Jaux woke up to find herself right outside the room with Theema's
artifacts. Her back was propped up against the cold gray stone of the
hallway. She might have believed she dreamt the whole interaction with
the goddess, if her skin didn't feel so tender where the tendrils had
carved in. She wasn't sure how much time had passed, but the hallway was
still empty and it looked like no one had found her yet. Strangely
enough, when she inspected her arms for the marks Theema left, she only
saw her usual smooth skin.
What exactly was that goddess trying to do?
The tattoos that were carved into her were not visible, at least under
her normal vision. When Jaux activated her magic reading sight, she was
able to see the thin lines of purple light that ran up her entire body.
The symbols were harder to see through her clothes, but she could still
roughly make them out under the robe and nightie. The structure of all
the patterns and runes vaguely reminded her of Frey's ancient tile, so
she believed that some magic spells might have been carved into her body.
She couldn't gaze into her own face, but she knew that the tattoos
extended there as well. There was a lingering numbness on her whole body
that resembled the feeling of having just fallen into a thorny bush.
Jaux's left arm had had the most unique tattoos out of the rest of her
body. It had smooth and curving lines that swirled all over the place
like twisting grapevines. A line of four eye-sized circles also ran up
her left arm. One of the bubbles was drawn on the back of her hand, and
the other three went up her forearm. There were no runes drawn on this
arm, and all the twisting line patterns converged at the tips of her
fingers.
"Another approaches. You should move if you still don't intent to be
discovered here," Theema's voice said in Jaux's mind.
The voice of the goddess had startled Jaux, almost causing her to scream
out in surprise. Theema's message wasn't wrong, there was indeed a person
who was slowly approaching. Jaux made sure to move swiftly and silently
away from the mass of incoming magic.
When she found herself back in the central hall, Jaux spoke out to the
goddess. "You're watching me?"
"Yes, it is a part of our contract's new magics. I can see through your
eyes, listen with your ears, and speak to your mind. However, I can only
do so when you're using my gift of the Winter Sight. I am not one to
intrude on privacy."
Well, at least Theema could be considerate, not including the involuntary
transformation and magic tattoos.
"What exactly is this contract supposed to do?" Jaux asked as she made
her way back to her room.
"It does many little things, and they all add up," replied the goddess.
"In essence, I have given you an ability similar to my own left arm. You
may consume the energy of up to four spirits. You just need to defeat
them or their vessel first, and then plunge your arm into their bodies."
"Uh... I don't think I can do any of that."
"You must, child," Theema demanded. "As payment for my power, there are
two specific targets that you must steal energy from. The first will be
the current High Priest of the Bright Noon, while the second must be a
ghost from the Realm of Broken Space.
"Hey! I never even asked for your power, you did that on your own. Plus,
I'm still new to magic! I'm pretty sure I would get my butt kicked by
either of those things," Whined Jaux.
While Jaux talked to the goddess, an early bird student pasted her on the
stairs. The student watched her in confusion as they walked by each
other. To everyone else, Jaux appeared to be speaking to herself.
"I don't mind waiting a while for my payment, I've done nothing but wait
for all of my existence. You will have one cycle around your sun,
starting now, to obtain one of the two required spirit energies,"
Mandated Theema.
"One year? I guess I can... try?" said Jaux.
After that, the voice of the goddess grew silent. The sound of distant
footsteps now echoed through Jaux's mind, most of them being her own. The
Lyceum was still sleeping, only very few contributed to the fight against
the silence.
Jaux decided it was okay for her to shift her sight back, so she did.
Then she made her way back to her dorm room. The day still appeared to be
young, her interaction with Theema hadn't taken long enough for anyone to
even leave their rooms yet.
=+=+=
"Where were you, Suhara?!" Frey yelled out as soon as Jaux entered the
room.
"I told you she was fine," grumbled Tricks, "should have just let us
sleep."
"Well, as long as she's okay," yawned Desyi, "you should calm down a bit
Frey."
"I was, uh, down in the library," Jaux decided to say. "I wanted to know
more about priests and stuff so I did some morning reading."
"Ah, that's... please let one of us know if you plan on wandering outside
next time, okay?" Frey insisted.
"Okay," Jaux replied with a little smile.
Frey went up and squeezed Jaux with a little hug, happy that her novi was
fine. "What did you end up learning at the library?"
"Uh... something about priests of Bright Noon and somewhere called Broken
Space," answered Jaux.
"Wow, sounds cool," said Frey, "never heard about a place called Broken
Space."
Then Frey gave Jaux a little kiss on the forehead, before letting go and
heading into the bathroom. The little sign of affection was new to Jaux,
who wasn't sure if it was a thing that girls did or something else.
=+=+=
Jaux switched out to a lighter set of peach colored robes, now that she
no longer needed to sneak around the Lyceum. Today was another school
day, which meant two new classes for her. She would also get to brag to
Sellwall about being able to cast every spell he gave her.
