My name is Antonio sevenstars and I am a soldier of the guard corps. I am also a formation mage. Well, I am sure that is surprising to hear. A guard is supposed to be diplomatic, capable of threatening our enemies without starting a war and talking to our allies. It is a subtle job, with subtle requirements. And being is subtle is the one thing a formation mage is not capable of. We can raise magic barriers the size of a small country and create ships that can fly, but being subtle and non-threatening is the one thing that I don't think we have ever cracked. And thus I begin my job as a guard. Whether it be escorting the suicidal scholars (don't get me started on them), tending to our treaties or hunting our enemies. (The one thing I might be able to do well.) Note - By the way my publishing schedule is going to be Monday-wednesday-friday for the forseeable future.
