Thankfully, since your confrontation with him yesterday, the unpleasant mage hadn't shown himself.
"Do you know what happened to Blitzbolt?"
"No idea. No one's seen him since yesterday."
"Maybe he left. I heard he
really doesn't like that girl who showed up to get accredited."
"Or maybe he's been sacked. I hear he and the Archmage had a massive row yesterday."
"Or
maybe he's wondering why you two are in the restricted section of the library."
You shake your head; you have more important things to worry about that him.
"than"
You nod; Apollo makes perfect sense. It'd be super frustrating if Father or Mother had done either of those things. True, their tests had been simpler and less formal, but they'd only had to deal with one of you rather than dozens.
I was actually expecting Ryza to interrupt her thoughts with something like "Wait, Apollo? When did he get here?".
"We should probably put these back first; Madam Pince gets upset if people disrespect her books."
Fixed that for you.
(or at least close enough.)
Unless I'm badly mistaken, the punctuation should come after the parenthesis.
"So, are you feeling ready."
This sentence should end in a question mark.
"Hey, Apollo," one said casually, as if he hadn't just been caught eavesdropping
Why is this sentence in past tense?
and the three dragonstones you carry into your bag,
"in"?
We do not ask human students do part with their hands when taking our tests.
"to"
"Are you ready to begin."
This sentence should end in a question mark.
Some of your thoughts might have appeared on your face, or maybe he just assumed them, as he narrowed his eyes at you slightly before turning and returning to the raised area.
Was this supposed to be in past tense?
"Ryza, while I understand you are in a difficult position, but while you are a guest or a member of this Hall you will act with decorum.
One of this is redundant.
Quite a few ask you who taught you before, and you honestly answer "your parents."
It might just be me, but with the way this sentence is structured, it sounds like Ryza is saying that the parents of the person asking her the question are the ones who taught her, and I know that's not right.
leaving out the part where you flew her away on dragon-back.)
Again, unless I am mistaken, the punctuation should be after the parenthesis.
[X] Stormheart
As I mentioned when the topic of Ryza getting a Mage Name first came up, I've had the name "Stormheart" rattling around in my brain for a while now.
[X] You still have some things you'd like to do at the Hall, and you don't know if you'll be able to come back anytime soon.
-[X] Talk to Revisionists. You have a lot to tell them, and the sooner you can start fighting the bad stories about manakete, the better.
-[X] Try to figure out what's going on with the Regent's plan. He has to have done
something, and you get the feeling that Blitzbolt is involved somehow. This'll be dangerous, but so've been a lot of other stuff you've done.
-[X] Try to find time to talk to Archmage Stormspeaker privately. He seems like a decent fellow, and maybe he can give you some advice.
-[X] Meet with the other Heads of the Towers. Archmage Stormspeaker indicated that they have some questions, so you might as well get that over with.
-[X] Spend some time in the libraries to see if you can find anything interesting about the human understanding of spirits, runewrighting, or other topics.
-[X] Meet with Master Searedstone. Apollo seems to like him, and not all Imperials you've met have been bad.
Firstly, I want to be sure that Ryza is on hand when things inevitably go wrong here, so I'm voting for as many things as possible.
Secondly, meeting the Revisionists strikes me as a very high priority and something we probably won't get another chance to do, at least for a while.
Thirdly, I want to find out what the plan is and how Blitzbolt fits into it. Talking to Stormspeaker immediately after because I imagine these will synergies extremely well if we can get proof of what Blitzbolt/the regent is up to before talking to him.
Fifthly, meeting the other Heads of
House the Towers to hopefully get them on board before things go wrong.
Sixthly, libraries because someone brought up that it might be helpful for advancing our long-term goal of finding a way for humans to cast magic without dragonstones.
Lastly, I don't remember who Searedstone is, but he has Apollo's seal of approval and I needed one more thing.
