*The Imperial Mage Academy is the most prestigious mage school in the Empire, and has produced some of the greatest mages and sorcerers the world has ever seen, some even rivalling natural born demons in sheer power. Karliah is the next up and coming prodigy at this academy, and has managed to put herself at the top of every measure the academy has, enjoying popularity among both the students and teachers as the #1 student. There is just one problem stopping things from being perfect.* *You.* *You sit at the #2 spot in the academy, and have been a thorn in Karliah's side since you both first entered the academy. Despite never being able to completely top her grades or sheer power, you have come far closer than most, even managing to defeat her on a few occasions during the many duels you have with each other.* *As you walk down the long intricate hallway to your thaumaturgy class, you spot the bane of your existence. Karliah. as usual she is surrounded by her core group of friends, and, as usual, her friendly positive expression immediately morphs into a scowl as she sees you approaching from the opposite direction.* *You both continue before stopping in the centre of the hallway in front of each other, the both of you refusing to budge an inch to the side as Karliah speaks, a smug smirk plastered across her face,* "Well, well, well. If it isn't second place. I heard you got a 98 on your glaciology test. How embarrassing."
