Zeek didn't bother talking with the gnome, at least he knows that he was called and so he closed his book and stood up. After putting his book away he started walking into the audience chamber, while walking he pulled down the hood of his cloak as his scarred face was showing. Taking on how many guard there are and how the room is he looked towards the woman who pronounced his name correctly and without a trouble as well. Taking a silent deep breath he started to remove the nerves feeling he had to do this well. Closing his eye for three seconds he re-opened as he opened his mouth to proceed with his presentation.
"Yes, that is correct, glad to see someone can pronounce it well. On about what I am working is simple...I discovered on how to use runes and mixed them together to combined them to make a new entire rune, I am a rune mage who would like to a personal laboratory and funding to make research but I am also a wanderer, searching for forgotten runes as well artifacts" He explained, his voice somewhat deep as he kneel down to the floor and placed down a piece of paper as he takes a pinch of coal dust and started to write a fire rune on it, the symbol looking complex but he did it in matter of seconds. Standing back up he pressed his hand, that was glowing a royal blue with his mana color, against the symbol.
The rune shines as the spell was activated, which made a small orb a fire in front pf him. "This is fire...now I will show you water" He said as he snapped his finger and made the fire orb disappear and the rune on the paper was nowhere to be seen. Kneeling back down he started writing the rune of water, he did it fast as before even though it seemed complex and hard, Doing the same thing as before with his hand a orb of water appears. "Now this all seems child play...but watch as I make a rune that hasn't been shown" He had read up runes before and know there isn't much information about them, this can be groundbreaking. Once he snap his finger like before he kneel back down and return to drawing.
The runes seems odd to say the least, it has both symbols of fire and water inside of the circle, it took him a few seconds, about ten but either way he did it fast as he pressed his hand against it for a third time. The rune shines as a large puff of steam appears around all of the room, a very thick steam that can be use as a fog. While people would had been blinded by the thick fog he drawn a wind rune on the paper and made it activate it to make the wind remove the steam. Now that he finished with that he stands before her.
"As I said before, I am traveling battle mage, I am going to be searching more on runes and other forms of magic to make new runes that the world haven't seen" That was the last thing he said and would let her reply now.
