### Blue's Book (The Voice of Dragon's Song)

In Chapter 50, Blue finds one edition of the story in a local bookstore. The cover has a beautiful illustration of a dragon on its hind legs in an icy mountain landscape. This drawing continues to the back with smaller, darker lettering. The book has silver lettering, with metallic filigree on the sides.The binding has a dragon on it, made with metallic inks so the outline of the creature's scales shine like in a collector's edition (Chapter 72). The book has a small ribbon bookmark, and is listed as historical fantasy.

### Majik's Academia's Edition

In the library at Majik's Academia is an old, decorative volume, with wide borders and stenciled burnishing along the edges. The leather binding is cracked and dry (Chapter 72).

## Characters

### Veth

Veth is the main character of the story. She is a young woman, who learns magic by dancing with dragons (Chapter 59). She is forced to flee her village because of the Jandi. She is described as "forsaken" by the gods and everyone around her.

### Thistle

Thistle is a male warrior friend of Veth. He is descibed as a large and very physical guy, and he is considered Veth's equal. His tribe and heritage are discussed a little, and he is said to have odd rituals (Chapter 72).

While no editions of the story mention his status as either human or demibeast, certain context clues imply he is a demibeast. For example, the mute fortune teller calls Thistle a beast with the Elemental sign for "d", and people make sure to describe Thistle as "different" from the human characters.

### Mute fortune teller

Later on in the story, Thistle and Veth meet a mute fortune teller. She has milky eyes that can still see. Her fingers are long and bony, knobbed at the joints and with long nails. She has a long metal claw on her index finger, which sends sparks when she scrapes it against stone. She only uses Elemental to communicate.

### Noxia

Noxia is described as insufferable and too smart for their own good (Chapter 72).

### Prang

Prang is an individual known for their casual disregard of the gods and fate (Chapter 72).

## Plot

This story is about the origin of mages, with mages drawing power from other creatures, plants, and/or gems. Dragons may have given humans magic, as they were amused by what they did with it.

The story begins with Veth, a young woman living in a village. The Jandi forces, an "evil" group, moves against her village (Chapter 59). She flees, finding refuge in a dragon's cave. The dragon listens to her stories, and teaches her magic in exchange.

Along the way, Veth meets and befriends many individuals, such as Thistle. At some point, the two go and meet with a mute fortune teller.
