Aetherial Artisan Veila

"Anavi Retect, stand and be counted!"

"I am here, I am potent."

"We will be the judges of that, but we note your enthustiastic participation in the ritual, Anavi, born of cast-off remnants, molded of vitriol and spite, we salute your fire." Veila replied, as the ritual master

"In shadow I was molded, in ignorance, I was tempered, in knowledge I will succeed."

"Quite, we will observe. Suktir Mutosh, stand and be counted."

"I am Suktir, I have come to be accounted for."

"We take note of your mettle, Suktir, come and stand on the clouds, dance upon them with us."

"I am Umbratik, I have come to contend!"

"Umbratik, you are expected, take the third circle of contenders, we have heard of your name, and would know you worth. Here in the city of blue gauze, only the worthy may learn sorcery, only the most careful, the most studious, may graduate and call themselves sorcerers. Are you worthy?"

"Worthy or dead, I will know my fate by the end of today."
