An aging man with a long, white beard and balding head sat at a table surrounded with similarly decrepit old people. The table they sat around was octagonal in shape and each face sat a chair, with each chair hosting a person. All eight of them glanced about the room nervously, save one.
The only person who was acting as though nothing was wrong was the infamous Wally Carmichael. He had joined his colleagues of the Arcadian Royal Academy's Magical Studies branch in their main gathering hall. Each seat was meant for a representative of the different areas of study.
The primary studies performed at the academy included; Elemental Magic, Transcendent Magic, Light Magic, Dark Magic, Enchantment, Arts, Alchemy (which included the study of magical flora and fauna), and finally, Marks.
