All of the people were at the tables eating the buffet that was on the table with small skewers and talking eachother.

Most of the people were humans, but some of them looked like Roland and some elves were mixed in as well. They all weared dresses, suits and masks. There were a few young people around as well, they looked like they were around 15.

Joseph and Catherine walked to the tables and looked around the people, there were no familiar ones, but they could miss someone, because of the masks. After they looked around they started to eat as well, imitating others with the manners.

Joseph felt comfortable, it was like one of the meetings in his office, nothing strange. There was food, people he doesn't know and they are waiting for the boss. He almost started to laugh at the thought how much the two were alike.

But Catherine was different. As he looked at her, she was moving were rigid. He saw that she wasn't used to this kind of events. So he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry that much, just behave naturally. They will notice you sooner if you are like this."

She swallowed the piece of meat that was in her mouth, then turned away from him.

"I know! Don't worry about me! I'm the great witch Catherine!"

'There she comes with that again. I thought she stopped with it. It might be a nervous thing?'

As time passed, more and more people started to come into the room, until there were more than a hundred people in there. They were all kind of races and ages, but it seemed like there weren't any childrens coming.

After the half hour went by the room was almost half with people who were all around the place waiting for Roland and his family to come.

As the time has come a bell was ringing outside of the house as one of the doors on the upper floor has opened and four people entered with simple white masks on them. They were the family of Roland.

On the front Roland was coming with a human woman. She was Roland's wife Rena as People around them started to talk about her. She looked beautiful. Her blue eyes shone out from under her golden hair and her white skin made a good contrast with the black dress she was wearing. The dress was built for her and it highlighted her woman charms.

Behind them came a young man. He looked human, except that he had two wolf ears on top of his golden hair and a lush tail behind him. He had the same skin and eyes as his mother, but it looked less flashy.

Finally at the back came a young girl, who was around the same age as the other teenagers in the room. She had the same characteristics as the young man in front of him, except that she had long black hair. Her look was quiet amazing for her age and her face looked just like her mother's, but she was missing the elegancy her mother had. Also the red dress she was wearing did not emphasised her body out as much as her mother's.

When Roland reached the railing of the upper floor he looked around smilling, before he started to talk.

"My dear family and friends! It is good to see that you all have come here on this wonderful night!"

He looked at Joseph and Catherine for a moment.

"As all you know we hold this event to congratulate my son, Ronald for graduating from the Mileniar Wizard Tower as a full fledged wizard!"

He motioned towards his son, who walked next to him and smiled at everyone just as his father.

"I'm honord that all of you have came to celebrate with us. I know that everyone have already been waiting for quiet a while, so I won't say anything else. Please enjoy yourself tonight!"

Roland looked like he was still planing to say something, but changed his mind, after his son ended his short speach.

They all started to descend on the stairs.
