Jorin Gimlet talented mage in training

You mother had been a powerful mage, a summoners who had call forth creatures from the void. Elementals of fire, ice, water, air and earth and creatures from much darker places. The college of mages had been lucky to have so talented a mage, and so thing had been good for her for many years.

What exactly happened in her life?

Your mother, Katarina Gimlet, worked as one of a group of magicians in the huge port city of Agnerta. This wealthy city, located on a large island, is the capital of the strongest human state in the western part of the continent - the Sacred Kingdom of Orlania.

Also, your mother sometimes taught the magical discipline “The Art of Summoning Magical Entities” at the most famous educational institution in the kingdom - the Royal Academy of Magical Arts. This Academy was the main educational institution that trained magicians for the royal troops, for various branches of production and scientific research. In accordance with the type of activity, magicians who completed a five-year course of training were united in colleges, which were relatively autonomous organizations (for example: the College of Combat Magic, the College of Enchanting Objects, the College of Mystical Archeology, the College of Magical Transmutations and others). Magical colleges were one of the instruments of royal power. Therefore, the magicians have so far managed to avoid too close control from the Church of Equal Brother-Deities. However, Orlanian legislation regarding magic was still quite demanding.

Since magical abilities can carry significant danger and occur in a small number of people, orlanian laws regulate magic in a particularly detailed way. According to the laws of the Sacred Kingdom of Orlania, any subject was obliged to report to local authorities about the presence of magical abilities (hiding such information is a crime). After this, representatives of the local feudal authorities and representatives of the Church of the Equally Great Brother-Deities carried out a test of these magical abilities. If the checks did not reveal the influence of forbidden mystical energies (for example: demonic magic, necromancy, the influence of pagan deities), then the person with magical potential was sent to study at one of the special educational institutions. If during the checks forbidden mystical energies were discovered, then the fate of such a person was extremely sad... It is most likely that such a person will disappear forever in one of the fortresses of the inquisitorial department of the Church of Equal Brothers-Deities.

Katarina Gimlet has been one of the most successful members of the College of Summoning and Control of Magical Entities for many years.

However, the fate of your mother was tragic...

Unpleasant fact: all it takes is a single mistake in summonsing to cause all manner or horror, a raging demon or Elemental on the loose could destroy a city.

As luck would have if you were sired from her one mistake, she had opened the gate to summons some powerful demon. But as fate would have if... what came thought was a mere Incubus. He had stood grinning in her summons circle, snarling insults and sexual taunts at her as he stroked his huge organ. It had been both annoying and amusing at first, but then the infernal stud had found the gap in her circle. Before she had realized it he had escaped, casting a spell of domination over her before she knew what was happening.

Suddenly the lewd lustful Incubus was in control, he had bred her all night long and just before sunrise had slipped away back through the gate. It had been just a small mistake, yet he had ruined her life going forwards. She had gotten pregnant from that **** union, and the hormonal changes that had cause wreaked her ability to control magical energies. She was no longer a powerful mage, and could certainly not hope to summons anymore. She stayed just long enough to give birth to you... and then fled somewhere no one knew.

So, your birth was the result of a magical error and subsequent demonic "influence." Your mother was a human woman and your father was a demonic creature. As a result of these factors, your appearance differs markedly from that of ordinary humans. Your eyes have a bright orange tint and vertical, dark red pupils. In the lower part of the spine (where in normal people only the coccyx bone is located) you have a small thin tail about 15 centimeters long. There are two very small (about 5 centimeters in size) bony growths on your head, which are located in the upper zone of the parietal part of the skull. However, these bone growths on the skull are invisible due to your voluminous hairstyle. Your voluminous light brown hair reaches just below your shoulders. There is no facial hair yet - no mustache, no beard. This is probably due to your youth - you are only 20 years old. Your skin has a strange, from a human point of view, light reddish tint.

How did you manage to survive? After all, the fact of your origin from an incubus demon and noticeable external signs of this fact will all be obvious reasons for you to be killed in infancy. In the vast majority of civilized (and not only civilized) societies, any signs of demonic influence will be considered extremely dangerous phenomena that must be eliminated as soon as possible. By any means.

Both you and your mother should have been destroyed...

But everything turned out differently...

Why?

