_______________________________________

I follow behind the middleaged man closely. Wondering what kind of test lies ahead. The middleagedman flipped trough the paper form which i filled before.

"You know kid. There was a time when man can build a tower that reach the skies, a golden time where everyone prosper. Even the mightiest beast submit themself before human." The oldman flipped the paper. "Do you know what it is that make human can achieve that?". The middleaged man stop and look at me. "Its wisdom. Not arms and sword." he wait me to answer while keep staring at me.

...

"Yes maester" i answer him to dispel the silence that lurking arround.

Another times passes inside silence.

...

"Is there something wrong maester?" I ask to him.

"No, nothing. Your form is filled perfectly. Except you fail to write your names here." The middleaged man point the forms at his hand. Then continue to take the set of keys from his belt.

"Anyway. You should remember too. Wisdom without act is a dream. And dream doesnt lies in reality. You need arms and power to manifest your wisdom." At this point the middleagedman already open another door. "Go inside. The first test is to test your physical ability, i'll wait at the end of the path."

I then walked inside. Ahead of me is a large hall. About 20 meters in wide and 40 long. Accross of me a door that supposed to lead to the next test lies. Before that rows of human sized doll stood there, blocking the way. Each one wielding a different wooden weapon snd each row have different colour of dolls. At my side a half broken rack filled with different types of weapon lean on the wall.

The first row of dolls eye lit up. And start to move to me. Weapon held up.

Sigh. I took one of the weapon that closest to me. Without even look at what i hold. I block the dolls strike and counter it. making the first doll stumble backward then dashing toward the second row. This time the dolls speed was faster than before. i just dodge it then dashing again. The same as before with a little variation according to the condition. i keep rushing forward before suddenly the light turn off. Sigh. I consider to use luminate magic to light up the place but then stop chanting halfway. I decide to play along with the test.

A weapon brush past my side. While another blocked by my weapon. I close my eyes, took some space from the source of the noise while heighten my sense and took a stance. Weapon on my waist. Hopefully the thing that i hold as weapon can endure this.

I do a slash while move forward to the doors. Just pure power and speed. I can feels the dolls construct scatter and break upon contact with the weapon. Uh, i hope they dont ask me to pay for the destruction.

The moment i touch the door the light turn on again. I just proceed forward without see the destruction behind. For fear about how much i should pay for it. I then open the door.

"Impressive kid. very-very impresive" the middleaged man says to me the very first time i open the door while scrabble something  on my paper form. His face look shocked. "With this test alone i can assure you that youll enter the elite class of the knight." He said while keep scrable on the paper. then he stood up. "Now let me prepare the magical aptitude tools. Wait here.. and interesting choice of weapon you can left it there" the middleaged man point at the rack next from the door before vanish into the room.

Ups. I put back the now-dented-metal-rack-leg that i use as the weapon on the rack. Sigh.

A few metal clashing noise sounded before he call me in. Inside a big round white sphere float at the middle of the room. "Put you hand here, relax and dont resist whatever happen. Its perfectly safe. The more area that change colour the bigger your magical aptitude"

And suddenly the whole sphere turn black. Err should i say ups or do usual sigh. I look at the middleagedman that now have slack jaw. "Maester. Is it done?".

"By arcanus. You are a future genius kid. Your magical aptitude is the best i have ever seen." He then start to scribble again on my paper form. "Wait at the room next door. I'll call lady agnis to do your last test." He then walk toward the doors. But suddenly, he stop next to me. His face look like contemplating wheter to continue talk or not. But in the end the middleaged man decide to talk. "Young man. Remember the wisdom thing i spoke before?. The wisdom without act is a dream. It wont become a reality unless you have power to realize it. But power without control is disaster. You should think about it. Go. Wait at the room next door."

I then move toward the spoken room. This room isnt spacious but neatly decorated. A rug with exotic pattern lies beneath the table.

I sigh. Try to remembering and process the middleaged man confusing word from before. It almost an hour before the door get open and an oldwoman walk inside before sitting at the chair accross of me. Her eyes open look at my direction. But it focuses on something else. whatever it is i dont know. In the end i to turn my head to look behind me, and i see nothing.

"Umm maester." I cant help to ask.

...

"Maester." I repeat.

"Uhm, yes youngman. Pardon this oldlady. Now where do we." She said while flipping my paper form. "I'm called lady agnis. What is your name youngman." She ask while reading my form slowly.

I flinch. Somehow after few days get asked for name and cant answer it i feels burdened. It feels not good.

"i.. i have no name maester agnis" i answer her truthfully.

"Nay. name is not important young man. Now let me begin the last test. Test of soul. Just relax and follow my word. Hopefully you can gain something important from this test."

She then took an chained pendulum from her pocket. Then look at me before saying "may i?"

I took a sigh. "Yes maester"

"Now close your eyes and begin to relax." Lady agnis said. I managed to see the pendulum begin to swinging right and left. Before i close my eyes. "imagine a briliant white light surround you. Now follow my count and take a deep breath. Slowly. Within each breath youll get more relaxed.

(An: whoops. Dream theater. Regression. Metropolis 2: scene from a memory. )

One...

..

Two...

Her sound faded away as my surrounding get warped away into calm whiteness. Nothing else was here except myself. I drifting away. Float inside this calm feeling. Inside the peacefull i can smell the scent from a winter frost waft on my nose. And faint sound drifting from away. A familiar sound. "Go.. find a happiness my hero. I bless your path. As always". An image of a female face start to get clear. Almost visible. I can see her lips turn into a beautiful smile.

Then, suddenly the whiteness distorted again. Send me back to reality. the sound still linger at my head. A familiar sound from my memories. Accross of me lady agnis still hold her pendulum which now turn red from a heat. She look at me. This time her eyes focus on me. Then she spoke "who are you?".

"Who is she?" I ask back. A feels of impatient rushing over me. "Bring me back there" i almost yelled this times.

"Calm down young man." A powerfull pressure apply on me. "Now answer me, who-are-you?" She speak slowly while the pressure getting stronger

I clench my teeth hard. Strugling to breath. I'm to agitated to focus and counter the pressure. Then i decide to stop strugling "I dont know maester. Can you tell me" my voice turn to plea.

Lady agnis gaze turn softer. And the pressure is fading "Its all in yourself young man. Go asked yourself. Search your memory. For i have no power over your vision."

"Bring me back then, let me find out. Please." I asked her. pleading.

"No. Nomatter how much i do this the vision wont change" her eyes cast a pity. "Go rest for today. Tomorrow come back here to complete the registration. Thats if you still wish to enroll at this academy. If no, then youre free to go."

I slump back on my chair. Its frustating. To have something given halfway without seeing the end. I then look at lady agnis "maester. Is there a way to get the vision clearer if i became a mage like you. If there is let me be your disciple. I'll work hard."

"No, dont let anything cloud your judgement. being a mage or being a knight or even being a comonner is all the same. To understand yourself better you just have to continue your path and do it your best. For now just go rest. Return tomorrow". Lady agnis then stood and hand a paper. "Give it to the boys dormitory keeper. He will show you your temporary room.

Lady agnis then walk out of the room. Her eyes return to the same state like when she first arrive. Leave me here alone with a paper and a lot of thing to ponder over my head
