[QUOTE="Graybeard, post: 5738438, member: 21705"] [SIZE="3"]Miranda[/SIZE] Miranda lay on her bed after stashing her meager belongings away in her room. Some of the others had gone down to the local tavern to celebrate their victory today. She didn't really feel like celebrating. She was tired from the events of the day. It wasn't the most comfortable bed she had ever slept on but it wasn't the worst either. As she lay there, she felt the familiar pull of sleep on her consciousness. She let herself be pulled to sleep since she was quite tired after the events of the day. She still wasn't sure where her life was going. Part of her wanted to go back to her former, simpler life. A life of serving customers in her family's inn. A life where she would likely have been married by now or nearly married at least. The other part of her was eager to see what her new life would bring. Wanted to see all that she could, learn all that she could, and experience adventure and excitement. She had expressed these thoughts to her mentor on several occasions. Her mentor would never tell her what to do, only to follow her heart and do what she felt was the right thing. As she started to drift off to sleep, familiar and yet strange images flooded her head. They were nearly exactly the same as the dreams she had been having since she became sick 2 years ago. Images of battles with blasts of flame, ice, and acid flying about. Armored men with large swords fighting strange beasts. The one constant image in all her dreams was that of a dragon flying above the battle. The image of the dragon was always a little unclear. The coloring was light, possibly white or even silver. She wasn't sure how long she lay there sleeping and dreaming. When she woke, she was almost as tired as she had been when she lay down. Sliding off the bed, she ran a brush through her hair and straightened her clothing. She might as well head down to the tavern and join Olek and the others. She still didn't feel like celebrating but perhaps a drink or two would make her feel better. She slipped through the door of the tavern just as Olek was questioning his reasons for being at the Academy. "Gentlemen, I fear I have made a mistake in coming to this academy and have thrown a good life away back home. You see, I do not know what I seek. Only that I could not find it at home. Tell me, if you can, what do you seek here? Maybe I can find some reason beyond being irresponsible for myself in your reasons." This made Miranda stop and stare at the Dwarf. She had not expected to hear doubts from the boastful warrior. Perhaps there was more to him than first impression. She quietly slipped up to the bar and ordered a light ale and paid the barkeep. Trying to stay relatively unnoticed, she slipped her way over to where Olek and the others were drinking. [COLOR="DarkRed"]Hello Olek, sorry I am late in arriving.
