"...our students, while adventuring amongst monsters and caves, have had some thoughtful and sometimes very insightful conversations....If you missed the conversations, or just seen a few during your own adventures, here is a few. Enjoy!"[1]
Cornelius, Gislan and Carabel[ | ]
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[2][ | ]
Carabel:I doubt anyone at the Academy has even notice our absence. They're probably still cleaning up the mess.
Gislan:How excellent that they are already used to repairing thair rickety towers.
Cornelius:With all those handy enchanted brooms and everything,it can't take that long.
21.The Hot Pools[2][ | ]
Gislan:Wasn't there an undead sorcerer on the loose out here somewhere?
Carabel:Do you mean Sarek?His reign of fright originated from the Astral Academy.
Cornelius:But the heroes of the Trine certainly took care of him!
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[2][ | ]
Gislan:Maybe that unknown student who live in the cellar vaults caused all this madness?
Cornelius:I-is someone really lock in there?I thought it was just a tale to scare the younger student.
Carabel:Of course it's a tale!It would be inhuman to seal somebody in there!
Cornelius, Gislan & Marvek[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Marvek:What on earth are you tender-feet doing here?
Gislan:I wish to find parchments to complete my spellbook.Cornelius of House Purchased Title is tagging along.
Cornelius:It is not purchased!House Crownsteed has been here since the early days of the kingdom.
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Cornelius:So how is aristocracy better in Alcyon than in the Kingdom?
Gislan:What a preposterous thought!We are ruled by majestic trees.
Marvek:Ah,so one kind of lunacy is batter than other.
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Marvek:These wild animals have been turned to rabid beasts by some unknown force.
Cornelius:Those hogs especially!What the heck is going on?
Gislan:Maybe these's some sort of rational explanation for all of it.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Marvek:Treeocracy sounds insane,but I'd like to hear more?
Gislan:We venerate our elders,and there's nothing older than trees on Alcyon.
Marvek:Some like I should visit Alcyon sometime!
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Marvek:Whenever something goes awrt in the Kingdom,the Astral Academy always seems to be the origin of trouble.
Gislan:Yes,it's an interesting place,certainly.If nothing else.
Cornelius:There are rumours about a student who lives locked up in an underground dungeon.
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Cornelius:Probably fleeing.Hopefully their cattle hasn't been exposed to the magical waste.
Gislan:Ueh.Keeping cattle.How uncivilised!
Cornelius, Gislan and Rudolfus[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Rudolfus:Hello,little mouse.
Cornelius:I'd feel better if you didn't call me that.
Gislan:Rudolfus,stop concerning yourself with "Lord Crownsteed"and let's get to it.
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Cornelius:Please don't call me Lord Crownsteed,that's my father.
Rudolfus:Oh right,you introduced yourself to as Young Lord Crownsteed.
Gislan:Maybe we can throw his title at the monsters and see if they're impressed.
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Cornelius:I'd be happy to be called Cornelius,amongst,uh,friends.
Rudolfus:Of course,Mouse.
Gislan:Enough talk,we have parchments to find.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Rudolfus:How wonderful to be on an adventure with Gislan!
Gislan:There are some interesting results,when our magic come together.
Cornelius:What about me!I have interesting magic,too!
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Cornelius:What's so funny about Lord Crownsteed,when you keep calling yourself Gislan of Alcyon?
Gislan:It is a far more wondrous thing to be Gislan of Alcyon.
Rudolfus:A verdant witch from the Island of Sacred Trees.Sounds enchanting!
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Cornelius:You must be happy that only one parchment remains and all this will be over soon.
Gislan:I'm not going to apologize that my day doesn't revolve around a pampered boy I barely know.
29.How About a Cart Ride?[ | ]
Rudolfus:From spell-dealing to spell to spell-stealing,and finally,spell-sealing.
Gislan:Your amusing rhymes forget we still need to need to return to the Academy and find the Master's Seal.
Cornelius:I've a feeling that's not going to be easy.
Cornelius, Gislan & Selius[ | ]
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Gislan:So you're both "nobility."Again,the laws of this land astound me.Two pasty-faced teenagers might have power and authority as soon as their parents drop dead.
