She shrugged slightly. Her eyes remained shut. Though it made her feel slightly disorientated, Resee did manage to feel a little less suffocated. "The Lake of Runes never glowed unless the Inscriptors induced it. There never was the circle of glyphs either. I never knew it existed. As for Rania's seal, it's just a projection, just like the rest of the images. I don't know if anything like that is in Tenarin."

"But, that's mainly the reason I'm here in the first place, to find out what the mage discovered and what happened to the mage," Sayuri contemplated. "And the last message that the mage had sent said was that he had discovered something here in Tenarin about the seal... this only makes that mage's story all the more true and now all the more for my need to investigate."

Could this be the reason as to why Sayuri was here in the first place? That something in Tenarin was waiting for her to uncover something very important that may very well lead to the seal that had sealed the curse on Rania's king?

She sighed before she asked the next question, "So do you know what could have induced it to glow like the way it did? Like you said, only the Inscriptors could make it glow like it did and yet it did glow without them nearby."

"You are a mage," Resee chose the simplest explanation. Her mind, it seemed, offered only simplistic replies. "None of us are like you or your people. And I think you are the first mage who bathed in the Lake of Runes as well.

"The lake is something like a small Mana reserve. The Inscriptors know how to access the mana flow... but I don't know how. Maybe your magic triggered it?" she wondered vaguely. "I'm can't be sure... it's all my assumption."

She paused for a moment, a small frown creasing her brows above her closed eyes. "I think... I've heard of a strange occurance years ago. I'm not sure how true it is, but in the Strata Mountains, a third mountain pass would appear at random times. The people there said a sorcerer lived beyond the third pass."

"Ah," was all Sayuri said as she listened to Resee's assumptions. Despite them being so, they still sound more or less reasonable as to the answer to her question. Resee doesn't know and yet she's trying to the best of her ability to answer. So more or less so, Sayuri understood the reasoning behind her answers.

She snapped her attention to Resee the moment she described about the Strata Mountains.

"I'd like to go there as soon as I'm allowed to leave... seeing as it's probably the only lead I have right now to finding the missing mage," Sayuri reasoned, sounding thoughtful and looking thoughtful. She continued to make the crown to distract herself.

"How long ago was this occurrence?"

Her eyes slid open and she looked up a little wearily, distantly noting the lush green blades of grass. "The rumour started circulating about two decades ago. Maybe twenty five years for the closest estimate."

The Strata mountains... the mage didn't know the mysterious place. "The Strata mountains is different from the usual mountain ranges. It's a mountain range that sits atop something like a canyon. You can barely see the mountain tops because it reaches way beyond the clouds.... The people there only live at the foot. The third pass leads up. I've never heard of anyone attempting to go there." She looked up at the mage. "Are you sure you want to go?"

"Twenty five years... thirty years ago was when the mage first left so I'm wondering if it's possible..." she mumbled, her mind already beginning to form up ideas as to how to search for the mage. That was when she realized, what was going to happen after she found him?

Sayuri turned her gaze from the crown to Resee as she spoke of the mountains. Her eye-brows furrowed slightly as she became deep in thought and stared at the crown in her hands. If she went, then it'll be risking her very life just trying to find the mage. However, she couldn't let this opportunity to pass, for this was probably the only lead that she has to finding the mage who had a lead on the seal.

She turned to face Resee before replying with a small smile, "Yes... I'm afraid so... it's probably the only lead I have now on the mage of Rania that went missing... and he might be able to tell me what he had discovered before he disappeared, if I do find him..." It was life threatening, the idea of climbing a mountain. But she had her magic with her so maybe it was all right of her to attempt it.

"If I go, and it gets too dangerous, of course, I'll back out... after all, what use would I be if I went and got myself killed?" She shook her head slightly as she turned to concentrate on the flower crown that was beginning to take shape. "Unless there are some other strange occurrences like that elsewhere in Tenarin..."

