Things were hard for Damian during the winter as much of the time is spent trying to learn what he can while eking out an existence. Luckily the magical headquarter provides many small amenities that they don't seem to mind Damian using. As fortune would have thought, he heard word that a flea market was in the city so he made his way to hock some wares.

This provided a little money in his pocket much to his relief. The next day, one of the sages, Morgyn Ember, invited him to a some sort of Humor & Hijinks Festival in the city. There was some colorful folks there and both Damian along Morgyn decided to participate in the festival.

The end result was the duo winning which included a 500 simolean cash prize along with some other goodies! With all the money collected in the past few days means he was able to buy some camping gear along with his own market table. Things were looking up for Damian as the first days of spring hit!

Not much longer after Damian receives a random call. One of the student, Circe Glimmerbook, whom he met briefly wanted to challenge him to a duel....a finally a chance to prove himself! He accepted the challenge and made his way to the dueling grounds in the Magical Realm.
