"Hoooie! There is...so much land in the world," Asha said to herself, examining the vast expanse of grass, and mud, and really nothing in sight that remotely seemed like civilization. She saw roads, but no people, she saw animals, but they can't talk to her. Asha walked forward more, trying hard to avoid the main road in case she was happened upon by unruly bandits or even worse--people to ask her for directions. She meandered along until she somehow happened upon a carriage, a figure snoring very loudly, and free food cooking over an open flame. Upon further inspection, it was clear the figure was an old man, just about fifty, maybe fifty-five--if he could make it out in the wild then by golly so could Asha.
"This...this is too good to be true," Asha said to herself, engorging herself in the food. Her stomach growled just a bit, but she decided to leave behind any trace that she was here, and the first step to doing that would be to finish all of the old man's food. She inspected around, and even in the carriage, looking at anything valuable but something nobody would miss for extra money she could spend on, well, food once she got to Magnostadt--until she saw it. Asha spied a beautiful, masterfully (she assumes) crafted staff just staring at her in the eyeballs, itching to be liberated (read: stolen) by Asha.
"I really can't take this...he's so old, and asleep, he probably won't even remember he had this anyways...I've stolen worse? No! NO! Asha you can't do that, that would be just...so...wrong...?" In the midst of an going battle between her id and her superego, a wave of confidence and mettle swept over her and with impressive speed and luck, grabbed the staff, hopped out of the carriage and fled in what was miraculously the same direction as Magnostadt, neglecting to wake the "Slumbering Sage" (as she calls him) from his power nap.
As she made her way to Magnostadt, and saw the heavenly, majestic, divine, beautiful city, she walked confidently up to the gates to assert her dominance as the best damn magician that ever lived.
"I AM HERE TO ANNOUNCE MY ENROLLMENT IN MAGNOSTADT ACADEMY. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH MY PERFORMANCE HERE AT THIS WONDERFUL ESTABLISHMENT," Asha boomed. She always felt it was best to speak just a little bit too loudly at the first meeting, because she thought the drunken Imuchakkan man at her parents' bar was telling the absolute and complete truth when he said that.
