Marie hadn't had really much to do here of late. Then again she wasn't exactly what one called..openly friendly. The young woman had gotten the idea by the fact some had requested help in training with the arcane arts. There was of course the academy of Five Swords that was created by the Regent Syn years ago.
However there was a distance between where the castle was and the academy. Marie thought about creating a sister to the school. Something closer and would give them all a chance to explore the possibilities of their abilities. Those that showed greater abilites would be encouraged to seek further education among the teachers and scholars at the Five Swords, while those that had tasks such as the knighthood, rangers or other prior commitments could learn within this smaller college.
Marie had sought out Tempest and spoke with her about the idea, then pressed further to speak with the Regent himself. The small mage could have danced about in a small circle when he had agreed to help as well as ensured there would be assistance from the Five Swords. That was a load off her mind.. now of course was finding a building that would sustain such energies.
The tiny blonde spent sometime riding through the area, looking at the buildings that had for one reason or another become empty, though most were located within the towns or simply too close to the homes of the people of GoldenMyst. As a mage she understood the need for a safe zone. In her beginning studies she had found.. sometimes things just explode. Which was rather embarassing and regrettably had caused some damage to the cottage she had lived in.
So a safe location was absolutely required! Hm.. she made her way back to the castle and sat within the main hall contemplating and working on a few sketches. More importantly she had to come up with a name for this new fraction of the school.

She was rarely seen during the day. It wasn't because she would turn into a crispy critter, but her powers weren't as strong as they were at night. Ahhhh the downfall of being a vampire. Coming in the main hall of the castle from the doorway that led to the gardens, she went in search of her wine. She thought she had more in her cabin but she was wrong. She had sent a missive to BlackCross, telling them to send more since she didn't know when she would be able to get back there.
She noticed Marie and remembered a conversation they had a few weeks past about a mage school here within GoldenMyst. She knew about Five Swords but agreed with Marie that it was too far and would be best suited for those studying more complex magics.
Grabbing the bottle, she pulled the cork, took a drink and walked over to where the Mage was sitting. Plopping down on a sofa across from her, she gave her a nod.
"Good day to you Marie." See she could be nice. To those who didn't piss her off. "What are you working on? Did you talk to Syn? Did you take a look at the old Mage school? Did you find it? Any other ideas you have?" She was full of questions this morning and wondered if it would annoy Marie. She had a habit of doing that to people.

The brows lifted before the pale eyes slipped away from the parchment she sketched on. The light smile appeared as she listened to the woman rattle off her list of questions. The blue eyes blinked as she chuckled softly. " Finished? " She asked quietly before setting the quill aside to answer the string of questions.
" I spoke with Syn and he is in agreement. He will allow us to sister our school with his, along with helping to set it up and providing provisions that we may need. And I was working on some sketches , designs and possibilties. The old school turns out to be an old home belonging to someone or another though it isn't possible anyone lives there now. "She explained quietly as she folded her hands onto her lap. " It may work perfectly for what we have in mind, though I would feel better to purchase it , if even from the crown to keep things tidy. Its located just on the outskirts, away from the population but not so far that its difficult to travel to. "She concluded as she chuckled quietly. " And I fear I am just getting started with my ideas. " She blushed softly and glanced back down to the sketch.
" I was speaking with another mage though he isn't of this particular kingdom brought up the possiblities of guest teachers, things of that nature. It may be something we wish to look into once we have gained student. It would also be benifical to ourselves as well. There is a matter of the testing which we will have to put together to judge who will remain here with our school and who should be encouraged to go further with their education to Five Sword. " She drew in a breath. The small shift was given as she frowned slightly.
" What I have been pondering now is the name for the college. For some reason that in itself seems to elude me. " She chuckled quietly as she looked at her division leader.
"Now with that completed.. how have you been? " She canted her head with a light smile. Well Tempest was considered a friend in Marie's book.. those so few and far between.

When Marie asked if she was finished, she gave a small giggle. Tempest was in one of her moods today. She acted like her age. Not her vampire age but her true age. Nineteen. She swung her legs over the side of the chair, head hanging off the other side and looked at Marie, upside down. Another giggle escaped her before she got down to business. Goofy one moment, lethal the next.
"Yes I am finished. I am glad you have spoken with Syn. He and I don't get along very well sometimes. Don't know why really but alas what can you do? As for the monetary aspect of it all, worry not. I have the funds and will give you and the crown what ever is we may need to get the school up and running. I don't want to be in debt to Syn or anyone for that matter. You and I will have to go up to the old house soon and make a list of what we may need. I have supplies here and at BlackCross. What I don't have I am sure we can find or buy." A small smile crossed her face. "It is good that is far enough away from anyone in case something goes boom. Wouldn't want anyone getting hurt." That was her trying to be responsible. "And when you are ready to show off your ideas I would love to see them. And why in the world are you blushing? And guest teachers is another great idea and of course we will look into it." If she ever decided to give up her position within the Kingdom, she would beg Syn, which is so not like her, to give it Marie, who was active and willing to work. "A judge heh? Not a bad idea either. I think since Syn is an Arch Mage, he should be the one to hold that title. Another reason is because he created Five Swords so who better to test those who wish to continue their education. What think you? A name? Mmmmm a name. Maybe we should ask the other Mage's for their input on a name since they will be studying there. What think you of that? And me? Oh I am well. Making more enemies here as usual. For some reason I can't seem to keep my ass out of trouble."
She began swinging her feet back and forth as she continued to look at Marie, upside down mind you. She considered Marie a friend as well. She had very few friends but the ones she did have...She would defend them to their enemies death. "Now you tell me, how are you?"

