Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Damn, my time is officially limited. If I suddenly disappear, it's because my mother has unleashed her wrath.))

Lia's eyes widened when the creature formed, widened more when it came towards her, and her shoulders relaxed a bit when Alec pulled the creature back.

"Because magic twists to suit the person it inhabits, Professor, in my opinion. No white magic user ever tried to make horrible creaures because it wouldn't cross their minds to do so. The same goes for black magic users and healing. It's simply not in their nature to perform a good, decent, selfless act, and so nothing in their...magical repitouires would let them do so. You were angry, therefore your magic fed off that anger and allowed you produce such a beast. But the line is drawn there because you, a white magic user, would pull such a creature back before it could cause harm, whereas a dark magic user would've thrived on the violence. Is that not where we get the distinction, professor?" She asked, remembering the sentiments she'd been taught at her mother's knee.

"Then obviously, the things dark magic users desire is only violence and monstrosities, seeing as that's the only thing history has them ever producing." Lia insisted, miffed that someone would dare disagree with her.

Lin had thought she was onto something. While she had been in the library, one of the students that had been in one of Dymetri's classes had come in with some friends and was talking about how that specific class was canceled that night. He was disappointed because he had been looking forward to learning about how to revive creatures with certain herbs. Dymetri was supposed to teach that tonight.

How had she been lucky enough that Dymetri was going to teach that tonight and that the student had said enough for Lin to know where to look to find out more information about that subject?!

And how unlucky did she have to be to discover that none of what she found would bring Dymetri back? She kept coming back to the same roadblock. Since Dymetri was partly made up of dark magic, it had to be dark magic that brought him back. Lin would NOT use dark magic to bring Dymetri back. Not only did she despite dark magic and it also made her sick, but that first day she and Dymetri had really talked, he told her how he had been horrifically turned to a dark vampire creature against his will. He had been doing something he thought was good and right by taking in that little girl he thought needed help. He had then been backstabbed by that very girl turning him into a vampire. It didn't take a genius to see that if he had had the choice, Dymetri would not have been turned.

So Lin would not do the same thing to Dymetri. She would not force him into another body that was filled with dark magic. It would be utter torture for him. No, she would not do that. She would find a better way to bring him back.

Lin's eyes were starting to blur, though. She had even yawned a few moments ago. She couldn't remember the last time she had yawned. She looked up at a clock on the wall in the library and saw that she was missing Professor Leaton's class right now. She didn't care. She knew that she would miss classes until she found a solution to bringing Dymetri back. But what she didn't like was that she was getting tired, and especially at such an early time of day.

But then she remembered that her pendant of spring water was broken. She didn't have spring water with her right now. That's what had led to all of this mess. So she would be weak until she got more. It would just get worse each day, but she knew that she could get more later.

Lin sighed and stood up to get some more books and put back some of the ones she had used already and knew she didn't need anymore.

"That," Ialo said cheerily, "And you know a LOT about her. About her midnight trips, her second and third job, her connections to certain demonfolk. I'm right, aren't I?" He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms, a tiny arrogant grin on his face despite the exhaustion apparent.

"And if I do? What's it to you? It's not like any of ya cared what the hell kind of crap she got herself into in the demon world when she was alive. What's it matter now that she's kicked the bucket?" He demanded, pleased he remembered some of the slang from his 'So You're Going to The Top World' Phrase Book he'd gotten in Hell. It usually served well for demons posing as humans to try and lure souls to the 'dark side'.

"Guilt," the Headmaster said honestly. "In my case, I've got a score to keep, and Danni is a point I'm not going to let go to the other side. That, and she's my responsibility under Danish law. Inconvenient things can happen to me. So are you going to tell me or what?"

((And, I'm out for the night. Laters!))

As she left, Athena gave Alec a brief, slightly bitter smile. It was bitter in that his words no longer could help Danni, and she herself had to think on what he'd said. She didn't quite understand how people could use any magic they wanted to; she had tried before, to use light magic, but it hadn't worked for her. She'd tried dark magic, and it also was in vain. Generic magic was fine, and alchemy--well, she stopped herself, alchemy isn't technically magic. By all technicalities, it is a science.

But she still wasn't sure what he meant. From her independent research, she had found that all magics were made of different types of energy--generic, general magic was a blend of all magic, accessible thusly by anyone. But if you were of a certain wavelength or whatever it was that defined whether your body held light or dark or demonic magic, then you could use only that denomination, not the others (the exception being general magic, as was said before). Had she learned wrong? Or had she simply misunderstood what Alec had been trying to say?

Lia's perfectly waxed brows rose up in shock when Alec told her to remain after class. "So I'm to be singled out, is it, because I've an opinion that doesn't jibe with your convoluted theory?" She demanded, narrowing her icy blue eyes.
