[Miyka'el Baine]

Timestamp: Fall, Era XI PF

It was still rather early in the morning when Miyka'el arrived at the gates of the Monastery. The morning air had a crisp feel, a perfect day for training. “Hei’yitss!” was the sound Miyka'el heard as he walked up toward the front doors, leading to the lobby. He stopped only momentarily to look at the side path leading to the garden.

Even as a child, Miyka'el dreamed of being able to attend the Monastery. The way of peace was one core ideal that the Darui'Torek believed in. He even wondered if this was where all Darui'Torek began their training. Miyka'el had only the clothes on his back and the few crowns he had got from selling every thing his father owned. But even this money was to be split between his brother and sister. Leaving only 800 crowns to spend on training and equipment for the journey to...to where? Miyka'el hadn't thought about who he would search for first. “Hei’yitss!” The sound broke his thoughts.

"You must focus." Miyka'el told himself. He reached the front enterence, leading to the lobby. He opened the door and stepped in. He had never been in the Monastery before, but it was marvelous. Every inch of the lobby shined brightly, not a speck of dust covered any of the ornaments or floor and counters. Miyka'el watched the young boy, impressed by his skills.

“He’s very good isn’t he.” It was a statement more than a question. The voice coming from the lovely elf woman at the desk. “The master believes that young Ethan there will become the youngest ever to hold the title of master. Should that we be so fortunate. But then, we are in fortunate times are we not friend? I am, well...I am called Lileth here. How may I serve you best this fine day?” she points to a table to her left.

Miyka'el smiles and replies, "Serale, I wish to train in the Monastery. To learn the Art of Ataa and the way of peace." Miyka'el starts to walk toward the table. He keeps a mindful watch around the lobby, but always seems to be drawn to the sparring match with Ethan and the katta.
