His purposes in the city weren’t for sightseeing, though he did long to check the habitats around the city to see what kind of magical and ordinary creatures lived here, and what they were like. No, he was here for business purposes, as loathe as he was to admit it. Though, perhaps…? Maybe he’d have a chance to study later, after he’d finished what he’d come to the city for. He could only hope that he’d have the time.
Sighing, the man clutched one hand around the necklace of summoning keys he wore in a nervous habit, before releasing the keys and looking towards his destination. He took a moment here, to think of the best route, before his long strides began carrying him to the place he needed to be: the headquarters of the Rune Knights of Fiore. With any luck, this would be over quite quickly.
Determined to get his task over and done with, he didn’t pause in his strides, slipping through the mid-morning crowds of the bustling city with some confidence. He wasn’t sure of the best routes to the headquarters through the city, having never been there before, but he did have a decent sense of direction, and he had an idea of where they were located. Thankfully, people seemed to recognize the man had places to be, because many seemed to step out of his way as he squared his shoulders and pushed through the crowds.
It still took him a while to reach the headquarters, large as the city was, though he didn’t get lost too badly. Nervous impatience was beginning to rise in his gut as he approached the building, so close to his goal, but not knowing what would come next. It was only when he actually reached the front doors that he paused for just a moment, hesitating before he could push the doors open. What was he doing here, really? Would this actually help him in his goal?
The guild he’d previously tried to join was a bust, who was to say that the Rune Knights would be any better?
But no, he couldn’t think like that. He may have money, but he was far from the strongest mage out there. Being a solo mage was hard, and the Rune Knights were guaranteed to have resources he wouldn’t have access to, wealthy or not. They could likely also train him to be better, faster, stronger, and with his love of magic that awoke a hunger in him like no other. He still wanted to know everything he could about magic, and being a part of the Rune Knights could open many doors to him. He would do this.
Steeling himself, the young man opened the doors with his jaw set, a blank look overtaking his expression. ”Who do I talk to about joining the rune knights?”
