Pearl looked up as she sensed him. Hearing his words and smiled at him. "Thank you. I built it myself to have a place to relax once I finished the rigorus training I undergo when I practice various types of magic." She said with a warm smile. She looked back at the pages. She must master this spell. There was so many in the book. She lifted her gaze again. Meeting his own. "Yes. This is the book of a weather mage friend of mine. I have other old books. Including one you might like to look into." She smiled a bit.<br/><br/>"I don't just deal with phoenix magic. I dabble in weather magic, dragon magic, even griffin magic. The book I spoke of belonged to an elder griffin. I saved his life and his son and I are good friends. His son has little skill in magic though. I have mastered the phoenix magic and I am determined to learn all forms of magic that there is. I want to be a master magic user. So I can teach others of different kinds of races like ours...to use and control magic to the best of their ability." She sighed a bit. "I really miss my griffin friend. His name was Vigari." Vigari was the name of the head elder who passed away last year in a fight he lost against a rogue dragon. "He died last year in a fight with a dragon. Something of a territorial dispute. The dragon was a rogue. I worked with his son to bring him to justice. He was teaching me to control the magical properties of the spirit. However, now I must continue in my lessons without him."<br/><br/>She looked down at the book. "I wish to bring peace between griffin and phoenix. There has to be a way. It might be hard and nearly impossible to find...but I'm certain there is a way to settle old disputes. Anyways..." She looked up. "Want to learn some phoenix magic?" She asked and offered at the same time. Closing the old book for now. She looked outside. "Junari, Vigari's son, will be by sometime tomorrow. He'll probably walk here if its still too stormy to fly. Though the goofball does tend to do stupid things like tempt the lightning to strike him down." She shakes her head. Snapping her fingers and a fireball appeared in her fingertips. She launched them around Nikolai and started a fire in the fireplace. It had felt rather chilly in her house. Junari also tended to be highly territorial and protective of those he deemed worthy to call friends. The new head of the elders so to speak.
