	“I would be honored to help, though I do not know if I can be of any real value!” Astrophel said with a small yet hollow giggle. “As for you, it is a pleasure to meet you.” Astrophel said to Ambrose, clearing away their alchemical equipment and extending a hand out towards him. [Read more]

Astrophel walked long, embroiled in self loathing, they eventually saw Scarlett on a nearby bench working on something. Deciding that conversation with a friend and engagement in simple crafts would do well for their psyche, they proceeded to sit down next to Scarlett. “Salutations Scarlett, I must say I envy your craftsmanship. I admit I have not practiced much. I devoted most of my free time to my research yet that has yielded rather disappointing results. Now all I have is my alchemical work.” They talked rather lightly yet that concealed a heavy heart. Almost as heavy as the myriad flasks they produced from their robe and proceeded to busy themselves with.

Astrophel, after that rather… peculiar encounter, managed to make their way back to their room without any further trouble. They decided that it was finally time to read the book they had gotten from the library. So without any further delay, they began reading.

The Beasts from the Sky

On a bitter winter night with no moon, several objects fell from the heavens and burst aflame as if they were truly stars colliding with the ground. Yet it was not the flame that bore us ill will, but what emerged. Instantly, several shadows fled the light, as if they feared it, with blinding speed. We almost believed that their presence was merely an illusion; how wrong we were. The next months were evil times. It began slowly, occasionally a hunter would go missing in the forest. However these creatures became emboldened and revealed themselves to us fully. They would attack under the cover of night and would ransack our grand city. They would tear down walls and feast on king and commoner alike. We were plagued by them frequently. However, we learned that they fear the light for good reason. They derived their strength from the void of darkness and in the presence of bright light, they are no more powerful than a man. Their appearance also changes from an incomprehensible monster to a that of a mere man. With this knowledge we have eradicated their filth from the lands yet I write so that many shall remember the hardships we went through

After reading this introduction, Astrophel turned the page and saw drawings of these beasts. Their human forms looked similar to Astrophel themselves and their true form reminded them of… no, they refused to think about that night any longer. They then closed the book and began to ponder about the knowledge the book had given. “So I have sated my desire to know my true origins, yet I almost wish I have not. I know realize that I am not meant to be here. I am unnatural, a plague to the naturalborns of this world.” Astrophel then decided to go for a walk to clear their mind, stashing the book away for future reference.

	Astrophel, on the way back to their dorm, passed what they believed to be the same blonde girl that they had just encountered. Their curiosity piqued, they proceeded to question her. “I hope you’ll pardon me once again but do you possess the ability to teleport? I believe I had already encountered you and yet here you are in front of me” [Read more]

	“Then I shall impede you no longer, I bid you adieu.” With that Astrophel decided it was best to return to their room. Perhaps they could now get started on that book. They did take a rather long break after all. [Read more]

Astrophel also got up, relieved that Scarlett at least got over the chocolate, “Farewell then Scarlett, I shall meet you once it is time for the celebration. I suppose I too should leave from this area.” With that, Astrophel got up from the cafeteria and made their way out. They proceeded to wander the halls in search of something to do. They turned a corner and almost bumped into two girls. One of which they recognized from the cafeteria.“Ah, pardon me, I trust that you two are alright?”

	Astrophel sighs, in awe at how someone could ignore such a grave warning in a sugary euphoria. “Scarlett, I understand your excitement yet I implore you to listen to what Kalyteros has to say.” They then gently tapped her on the shoulder trying to get her to snap back to reality. [Read more]

	“Quite the sleuth are we?” Astrophel said with a slight laugh. “Very well,” they proceeded to reach back into their robe and pulled out a small bar of chocolate. They then broke off a few squares and tossed them over to Scarlett “I always keep some extra nourishment on my person, but I appear to have been caught in the act!” [Read more]

	“Ah, it is nothing, I was simply adjusting my robe,” Astrophel quickly said, “I rarely find any use for such luxurious clothing so it often folds due to being relegated to the drawers for extended periods of time. I do hope that I look presentable.” [Read more]

“Ah, I did not mean to evoke troubling memories.” Astrophel quickly apologized, “But now we know that Kalyteros may indeed be truthful. Though we cannot know for certain until the ball.” Astrophel decided to stay with Scarlett to provide her company as the information seemed to cause her dejection. They began reaching into their robe for something to give to her but then quickly decided against it, they could manage themselves, they had trained constantly to prevent a repeat of that grievous incident, they did not need help and even if they did, they did not deserve it after the lives that they had taken.

