Bella woke up fairly early in the morning, a few hours before she was open for business. The sun was just rising and the morning birds chirped and sang happily. A strong breeze came from the west thanks to an approaching storm system that made brilliant, cascading clouds visible for miles. Which caused the temperature to drop drastically. After going about her morning routine, she would head outside to stockpile on some parts she was running low on, specifically a magic infused oil that made car engines run smooth. However, at the front of her store sat a middle-aged looking man in a uniform
belonging to the University of Jugar, who was idly picking splinters off a nearby support beam and flinging them, one by one, at beetles that were crawling across the ground in front of him. As she stepped outside, he seemed to hear her footsteps, and quickly stood straight up off the bench, and straightened his uniform, as if he hadn’t just been doing anything really silly. He cleared his throat and stuck his hand out towards Bella, taking a step forward, but he drags the foot he moves, causing it to collide with a tiny bug, at which point he trips and falls. He quickly scrambles to his feet, stating flatly “Hello, I am Nobor Dinglefitz, and I’d just like to say that I not only was not just flinging splinters at bugs, but I also have very important information that you, no doubt, would like to hear.” seemingly hoping Bella did not see him trip.

Alexander woke per his usual schedule, doing his usual routine, putting on his usual clothes, and going to his usual classes. The College of Trinity was quite fancy, though a mere shack compared to the University of Jugar just a few miles away, it still glittered with gilded trimmings, polished woods, large and expensive looking paintings, and all sorts of lavish decorations. Of course, that was considered middle of the road for the kingdom. His Summoning Practices 2 professor, Dr. Rheshul, was out for unknown reasons, and in his place sat a incompetent substitute who seemed to know next to nothing about summoning except from what Rheshul must've handed them on a paper that a preschooler could understand. A new student that Alexander had never seen before was also attending the class, she had black hair, tied back in a braid, and was wearing a black sailor-style shirt with a red tie, a white skirt, and black thigh-highs.
The new student also kept looking over at Alexander every so often. In yet another strange turn of events, one of the schools administrators went to every class Alexander had for the day. She seemed surprised every time she walked into the classroom and noticed Alexander, and only stayed for few minutes, writing some stuff down on a clipboard before going away. By the time his 5 classes had ended, it would be hard to believe if it was just plain coincidence.
At the end of the class period, it was difficult to tell what to make of these happenings. Yet there was one more thing that happened before he could even go back to his dorm. The new girl got up, walked straight to Alexander, then stuck out her hand, with a bright smile on her face. “Hi! I’m Sephera!” Sephera then gave Alexander one of the most over-enthusiastic handshakes he had ever experienced, with an even more over-enthusiastic smile, and started talking before he could even respond. In more words than anyone could ever use in a run-on sentence, she told him that she was from the College of Acterice in Korat and had just transferred, was really happy to meet him, liked his school, his teachers, all of the people there, just generally named off absolutely everything about the place, saying she liked it all. Her entire spiel happened in under five minutes, but she seemed to go on for hours, and probably would have if she wasn’t talking so fast. When she finally finished, shaking his hand the entire time, she looked at him, smiling and waiting for a response.

The Desolate Wall, a 6 foot thick Titanium- vanadium metal wall with a defensive magical barrier normally restricted to the heaviest of military vehicles or fortifications. Stretching across the 245 mile border between Rasard and the Southlands, it was covered in AA guns, cannons, magical lasers, and other such weaponry. A quick estimation could easily yield the fact that more money and manpower went into this wall than any other structure or development in Rasard. If one heads to the tri-border where Rasard, Korat, and the Southlands converge, once can see Korat put the same amount of effort into their side. Where the two walls converge stands a large tower where the two nations meet and discuss happenings around the wall. Both countries were dead serious about this wall, and preferred to keep those they felt didn’t belong outside.
Past the wall was just a blighted desert with little to no vegetation or water. The few years Corporal Sarah spent in the military, she saw nothing past that wall. Layers upon layers of nothing. Not to mention it was really hot, it easily shot past the normal comfortable temperatures a human could stand, and walking her route on that wall was really taxing. However, when she woke up at 0700 this morning, she would have one of the biggest surprises of her life. Right after roll call, her sergeant, sergeant Volker, led her squad to the briefing room and laid out a bunch of papers.
“Alright men, we have a very special assignment today.” He paused and looked over the group. “You have all patrolled the Desolate wall for a few years now. As you know, every once in a while the Generals order a squad to head into the desert and report back their findings. What they report back is highly classified… Men, early this morning I received a letter from General Sark… It is our turn to go into the desert.” Volker let this news sink in. Very few squads get chosen for the task, and no one knows what they see when they go. “We will meet here again at 1200 hours. The general told us to not go at night, so I'm afraid you will have to bear the heat. Go get ready, dismissed.” Volker waved away the squad as a sign of dismissal and let them get their gear ready.

Cecilia’s first reaction of getting out of the hospital was to get payback. The ninjutsu practitioner has gone without stolen goods for too long! Today was the day she would fix that. As she has told herself many many times beforehand. She had managed to find his place of residence, a fairly middle-class home that blended in with all the others around it. It was two stories with a basement, had a soft tan color on its siding, and had an overabundance of windows, letting everyone see what’s inside. From what she could see, it looked normal inside, with a kitchen, living room, and foyer all visible. Now if only she could get inside without getting the stuffing kicked out of her. She had tried many times before, but today was special, today would be the the last of many tries, she could feel it. Then again, maybe it was the strong breeze coming from the approaching storm system that made beautiful cascading clouds, but promised plenty of rain. First however, she needed to get in. How she planned to get inside was the first step of many, and arguably the most crucial part.
A perfect day for breaking and entering, to steal that slab. It was a slab of black rock, with glowing purple etchings on it, in a language she could not even begin to decypher. While magical items weren’t exactly rare, they had to made in a certain way by certain people, and so where always pricey. It was no doubt going to fetch a pretty penny.
