Annie didn't know whether to be angry, relieved, insulted or entertained. This guy was like one of those walking entertainers that people on the street could just make fun of all day. She did have to admit, him calling her a worthless vermin and not worth his time did sting a bit, but when he started to roll his R's, the girl would try to contain her laughter. The child doubled over in laughter, giggling to herself while being unable to contain herself. "Hehe...Ah-I'm sorry. Just, when you roll your R's like that, it's...Wew." The girl's laughter did calm down after a bit before turning into some mild chuckles here and there. Once she had gotten it all out of her system, another mage would make themselves known and roll his R's as well, renewing the laughter of the child. Annie toppled over, laughing even harder now as she'd cackle it up, wiping tears form her face. "I the great Apotheosis shall rrrrrrremove you from the library! HahaHA!" The blonde witch laughed for another solid minute before finally digging into her pockets and producing a letter from the Council she had received just hours ago. The letter was the usual long winded official dribble, but the most important part would stand out from the rest, reading:
"From the Desk of the Council,
By the powers bested by the Council from Our Queen, we hereby appoint the young Annissia Eulris under the tutelage of the Sorcerer Apotheosis at the soonest notice. Failure to present thyself with one's appointed mentor in three moons from the appointed date shall have the student face charges up to, and including, expulsion from Arcana should they continue to disregard the official summons. Please note that the appointee, Annissia Eulris, has failed to attend to their appointed mentor 0 times.
~ The Council of Arcana
"Looks like we're stuck together, Apopo~ Official Council seal, official Council boring words, and official Council forcing me to be with the grrrrrrrrrrrreat and rrrrrrrrrridiculous Apotheosis!"
Browsing through each section from top to the middle, he had moments of mocking up stiff chuckles loud enough for anyone to hear; said chuckles sounding genuine by blondie's comments. โAnd he calls me a beast?โ Howling like a coyote every turn. He mutters, tapping his gloved fingers against the wooden material as several large tails stretches out, grabbing books while flipping through them; pages to pages. Ignoring any insults remarks, the conversation was intriguing--- slightly turning his head to the side, listening and looking at the paper she was holding. The Queen bestowed him an appointee by the Council, whenever he likes it or not. Interesting. โ Looks like your fate is sealed, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrand Strrrrreet Master Apotheosis so, I suggest focusing on your new lackey than printing out more clever titles for me. โ
โจโพโจApotheosis snatched the page out of her hands. The parchment was excellent and the seal seemed legitimate. His eyes widened in shock as he read the brief message indicating that he was indeed assigned an apprentice. When Fannar spoke up again and continued to mock him he just jabbed his finger in his direction. "Silence! Just keep your fleas off of me and I might tolerate you a little while longer." The sorcerer dusted off his shoulder in a dismissive way before walking through the door. He stepped out only briefly to follow the noise he heard. He looked at Cecilia with daggers in his fiery orange eyes. "Be quiet! I'm doing research! This isn't a concert, you know!" He erupted in frustration from his new "student" stoking his fiery temper. He turned back and slammed the door so as to not hear any more music.
โจโพโจThis girl laughing at him constantly was really starting to grind his patience into dust. He huffed when she called him ridiculous and continued mocking his voice. The sounds of laughter, mocking, chiding, and music were overwhelming him. All he wanted was quiet time in his library to read through his one true obsession, the draconic lore. "Shut up, stupid girl! Make yourself useful and brrrrrrew me some root tea. Use the laboratory over there to remove any tannins. If I taste even a single tannin then you will be rendered to ashes!" The wizard pointed to the alchemy section where she would find the ingredients she needed. If she read from the alchemical recipe book she would find out how extremely difficult removing tannins from tea is even with magical ingredients. It would take a long time and a lot of trial and error to perform it perfectly and it was actually a worthwhile skill to learn. Meanwhile, Apotheosis would return to deciphering draconic codes.
"With the power of Music, we can unite the world!" Cecilia Villanova | Level 1 | โ | Witch | Sorcerer | Artist | 100 / 100 Mana
All of these missions were either boring, or well out of her league. There had to be something worth-while. The young rocker would continue to absentmindedly play as she moved along the corridor, reading each of the postings as she went along. That is, until one incredibly rude individual burst out of a room, yelling at her to stop player. Cecilia fully understood that some people needed peace and quiet to concentrate. She also understood manners.
The initial outburst caught her attention enough to stop playing, but that was only so she could adjust her settings to the loudest, crunchiest, most distorted sound she could muster. "So much for manners maketh man, I guess." Cecilia began walking with purpose towards the room the man burst out of. She wouldn't stop walking, but she would raise her arm up as she neared the door. Upon arriving, she'd bring her guitar pick down and unleash the loudest power chord she could. There were missions posted elsewhere anyway, so she'd head there. Anywhere but here, really.

