The third chocolate mint muffin slid down her throat easilyas Ilyea chewed the confectionery that her daughter had provided her. There wasstill two more upon the plate to the side, and the woman began to feel herselfgetting a little full. The taste did not have the dryness of too much flourbeing added, and seemed moist on the tongue as it slid down. She only had topause to drink one glass of water in-between each muffin instead of the usualtwo.
As Ilyea reached for another muffin, her eyes glanced overto one of the lighted candelabra that glittered along the tavern halls ofErudition. It was of shiny polished metal that was of some expensive tastefulthing that Demy had picked out. Hell if Ilyea knew at that point, but it wasthe flame that the mage was attracted to. Her mind drifted to the one personthat the flame seemed to exist on, the Phoenix.
“Aranya is someone that one could easily wax poetic abouttheir beauty, their kindness, their support for people but there’s somethingelse I can’t really put my finger on.
Was it how she didn’t seem phased when I pressed the knifeto the Naga’s throat and cut it? Kin-ship by torture it would seem to be arather fine gait.
I always wondered how her magic *tasted* like but the stupidarcane gem that Halenvar gave her always kept me from getting a true feel atleast until recently.
Her magic seems to pulse and flow like a heart. It bubblesclose to the surface and then spreads around like magma. There’s a dark core ofsomething that singes your tongue when it becomes too hot and the soft feelingof fire light on a cold day.
Just like Garog, she is fire but not quite.
Perhaps like with the ritual to bring her back from thenether, there is an essence within the flames that derives her magic. Maybethat is why the Valanjar gave Aranya the gem because there is something therethat may undo it.
Something interesting, but something deeper.
It’s hard to say exactly what I think of her because I feelas if there is more. Something more then what we are meant to be seeing.
Conclusion: Observe. Observe and generally approachable, aswell as polite as need be. Take as much knowledge as you can about the woman,when you can. Take up any offers she has as well, she knows a lot more then shelets on”
Ilyea pushed the empty plate of muffins to the side beforegulping down another large glass of conjured water. Using a passing servant,Ilyea snuck past the kitchen to avoid another muffin ladened plate as she madeher way outside.
