You will have to wait until it is finished before she may consider taking you as a fellow apprentice.>But I may be able to keep your letter of inquiry in her study in the meanwhile.“I’m afraid that my master is busy with a quest of great import.” You bow before her in your best show of diffidence. You can’t help but feel a cut inadequate before a full blood elf–it’s always ethereality and pride and austerity with them. “You will have to wait until it is done before she may consider you as an apprentice. I may be able to keep your letter of inquiry in her study in the meantime..?”
“That won’t do.” The elf’s eyes narrow. “A perennial apprenticeship isn’t just an important prospect for me, it is necessary to graduate. I need to act as aide for a licensed witch or wizard for up to two years before I can be considered a full-fledged witch. I need this.“
“Then.. someone else, perhaps..? I’m sure she’d write you a letter of recommendation.” You suggest, but she shakes her head.
“No. It has to be her. It must.” Ingraine insists. “My skills are well suited for a great witch of her caliber. I’ve ranked among the top three of my class for two years straight. I’ve merited letters of recommendation from HEADMASTER PENDRAGON and GOOD QUEEN GALIA. I’ve sent six letters before in advance of this summer, but.. she’s yet to approve my inquiries.”
You can’t help but feel your legs quaking below the inadequacies stacking on top of inadequacies. This lady is not only a FULL ELF, but ranks in the TOP THREE of her class?! You tend to rank around, maybe.. eighty-six or eighty-seventh. And that was good, mind you–some students would kill for that, and have. But top three in the class is within the realm of dreams for the student corpus.
“And.. moreover.” The witch glances to the chapel. “I’m a child born under the star of the WILD GODS. I’ve dominion of WILD CARD MAGIC. That’s surely enough for an audience?”
>She already has an apprentice. And it’s you. Sorry!>Leave her. She has the wrong chicken legged house.>Maybe she’s merited an audience with your master. But it’ll be through a door from which she can’t look behind.>Write-In.
