Thread: Allure of the Neophyte ::-Haru/whizz-::

The simple teleportation spell most assuredly got her across the water and she reappeared close to the door of the tower, though Ryuu was glad she had not tried to over extend herself and breach the walls of the tower. That would not have been a missive he'd have wanted to send, that their prize student had been shunted off to other dimension within moments of arriving. Ryuu would not have felt bad about it, yet she had proven to show restraint. His last student had tried to show off and wound up decimated on the Plane of Chaos. It had taken the interior walls of the tower weeks to stop bleeding. Willing himself to the entryway of the tower, Ryuu's own magic was much as the girl's had been, though not as flashy as he simply disappeared and then reappeared without the lightshow, though of course the girl would not have seen any of it. Opening the iron-bound oaken door, Ryuu saw her standing there a mere few feet away. She was quite pretty, with large expressive eyes and hair the color of chocolate. Ryuu himself appeared as most elves might. Tall for his kind he stood an inch or two over six feet in height, though the knee-high leather boots he wore likely raised that by an inch. White breeches and gloves of some material that was not immediately identifiable covered his legs and hands and a large darkly colored cloak was secured about his torso with a wide leather belt that matched his pants. A staff with a crooked end was grasped in his right hand. His most distinguishing feature was his long and stark white hair that cascaded past his shoulders. His eyes were intense and scrutinizing as he regarded her a moment. Well, turn around girl, let's have a look at you. he commanded. Already his arcane sight was examining her for various dweomers and a frown crossed his features. Is Etridus sending your things? urely that is not all that a girl of your age has packed? he asked, a tone of incredulity in his voice. Young women were notorious for packing, overpacking, for even the briefest of stays and Ryuu expected her here for months most likely. A soft, Hrm. left him and he stood to the side. Come in then. he said, and would allow her to move into the tower when she was ready. As soon as she would cross the threshhold it was obvious that the tower was much more than it might seem on the outside. The circumference of the structure was quite large, but stepping tinto the building was mind-boggling, as the expanse of the interior was not supported by the outside dimensions at all. The doorway and the walls were rather thick, the stone far too smooth to have been worked by mere mundane tools, and closer inspection would reveal that the 'blocks' of the tower were in fact simply carved grooves and the entirety of the structure was either ingeniously put together, or made of one large piece of rock. Either way, it was certainly strange. Once she would enter Ryuu would regard her again, head canted to the side. A slight frown came to his face. After such a trek I would imagine you might be hungry. Are you? he asked. Even as he spoke a few of the tiny fey that had been flitting about peered at the newcomer from various hiding places, curious but shy.
