Philondran ran up the stairs, taking 2 steps with each stride. He was late for the class and even if he wasn't so sure about the things he was learning, he was very much afraid of what would happen if he didnt put more effort into his studies; Master Aderas could be very stern.

5 Years ago the Master had found him in a remote village, working at the farm of his parents. The old mage had seen the potential in the 16 year old boy and so, even if he had been much older then all the other students, he had taken him to the Royal Mage Acadamy. At first Philondran had been extatic, he would learn magic and help to keep order in the kingdom but soon he learned that all that came with a price.

Mages where allways male and they could perform incedible things with magic. They could change the weather, prevent droughts or help defend the citizens against monsters. But for all that they needed energy, called orgone and this orgone was only provided by certain women and only if they experienced pain. At first Philondran hat tried to ignore that fact and studied several theories but last month he had turned 21 and now he was expected to start his more practical lessons, he hated them.

Most other students had come to the acadamy at a much younger age and somehow they didn't seemed to care that much about women, Phil had grown up with 2 sisters and had problems with inflicting pain to prompt the release of orgone. Normaly he would have been ignored by the mages, but Master Aderas had sensed a great potential in him ans so he sponsored him. By now he was certainly regretting this decision but he would not let Phil go because then he was loosing his face completly.

Phil slowed down before he reached the classroom and checked his apperance in one of the mirrors that where lining the hall. He brushed a unrully strand of brown hair back with one hand and scrachted the short stubble that was building around his mouth. He didn't look this dishelfed and his simple brown robes where clean enought as well.

Satisfied that he was not the last one to enter he nodded to some of the other latecomers and then entered with them. The room was not one of the normal classrooms he had attended most of the last 5 years, this was a larger, circular lecture hall, with benched all round and a table in the middle. He could see a woman bound to the table. She was dressed in a simple, sleeveless, grey gown and apparently sedated. Masters Aderas and Kromun where standing to the side and any time now the lecture was about to begin.

Rindess was one of the fairest elven in her city. Constantly surrounded by the King’s guards, she was also one of the most sought after. There had always been benefits for which she was, but nothing more important than being the King and Queen’s only child. They named her after what will happen, “Crowned Young Woman”. As she would be the first crowned woman to rule the land. It was a ritual when the child would hit a certain age, they would learn the mastery of several different lessons. Since they were in uncharted territories, the king was uncertain on what his daughter should or should not learn.

As any other day, the guards followed her around like lost puppies. It wasn’t only to protect the king’s daughter; it was also to keep the elven men from courting her to be their wife. The king had a plan and knew what it would be. There would be plenty of time after she became the queen. Though to become a queen without a King would not work and she would have to find a suitor as soon as possible.

Rindess or Rini as many of her friends called her loved traveling through the forest. It was one of her favorite part of the days as many times she would be able to lose the guards and spend some time alone. Alone time was precious since it was rare. Today was no different from any of the other days, she was able to get away and be alone. Rini ran behind some of the tall Redwoods that encircled her land. They kept out many of the intruders that were interested in the elven population. Curious of what existed outside of her own realm; she wandered out of the safe heaven. When the sun light hit her snow white skin, it was like a sun beam radiating through a crystal.

The moment she had peered past the lines of trees, she felt an odd pinch near her ear. Raising her hand to the very spot, she found a dart. Glancing it for a brief moment, the young girl became dizzy and fell to the ground in a soft patch of green grass. Hit with a dart that was filled with a sleep potion, Rindess out cold and would be for quite some time. The hunters gave each other a high five for they knew that the Masters would be proud to see that they were able to find a female Elf that they sought after.

One of the big oafs picked her up from the ground and threw her over his shoulder. Running back to the Academy, they ran through the mahogany doors of the castle. Once there, the men took the worn path to the preparation room. Handing over Rindess to the ladies, they watched her be taken away. It was their turn to prepare the new captives for what was to come.

Each captive were prepared by the ladies adorned in plain black outfits and hair tied in a bun high on their head. They would wash, shave and dress each captive in the same outfit. Her hair was pulled into a pony tail bounded by a strip of leather. They had always left the face alone, unless there were any blemishes. On Rindess, her skin was perfect. The last thing they did was dress her in a sleeveless grey dress.

When the ladies were satisfied, they would contact the men to put the ladies in specific places. Today Rindess was immediately going to be placed on display. The one thing that they didn’t suspect was her slowly waking up to everything that was going on. Laying her down on alter like table, the men stood back and watched them.

“Oh to be that young again with the knowledge we have today.” One busted out as one of the smaller men fixed her on the makeshift table.
