"Ah... that's Free Council speak..." she said, chuckling a bit "Noble, but... well, there are a<em>few</em>issues with that, fundamental to this 'magic' as a whole.  The world you live in now, and the world you used to when you were a sleeper, are vastly different worlds.  Most are not like Yu, they can't fathom or even - for the large part -<em>remember</em>our willworkings, and in fact the more... obvious of magics can backfire as the mere disbelief of Sleepers can demolish our spells and provoke Paradox which can be... quite not pretty at times."<br/><br/>She paused for a moment, glanced back, and had a serious expression.<br/><br/>"If that is the sort of 'help' you intend, then I can have nothing to do with you, as those are the rules of my order, the Adamantine Arrow." she said, starting up walking again "We protect the awakened world, and every other order of the ancient Atlantis, but that said we also defend the Sleepers against supernatural threats.  Vamps, Weres, ghosts, zombies... quite a lot of threats out there that we didn't know before we became what we are, and we use our power to stop it, as well as to protect we mages.  Hell, there are even some Sleepers who seek to hunt us... sometimes they succeed... but the point is our order is more... pragmatic in helping the world, but we are<em>not</em>mercenaries, more like bodyguards and professional soldiers... if you're interested, I will mold you into a defender of the Council, an Adamantine Arrow, and a protector... but it will not be easy, you'll have to obey me to a T no matter what it is I ask of you, but if you do I will teach you, I will help you grow, and I will make you a force to be reckoned with... is that something that appeals to you?"
