Suehprom was far too kind to us last night.” Eknara’s daemon, Aicatul, landed on her left shoulder as the young sorcerer’s apprentice walked into her mentor’s house. It was a huge house that was a little on the modest size and located quietly near the end of the street. “Shouldn’t have stayed up so late reading,” Aicatul cautioned. His form was that of a Saker’s Falcon, while his human was a young twenty your old girl with brown skin, green hair and ever curious blue eyes. “I wonder what Prilla’s gonna have us do today. I am so tired of all these boring ‘mandatory’ exercises. I mean when was the last time we actually did something fun and exciting?!” Eknara exclaimed this with a hint of enthusiasm as she clenched her fists before her. As she surveyed the room in search of her mentor she added in a quiet more thoughtful tone, “it’s even been a while since we’ve gone hunting.” “Study,” Aicatul chimed in. “Yeah …” Eknara answered, acknowledging that her mentor, Prilla, was probably busy in her study as usual. Eknara approached the designated room and knocked. “Come in,” welcomed a voice. As Eknara opened the door she was greeted by the sight of a white panther; Prilla’s daemon by the name of Laitmar. Aicatul greeted him as Eknara walked to a table in Prilla’s study. Prilla was obviously very busy working on something and this piqued Eknara’s interest. “Ooh! What are you working on?” Eknara’s excitement was portrayed in Aicatul’s sudden take-off into the air as he circled the rather large room before zeroing on the table filled with reading material, various instruments and other odd objects Prilla used in her casting. “Not anything you’re quite yet ready for, my child.” Prilla rolled up some scrolls and closed a rather large book that she was just perusing before turning to Eknara. “Why are you late today?” An ashamed expression suddenly appeared on Eknara’s face. “I … ummm... that book you lent me on ---” “You stayed up late reading, didn’t you?” Prilla interrupted. “It was really interesting though. I mean it went into so much detail on how I could improve the intensity of my fire spells and it talked about so many different kinds of fire spells I could do.” Unable to meet Prilla’s eyes at that moment, she looked down at her feet and shuffled them a bit. Tardiness was a common habit of Eknara that Prilla was still working on breaking. Eknara had improved over the years under Prilla’s tutelage, but she would always relapse every now and then. Today, she was around an hour and thirty minutes late. Prilla sighed as she was perfectly aware of this habit of Eknara’s to not be able to put down a good book. She admired the young lady’s enthusiasm in her studies, but the lack of discipline the girl possessed in some areas was still troubling. Eknara heard the sigh and lifted her head. Her attention once again went towards the large book and scroll that Prilla was now shoving into a desk drawer. ‘First from the top, second from the right. Got it.’ “Well, it’s a bit too late to go on that hunt I was going to take you on to work on some long range attacks and concentration skills … so I’m gonna leave you alone with this text for some private study and tests. I have to take care of a few errands. I’ll be back in about three hours.” Prilla handed Eknara a red leather-bound book. “The materials you need are laid out for you over in the other room.” Eknara was not allowed alone in Prilla’s private study. The young lady eyed the text on the book as her eyes glazed over. ‘I’ve already been through this how many times now?’ she asked herself. ‘I really should have just put that book down earlier last night. That hunt would have been nice … ’ Eknara was already bored. Aicatul was seemingly dozing off as he eyed some children running on the other side of the study’s windows. “Okay …” Eknara looked up at Prilla. “I’m really sorry about being late. Can we please go on that hunt tomorrow morning?” “We’ll see,” Prilla answered and motioned for the young lady to get out. Eknara followed and walked in front of Prilla to the smaller room across from Prilla’s study. She clenched her jaw as she heard Prilla locking the door to the study behind her.