The parchment was ripped from her hands with posthaste, Annie smirking up at Apotheosis with the look a child gave when they were clearly up to something that was no good. Or mainly, when they knew they were winning this argument against some fruity fireball loving sorcerer in the Queen's own castle. That look on his face as his eyes registered the official detail on the Council parchment in a silent fury. The other animal witch seemed to mirror her sentiments by joking about the great and powerful mage in front of her, causing Annie to snicker to herself more as he stomped out of the room to yell at whoever was causing that disturbance on the window. After that little disturbance was made and he continued his rampage down to his new protรฉgรฉ, Annissia would find her first task of being an apprentice: brewing tea.
How very informative and pushing her magical aptitude to its limits...
But she didn't let part slip out. "Brewing tea, huh? You're the boss!" she smiled ever so innocently and was soon walking back towards the alchemy section of the library. She had never really dabbled into parts of alchemy, usually because it involved a lot of reading, and she'd rather just burn stuff than learn about magical circles and equivalent exchanges. The star child arrived and began to- Hey! There was a recipe here! Take that learning! Annie opened the recipe book into the root tea page and read from the contents within. Her spirits were put to the test at how lengthy this process was for even a cup of root tea. "All this for a cup of tea. He better show me how to incinerate a building for working on this..." she muttered her herself. She'd dance all around the lab section, searching for all of the ingredients as each was collected from a large metal case. The last one, where the roots actually came from, would be atop a mountain of cans and cases with Annie huffing to herself. "How the hell am I gunna get it if it's up there?" she asked, only for a loud music note to blast from nearby, sending a couple of tins off from the top. Annie dodged the glass falling and opted to catch the more important ones with one hands. "Thank you, music person." she said to herself and got to work.
The process was pretty interesting all things considered. Brewing up stuff like a classic witch tending to her cauldron! Water was added, awesome! Pour roots in and- "Tannins?" she repeated, looking over the spellbook. "How am I gunna get all of them out? That's gunna take foreverrrrrrrrrr." The girl whined. A thought crossed her mind of flying out of the castle and going to have her fun somewhere else, but alas, she'd have the Council on her tail. She'd groan and work on her tannin removal skills. It was pretty damn hard all things considered. Even with magic, it took a great deal of focus to really get it all out of there. Annie filtered, enchanted, did everything the book said to do. Then came the moment of truth. She brought the cup to her lips and took a sip. "Bleh. I don't even know what a tannin is and I can taste it." She dumped the thing and sighed. Time for a second try.
A third. "Bleh, too bitter." Then a fourth. "Just watery." Fifth try's the charm? "Not it..." Sixth? "Damn it." "s**t.""Damn it.""Tastes like piss..."
Time had become an enigma for poor ol' Annie, and by the time she had brew her ninth cup of tea, she was ready to call it quits for this recipe. She had taken extra care to get as much tannin out as she could and would pour it all in a cup for her mentor while he was off looking on porn mags or whatever old farts did while in the library. Apotheosis would then see Annie walking up with a pot and cups of the desired root tea. "Got your root tea, Apopo." she said happily, pouring a cup for him while musing to herself. "That was actually pretty cool. Makes ya wonder what else an alchemist can whip up."
โ As soon as I start seeing real sorcery from you, send someone into eternal chaos or pull a damn rabbit out from your sleeves, then--- no. โ
As much as this back-and-forth banner is quite entertaining (to a degree), loudness after loudness was starting to grate the oculist the more it goes; from Apotheosis' low patience, whoever is outside playing a guitar and etc-etc. Despite those pesky things, one thing matters is that book. Placing everything back, Fannar just sighs; before pulling away, a loud rift rumbled the room toppling objects after objects as one item bounced off and falls from. Just mere inches from hitting the man, a tail stops it's fall, coiling around as it brought up to eye level--- a coincidence that it's the book he's been looking for.
โ Hm.... unnecessary.... โ It's unsure if he's graceful or annoyed.
โจโพโจLike nails on a chalkboard, the sounds Cecilia was playing sent a chill up his spine. All while he was trying to do his research! Just as he was getting engrossed in the material, the loud music was taking him out of it. Apotheosis would not stand for it. The door to the room flew open again as Apotheosis began breathing fire. "Silence or so help me I'll have you drawn and quartered in the Queen's Palace! You'll beg for death to save you!" Fire was leaving his throat through the excess mana used through his rage. A small amount of fire would fly toward Cecilia but it was only enough to singe her hair or some other minor injury. His wrath was extremely theatrical as he turned back to his research into the draconic lore. When he noticed that Fannar was looking at a particular book, Apotheosis glowered at him. "I didn't know you could read. What do you want with that book?" Above all, the sorcerer had an insatiable curiosity and obsession with knowledge.
