Chapter III
Rogue

As Swift walked towards to the Mages Guild, he marveled at the immense amount of work and precision it would have taken to build such a structure so perfectly; it was a massive tower that he had never seen up close before, he had only seen it as a massive spire that contrasted beautifully against the sun which caused the sky to turn red, with some shades of purple mixed in, and also reflected its orange color against the chaotic water.

Up close, it was just as gorgeous, with grey stone bricks that created the walls of the peering spire, and white bricks which surrounded the completely clear windows. It also had a giant wall around the tower that had a blue roof which mixed in nicely with the clear sky.

Swift knocked loudly on the wooden door which was so thick it seemed as though it was more of a gate. He nervously checked his surroundings to see if anyone was looking at him, and being positive nobody would see, he held out the shard of The Crystal of Life which was wrapped in rough parchment so that when a sorcerer opened the door, he could greet them properly and they would get down to business. A wizard quickly answered the door; he was a middle-aged wizard that had a long black beard and wore a grey wizard’s cap and robes that had intricate

“Greetings! How are you on such a fine day?” The wizard asked, greeting Swift.

“I am doing fantastic, I thank you for asking.” Swift replied.

“Come in, come in!” He insisted. “And what is your name?” He inquired, as they walked casually up the stairs of the massive tower.

“I am Swift, and you?” Swift politely replied.

“I am Tim. I am but only an apprentice here, but I am to graduate in no more than a fortnight.” He explained.

“Well, good luck to you. But this matter requires that of impeccable patience and understanding of magic. I will need to speak to your master.” Swift tried to say to him as politely as possible.

“Oh yes, of course! Very well then. Right this way.” He told Swift, leading him all the way up a great spiral staircase which led to every single last floor in the tower; but they did not visit any that evening, only one. His master’s office.

Tim knocked three times consecutively on the door of his master’s office.

“Enter!” His master yelled.

Tim opened the door slightly so that he could peek his head through the door.

“A young man by the name of Swift wants to see you.” He stated, as if almost scared that his master may lash out on him.

“Very well then. Swift, come in!” He said, welcoming Swift inside to start off on a positive note.

Swift unsurely walked towards the center of the room where his desk stood, along with nearby chairs for guests and customers such as Swift. Tim’s master had several items spread out across his desk: talismans, pieces of paper that Tim’s master had clearly but massive amounts of work and thought into, and curious items that Swift had never seen before, like a grouping of pink crystals which seemed to not conform to the laws of gravity as they twirled around each other as if magnetised yet not pulling one another together, floating just atop a black pedestal which he could not, for the life of him, figure out its core purpose.

“What brings you here? Tim only brings up those who have very important tasks in mind for me.” He asked in a very polite fashion, accompanied by curiosity.

“On the behalf of the Linstrel National Museum, I require of you to identify a sample of an artifact. It is of utmost importance that you are the one who does so, for it is much too valuable to risk having no less than a wizard such as yourself to identify it. You may contact my employer for payment when the job is done.” Swift explained, formerly.

“Before I accept, I simply must see the artifact.” He demanded.

“If you must.” Swift complied, handing over the artifact which was wrapped tightly in parchment.

“This is simply magnificent! I have never had such an ancient object brought to my office. And it holds true to its description in ‘Initium’, as well! This is incredible, I thank you for taking it in. I accept; however, the job will take quite a long time, as compared to my other jobs. Give it no more than a week, I’d reckon, and it will be finished.” He apprised Swift, after examining the crystal for quite some time, which had formerly been wrapped up and concealed away.

“Then our business is done. I will leave you to it. Good day, sir.” Swift said, trying to exit on a polite note.

“Very well. Farewell, and good day!” He said, looking incredibly happy and overjoyed of what had just arrived in his office.

Swift stood up from the wooden chair he had been sitting in, which was carved with intricate symbols which had probably meant something to the sorcerers who worked here, turned around, and walked out the door of the master’s office which led to the great spiral staircase, all the while with a smile on his face.

* * * * * * *

After six days of hard work, day and night effort and persistence, the master had finally cracked the code of the artifact, and had identified it. He (and his two apprentices, who had been behind him the whole time, watching and learning about the ancient crystal) had been so joyful when they finally identified it. It had been the guild’s greatest accomplishment yet.

“This great artifact is clearly a power supply of sorts. It holds great power, and can be used to do great things that require the greatest of magics. That museum is very lucky indeed to have stumbled upon such an item. The historical significance behind this discovery is phenomenal. It is of utmost importance that this is used for non other than good.” The master expounded with great wisdom.

“Aye. We must make sure of it that these people at the museum are not corrupt, and that the mean no more than good fortune for this world. Evil creeps up on us, even now, as we speak.” The second apprentice agreed, who had been relatively new to the guild, in contrast to Tim who had been a veteran among the other apprentices.

“It matters not. This is property of the museum, and it is our duty to return it, even if it means they will misuse such power.” The master said, correcting is naive apprentice.

