The converseration with the Dragon Rider Master was more interesting. She hung onto every word. She never had anyone explain her abilities. To her tribemates she was feared. The only ones that accepted her was the healer shaman and her family. She admired his collection as he spoke to her. He said foreign words to her but explained their meaning. She saw him as a friend and teacher. The mage teen look up at him, "Oh meh sorry meh won't ask many at once. Just no ones explained inertia, magic, an sorcery tah meh. Meh parents learn meh inertia. Shaman gots it. Thankies. When meh talks tah yah one on one, what call ya? Yah gots a name. Meh glad ya won't hurt meh. Meh hope not tah hurt yah. Meh dragon shares inertia wit meh. Yah saya magic. Not know word. Meh gonna be lik yah meh gonna know Clearvoyance, mind magic, command ice, command darkness, an learn meh dragon inertia. "<br/><br/>She whistled, "Wheewsseee" She picked up the squirrel. "Magics more powerful than warrior wif axe an sword. Them very strong. If meh can stop warrior on charg'n horse wif a bow meh gonna stay wif yah."<br/><br/>She repeated what he told her over and over. '“Slow down there student, I can only answer so many questions at once.”<br/>“I see through magic, a spell known as Clairvoyance. It’s a form of mind magic, usually, the spell is very difficult, and shows you a wide area far away. I made a modified version, far easier to maintain over long periods, and centered around myself. As exchange, the spell only shows my immediate surroundings. They all appear as colorless forms, with precise details like etchings on coins being blurred.<br/><br/>“The closest name to my magic would be inertia, as my magic comes from the dragon I originally raised. The most common name for these powers are magic, however, sorcery is also common. I have command of ice, dark, and mind magic. You are what is known as a natural, capable of using magic without aid of another being. Your dragon will enhance those powers, but you will likely be more powerful than others in the end. I want nothing but to see you all succeed. Wanting to protect those you love is a good reason to fight. Use that drive to push yourself. Everyone needs a reason to exceed yourself.'<br/><br/>She put down the frozen animal then placed her hands over each of his. "Meh tain't gonna harm yah."  She held the top of his hands they were cold, calloused, and muscular, as she placed his palms on her cheeks. "Now ya can see meh." The mage student let him study her face.. Can meh go an sleep in mmeh room. Meh knows how teh stay awake. Mey takes care they animals an tribes gots tah travel wit heard. Meh makes hide clothes wit fur. Mey knows plant good medicine. Yah gets sick meh keeps roots. Someday yah will see. Yah gots tah heal mind an heart. Yah be ready for love two years." She held his left hand and placed two fingers on his palm. "Yah will love again. Sorry for loss. New dragon help heal yah. Yah always ya animals. Thar family." She sniffed and balled his fist and struck his chest. "Tribe custom say honor you. No good bye. Mey go now. Meh be ready at sunrise."<br/><br/>The mage teen gathered her tent, fleece, cards and dice, and coat. She picked up her candy and satchel. She lumbered to the door and waved to her classmates. She turned and piled all on the bed and crawled under the covers shivering.<br/><br/>The next morning she woke up after a few hours sleep. She was tangled in the dress and hot. She sponged bathed, brushed her teeth and left her clothes on. She made the bed and gathered her belongings. She scurried to her wagon and straightened it. Her stomach growled. The teen hurried to the inn and she ate a biscuit with ham and wrapped two biscuits in a napkin. She placed two biscuits in her coat pocket.<br/><br/>It was soon after that she saw Lore Master and Dragon Master talking. She was all set for hitching up her mare that would walk behind her wagon. The gypsies had hitched up the team and placed her wagon in line. Anything she misses buying would have to be made. She glanced outside it was pitch dark. She yawned and was glad the innkeeper had a carafe of hot chocolate sitting beside the fireplace. It would be nice not traveling alone. She waited by the inn's fireplace for the others. She had enough of the classroom and no desire to enter.
