Perhaps it was as incredible as Alvin claimed, and inside was a font of power ripe for the taking. Or maybe it was where the man had kept his great horde of treasures, having amassed the largest fortune the world had ever seen. Hell, even if it was just where he kept lewd portraits of women he hid away out of embarrassment, that would still be something worth seeing.>“None of this changes the fact that I intend to see you safely to Morfis. And I’m certainly interested in whatever lies within Tartarus. But make no mistake, my priority is still winning the competition and bedding Princess Yulia. Make sure that our two goals do not clash with each other.”Alvin nods. “I’m glad you mentioned that. I’ve been going back and forth on how to best thank you for saving me. What you did in defeating the Djinn and reclaiming the Keep was no small feat. Earlier, I mentioned favoring you to win the competition. But I’ve decided that is not enough. I wish to support you wholeheartedly by offering my services to you. Both as a combatant, as well as a tutor.”
>“Tutor?” You scoff. “Sorry, I’ve been out of school for a while now.”“If you wish to rule over a land of sorcerers, it would be best if you were able to cast more than a few meagre fireballs. I’d wager you’re much more capable than that. I’d be happy to teach you what I know of the arcane arts.”
Now that was an interesting offer. You hadn’t seen much of Alvin’s magic, but what you had seen was enough to sink an entire pirate ship with one spell. If an Adjunct of the Royal College was willing to offer you his services, then who were you to refuse him?

>“And I assume this Hima will be a safer destination than Ithaca was?”Alvin merely shrugs and falls back asleep.
