A warm summer wind blew through and around a large castle standing in a field. The castle belonged to the king, but this story isn't about him. It is about his court mage, and his apprentice. Speaking of which, a loud yell came from a nearby tower not far from the castle, a tower with floating rocks held by magical energy. The yell was a sound of pain as a mage appeared from the tower, actually being the king's court mage in question. "Ack!" He coughed out some black smoke, one of his experiments having exploded on him..again. The mage, Raiga, sighed to himself, waving his hand and making the failed experiment go away. He looked around for his apprentice, wondering where she had gone. He was just glad that she wasn't around for his spectacular failure, which seemed to be rather commonplace.