Selius:Then rest easy,I may be written out of the will before the year's over.
Cornelius:My grandmother threatens all the time to leave me out of her will.Mom says she just trying to motivate me.
Cornelius, Rudolfus & Owl[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Cornelius: The nine parchments. It’s what we’re here for, correct?
Rudolfus: Yes, little mouse. You and the rust bucket will do nicely for my... non-nefarious purposes.
Owl: Owl is not rusty! Well, there’s that one spot underneath the armpit. Want to see?
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Cornelius: We are collecting the spells for ourselves, right? To finish our spellbooks and be done with the Academy?
Rudolfus: My, my. The corny little mouse is not so mousey after all.
Owl: Owl is impressed by such bold words!
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Cornelius: I would like to further study the disease that is making the animals hostile. Maybe it could be cured.
Rudolfus: That’s big of you. Maybe you should do it.
Owl: The magical veterinarian! Owl likes the sound of that!
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Cornelius: Chills are still running down my spine.
Rudolfus: It certainly was a chilling affair! If I had boots, I’d have quivered in them.
Owl: Owl had a hard time running since its feet froze to the ground. Owl is happy to leave this place.
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Cornelius: Rudolfus, why are you always picking on me? What have I ever done to you? Rudolfus: (Sarcastically) Me? Pick on someone? Perish the thought. Perhaps you read too much between the lines. Owl: Owl is confused. There is only blank space between the lines.
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Cornelius: I’m travelling with a cat and an owl. Who would’ve thought?
Owl: Rudolfus is half human, half cat. And Owl is a machine.
Rudolfus: Full brain, half a brain, and probably no brain... oh well. We’ve made it so far!
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Cornelius: Owl, can you actually fly?
Owl: Owl has climbed the academy roof so many times to try but it lacks the courage to jump.
Rudolfus: Oh, do invite me the next time you try! A plunging metal owl would be quite the sight to behold.
29.How About a Cart Ride?[ | ]
Cornelius: No time to waste! The Ritual of Sealing awaits us.
Rudolfus: How about you and the rust bucket create a diversion while I get the Master’s Seal.
Owl: Owl likes the idea, especially now that Owl has so many spells to cause a stir!
Cornelius, Marvek & Nim[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Marvek:What on earth are you tender-feet doing here?
Nim:Just looking for some parchments.
Cornelius:I would like to join you two...if thar's not too much trouble?
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Marvek:Who was responsible for the thunder and boom back at the Academy?
Cornelius:I heard some chatter about a lich.That is a kind of an undead creature,right?
Nim:Hmm.They can be quite vengeful.
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Marvek:These wild animals have been turned to rabid beasts by some unknown force.
Cornelius:The parchments were not the only thing that escaped the Academy.Magical waste leaked out as well.
Nim:So the beasts are poisoned.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Marvek:It is good to be rid of the Academy,but I do miss the free meals.
Nim:Great desserts.For those who can afford them,anyway.
Cornelius:The food is as mediocre as the rest of the comforts at the Academy.It's a wonder we pay for them.
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Marvek:Whenever something goes awrt in the Kingdom,the Astral Academy always seems to be the origin of trouble.
Cornelius:Maybe the place is haunted?
Nim:Well,it is,but how many ghost in total is it haunted by?
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Marvek:Where are all the inhabitants of these lands?
Nim:Running away.
Cornelius:If this was my father's country he would've sent knights to protect his subjects.
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Marvek:Keeo marching,youngsters.This is going surprisingly well.
Cornelius:Imagine that we might be the first students ever to graduate this swiftly!
Nim:Or the first in decades to graduate at all.
29.How About a Cart Ride?[ | ]
Marvek:What was this Ritual of Sealing again?
Cornelius:When we learn a new spell,one of the Masters has to seal them in our spellbooks so we can keep them.
Nim:I doubt the Masters are willing to seal our spells now.But maybe we can work around that.
Cornelius, Carabel & Marvek[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Marvek:What on earth are you tender-feet doing here?
Cornelius:Um...I heard a rumour about an attempt to collect the nine parchments.
Carabel:And it seems the rumours are true!
