The Forgotten Legacy

I awoke to a soft knocking on the door to the bedroom I was occupying. I got up out of the bed and walked over to the door and opened it slightly. It turned out to be Liz trying to get me up for breakfast for the day. I thanked her for coming to wake me up. When she went back to finish making breakfast I washed up in the washroom they had down the hall. When I got to the table for breakfast, I saw that Winston was sitting there like nothing had happened yesterday. In fact, he was already stuffing his face not even waiting for everyone to sit down first.

"How are you not dead after what I saw yesterday?" My mouth got the better of me and I ended up asking what was at the forefront of my mind when I saw him.

Taking a big gulp of water from a cup to his side, Winston replied, "Well that's obvious isn't it? Oh right. I totally forgot no one has told you about my unique spell have they. Very well I shall demonstrate in a way better suited to my tastes." With that he took a small knife from his belt and proceeded to slice across his palm. Blood instantly started welling up and then he stated as if showing this for the thousandth time, "My unique spell is call -Regenerate-, it essentially lets me recover from any injury as long as I have mana left to use. In return for burning some of the magical energy flowing within me I am able to regenerate any part of my body. Oh and I should mention that this only really works well with me because of my extremely large mana pool compared to everyone else here." As he finished this statement his palm was already healed as if he hadn't cut himself in the first place. "As long as I have enough mana within me I am able to heal from even the most grievous of injuries. That being said it doesn't mean I don't feel all the pain that comes along with any injury. Either way that is the basic's of my unique spell, I can do more with it but I'll leave that up to your imagination. In the meantime, I was supposed to tell you to go to the lab after breakfast. Sheila apparently wants to start training you in magic today. Let's finish breakfast and you'll head on over." Winston then stated that if Sheila asks why he isn't with me today to say that he had other pressing matters to attend to day. Though I thought I sense a little bit a apprehension from him, I decided to let it slide after seeing how Sheila treats him.

After a delicious breakfast of some kind of flat bread with jam, I headed on over to Sheila's Lab. On the way I decided to ask Everest about his dad and how he feels about what we learned yesterday.

"Well to be honest, It isn't like I really knew him in the first place. The only memory I have of him is him giving me the -Shadow Walk- Spell. I have not heard much more than what you have here regarding him. So I'm just not sure how to feel about it all."

"I knew of Rudi when I was wandering out around the Spirit World" A Third voice joined in our conversation. Recognizing it as Chronos' voice, I urged him to keep talking about Rudi as he knew him for Everests' sake. "Well, when I was out flying about the great plains of the spirit world, I just so happened to see a small clan of jet black folx spirits running across the plain as if to catch something. When I got to the head of the pack I saw that there was a lone Folx who was running faster than everyone else. This would be Rudi. Eventually they ended up at a large river situated within the center of the plains. Rudi was there before anyone else. Larger than any other Folx in the vicinity, He looked like a proper leader. When the majority of the pack got to the rivers edge, he used an immense amount of mana to create a magnificent bridge made of Ice to cross the river. When that was done he started on his way across the bridge to the other side of the large river. That was the most I ever saw of him. Besides that the Midnight Folx clan tends to stay out of the way of everyone else. They rule over all of the spirits within the spirit world after all. They only get involved in disputes large enough to cause the destruction of the spirit world. I never actually talked to him myself. But he was every bit as majestic as anyone says. "
