Arcanum 122 Oblivion War

"They've been talking for a really long time." Jay said looking at them.

"Professor Annabelle is a famous researcher so she's bound to be extremely interested in what Mr Balefire has to say." Grace replied.

"... Kind of weird being a hero but still choosing to live a quaint quite life." I said looking at him.

"Yeah..... That's quite rare..... Most heroes went on to do great things and were even allowed to live in Xoria....." Helen said also looking at him "Goes to show how humble he is…." She added.

"Imagine if he became a professor or even went on to a state researcher.... He could have probably produced even more great and amazing inventions." Jay added.

"To be honest all this is pretty impressive..... We don't have anything like this at home." I said to everyone.

"What do you mean?" Daisy asked looking confused.

"You know.....whatever it is that makes this whole place look and feel like another location." I answer Daisy.

"I dunno... if you had questions about Serra or some other religions I would know though....." Daisy smiled.

"I a.s.sume it's some sort of Artificing with Illusion magic... but the only form of illusion magic that I know that's tangible is Moon Elf illusion magic... and that's is only in the presence of a full moon..... So I don't even know how Professor Annabelle was able to replicate it." Helen explained.

"Yah..... This was one of the things we wanted to experience first hand." Grace smiled.

"I find it hard to believe that Elves wouldn't have this sort of stuff...." Jay commented rather intrigued.

"Ummm.... yes we Elves are more attuned to Arcanum then other races..... Every Elf can naturally produce magic in one form or another..... But Elves as a race see no use for Artificing.... they think it's an insult to generations of tradition." Grace answered obviously disagreeing with her peers.

"So you mentioned moon elves..... Are you and Helen a special type of elf.... as well?...." Jay hesitantly asked.

"Yes..... Grace is a Dawn elf and I'm a night elf." Helen answered with a smile.

"So..... Do you guys have cool things like you mentioned earlier with moon elves.... and Sun Elf blades?...." Daisy asked in excitement.

"Yes..... Night Elves can artificially creature an area of magical darkness snuffing out all types of light, and Dawn Elves can channel energy to produce a form of Sun beam..." Helen answered.

"Okay cla.s.s well done every! No ma.s.s city riots today so that's a win..... Although I can tell some of you got into a few sc.r.a.ps. She said looking at a few dirtied students." Professor Annabelle said to the cla.s.s. "I want you all to meet! Sooty Balefire one of the greatest Heroes and Chief Engineer of Xoria during the Oblivion War." She said smiling letter Mr Balefire walk forward causing everyone to gasp.

"Ummm..... h.e.l.lo everyone... I was never really good at speeches or addressing large crowd..... I actually prefer the quiet quaint life... but I want to thank you all.... looking at all your faces and the great people you will all become made everything during that dreaded time worth it." He smile taking a deep bowl in front of the cla.s.s.

The whole cla.s.s fell silent taking a deep bow in return feeling truly humbled by his speech. "No..... Mr Balefire... we are truly thankful for your sacrifice..." Professor Annabelle stood him up and bowed deeply. Making Mr Balefire to start tearing up, Mr Balefire and the scenery around us slowly faded into light particles and the world began transforming back to our cla.s.sroom.

"100 Points to Phoenix for achieving the goal of the lesson and allowing us to all meet a Legend...." Professor Annabelle announced to the cla.s.s wiping away a tear.

"Umm Professor?.... what did you mean by sacrifice?.." A student asked the cla.s.s.

"Maybe one day you'll hear his story and accolades in Mr Doddles History cla.s.s." Professor Annabelle smiled.

"What was sacrificed?...." I asked Helena, Grace and Jay.

"We're not sure....." They all replied.

"They say... Those who were too close at the epicentre of it all lost their sanity by even catching a glimpse of the humongous figure...." Jay answered.

"Yeah... there was tremendous losses... both innocent and solider lives....." Helen answered.

"Yup even Head Master Bran lost his wife..." Grace added.

"Ohhhh no...." I gasped in shock.

"Yes..... She was a well-known follower of Serra..... Apparently she was Serra's Chosen Champion." Daisy nodded, making me feel really uncomfortable.

"What happened to her?.." I politely questioned.

"If I remember correctly..... She and other healers were trending to wounded soldiers near the front lines... when a Shapling detonated itself inside a Triage centre...." Helen answered sadden from recalling the story.

"I see..." I nodded guessing a Shapling is something that can change its shape.

"It was truly a great loss...." Daisy nodded.

"Well should be about time for cla.s.s to end..... Make sure you all remember everything you learnt today..... And next week we will be learning about Gra.s.sland Creatures and how to deal with them." Professor Annabelle concluded the cla.s.s.

"We'll what you guys want to do for the rest of the day?" Jay said pulling out a notebook and began to note things down.

"Do you think the simulation room would allow us to watch some of the events during the war?.." I asked curiously as we made our way out of cla.s.s.

"Hmmm if headmaster Bran allowed the computer to collect his memories form the events then I'm sure it would be there..." Jay answered.

"Yeah.... but we need to look for Morgana first." Daisy reminded us.

"Ohh yeah she seemed kind of b.u.mmed out when we made plans without her.." Jay replied.

"Yeah..... Maybe we should be more considerate..." Helen added.

"You're right... someone's destiny isn't decided by their parents." Grace agreed nodding.

"You know what would be awesome though?...." Jay asked us.

"What's that?" I replied noticing his sudden change in mood to excitement.

"The Champions of Xoria." Jay replied in utter excitement.

"Ohhh my G.o.d... let's go!!! I'm sure the simulation room will have someone who's been to a live match!!!" Daisy answered in extreme excitement.

"Yes!!! It's decided that's what we're doing this evening!" Helena and grace agreed also leaping in excitement.

"Well let's hope we can find Morgana at dining hall...." Jay said quickening his pace to the Dining hall.

"What's the Champions of Xoria?.." I asked trying to keep up with everyone.

"Ohh my G.o.d... it's a yearly championship..... All the greatest fighters across the land to battle it out and be crowned the Champion of Xoria." Grace replied extremely excited.

"Who's your favourite?" Daisy asked Grace.

"Ashelia the Frost queen!! And yours?..." Grace asked Daisy back.

"Aurelia the Blade Dancer!" Daisy answered.

"Ohh yes.... she's so amazing both gorgeous and her finesse in combat is truly beautiful." Jay agreed.

"....... Would she beat Scarlet?..." I questioned noticing how much they adored her.

"...... Hard to say....... but Scarlet is special....never seen her or even heard her receive even a scratch from anyone…..." Jay replied.

"By the way..... Why is her skin naturally so impenetrable?....." I asked.

"No idea you're extremely close to her... maybe you should ask." Helen suggested.

"Yes I wouldn't mind learning that technique." Grace chuckled.

"How about Paul?.." I asked immensely interested in how he would size up against others.

"Hmmmm hard to say... very few people have seen him in combat.... he's mainly famous because of his accolades and myths…." Jay explained

"Of course if he competed he would win easily." Daisy yelled in his defence with complete and utter confidence.

"That is true.... No human has ever been able to kill a Dragon before... specially a Black Dragon." Jay answered.

"Also... his ability to make portals... I a.s.sume he can just banish people into another plane if he wanted." Grace added.

"Yeah.... there's no doubt he's formidable..... Nearly all the Elven houses respect his accolades and his abilities in spellcasting some say he must be part elven because he has such an affinity to so many school and types of magic.... so that's something. He's even rumoured to have studied under several Elven Tutors as well." Grace added.

"My G.o.d... what has he not done?..." I asked wondering.
