"Incredible..." Clavis said
"I apologize for breaking your crystal"
"Hahaha, think nothing of it. Though I have to say this is the first time I've seen someone have duel element affinity. I have to write this down!" she scrambled around and started writing.
Terram walked over "I hate to say it but I think I believe your story, I've never heard of anything like that happening. But I do have to say it, make sure to keep that thing inside you under control". he walked over and leaned on a table
"I think the first thing we should do is tell the king im taking on another apprentice, so go grab your cloak and mask, let's go!" You put on your "gear" and followed her, after a few twists and turns we made it to a short hall way with giant gold lined doors with royal guards in front.
"Greeting Mrs.Clavis, do you have business with the king?"
"Yes, I have something very important to tell him" she handed him a silver-ish card with a gold trim
"Of course ma'am, you and..."
"Just call him FW"
"Alright, you and FW come right this way" him and three other guards pushed open the doors. It was a large open room with rows of seats elevated on both sides and a red carpet that led to a podium and beyond that the thrown with a man on it dressed in a white and red fur cloak with a gold chain holding it on and a crown with gems embedded around it.
"When we get up there I'll step up to the podium, make sure you remember to kneel" you both walk forward and as you get closer you realize the king has a huge frame, Clavis walked up to the podium and you stood beside next to it, the king smirked,
"Hello Clavis" he had a deep loud voice and his very presence seemed to demand authority "What are you here for today? and who is this gutsy figure beside you?"
"Greetings my Lord, I am here to ask for your permission to add this man as my apprentice"
"Oh? Another magician has appeared?"
"Actually sir, he's a cobalt class adventurer but he's never seen or used any magic before..."
"Then why should I allow you to apprentice him? If need be I could just make him a guard."
"Well sir, I used a crystal to test him and..."
"And what?"
"Well how do I put this? He has the potential to be one of the best offensive magicians in the world."
"You peeked my interest, what happened?"
"At first it was just fire affinity but after a few seconds demonic affinity came in, and as you know those two are the most offensive magic types, and they just kept getting brighter and more violent until the crystal shattered"
"Boy! What is your name?!"
You bow "Im nobody but a Faceless Wanderer your grace."
He scoffed "Let me see your ID" you toss it to him "HA! You even have it on here, well then, FW where did you come from?"
"My home town was in the southern outskirts however a few months ago it was completely wiped out by a swarm of monsters, im the last one alive"
"Hm, I see. From what Clavis says you could become an amazing ally or a formidable foe, how do I know you won't betray me and leave to Calmite or another country when they offer more?"
"Well sir I don't know if I should say this or not but, currently I am a wanted man in Calmite." After you said that he was clearly shocked "Why? What did you do to warrant a bounty?"
"They accuse me of destroying Sindrie"
"They think that you, magic-less, destroyed one of their biggest cities?"
"Yes sir"
"So they think your Andrew?"
"Yes sir, so I can promise you I will not betray you, cowards betray, those who are arrogant yet have no power for themselves. Only those who skulk in the mud betray those who are close to them. I hope you don't see me as a coward your grace."
"Hm, HAHAHAHA, ah not at all I will gladly let you join our ranks. You've found a good one Clavis. Give him the token and take him to the training grounds introduce him to his swordsmanship teacher, other than that he's all your. You've found a good one Clavis." A man in a gray suit walks over to you,
"May I see your ID sir?" you hand him the card, he puts a gold trim on it and but a stamp of some sort on the back before giving it back
"What is this?" you questioned
"That is my token, you have free rain to go where you want in this castle, it gives you the authority of the king, it's not something I give out lightly but I'm a good judge of character and I can tell your trustworthy"
"Thank you your grace, if you need me don't hesitate to call"
"Good luck with your training" you and Clavis walk out.
She sigh's loudly "What's wrong?"
"Hm? Oh nothing, just he's so commanding it makes me nervous to talk to him. But you did really well, when you didn't kneel you just about gave me a heart attack but I guess it worked out for the best, I never expected you to be able to get the kings seal"
"Thank you"
"Now lets head to the training yard I'll introduce you to your trainer then we can start the magic lessons.
