"I just get bored with reading. It's like something just made up. It isn't like you and me talking together. Can you understand what I mean? Even the talking books are dull. If somehow I can see what is going on, then I can understand what is going on. I like to visualize things.. For math I can see things in my mind. That is why it is easy.<br/><br/>Meditation is where you learn how to concentrate. At least in the first part of Meditation. If you can focus and be able to block unnecessary background noise, you can do magic with a 'k' easier. Wizardess Mystique is teaching me things from the old school way since I couldn't understand new way of things. I am not sure what the difference is.<br/><br/>I too enjoy horseback riding and I have missed being able to ride. I don't care for fish or swimming. I haven't done any weather spells but  Wizardess Mystique can. She says that there is more than one way to skin a cat but I don't know why you'd want to skin the cat in the first place and it is a weird phrase. I never enchanted anything either." Dermot paused to drink and finish off his breakfast.<br/><br/>Mystique sighed after her third cup of coffee. She was to meet the men in here soon and a few were actually able to make it in. Before she knew it the room was full of men eagerly waiting for their orders. They were talking in low voices as Captain came inside. Mystique smiled and got up.<br/>"Men, if I may have your attention. We will be having new recruits that Lord Lyons have arranged for us. Some will be fighting men or guards. They will begin training you to fight without magic. There will be a few mages as well to assist us magically." Mystique began her speech of what was happening and what was going on.
