-YOU DID WHAT!!!!-

The shout froze everyone walking down the as their focus fixed on two figures standing in the hall way. One was in a recognizable white robe, his silky black hair neatly combed. He had a lean , but imposing figure that hinted at a martial arts background. his face matched his figure with a prominent nose and razor sharp eyes underneath his spectacles.

His eyes were currently boring a hole through a more rough looking student. He had the student held at the wall by the collarbone.  Said student was hunched over and desperately trying to avoid the gorgon like gaze that was upon him.

- Ed, tell me you did not do what I think you said you did-

- Jalandar it okay man , the amnesia episodes are only temporary, its a minor setback- Ed stammered out , still avoiding eye contact.

The grip on Eds' collar bone tightened. One could see sweat falling from the Eds' face as he desperately tried to make excuses.

-it was part of my homew-

-We don't get homework-

- It was necessary for my research proj-  

- You don't have a research project-

- It was shiny-

The grip on his collarbone further tightened making his squirming more intensly as he tried to desperately get himself out of this situation. Jalander was seething with anger, it felt like a palpable aura of rage surrounded him.

-Calm down Jalandar, you are acting like I robbed the dead or somethi-

Ed stopped as his gaze met Jalandars'. It was like staring into the eye of a firestorm. At this site Ed began to sweat rivers and water falls.

At this point both students noticed a crowd gathering. At this point Ed was released from  death vice grip which caused him to fall to the floor letting out a sigh of relief.

- Do you people have business with us?- Jalander stated in a monotone voice, but that did not stop the infliction of irritation and rage that accompanied his voice. This encouraged the students to disperse again.

Ed tried using the opportunity to quietly sneak away.

Ed stopped in his tracks as turned around now following behind the imposing Jalandar as they made heir way into the library.

The Magus guild was extravagantly build. The structure was basically concentric layers of circles with a central tower that was the library. The circles were all divided into 4 for each of the paths. The outer most building being the housing, the second one being the auditoriums for lectures, and the final one being more specialized workshops for each of the paths. There were several connections between the circles and and 4 to the tower , one for each path..

They headed to the wind section for the library , the reason for this was that the wind section was more akin to a abandoned house than a library. Books were sparse and many that were present were focused on the more commercial applications of the wind path rather than combat.

The entire section screamed out abandoned and ignored. Chairs were more like splinter applicators and one had to kick the sofas and cushions to make sure that they were not occupied.

They made their way to a relatively cleaner section with usable furniture, this was maintained by ed as he needed some place to escape from the constant beration due to his class.

-So Jalandar , been a while right ? Hows the fam- Eds' words were cut short as a fist landed just beneath his sternum , knocking his breath out and causing him to collapse.

- So let me get this straight, you decided in your infinite wisdom to grave rob artifacts from sages ? Not only that you decided to rob the hero Faust of the wind? Whose artifacts are known to be cursed?-

-Robbing is such a strong word. i mean its not like he nee-

Another punch to the gut silenced Ed as he tried to crawl away from Jalandar. only for Jalandar to squat on him , pinning him down.

- So, seeing that you aren't panicking like I am about your condition, you must have a plan  ?- Jalandar spoke , his voice seething with anger and impatience.

-Yes , Yes, I give, uncle , I tap-

Finally Ed was released and got up to a vertical base. He had a huge , smug grin on his face.

-So whats the plan-    Jalandar

-Its simple, I just need to go back to his tom-

A thud followed by the cracking of bones was heard after which the library became eerily quiet.
