Chapter 41

==Summery==
Astrid messes up the food because she was too busy watching Marcus and Lillian have sex, to watch the stove. Marcus pretends the food was delicious, while Lillian remarks that its overcooked, and teases her by asking if she was distracted by something. Lillian grows a wild vegetable garden with her druid magic. Astrid is initially uncomfortable when Astrid uses water Elemental Magic to plow the ground, but Marcus steps in to massage her shoulder, while asking if magic that can be used for farming is really such a bad thing. Lillian's power and utility increased, as she was now able to quickly summon half a dozen water plows simultaneously with greet speed, but her control was still lacking, the blades were unstable, changing shape and leaving crooked lines in the earth they cut. Marcus decided to devise some exercises to help her improve her control.
Astrid remarks that she has never seen elemental magic used for anything other than killing, and Marcus replies, that while using it for killing is common, that it wasn't the magic's fault. She remarks that that doesn't mean it isn't cursed, and he agrees, but says they have to work with what they have. Instead of trying to force her to change her belief, he is just trying to lower her hostility. Astrid relaxes after Lillian plants the seeds and switches to Druid magic to help them grow. Her druid magic gave a comforting sensation, making Marcus realize Astrid had a point, even if elemental magic itself wasnt cursed, the way Romans used it to destroy the heritage of others was. During their conversation, Astrid let it slip that as a Priestess, she has received essence from the Tree of Life.
