"Hmm, you might want to run away from those."
Before Alex stood two massive pillars, glowing with energy, vaguely purple tendrils licking at the air, two such tendrils started to converge in the air, forming a circle. Upon which were the words "Non-standard magical source: Identified" Internally Alex mused that's why he needed to leave. Suddenly alarms began to spring to life all around him, as guards appeared ready to apprehend the anomaly.
"Boy! Drop all your gear and surrender."
"Not a chance!" Alex and the Dragon retorted in unison, though the Dragon only in his head. "Don't fight them Alex, just run, use the teleport ring." The always calm voice spoke to him. "Where?! I need a focus!" He glanced around the room, it was apparently a control room for the Sorcerer, numerous screens showed dozens of other places, including one that caught his eye, a very grand building. "Just use that! We can get home just as easy. Hurry up!"
"We repeat, mage, drop all your gear and surrender or we will use force!"
"Nope" Alex muttered to himself as he palmed his belt "Connect, Please" And focused on what he wanted, the Teleport ring. Reaching across time and space, he pulled it from the sigil in the air, the guards surrounding him began charging their attacks, he hurriedly put on the Teleport ring and focused on what he saw on the screen "Teleport, Please" And in a flash of light was there.
Museum: Alex and Dragon Phantom
It was certainly a pretty place they had arrived at,plenty of decoration and exhibits, featuring dozens of peculiar artifacts. Alex couldn't help but be captivated by it all, and his Dragon didn't seem eager to urge him back home either. They carefully examined all that they saw, so many things they didn't recognize, but some things they did, they even found a handful of magical rings, though they were ones that he already had copies of. As he proceeded through the area, he found some people, nobody he recognized of course, but he had never really left his home much anyway.
"Alex I don't know if you noticed this but, look at their hands, no rings? no belts either, magic must work differently here" Alex agreed, and wondered what it must be like, he didn't feel like asking anybody though. He continued to walk through the crowds. Strangely enough, there seemed to be an aura about the place, Alex closed his eyes and focused, he had read about aura, but not enough to utilize it. Something just felt consistently off, and he couldn't place what it was. He opened his eyes again and looked around him. There appeared to be red streaks of color on the wall. As he got closer, he could feel a definite power coming from them. His Phantom had no answers, and he didn't want to touch them. Strangely enough, nobody else seemed to notice them. He followed the wall and rounded a corner, and around it appeared to be two people who actually noticed the cracks.
"Something about these means only certain people can see them, that or they are so mundane here that most don't notice. Those two seem to know, why don't you ask." Alex was hesitant, but he approached the two girls, one in green and another in white. Internally the Dragon was nudging him forward "Hey um, do you two know what there are?"
