IA: A Teacher for Laynie

[Rystil Arden]

*It has two words written in some of the scripted lettering that Vanitri has seen around Medibaria, but this time without an accompanying translation. The letters aren't incredibly different from the more common Orrusian ones, and Vanitri thinks if he spent some time at it, he could probably read it, though it might not make any sense if it is in Old Medibarian.*

 

[Bront]

Vanitri tucks the book away and they continue on to the accademy.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hey, what did it say, Mr. Vanitri?" Laynie asks as they rejoin Mearran and continue onward.

 

[Bront]

"Not sure, but it's in an older language. Looks like it could be interesting though."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, what language is it? The cover looked pretty, but not as pretty as the shiny stones in there too. But I still like books because you can read them, and you can't read shiny stones, you know?"

*They continue onward, and eventually, they see a huge building complex, towering over the rest of the ruins like a fortress among the rubble, and in some ways, it is a fortress. Almost completely intact despite signs of great age, the Academy is composed of a main castle-like complex in the centre and four tall towers topped with spires, each looking like a stereotypical Wizard's Tower that children would read about in storybooks, one on each corner. Strange wisps of glowing coloured light flit about around the building, and there appears to be a large stable and gardens located on the far side of the Academy from the entrance, which Vanitri spots just ahead.*

 

[Bront]

"Yup, tell you what, we can see if we can figure out what it says togeather later, ok?"

"Looks like we're here," Vanitri says, as he approaches the entrance.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That's a big place! It doesn't look like a school, silly--I think that's a castle where a king and a princess live. Is it?"

 

[Bront]

"No, it sure looks like the great Accademy we've heard about. Perhaps it once was a king's castle, or perhaps it's members once lived like kings. I'm sure we'll learn more as we enter."

As they approach the entrance, Vanitri look around for someone, perhaps an information desk or something.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*A wide ancient road, once well-traveled, leads directly to the entrance, a set of huge double doors inlaid with mystic symbols and engraved with bas relief scenes all over. Thick metal rings on the front are apparently used to open the door, but they seem far too large and heavy to be easily opened.*

 

[Bront]

Vanitri knocks at the door, "Hello there!"
