The door opened to reveal the midnight king as he lounged at his desk. dress shoe clad feet crossed and propped on his desk. A smile had begun to spread across his features as he heard her tenative voice. "Ah~ the apprentice returns~" he purred out, looking over a metallic looking orb held in his hands. He reached over with an off hand, then made a smooth stroking motion over the desk, and there were suddenly three books neatly on the table. "why so timid dear? dare I say...you look like youve seen a ghost." he snickered and glanced up at her, then motioned her forewards.<br/><br/>Suddenly a force took hold of her, drawing her body forewards casually. It was as if a huge hand had gently taken her and brought her forewards to the front of his desk. "Youve had a rather laid back time here at the if i dont say say so myself." he then nodded and tapped the rune encrusted books. "now...im afraid, I cannot let you settle in any longer. forces better left unspoken have began to place thier chess pieces... and although Kenrou is a capable warrior, even the bearer of the mind cannot work alone." raising his hand he motioned to her. "Mind...the heart, emotions, the body and the soul....all need to be in harmony and awakened. at the same time, you need to be well versed in your own training to use any of them properly..."<br/><br/>lowering his hand to the books he licked his lips. "before you lie three books of my own make...three paths, three tools. Necromancy, Blessings, and Fae magics...Necromancy should be self explanatory, and though it has a dark reputation can certainly be used for good. Blessings are also self explanatory, revolving around enhancing and healing others and yourself...then there are the fae magics, which will allow you to manipulate and control the five major branches of elements and all the subranches..." pausing to let his words sink in he then continued. "Before you leave this room, you will also learn how to summon. select a book and get to know it well." lifting his hand, he then held out the metal orb. "There will be a thunderstorm where you are headed...once you hear thunder, stop and sing to the storm. You must catch the lightning, with this." lifting the orb in emphasis he continued. "now...Ill take your questions. I imagine there is much on your mind, so do not hold back...you may not have a second chance."
