Z woke up to Arc's tongue. Z had a much lighter look to his face than last night.
"Thank you, Arc." He rose to his feet. "Silvia, why are you here? You said you've been following us for a while, and that we're stuck with you. Why? I like company, but I at least like to know who traveles with me." He paused for a second.
"I'm sorry. That was rude. I guess I can't expect you two to talk about yourselves if I haven't. My name is James. I am a philosopher of the Arcanes and Magics from a place called Mirawold. There, I said something about me. Your turn."

"My name is Silvia Rose Trainia, I guess I am part elf part human... I have these." She showed them the roses and vines on her arms and on her legs. "So I guess that is just an elf thing. My father got taken by an army. I don't know where he is. You know they all need blacksmiths. I live alone and people here said that without my father here they were going to kick me out...Now I am going to find out more about my elf mother, I was going then I saw you and I felt that you had trust and honor. There, is that enough?" She said haughtily.
Suddenly she looked down. "Sorry that was rude. I just hate telling people about me. My father said I can't trust anyone, but you feel like I can trust you."

"I like those, they make you unique" He laughed. "not that you aren't already."
"I don't remember my family, I left them after i phased, well not I left THEM as much as THEY left ME. But as you can see, i turned out fine." He stopped.
"Now you know my story."

Z listened to their stories. "Interesting. You both are human, but you both also have a high concentrate of Aether." He took Silvia's hand and examined it oddly, almost as if he was looking beyond her skin.
"Humans are the only creatures that I have found that do not naturally have Aether. Other beings are born with it, or eat it from the plants or other animals. But humans, they absorb the Aether into their own bloodstream..." He began rambling under his breath, in a low muttering voice.
He walked over to Arc. "I am guessing yours is based upon your lycanthropy. And Silvia's is probably from her mother."
Z noticed the confused looks on their face, and quickly corrected his "magic slander".
"Um, sorry. I'm so used to talking to myself, that I talk with words that most people don't understand.
How should I put this?...Aether is defined as...Nature's blood. At least in most books. It flows in the soil, grows into plants, then flows into us. It gives most creatures strength, or the ability to manipulate Nature itself. It is what makes dwarves short and powerful, and elves slender and magical. It is what gives you the power to evolve" he gestured to Arc. "As well as stand out " he said, pointing to Silvia's ears.
"The basics of all magic revolve around Aether. I can teach you, if you'd like."

"Phase not evolve." he corrected. "i've never thought about magic."

"We should get to Silvia's house, before we practice. We need a place to rest before we attempt magic" (won't be on for the next couple days. This is just to buy time. I will message back on Monday)

(oh ok) "Come on then, this way." She said as she grabbed her basket and walked out and headed north. Then she walked out into a crowded street and waited for Arc and Z. (we will just say Z is following us)
People suddenly stopped and looked at Silvia and her companions. Silvia groaned. "Get on with your life people." As she said that one man turned. "Silvia you get with your own kind. Follow him there!" He pointed at Z. "Even that poor guy stuck with you." He said and pointed at Arc. People nodded in agreement. Silvia's face turned red with anger.

Z ignored the people. Being a sorcerer brings about much unwanted publicity, which he is used too.
"The first thing to know about magic is origin. Where magic comes from. I said before that magic came from Aether, a liquid that flows in the veins of all creatures. but different creatures have different Aether in their blood.
It has been divided into three main categories: There is Silver, allowing rapid evolution, and is the strongest of the three. It is also the most valuable, for it will even evolve to your own blood if consumed. Elves have a large quantity of silver Aether in their blood, which shows in their pointed ears, pale skin, and slender bodies. Dwarves have a lack of silver, which is why they are short, and their are little differences between female and male dwarves. I believe it is the cause of Arc's lycanthropy. The interesting thing about silver Aether is that it is the bases for all Aether, and can evolve into the other two types, meaning that with practice, even Arc can cast magic.
The other two Aethers are green, and blue. Green gives you increased strength, which dwarves have much of, allowing them to wield axes that are larger than they are. Green Aether has also been used to revitalize the body during a difficult surgical procedure in my land. It would cause the body to strengthen, and allow the body to live after the heart stopped for a few precious minutes, allowing the surgeon to finish the job."

"Wow." Silvia said as they stepped inside a little house right into a kitchen.

"There is also blue Aether, which allows one to use nature's powers to their own will. In other words, it makes you magical. Higher concentrated forms has been given the name 'Mana', and is much more powerful in terms of magic. But Mana is rare, and takes true skill to absorb from live forms or the land."
Z sat down in a chair in the kitchen. "Aethers actually have a meaning for this color code. Later on, I will have to show you two how to extract it from blood."

"That is amazing. And to think if I didn't follow you 2, I would have been clueless." She said as she sat down the basket. She walked over to a bookshelf and all the books titles were in the ancient language. She grabbed a book titled 'Shur'tugals Risa'. "I have read about half of the books," She said as she handed the book to Z. "but this one is the only one that talked about some magic."
She put a clay pot of water over the fire to boil for some tea.

(Hey, Arc, feel free to jump in at any time)
"Words of Power are difficult to control, so try and use the words I teach you. When you feel that you can cast stronger spells, make sure you have the energy to finish it.
The spell I used last night, 'Dadaingo', is probably one of the most healthy and safe spells ever. It mixes 'Dadain', meaning day or sun, and 'go', which means forward or gun. Thus Dadaingo is 'Sun Gun'.
'go' is not really a true word of power. It was ...er...created, or forced as a word for magical and scientific purposes. Magic scientists of Mirawold tampered with the possibilities of making their own words of power, which they called 'Modern' words of power. These words are considered blasphemy and heresy against nature in some parts in our word. I would expect the same here, so be careful when you use them."
