After spending some more time with everyone, Barracker felt it was good time to depart from them, to tend to matters. He gave them all his goodbyes and Alison his usual salute, a fist to his chest. [Color=Green]“Farewell Alison, it was a pleasure to meet a new friend to the cause”.[/color] Barracker thought to himself. [Color=Green][i]Very nice woman, I do hope Alison does join Second Chance, as having someone of that skill set would be a massive help to party tactics and the war on Mytheria as a whole.[/i][/color] He went to his room to grab the books he had borrowed from The Academy Library, then headed out. [Color=Green][i]First on the list of things to do is to return these books back to the library and have a chat with the water mage, Neebs.[/i][/color] [Center]------------------------------[/center] Once he entered the library, Neebs met him, friendly greeting as usual on the front desk. “Well friend, you got through them books at quite the speed.” he smiled but there was a look of concern.

Maybe with this man’s help, it could be controlled, with the right teacher, this is worth another shot. [Color=Green]“I am a Paladin, but my domain is water. I have always had an ineptitude at controlling my domain. But in my last fight, something happened. It was as if I could feel the opponent through our mutual domain. It was like I had awakened. My control over water is minimal but I really believe that I should give magical study another shot.”[/color] Barracker looks at his fist, as he clenched it. [Color=Green]“Then I could be of more use to everyone.”[/color] In his mind, he imagined his power as a water beast what had awakened that day, a silent yawn, sitting up, head turning slowly to look right at the Barracker.

Neebs shared a look, Barracker could not tell what he would reply with…