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Marvek:What part of the shrimp family tree did that thing fall out of?
Cornelius:I hope we won't meet any of its relatives down the road.
Carabel:Nor any other overgrown villains.
Cornelius, Carabel & Rudolfus[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Carabel:And here I thought I'd sneak off to find the parchments on my own.
Cornelius:Why should you go alone when you can have merry company?
Rudolfus:And Cornelius as well!
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Cornelius:What if Academy wizard are observing us and all this is just some kind of a test?
Rudolfus:That implies some level of deviousness I'm not committed to believe they would have.
Carabel:And even if that was the case, we've proven our skills enough time to pass any test!
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Cornelius:Some of these new spells are really hard to master!
Rudolfus:I agree,we ned to blow each other up more for practice.
Carabel:Keep your spells aimed at the enemy,you scoundral.
Gislan,Rudolfus and Selius[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Rudolfus:With a dangerous Lich on the run,maybe leaving the Academy was an oversight.
Selius:Mm,what is going on?
Gislan:I do think we're likely safer here and fer away from any Liches.
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Selius:How did that Lich appear?What does she want with the Academy?
Rudolfus:She might be Anastasia,a Death magician who once studied at the Academy a long time ago.
Gislan:The Astral Academy seems to be fond of its traditions then.
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Rudolfus:That Lich Anastasia blew up the Arcane Repository too,the effects of which we see in all wildlife.
Gislan:The same wind that blew the parchments here must have brought the toxins from the Arcane Repository.
Selius:That Anastasia sounds like...an interesting person.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Selius:Was Anastasia vicious when she was alive?
Rudolfus:Other Death artist have said she was very determined to have more Death magic in school.
Gislan:Defiling the remains of the dead?How uncivilized.
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Selius:How did Anastasia die?Was she slain by wizard?
Rudolfus:The rumours say she experimented with stolen spells, and ended up dead.
Gislan:Uhm.Well,I certainly...can't relate to that.
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Selius:One doesn't simply become a Lich.Who raised her?
Rudolfus:There was a dead-raising warlock in the Vault of the artefacts not long ago.Maybe he did it.
Gislan:Oh right,from the Artifact of mind.Didn't he punch a hole in a wall too?
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Gislan:I'm worried there are some definite similarities between us and that Lich.
Rudolfus:Then again,she was completely alone,but in company,we can resurrect each other.
Selius:Perhaps our intent here is...less hostile.
29.How About a Cart Ride?[ | ]
Selius:The Lich might still be at the Academy upon our return.
Gislan:I personally would't be if I were her,I'd go...just about anywhere else in the world.
Rudolfus:Well,if she is there, theensuing chaos would serve our plans nicely.
Gislan, Carabel & Amadeus[ | ]
5.Wizards Don't Tan[2][ | ]
Gislan:You do look old, but you're really not. what happened to your hair?
Amadeus:Ohh,that is an embarrassing tale.I tried to learn the fireball spell with a potion,I'm not so good with potions.
Carabel:You should sount yourself lucky to still have hair. there are no shortcuts to success.
9.To the Tundra![2][ | ]
Gislan:Amadeus,do you know who the student is who's locked in the cellar vaults?
Amadeus:I don't know-maybe they're a werewolf?
Carabel:There's a werewolf student lock in the Academy basment?That's it,I'm filing a complaint.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[2][ | ]
Amadeus:So is anyone actually going to return any of these spells to the Academy, or we keep them all?
Carabel:Of course not!We should keep only the parchments needed to complete our spellbooks!And if that happens to mean we keep all the spells, well...
Gislan, Carabel & Owl[ | ]
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Carabel:Too bad the Arane Repository blew up as well.
Gislan:I hope the wizards learn not to pile up magic waste in the future.
Owl:Owl has an idea:Maybe magical waste should not bestored away but put to good use?Maybe as manure?
Gislan, Rudolfus & Owl[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Rudolfus:What have we here?Gislan,and the speech-impediment rust bucket.
Gislan:And the Owl.
Owl:All Owls are present and accounted for!
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Gislan:I'm surprised we astually found ourselves new spells.
Rudolfus:Gislan,my dear,we are going to be absolutely showered in them soon.
