What Lies in the Heart. Mikayla/The Dragon
开云体育?- Mikayla - Mikayla sighed and began to pace again. "That is what I mean, Angus. Do you have any idea how much tremendous pressure that is to put upon me? Me. Someone who has never done magic before ever in my life and now I am suddenly not only master it, but master it enough to be the savior to your master needs to save both you and he." She turned then, covering her face. "it just feels too much," She whispered. "But I am supposed to trust the master. I do not even know the master. All I know is that when I am with him he soothes and calms me. And I do not know why. And now that he is not here my mind and world is in turmoil." She started pacing again. "What if I do something wrong? What if I mess up like before? What if I hurt him again? It is just too much," she said turning from him so that he did not see the tears that formed in her eyes.?A shuttered sigh left her then and she put her hands together clasped under her chin.? With her back to him, she took a deep breath, wipe the tear from her eyes,?before turning back to him. Moving she came to stand before the book. Nodding Mikayla squared her shoulders and opened it to the first page.? (Angus, The Dragon) "The Master soothes and calms you?" Angus said, sounding surprised.? "That's the first time I've ever heard someone say that.? Well, not the first," he amended. "But certainly the first in a very, very long time." "Please do not distress yourself unnecessarily, mistress," the servant went on.? "The Master does not expect miracles.? Well, he does admittedly _hope_ for them.? But he does not expect them.? And I'm certain he does not expect you to master trans-species bodily transformation spells on your first outing."? He winced slightly.? "What happened before was simply an unfortunate accident.? The book happened to be opened to the wrong page." "Perhaps if you start with something simple," Angus suggested.? "Like, say, lighting a candle.? Or turning water into wine.? Or perhaps reading magic?"? He nodded to himself at the thought.? "That might make things a lot easier for you, if you knew what the spell was for before trying to read it." Tag - Mikayla |

"That might make things a lot easier for you, if you knew what the spell was for before trying to read it." ?-Mikayla “Aye... he does. I understand his gruffness.” She said absentmindedly as she read over one of the pages in the tomb. “He wand me to be able to conjure tea. I didn’t even think he drank tea.” She said reading.? And it was almost as if the minute she began to read, she was drawn in. The world of magic inside the book calling to her. Leading her towards something bigger than herself...and so she followed it. Unsure what she would find. |

"But it's frustrating for him now. The cups are far too small and delicate, and cannot hold more than what amounts to a single sip in his current size. And he finds drinking from a bowl undignified. Still..." he mused "... it is a fairly simple spell. It might be a good one to start with." The seemed to shimmer a bit as Mikayla read, the words shifting about on the page, forming symbols that suddenly began to make sense to the young woman. Words formed on her lips and tongue, causing them to tingle as she spoke them.? A feeling of power came over her, flowing from the symbols on the page into her fingers as she moved them from line to line. And the words she spoke into the air took on color and substance, swirling in an incandescent cloud that she found she could manipulate and cause to move in whatever direction she cast her gaze. "Excellent, mistress," Angus said, unable to mask his excitement.? "Now, try to make your conjuration take form. Just focus on what you want it to be.? If the spell is properly bound to your will, it will respond.? Something simple would be best." ? Back in his chamber, the Dragon remained asleep, but even in his slumber he could feel the working of magic emanating from the other part of the keep.? It was familiar, and yet different somehow. The working of something he himself had done but by someone whose technique was new to him.? "Yes," he murmured, a wisp of smoke trailing from his nostrils. "Let the work guide you..."

However, she did feel the words of praise...encouragement moving through her spirit pushing her forward.? She saw vivid color and felt keenly everything she was doing. She had one task. She had no intention of stopping until that task was completely. In fact, Mikayla was so focus on her task, she stood at the books for hours. Ignoring natural bodily necessities such as food or sleep and everything else.? She didn’t know if Angus had stayed the whole time or if her had come and gone. She has no concept of seconds...minutes or hours...only the work... Several hours laters. She stopped. Drained...looking up from the book she looked at the table and frowned. No tea cup. Nothing. Feeling dejected, Mikayla felt extremely tired. Moving to the tiny cot within the room, Mikayla has just enough energy to strip off her dress to her chemist before exhaustion took her under.? Mikayla had no idea that down within the kitchen, appearing on the table was a mug, and fork/spoon combination large enough for The Dragon to take tea and eat in the civilized manner she saw that he wanted to. |

