Harsh winds rushed past the wings of a wyvern as it tore through the skies, its scales giving off a cold green glint as it flew in the setting sun. Atop this beast's head sat an old man, his wrinkled face was relaxed with half lidded eyes which contrasted greatly with circumstance. He wore plain deep blue robes that fluttered in the breeze, sitting behind him several others with similar clothing only more extravagant enjoyed the scenery.

After flying for several hours they spotted their destination, the Wyvern circled the encampment several times while releasing colorful magics into the sky.

At first, the civilians panicked at the sight of the monster but after seeing the signals they visible calmed down and began chattering excitedly. Wolfram gathered his generals then marched towards the only bare surface in the budding town.

Just as Wolfram arrived he was assaulted with gusts of winds that threatened to take him off his feet from powerful wing beats. The Beast landed making the ground shudder in the process, everyone on the mountain could hear the thump of its landing.

The Old man stepped off the Wyvern's head in mid air and floated down briskly accompanied by his followers. Wolfram led his men to salute "Greetings Merlin arch mage of the arcane university." said Wolfram in the most formal tone he could muster.

Merlin gently smiled back at Wolfram and softly replied "no need for pleasantries, I was once a commoner too you know, so there is no need for such stiff speech". Wolfram would have visibly sighed with relief if not for his training. Wolfram gave a crooked attempt at a smile back and started to speak with Merlin about business then asked if he could assist in anything. They chatted amicably for a short time, the mood only soured slightly when the other mages didn't even look at Wolfram or his men as they strutted past towards the dungeon.

The group of mages finished their preparations outside the dungeon entrance and began to voice their dissatisfaction at being dragged here, one of the older men ranted "I don't know why the king sent most of the main forces of the arcane university simply to check on a new dungeon, this is beneath us, is the king trying to get back at us for not involving ourselves in the last skirmish. we are an institute of knowledge, not some mage corps he can order around", the others simply meditated in silence to better prepare themselves.

After nearly an hour Merlin accompanied by his student arrived at the dungeon entrance. The party of mages entered the dungeon after applying several spells to themselves and each other, they walked in a circular formation with Merlin in the middle, as they walked an occasional spark of mana would betray the barriers that surrounded them.

Meanwhile, Lucifer was in his lab studying the ants that survived the mana overload, when he felt dozens of immense mana fluctuations, startled he put down everything and alerted Selenia and David to be battle ready. Selenia immediately started to equip her new armor hastily while asking what was happening.

Lucifer replied "Several large mana fluctuations just entered the dungeon entrance" causing Selenia to slow down then said "Then I think they are the arcane university, they are checking this dungeon for any potential threats to the Kingdom".

Lucifer acknowledged her and then left to go observe the intruders.
