RE: Prism, The World of Magic
The tale of Ged the Affable, and his brother Smokey the Half Shown, begins with an invitation as well. Coming from the Family of Orphan Performers, they arrive at the concrete building. Tests are aced with Intellect and Friendly Nature, though the brothers themselves are split during the trials at the Pedestal.
Ged challenges a person to a game of Chess, to test the Mind.
Ged challenges a person to a game of combat, to test the Body.
Ged challenges a person to a game of hide and seek, to test his Soul.
Ged arrives at the conclusion of devouring the Mage Core. This is of course after saturating his body with Dew and exercising wielding the powers of the Core frequently. It tastes a little like an egg.
Ged exchanges the knowledge to the rest of the Initiates, gaining power that is nebulous and without purpose yet. At that moment of vulnerability, Yes comes out to congratulate them. Proud new mages for the Guardian Branch he happily states. This happy afterglow lasts for all of a few moments, before the whole of the room is introduced to the sky.
Green Mask, adorned with a mask of Green and a Dark Cloak stands above the shorn roof. Diagonally the cut of emerald beam had been, slicing so thin and fine that Yes did not realize that death was at hand. Head peeled and flopped to the ground, cut from top of ear down to jawline. The Initiates scattered in fear and awe. Ged said Hello.
Green Mask "Villianous Dogs, practicing magic for vile purposes!"
Ged "A new trainee, just started today!"
Green Mask "....? What? The information stated this was a training ground for a Terrorist Group named the Guardian Branch. That man there is a known collaborator."
Ged "I just got an invitation and swallowed an Egg or something. Do you have any tea?"
Green Mask invites Ged after a few more questions to a Tea party with his associates. They talk, and decide to take him along to meet Triumph. Triumph was a leader of the Draconian Dynasty, and could properly pass judgement by peering into this strange soul.
