The news of a war comimg apon Romia were spreading like a plague through out the province. Edward Gray, the leader of the Romians, started to worry for his people and went to the High-Priest Appolon for advice. Appolon was one of the 3 High-Priests from the Order of the Creator, and have always been a spiritual guide for his people, both in times of peace but in also times of war. As Edward comes out from the palace, he stumbles upon Syris, the Great Wizard of Dhalia. Standing tall in front of the palace stairs, with his white robe and red staff in hand, he makes a request to the guards to speak with Edward.

- I am Syris, Wizard of Dhalia, at your disposal sire. I wish to speak with you at once.
Edward takes a good look at the wizard and even tho he had more pressing issues at hand, he said to Syris:
- What is your purpose here, wizard?
- Can we talk somewhere more private sire? I have extremely important news to reveal to you.
- Very well, wait for me in the Council's Hall. I shall be with you soon.

They part ways and Edwards continues his way to the High-Priest. He arrives at the Creator's Hall, in the middle of the inner city, a beautiful building, preceded by a green garden with two white trees and succumbed by vegetation. A true altar of life and peace. Edward goes inside and greets the High-Priest.

- Greetings High-Priest Appolon. I come to you in times of distress and fear. I have come to get your council.
- Blessed be sire! I knew you would come, and i am prepared to give you the Creator's will in your troubles.
- High-Priest, the tides of war stand against us again. We are the last bastion of peace and freedome in the world of Tarhia. Krue's attention is now twards us, what is the Creator's will in all of this?
- The Creator's will, never reveals itself to us untill the time is right, and we are prepared to understand it. Patience you must have my lord.
- Patience? We stand before an empire, a army much much larger than ours, and you tell me to be patient? In all your wisdom High-Priest, i cannot just stay and wait for our people to be distroyed by Krue's army.
- I understand you are troubled by this situation sire, but you must try and be patient. I will go in the Highlands at the Temple of Creation and consult with my brothers to ask guidance from the Creator.
- I await your return High-Priest. Make haste for we don't know how much time we have.

Edward leaves the Creator's Hall, and heads for the Council Hall, to speak with Syris, hopeing that he will find some answers from the wizard.

- Sorry to have kept you so long wizard. We may talk now. Speak your mind.
- Sire, i know we have a great war ahead of us, and there is no way of dodging it. Krue's wrath will come sooner or later upon Romia and i am here to offer you my services.
- It is always good to have a Great Wizard by my side. But you seem to know more than i. What is it?
- My discipols have brought to my attention that Krue has started to turn all the wizards in the fallen regions to fight by his side. Many have fallen to his charms, and the Tarhian army grows stronger by the day. We must do something about it sire.
- What do you propose?
- It has been long sice Romia has trained wizards, but i wish to take on that resposability and begin once more the making of wizards and enchantress.
- You have been a good friend of the Gray family Syris. I shall trust you in this and appoint you once again Leader of the Magi Order.
- I thank you sire, and i will not let you down.

Even tho Syris was much older than Edward a sence of mutual respect was found between those two. Syris went on to the Obelisk of Time where he would begin the training of new wizards and enchantress. He went into the town and neghbouring villages in search of new apprentices. Soon the Obelisk of Time was once again flowing with magic, and the first sign of hope in the war against the Tarhians shined down apon Romia.
