"Well."
Mattias stood up and shuddered, then felt the healing from the Cleric wash over him, rejuvenating him, or perhaps his perception of time was lagging and he'd been healed a bit ago and only now felt it.
He prodded the corpse of a wolf nearby, slashed to bits by Illario's long claws, then

He trailed off. It wasn't necromancy, he wasn't raising a [body], he was raising her [from the dead] and he would do anything it took in order to make that happen again.
His fists closed with resolve, and he sat upright. "She deserves the chance to come

"Oh," he cleared his throat, "I thank you for your offer, but I already have the ritual in mind. I merely need three other mages of sufficient experience to help me cast it, as well as a few materials that I can use to supplement the ritual itself. Then, I can bring her back. With her risen, she

"A theory far beyond my knowledge. The instantaneous translocation through space and time based on the existence and utilization of dark matter."
That was the name of his thesis and his professor had laughed at him. Now, with Colette dead, he felt like he could strangle his professor for making

Saved from the jaws of a wolf about to rip his throat out in the nick of time, Mattias exhaled in relief and bit back a sob from the pain he was in. He shuddered, then raised his staff and cast another spell, sending the wolf skyward to crash into the branch of a neighboring tree, where it yelped

"Colette was the first person to tell me that she believed in me, and I believed her. She deserved to live her life to the fullest. She deserved to see so many more discoveries."
His fists clenched on the ground.

"She- I, I had a theory. A spellblending theory. I wanted to test it. She told me she'd ward me in case it went awry.
It did. But not on me. When the wreckage cleared, I found her lifeless body on the floor of the academy study room."

He whispered the last word, seeing her so clearly in his eyes.

He was quiet for a moment while he considered how to tell her—and how much to tell her.
"No, she was at the academy that I studied at. An Elf. She always had a braid. I teased her that it was too short. She was studying to be a mage, ah, working under the theory that illusion magic could be

He heard the name whispered, then his jaw shut with an audible click.

to me because they have some problem with me, or my attire, my speech, my theories on spellblending... I am sorry that I snapped at you. You have a snappy personality. But just because you can dish it out doesn't mean you should take it all the time."

"No, I know you can handle yourself. It isn't me doubting you. I suppose I'm saying that, should you need to rest, there are others to take up the slack."
He thought about her question, barely seeing the night out beyond them.

He tried OH so valiantly not to look extremely pleased while he got up and brushed off his robes, then walked to the bottom of her cape, carefully sat down, then laid down beside her.

The sacred ring of Eyus has portals at precise spots along the ring. Each one is about 300 miles apart. The portals facing toward the inner ring teleport you to other parts of the ring.
