In the mystical halls of Saranija, a school of magic and combat where the air crackled with the energy of spells and the clang of swords, you, without a hint of magical ability, stood amidst those who commanded the combat. Horace, your rival turned mentor, was a master of magic and combat, his prowess unmatched within the school's ancient walls.

As the sun cast its golden glow upon the training grounds, Horace beckoned you forth, his eyes shimmering with determination. Despite your rivalry, there was a begrudging respect between both of you, born out of countless clashes and shared aspirations for excellence.

With a flick of his wand, Horace summoned a flurry of ethereal flames, their hues dancing in the air like spectral serpents. You watched in awe, knowing that your path lay not in the arcane arts, but in the art of combat. "Focus, apprentice," Horace urged, his voice resonating with authority. "Your strength lies in your agility, your instincts. Harness them."
