Thread: Things to do...

Lox continued to walk them through the front gates of his gardens, down a winding path around massive trees that didn't belong in this section of the world and yet flourished under his careful hands. When they did make it to a small bridge over the little river flowing it's way around his gardens he stopped for a moment and turned around to face the two of them. Reaching out with his left hand Lox slipped his fingers underneath Lunia's collar once more and brought her forward before turning her around to face Mayu, and murmuring softly over her shoulder Lox smiled in his crooked kind of way as he spoke. Mayu... How do you ever expect to learn how I'm capable of draining and regaining mana so quickly without having feeling the effects for yourself? Your the heir to the LUNAR village. Any mage with half a damn brain would intentionally attack you during the day simply because they'll EXPECT you to be at your weakest. Yes I'm going to drain you during the day, but not without showing you how to do it yourself and even bolster the mana of creatures around you. Lox had pressed his left hand into Lunia's back and the hell hound started shaking, barking, and growling as it fought to stay in control as all the mana he had stolen was forced into her body. Look at this puppy here Mayu, if she didn't already know I could kill her in an instant she would be ravaging, destroying, and killing everything within sight. And the only good way for you to practice draining mana is to have a creature with excessive amounts of it like she does now. It also helps that she's crazed and probably won't be able to stop herself if I do order her to kill you... If any of this is getting through Mayu I'm going to be doing lots of terrible things with the two of you but fear not, you'll both learn or die trying. When I'm done you'll be a great mage and Puppy here will be a fantastic guard doggy for my gardens. When he did take the excess amount of mana away from Lunia, the hell hound seemed to have reached her limit as she collapsed with Lox barely catching her before she flopped onto the ground. You should also get used to this as well Mayu, I will push the two of you beyond your limits often. It would do you a huge amount of good to keep an eye on each other encase I do decide on training you in something that might kill you both. Carrying her over the bridge they approached the tower that had no apparent doors to enter from, but Lox simply walked through the wall and into the first floor that looked like a large study. Here is where you'll be brushing up on your reading considering you didn't even know what a hell hound was. Leading the girl up stairs Lox dropped off the hound at the foot of a huge bed and tossed a blanket over her as he pointed towards another door. There is a bathroom where you can wash up but I only have one guest room, so you and puppy will be sharing one for the time being. And no I'm not having a miniaturized hell hound running a mock through my gardens fresh out of the pit and untrained! Leading the girl up one more flight of stairs he showed her the kitchen and where she could find fresh food whenever she wanted it but at that he stood at the stairs leading to the top floor and faced her one last time. My room is on the top floor Mayu, and your not allowed in there for the time being... but maybe when I think it's time I'll teach you how to make your own magical artifacts. If you leave your cloths in the trunk beside your bed then they will be freshly cleaned tomorrow morning for your use, but I'll have to figure out if the puppy is going to need cloths or better off running in fur only. Rest for now little mage, tomorrow will be long and trying but you'll live... hopefully. Keep trying though, your father would be proud knowing you survived tutelage under me.
