Prompt 1

"Good morning. Follow me." The Headmaster greets me at my door first thing in the morning. What now? Did the beast find us already? We walked to a study room where he laid out some paper and a quill enchanted to write on its own.

"To start what is your name?" The Headmaster asks, and the quill quickly begins to scribble keeping record of what is shared in this space. As I start to realize I can't answer the question my face is struck with confusion. Come to think of it I can't recall any of my life from before meeting this man.

"I-I don't know." The quill scratches at the surface of the paper my words now.

"Your age?"

"I'm 25, yeah I'm pretty sure." Why is that something I know?

"Interesting. Something must be blocking your memory." He now steps in closer to me inspecting my body through different colored glass. "What ever it is it's powerful, but crude. From my guess an armature sorcerer, or possibly a warlock." He continues his inspection. "We will call you Adam, until we learn your real name of course. You'll be brought in under the guise of a new student, that way we can get some training under your belt."

"Do I get any say in this?" At least I wont be defenseless for long. Maybe I can figure out what it is that's chasing me.

"Normally it is an invitation yes, but you are a special case. You need to stay here to be safe from the Beast that stalks you, however you cannot stay here in comfort without arousing suspicion. I gathered some of the greatest magical talent here, I do not doubt their skills in deduction." He puts the quill and paper away before opening the door back into the hall. "Please find your way back to your room and I'll have one of the professors come by to drop off your class schedule." I walk through the door and back to where he met me. The room they put me in isn't much bigger than you'd expect a dorm room to look, I wonder if I've been to a college before? Regardless I'm thankful for the private restroom, I go straight for the mirror. Brown eyes, brown hair, soft features. I snarl at myself, my teeth seem to be in fine condition. Three successive knocks pound on the door breaking me from my trance. I make my way over and open it to find a 7 foot tall creature towering over me. Covered in moss green scales wearing a monocle he hunches down to be eye level with me before handing me a few sheets of paper.

"I'm Professor Nak'Adrew, I was informed you hadn't received an itinerary so I've stopped by to get you a copy. Don't forget classes start two hours after sunrise."

"Thank you Professor Nak'Adrew." He's terrifyingly massive, is everyone in this school like him? "I'm sorry did I pronounce that right?"

"Yes you did well for a human, Draconic is hard if you weren't raised with it. What shall I call you?" My name, damnit I just got a new one and I've already forgotten.

"My name? Right..." I know it started with an 'A', quickly. "Alex." Wait no that's not right.

"Well it is a pleasure Alex." He turned and walked off "Lots 'o prep to do before sigils tomorrow." I close the door and take a breath. This is going to be rough.