The answer is that over the years of work as a high-ranking member of the College of Summoning and Control of Magical Entities, your mother has acquired significant personal connections among the influential magicians of the capital. These informal acquaintances and, probably, bribery helped your mother escape. Also, these factors (which from the point of view of the law can be called corruption factors) helped you stay alive. The tragic events that happened to your mother that led to your birth are not widely known. These events have become a secret that only a few people know about. The well-known version of the disappearance of the experienced sorceress Katarina Gimlet was the version of her tragic **** as a result of a shipwreck during a strong storm near the western part of the Turquoise Tide Islands archipelago. Rumors spread about your father that he was an ordinary merchant of average income who died due to a pirate attack six months earlier than your mother.

Your mother's friend and dean of the Faculty of Civil Magical Disciplines, Alexander Tanrod became your adoptive father. This tall, pole-thin man with short-cropped gray hair and a wrinkled face became your teacher for many years. You have suffered a lot because of this human's harsh and strict nature. He was probably trying to control you in the most effective way possible (so that your secret would not be revealed) - and therefore he was often unnecessarily harsh with you. You spent most of your childhood in Alexander's secluded mansion. Since early childhood, you have kept one thing that your adoptive father gave you - you always wear a small ring of bluish-greenish metal on your little finger.

The ring is inlaid with a reddish stone. Alexander explained to you that this ring changes the perception of your appearance by all those around you. The ring is enchanted with powerful magical spells: this will make it extremely difficult for anyone who wants to identify your magical aura to determine the presence of elements of illusion magic. Thanks to this ring, in the eyes of those around you, your appearance is no different from that of an ordinary person. No one sees the true color of your eyes and skin tone. It seems to all outside observers that you have pale skin and ordinary brown eyes.

So, your adoptive father trained you as you grew until you reached adulthood. At the age of 18, Alexander Tanrod helped you become a student at the Royal Academy of Magical Arts. You have been enrolled in the Faculty of Civil Magical Disciplines.

So, you have been studying for two years at the largest educational institution for magicians in the capital of Sacred Kingdom Orlania. You live in one of the many student dormitory rooms next to the Academy building complex, which is located in the central district of Agnerta. Over the course of two years, you have mastered the simplest spells, which are mainly non-aggressive in nature (this is explained by the specifics of your faculty; most of the combat magic is studied at another faculty - at the Faculty of Militaristic Magical Disciplines).

You are quite tired of many years of persistent tutelage from your adoptive father. And your consciousness is gripped by the desire to independently achieve something significant.

Now you are lying on your bed in your student dorm room and you are looking at the stone ceiling, being overwhelmed by a stream of conflicting thoughts.

There are two more beds in this room. But there is no one in the room except you. Your student neighbors are wandering around somewhere.

You think: “Patrick probably went to the nearest pub again to buy some exotic ****... Or Patrick could again get into some kind of unpleasant situation like that fight with the students of the second faculty that happened last week... Alfred may be in a library or a museum... That would be quite in keeping with the character of this nerd..."

You look out the window at the evening sky. You are quite tired from today's lectures. Of course, you should prepare a little for tomorrow's classes at the Academy. But you feel very lazy. Is it worth overcoming this laziness? Or maybe you should just get ready for bed and get a good night's sleep?

You remember what awaits you tomorrow. These memories only provoke your irritation. Lectures on several disciplines: “Fundamentals of Alchemical Art”, “Procedures of Magical Enchantment”, “Transfiguration and Transmutation Processes”...

But after the lectures there will also be several practical classes in other disciplines: “The Art of Summoning Magical Entities”, “Extranatural Divinationology”…

The anticipation of tomorrow's boredom makes your cheekbones ache. You yawn loudly.

You're thinking, “Maybe I should skip some of the lectures? All that remains is to choose which specific lectures I will still have to attend...”

You remember that your roommate Alfred told you that he met one of the visitors in the library (this guy seemed to be one of the hired employees of the Academy), who promised to sell him a rare book. Judging by Alfred's rave reviews, this is an interesting book about rare magic spells. Your roommate invited you to participate in the purchase of this book, because Alfred himself simply did not have enough money. You are thinking about this possibility. If you agree then you will have the opportunity to do something interesting. Surely, this book contains extremely fascinating texts and information about unique and truly interesting spells (and not the boring garbage that you are **** to learn at the Academy: summoning a sphere of light for one minute, creating a small illusion of an immovable object for a couple of minutes, small tricks with the lighting of candles, gusts of a weak breeze and other crap).

Alfred will probably be back soon. Then you can give him an answer to his proposal.
