"It was not simply plants, they were the only things I could recreate without notice. It is not a spell .. it is more like a request." she said softly. Thinking back, there was more, but she did not want to go through it. Inhaling deeply, she looked to him with a calm expression. "Visions .. some have come to pass, others .. have not .. yet." she said softly. Again she leaned her head on her knees.

"You sound like an elf then." Vice replied half-heartedly. It was a pitty, he always had wanted to find another third race. "And for the record, a spell is just a request for something to happen. Now, if you had requested for a a contained fire and you sucked the life out of everything, then that would be interesting." By now he was sitting on the ground fully, looking up to the sky. "Perhaps your a halfling, or a magik contained creature. Does it really matter what you are though?"

"It is not the same. The request .. if one knows how to stop others from taking too much, they can slow, stop or deny the request. With a spell, it is something that will happen. The request has sound, a spell is silent. It is like the difference between riding a horse or using one of those .. motor vehicles." she said softly, hugging her knees. "I want to know. It matters to me. It is the one thing I care about that others do not." she said, her voice growing more and more soft as she went on, her final words hardly above a whisper.

"You were obviously taught differently than I." Vice said, looking up to the sky. He had always had a passion for the night, especially when it was cold out. The crispness of the air made it feel so nice out. "In my knowledge of spells, you request to use something that has been laid before you. For example; if you use a summoning spell to bring a creature to you, then the creature will come. However, if it does not want to come it will not. If you use a spell to summon a flame, but get nothing more than a spark, then the rquest has been denied." He closed his eyes, his fingers tapping the ground gently. "What will you gain from knowing what you are?"

"Peace of mind for me. And perhaps answers to who my parents are." she said softly. It was interesting how different his experience with magic was for her. There was nothing to gain for anyone except for her, the one thing she wanted just for herself. "Why .. is it so unimportant to others where they come from?"

"Because, once you find out, you'll find that it never really made much of a difference." Vice said with a sigh. With a snap of his fingers his cigarette was re-lit and he was placing it in his mouth once again. "Knowing what you are doesn't change who you are now. if your elf, if your human... your still Ziven. The only thing you'll really get from finding out is the knowledge of your past, and sometimes people wish they never found out." After he spoke he took a long drag from the clover-smelling cigarette. He held it in for a moment, then blew out with a happy sigh.

With a sigh, she buried her face in her hands. There was nothing more that she wanted to know over all than that. With other things in her life, when she felt curious, after finding the answer, she was satisfied .. how would this be so different. "For what purpose are we speaking?"

"I was trying to figure out why Reevis is so... interested in you. People have never been anything but a bother for him, but I have seen into his mind and he actually cares for you. I wanted to know what he saw." Standing up, Vice patted the dust and dirt off his pants. "I'll take that question as a polite way to say 'Get the ******** away from me.'" He laughed slightly and whistled. In almost an instant the boy dropped down from the tree. His blindfold was off and he looked at the two curiously with golden eyes. "Zero, go find yourself. I need Reevis for an experiment." Slowly Vice began to walk away from Ziven; the boy simply disappeared.

"I asked because I wanted to understand what your purpose for asking was. Given your reaction and dismissal .. I see that you truly were here for your own purpose, not Reeve and certainly not for me. Good to know .. and I hope this helped." she said, her voice sounding unusually hollow. When he spoke again, she looked to him with alarm and stood sharply. "Please wait .. what have you planned for Reeve?" she asked, taking a few steps toward him.

Vice laughed as he continued to walk. "Trust me girl, this conversation was in your best interest. You got to know things about Reevis, I got to know things about you. And because I like you, I've decided not to wipe out all of Reevis' memories of you." He shook his head slightly, not planning on stopping for her at all. "My plan's for Reevis? I have many. You need to be more specific."

"I do not see how .." she began,but she abandoned that question, pressing on for the answer she was asking. "Just now, you said you wanted Reeve for an experiment .. what experiment?" she asked, looking to him with question still.

"Oh." Vice said simply. "I plan to see why his mind has sharpened, and who he plans to kill. When I placed his soul back within his body he... took something from me. While it is the only reason I exist here right now, I do not like the fact that he has something and I don't know what it is." He grumbled something in the language that Reeve spoke often. "He was a threat enough, but now he might be tetering on insanity... it does not go with the rest of my plans, so it must be fixed." And with that Vice sank into the earth... She would probably see him again.

On the verge of tears again, she too disappeared when he left.

Leaving the bar, Ziven wandered outside. She looked around, searching for someone, something that would lead her to that someone, but did not expect to find anything. Moving swiftly and silently, she wandered toward the moon, as it was the only thing she could think of to latch on for a direction to travel toward.

High up in a tree, sometime down the road, sat Reeve. There was a soft melody playing from his flute as he sat there with his eyes closed. Although the song was beautiful, he was playing it mainly so that others would not be able to sense that he was there.
