Lyrian was running around frantically trying to accomplish everything that the Archmage needed him to finish. "If you don't finish by 3 pm.... I will fry your ears off!!!". The Archmage's words rang in his mind until he began to hear a beat, the beat was slow at first but increased steadily. Before long he was singing out loud to himself. He turned to find the Archmage standing and scowling. "So this is your idea of working hard? Singing?! *Slaps Lyrian to the ground* Enough of this childishness!". "But I was....." interjected Lyrian, "You were what!?!?". Lyrian kept his mouth shut because the Archmage had raised his hand again. "Nothing, sire....nothing."
Pleased at his exercise of power the Archmage cracked a smile. Lyrian noticed and scowled and him, the Archmage noticed this and began to beat Lyrian. Amongst his screams for help and frantic struggling to defend himself, the magistrate approached. "We are here to summon, Lyrian Danan, to active duty. Please come with us.". The Archmage spun around in anger "What have you done now? Why are you 'wanted' by the magistrate!! How dare you shame MY tower with your felonious behavior!!!" He raised his hand to beat Lyrian again but his arm was stopped in mid swing.
"Don't do that." the figured towered over the mage. "Oh and who are you to command me? I am the ARCHMAGE, none dare to speak to me in such a manner!!!". Before he could blink the Archmage was on the ground and the soldiers were pinning his hands down. "Where's your magic now??.... Old Man!" said the brute. The large man turned to Lyrian while still pinning the mage "Go to the recruitment center, register, we need your help Lyrian.". He was in shock "Me!?!?! Why am I so special?". "The goddess has blessed you and we have need of your skills. Go, we are gonna stick around and teach this old man why you never hit people smaller than you.". "But I'm smaller than you!! Isn't that a conflict of morals?" protested the Archmage. The brute nailed him in the kidney "I'm sorry were you saying something?". Lyrian practically ran to the recruitment center, smiling the whole way. "Serves you right you old coot!!!"
