"I know that, A lot of masters are usually late nowadays" Ash says to dust sounding in a bit of a hipsterish but unemotional voice

Tatsuya had actually arrived before the others, but he had stayed silent the entire time. He would let the others choose first, unless one of the apprentices decided to choose him.

Gilford frowned, it seemed he had received a slow one the girl wasn't giving him a response. He looked around and noticed the boy he had attempted to recruit earlier and walked over, "You sure you don't want to join battleschool kid? It'll give you nice big muscles like me." Gilfrod said grinning jokingly as he flexed his rather impressive muscles.

Link would look over at Gilford trying to recruit the guy he seen him try earlier, he then would look at the other masters and stretch "ah man... this is as boring as I thought.... wish it would hurry up..." he says low to himself shaking his head.

Charles would just be watching the apprentices trying to see if any had what he is looking for.

Ash turned to Dust and said "Oh god this is taking forever, I wish it would end already" trying to Start a conversation due to the fact that nothing is really happening *This must be the longest Choosing Ceremony in my life*

Angus replied to Gilfrod's offer by extending his hand in acceptance. "I'd be honored to join Battleschool," said the tall lad. "I'll warn you now, there is a lot of room for improvement, but I'm willing to try my hardest to do well." He went over to stand behind and slightly to the left of the Battlemaster, and waited for the rest of the prospective apprentices to make a choice.

"I wounder why everyone is taking such a long time? Isn't this usually a quick little thing?" Dust can't help but to ask Ash lowering his ears. "Don't know." Golden chirped on his shoulder. 'I know that silly/" Dust told the bird.

"they used to be Quick, but a lot of people are trying to become Apprentices nowadays that we have to extend it each year" Ash answered Dusts question "I guess we might as well Leave and Begin training" Ash said to dust, Looking around at the Busy castle. *Every year more and more people come*

"Alright kid let's go, trust me you don't to start your first day of Battleschool on a gorged stomach as the rest of our trainees will learn soon enough." Gilfrod said with a wink as he made his way out of the castle and to the stables. "Lucky for you kid i brought two horses because i had a feeling i would find someone intresting. Get on and lets go, er you can ride can't you?" Gilford asked as he prepared to ride away.

Talh sighed. It seemed yet another year with no one interesting, perhpas some one would appear later in the year, he did need a chore boy after all.

Harbour slowly began to hobble his way down to the docks. "You can eat here, come down the the harbour in the morning and just ask anyone where to find me, everybody knows."

"Yes sir!" Jace said with a huge smile, walking over to the food table and preparing a plate. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to wait for the feast to start, but if he was he was sure someone would tell him.

(Alright SHABAM MAGIC GM POWERS)
The sun barely peeked its head over the horizon and gently kissed the land with it's morning light, all over the province life was waking up.

Harbrour throw a bucket of water on Jace, "Wake up lad, we ain't got time for sleeping"

Gilford slammed open the door to the barracks and yelled "GET UP MAGGOTS FIRST DAY OF BATTLESCHOOL STARTS NOW!"

Jace was having a nice dream, the captain of his own ship, discovering lands and skirmishing with other ships. And then he was drenched with water, plucked from hisdream and thrown back into reality, a reality in which he had fallen asleep on the beach after a long days work. "ARGHGHGH" He jumped up, now drenched in water, "Wait is this Saltwater?" He asked, trying to unstick his clothes from his body.

"What you mean you can't tell?" Harbour asked with a disapointed look on his face, "You should be able to smell the salt, oh well no matter, come with me. We're going to the warehouse." He grumbled as he hobbled away on his cane.

Ash was lying down in her bed in her room. the room was wooden and the room was very tiny, the sunlight had gotten through the window and Ash woken up slowly her hand covering her face from the Light she had gotten dressed opened the door to her room and sat down. and proceeded to make a sandwich and sit at her table and eat it.

Ashes house Doubled as a tiny hospital, Heck she was the only doctor in the entire City. and she wasn't really well Funded, today was the first Learning session with Ash and dust. Ash Ate half of the sandwich, *well just a tiny bit until dust arrives and we can start our first Learning session!, I am pretty excited* She thought, Normally Ash was a bit like a depressed robot, but today She was quite happy.

Angus nearly fell off of his narrow bunk when the Battlemaster yelled in through the door. He sat up quickly and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He had not rested well the night before, since he wasn't used to the cramped, uncomfortable bed. The other recruits were stumbling around, slipping on their trousers and tunics while trying to simultaneously make their beds. Angus joined them in the complicated effort, then followed the group out of the door.
"Well, good morning to you, too," said the tall youngster to the Battlemaster, passing by on his way through the door. "I hope you slept well. What is on the agenda for today?"

He sighed, "Well, I hoped you wouldn't ruin my morning with saltwater." He followed behind the old man, "A nice Freshwater shower wouldn't be quite so bad in the mornings." He grumbled to himself.

Dust watched as the sun rise more fearful then excited. He didn't have any money to pay the owner of the hotel he was in so he was going to be in debt. Again. Dust didn't like being in debt for good reason. He had looked around the room almost all night trying to find a coin. Something that would help pay. He couldn't find anything. The only real thing of value he has is Golden and Dust would never give her away. Sighing Dust stood wincing a little from the pain in his leg. He quickly gathered up all his things that he thought he would need. Going down he tried to get out without being noticed by the owner but did not succeed. "I hope your not thinking of leaving without paying." The owner said. Dust lowers his ears looking at his hands. "I kind of don't have any money... Hehe..." Dust said quietly. The owner gave Dust an angry look and Dust quickly got the message. Dust quickly left the hotel hoping that he could pay off his debt soon.

It took a while for Dust to find Ash's house and he had to ask a few people for help a few times. Dust stood quietly at Ash's front door before taking in a deep breath and knocked at her door.

Dust had tooken the last bite out of her sandwich. and heard a knocking sound coming from her front door, She smiles and gotten out of her seat and walked up to the door and Opened it using her right hand. *speak of the devil*. "Well just in the nick of time" She said to ash smiling

Dust smiles softly looking at the ground. Gloden flaps her wings a little before Dust asks "May I come in please?"

The Battlemaster, now speaking in a normal tone replied, "First things first, none of you know anything about anything ya got that?" One of the other students attempted to stutter something out but Gilford overrulled him yelling, "THAT WAS A RETORICAL QUESTION, THAT MEANS YOU DON't ANSWER IT. Now then first thing i like to do with fresh meat like you is see how much nothing you know." He said walking over to a cleary designated circle meant for sparring. He picked up a wooden sword and stepped into the ring. "Pick up any weapon you want and get in here one at a time, this won't take long." He gestured at the impressive collection of weapons, everything from daggers, to nagitas were assembeled here. One of the students confidently picked up a long sword and stepped into the ring adopting an obviously well trained stance. "Well looky here someone who thinks he knows something, come on then." The boy charged Gilford who easily dodged the sweeping attacks. After several more whiffed swings Gilford sighed, the boy swung in an overhand attack at him and he spun to the side and touched his sword to the boy's throat. "Next!" Gilford called out as the defeated boy walked away. There were a total of 9 students left who hadn't battled yet including Angus and they shuffled around nervously looking at the ground.

Habour grinned, "It's more exciting this way." he cackled as they made their to one of the bustling warehouses. "First things first laddy, you any good with knots?" he asked as the crowds parted for him to allow him to quickly pass through them.
