[The Institute of Higher Learning]
[Early morning]

For years, Amelia has been traveling back and forth between the two cities, between her parents. She was still a bit lost to, why she has decided on stayed in Ravok, how come she decided to become a citizen and everything else in between was a blur. Especially the people, the people she had met once was nothing, but the interesting relationship she had developed with some of the citizens kept her head occupied with questions that she didn’t know the answer to, or just didn’t want to admit them to herself.

One way or the other, Amelia had settled here and was even planning on getting a permanent housing available for her. Everything was looking up to her or so she was sure of. Now, all that was left was pleasing her father. Sometime around winter she had managed to tell him that she was going to be staying in Ravok. Instantly the man was filled with joy and plans for her, one of them was to have her study in the Institute. Amelia was never too keen on the idea, as time passed, she decided that it would be a time worth spent. Above all, her father was angered when she first declined the opportunity upon her first visit to the city.

Near to 20 days had passed and her father had managed to arrange the needed documentation for her. She has heard that a lot of people come to Ravok to earn the opportunity of studying and fail, therefor she just couldn’t say no to her father’s offer when at the end of winter he had settled all of the paperwork. So now, she was standing in front of the huge building that somehow bout amazed the girl and frightened her. Amelia’s eyes couldn’t be drawn away from the details of the statues and carving of the building, the monstrous creatures represented were bout amazing and horrifying. Taking a deep breath she made a few steps forth.

It was rumored, that only the ones who are truly worthy can enter unharmed, or was it ‘the ones invited? She couldn’t remember, but she had entered the institute for the first time of her life she was happy and a slight bit calmer. But the huge grounds that were filled with statues of wizards and all in all, it was rather beautiful in its own way. However, she was still worried. Even worried enough to leave, but before she lost the last bit of confidence and flew away, there was a voice that called for her.

”May I help you?” came a strong voice of a man form behind Amelia. She quickly turned around, to only face a man of middle age. Dark hair and fine clothes, but that didn’t catch her attention first, what got to the girl was his kind face and eyes. Something she didn’t really intend to see here. Was he a student? Could he be a teacher? The man looked a bit too young to be a teacher, or maybe she thought so because most of the teachers she remembered form Zeltiva were old?

One way or the other, she performed a small curtsy and introduced herself ”I am Amelia Cross, daughter of Dominick Cross…I~” the man just smiled, as it was clear that Amelia was lost in words. ”You must be here to attend the studies?” to this, she just nodded, unsure of what she should do ”My name is Luvet, I’m the morphing teacher of this institute, if you have any questions…?” ”It’s a pleasure, I am looking for someone to have my enrollment finished…See, I have the approved papers, but my father said I should have some formalities settled” Amelia finished as she pulled out the envelope containing her recommendation and the approval of the ebonstryfe. Luvet looked over it and nodded to himself. ”Very well, what kind of enrollment are you looking for, lady Cross? ” he asked, and then Amelia was truly caught off all guard.

[Amelia Cross]

”I’m not quite familiar with these…types of enrolment?””Well, to make it a bit more simple, what would you like to study?” Amelia had thought of this question for days, and now was finally the time to answer ”Hypnotism, Auristics and Reimancy””that would be an advanced enrolment, and it will cost 200GM to your father” ”I will pay for myself!” Amelia had no interest in letting her father pay for her studies, even though 200 gold was a lot, she didn’t wish to let herself fall under her father’s wing. ”In that case, you are allowed only a basic enrolment, costing 100GM and letting you study one subject for this season, your father has made this rule clear at the bottom of this letter” the man explained. Amelia was lost and confused, she wasn’t sure what she could do and was left with just one thing. ”very well, I pay for myself and study one subject” Amelia explained as she toke her purse and was about to start counting off 100GM ”follow me, we shall complete the enrolment somewhere else” and with that Amelia followed the man to a study.

”A basic enrolment for Amelia Cross, the season of spring 513.a.v….what subject?” It had been hard enough to limit her choices before, and now, at the edge of anger at her father, Amelia spat out ”Hypnotism” and so, Luvet wrote everything down ”Very well, 100GM” Finally Amelia counted down a 100 miza ”Now you have the rights to study Hypnotism here, you are also granted full access to the library and grounds, day and night so you may study as you wish. Keep in mind, if you wish to change the form of your enrollment, you have to do it next season, the same time you also pay ahead of your studies” the man explained and so, Amelia bowed and left. Knowing she will be coming back the next day, to start her studies.

As she waked further and further from the Institute, the thought of what her father had done to make her rely on him made her even more angered and even sadder at the same time. Her father was her god, but sometimes the things he did left her broken on the inside. She didn’t wish to be his pet, and so, she clinched her fist and decided, it’s time to get back to work! Amelia was determined to earn enough money, to pay not only for a basic enrolment next season, but maybe even more than the advanced one.

Her wonderings for a place to get back at her work, led her to the Nitrozian Plaze, where she sat down on a bench and looked around for a suitable client. Some looked too old, some others too smart to trick. And then she saw it, she saw a young man with smooth skin and black hair. The contrast it made with his skin reminded Amelia of her own appearance and so, she couldn’t help herself but to approach the man with a bright smile on her blood red lips. ”Would such a handsome young man be interested in a fortune reading?” Amelia’s smile only grew as she came closer to him, letting her eyes shamelessly wonder over the man’s body.

