Mentality

Personal history

Mattias Veill was one of many students who attended SCHOOL NAME to learn magic. However, his talent and constant pushing of boundaries caught the attention of one of the professors, Anika Isami. She offered Mattias extra lessons and later an apprenticeship. During his private lessons with her, Anika began carefully introducing Mattias to the darker varieties of magic. It started off very slowly and carefully in case Mattias wasn't receptive but when he showed nothing but enthusiasm for even the darkest of magic she dared teach him Anika soon gave up the pretense when they were alone. But there was a limit to how much of this kind of magic Mattias could do and learn while still a student and surrounded by other, less "open-minded" students and faculty.
 
That changed when Mattias finished his classroom studies and began his apprenticeship. Having finally found herself an apprentice, Anika stepped back from teaching at SCHOOL NAME to teach Mattias full time. They moved to a cottage Anika owned a convenient distance from town where Mattias began his studies in dark magic in earnest. Under Anika Mattias delved deep into the necromantic magics, deeper perhaps than she had anticipated. In fact Mattias happily performed research and experiments that Anika herself had never dared. It began to worry her, how far her apprentice was delving and far he was willing to go in pursuit of his studies. She had also begun to notice the pleasure Mattias took in some of the more sadistic aspects of necromancy.
 
Anika was worried, worried that in her excitement at having found an apprentice to teach her craft to, she had created a monster greater than herself. It was then that Anika decided something had to be done. She could find another student, but this one was too dangerous to be allowed to live. She began to plan. It took several weeks for her to gather the ingredients for a poison Mattias hadn't learned about yet and Mattias seemed none the wiser to her plan throughout that time. Finally the time came and Anika mixed the poison while Mattias was out gathering ingredients. That night Anika poured the poison in Mattias glass at their table before bringing out dinner from the kitchen. Anika suggested a toast to Mattias' amazing progress in his studies and they both drank.
 
After sipping from his glass, Mattias smiled gently at Anika and said, "You know, I was looking for some more information on one of the herbs I was using last week when I came upon a tome I had never seen before in your study. You'll have to excuse my poor manners, but of course I picked it up and looked through it. Do you know which book it was?"
 
Anika tried to respond, but she fond her throut getting tight and breathing was becoming difficult and painful.
 
Mattias' smile widened, "Oh no need to answer, it was a rhetorical question anyway. And of course you know what book it was, after all the delightful little poison you tried to slip into my drink came from there didn't it."
 
Mattias gently rested his chin atop a raised hand as he watched Anika choke. He said, "You'll have to forgive me for switching our glasses while you were in the kitchen, but you know how I dislike bitter things and a number of the plants that went into that particular drink are bitter indeed."
 
Anika clutched at her throat with one hand, reaching out in a pleading gesture towards Mattias with the other as she slumped out of her chair and onto the floor. Mattias kneeled down on the floor next to her and took the outstretched hand in his. "Don't worry", he patted her hand gently, "I'll make sure this whole unfortunate affair wasn't in vain."
 
He smiled that gentle smile again, "There is still plenty I can learn from you teacher, even in death."
