On the wall of Talon's office, there was still that picture of the plump squire. Previously, it had been stationed in the ministry building and was used by Plutus to deliver messages and news to the Headmaster. Still under the control of the Minister of Magic, it cleared it's throat loudly.
"Minister of Magic Azrael Jeremiah has a message for Headmaster Talon Windwaltz."

The Headmaster's head turned in disbelief at what the plump squire had just told him. He knew that portrait had a connection to the Ministry of Magic building, but he had assumed it might've burned or otherwise been destroyed in Azrael's attack. At least he'd hoped it'd been destroyed. The plump squire would always have a place in his office, but the idea of that ridiculous despot, that awful necromancer, that absolutely wicked rival of his hearing word into his office...
"Well, what is it?" grumbled the Headmaster in response.
"The Minister humbly request that you teach him everything you know about elementalism, for he recognizes it's potential power and wishes to be able to utilize this source of strength." The squire said, with a small bow to the Headmaster.

Talon laughed at the squire's response. 'Of course,' thought the Headmaster, languishing in his chair. 'First my cousin wants to utilize my power, now my archrival. Shall it never have any rest? Can't this ancient power just...go ahead and die?' He shook his head. Azrael was around all those years ago...it was shocking to imagine just how many years ago it was now. When Talon was young and a maverick, a headstrong newly hired History of Magic Professor with a secret power who wanted to protect the people like Agiel Firefox.
"Damn you," whispered Talon under his breath, "damn you that you would do this to haunt me. Source of strength my rear end. You just want..." He banged his fist on his desk. He wasn't really angry, just irritated. The Professor of Divination - as that was what he was back then - never showed any sign of interest in Talon's powers back when they were on the same side. Even as he trained Aidana, and Sylph, and Marina, and Yamaroshi - four consecutive Elementalists - Azrael showed not only a lack of interest, but in fact even disdain for the ancient art of combat.
Why did he want it now, huh? Why now? "Very well," Talon spoke up, "tell him his audience is granted."
The squire gave a small sigh at the Headmaster’s response. After all, he was little more than a messenger, who happened to take orders from someone with a very twisted sense of humor. “The Minister says that, should the answer be ‘yes’, to remind you that elementalism is still nothing more than petty garbage reserved for women and children. True genius lies with those who can win the game without using their own special set of rules.”
With an apologetic look at the Headmaster, the squire continued. “What Azrael truly desires is for you to make contact with the two aurors he deems the most powerful and influential: James Mustang, who was the primary auror stationed in Drakborough and Julian Forbes, former chief auror. He would like for those two and yourself to meet with him in neutral grounds, such as the Joker‘s bar in Drakborough, to discuss the present situation. The reason he states for needing your presence is that he would love to have a ‘loyal ally’ around that he knows would back him up, under the scenario that the two aurors are less than happy to meet with him.”
