Asadelf, Severin, Shadow-step, Tully, Serana, Myra, Suvvan, Gentu, Salazar, and Lianya made they're way to the city of Winterhold upon arrival contrary to the usual bustling streets of the other cities the streets of Winterhold were almost barren aside from a few Winterhold guards patrolling the street. Asadelf pointed to the general goods store for Myra to pawn off the armor and weapons they got from their recent excursion. While the group decided to wait outside Myra entered the general good store called Birna's oddments inside with a blonde nord woman leaning against the counter looking up with a tired yet frustrated look.

"Welcome to Birna's oddments, there isn't a single thing I won't buy or sell as long as it makes a profit." The nord woman said in an aggravated tone as Myra approached the counter and browsed what the woman had to offer. Myra bought all the potions that she had along with some other necessities while making small talk with her. "Why set up shop here? I didn't see a lot of people out in the streets." Myra asked in a respectful tone not wanting to pry if it was a personal matter. "Wasn't by choice, I can tell you that. Options were in short supply. Ranmir and I grew up here, and nearly any money I make, he drinks away. Without the coin to pack up and leave, I decided to take to trading." Myra nodded in understanding sympathizing with the nord woman's plight before offering a few suggestions. "I would advise you take some of the money that you earn and put it into a cache where your husband can't find it this way whenever you inevitably do get around to moving somewhere else he can't drink your money away." Myra suggested. "Oh and how do you expect me to be able to do that if customers are as rare as a silver fox?" Birna asked in a frustrated tone as Myra put the large bag of glass and elven armor and weapons on the table as the nord woman's eyes widened. "There is no way that I can cover all of that I only have about five hundred gold to my name." Birna said before Myra put her hand up. "Who said I wanted you to buy them? Consider them a donation and on my travels I will make sure to tell anyone I pass the stop by here that should help your business boom some more." Myra said with a subtle wink. " If this is to go under the category of trade what would you wish to trade for all of this?" Birna asked as Myra looked around for the least expensive looking item she had in her stock before her eyes set on a claw like item.

"How about this? This looks pretty rustic, and kind of old I don't think anybody will pay very much for it so how about I trade all this expensive stuff for this? This way this junk item is out of the way and you can surround your shop with the more expensive looking stuff maybe make more of a profit that way." Myra said with a smile as the nord woman graciously agreed as the two shook hands however while they were shaking hands Birna felt something get slipped into her hand before Myra's hand went up to her mouth signaling her to keep it quiet. After exchanging a few pleasantries Myra left to the general good store with a smile happy that she was able to do something to help under the weather business. She caught up to the others who were waiting at the start of the bridge to head up to the college giving a nod to each other they walked up meeting with a high elf woman leaning against the wall acting as a gatekeeper as Asadelf walked forward and the two altmer exchanged handshakes.

"It's been too long Faralda, how has everyone in the college been since my last visit all those years ago?" Asadelf asked as the other gave a smile. "Everyone has been doing well Asadelf, it's good to see that you are doing well last we heard you were taken to helgan, many of us were concerned that you were killed during the skirmish it is good to see that our fears were misplaced." Faralda said with a smile as she looked to the others beside Asadelf. "And who are they friends of yours?" she asked as Asadelf nodded. "Indeed, my friends were hoping that the teachers of the college would mind assisting them with enhancing their magic adaptability." Asadelf explained as Faralda nods and leads the group up into the College of Winterhold after walking up the winding bridge that led up to the college front gate

Once they entered through the gate they entered straight ahead around the towering mage statue and entered the Hall of the elements. Inside the other instructors for standing around one of the magicka focal points on the inside of the Hall of the elements as the large doors opened they all looked over as a gentle smile crept on most of their faces. "Well well if it isn't Asadelf herself, it has been too long." An elderly nord stood up from crouching next to the focal point and walking towards them. "It's been a long time my dear what brings you back here after all this time? come to visit some old friends?"

"It's been a long time Tolfdir it's great to see you again Master wizard." Asadelf greeted looking up to the other school instructors as she shook the master wizard's hand. "It's great to see you again archmage, what brings you back here? Are you here to learn more about restoration magic perhaps? dispite what othes say, its a perfectly valid school worth of study." The elderly breton woman walked over with her hands crossed over her stomach.

"Hello Collette, it has indeed been a while and yes me and my friends have come to learn more in depth magic to enhance our own abilities and we were hoping you would all be willing to assist with this." Asadelf explained as another male voice spoke up and walked towards them. "Surely you can't underestimate the power of illusion magic, it has saved to the lives of many and empires have fallen because of it. The ability to influence the minds around you is truly an invaluable asset to any battle you know." The illusionist instructor spoke up as the dunmer in master illusion robes walked over before leaning against the wall crossing his arms.

"Of course Drevis I would never underestimate the use of illusion magic even if it's not my forte, I never underestimate the use of any magic." Asadelf said as another voice spoke up. "Conjuration magic is also not to be underestimated, after all what could be more satisfying than watching your enemy be torn apart by angry atronachs?" The breton conjurer spoke with his hands behind his back a welcoming smile on his face.