The first class was about arithmetical magic, which Jaux was soon sure
she would never bother to use. Math wasn't exactly what one would expect
to learn in a magic school, after all. She really didn't want to go
around learning about time delays or containment designs. The old woman
who taught the class had guaranteed that arithmetical magic would be
extremely important in the future, but Jaux just couldn't convince
herself to believe the claim.
Jaux spent the majority of her first class rubbing her arms and thinking
about Theema. The lecture had been reduced to just a dull and senseless
buzz in her ears. Her skin still had no marks, and what was left of the
slight sting over her body slowly faded. Soon, she would not even know
the tattoos existed until she looked upon herself with her Winter Sight.
The second class was alchemy, which managed to create much more interest
for Jaux. The lesson was also the first time Jaux ever set foot in an
apothecary. She never really thought of potions as very interesting magic
before, since many well known medicines included potions. However, ever
since Jaux learned about Norman, and how he was an ace class student who
used potions, she'd become curious about what potions could really do.
Each student had an assignment of a potion they were supposed to create.
The smelly and stuffy room was filled with the sounds of flipping pages,
pouring liquids, and the sharp thumps of tools against a stone cutting
board. Since Jaux was new, her very first assignment was to study the
introduction of her new textbook:
Potions are mixtures of ingredients, primarily organic elements. The
three types of potion elements are active, passive, and substance. Active
ingredients are harvested from creatures, while passive ingredients are
plants. Substance elements are inorganic components included in potions.
Many creatures are born with abilities that are tied to natural magic
manipulation. Active ingredients are parts of a creature directly related
to their abilities.
All plants are able to channel magic through their bodies. However, even
though they have the ability, plants don't have a consciousness to cast
spells with. Certain types of vegetation, which are categorized as mystic
flora, have an innate set of spells that are naturally cast, such as
healing trees or sunspot shrubs. To make use of the magical potential of
plants that are not mystic flora, the plants usually must be applied in
alchemy as passive ingredients.
Substance ingredients hold together active and passive agreements in a
potion. Water is one of the most commonly used substance elements.
Alchemy singles out the desired effect of its ingredients. When another
living being consumes a potion, they place the potential system of
alchemy magic into their bodies. When the magic that naturally channels
through the living being's body passes through the new system of
ingredients, the effects of the potion will activate as it was designed.
Potions last until they are purged or destroyed by a consumer's body.
Different ingredients last different amounts of time. Due to this,
potions often have a side effect or drawback after the desired effect
runs out. More complicated potions have more ingredients, so advanced
potions often have more unintended effects.
Alchemy is an academic and artistic pursuit to produce the most powerful
abilities, while minimizing unintended effects.
When Jaux finished her reading, the teacher instructed her in how to
create a basic potion that would relieve thirst. Jaux didn't see the
point of this, since the potion was primary water, but apparently
drinking the potion was supposed to cure more thirst than just drinking
the water by itself.
By the end of alchemy class, Jaux had no idea if she actually made any
progress... for obvious reasons.
=+=+=
The specialty class was the same as always. The lesson felt much like a
friendly club of bored equals. Sellwall didn't have any new spells for
Frey, which didn't seem to surprise Frey at all. Gifts like the ancient
tile seemed to not be a common occurrence.
Sellwall was delighted when he heard about Jaux's success with curses.
"Fantastic! Simply wonderful! You have quite an affinity for your
specialty then, yes indeed! Oh, Frey was quite right to claim you my
dear, I can clearly see future archmages of the power genre sitting right
before me!"
"Now Sellwall, please don't ruin Suhara by inflating her ego," Frey
complained. "I think you should teach her some more advanced curses
before you throw out all your praise."
Meanwhile, Jaux blushed from all the embarrassment, and resorted to
withdrawing her head into her robes. Her classmates, Frey especially,
thought it was beyond cute.
"Yes, of course," Sellwall agreed with Frey, placing a much larger black
spellbook in front of Jaux.
"This is the standard book of curses," the zealous teacher explained, "it
contains nearly every well known form of curse magic. Suhara, my dear, I
want you to learn as many spells as you can from this book. If you can
learn, let's say... fifteen standard spells, five advanced spells, and
one master class spell... then I will start retrieving uncommon or
forbidden curse spells like I do for Frey's blessings."
Jaux's face split into a huge gaping smile at Sellwall's proposition. She
hastily grabbed the book and hugged it to her body, her eyes glimmering
with childlike glee. "Oh, I will, I definitely will!"
=+=+=
Frey took Jaux to the first floor market for a bit more shopping before
they returned to their room. A couple new scarves, hats, cloaks, gloves,
and shoes were now stuffed into the boxes and bags they carried. Frey
actually had to suspend a number of packages into the air since neither
of them could hold so much stuff.
Everything was paid for by Frey, who Jaux now knew for sure to be
absolutely rich. Apparently Frey must have been a part of a very
successful caravan.
Then they were both surprised on their way to Jaux's wardrobe cabinet.
Lying in the center of Jaux's bed was a magical staff. A very familiar
staff.
A staff made with pitch black stone.
