Chapter 5 x--
The Headmaster beamed a crooked smile, and knew that this student was going to be the earmark of the school. The recurring of the child's memory was definitely not peculiar, although quite certainly rare.
Valor had obviously discerned the Awakening, and was to break down the topic, as well as get him started within the world of Spectreun.
"Now that you recall everything, child, what is your name?"
"Christopher." He said it with such defiance.
Headmaster Valor rummaged around his office and found a vintage slip of paper and wrote things down, as many did in this world, and handed it over to Christopher.
"Take this, and head over to the Shopping Ward. You'll need a few things to get started, including a wand as well as robes and a few other accessories. After you exit the Tower, head straight until you see the tunnel with the words "Shopping District" above it. I'll see you around, Christopher. I can tell, you have talent."
Christopher beamed, and nodded to show his gratitude. He silently left without any trace of being there and slipped back out of the Tower. He walked for a short while and came upon the passageway leading him to the Shopping Ward. It was dark, but still discernible to the human - well, wizard's - eye. Christopher walked down the winding burrow with cautious steps, and finally arrived in the light yet again. There was the hustle and bustle of the city all packed into one district, and although packed, it developed a sense of community within Christopher. He surveyed around, and had established an impression of where to go when needed. Christopher had come across a jewelry shop, predicting they sold amulets and rings of that sort. Magical, of course. He entered, and faced an elderly, kind woman who seemed willing to help all.
"Hi, I'm uh, new, here. I uh, Ascended, I think it's called." The shyness of the boy peeked out of him.
"Oh, hello there, sweety. You've Ascended, correct? Since you won't be gaining any money soon, I'll give you the starters kit. You wont' have to go to any other stores, but I would recommend going around to see where things are located. Give me a moment, darling." She went behind the counter and through the door into the storage room, retrieving a small brown paper package tied with twine.
"Here you go, dear. Take this back to your dormitory and -" Christopher was a bit confused, he hadn't received a dormitory number yet. "Oh, you haven't gotten your dormitory yet, have you? No issue, but just a quick question, have you visited the Headmaster yet? Of course you have. All you need to do is go back to his tower and instead of going up, go straight to the Guidance desk. They will assign your dormitory and will give you the date to start your schooling. Good luck, dearie."
It was a game of tag so far, however, Christopher did not care. He sauntered his pathway back to the Guidance Tower and, yet again, slipped through the grand doors. He followed the vendor's directions and headed straight for a short while until stumbling upon a desk. There were two youthful girls there, chatting with eachother. Their conversation was cut off when I arrived, and the on closest to me had asked, "Hello there, how may I help you?"
"Hi, I just received my Ascension parcel, and the lady in the Amulet shop directed me towards here to have my dormitory assigned."
"Name?"
"Christopher."
"You'll need a last name, also. Give me a moment..." She headed over to a small device and whisked her wand over it. "SeaThief. Christopher SeaThief. Your dormitory is in the SeaGriffyn Tower and your dormitory number is 25. All you have to do is head over to the western campus - no worries, it's only a short while from here - and you'll spot it. Trust me."
"Thank you." He nodded his thanks as he always did and left the Guidance Tower once again.
With his newly acquired name, Christopher set off to the western campus. A small dirt path with rich soil had led him through the thick forest that was in the direction of the western campus. He passed a few benches on the way, and finally arrived to the campus.
Christopher was not only stunned, amazed, and all that, but a bit frightened. What stood before him was definitely not earthly, but certainly mastered by magic.
