35th of Summer, 514
Gilva was ecstatic when he left his cottage. He was so sure that everything would occur in his favor, that he decided to leave all of his belongings at home...even his cloak. It still rained throughput the city, but his excitement had energized him to the point that he simply didn't acknowledge it. It had dawned on him, that if he went to the library there was a possibility that he could find a book that could help him improve his dancing, hunting, and/or storytelling skills. If he were lucky, he might even find a book that could teach him a new skill altogether.
The walk from west street to the Zeltivan University was a short one, due to their close proximity. For a moment, the boy had stopped to gaze upon the beauty of a nearby building: Priskil's Spire. Unlike the other buildings in Zeltiva, this one stood out because it was practically a white tower! This detour had exposed Gilva to the rain for so long, that it soaked his clothing and his hair. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to enter the building and learn more about the Goddess that this building was named after. But his desire to increase his skills had overtaken him, so he decided to put the Goddess off for another time.
Gilva entered the campus of the university, and his excitement funneled throughout his body. When he had enough Mizas, he would become a student. For now, he would simply have to make do with what he could. Since he couldn't acquire formal instruction, he would take matters into his own hands. After all, hard work and determination should be able to count for something. The only problem was...he had no idea where to go. He knew that the library was in the University...and that was it. If there were a sign or a map that indicated where it was, it was fully lost on the boy.
However, Gilva was determined to reach his goal today. Even if it meant that he would have to ask someone for help. So, the boy sat down in the quad area. Unbeknownst to him, the spot he had chosen was in the path towards the living quarters for students. He was clearly in the way of any students that wanted to leave their dormitory, but this appeared to be oblivious to him. Or perhaps it was his intention, to make his presence known to the first student going to or from their room. In either case, a confrontation was bound to occur.