	Astrophel found Scarlett in the cafeteria and sat down next to her. “I’ve been searching for you. Kalyteros has given me more information regarding the assassination. The assassin goes by the name of ‘Sydney’. Are they familiar to you?” [Read more]

"Quite the sleuth are we? Very well I shall drop my facade. Protecting her was already my intended path Kalyteros, yet you have proven useful. Now I know for certain that there is an assassin. I must bid you farewell but know you have my gratitude" Astrophel then walked back to where Scarlett was but noticed that she was not there. "Perhaps she went back to the cafeteria, it is reaching lunchtime about now, I shall make my way there." On their way to the cafeteria, they began to ponder about Kalyteros "first he orders an assassination, then he arranges every possible measure for the defense of the target, he must be up to something"

Astrophel was returning after changing into their ballroom attire. Their battered cloak and tattered gloves had been replaced with a deep blue robe emblazoned with arcane golden patterns and a set of elegant, lustrous bronze gloves. On their way back to Scarlett they encounter Kalyteros. Knowing the potential danger this conversation could pose, they kept their guard up but talked as if nothing was wrong. "Greetings, Kalyteros, I hope you have found relief from what was troubling you earlier?"

"You have no need to worry about my safety," Astrophel reassured Scarlett, "I am rather capable of holding my own in a fight and more importantly, I do not have bear the burden of an assassin after me, a luxury you sadly cannot afford. I shall accompany you, but I must put on more appropriate vestments first." Astrophel then began making their way back to their room. As they walked, they reminisced; they would not allow any more deaths to happen as a result of their action or inaction, not after that terrible night so long ago. Even if Scarlett should deny any protection, they would still protect her, it was the only way they could hope to right their wrongs and they knew that if they were to leave Scarlett to be and she died, the guilt would swallow them whole.

Astrophel initially thought about going back to their dorm once Scarlett left; however something deep within their mind told them that something was off. Due to this, they shifted into a shadow and began to secretly follow Kalyteros and Scarlett. They made their way to the balcony and listened in to their conversation. They were secretly glad that the conversation was short; the midday sun was especially brutal as Astrophel could not shield themselves with their parasol while in their shadow form. Once Kalyteros left, they shifted back to their normal form and proceeded to discuss with Scarlett what Kalyteros had revealed. "Manipulating someone to kill you and then warning you about it?" They asked incredulously, "what an odious creature, it is probably best to stay away from him. But there is the rather troubling notion that there is now a rogue assassin after your head. I shall accompany you to the ball, if it be alright with you, as I trust that together we can fend off whatever ruffian this may be."

"Ah it appears we have a small bit in common then!" Astrophel remarked about Scarlett's love for reading. "I suppose I should give you my name, after all you were kind enough to provide me with yours. I am Astrophel and-" Astrophel suddenly heard a familiar voice nearby though it seemed... different, more angry, and even a hint of spite lingering off of it like a noisome aroma. "Pardon me Scarlett, we shall perhaps meet again another time, I sense something rather troubling is at play here." With that, they turned around and began to search for the source of that voice, but they didnt have to look far as only a few feet away stood Kalyteros, though something looked... different about him: he looked more cold and stoic than the glowing young man in the library and he still had that limp from earlier. "Kalyteros?" Astrophel addressed his earlier acquaintance, "what seems to be the matter?"

	“Yes I indeed plan to attend the ball. My attire is still within my quarters however,” Astrophel responded to Scarlett. “But where are my manners? I have not even condescended to trouble you for your name!” Mentally, Astrophel decided to hold off on reading the book. After all, they had spent what felt like an eternity researching, perhaps it was finally time for a break. [Read more]

Astrophel began reading the ancient tome. What they read utterly fascinated them. They only read a few pages but those few pages were enough to excite them greatly. They decided that their dorm room would be the best place to revel in their newfound discovery. They finished their tea and proceeded to make their way out of the dining hall. However, Astrophel soon encountered a large group of students milling about the halls. With uncharacteristic haste, Astrophel quickly turned into a shadow and began hurtling along the walls and across the floor to their dormitory. The only thing running faster than their body was their mind. “Does this truly hold the answers that I seek?” They asked to themselves as they glided past hordes of students.. Once they were past the crowds, Astrophel reverted back to their original form. However they noticed that they emerged right in front of a unique looking satyr already dressed for the ball. Realizing that they had gotten too far ahead of themselves, Astrophel quickly apologized. “Ah, apologies, I trust that I did not disturb thee in any significant manner?”

Astrophel, having borrowed their book, left the library. They were sick of being hunched over at the table in their room reading books and decided that a change of scenery would do wonders for their mood. By this time, the sun was starting to rise higher, causing reading on the Academy grounds to become rather undesirable. Perhaps a small table to themselves and a cup of steaming lavender tea at the cafeteria would do quite nicely. As they made their way inside an to a small unoccupied table, they began to hear a small commotion. They turned around and saw a rather tall blonde boy in extremely casual clothes talking to a girl with wings and horns. Astrophel could not make out most of the words but they did catch a few snippets, "Tearing invitations?" they thought to themselves "How indecorous." Astrophel spared the, in their opinion, rather odd duo one final glance before turning around and seating themselves at their table.
