>>530535Flying on Sephar is rejuvenating. It might be the blood connection with my bonded familiar, but I've come to sense the magic in the air, like she spoke of. The winds really are filled with arcane energy, it's flowing and pulsating, and I feel rested and healed.
I've decided to leave the royal fortune behind. If I need more, I can travel back to the castle. But what would I use money for, anyway? For now, I'll just keep my pouch, with the same 100 gold I started my journey with. The kingdom can go to someone else for all I care. All I want to do is to travel the world and learn magic...
>>530777A wave of residual magic from north pulls me away from my daydreaming.
"Whooa, Sephar, what was that?"
"Someone opened a powerful tome of magic. It seems to have come from where we're going, the Castle of Icedorf. Do you know it?"
"Uhm well, I've heard about him, yeah. Super powerful ice mage man. He knew my old master. Wait, didn't Icedorf disappear a while back? Is he back in his castle?"
"No, my liege. Seems like someone else have taken residence in the castle recently."
"Hm, interesting. Let's fly down and say hello."
