Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

The young men, bound by a sense of camaraderie that surpassed the confines of academic rivalry, gathered around the bonfire. In a ritual that mirrored ancient customs, they exchanged tales of their most memorable moments, secrets that defined their magical journey, and dreams that awaited fulfilment.

The night took on a timeless quality as the young men, their faces illuminated by the dancing flames, delved into the realms of vulnerability and shared aspirations. Some spoke of love discovered in the quiet corners of the academy, while others revealed fears that had gnawed at the edges of their courage.

Pierre, his eyes gleaming with mirth, regaled the gathering with humorous anecdotes of their shared escapades. Laughter echoed in the flickering shadows as the tales unfolded, weaving a tapestry of shared experiences.

Amidst the revelry, Jaegar was always by himself.

The bonfire, now a crucible of shared tales and unspoken confessions, became a symbol of the collective journey of these young men. The flames, as if attuned to the cadence of their stories, flickered with a warmth that transcended the physical realm.

As the night waned, the young men, having bared their souls around the mystical bonfire, felt a bond that surpassed the constraints of mortal existence. The academy, with its ancient walls and hallowed halls, had witnessed the culmination of their magical education, and the night party became a celebration of their shared triumphs and the promise of futures yet unwritten.

The stars, witnesses to the ephemeral beauty of the night, glistened overhead. The young men, their hearts stirred by the mystical encounter, dispersed into the labyrinthine corridors of the academy, their steps guided by the echoes of shared laughter and whispered secrets.

In the quiet aftermath of the revelry, the academy courtyard stood silent, as if holding the echoes of the night within its enchanted stones. The bonfire, now reduced to glowing embers, exuded a lingering warmth—a testament to the fleeting magic of a night that marked not just an end but the inception of new journeys.

After a night of revelry, the students, exhausted but still charged with the remnants of merriment, found themselves in the Dracanores dorm room.

The party, far from being over, had merely shifted its venue. Pierre, Jaegar, and their circle of friends were animatedly engaged in conversation. Pierre, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, proposed, "How about we move this party elsewhere?"

The collective cheer that erupted from the group was all the affirmation they needed. In stealthy fashion, they gathered their remaining alcohol supplies and, with whispered laughter, made their way into the grand hall. The once regal space, now transformed into their clandestine playground, awaited their unrestrained celebration.

It was actually Jaegar's idea. He wanted to make a mess before finally leaving the academy, a small token of appreciation for Ashfield.

The party unfolded throughout the night, with an echo of laughter and the clinking of glasses reverberating within the hall's imposing walls. Benches lay toppled, remnants of energetic dancing, while funny drawings adorned the surfaces, each telling a tale of the night's exuberance.

Amidst the revelry, a particularly bold creation depicted the headmaster, Ashfield, with a humorous amalgamation of features—a face that bore an uncanny resemblance to him atop the rotund body of a jolly figure.

The grand hall, typically a place for formal gatherings, had become a canvas for their uninhibited creativity. The students, caught in the throes of their celebration, drank, danced, and revelled until the approaching dawn threatened to unveil their clandestine escapade.

As the first rays of sunlight hinted at the imminent morning, Jaegar, acting as the de facto shepherd, guided the inebriated group out of the hall and back towards the dorm rooms. The journey, marked by laughter and shared memories, concluded with the students spilling back into their respective sleeping quarters.

As the echoes of revelry gradually faded, fatigue asserted its dominion over Jaegar. The haphazard aftermath of the night's festivities painted the dorm hall in a peculiar tapestry of disarray. Jaegar, once a vibrant participant in the night's merriment, now found solace in the embrace of sleep.

Amidst the scattered remnants of the impromptu celebration, Jaegar chose an unassuming spot, perhaps unintentionally symbolising the culmination of the night's vigour. His eyes, heavy with the weight of the night's revelry, finally surrendered to the allure of rest.

The dorm hall, now shrouded in the soft glow of dawn, bore witness to the contrast of serenity against the residual disorder. A few fellow revellers, similarly worn out by the night's jubilation, found their own corners of reprieve. The air, once filled with laughter and spirited exchanges, now hummed with the gentle cadence of sleep.

As Jaegar entered the realm of dreams, the dorm hall stood witness to the ephemeral nature of their nocturnal escapade. The memories lingered, interwoven with the hushed whispers of slumbering students, creating a tableau that captured the spirit of a night that defied the constraints of routine and formalities.

