@Salty: Not that you can see this, but I didn't know that. Plus I figured since Zeph had his character get left behind before...well...whatever.
After however long of a trek it was to get from Lakewest to Winterhorn, Jessica and Sasha found themselves just outside the walls of Winterhorn. "Well, let's just hope we can still get inside." Jessica muttered to herself as she continued to approach the settlement.

Echo stood beside Rita, looking all around and trying to take in the finer details of the area as a whole.
The stones of the walls of the main tower were a warm grey. The floor was tiled with black and white tiles, arrange so that the white ones formed the insignia of Xiphatia--A leaveless tree with a cresent moon behind it, while the black tiles formed the outlining. Despite there being no glass in the windows of the tower, it was pleasantly warm. Two students were sitting in leather chairs not all that far away from the entrance, presumably on break. Both were female one with red hair, the other a brunette.
As Anna entered the main tower, she was greeted by, Blake standing at a spiral staircase leading up, impatiently tapping his foot. "About damn time. I was beginging to lose my patience."
"A headmaster has many duties, mister Hawking. I had to make certain the guests were send on their way." Anna replied, walking up to Blake.
"That's Lieutenant Colonel Hawking..." Blake angrily answered, crossing his arms.
"Of course. Forgive me. Now then, shall we resume our discussion?" Anna asked, walking past Blake up the stairs.
Blake only grunted in indignation and followed suit.
[hr]
Those stepping up onto the runned pad would find themselves surrounded by a blue and white glow. They began hovering in the air slightly, then, with a flash, were teleported into the secondary tower. The process left them with a mild tingly sensation.
OoC: I am somewhat distracted, so expect my responces to be (even) slower then normal. Appolagies for this.

Dal'Sheed makes his way into the section for any books on archaeology and history on the alter.
OOC: @Nailik. Feel free to give any information describing what Dal'Sheed would find. I'll be back in an hour or so, I'm wanting to get out of the house while there's still snow there.

Lyra continued to follow the Headmaster, saying "Excuse me! Headmistress? I have a question that needs answering."
Since there seemed to be no one to stop her at the gate, Jessica walked right into Winterhorn. She looked around the settlement for a few moments before her eye was caught by the tower that floated off and away from the cliff-face. He-llo! What do we have here? She excitedly thought as she walked over to examine it more closely.
As the others went their seperate ways, Loki and Roland stayed behind, Loki doing so because he was taking in the sights.
"Well then..." he eventually said to himself, also heading towards the library. Roland hesitantly followed.
[sub]"Sir... I'd rather not enter this place. It reeks of Xiphatian curses!"[/sub] he whispered, walking next to Loki.
"If you would prefer to stay behind, I shan't object to that." Loki distant-mindedly answered, not caring about Roland's fears.
Finding the idea to be left behind in the hub of Xiphatian magic to be even less desirable then entering the tower alongside his master, Roland followed.
[hr]
As Dal'Sheed read, he would find various stories detailing the area serounding the altar, the levels of magical energy hanging in the air around it and finally, notes about the altar itself. It told that although the exact origin of the altar was nigh-indicernable, as its style was inconsistent with the ones used by neither Xiphatia, nor Legaia, it was estimated to be around 20,000 years old. Yet even with its considderable age, it had hardly sustained any damage from being exposed to the elements at all. The reasons for this are unknown.
[hr]
"Excuse me, but I am afraid there are things that require my attention. Please direct your questions to one of the other teachers on the floors above." Anna answered Lyra, briefly stopping to turn to her, then continuing to climb the stairs alongside Blake. The two of them eventually reached the second floor, and turned to the right, stepping on another teleportation pad to be teleported to the top floor of the tower.
Should Lyra continue climbing the stairs also, she would find various students conversing, as well as a woman sitting behind a desk made of oak. Her attire suggested that she was part of the staff, rather then another pupil.
[hr]
The book Rita was currently reading told of Bloodline magic--Specifically the one of the Xiphatian Royal family, the Celions. It told that they possesed the power of Summoning, as well as a descrition of how the art worked.
[hr]
As Jessica inscepted the floating tower, she would find that the exterior, mostly the underside of the tower, was covered with large blue gems that emitted a feint humming sound. It stood to reason that it were these gems that alowed the tower to float.

Lyra followed up the stairs hesitantly, and saw the teacher. She hesitated, before approaching her. "Excuse me ma'am, could you help me find something?"
OoC: @Nail: Alright, but it would've been out of character for Yukino to just stand there while Blake was like "LOOK AT ALL THIS FIRE!"
Ness followed the group into the library and gathered up a few books before seating herself and flipping one open.
[hr]
Yukino, interested in Blake's flames, attempted to follow him and the headmaster into their teleport pad.

"I wonder if they can make anything bigger than just a tower float?" Jessica pondered aloud to herself, ultimately seeming less than impressed by the floating tower. Noticing the rune-covered pad sitting on the ground in front of her, she easily made the assumption that it must have been the way into the tower. She stepped on the pad and made her way into the library, shrugging off the tingly sensation from the teleport so quickly it seemed like she didn't even notice it. She made her way up throughout the tower, gathering a few books from each floor as she made her way to the top, nodding at the folks she recognized as she quickly passed them. Once she was at the top floor, she sat down and began to read a random book plucked from what she had gathered, sighing pleasantly as she cracked the spine and examined its contents.
OoC @FPS: Is Lyra wearing her oxygen mask-thingie?
@Dot: Well, you could say Savranth happened to forget telling your characters, I suppose.
Loki and Roland entered the library and headed towards the history section part of the misc section on the fourth floor. Loki picked a book about the history of Xiphatia, sat down somewhere and began reading through it. Rolan also found a seat, but he was hardly at ease.
[hr]
The woman behind the desk laid down the book she was reading and looked up to Lyra, a bit taken aback by her appearance. "Umm... Yes. What is it you're looking for?"
[hr]
The book Rita read further told of the skill at summoning the various members of the Cecilon family possesed. It went on to say that in the current age, the head of the family, Garzic, has the most skilled. With that, the book detailing Summoning magic came to an end.
[hr]
Ness picked out a book detailing the history of Winterhorn.
[hr]
As Yukino followed after Anna and Blake, the two turned to her when she arived.
"I appolagise, but--" Anna began, only to be interupted by Blake. "The hell do you want?! Can't you see we're busy?!"
[hr]
The book Jessica read told of beastkin.

ooc: @Drak if Jessica was near the pad, she would have seen Sable, as he was standing near it
