: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "This game has no classes of such, but if she can play she might have fun, we would have to set the child protection lock on, depending on her age"
: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : As for us I'll let you take care of the banking and I'll go find us some rooms for the night. We can meet at the tavern over there for lunch after we're done and then go see the mage so we can start learning our spells."

: : : : : : : : Alex
: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : "Got it, here take this with you" he gave him a small bag of gold before riding "Go to a mediocre inn, lets not gather too much attention" he said as he rode off to a large stone building with some goildcoin marks on it, it also had writing on a tablet which said 'Burmaville banking' Alex would see an inn not far from the bank.

: : : : : : IC: Alex took the bag of gold from him, "Katelyn is 18 and if she heard you talk about child a protection lockd, well you're life would be in danger," Alex joked. Then turning serious he said, "I'll try to find something near the bank." He then pointed to a tavern about half a block away from them that had a faded picture of a hawk diving, "Why don't we meet there in two hours, by then we will should have both accomplished our missions.

: : : "I'll only need about 10-20 minutes, be right back." Peter walked away and entered the bank.

: : : ---------(Lets do the time warp agaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnn)----------
: : :
: : : After about 25 minutes Peter met Alex inside the tavern he was joined by and elderly gentleman wearing a large rope, a big had carrying a stave and sporting quite a long beard, Peter was smiling cockily, he no longer had the big baag of gold and he was waring a brown traveling cloak, he also held a dark cloth which surrounded an object.
: : : Peter handed the cloth to Alex "Enjoy" he said sitting down, the elderly man sitting next to him "This is Fáfnir, local wizard, became a full wizard just under fifty years ago" he said in a conversasional tone "He says that he'll give us the basic magical training, in exchange we talk to a friend of his for some safe escort to Pentagon city not far from here"
: : :
: : : "Oh, open it" he said smiling. The cloth was actually a traveling cloak but inside it was a Katana, it was the regular length of the sword and it was in a sheath "That cost a pretty penny so hold on to it". it was then that the wizard spoke, his accent was your basic oxford professor "I do hope that your intentions aren't to babble of my valuable time, are you?"
: : :
: : : Peter
: :
: : Alex did open the package, the katana was very well made, he could tell that before he even pulled it from its scabbard. When he did pull it out he was even more impressed. He put the sword on his back and then turned to the wizard, "We would not dream of wasting your time sir. and we are quite willing to agree to your request. I think we have what I like to call a win win situation. Everyone benefits."
: :
: : Alex
:
: "Follow me then gentlemen" The elderly man said before walking towards the back door "Charles, I'll need to use the back again" He told the barman and exited the tavern.
: Peter gave Alex a shrug and followed the man.
: Once outside the man, in an incredible fast movement far beyond what a man his age should be able to do. He put his hands on both Alex and Peter's chest, neither man could move like they were being held by an extremely accurate force-field "What the hell are you doing" Peter said, calmly but with anger in his voice "Calm down, first I'm going to is scan your aura, then if it's what I believe it to be I'll unlock your magical energy"
:
: The back was a small, confined space with several dolls around, they could see the partially clouded sky.
:
: After only a moment both Peter and Alex started glowing, blue energy surrounded them "Interesting, Well, now to unleash your potential" The wizard said, he placed his hand on their chests again and the energy surrounding the two men started glowing brighter and after several seconds Fáfnir let the two men go, the could move but they were still glowing "Now my friends it's time to start your training, it should only take an hour or two"
:
: Peter looked at his hand, admiring the glow "So uhh, what do we do then" he said very confused.
: Fáfnir smiled "There are several different types of magic, all based on the four elements, air, fire, earth and water. But all of these need energy to work, that is what I can teach you" the man paused for a moment "There are three types of attack and three types of defenses. The attacks are, touch, ball and wave types. The defenses are shield, barrier and globe." Lets start with the beginning, before attacking you two will need to speak the attack: energy touch, ball or wave since neither of you is going to spend fifty years learning the art of silent magic" he said, I don't need to teach you touch because, well it requires no special training, but ball and wave"
:
: Fáfnir pointed his right hand at one of the dummies, with his palm facing the dummy and crooked "Hands like this, focus your energy and speak 'Energy ball'" Just as he said the words a ball of energy appeared "Then stretch out your fingers and release it" The wizard did it and the ball shot and hit the dummy, burning the surface slightly "Now you try.
:
: Peter tried first, it took him several tries but he finally hit the dummy "Well that went well" he said smiling slightly "your turn, sir" He told Alex.
:
: After Alex mastered the attack Fáfnir placed his hands together (The same sense as Dragonballs Kamehameha wave) and spoke "Energy wave" and a wave of energy shot out, he didn't remove his hands from each other for a whole minute, the dummy was gone and only a burning wooden stick remained "oops, sometimes I forget my own power sometimes, now you try"
: It took Peter even longer this time to master and after ruining two dolls he mastered it.
:
: After Alex mastered the attack Fáfnir spoke again "Defensive magic requires you to speak, then hold your hand like you would a shield" he gave them a demonstration "The three types are catogarised, type 1, 2 and three. each is more powerful than the other and takes up much more energy" he paused again "My friend will give you a device that will tell you your power with a mixture of science and magic, real complex technology, he is a very intelligent man and a great learner of both the arcane and scientific arts, he is the man you will be escorting" The elderly gentle man said as he walked away "oh, and you can also use touch magic to heal others, just touch and speak 'heal' simple as that" he then continued to walk away and left the two of them alone.
:
: Peter - Also playing Fáfnir the Wizard.
:
: OOC: There will be more but I just spent too much time on this post, I'll try to give you more posts like this.

Alex nodded at Fafnir as he was leaving. The sensation was so real, that it almost felt like he had actutally been indued with power, that he could actually cast a spell and it might work. He knew of course that this was absurd. Magic, real magic just did not exist, still it was fun to imagine.

He turned to Peter, "Well let's meet this genius we are watching over. He sounds like an interesting fellow."
