After the talk with Lord Garod, my decision was clear, my goal was to enter deeper into the anchient knowledge which was hold by the library of the House of Tremere. By that I would be one day able to face Lord Drackenghast . This wish started to take so much possession of me, that again I travelled to the Marble Island in hope to meet Lord Gardod and asking for permission to become a student of the secret arts and anchient tomes.
In a little bag I had placed the Chronics which the scribe and historian Eisbo Krob had collected , the full tale of Lord Drackenghast. I found it more than needed to play with open cards and to hand it over to The House of Tremere.
But the Lord himself was not attendant . A noble lady who was introducing herself as Lady Jade Bastet promised to hand the bag over to the
Lord , and told me about a tour of Marble island in the evening hours to which I happily agreed.
From Trinsic were promised blue magical gates to the isle and a group of people already had met at the western gate to take part in this event.
I stood close to the gate, a bit outside, as I noticed a young girl talking excited about the House of Tremere. She spoke with some people about a kind of danger , some family member had bitten her .... she mentioned the word "vampire " . My sences seemed to rise into the immeasurability. If the girl speaks the truth , my intension would be on the right way.
Soon a gate appeared and I stepped through in and arrived on Marble Isle .
Except of me there was coming just one other guest, a darkhaired man with a heavy cloak around his shoulders. We were shown around the island and Lady Basket commented every building's task. As we arrived at the mages school I was more than impressed . An atmosphere of pure energy entered my body , little secret detailed items were rising my curiousity . We stepped through some white curtains and went up many stairs until we arrived in library part. I noticed the cloaked , darkhaired man breathing hard as he saw all the differnt shelves filled with books and parchments. He mentioned an even more bigger library of the House of Tremere called Naeloth . I knew I'm at the place I belong to.... these many books will help me on my quest to take revenche on Drackenghast .

The last guests had gone as we suddenly noticed some persons in brown cloaks... by their smell and speach we recognized them as orcs ... they ran into the mages school and tried to overtake it. I had to help.. I was so troubled about the fact that the books could be distroyed that I run against the doors , together with the members of Tremere. Lady Basket accepted my help and I joint them . A hard fought begun . we managed to lure them out of the mages school .
I got injured by an poisoned blade and managed to reel into the healers house before I fall unconcious. A friendly healer girl with very skilful fingers took me to a place where she poured some cure in the wound and stiched my forhead with a cristal needle.

I didnt even felt the stiches, my mind was far away, deep concentrated on my quest. I would need more than knowledge to face Drackenghast , I looked to the young healer girl . I would need to become one of them.
Who could do me this favour ?

I was stepping into the mages school , full of curiousity and hope to find answers for my questions. Noone seemed to be there, so I made the visit on my own.
On a table I saw a crystall ball, similar the one I used for my own years ago.
I looked in it , but got no access to the mists ,as if some power had sealed it.
My next steps lead me again through the white curtains up to the stairs to the library part. I was still alone in the big house, just the sound of some squeaking stairs and the fast beat of my heart filled the air .
I arrived to the room filled with old books and parchments . Did I had to ask for permission to use this library ? I did not know . My curiousity was bigger than my mind , and as I stepped closer to one of the shelves, there was a kind of invisible barriere and I couldnt get closer the books. Definitly I had to ask for permission !
My inner inspiration told me better to leave , I put my hopes off an other day .....

At least I have met Demos, the Highmage. A truly impressive person, with hair so white as the whitest snow. What has made his hair bleaching ? Was it even the higher magery itself ?
I was led into the rooms of the magery school and Demos asked me to take a seat. After some time of questioning me about my goals, he seemed to be rather confirmed that I'm worthy for a first task.
He asked me to bring within 3 days 15 power crystals , 100 deamon bones and a bowl of water. If I fail I would be punished by prohibition of further lessons.
Still his words in my mind I hurried to Doom's first level and entered the so much hated area. I've never really enjoyed these dungeon parts as my sneaking skill is bad. Happily I found behind a pilar 62 bones, quickly I put them in my bag , sending a Prayer of Thank to the Powers who might help me in my matter. Suddenly I was surprized by a couple of vampire bats , they surely were after my sweet human blood and started to surround me .
I created a field of fire and lured them in it.... after all I had the deamon bones I needed and I left this awful smelly place.
Still I needed the hard to find crystals of power . I asked an old man and he told me of Ilshanar and the gargoyle camp . A being of metal seemed to carry them and so I headed to Ilshanar, accompanied by my faithful nightmare "Willow ". As we arrived, it was already sunset. Some spooky mist took part of the strange camp . An undefinable noice came from a tent which was half hidden in the fog . I led Willow slowly forward . Suddenly a movement and a strange somehow flying "Something " came dashing upto us. I told Willow to attack, but she seemed not to realize that this being could be even worth to attack and ignored my order . Fast I had to change my strategy and casted some quick mind blasts against this creature. It seemed to loose energy and became slower .... I set some more spells up and with an last mechanic noice it fall and didnt awoke anymore. As I looked in its inner I found a strange mechanism which was too heavy to carry with me back home, but by turning it, I found one the needed crystals .
Just in this moment another of these creatures spawned and after I killed it , another and another .
As the first morning light appeared I could count 15 of lilac glimmering crystals in my bag. I was tired , but satisfied. Just a bowl of water and my task will be fullfilled.
