The days that followed, the weeks that passed.
Uneventful.
To the students that is.
Deep underground, past the entire height of the Elppa underworld.
There exists a underground complex, well, as much as a complex can be underground.
Within this mega sized complex, giant pillars tens of meters in radius stand, holding the city up.
The pillars themselves, are made of pure enchanted obsidian.
Obsidian? Obsidian. Though obsidian itself is weak, unsuitable for building. Obsidian is one of the few materials that can be enchanted with ancient magic.
If one were to look up the relevant history, you would find that flying obsidian cities used to be commonplace in the skies of Raskan.
How does magic work? Well thats for another time.
The underground city, filled to the brim with cultists, mercenaries, thieves and outlaws.
They congregate so as to be a part of the promised "new world".
A few months prior to this congregation, nine beings of great power appeared, they had the ability to draw intricate circles of light all over the place.
Magic.
Though it may seem pretty normal for a story of this type, the continent of Raskan never had anyone capable of using magic.
Anyways, the nine great beings gave promise of even greater power.
They promised riches and all the pleasures one might wish for.
Hooked and high on empty promise, drunk on baseless guarantees.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
"The rich, the poor, shrewd, the desperate and the truly desperate all have a place in the new world me and my subordinates are going to create! And YOU! Can be a part of it!", claimed the leader of the 'great' beings.
Why, why would anyone ever refuse?
Great beings of immense power who want to change the world for the better, great beings who would willingly let you, anyone, be a part of it and to top it all off, give you power akin to theirs.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

" We need to hurry up with the plan, else we lose the chance to cripple our greatest adversaries!"
" No, we need to slow down, no good will come from rushing headlong into enemy territory unprepared. We may have power, but a stray arrow would be the end of us,"
" Nezar is correct, we are not gods. After all this, we wont even be above average... Especially after the lords awaken..."
*multiple sighs*
" But Houst! If we let this chance slip, we may never be rid of the academy. No matter how many agents you have in there, it is a fact that the academy has the highest aural density! If may be one BIG problem or thousands of little ones! We would not be able to go against either, even if we raise an army!"
" Shut it Blair! The decision is final!"