(Angus, The Dragon) "Mistress Mikayla?" Angus said softly, wanting to wake her but not startle her.? When her eyes flickered open, the man bowed then set the tray he was carrying on the nearby table.? "I didn't want to wake you, but I thought you might be getting hungry about now.? It's mid-morning." He smiled as he began uncovering some dishes on the tray, letting the aroma of freshly cooked eggs, sausage and toast fill the air. "You apparently had quite an exhausting day," he went on, opening small jars of honey and jam and setting them to the side.? "Which you may be surprised to learn was the day before yesterday.? You were quite dead to the world all day yesterday.? The Master said to let you rest, however, and not to wake you.? But seeing as how it's a new day already, I thought I would take a chance and see if you were recovered. And, as I said, to see if you were hungry." When all was ready, Angus bowed again and retreated to the door respectfully.? His manner had always been deferential, but today it seemed particularly so.? "If you are feeling up to it," he said, pausing in the doorway, "the Master would very much like to have you join him for tea this afternoon.? I believe he wishes to... to discuss your rather remarkable progress."? The man looked like he wanted to say more but his tongue was held by discretion. "If you need anything, just call out and I will come."? With that, he bowed a final time and withdrew from the room, closing the door behind him. ? Tag - Mikayla |

Taking her longer to rise from her slumber than normal, She blinked and stretched. She still felt exhausted but not as tired as she did the day before. ?Sitting up, she blinked a few more times, her eyes firmly on Angus’s mouth. Still so tired, it took quite a bit her to comprehend what he was saying. ?She caught bits and pieces...but rather than ask him to repeat himself she simply nodded and said “Thank you Angus.” After he left,?Mikayla fell back to the bed. She sighed. She did catch the master was awake. He would be disappointed no doubt at the fact that yesterday was a disaster...not not yesterday...the day before yesterday. Not only had she failed, she slept for a full day. She wanted to bury her head back under the covers.?Instead she sat up and rose. Moving to the pedestal the book had been. It was gone.? Again she sighed. She supposed he found her failure meant that she didn’t deserve the book. That made sense. Moving back to her bed, Mikayla suddenly wasn’t very hungry any more.?Laying down, she nodded off again. Retreating into sleep to escape her own disappointment. A few hours later, she awoke. She stretched and washed. Of course Angus had come to retrieve the tray. She dressed in a deep blue dress Puffy capped sleeved dress which gathered underneath her bust and blue matching slippers. Slowly she walked to the doors of the great hall. Taking a deep breathe, preparing for the dressing down she knew he would give, ?she came inside.? “Good Afternoon, my lord. Angus said you wished me to...join...you for...tea.” She said her words halting as she saw the items before him. A extra large tea cup and spoon. |

"Thank you for joining me."? He gestured to a nearby chair, elaborately carved and upholstered with fine needle work.? As if at a signal, Angus came in with a tray, carrying a human-sized tea set. Taking a place next to the chair, he waited for Mikayla to sit so that he could serve her. "I apologize for the mismatch in our respective services," The Dragon said, taking up the enormous cup before him along with the matching spoon. Judging by the sounds being made when he began stirring it, the tea in the cup amounted to gallons.? "But we did not have time in which to make a matching set.? Particularly considering how elaborate and artful these new ones are." He nodded his great head to indicate the cup and spoon in his talons, both of which he was holding comfortably and both of which were adorned with intricate colorful designs.? "Ones _you_ created," he added, eying her meaningfully as he took a sip. "I must also apologize for having the book removed."

"Given how your initial efforts left you so exhausted, I was concerned about what might happen if you were to attempt another spell too soon.? I will have Angus bring it back to you as soon as we are done." "_Are_ you feeling better, mistress?" The Dragon asked, actually sounding solicitous instead of demanding.?

