The wooden wheels of the wagon crackle softly against the stones on the ground. The trees rustle quietly, and in the distance you can hear the bustle of the city that you have now left behind. You slump down gently against the tanhide covering on the inside of your wagon, and move your book into your eyeline. The histories of the Archmage fascinate you, and so you do enjoy reading of them.

The lightning shooting at random from Jessop's hands crackles a lot louder. You do not know how he found his way onto the roof of the wagon, but he did. You sigh with some exasperation. Jessop is the man within your care. His mental capacities are… somewhat lacking. The well is charged, but there's no mana, if you understand. His very presence saddens you, as it almost always results in some kind of havoc. You despise the man, but for all your feelings towards him, you remain loyal and devoted to the maffer. If it was entirely up to you, you would abandon the fool. It's not up to you, though. It's up to the Archmage, the most powerful magi in the world. The Archmage chose you to accompany him to the Scholars Peak, and so you had to follow his commands, lest you be outcast by the magi the community.

You're not sure why the Archmage chose you. Maybe Jessop likes you? It's impossible to tell. You would simply kill the fool and be done with it, but there's one problem; you wouldn't kill the Archmage. Jessop, for all his flaws (which he has many of), is the most powerful magi in the world.

Destiny does enjoy it's jokes.

Suddenly, the smell of burning fills your nose. You glance up, and spot a crackling flame burning the top of your tanhide wagon cover. Jessop cackles maniacally on top of the wagon, likely at the stupidity he has unleashed. What do you do?