As the morning sun cast its warm glow, an attendant hurried to the dormitories. Inside the dorm hall, students sprawled in haphazard slumber, their forms arranged in a dance of disarray. Dormant bodies lay in twisted positions, and scattered belongings created a patchwork of night activities.

Then an attendant entered the dorm hall, astonished to see all the students sprawled on the ground. Just by looking at the scene in front of him, he could imagine what it was like at night.

The attendant, searching for a particular student, called out the name "Jaegar Ambrose" repeatedly.

Amidst the slumbering masses, Pierre, beside Jaegar, roused him with a vigorous shake. The group had chosen a resting place on the far side, nestled against the windows on a worn-out couch.

Jaegar, stirred from his sleep by the persistent calls, groggily shuffled towards the attendant.

Recognizing Jaegar, the attendant delivered an urgent message, "You need to come to the headmaster right now."

Jaegar's brows furrowed, fatigue banished by a sudden alertness. "Why?" he inquired, the mystery of the summons hanging in the air.

By now all of them had woken up, and upon hearing the word headmaster, everyone was quite awake. Was he calling for what happened in the night?

The urgent summons from the attendant had sent a ripple of curiosity through the students, their eyes collectively turning towards Jaegar. Whispers filled the dorm hall as speculation brewed about the nature of the summons. Jaegar, exuding an air of calm reassurance, assured his fellow students that everything would be alright.

Jaegar then assured everybody that he would go and see what it was about.

With the attendance leading the way, Jaegar followed him, still feeling a lingering sense of fatigue.

As Jaegar approached the headmaster's office, the morning light streaming through the academy's windows painted the halls in a soft glow. He stretched himself as he walked, attempting to shake off the last remnants of sleep and brace himself for whatever awaited him.

Upon reaching the headmaster's office, Jaegar found Ashfield, the headmaster, standing with a welcoming smile. Yet, it wasn't Ashfield who captured Jaegar's immediate attention.

Sitting opposite the headmaster was a figure that stirred a mix of surprise and complex emotions within Jaegar.

His father, Angus Gadfraye, occupied a chair with an air of quiet authority. Jaegar's gaze, initially fixed on Ashfield, shifted sharply as he registered the presence of the imposing figure before him.

Angus sat with an enigmatic smile, hands clasped, an expression that seemed to suggest a mix of amusement and contemplation.

This man, with a robust and muscular frame, striking features, and a cascade of black and blonde hair, emanated an aura that filled the room with palpable tension. Even to the untrained eye, it was evident that Angus was no ordinary wizard. His imposing presence hinted at a warrior rather than a practitioner of the magical arts.

Angus, at the pinnacle of magical prowess, had attained the esteemed status of a supreme wizard, a feat achieved in his forties. Surpassing even the headmaster, Angus had left an indelible mark on the empire through his considerable contributions.

As Jaegar approached the desk, Ashfield prepared to speak, but Angus swivelled his chair to face his son directly.

With piercing eyes fixed on Jaegar, Angus's smile remained, portraying a sense of amusement and the weight of experience. The room vibrated with the intense aura emanating from this distinguished wizard, leaving an indelible impression on all who were fortunate—or unfortunate—enough to be present.

Angus's gaze bore into Jaegar, his eyes revealing a depth of knowledge and experience that transcended the ordinary. Though Jaegar maintained an outward appearance of composure, his mind churned with a whirlwind of questions that echoed within the chambers of his consciousness.

Why had his father come? What was the purpose of this unexpected visit? A thousand inquiries danced through Jaegar's thoughts, a cacophony of uncertainties that begged for answers. Yet, the most pressing question, one that whispered loudly within his mind, remained unspoken: Where was his mother, and why had she been kept away?

Silence hung in the room, a pregnant pause pregnant with unspoken words. The air crackled with tension, the weight of unresolved history pressing on the shoulders of father and son.

Ashfield, sensing the charged atmosphere, observed the duo with a keen eye, ready to intervene if the situation veered into uncomfortable territory.

Angus, breaking the silence, unfolded his clasped hands, placing them on the desk before him. His voice, deep and resonant, broke through the quiet, "Jaegar, my son, it's been a while." The tone carried a complexity of emotions—familiarity, distance.
