Ciandra sat across from him, still stunned by his sudden appearance. She studied his features with amazed eyes and felt like a giddy young girl watching her grandfather mix his wondrous concoctions. The old man flipped through the assembled tomes quickly, imperceptibly reading and drinking the knowledge that the Arcanum had collected. She waited in silence until he looked at her and offered a gentle smile.

"Incredible work you have been doing. Incredible." He closed one tome and brushed the cover gently with his hand. "But there are some key points that you have missed. I'd have expected nothing more, you are still learning the foundation of the magic here." He stood without effort and snatched the book from the table and placed it upon the shelf against the wall. He turned to the alchemist. "If you'd like my help that is. . ."

Let us move into discussion of what I can do to help you."

<br><br>
Asheron furrowed his brow and pulled a hand through his beard. "I have. . . had obligations that I needed to attend to, dear child. Those obligations have since been eclipsed by something that menaces us all." Asheron sighed. "Now, on to what I shall do. An emissary will be sent. . ."
