LEARNING MIDIAN ; job

Fair had been so out of touch with the outside world, she felt like an alien everywhere she went these days. After her previous guild (Crystal Swan) got disbanded for reasons unknown to her, the sorceress had gone MIA for what felt like centuries. She needed the get back into action, and make sure she was not forgotten, like many other mages she knew of once. The guilt of not being able to save the guild that she used to be in was overshadowed by the death of her beloved aunt, who helped her mom raise her. The sadness was a bit much for the emotional (at that time) girl. Furthermore, the lack of practice with her magic seemed to have had an effect on her health. She lost a bit of weight, and her hair turned white, which was something extraordinary for her. Though she ate her way back to her usual weight, there was no helping the change in hair color. She had no idea how to reverse it back to normal and did not feel like dying over the white. Henna couldn’t cover it, so she automatically assumed there was no way any other kind of dye could. This was of course, nothing important, because she felt she looked as fabulous as she had always been. Even her eyebrows turned greyish, which she found hilarious. Add wrinkles and saggy breasts, she would look like her seventy-year-old version.

Trying to find some way to occupy herself for the time being, Fair looked over at the jobs in her new guild—Silver Wolf. There were a bunch of guild jobs and she had done none of them, of course, since she was new. The variety in types of assignments she saw intrigued her. She was feeling like trying out new experiences, so she decided to take a basic language course. The details given included the personal information and qualifications of the linguist, probably for validation. Among the many choices of languages she could learn, Midian caught her attention. She had never been to the country, but she was definitely interested in the culture. Learning the language was surely the first step to further in-depth studies of the Midian ways. It wasn’t just the country of Midi she was interested in. The curious sorceress sought knowledge of the outside world, outside being everything beyond the borders of Fiore. Certainly, as a citizen of Fiore, she had knowledge of her homeland’s various cultures and traditions. She simply didn’t want to live in an oblivious bubble, inside her own country. Traveling all over the continent (first step), was part of her future plans. She would surely aim for all over the world if she had the funds for it, but that was just a dream for now.

After she signed up for the class, Fair made sure to read a bit on the background of Midi so that she would be kind of prepared for it. Since she had all the time in the world, she even went ahead and listened to some Midian songs, so that she would be somewhat familiar to the sound of the language being spoken. She ended up being the most attentive in class, sitting at the front row. The linguist was a slim, dark-haired lady who had a strict look the whole time. Anyhow, she was able to get a basic understanding of the language, and that was enough for this class. Fair wasn’t the type to fall asleep during things like classes because her ever-curiousness wouldn’t allow her to trade wasted time sleeping with new knowledge and experiences. She gathered her notes after the class and returned to her humble abode. She was ready for a more advanced class now.