โจโพโจAs he read from the dragon lore, he used arcane magic circles to decipher more from the text. He only gave a few cursory glances to make sure that Annissia was not going to cause an explosion. "Watch your language, girl." Apotheosis gave a snooty expression before returning to his research. After a few more minutes, the tea was ready and surprisingly smelled rather good. Apotheosis had used the alchemy station for this end before and would not have his high tea any other way. He removed a magic circle from his hand before lifting the porcelain cup and sipping. He expected to reprimand her for not following the instructions and for being too much of a novice. Shockingly, it was the best tea that he had ever tasted. There were no bitter nodes to it at all and it did not even need sugar. His face lit up as he enjoyed the root tea with deep gulps. "This is..." Before he could speak genuinely, he consciously changed his facial expression back to being stern. "Adequate." He poured himself another cup immediately and had a difficult time waiting for it to cool off. "I suppose you can have some too." He poured a cup for her to drink as well before returning to his research.
โจโพโจSuddenly, his magic unlocked a secret from within the dragon lore tome. His arcane magic suddenly created a map of Arcana made from fiery orange mana that was astrally projected onto the ceiling. Apotheosis looked up and mused over that which he did not expect. "Fascinating..." The light from the map was almost blinding and would certainly catch the attention of all in the room. He pointed up at different sections of the map before taking notes. "It looks like there's something of immense arcane importance in...Vathek. Quickly, girl, draw this." He handed a blank book and stencil to Annisia and pointed at the section of the map she needed to draw. He rubbed his chin as the map zoomed in and he examined it while staring up at it. "That must be the location of the next volume. Excellent! Since none of you peons are in the know, if the Grand Coven finds every one of the lost volumes of this book then we might be able to unlock immensely powerful sorcery." Apotheosis showed them the book by pointing at it. "I must go there for my next mission and I suppose some of you may come along if you desire." Apotheosis stated reluctantly as he waited for Annisia to finish drawing the map for him.
"With the power of Music, we can unite the world!" Cecilia Villanova | Level 1 | โ | Witch | Sorcerer | Artist | 100 / 100 Mana
Cecilia turned around just in time to see the fire head her way. She had to bend backwards for it to dodge her, although it caught a few of her hairs that were left from the momentum. Now she was angry. She'd be damned if she wasn't going to get an apology at this point. Quickly snipping off the singed ends, she headed back towards the room the arrogant man had come out of. Her guitar was re-slung on her back. Her hands balled into fists, she stomped her way to the door before barging in, just to hear them talking about a mission.
"Did your parents actually teach you any manners, or do you just get everything you want by yelling?"Her voice was just below yelling. "Can't ask politely for someone to stop playing, no, gotta yell at the new girl. Don't even ask if it's a nervous tick or something like that." She continued to stomp her way to Apotheosis, her eyes locked squarely on him. "Go ahead, have me drawn and quartered, if you can. Something tells me you talk a bigger game than you actually have." She stopped just a few feet before him, her eyes glaring daggers at the man. "I'd apologize for originally interrupting, but you lost that respect when you decided to show your a** as a first impression."

If there was one thing that Annie wasn't too keen on, it was having a babysitter. So the little comments about watching her language were a bit unwarranted in her own book. She was much older than Apotheosis, even if she hadn't already looked the part thanks to that mystery brew that her mother had made her drink all those years ago. Not unless this flamboyantly fire loving warlock was old enough to be her great granddad or something. Still, it was better than getting thrown out of Arcana so Annie guessed she'd have to put up with it for now. The (not so) magical girl stepped up toward the sorcerer and presented the tea to the man. After a bit of putting around with his magic circles, he'd raise a little hand to pick up the cup that was poured for him with Annie staying by, putting the tray down away from his studies before then eyeing the door. In case things turned sour and he got all fussy with his tea, she would need a quick wayt to zoom out and hide in one of the Council's rooms where she could plead her case that her mentor had gone crazy and was trying to kill her. Maybe embellish it a little and hope she could get out of this mentorship thing as well. But after a small pause, Apotheosis seemed to find the tea pretty good in his book. His adequate rating made Annie smiled to herself. Not too bad, Annissia~ I wonder what other stuff I could make with that little alchemy set... Her eyes gazed over to the work station for but a moment before being interrupted by the man pouring a cup for her. She'd pause, as if amazed by his generosity, and would accept it with a tip of her hat. "Thank you." Annie said genuinely while bringing the drink to her lips. It was sweet, a nice sort of taste that she definitely could find herself drinking more of if there wasn't any of her preferred drinks around. Still, she waited for it to cool down before finishing.
