>>5791812You are now temporarily Craig Snorlison, neph- err, cousin of Rosa. Today has been a great day so far! Rosa bought you a book (she said she'd haggled hard for it), and you can't wait to read it! Two of your spirits, Magos and Scholar, express interest on your newly acquired tome.
Magos noted that the grimoire seem to teach Esoteric magic - you don't know what it means, but it's okay! Magos kind of explained that Esoteric magic is hard to learn, but quite powerful.
Scholar, on the other hand, seems curious about the contents - it seems like the book contains a story, which is sprinkled with ciphers and secret messages - which Scholar guessed is how the Esoteric magic would be learned from.
You were broken from your reverie by Rosa yelling at you.
"Craig, c'mon! What are you spacing out for? Do you want to sit on my lap?"
You blush at Rosa's teasings. True, you used to like sitting on her lap - but you were but a mere baby then.
"Er, coming!"
You board the speedy-looking autowagon as both Rosa and Ling, the chartered driver, look fondly towards you.
"Alright, all aboard! Thank you for choosing the Ling Express. We'll be skirting the eastern rim of the Wastes, maybe stopping at Kyo-Edo and/or Crypt to refuel, before arriving at our destination, Pinewatch. I hope you will enjoy the ride!" You wonder how she can breeze through that little speech with a smoking-pipe on her lips.
In any case, you are now back as Rosa Montagni. North, eh? You gotta remember the major dangers of the North, before those dangers find you.
