"I will not deny that I, too, suffer from pride," Octavian said with a shrug. "Nevertheless, I strive to purge myself of it."

"That you acknowledge it is a great step in the right direction," Siber nodded, visibly relieved. "I try to keep watch on myself, but I can hardly be entirely sure that everything's okay," he added with a meek smile.

Kai'tai smiled at the other woman. "I'm sure you will." She said quietly. "Hopefully it will go better then when I did." Kai'tai said, looking down at the food on her plate as she ate.

"Wha' happened?" Kutom'bai asked curiously, running a hand through the messy purple hair on the left side of her head.

"Indeed, we must watch each other, lest we grow prideful," Octavian said, nodding. "An outside opinion is always more authoritative than one's own."

Unless it is an opinion of a filthy, heathen alien.
If anything, our teachers are likely to keep us on the straight and narrow," Siber added, downing a glass with juice and refilling it.

"It was during the Cataclysm." Kai'tai said, eating her food as she talked. "I was out scouting with some other youngsters in Durotar...and the world went all to hell." She shook her head. "One of them was trapped after a rock fell. All of us worked to try to move it but it wouldn't budge." She looked at her hands. "I remember growing so angry at the land, so scared for my family and my hands and arms started to glow."
"I still don't know what came over me, but I hit the rock....and it shattered, blew apart." She sighed as she closed her eyes. "And I killed my friend; the force of the blast pulverized him."

"
Listen not to the alien, Look not upon the alien, Speak not unto the alien.
Indeed. A iron fist is what is needed, at least at the beginning," Octavian agreed. "Later, personal freedom should be allowed for maximum effectiveness."

"I am no mere golem foolish mite! I am a guardian! A being of untold might. Centuries I have watched these doors day and night, and the passing of the few who might attain heavenly heights! Let your jaw stand agape, for timeless centuries I have lain awake! Now state your purpose, present your key, lest I cast thee from my sight!" the statue rumbled fiercely.
"Ah, yes, that's it exactly. You probably don't know this, but that is the key you need to enter through the door. Of course, anyone's will do, and I only need to see one to actually open the door. After that you only need to have one on you to pass through. You might feel a slight shimmering though, that's the barrier. It keeps out anyone without a key you know. Oh what fun!" the woman paused in her blathering to sigh."It's been so long since anyone's come by. It's been so lonely, with only the blowhard over there to keep me company.
"I heard that! You simply cannot appreciate the culture of an aristocrat!" came a resounding cry from above the boys dormitory.

Elysia Flameheart
Hall of Two paths
Battle Magic
Elysia put her spoon on the table and turned her eyes of the strange stew for a momment to speak.
"It seems most of us found our powers in conflict, I can say much the same, by all means, I should be dead. All I did was grab a sword off a footman in the middle of our caravan, I don't know what overcame me, I didn't remember much and it still puzzles me to this day, How did I, merely a 14 year old elfling, somehow kill a Death Knight? I suppose all I remember was getting on his back and swinging it at him, Must have took himk by suprise."
Elysia looked down, seeing her reflection, remembering how she cut through half of the Death Knight's neck before a ghoul nearly killed her. "Indeed, I just witnessed the death knight kill my father along with 2 or so others who had been bunked with us during our escape, I suppose I forgot what was going on and just ran at it while it was busying raising them. The ghoul was about to gore me when a swordsman came and fought it off. He died too, Death knight did that much before finally falling down."
She visibly saddened as she remembered the last parts of the tale "My mother raised me after that, my brother died of a heart attack from seeing the violence, My mother died 7 years ago, she must have gave up hope after all that, I was taken in by a Priest in southshore
OOC: Yes she killed a Death Knight, the actual events were that he killed her father, (A mage) and the two swordsmen bunked with the family while they were traveling south to find a refuge, she grabbed the sword and jumped on him while he was distracted raising them to undeath. She did infact cut his protected neck halfway through, before the ghoul grabbed her, threw her off and was about to impale her when a swordsman heard the commotion and killed the ghoul. The death knight then aimed a death coil at him and killed him before succumbing to his half-decapitation

