Lee(Character Introduction)

Lee was more excited than he had ever been and that was saying a lot considering he had done some pretty exciting things. There was the time when he was nine and tried to steal a Gryphon egg, the time he had scaled that warlords castle at eleven, or that time he crashed the experimental flight machine at twelve. None of that mattered now that he was at Adventure Academy. Lee called it that because its graduates either traveled the world or ruled it. Lee liked traveling but he loved telling tales of his adventures more. Lee didn’t want to just be an adventurer he also wanted to be an adventure writer.

 Lee was from a very low ranking noble family in Limrix. His father refused to hurt the people of the land with taxes like most nobles do and the little they made he gave to the king. In order to keep them from being poor his father became a trader for the many goods Limrix produced. His father was so great of a trader that he traveled all throughout the nine realms. Well everywhere except Baineil. Lee’s Mother died when he was very young, so his father took him with him on almost all of his travels. That is how Lee and gotten to see so many places and meet so many people from nobility to common peasants.

Lee started learning practical magic from his mother but he really didn’t start learning how to do the real stuff like fix broken objects, move things without touching them, or unlocking doors until he was older and needed them to either get him in or out of trouble. The magic skills also made for great conversation in new places. He was really shocked when his dad agreed to send him to Adventure Academy but an even bigger surprise was that he took first place in Practical Magic.

He had spent most of his day jumping from place to place on the campus and he had been amazed by the small market that seemed to have everything. There was even an Enchanted Weapons and Objects shop that Lee was amazed by. Just a few months earlier he had found out he possessed the ability to make enchanted weapons which only one out of every thousand people could do. Since most of them never received proper training there was a shortage of capable weapon enchanters.

Professor Gem hadn’t mentioned it when he had given him his tour. Professor Gem just said his team was special then introduced him to his roommate Kalin. Kalin had been weird in that original and interesting way that you just couldn’t help but like. His thoughts where interrupted when he bumped into a tall muscular guy with shaggy hair. Lee stopped and looked up into the guys face. Other than the small scar on his left cheek he had a very kind looking face with dark eyes that looked down when his met them. Lee smiled at the tall guy in front of him and he could swear that the guy looked surprised. The tall brown haired stranger spoke with a shy but level voice that was easily understandable “Can you tell me where the Unili Boarding House is?” The shyness surprised him given this guy was over six foot, muscular, and carrying a sword on his hip he should have had more confidence. While surprising it was also refreshing so Lee gave him his biggest nice to meet you smile and said “Sure, I was just about to head there myself.” His eyes showed genuine shock that Lee was willing to help but the guy managed to respond with that shy but strong voice “Thank you.” Lee gave him another smile “No problem.”
Lee got to know the quiet guy a little better while they walked. His name was Rai. Rai mostly only gave one word answers. He really didn’t look like the normal students here who would ware fine robes made from the silk of Giant Lanidir Spiders and magic jewelry that shined with its on light but to Lee that was definitely a good thing.

Lee looked at the sword on his hip and could easily tell it was a Xiphos. Lee couldn’t actually see the curves in the blade from the hand guard in and then it would get wide again and finally curve back into the blades point. He knew it would have an almost leaf like shape because his father had sold a lot of them with the exact same style at a market in the lower realms. Rai refused to tell him much about his past but he said a few words about his classes and the trip to Maric then politely asked Lee the same questions. Lee talked so much it more than made up for Rai’s quietness.

They arrived at the Unili Boarding House and went all the way to the top floor where Lee's Dorm was. Lee figured he would introduce Rai to Kalin and as they approached he saw their door open. Lee walked in not sure of what to expect with Rai right behind him looking equally expectant. Lee instantly saw Professor Gem, his roommate Kalin, and a person Lee recognized as one of the Nine Princes of Adiel and did a double take. Lee looked at Professor Gem for some kind of explanation but instead Professor Gem was looking at Rai behind him. Lee thought it was only right that he introduce Rai and explain why he had brought him to the room when Gem said “Good now all four of you are here.”
