The form had come to Nal’reim fifteen chimes into the twenty second bell of the day. The form was a request from Master Kromby on level fifteen requesting the services of a voider, one of Nal’reim’s secondary disciplines. One would believe that a summoner would be called in to aid in a summoning or do the drawing of circles for a lazy master that believes his time is better spent correcting the poor apprentice, or if none were available a lesser wizard, that was conscripted into aiding the master in question than to actually drawing their own circles. But this was not the case for Nal’reim, nope. He was being called to aid Master Kromby for reasons outside his primary speciality and into his secondary skills. The form stated that the animator needed someone with “knowledge and skills in the arts of voiding.” As the nuit packed up his workspace he thought ‘surely there is some apprentice that has been inducted into voiding that could complete this request.’ But an order was an order, the form was signed and sent to the summoner thus he reluctantly straightened up his robes, grabbed his cane and took off from laboratory 3B and began to long trek to laboratory 15. The journey would take a long while due to condition of the nuit’s body and the level of decay that was shown on the surface the body. Though the flesh wasn’t falling from his bones and he was still able to walk at a speed that some what matched that of a normal pulser with the aid of his cane, but a body transfer is still in order for the mage. With cane in hand the mage started his walk, still ranting in his mind on how this takes away from his own research and work.
Many chimes passed, many more than the undead mage wanted to acknowledge, but the nuit had finally made it to the door outside laboratory 15. Checking his appearance over in his reflection from the backside of his cane. Noticing a strand of his long silver blonder hair that had fallen out of place. The bureaucrat smoothed it back into position. After his hair was found to be correctly styled. He continued checking his appearance from making sure his robes were smoothed and clean, rings and other jewelry straightened in the correct position, and his boots weren’t covered in dust. Even though he was just assisting in a meaningless task but on the island appearances are everything. Finding no other faults with his image and that his appearance was acceptable and ready to go. The wizard walked towards the door of one of the greatest laboratories in Sahova, turning the knob he stepped inside.
As soon as the summoner stepped through the door his eyes darted to and fro searching out every detail he could take in. Never have been in this massive laboratory it was a sight. The sheer amount golems both complete and in progress laying around the workspace was mind numbing, even to a nuit who had seen a lot of overwhelming things in his long life. Walking throughout the area and dodging his fellow nuits, pulsers, and even golems. Nal’reim sought out the Master who had sent in the request for his services. Finding Kromby in a discussion with his partner Master Filch, another nuit, the voider approached the pair. The Master’s ceased their conversation as the silver headed nuit approached the pair. Nalreim bowed his in respect as he spoke “Master Kromby, Master Filch” he spoke as the nuits watched him with questioning looks in their eyes. Almost questioning to why this nuit was taking away from their research. “I am Nal’reim Qyan, sent by the Synchrograph Office per your request for a voider.” The wizard advised the pair. Master Kromby nodded with understanding. Taking a moment the Master Animator spoke “Ah. Nal’reim. Yes, I sent in a request for a voider a few days ago. One of our last voiders expired and we have been unable to replace him, thus the request. Follow me and I will show you your task.” Saying his goodbye to Master Filch the builder led the way through the workshop. Winding around parts on the ground, fellow animators working on projects, pulsers lifting and mounting, and the same golems he passed on his way in. After a few chimes, the master stopped before a giant pile of broken pieces, miscellaneous pieces of golems, and scrap metal. Kromby turned to the wizard behind him and began to speak as he gestured towards the pile. “Your task is to assist the other voiders in the removal this pile of trash and scrap to the void. It has grown too big due to the lack of another full time voider. Take your time to not overgive but do it in a timely manner.” Without a word of thanks the Master left the summoner to his own devices. Turning the pile the summoner had one thought ‘this is going to be a long night and tiring task’. With a sigh the wizard put his bag down and pulled his sleeves up and began to work.
