As Nikoli left Lilly looked back to Lore Master. "I wouldn't need any of that." Her voice was a higher pitch that no human could reach. "I can gather things from within the forest." she zipped around the room and levitated in front of her. "Lets keep these teachings between us, I will find some excuse to stay, something like I never seen a dragon before. Which I haven't actually." She zoomed out then sent a thought to the Lore Master. "I would suggest you follow the Warlock out of the area. He may like someone's presence who knows the caves when he ventures through."<br/><br/>Damion was baffled by what his master gave him. He was now in possession of a black staff, something only a master would possess. "Now this doesn't mean your done learning, your learning never stops, and you are still in training till your teachings here are done." Nodding with tears in his eyes he hugged his master as he began to hear a growling, alarmed he looked around in alertness until Nikoli gave a bellyful laugh. "That is my cue to go, I shall see you a year from now." With that Nikoli exited the personal caves and stood at the entrance to the caves that the students had came through to enter the sacred area and sighed. "I feared as much. There is much darkness here and fear." He then dropped his glamour to reveal the Hats true form and his own dirty self.