Kimberly Fraser
The Hall of Two Paths
Kim sat mostly silent, shovelling all manners of food into her mouth and grunting occasionally in agreement or disapproval of the conversation taking place. Between a pork chop and a roasted carrot she swallowed, looking around.
It seemed most of the others had either done something extraordinary with their powers already, or trained for many years with weapons or fists. She'd be at a disadvantage, clearly. In fact, the closest she had come to fighting was chopping wood. And trees. Hopefully they weren't going to be limited to swords. The bow would likely not be part of the course, she guessed.
And all the others were bigger, taller, or sturdier. She looked to the flamboyantly dressed dwarf and the seemingly well-mannered orc. She had never thought things would become easy, but if she was to be the best there was some serious work to be done.

"Huh? What's going on?"
Whizz went to the deck of the ship, hoping to find an answer.

"Dinnae play it down, right now yer prolly the bravest 'un here," Grintham clapped Androw on the back, " 'sides, as my uncle Ahzgar used ter say, smooth skin ain't what gets yeu respect and women, scars on the other hand..."
The dwarf let the sentence hang for a moment, letting the others fill in the blanks.
"Anyway, let's eat!" he added cheerfully, piling his plate high, "they say ye can tell the strength o' an army by the quality'a their gruel - the best armies get the kind'a stuff that'd strip the rust off yer boots an' make even the undead run in horror at the sight'a it - s'what keeps 'em angry and ready ter crack a few skulls, and knowin' that instructor fella we'd best make the most outta this."

Kazhra blinked, trying to think of a suitable response. Eventually the orc sighed and simply nodded, "that I am not," she agreed, with perfect - if somewhat stilted - common.

"Interesting..." Callyx murmured. Truly things weren't really kicking off the way they'd been planned. "What brings you here, might I ask?"
Perhaps that would open him up. Callyx couldn't afford to jump tables a second time.

"So you can't feel it then?" Kaestan asked the guardian, a grin on his face as he tapped on the stone. "Interesting, very interesting. Attempts at prose, anger... you sure seem to be an interesting fellow. Do you not get bored?"

"Oh dear," Violet murmured, exchanging a glance with Vera as she held out the orb-key. Her hand was visibly shaky - she just wanted in the room.

"Well," Meeba said with a smile, pushing her plate away from her. "I think I might wander to see where we're stayin', I could use a nap!" the gnome said with a grin, patting her round belly. "See you around lady, don't be a stranger!"

Kutom'bai frowned at Kai'tai before taking a large gulp of water. "Dat's too bad, Kai, but yah 'eart was in da right place," she said, slapping her palm against her chest a few times. She sat back and continued eating, listening to the various other's at the table share their story. The orc caught her interest - he was incredibly well mannered.
"Ah've been fightin' since ah was a pup," Kutom'bai said, deciding to jump into the conversation. "Got trainin' unda a warriah, ah spent every minute wif 'im from da time dat ah was leetle. Den one day, ah was fightin', goin' inta a rage... when ah was on fiya! Mah 'ole body, covered in flame dat did'na burn me an' ah did'na know why."
The troll blinked a few times, her hands in the air palm out for affect. "Den ah say, 'lemme practice wif' dis fiya' and ah did, side by side wif' mah swords an' axes."

"One key, coming right up," Eryan said merrily, taking out his orb and presenting it to the statue.
"You can see, right? Or sense somehow, whichever," he asked. "And Kaestan, are you sure you value your hand that little? Mister totally-greater-than-a-Golem here may be irritable."

"Thine touch and query are but repugnant japes. Boredom holds no sway on one so great! Now stow thine your babble! else never pass through my gate!" Growing silent, the scarred eye socket upon the thunderous face lanced a beam of light like a bolt of lightning to Eryan's key.
The woman's face smiled comfortingly, the snakes that made her hair rearing up slightly and looking down at the proffered arcane orb. "That will do wonderfully. Hold it still for a moment, please, I need to get a good look at it..." she trailed off into a sort of meditative silence. A beam of light streamed from the empty socket of her eye and connecting to the orb Violet held.
Arthur replied slowly, choosing each word carefully. "I came here to learn the finer points of magic. Books can only teach you so much, though I do intend to examine the ones this place has as well. What about you?"
