~ Four Winds ~
[A Fairy Tail based RP]
Meister Fran Boisse - I mean, Grandmaester Fran Boisse (the title would take a moment to get hold, he felt) - walked through the empty halls of the building he had just bought. It was relatively small, but spacious. In his hand he carried the charters from the city of Singspiel and the charter from the Magic Association, granting him the right to start a Mage Guild in this beautiful seaside town. The man was rather old, but he didn't show it. It was only his features that could not resist the passage of time. His posture, on the other hand, remained upright as he walked against the current. His eyes remained bright with a mischievious energy. His hands, crooked slightly by what appeared to be arthritis nevertheless moved nimbly as he drummed on his sides, spelling out an old song he liked.
"So... why did you do it? I never took you for someone who was particularly good with kids." a voice echoed down the hall. A lady in the doorframe, a sly smile on her face.
Fran smiled back right at her.
"Well, you know Selena, there comes a time in the life of a man where he feels he has to impart what he knows. I feel I now have enough with hair for the task." he said, pulling at thinning hair on his head.
"You have been gone for five years. Most of us thought you were dead. Where were you?" She asked, as she walked in, her eyes wandering around the room, her hand swatting away the rising dust.
"I did what we mages do - I wandered. We mages don't really have a place in this world. So we wander. But I'm getting old, Selena - rheumatism, arthritis - can you believe I now get up in the morning and my whole body aches? With a good walking stick I could walk across Freiburgs in a few days. Now I walk across town and I regret it by breakfast!" He shook his head disapprovingly. "I should have studied healing magic. I wouldn't have to suffer through old age!" he said, in good cheer.
"Well, I know a witch or two that could help you with that - can't say it will be cheap, though. ~ <3"
"Well, I better turn this guild into a proper racketeering scheme, then! Those bills won't pay themselves! Truly Boudin of Gold Gear knew what he was doing!"
They both laughed. Fran Boisse's tone became more serious.
"I will need your help, Selena. I cannot do this alone. I have other friends who will be joining us, but I will need you for this." He said, making direct eye contact with her.
"Of course. I am always happy to help." She said, warmly. She turned away, looking at the empty rooms. "What are you going to call it?"
"Four Winds. We come from all the directions, brought here by the winds of fortune. We might as well acknowledge our roots."
"Four Winds? I love it. How very much like you. ~ <3"
"Well, it never pretended to be able to top Flame Fire, but..."
They both laughed. Mostly at how Flame Fire was such a dumb name.
Premise
Magic. The World is filled with it. There is magic in all things – and humans are no exception to this. But not all humans can naturally use magic. About 10 – 15 percent of the human population can reliably use such a power. Fortunately (or unfortunately), you are part of that group. Magic users were once reviled, but nowadays they have gained mainstream acceptance and even admired. You possess a rare gift - how you use it is up to you.
You are young journeyman witch or wizard starting their apprenticeship in one of the many magic guilds of the land Freiburgs called Four Winds. The Grandmeister, Fran Boisse, has been advertising high and low in hope of attracting experienced mages and avid learners to the town of Singspiel, where he has made his his headquarter. A new life is about to begin for you - one adventure, and magic. It will emphasize personal growth and camaraderie in the face of danger and evil. Do you have what it takes to become a full fledge mage - and a full fledge person?
