Vidya was on her way back to the dorms when she saw it. A dark elf and a human walking together. Had she been in one of the towns on the border between elven and human lands, that would be nothing unusual. But here? Calling it unusual would be an understatement. She had the feeling that she'd seen both of them in classes on basic elemental magic, though given the size of the school, not knowing them by name wasn't surprising.<br/><br/>She reached out with her mind, tugging at the wisps of magic left by the spirits of those already gone. Finding a suitable candidate, she whispered into the mind of a field mouse that had died no more than a few months earlier. She conveyed information not with words, for a mouse had no hope of understanding such things. Instead, she spoke with concepts, pictures, noises. She questioned it relentlessly about the dark elf walking across the campus, stopping just short of overwhelming the poor creature. It hadn't seen her before. After spending any length of time at the school, you were bound to be at least seen by the mice.<br/><br/>Vidya released the terrified spirit and began to walk towards the odd pair.
