As we made it to the Grand hall within the World Tree for lunch, Priscilla suddenly said, "Oh dear, I forgot to do something before we left. Go on without me Roy, I'll be along in a bit. Do say hi to my dear husband for me will you." After that she waved me off and sped back towards the lake.

Setting food inside the hall, I realized how hungry I was. The enticing aroma of cooked meat wafted through the air here. Looking around the space I saw Winston in a corner stuffing his face. I wandered over to where he was sitting. "So Winston, where did you go off when I stepped into the Spirit World?" I asked as I sat down next to him.

"...hmph..." Winston choked on his meal as I asked this. "...O.o.oh Roy, fancy seeing you here. To answer your question, To be honest I got bored waiting for you so I thought I'd go figure out someone to teach you magic here. All of us can use magic, but its more of an intrinsic thing for most of us. So I had to go to the few of us who have actively studied magic and it's theories and principles. Coincidently, the one I found just so happens to be where we are headed next as well..."

My stomach chose this point in time to voice its complaints with me.

"Well we can talk about all of this over lunch. Why don't you go get some and sit down Roy." Winston said while chuckling at my embarrassed expression.

We ended talking about how after I went into the trance required to visit the spirit world, Winston went to talk with Sheila to ask her to teach me magic along with what I need to know about the spiritbeasts. Apparently she had been ecstatic when she heard that she would be able to teach me what she knows. She is one of those people who will take any reason to show anyone her research about SpiritBeasts and Magic. Supposedly I was to learn my unique type of magic with her, and learn about all the different kinds of fauna within this world. When we finished eating we ended up going towards Sheila's Lab to the south.

Upon arriving at a clearing within the forest, I couldn't help but notice an absolutely massive baobab tree. Thats when Winston stated,

"Here we are. Sheila's Laboratory. Where anything and everything magical is located within this forest. Oh and I guess she also runs the library we have on the second floor here. Anyways we should stop moseying around and head inside, Sheila has been excited since I told her about you needing a teacher. If I make her wait any longer she may try to blow me up again." That last part he said as if recalling a traumatic experience.

Just as he turned around, the odd metal door with a valve embedded in the middle, started to make a clunking noise and then it hissed. The valve started to twist and the door slowly swung open to reveal a pouty Sheila standing in the doorway.

As Winston realized what was about to happen he used a spell to fly away at top speed. As he did that a giant fireball appeared from out of nowhere and flew towards him faster than I thought possible. It hit him in the air and he crashed from the sky to the ground in the clearing. He looked charred and was just twitching from the explosion that just hit him.

"Hmphf.. That's what you get for making me wait so long Little Winston." Shelia said while kicking some dirt towards him. Directing her attention at me she switched gears and put on a lovely smile as if this kind of thing happens all the time. "Don't mind Winston there, He cannot be killed no matter how much effort I put into my magic, trust me I've tried. Anyways Roy, pleased to make your acquaintance once again. I heard from the dipwad over there that you need someone to teach you how to effectively use your magic, and need to figure out what your unique spell is. We should be able to do all of that here within my Lab why don't you follow me inside and we can talk about that as well as the History of Everest's Family."