The small shrug was given as she chuckled softly, it was a rare moment when Tempest seemed to be ..well.. more open with herself. Then the stoic woman staring at people from the counter. Marie rather liked it this way. As for the friends thing? Ah no worries there, Marie seemed to have narrowed that field herself a great margin.
" Excellent I wasn't sure about the guest teachers and such but I do agree that Syn should be one of those that aids us in the decision of those wishing to move forward. " She gave a firm little nod about that. " The supplies and such I'm sure one way or another we will gather as the need arises. " She chuckled softly and glanced down to the sketch pad.
" When I was in Telarus , years ago we had spoken of creating seperate towers.. Each for an element that would be expressively learned there. It may be something of that nature we wish to approach with this school as well. As some such as Sate and Tyreal they are more gifted with Wind, others..Fire.. and so forth. It would allow them the chance to expand upon the knowledge they have. Allowing us to use the more central location of the school to combine them..a neutral grounds of sorts. " She explained softly. The glance over to being peered at upside down had Marie giggling herself.
Alright enough of this, because Marie would simply babble until her head turned blue! And she knew it. " I have been very well.. it seems that Tyreal and I will be expecting likely in the later part of fall. "She grinned. " I may not be able to go upon the adventures and such as I wish to.. but teaching would be acceptable I believe."

"To be honest there should be five towers actually. One facing North, South, East and West and one should be in the center. Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit." That was something both of her parents had taught her. Magic consisted of the elements and the sprit of what was around them. Gods that seemed so long ago. And for a split second she thought of her father. Lost in a memory for just a moment, she shook her head as if to clear the thought and focused once more on Marie.
"I am good with water and for creating thunderstorms which is water and air. And I like the idea of a neutral ground." Just not for her. Tempest's magic along with her had a very dark side to it. Some understood. Some didn't. And then she blinked and sat up, her head swimming for a moment. "You're pregnant? Wow. Well you can still teach. So there. And I dare anyone to have a problem with it."
She laid back, once more upside down swinging her legs. "So ya gonna get married? And have kids and everything?" She was a curious little bugger today.

Marie had given a little nod.. it was something they could work through the towers or well areas of school.. that sort of thing. Though the soft chuckle was given as she offered a little nod and the smile that gave a hint of the tender heart beneath the often rude words.
" That is the plan yes.. though it seems a bit backwards given We were supposed to be married first.. then children. "She blushed a little and looked at Tempest. " I had hoped you would see it that way, I won't be able to do much with the battles againt the Orcs and such.. but I can help people better perpare themselves for the onslaughts that we have been dealing with. "She gave a small nod.

"Who said you had to be married before you had babies? Is there a law I don't know about? And why are you blushing?" She gave a frown. "Sex, when with the right person, is amazing." A little peek of the hidden succubus, another gift from her dead, deranged mother. One no one really knew anything about. "It can be very powerful," she stated in a very matter of fact way.
"As for not being able to help with the Orcs, worry not. As long as you are around to help others then all will be right with the world." Let one person speak against Marie, just one, and hell would be heaven to that person when she was done with them.

Marie chuckled softly and shook her head. " It isn't a law.. but it isn't proper , where I am from. "She admitted with a small shrug. The idea of sex being powerful made Marie frown slightly. " I don't htink I could ever use it in such a way. Not to say I do not know those that do. "She admitted. But well one would really have to meet the women Marie spoke about.
" I hope so. I just want things to go smoothly.. my father to consent to the wedding.. and to be Marie Fierce.. "She chuckled softly as she gave a little girlish giggle. There was no need to be too protective over the little mage.. words were merely words.. it was only when a person accepted them could they bring any true harm.

"Define proper? What your definition is compared to someone else's maybe something completely different. It is all in how you look at it. And oh yes, sex can be very powerful." Well at least it was to her. It not only fed her demon but her magic as well. "Imagine harnessing the feeling when you have an," she glanced at Marie and remembered others may not be as open about the subject as she was, "Well you know. And projecting it into your magic. Very interesting things can happen." She remembered one night when she was with...Well never you mind.
"Things will be fine Marie. Chin up. Confidence. I am sure your father will consent. And Fierce. That name. Any relation to Sate?" She had no doubt Marie could handle her self but still Tempest was and can be very over protective of her friends.
