Gildae looked at the girl's puzzled face and decided he should explain himself more. "You could say that about my magic yes. I was born with an inner spark you could say, and proficiency for fire. I excel at pyromancy like very few ever have before me. But I didn't only want fire. Fire has it's uses but it often burns the hand that feeds it. So once I reached the proper age I applied for a college, got accepted, excelled in everything they threw at me, and was expelled for cheating. Years and years later, here I am. But you are right about the trouble I've been in. Occasionally the spark within me likes to ignite things around me without my willing it. Several of my homes have burned down in my sleep as a result. Paying for damages like that is what has made me lose a lot of my money and why my next home will made of stone. I just was never able to afford it due to my lack of money."<br/><br/>After taking a deep breath Gildae continued talking. "It would be foolish for me to expect you to fight at all with your current handicap. No I just want you along for you to witness what I can do. I am one to teach and lead by example so I figured that you could watch the way I do things and decide for yourself how skilled you think I am. Besides this a mad woman not a mad dragon, should be easy enough alone. Now if you don't mind I do believe we should start going now unless you want to set up a camp here. Or do you have a camp around here somewhere?"
