A genderless voice that Rowan would have found familiar as it was the same as the voice of the Oracle from Covenant sounded, "The candidate Andar Erickson came under no agency, and he applied in person for transportation from Rezur City at Ikaron V."
"Interesting, was that not your Jurisdiction Shemira? You have always been tracking down candidates for your crystal legion. I'm surprised you would let such a great seed leave your domain." The two-headed figure turned to the shadow sitting beside it.
Like the Covenant, these four shadowy figures were seated in a circular array, and a hologram of the activities in the Trial Ground was being broadcasted in their center.
The female figure Shemira the Archmage who was hunting Andar sighed, "Khasos, my disciple allocated these duties to his servant, and the man he gave this essential task to was foolish, he allowed his ego and small-mindedness as the reason for this talent to slip through my grasp, but as the Prime Jurisdiction Officer over Ikaron V, I expect that his discipleship would be placed under me. The child has promise and needs a steady head, I will not be using him as a soldier in my Crystal Legion, he is to be my Legacy Disciple."
There was a snort from another shadowy figure, "Shemira wishes to return the air she had breathed away back to her lungs. He is now in the Trial Grounds, and he is no longer your concern, what is left for him to do is to choose his future or for you to entice him to yours, I also want a Legacy Disciple and he is a suitable prospect."
The shadow of Shemira glowed in anger but she answered with slight laughter in her voice, "That is the plan Lucius, let us see how far these children can reach. For three Spirit Bodies to be present here in our Trial Ground is unprecedented. You must be very proud Hasshim of your daughter's accomplishment."
The last shadow figure laughed, "The silly girl. Wasting all her riches on the first boy who catches her eye. She would need to be reprimanded after this is all over. She is letting her heart lead instead of her head."
These were the four Archmages of the Black Tower, 2 Star Archmage Hashim Prizahl Watcher of Blades, 3 Star Archmage Shemira Myrcelo Circle Of The Crystal Rose, 2 Star Archmage Lucius Gyfron The Pioneer of Treasure, and 5 Star Archmage Khasos Mylos The Golem King.
The figures soon began discussing other matters, including a Talent found in the Mist Tower who had both a Supreme grade talent and a Supreme grade Spirit Body. This news was enough to shock them as they argued furiously about how such a talent would be able to utilize his full potential.
Shemira Myrcelo did not divulge that the monster they were witnessing had surpassed whatever supreme-grade talent in the Mist Tower, and she was determined to make Andar her disciple.
She was also the only one who had a sneaking suspicion that Andar might succeed in his ambition to reach a Supreme Meditation Art, it was so unlikely that this would ever happen but she always liked to bet against the odds. This boy who came from nowhere, might just be able to shock the entire Mage World.
Her breath imperticably quickened and anticipation began to brew in her heart. This child might be the key to unlocking the treasures of the Supreme world, and bring her before the gates of Endirius.
It was a good thing that she had leverage over him.
