"In my hand, I hold divine fire that burns down all, gather before me-"
"Stop!" The Dark One said suddenly sounding perturbed.
I turned my head and looked to her.

"This is what the mages of the court said was how to cast magic," I replied.
"Really now," she replied as her eyes wandered upward and narrowed.
For a moment, she was silent until she turned back toward me.
"Well, let us start by teaching you circulation of energy. The first step of magic," she said with a smile.