During which, the girl's eyes would attach themselves to the sudden jolt of magic that had come from one of the tomes. A grand map of Arcana would be shown on the ceiling of the room as everyone swiveled their heads up to study it. Annie had to squint her eyes not to go blind staring into this madness, but would remain enthralled either way. "Huh, that's Arcana, right? So what you need is somewhere close by?" She asked before being handled the materials to draw the map. She craned her neck up and would quickly jot down a rough estimate of where everything was in the map. It wasn't as detailed as the one Apotheosis's magic had unlocked, but would be good enough if they couldn't take the book with them. The girl spent a few good minutes sketching the details that they would need to navigate their way through Vathek and towards that little book of his. After Annie was done, she presented her map to the mentor. "All done. This should be good enough for us to find our way." she said before then giving him a confident nod at his little allowance for people to attend. "Sounds like fun! Way better than just sitting in here all day. Count me in, Apopo~"
Once again, the witch calmly ignored the uninterested screaming match between Apotheosis and the music girl before answering his question. As such, a normal person would've pulled a hair-triggered moment. not bothered by his lack-of-basic-knowledge comment directed on Fanner: almost getting sad at this point. โ None of your concern though, I doubt it'll be to your.... highest interest. It's an information book about every demon tools that was created on Earth. Despite my discovers, there's one passage which prompt some... likely in my eyes. โ He stated, tossing the book in the meanwhile. โ The Book of Eibon. I only know surface level of it--- โIf only I received the real one, I can maintain true power... That last part was a mutters, squeezing his fist tightly-- whenever it's in frustration or excitement.
Almost in an instant, magenta orbs gazed over towards what was making this unusual noises right before the room light up as heavy amount of mana energy shot upwards onto the ceiling. Within the fiery-orange nearly matching that sorcerer's magic scheme, a map was being constructed. Now, this is uninteresting. His eyes blinked briefly, reverting into a pitch-black tone to avoid blindness. At first, it WAS uninterested.... until the mention of immensely powerful sorcery--- if so, Fanner can unlock some interest powers hidden under. After Apotheosis declared his next mission pondering anyone within the area was joining along, the fox just yawn. โ Finding these volumes peaked my curiosity... and as long as you simple-minded don't get in my way too much, I'm in. He then turned his attention towards Cecilia. โ How about you, punky? โ
โจโพโจApotheosis's rage only grew when he was interrupted by the guitar girl again. "There's no such thing as a nerrrrrrvous tick for playing an instrument, you moron!" The sorcerer fully engaged in the shouting match with the musician witch. When she mentioned that he was picking on the "new girl" he gave a genuine reaction of surprise. "New girl? I thought you were a boy..." He trailed off in thought before he went back to being annoyed by her. "Do you ever stop making noise?!" Cecilia's point was completely lost on the arrogant wizard. He stepped away from her and just started childishly giving her the silent treatment.
โจโพโจApotheosis went back to looking up at the magical map and analyzing it. He stopped fuming and laughed haughtily when Fannar mentioned being interested in the Book of Eibon. "Pfft! What does an occult witch know about the Book of Eibon? Let alone even a simple demon tool." Apotheosis found the concept to be absurd considering that demon tools were the stock and trade of sorcerers, the best witch type. Once his apprentice had the map ready he shut the book and began packing up his satchel to leave. He grabbed his staff before looking around the room one last time. "Come along if any of you must, but I don't need help. Unlike the mutt here, I actually have experience in finding map fragments to the Book of Eibon." Apotheosis spoke to Fannar and Cecilia before waving Annisia to follow behind him.
โ Uh-huh.... As usual, he needs to return to grade school or use a better dictionary. All I'm hearing a broken record and it's quite irritating. โ He said back. Fannar only half-lidded yawned at the respond: not caring nor listening to: he knows the tool works for sorcerers/sorceress, but maybe; one can crack something hidden inside, besides-- the occult wants to know more about the Madness of Knowledge. โ Anyone can use it. Now that's something a simple fairy caster shouldn't worry or ask. I suggest you watch that tone when it goes without saying that I hold the very foundation of the Coven. A rather... staying incognito than blinding walking around like a sore nail. โ
Not wasting time standing around, the short witch followed behind Apotheosis.
"With the power of Music, we can unite the world!" Cecilia Villanova | Level 1 | โ | Witch | Sorcerer | Artist | 100 / 100 Mana
It didn't take Cecilia long to realize she was being ignored. "Figures, guy gets told off and just ignores responsibility instead of taking accountability." She shook her head and then turned her attention to the green haired individual that had addressed her. At least he excluded her from the 'simple-minded' insult. "Y'know what? I think I'll gladly take you up on that offer. To be honest, my aunt just kinda left me here, so, I don't really know what's what around here." Cecilia would follow Fannar, although the hot-head would take charge. It seems the two shared a goal, but for completely different reasons.
