Thread: [Middie] The Replacement [Vali]

Kael walked past the gate guards, smirking and making a gesture at them. The guards had made very sure that he never passed them before, so he had to get... creative if he wanted even to explore the gardens that lie right outside of them. Kael's little encounter was still fresh on his mind, but he hid it behind his smiling face, not many people got to see him that close to the nude like his teacher did, he felt a little dirty for peeking on her too, if she saw him she may not want to be his teacher any more, which meant he was out of luck for a whole year. He didn't know that she did in fact know he was peeking, and figured it was best to put the incident out of his mind. The male walked ahead of his new teacher, showing her the way as he walked down the long path that lead deep into the forest. You specialize in neuropoisons? Paralyzing agents were a fun thing to use, but neuropoisons sounded painful, So you can teach me how to make paralyzing potions? Kel glanced up at his teacher, walking into the entrance of the forest. He guessed that was what she meant by neurotoxins. I also do not know much about poisons, the academy only really teaches about cures and restorative potions. They frown on making poisons, though I hear there is a bunch of ingredients in the forest that you can use to get all kinds of effects. Kael grinned deviously, there were a few individuals he wouldn't mind slipping something to give them some trouble, even if the result was as simple as massive diarrhea. Kael walked past the two giant oaks that stood and marked the entrance of the great forest that surrounded the academy's towers. I actually like making potions... some of the other kids make fun of me for it but I think it is worth it The older kids that preferred things like dueling occasionally picked on the small elf, his knowledge of offensive spells wasn't that great. The forest was forbidden for good reason, while it was a great place to find ingredients, but dangerous creatures also lurked inside the boundaries of the forest, from things as simple as wolves and bears to werewolves, ghosts, and other even more dangerous and nightmarish creatures, some reports even came in from the forest that a demon had been sighted. Kael had always wondered what a demon was like, he had no idea that he was walking next to one. Kael looked up the great trees' branches as he walked by, taking the biggest path he could find. The boy was practically glowing with excitement, making occasional glances back to his teacher. The forest is great for studying, I really like the trees, but I don't get to go out here all that often. After a little while the forest began to grow much thicker, the view of the tower completely blocked by trees save for the very top of the great gold tower, the silver tower was not tall enough. Kael walked into a large oval clearing in the trees, located up against the face of what seemed to be a steep cliff in the mountain terrain. The male walked to a large rock where the branches overhead provided the most shade, the ground was covered in moss, and a crystal clear spring ran through the rocks at the base of what seemed to be a large hill. Roots entangled the ground everywhere save for where people were supposed to walk, in the large oval, it was obvious that young magi had altered the environment of the clearing to make it a comfortable place to study well into the night. Several paths split out away from Kael spun around. Here we are, I hear a lot of students talking about this place, they say it is great for hanging out and studying of course that was not all it was used for, it was occasionally used as a makeout point for older students since it was so private. Kael had snuck out here a couple times, had some fond memories of it. The clearing was absolutely serene. Kael sat down on a rock that looked suspiciously like an armchair, This is practically a garden, so many ingredients. The male bent over and picked a flower from beside the rock, presenting it to her This can be used in a potion to ease sore muscles Kael looked around I brought potionmaking gear, and if you wanted to teach me more about teleportation, that would be great Kael was really glad he had this teacher. Kael felt very, very happy and at peace here, it was probably because he was an elf, he felt close to nature.
