《The Inventor of Magic》4: Richard's letter
Advertisement
I recognized him from seeing Richard talk with him quite a bit. Yes, that short blond hair and annoyingly good looking face... I think his name was David.
"Ah, Miss Crow what brings you here. I thought you were at the gate.",
"Headmaster. This boy here was late and I brought him here as he said he had a message for you.",
David looked at me curiously before saying.
"Thank you Miss Crow, would you be so kind as to return to the gate?", David said with an award winning smile.
"Yes Headmaster.",
With that 'Miss Crow' left the room and closed the door.
"So then, Miss Crow said something about a message.",
"Yes", I handed David the letter.
"What do we have here then?",
I just stood there awkwardly whilst waiting for David to finish reading.
"So... Zach... How did you get a letter like this?",

>>>DAVID POV
*Knock* *Knock*
Oh a visitor, just before I was about to go on stage too, well better male it quick.
"Come in.",
"Excuse us.", a woman said as she opened the door and walked in followed by a boy.
Who is this boy. He is dressed way too badly to be a student... Is that the school logo? What is going on?!
"Ah Miss Crow, what brings you here. I thought you were at the gate.",
"Headmaster. This boy here was late and I brought him here as he said he had a message for you.",
Really? Interesting.
"Thank you Miss Crow, would you be so kind as to return to the gate?", I said with my award winning smile.
"Yes headmaster.",
With that Miss Crow left the room and closed the door.
"So then, Miss Crow said something about a message.",

"Yes", the boy handed me an envelope.
"What do we have here then?",
I said whilst opening the envelope and pulling out the contents. Inside was a letter and what looked to be a check.
First I took the check and looked at it.
###
###
The sum of £50,000 to be transferred to Silyan High bank account from Improm Industries bank account
###
What!? Improm? As in the original manufacturers and inventors of magic devices, Richard's company? How's this kid got their backing and why is this 5 times the admission fee.
Uh. I don't want to think about this. Let's just read the letter and be done with it.
###
###
Hello David,
I'm awfully sorry about this inconvenience but could you admit Zach into your school. I know this is short notice but I'm cashing in one of those favors you owe me. I've enclosed £50,000 to cover the admission fee and any other expenses. If you mess this up you might greatly harm my company, so don't. Also he is quite 'advanced' in using magic, so consider that before putting him in classes.
Yours sincerely,
Your friend Richard Improm
P.s. Seriously don't mess this up!

Er...
"So... Zach... How did you get a letter like this?",
"Richard gave it too me. He was quite adamant that I come here.",
"Right...?",
What the hell! Who is this kid? He must be from some really rich family to be able to affect Improm Industries but if that were the case, why is he dressed so... Messily.
"Well... Zach I'm sure I can admit you at our school. Let me just write a few details down and we can finish this conversation after the introduction assembly. Come back to this office afterwards and we'll finish the procedures. Now head off and find a seat in the auditorium.",

After that Zach just walked back out of the room and closed the door behind himself.
Now alone I could decide what to do next... Quickly I reached across and grabbed the phone whilst plugging in a few numbers.
*Ri~ing* *Ri~ing*
"Hi, David here could you bring across the various files and tests needed to admit a new student to the auditorium office before the end of the assembly... Yeah, thanks.",
*sigh* What have you gotten me in for now Richard.

Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.