Was he telling her...”I made those?” She said looking to the tea cup. Surprise awe and confusion filled her tone. “I made those?” She repeated as she stared at the tea cup. Was he being honest? Of course he was being honest he wouldn’t have said it if he wasn’t.? “I made those,” she said squealing in delight. She clapped her hands together a big smile on her face. “I made those. I wasn’t sure. I thought I failed...but I made those.” She said giggling. Before she knew it she was up hugging him. Throwing her arms around his neck. “I made those! I didn’t fail!” |

He was even less prepared when the young woman suddenly threw her arms around his neck and started hugging him. "Stop... stop that!" he protested. With difficulty he managed to set his cup and spoon down, then carefully disentangled her arms from around his neck.? "That was quite uncalled for," he growled, fixing her with what he hoped was his most disapproving glare.? "I... I could still eat you, you know." When he felt he'd recovered some of his dignity, he picked up the cup and spoon again and resumed stirring his tea.? "Yes, you made these.? Entirely on your own, using the affinity for magic that exists within you." He paused to examine the detailed decoration that adorned both objects.? "And did an exceptional job of it.? I was just hoping for something that wouldn't leak or break, but this..." he held the cup to his mouth and took a long luxuriating sip "...this was far more than that.

When he said he could eat her she swallowed a laugh but stood ramrod straight. “Of course.” She said turning to sit back down. She winked at Angus as she did. Returning to her seat. She listened to him as he spoke. “I am so glad you approve. I just wanted you to be able to enjoy tea again. I didnt think I had done anything right. I’m so glad it worked.” She looked at him enjoying his tea. “So now what.”

Instead, he cleared his throat and busied himself fixing a cup of tea which he brought to Mikayla, with whom he did share a discreet smile. "It would seem that you've achieved the basics of conjuration," the Dragon said, once Mikayla had been served.? "Which was remarkable, considering it was your first real attempt.? The next logical step is to move on to transformation." He paused to drink some more tea from the cup she had produced with her magicks.? "Conjuration involves creating something from nothing," he went on, nodding at the cup in his talons.? "But transformation involves taking something that already exists and changing its basic nature.? It may sound simple, but in fact it is far more complex. Especially if you're attempting to transform a living thing, which has its own rules when it comes to magic." "Angus has returned the book to its stand," he went on, setting his cup aside and turning his head to face Mikayla once again, "with the section on transformations open and marked.? He has also given you a stone block to practice with. When you are ready, see what you can make of it.? Until then, I fear I must rest some more.? I am much recovered, but I tire easily."? With that he motioned to Angus and the servant bowed and escorted her out of the room, carrying the tea tray with him.

- Mikayla - "Oh...of course," she said rising from her seat. "I am glad you like the tea set. Rest well." she said then turned and left her place at the table since he had effective dismissed her. Without another word, Mikayla walked out the door. She tried hard not frown, but she was shocked at just how quickly she was dismissed. She had wanted to get to know The Dragon more. To talk to him more, but it seemed like with him if he was not growling at her, he was dismissing her. She was lost in that thought went Angus spoke to her. "That is polite?" she said disbelieving. "He dismissed me again. I thought we were getting to know each other and he just dismissed me and banished me to the magic room." She sighed. "I am sorry Angus. I must sound like a terrible brat. it is not my intention." She said as she reached the room. "I just hoped that he and I would learned to become friends." she said "Like you and I are."

Taking her place before the book. Her fingers and eyes locking on the page.? And soon she was entranced. Lost to the call of the spells on the page. Silently murmuring the words to herself.

It's just... the Master was never very good at social interactions, even when he was human.? Being a dragon has only made it more difficult for him."? Lowering his voice, he added "The truth is, Mistress, he's afraid of running out of things to say.? Always has been. So it's easier for him if he just keeps conversations short."

His words were kind and she accepted them as such. “Thank you Angus.” She said. “If I need anything I will be sure to call.” She nodded her goodbyes to him and then began to read the book.

She was entranced by the scents and the breeze and the feel of her hands roaming her skin. Her only thought was more... ? She needed to get out of here now. She thought quickly stepping around him, quickly moving to the door. |
