Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Indeed. in time, you will be your own best, and do this house much honor. I must admit you surprise me. I hadn't expected a student like you that could grasp and understand the lessons of what needs to be. perhaps your loss of sight is less a burden and more a blessing to your studies then you might think."

before getting herself up and brushing off her robes some.

"But back to essence emeralds. there's also another thing you need to be aware of, and you touched on it before. making them out of animals works...but they will not work for restoring to life people. they simply do not have enough energy. and you cannot use several at one time. the exceptions to this rule, however, are dangerous. and there are only two. a Wyvern, and a Wurm. both these beasts are related to the dragon, which is why they can be utilized in this manner....but both of them are very, very dangerous creatures. to weaken one enough to force it's agreement to sacrifice is a task that many try, but a bare handful even get near the goal, and fewer survive and succeed in the attempt."

giving a slight grin.

"which is why, if someone tries to claim they have one, feel free to deal with them as a liar and a thief...unless you can see or feel the powerful aura that would mark a necromancer that strong. then you should be most respectful."


Malik nodded lightly.

"Particularly the weapon design we are going to try with. you sister has show in the past a great aptitude for judging speed and length in sound. we're going to try and teach her a form of chain fighting Broog knows about. I'm hoping that the chain links will create enough sound that she can judge how to use them properly with a little training."

smirking some.

"and when was the last time you tried to get her to do something she refused to under any circumstances. getting her to wear gloves without her mother here is going to be like trying to get her to go wade into the lake."

"with any luck their almost finished with what they are doing so she'll be dropping my any time to ease over the glove thing. and yes, in a manner of speaking."

giving a small grin to his oldest.

"She'll fight tooth and nail to keep gloves off her. and I mean that literally. she's claw, bite, zap, kick..alot more then making noise. and then you have to use a crowbar to try and pry her fists open."

A glance at his wife, and noting irritation.

"Things are going fine. your daughter has inherited your ability to know just what questions to ask to dig in for information with. Other then that, things have been uneventful here. How did things go with you?"

"Anything even remotely good in the conversation or is that old dragon still being a thickscaled lizard?"

and a glance at their daughter.

"and we'll need to see broog here once this is over. got to get her some gloves and see if broog is finished with his weapon design."

"Actually, it was entirely broog's idea on a fighting method that might work. mostly it the glove thing that we need your expertise for because I don't carry crowbars on my to pry little fingers open with."

leaning over and giving a kiss to his wife, and glancing at their daughter and her teacher who was clearing giving him the 'are we doing formal lessons now or...?' kind of look, to which he waved her off.


she gave a nod and patted the girl on the head.

"Now go back to your father...we'll have more time later and you'll have plenty of time to think in your room sessions, I assure you."

"Only when it is fault. and yes, unfortunately there are just some jobs us men can't do."

giving a slight grin to his wife and a glance at their daughter.

"In time, you will be indeed."

"Oh I'm sure the yelling will be coming soon enough."

But a slight grin and motioning for her to go on ahead of him, on the way to Broog, who was working in his smithy taking to Tremor in a coarse, and gutteral tongue and getting responses as they both were working between forges and jewelry stations for whatever they were working on.
