<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#bfbfbf">The second Shar Tessa spoke the crowd around the three of them went quiet, everyone that could hear them watching the confrontation. Both parties had their fair share of rumors and whispered comments. Tessa was known all around as the master that could make or break your career in magic. If you ever managed to get an apprenticeship with her it normally meant one of two things would happen. You either rose to the top, or your magical career ended. Those rumors had increased tenfold in the time since she had gotten her Mastery of Transmutation. Then there was Ayla, who some of the mages around remembered as a rising star a while back. Her raw power made it so that she blasted through first and second circle in most magics in no time at all. She and her brother had a way of going through Masters though, mainly because of her lack of control or patience. The two had clashed in the past, though never in a true fight, but from the looks on Ayla’s face it was a definite possibility this time. Whispers of ‘mage fight’ spread quickly through the room, and anyone with sense backed away, so about half the crowd.</span>
