The musician is back

Then I had to drop out from school... just to learn from another

After our journey, we wanted to focus on our studies, but Tianji got a letter from his master, saying the both of us have to quit our school, pack our things and come to him. Well It wasn't easy, this school was everything I fought for just a few years ago, and to just disappear, without getting goodbye to my family is.. well very difficult.
As for Tianji, he was happy to quit, and return home...

In the end, I decided not to quit but to take a year off and sent a letter to my family saying, that I have encountered a very interesting offer to work in foreign and that I will be very busy. In the end I promised them I will visit and explain everything later... It's the best solution I found so far...
Well anyway, we took our things and Tianji drow us to where his master is staying.

He welcomed us like this:
,,Here comes my pupil and the master of all masters, little girl, you don't really look very confident and powerful, at this rate to my you are just another pupil just like that one there. ( he pointed at Tianji)
Anyway, come in."

So after the warm welcoming we entered his house, I will tell you, for an old man, very luxurious. He has a vile with a lake just next to the forest. Just like a begging to a good horror movie.
,,What is your name dear?"
,, My name is Lili."
,, So listen, I will teach you how to play, go through all the theory, and Tianji is going to teach you magic in practice, as you can see, my old bones won't really take it anymore."
( I started to laugh) ,, Is something funny there? I suppose we start right away, come on come on, just this way to my library ( well the laugh disappeared from my face and instead Tianji started to laugh as I walked into the library.)
,, Here, you need to read through all those books, and then you can start to learn something!"
( You have never seen more books on a table, all of them thick, old, not interesting visually... Worse then any other school you might encounter, believe me.)

,, Mister, how am I supposed to learn all those? I have never read so many books in my life.
,, Even that rascal Tianji managed that, this should be nothing for a musician and an elit mage. Now tell me, what name would you like to have? Every mage gets a new name after getting a mister, I for one let my pupil decide for themselves."
,, Well I... Lilith, I want to be called Lilith. But, why do we have to change our names?"
,, It's a tradition, when you get borned, your parents decide how to call you, but once you are going to learn magic, you create your own way, your our opinions, the path you take, thats why. You should always remember your birth name for those you like and trust, and your new name, for the rest of world."
,, I understand"
,, So Lilith it is, not much of a change, but it's up to you. Now I will let you study."

,, Here it is, me and a bunch of books..."
I took one of the books and started to read, then Tianji came to visit me with water."
,, Here, drink something, the dinner will be a little bit later." Then he sat next to me.
,, Thank you"
,,So, what is your new name?"
,, It's Lilith"
,, Hah, you really changed it a lot, bravo" and he kept laughing.
,, Stop it, anyway, I wonder, what is your real name?"
,,Ryu, that's my real name."
,,Ryu, is much simpler then Tianji, mind if I call you like that?"
,, Not really, just don't do it Infront of the old man, I don't really miss his lectures."
,, Okay, I won't."
,, Ryu? Can you tell me another story? About the musician"
,, Okay, I can tell you one before the dinner, I will tell you my favourite fairytale."

When the musician had some free time, he often visited one town in Eldery.
Eldery is a place, behind the gate to this world. A place in our magical realm. For you to imagine that place, it has been a calm small state. Most of the people there were street musicians, toy makers or tailors. And the town in Eldery was Dalmen. He often visited his dear friend.
That friend was a toy maker. He often bought dolls, wooden toys, and much more stuff, then gave them to homeless and ill children. He gave them medicine, and toys, but unfortunately, not every illness could be cured. The age wasn't very light, there were spreading a lot of curses, illnesses and diseases. Not even the famous magical knew the roots of these illnesses. Many people died, but still, he saved many and took care of them although he knew, he can't save everyone.
But anyway one day, he found a little child, she was blind and had no family, her name was Aura. He took care of her and gave her a new home. But one day, she died. Suddenly and without any signs of illness, she just passed away. He liked her very much, she was like a daughter he never had.
Then he broke the rules, and gave her a new life. He made her a magical servant but, nothing more is known about her.

,, A nice story, but, how could he bring her back to life ? And does it mean the magician had two servants? Because you told me that the servants are our source of magic. And to practice spells, he might have a servant before?"
,, It's just a fairy tale Lili, noone knows whether the magician was good or bad, everything we have are books, fairytales and the three songs."
,, The dinner should be ready now, come on, let's get some strength."
