[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 3754264, member: 37250"] Conuld slumps in the saddle as the oppressive atmosphere of the dead city weighs on him. [I]Don't be stupid, boy.[/I] I'm not a boy, I'm seven and twenty! [I]Then act like it! Give up those stupid dreams. I don't care what nonsense Drossford has put in your head. You have a good place here. [/I] It's been ten years, Baland! I cannot stay here forever, getting as dusty as... as your books. [I]You were going to say 'as me', weren't you, Conuld?[/I] What if I were? I've mastered more magic in a few months than you have in your whole life. [I]And what good will it do you if you get yourself killed by some orc or goblin or worse? You're a scholar, like me, or will be one day, if you keep at it. Adventuring is for those ninnyhammer wizards from the Academy in Medibaria, not for the likes of you.[/I] No, no, I need more than this life. [I]More? You ungrateful- I gave you more when I promised your father I'd take you in. If it weren't for me, you'd be milking cows and shovelling dung, with the rest of your family![/I] That's it, isn't it? You mean my sort aren't good enough for the Academy, aren't even good enough to be wizards. I'm just a peasant boy, a little smarter than most, living on your charity, an unpaid drudge to do the repetitive dull research while you report the findings to the sages' guild. I'm finished, Baland. I'm leaving tonight. Don't expect to see me again. [I]Conuld! Conuld![/I] With effort, Conuld lifts his head, and grits his teeth. "Is that it?" he asks the city. "Is that all you can throw at me? An argument with an old man?" He spurs his horse forward. [/QUOTE]
