The Dark One placed her hand on my head, and a soft glow began to emanate from her palm. My dizziness began to slowly subside.

"Cemilian, have you figured out why I am having you train your body and continually channel magic?" She asked.

I shook my head in response.

She sighed, "What is mana, where does it exist, and what is its role in the formation of life?" She asked.

I pondered these questions, and then it hit me.

"It seems you figured it out," she said. "Take this time to rest and reread your lessons," she said.

I'm a fool.

Mana exists in every cell and acts as a buffer against and absorbs the chaotic energies around us. Without it, we are exposed and vulnerable. However, the more one trains their body and magic, the more mana they can effectively store into my body.

I am a damned fool.

"Lastly, Cemilian, you referred to me as the Dark One. To you, I am not the Dark One. I am your master and teacher, Razefa Dwyera. Don't forget that," she said with a soft smile.

I felt a wave of awe washed over me.
