New world. New magic. Same goal.
Temple wakes up on a grassy hill. His body, he notes, is currently human and all of his equipment is human-sized. No big problems there, he looks around and tries to identify the closest signs of civilization and feels around for the closest signs of magic.

"He said he can verify whether your clan banner really has a blessing on it."
"Ooh, excellent! I'll go get it."
She returns in less than a minute, with an intricate two foot wide cloth banner. There is something faintly magical about it...
no subject
"Magical, but very faint. I should be able to improve and preserve the magic, if you allow it. Getting students is the priority, but once that is settle... Would it be too complicated to arrange it for me to have contact with it for about a hour per day during a week? and then once a month afterwards?"

Gren smiles indulgently. "Yep, you sure did. Here's my report on the a Neuroi I encountered down by Unsensk, by the way. Local militia helped me."
She takes the report. Gren marches off to the rewards office.

"I'll find you for cards later," Gren reports.
And they leave.
no subject
Read, read, read, read. The spell magic snaps into place. Great.
Temple finds the mess hall to have a light meal, and then go find Gren again.
no subject
Gren is in the main hangar area, talking to some people who are working on her machine.
no subject
"Hello again, Gren." Temple says when he has a opportunity to do so without interrupting anyone.
no subject
And here are a bunch of people sitting around a wide table, only Gren and one other having magic.
"You probably don't know the rules of Witchrun?"
no subject
"Nope! The deck itself isn't familiar, but I am always willing to try new things."
no subject
Each team's witches goes up against the other team's selection, and points go to whichever side has the post points in this round's chosen stat.
It's fast paced and cooperative, and easy to pick up.
no subject
After a few minutes of playing he asks the other Witch's name and special power.

"He's apparently from another world."
"What, really? Wow."

"You'd have to take it out for other games, though."
"Still."
no subject
If allowed Temple won't mind playing this game for a couple of hours.
no subject
Eventually everyone here wants to go to sleep. Gren delivers him a small pile of coins, declaring it the militia reward.
"Captain said she'd give you a bunk if you don't want to walk into town and find an inn."
no subject
He will find the bunk, remove the outer layer of clothes and encase the entire thing with a spell. No reason to leave his precious spellbooks where anyone can steal them.
no subject
In less than two minutes all the magic people are flying away from the castle, and south.

They come back in three hours, all 28 of them, in various shades of 'tired' and 'battered'. The commander gives a speech about how this was a victory since they didn't lose anyone from their wing and stopped the Neuroi when it had only destroyed half of that trade fleet.
Gren looks frustrated. "She wouldn't let me find you. Because we had to be there as soon as physically possible."
no subject
"I didn't realize the attacks are that common or I would have offered."
