"He lead twenty five students to their deaths and killed an entire village, that is what happened," an Elder wearing a dark blue robe said. Sasha turned to find the elder walking down one of the many stone path's that lead up to another set of plaques. "Forty year's ago, Phineas Valkrie joined our academy, he had a lot of potential and quickly rose in the ranks. He was our brightest student, very adept at using magic. However, he was arrogent and rude, often thinking that he didn't need friends,"
The elder walked over to Phineas Valkrie's plaque. "One day our Academy was attacked; arrogantly he felt he could take on the person who was attacking. He lead twenty student to their deaths by saying they were more than capable of taking him out, all those students, including himself, were first years. The attack lasted only seconds." The Elder shook his head and looked down at Phineas. "After the battle was over, twenty students lay dead, clutching only training weapons, but he didn't stop there,"
"After the attack Valkrie locked himself up in one of the science labs and attempted to create a spell that would help him gain more power.... however... as he was making the spell he ignored all the warnings from his instructors that what he was creating was very dangerous. He kept saying that it was dangerous for them and that he was different," he shook his head. "While creating the spell he used teh wrong chemicals, the same chemicals he was warned 'not' to use, the resulting explosion killed nine hundred villagers, along with several more students," the elder said and pointed to the north. On a hill was a destroyed village, it's building turned to ash, the mountain side was blackened as if hit by fire.
"He managed to survive the explosion, only long enough to be exiled.. he died shortly after words. The only reason he is given a plaque to remind students what arrogance and short sightedness can do to people," the elder scowled, recalling the events as if they had happened just yesterday.