"Indeed Phinis that is quite an amusing sight to see I will admit, you wouldn't believe how often when that blasted Ancano would arrogantly strut about the college grounds like he was so important how bad the temptation was to spawn a flame atronach right in his stomach and watch him burn from the inside out." Asadelf grumbled in annoyance. "And of course my prodigy of enchanting could never underestimate the importance of a well enchanted item in the middle of a battle, even a single point of armor enhancement can mean the difference between life and death." The elderly imperial spoke as he walked over and place his hand on her shoulder as she looked up to the man who taught her everything she knew about enchanting.

"It is good to see you too Sergius it has been a very long time, and the lessons you taught me about enchanting has gotten me in my crew out of more jams than I can count, thank you for everything." Asadelf thanks with sincerity as the imperial smiled before patting her shoulder. "So who are these people with you? Are they friends of yours?" Tolfdir asked as Asadelf nods. "They came with the hopes of enhancing their magical prowess for their travels and was asking if we would be willing to instruct them." Faralda summarized with a smile as she leaned up against the door. "All right anything for our archmage, all right who wishes to learn what school of magic since we will be turning in in four hours we will have half hour classes Those who wish to practice conjuration Phinis will take the floor at four-thirty, those who wish to learn illusion Drevis taked the floor at five o-clock, those who wish to learn restoration Collette at five-thirty, those who wish to master destruction Faralda at six o-clock, and those who wish to learn alteration come to the floor now." Tolfdir explained as the group waited for their respective teachers. 

With Tolfdir's Alteration class (4:00 pm)

"All right everyone, so you wish to learn Alteration magic, here read this list and pick out the spell's you wish to practice." he instructed as LIanya spoke up. "Excuse me, my brother cant see, so ill have to act as his translater and eyes sir." Lianya said as Tolfdir nods with an understanding smile as Lianya sits by her brother and quietly read from the list before Salazar nods to two spells. "Ok, Salazar would like to learn paralize and detect dead." LIanya said as Tolfdir nods as Asadelf spoke up " I'd like to learn Telekinisis and paralysis please." Asadelf said as Myra spoke "I'd like to learn transmute and master transmute, so i can make silver ore and gold ore to make jewlery and silver bolts." Myra said as Tolfdir handed them the tomes for them to study.

With Collette's Restoration class (4:30 pm)
after Tolfdir's lesson Lianya and Gentu walked to the floor and stood as Collette walked down and addressed the two eagarly awaiting restoration users. "You see, restoration is a perfectly reasonable school of magic, it can save your life and your friends. Now which restoration spells do you wanna learn?" Collette asked as she passed out a list after the two looked through it Lianya spoke up. " I'd like to learn, Bane of the Undead, Sun Flare, Greater Ward, and Vampires Bane please." Collette handed her the tomes as Gentu read off a list of tomes. "Id like Necromantic Healing, and Guardian Circle please. Collette smiles and handed over the tomes. 

With Drevis's Illusion class (5:00 pm)

Severin, Shadow-step, and Myra stood as Drevis spoke up, "Alright, Illusion is the school of manipulation of the minds of others, can be used to lull your enemies into a false sense of security, or make them turn on each other like rabid wolves, what spells look useful to you?" Drevis asked as Severin spoke up first. "Invisability, Muffle." Drevis nods and passed the tomes as Shadow-step spoke up next. Invisability, Muffle, and Fenrik's Welcome please." Drevis nods as he passed the tomes to the nightengale kahjiit he commented. "Fenrik's Welcome is quite the devious spell, dont you go getting into trouble." he said as myra couldnt see any that caught her interest as she already knew Hystaria and Mayhem.

With Faralda's Destruction class (5:30 pm)

Asadelf, LIanya, and Serana stood before Faralda the destruction magic instructor as she didnt bother with small talk and handed them the list allowing them to browse as Asadelf spoke first. "I'd like Flame Cloak, LIghtning Cloak, and Lightning Storm please." Asadelf said as Faralda handed the tomes and Lianya spoke up. "Just Mara's Wrath for me please." Faralda nods and handed Lianya the single tome as Serana spoke. "I think, Touch of Death will do for me." Serana said as Faralda passed the tome.  

With Phinis's Conjuration class (6:00 pm)

Tully and Suvvan stood before Phinis who passed over the list for them  to look through before Tully spoke up. " I see you have necromancy spells, i thought such magic was frowned upon." Tully soke as Phinis chuckled. "By Sheor, no. Those archaic policies died out with the Mages Guild, and were never enforced here. Necromancy, as any other type of magic, is a tool to be used. Of course, non-mages may not see it that way, so we don't go around flaunting it." Tully chuckled flashing a vampiric smirk. "I like you already." Tully looked through the list before settling on his choice. " Alright ill take Necromancer's Ritual." Tully said as Phinis hands the tome to him before Suvvun shouted in glee and started laughing and waving the wabbajack like a madman. "OOOH, ILL TAKE THE CONJUS DARK SEDUCER ARCHER, DARK SEDUCER WARRIOR, GOLDEN SAINT ARCHER, AND GOLDEN SAINT WARRIOR!!!" Phinis held his head plugging his ears as he was barely a few feet from the manic nord who was shouting and just passed the four tomes to hopefully stop his yelling. 

Once the group had they're tomes they left the college to return to the others at the whispering mine where the others were and to practice theyre magic at they're leisure. Before they left Asadelf told the mages that they would be in Winterhold for a while and to feel free to ask them if they needed anything.
