Myles shuffled down the steps into a narrow marketplace located within the Outer City of Alliria. Aryn's Bookstore was a place he frequented very often to kill time in the day. Although Aryn's Bookstore was located in the Outer City, the wealth of books and learning material there was most interesting to him.
Opening the door to the shop an audible bell would ring, informing the business owner that a customer had stepped in the store. Wheeling from behind a tall bookshelf was a little, old man wearing plain breeches and a maroon overshirt.
"Ah! Myles my boy....been a good few days since you stopped in last. Did you enjoy that book on Ancient Civilizations?"
"Why yes Aryn, it was a fantastic read. Sorry it has been a while. I have been working with my father on drafting some updated maps. Any new arrivals?" Myles poised.
The old man, known as Aryn had stopped a moment and cradled his chin with his fingers and reflected on his inventory "Sorry lad, not today. I only get a handful of people in here, no doubt because I am in the Outer City and not the Inner. Did you ever find a teacher or mentor to help you hone magic?"
Myles gave a brief frown at what Aryn just said. "No, I am still searching. I thought maybe I could find another book in here that might give me some new insight"
Aryn came around from behind the counter and stood next to Myles, notably shorter than Myles but he looked at Widogast with such a gaze that it almost brought Myles down to his level.
"You can learn alot from books son, but the knowledge you seek must be learned...out there. You can come in here and read all you want about the Arcane arts but to really master it, you have to practice it and go out there to learn. The natural world is a better teacher than parchment can ever be sometimes."
On that token, Myles nodded and seemed to know exactly what he was talking about. He put his hand on Aryn's shoulder and gave the man an affirmative pat.
"Thank you Aryn. You have been a great friend to me. I do need to find my way....out there. I just worry about my parents and I worry that I will never find what I am looking for."
Aryn frowned and said in a bolder tone "Don't worry about your parents, Alliria is safe and they will be fine and you will NEVER find what you are looking for if you stay around Alliria. You may have to travel to even find a mentor now. I know where your heart is and you should set out and find the answers to all the questions you have son."
Nodding in agreement, Myles turned around and headed out of the shop. He was determined to leave Alliria more than ever now. The young scholar would head home and inform his parents before leaving this realm of safety.
