Cayn was picking up another piece of chicken, his claws making quick work of the meat and popping the choice pieces into his mouth.  "However," he would say.  "You must be careful.  You're learning things that no one who's been mortal has learned in some time.  Well, who's learned without making some serious sacrifices.  Most magic that humans learn nowadays are granted by dark creatures such as Xyveris.  A sacrifice is required, and a bond is formed.  There are darker things out there than the Night Parade."<br/><br/>A drink was taken as he let the remnants of the chicken fall from his hands on to the serving tray.  "You'll have to determine what you wish to do after your required time is up here as well," Cayn said.  "You could stay, of course.  But there's your brother to consider.  And while the kobolds may enjoy his time, I think many here would want to hurt him.  Wolfe, most likely, preeminent among them."
