Mason was shell-shocked.  Water? He used water! Does that mean he was a bad guy? Or was he currently a bad guy?  He didn't understand this.  If it is a dream, it feels very real.  

"What do you know about my father?'' Mason asked

"He was a powerful Mage.  He was so good, I offered him immortality." Exx said

"You can do that?" Mason inturupted

"Yes, all immortal Mages can offer-"

"You're immortal!"

"Yes, but that's not the point.  As I was saying, all immortal Mages can offer other Mages immortality.  Your father turned me down."

"When he was away, he went here?"

"Yes he went here.  After he completed training, he didn't want to leave like most other Mages.  He wanted to go on Quests.  To go on Quests, you're required to be immortal.  Immortality is the highest rank a Mage can be offered.  I offered immortality to your father, but he turned me down.  I still allowed him to go on Quests-my most stupid mistake-and he didn't come back.  We haven't heard from him since"
