The Role of Mages

Power

We woke up pretty early that day.

" Come on, get ready." Zero shakes my shoulder.

" O-k." I say, sleepily.

" Why are we leaving so early?" I ask, yawning.

" It's better to walk than to teleport." Ryland replies.

" So you're saying.....that this"Blackheart's" place is really far?" I yawn again.

" Yup." They reply.

" Aww." I look down. This is going to be a long trip.

We walk across a mountain during a blizzard.

" How The Fuck Are All Of You Not Cold?!! Parcelius Is The Only One Here Who's Actually Dressed In Some Wear Clothes!!!" I exclaim, shivering so much that I can feel my teeth chatter.

" Oops, forgot another thing to mention." Samus looks at Ryland.

" Just another thing for Blackheart to explain. You know he loves to talk." Ryland says to her.

" I Hate You All!" I exclaim. Aster flicks me on the head.

" You don't know a single thing about that feeling." He says to me, smirking.

All of them started snickering.

" I-I-I-I-It's n-n-n-not f-f-ffunny!!" I frown and shiver.

" How about we all walk in our underwear for the rest of the walk?" Zero suggests.

" Are you all ma-" I stop talking after everyone's clothes disappeared, leaving them in their underwear.

They all were either whistling or snickering.

"... I'm not going to question this anymore." I say.

I shivered the rest of the way up the mountain. Everyone put their clothes back on when we finally reached a mansion that looked fairly old but, the owner has been taking good care of it.

Ryland knocks on the door.

A man with blonde hair with a hint of orange and silver eyes opens the door.

" Oh good. You got my letter." He says. He looks at me and turn his head towards me.

" Is this the newbie I've heard about?" He asks.

" Um yes... Kyoto DarkFate."

" Hilberch Waterclaw. Nice to meet you."

" Um... Where's Blackheart?" I ask.

" Oh he's in his office. Feel free to come in." He opens the door and we

all walk in.

The mansion had a wooden floor with a black carpet. Many weapons can be seen all over the wall.

" What the-"

" Well Hello There!" A dark skinned man wearing a dark green robe, a dark green hat and a grey beard appears next to me.

" Wah!" I jump slightly and look straight at him.

" Hoho, it's always a lot of fun to mess with the new mages!" He speaks in a strange accent and laughs.

" Hey, it's been awhile." Ryland says to him.

" Indeed it has, you little hound!" He pokes her on the nose. She laughs slightly.

" Um... Mr. Blackheart..." I say then, he quickly runs up to me and smells my hair.

" 15. 5'3. Eyes of your father. Hair of your mother. Very low strength." He circles around me, looking at my eyes, hair, height and pinches my arm.
