Year 584, New World
The following morning, Sirius found himself standing at the estate front gate with his father, facing a modest taxi carriage. The sun was not even visible, so Sirius questioned whether it was nighttime or daytime. He had been almost dragged out of bed a few minutes ago and was told it would make a good first impression for him to greet his private tutor. Filled with drowsiness, he pictured a tall wise looking man, like those described in his fantasy books be his teacher.
"Good morning." Came a voice too soft, gentle and high pitched for Sirius's depiction of his future tutor.
According to Sirius's imagination, the person who stepped out of the carriage should've been a man with a handlebar moustache, similar to Oliver Earl's, wearing a monocle in a clean suit. But it was instead a girl, with long dark green hair and pointy ears. Her left eye was a bright brown, while her right was a deeper shade of green than her hair. She wore a large pointed hat, black robes and boots, and held a wooden sceptre with a transparent blue orb on top.
"My name is Virgo Miragwynn"
They carried the girl's belongings and escorted her inside the manor. After a friendly exchange of greetings, Fortis told Sirius that he would be learning magic, arithmetic, science, language, philosophy, economics and swordsmanship for the next four years.
"She is going to be teaching me swordsmanship too?" he gasped.
"No no, that would be me." grinned his father
"But even so, she looks like she isn't much older than me. Can she really teach me all that?"
The girl pouted and said "I should have you know, I'm 43 years older than you. I'm a half elf you see."
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss Miragwynn."
"Don't worry about it and please, call me Virgo."

Sirius could hear Virgo gasp at every turn to every hallway as he guided her around the estate. 'Surely the house can't be that extravagant' he thought. After introducing her to his mother and the estate's servants, Sirius lead her to one of the guest bedrooms. If her reactions to the previous rooms was amazed, then the one she gave this room would be astonished. She stood in a dumbfounded daze for a few seconds and ran around the room, laughing and jumping on the king sized bed. Sirius thought she was more childlike than he had first predicted, despite her age.

Bright sunlight filled the sky, making the already stuffy atmosphere even warmer. Instead of enjoying a chilly iced tea inside the cool manor while reading a book on a day like this, Sirius stood outside grudgingly enduring the shower of fire while envying his tutor who held a cup of ice cold fruit juice, lounging in a chair with an umbrella.
"First things first,"
began Virgo Marigwynn
"Lets test your fundamental magic. I've heard from your father that you are a 'special' Fotia magician, with special much emphasised for some reason. I see you've got your wand, hold it out and say 'Ignis' while letting out as mana as you can."
Sirius asked "As much mana as I can? Are you sure? What if I damage something?"
The girl laughed
"Don't worry, it won't be anything dangerous."
'He is a kid after all. Like hell he can damage something with 'Ignis'' She thought.