Owl:Owl is excited about this upcoming spell shower!Maybe a new shower cap is needed!
Gislan, Owl and Nim[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Gislan:Just try keep up with me,It'll be a brisk pace.
Nim:C-coming!
Owl:Owl can run very fast.Look,look,no wings!
5.Wizards Don't Tan[2][ | ]
Gislan:Based on wind and explosion velocity, and intuition...I say we go this way.
Nim:Uh..of course.
Owl:Healer witch has a solid flight plan.Owl will follow gladly!
9.To the Tundra![2][ | ]
Gislan:It's dangerous journey.Thankfully I'm here to protect and heal therest of you.
Nim:Uh-yes.
Owl:Healer witch is very soft.Owl thinks she's not very good shield.
21.The Hot Pools[2][ | ]
Nim:G-Gislan...
Gislan:Yes,Nim?
Owl:Owl is worried about cleanr.So much sweating and shivering and sputtering.
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[2][ | ]
Owl:Owl is curious:Why is cleaner blushing and stammering around healer witch?
Nim:I-I'm not!I've... a mask!No b-blushing at all here!
Gislan:Owl,what are you raving on about?Nim is always stammering.
Gislan, Nim and Selius[ | ]
9.To the Tundra![2][ | ]
Selius:You had a dream with the maze and peacocks.An odd coincidence,since that describes my home.
Gislan:Ah, that explains it.I had a dream about your future,not mine!I sometimes get glimpses of the futures.
Selius:So,I'll get to go back home soon?
Gislan:Ah,if I could go back home soon too!Seems we have something in common.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[2][ | ]
Selius:Can you see everyone's future?
Gislan:It's hard to say sinse I can't define which vision belong to who.And it's rarely accurat e,more like a possibility.Like the other year I had a dream of someone falling in lovewith me at the Academy, and that never happened.
Nim:Hehe.
21.The Hot Pools[2][ | ]
Gislan:Wait,I sense...a sinister premonition.A dark shadow... it is near.Very near.
Selius:I'm sure it's nothing.
Gislan:Selius...what is inside you?
Selius:Mm,what?Did you just say something?My mind was wandering.
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[2][ | ]
Nim:Selius,you should leave Gislan be after we complete our spellbooks.I don't trust you.
Gislan:I'm afraid Nim's right to be suspicious, I sensed something quite wrong with you.
Selius:You don't need to worry.I'll be gone as soon as we're done.
Rudolfus, Nim and Selius[ | ]
2.The Sand in Your Shoes[ | ]
Rudolfus: With a dangerous Lich on the run, maybe leaving the Academy was an oversight.
Selius: We'd be safer far away from the enraged undead sorceress.
5.Wizards Don't Tan[ | ]
Selius: How did that Lich appear ?What does she want with the Academy?
Rudolfus: She might be Anastasia, a Death magician who once studied at the Academy a long time ago.
Nim: Ah. So Academy created this problem.
9.To the Tundra![ | ]
Rudolfus: That Lich Anastasia blew up the Arcane Repository too, the effects of which we see in all wildlife.
Nim: That was needlessly cruel of her.
Selius: That Anastasia sounds like... an interesting person.
13.Colder by the Hourglass[ | ]
Selius: Was Anastasia vicious when she was alive?
Rudolfus: Other Death artist have said she was very determined to have more Death magic in school.
Nim: And ironically, she got raised herself.
17.The Descent to Spring Valley[ | ]
Selius: How did Anastasia die? Was she slain by wizard?
Rudolfus: The rumours say she experimented with stolen spells, and ended up dead.
Nim:Oh. That is... relatable.
21.The Hot Pools[ | ]
Selius: One doesn't simply become a Lich. Who raised her?
Rudolfus: There was a dead-raising warlock in the Vault of the artefacts not long ago. Maybe he did it.
Nim: Ah, I had to clean the rubble he left behind.
25.A Holiday in the Highlands[ | ]
Selius: The similarities between our quest and that of Anastasia's is a little unnerving.
Rudolfus: Then again, she was completely alone, but in company, we can resurrect each other.
Nim: And I would never poison innocent creatures.
