Another Newcomer
"Hmm.." Shilohen thought to himself as he looked down at his map. "This must be the place!"
Shilohen made his way up to the large yet welcoming wooden doors and a guard asked him to state his business.
"Why, sir, have you not heard of my coming? I am none other than Shilohen McCroix, former apprentice of Magister Ingham himself! I have come to s .."
The guard burst out laughing while Shilohen was mid-sentence. Shilohen glared at the guard.
"Oy Siegfried, not another one of them crazy 'mages' have come to serve the Duchy of Wessex!" said a short, yet stout, dwarven guard to his companion who was trying to regain his composure.
Shilohen shook his head and muttered a magic incantation, creating a stream of sparkling lights from his finger. Both of the guards started to laugh at this point.
Feeling defeated Shilohen turned away from the great halls. Shilohen hung his head low and started to walk away.
"I have been a mage's apprentice since I was only five years of age, and for the past twenty years I have learned nothing but parlor tricks! No one takes a young mage seriously. They do not understand my potential!!" Shilohen thought to himself.
"Excuse me sir, but are you here to serve the Duchy of Wessex?" a well-dressed man asked.
"Well, that was the plan.. I hoped to have a place to call home and practice my magic and become a most learned spellcaster. Those guards do not understand the amount of time it takes to realize one's potential as a mage! I have completed my apprenticeship and am now ready to take on the challenge of self-discovery!"
"Indeed, but those of us that are, well, more educated understand your situation. I am sure the great Duchy of Wessex would be more than happy to have a young mage such as yourself as a subject. Come with me into the Reception Chambers and let's get you to fill out some necessary paperwork, mage!"
"Ah, bureaucracy at its finest: paperwork and more paperwork!" Shilohen said as a smile crept across his face. Shilohen followed the man into the Reception Chambers, the guards now emotionless as they knew they would be reprimanded for their display.
((Hello everyone! Hope my story wasn't lame. I debated on writing a story or just coming in all OOC-like, but I figured I'd write a story and try to show my creative side :P
Of course I have to thank Erwin and Sayton, both of whom I met on their GTA server, for telling me about this lovely guild, as I love the concept and hope to become a full member soon! Great thing you have going here guys, and I can't wait to see everything at work in Darkfall!))