The second apprentice quickly grabbed Tim, with great force, and tucked him up against himself. He had then unsheathed a dagger and put it across Tim’s throat, blade pointing out. Tim tried to escape from the assassin’s grip, but all effort proved useless.

“I reckon whether the museum owns it or not won’t matter now!” The assassin exclaimed.

The master drew his staff which was attached by some sort of curious sheath atop his back. The master was now in a battle stance, ready to attack at any moment.

“If you move even one muscle, I will slit open your prized pupil’s jugular right now. Don’t you think I won’t! His life is nothing to mine.” He threatened.

The master stood still for a moment. He did not know what to do. He knew that no spell would ever be accurate enough to be launched and only hit the assassin. But if he were to move, he reckoned that the killer had no intention of lying about his threats. So he resorted to reasoning with the wretched man.

“What do you want from us, putrid slime!” The master yelled angrily.

“I want that shard. That’s all. One shard, and you friend lives, and nobody’s hurt.” He tried convinced the master.

But Tim did not comply; he grabbed the assassin’s arm with both hands, and forced the blade away from his neck. He then turned around, hands still forcing the killer’s blade away from him, and kicked the killer in the chest, knocking the breath out of him. The killer dropped his blade to the ground out of pure instinct and held both hands across his stomach, and leaned forward. Tim then punched the assassin directly in the face with a forceful uppercut. The killer fell to the ground, curled up. Tim picked up the knife and held it firmly in his hand, but it was, in no way, held in a threatening fashion. He had no intention to kill the man, no matter how wicked he was.

But then, something filled Tim’s mind. Something uncontrollable, something that he could never shake off. He could not identify the being that had flooded into his brain, but all he had known was that it was commanding, and demanded something of him. And he was forced to comply, and follow through with whatever this thing asked. He had then pinned the evil man to the ground, and held the blade up to his throat.

“Tim! Please, no! I beg for mercy! I-- I cannot be killed like an animal! I have family! I don’t deserve this!” The man begged and pleaded for his life, but it did not matter how much he begged or cried.

“Don’t call me Tim, rotten bastard.” The wizard said, and with one forceful push through the evil man’s throat, those were the last words the assassin had ever heard.

Blood poured and spilled all over the floor. It seeped through the cracks of the wooden floor and dripped down the the level below.

The professor working in the office below noticed a drip of blood suddenly fall down to the parchment he had been working on that day. With no explanation, he looked around his room, trying to find some sort of reason behind the mysterious drip of blood. He looked up at the ceiling, and noticed one more droplet of blood fall through the wood above. He moved his paper away from where the blood came down, and ran frantically upstairs to see what all of this was about.

“Oh god! What the hell are you doing?!” The professor screamed at the wizard, kneeling over the dead body of another apprentice.

“You saw nothing.” Tim said, peering up at the professor's face, which looked back in utter horror.

“Guards!” The professor screamed at the top of his lungs.

“You made the wrong choice. Run, run to the end of the world, old man.” Tim threatened, calmly.

And so the professor did.

“And what the hell was that, may I ask?” The master asked Tim, both with a quizzical look, and a ferociously mad one.

“Self defense.” Tim replied.

“That was no act of self defense! You had no right to end that man’s life; no matter how horrible he was!” The master spoke truth and wisdom.

“Does it matter now?! Where will we go? Who can we depend on?” Tim asked, trying to steer his master off course only to deceive him into accompanying Tim.

“Nobody,” Tim’s master sat down hopelessly in a nearby chair, staring in deep thought at the dead body, which lay on the ground in a pool of blood, “We have nobody to turn to; nobody to rely on.” Tim’s master admitted, hopelessly.

“Then you come along with me, right now, before we find ourselves in the hands of the guards.” Tim said, looking out the window of his master’s office, thoughtfully calculating how long it would take for the guards to get to the top of the tower.

They ran downstairs without a thought in their mind, aside from purely escaping the guards. Once they were out of Linstrel, it seemed to them that they would be safe from the Trinigrath government, but this would not be true. Overtime, they grew all too familiar with the thought of escaping from Trinigrath completely, but the thought seemed absurd and undoable, but they knew that for how many guards they had killed following the day they fled Linstrel due to the recent murder of the assassin, they would be hunted down to the end of the world.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that lego, but I wasn't sure because some people may find it unorganized, and hard to get to the chapter they want. Still not sure, though.

Also, thanks capri :). I will write more. Just give me some time. I will likely slow down considerably in writing in these next couple days, but I will not be going to school Wednesday-Friday this week, and then after that is summer break, so I will be writing a lot then. Thanks for the feedback again :)

I like my character! Nice chapter, can't wait to see who else is going to be introduced.

Dear Santa, what I want for Christmas is for all the Bannanachairs to come back to life. Their extinction has caused massive impact on the economy, and several governments have gone into anarchy from this. From Tim.

I'm still planning a spin-off. Maybe something about how the elves were enslaved three years before this story takes place?

Yes. I would prefer you talk to me about some of the more basic things in the story so that the history of this world stays consistent.

I am looking forward to it :)

I'm still going to wait until I have enough so that there will be no inconsistencies between the story and the spin-off, if that's okay.
