The Crucifixion woods

Opening your eyes you once again saw the Circled area where you met Anri and Horace, but as you suspected they had set off since then, you got straight to it running through a lot of the the area, you killed a coupled hollows wielding Giant sticks and some feral hounds but found no major trouble in what you discovered was a swamp.

but as you went on you realised that more and more of the Undead where wearing robes and using magic, you eventually came to a large structure, it seemed to be something like a ruined fort of sorts, either way you where sure that through it was the way forward.

slaying one undead mage after another, you explored the place finding some Large titanite shards and some throwing knives, eventually your exploration led you up a staircase that was hidden in a corner, your blade was ready for what could of been a fierce battle.

instead what you found at the top of the fort was a lot more useful, looking around to your left you saw a man sat surrounded by books and scrolls as he read one in a deep focus, You sheathed your blade, relieved to see a sane man "Hail!" you said in a friendly tone, he simply motioned you to be quiet as he finished ready his Scroll, he had long shoulder-length black hair with a pointy nose, "Well, this is unexpected. I don't often have visitors, What do you want this is my study that you've happened upon. If you haven't any business, I've reading to get back to." he spoke quickly and bluntly understandable considering he had to read all of these scrolls for whatever reason.

"I see you have many Scrolls here, perhaps you are a sorcerer: could you maybe teach me some magic?" he rolled up his scroll quickly and gently slipped it in to the large basket where the other scrolls remained "How intriguing?" he rubbed his chin thoughtfully "Very well, Indeed, I am a sorcerer. With plenty to share...." you smiled "Very good it would be a pleasure to learn from y-"
"However..." he interjected before letting you get too exited "What champion demands service without recompense? Clearly you are not that sort of man. So, you will make me a promise" of course a catch... "What Kind of Promise" you asked curiously, he grinned slightly "...That in exchange for my teaching, you will bring me knowledge; in the form of scrolls detailing sorcery's secrets.... Well? Can you assure me of this?" He just wants Magic Scrolls? well in a land like this how hard could it be to find some? "Very well Sir-Mage I shall find you some magic Scrolls, if you swear to teach me of them afterwards..." he smiled clearly glad to hear that you where not an idiot "You are no fool. I take it you understand the weight of a promise, I am Orbeck of Vinheim...." he said raising his hand to shake, which you did respectfully bowing your head "nice to meet you Orbeck"
"Unkindled one, I shall teach you sorceries, We will learn together, it shall be like our very own school..." you stopped shaking as he grabbed some across before teleporting to the Shrine.

"Hehe Ally after Ally around here..." you descended the staircase after unsheathing your blade, readying for battle.