Finally, Amelia’s quite hungry eyes met up with her customers, who seemed to be doing quite the same thing ”so what will it be stranger?” her voice turning a bit more low, more seductive as she came closer and toke her cards out of her purse. ”I don’t trust in cards” came the simple answer from the slightly taller, dark haired man. Amelia just smirked and put her cards back away ”Then I could read your palm…?” She suggested. The idea seemed to intrigue the stranger and he was left with a bright smile”very well, where should we go? Or do you wish to speak of my future here? Where everyone is listening?” Amelia just shook her head.

”Follow me, Sir” Amelia offered as she turned around, while curving her index finger towards the man, indicating for him to follow.

[Amelia Cross]

As she heard the strong and steady footsteps following her, she felt a playful smile crawl on her face. Even Amelia’s own manner of walking became a bit lighter, despite the unpleasant start of the day. It toke no more than a few minutes for the bout to reach a distant bench, where the woman sat down ”You don’t seem to be he common fortune reader…” the man said aloud as he sat down next to Amelia. It was clear he knew what was about to happen as he instantly gave her his left hand. ”looks like you know how this works” Amelia stated with a smile. ”you could say I’m experienced” the man chuckled, his voice seemed distant though.

She held the man’s palm in her own, while the other hand ran across the man’s palm. Expecting it carefully. ”You have one of the most amazing lines of Destiny I have ever seen” Placing her own index finger at the base of his middle finger and running it down. The line was long and deep ”And it means….?” ”Oh sorry, It means you are determined, it helps you throughout your whole life and it will get you to what you wish…but this line…the one here” she stated, pointing at the small lines crossing the line of the man’s destiny ”You had a rough beginning, it runs deep in your heart and troubles you still” she was curios of what was this thing that hurt so bad, but she knew the man wasn’t interested in hearing painful things, or more precisely, she assumed he wasn’t.

”and what does it say about money?” Amelia was awakened from her own thoughts and theories; by just this little question…quickly she ran her finger across his palm once more, until she found the location of his wealth. Placing her finger between the thumb and index finger, running along the line until it met up with the line of his destiny ”You will gain, as soon as this painful part of your past is left behind, and the path is going to be rough. Your lines are a mess…and it is clear you have a work done by hands…they are so rough” Amelia stated as she began caressing his palm and wrist. The man didn’t seem to mind, but he didn’t also let her continue on for long. ”what more, what about health?” he asked, and Amelia obeyed the question. Quickly finding the line that went on from his pinky finger. It was unusual, unnaturally curved and splitting into two. One of them went on strong, while the other was much of a blur, but still visible enough. ”That’s odd, you have two lines of health…one is stating you are strong and fit, the other that you are weak..”

The words seemed to trouble the man as she felt him shake. Amelia didn’t wish to let the man go, he was easy on the eyes and she was desperate for something pleasant ”and it doesn’t cross with your line of love…it means you can live without love, it’s not crucial for you” this line drawing out a smirk from the man. ”nobody needs love, it’s pointless” he answered. It was clear he was about to pay up and leave, but Amelia didn’t let him. Instead, she dropped her eyes a bit. A slight smile of a timid girl, as she pulled the man closer by his hand ”everyone needs love, one way or the other” she explained with a bit of a drop in her tone, more silent, inviting the man to come closer ”what if I said, I don’t…?” the man questioned, to what Amelia just let her other hand creep up to his upper thigh. ”I’d say you lie…” the pale girl spoke, lifting her eyes up to meet the mans.

[Amelia Cross]

Even though his words were nothing of big importance, he thought of it just like any other man on the streets. A man who was a womanizer and wanted nothing but game, or was it event that he didn’t want that? She doubted, but it was possible ”foolish, I don’t need love…I crave nothing from ~” ”a fool, love is a dangerous weapon” Amelia explained, as she pulled herself closer to him. Amelia knew of love, she knows of hurt, she knew it could destroy. ”if one says he doesn’t need it, it means they have been hurt by it before”

Amelia could see her word touching the man, it means that she touched a weak spot. So he was, indeed hurt by it before, that’s why his line had twisted away from life and health, his mind has told him you can only get hurt by it. ”you’re a silly woman, what makes you think like that?” ”Because I have been hurt to, I know how ones palm changes after it, think of your hand as a map of your life…it changes when you go through harder times…just a little, but does” ”you don’t need love?” he almost teased her, and all Amelia did in response, was smile with her bright red lips.

”I don’t crave it, but I know I’m empty without it” she stated, only to feel the man’s free hand creep up to her waist, his fingers gently tucking on the fabric of her dress ”…that’s what I said, silly” ”no, you said you don’t need it…but I say I don’t want, while I acknowledge the need for it” the talk was getting them nowhere, but the voice of the man was tempting her.

Amelia flicked her eyelashes, pulling her own pale fingers up to the man’s face. She had been missing a touch of someone; someone hurt by love or just…someone. So long, that she couldn’t help herself. While her mind was telling her to stop, she wanted to try and have this man. Her lips barely parted as they softly moved ”I’m sure you need love too…” the man looked a bit confused, but seemed to catch the hang of it soon enough. He smirked, a sinful smile, felt like Rhysol himself was there, beneath his skin. ”what you are offering, isn’t love…” ”who said I’m offering anything” not even a question, just a statement, that was soon enough caught off by the man’s lips pressing against hers.


The moment was short, but enough for the craving to grow. When the kiss was broken, the distance between them didn’t grow, it shrank. Soon enough bout of them were able to precisely follow the breathing of the other. His free hand enwrapping with hers. ”you speak like a queen, of swords” Amelia was caught off at first, confused about what the reference was about. Until it was reviled ”the little fortune teller, managed to offer her skills to a fortune teller…” Bout of them just smiled at this. But they didn’t part. Not now. Not for the nearest bells.
