In a large hall on the ground floor of the Toledo fort, the apprentices were chanting August's name. Their reactions were not out of place as they had witnessed an upset. Sorcerer August who many addressed as 'Storm', a newbie who was gradually revered as a genius within the Brander clan had swept the floor with two intermediate sorcerers.
Despite being at the intermediate level as well, he defeated them without breaking a sweat. As if that was not enough he managed to force an elite-level sorcerer, Gaius, revered as Gaius the Dragonborn, an established expert below the first rank, into a disadvantage.
For many apprentices, they felt like they were witnessing the beginning of a legend that would be told for generations to come. In Storm, they saw hope, they felt motivated to become strong like him and challenge other geniuses above their level.
