The sun was reaching up toward its zenith, having been clawing its way up higher and higher into the sky since daybreak, its hot rays cascading down across Valheim proper as people bustled about to and fro their business in the city's various shops and districts. A day like any other, perhaps, despite the looming shadow of war that was encroaching on it bit by bit from afar. It was in that sense a place the twin-element mage felt more comfortable with than she had back on the road, or worse so back in the Mazy Hillocks, but all the same she had her own business to try to go about in the meantime. Adam had made her aware of certain libraries out there the other night, and  they had gone by the Academy to drop off the accursed cube not too long ago either, thus in particular Lillianna felt that it was about time for her to continue her personal education in some capacity by seeking out a library at the Academy. 

Her magic couldn't be left to the wayside, especially if she and the others were to stay alive doing a gold-ranked mission despite being total newbies to all of this. They'd lost two members of the party back in the Hillocks alone, and she'd nearly died (again) to boot! It was worth looking into things, trying to get a better idea of them, putting what she could into practice and trianing, etc, to ensure that didn't happen again....at least on her part if she could help it. Not that anything could prepare her for getting stabbed in the torso by a cyborg ninja with a water blade, a thing in particular which and whom she still felt a new and lingering grudge against as well. 

If nothing else, though, she hoped the visit would allow her to pursue some new literature and data that would assist her with regards to her magical capabilities in any capacity at all. That or at least get information that would be valuable for the Temple of Hades or the little 'pit stop' along the way she still needed to propose to the group at large later. 

It was with this in mind that the mage, having donned her proper robes and carrying her staff once again in her hand, approached the front of the Academy as the clock was hitting noon.
