suppose I'm in the the right place for learning then. I hope there's something left I can learn out of or at least something I can tear a new abyss into."

There was as square metal-clad book two palms wide swinging at her hip that she removed. It unlocked with a click of its own as she looked at the building slowly drawing her fingers across the page. The drawing taking place underneath of the building itself was something more elegant. As she worked the metal rose across her throat gleamed with soft light.

#, as written by Marcus
The academia had been burnt by something fierce and its halls silent only except for the occasional breeze and idle pitter-patter of vermin in search for a meal or a place of refuge. It was only when the young woman ascended the stairs of Celestia's grounds would a lone figure of a tall robed man standing before her. His finery was of browns and darker colors that seemed to swirl or change at a glimpse, whilst his face seemed hidden under a mammoth sized wizarding cap his eyes glowed like a pair of ominous blue orbs which took upon the role of his eyes. In his left gnarled hand was a staff which he clenched tightly and it only seemed to match his height.

"Magic can be a dangerous thing when not properly handled." The robed figure piped up only to remain in the spot he stood upon her arrival. "Academia Celestia, a twin school if you would, housed some of the most acutest minds and willfully ignorant souls that thought they could master the fine arts and handle its lore."

The old wizard continued to look upon the newcomer only to raise his hand towards them. His staff began to glow slightly only to dissipate like ash being blown away from a doused fire. "I presume you had come here to learn? Those things you carry obviously are enchanted and work on a higher principle than most. Most students start from nothing more than a dream and the understanding of what is to come, yet I imagine you already know much of your own."
