The Volcano of Dusk

This was the first time Hao Ren had walked into a real magic tower, and the environment there was not as eerie as he had imagined. In fact, it looked like a reasonably well-planned and neat research facility. There were reference rooms or laboratories on each floor of the tower, while the place where the apprentices lived was a neat and orderly dormitory. There was even a housemaster, who was an old female werewolf...

There were of course, many things that matched the word "magic".For example, the magic lights which floated in the air and the gold brooms, which automatically swept the floor. There were also faint arcane creatures wandering around in the air. They were short and harmless secondary lives that had ran out of the energy wells. However, these creatures just made the magic tower look fun and interesting, not weird and scary at all.
