    The arch-mage definitely looked elven, that was for sure. He wore a bright-blue robe with a silver trim, runed designs were etched into the fabric, glowing faintly and emitting a subtle hum. His silver hair draped long past his shoulders and reached his lower back. He was sitting on a chair reading from a book when Negiem and Sicia entered the room.

    "Uhm... Excuse me.." Sicia said nervously. The High Elf spun around with a gasp and almost fell out of his chair.
    "By the Light! You almost gave me a heart attack."
    "We're sorry!" Sicia exclaimed.
    "It's fine, what do you want?" The Elf sighed, clearly he had no desire to chat with the local populace.

    Sicia explained her desire to learn more about the magical arts, she even demonstrated the spells she had learned from her books. The arch-mage was impressed and offered to be her mentor, however, he warned that her training would not be easy and she would have to leave Tirisfal to study in Dalaran, the City of Magic.
    Sicia's eyes widened as she thought of traveling to the ancient city she always wanted to visit. But then she thought of Negiem, she would worry about him. Miss him.

    "I hope I will be able to see you again." Sicia said as the Elf prepared the portal to Dalaran.
     "I'm sure we'll cross paths again one day." Negiem smiled, he too will miss his new friend.

    The arch-mage finished the portal ritual and they both stepped through, vanishing into the blue swirl.

    As Negiem left the inn, he realized he had forgotten to ask the mage if he had any gloomweed to spare. Negiem sighed as he realized he had failed his first task. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he heard screams and sounds of violence coming from outside. Quickly, he and the rest of the inn's attendants hurried outside to see what was causing the commotion.

    The city was on fire.
