[i]Alyssa's already bright eyes seemed to brighten up further behind her glasses at the mention of Alon being a mage.[/i] "I'm a mage as well," [i]She began, noticing his secrecy, and wondering why it was so.[/i] "Alyssa Orime Melningsburrow; most call me Ao, but I go by Lys, Lisa, or my full name. I come from Echo City; it's quite a ways away, I don't recommend searching for it on an atlas. My knowledge as a mage comes from being a graduate from John West Academy for Mages of All Kinds, or John West, for short. Well... I haven't seen very much, as of yet, besides what oddities there are here in Dojoville; and there are quite a lot." [i]She shrugged, knowing that her "story" was quite bland, but that wasn't her fault, she told herself every time she heard somebody else's story. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous at all the things others had seen and felt, and it seemed to her that she was new to most things around Dojoville and the massive dojo nearby.[/i]