Nodding, Resee returned her gaze to the ground. Thirty years... she had a feeling that whoever Sayuri was looking for was probably gone. But it was the only lead she was ever going to get. No other rumours of sorcerers exist in Tenarin. "No... I don't think there are any other rumours quite like it. There are some places with interesting things. Like the river of fire, or the Valley of Lumen. They are not magical though... just wonders of nature."

Someone was approaching and she could hear the hurried steps and slightly hastened breathing.

Jegan had been running around the Royal Grounds in search of her, with a bundle of white fluff in his arms. It was so small that the little creature sould sit in the single palm of his hand. When he caught sight of her lustrous brown hair amongst the bushes, he hurried towards her. "Res-" He blinked when he saw the mage, and a blush quickly crept up his throat. Well damn. The mage was going to see him doing something this ridiculous....

She turned in response to her name- well, half of it anyway. "Jegan?"

"Uhh... hey," he began, cursing in his head for sounding like a complete idiot. He hadn't even realized that he was now standing still. "I- got you... something," he mumbled unintelligibly, looking down into his folded arms where a small white rabbit nestled.

Resee gave the mage a brief glance to excuse herself and rose to her feet. She was a little confused why Jegan would seem so... flustered? "What's that?" she asked automatically while walking towards him.

His lips pulled up slightly to form a small sheepish smile. Instead of answering, Jegan held out the little animal to her. It sat snugly in his hands, small ears errect and nose twitching as it stared at her with its large, black beady eyes.

"A rabbit," she said, with a slight lilt in her voice that asked what in the world drove him to get her a bunny. Resee was amused, and she couldn't help smiling at the little rabbit.

"Yes, a rabbit...." He shifted a little nervously, trying to gauge her reaction as discreetly as possible. She didn't like rabbits? "For you," he added gruffly.

"Whatever am I supposed to do with it?" she asked him. But her interest in the little thing was clear- it was too adorable to pass.

When she didn't take it, he tried not to appear too crest fallen. "I could give it to the head cook if you don't like it...."

That was all that was needed to make her take it. She tucked it safely in the crook of her arm and almost glared at him disapprovingly. "Thank you," was her curt gratitude. "You didn't have to threaten me with the cook." But really... she didn't know what to do with the fragile little creature.

Jegan promptly cleared his throat, trying hard not to grin at her reaction. There. At least it managed to cheer her up. "Lady Sayuri," he greeted with the usual bow.

Sayuri looked up moments before Resee did, towards the hall where the running seemed to be coming from. She still listened to what Resee was saying and said with a small shrug, "Well, if the Mountains one comes to a dead end, it wouldn't hurt to go check them out; I'm curious about them now that you've told me."

Along with Resee, she looked up in the direction of where Jegan's voice first came from. She raised an eye-brow at the white fluff that he held in his hand. She nodded to Resee when she excused herself to go look at what Jegan was holding. Then after a moment, she realized what it was without Jegan having to say what it was. She got up along with Resee and walked over, still holding the crown.

When he presented the rabbit, she smiled. How sweet of Jegan! And when Sayuri looked over to Resee, she felt happy that Resee was able to smile again, although she figured it was probably because she was amused by the situation.

When he threatened Resee that he would give the rabbit to the cook, she giggled upon Resee's immediate reaction.

Sayuri glanced up at her face and found that she seemed at a loss as to what she would do with the rabbit. Before she could speak up, Eve flew down, scaring the rabbit and then landing in a nearby tree.

"Eve!" Sayuri exclaimed. She only chirped in reply and then ruffled up her feathers.

"I'm not going to eat the rabbit, if that's what you're wondering," Eve said to Sayuri, sounding hurt that she would think so.

"Well, you are a falcon, so it'd only be natural," Sayuri replied to Eve as she eyed her. Eve then fluttered a bit of ways away, so the rabbit would calm down a bit.

She returned her attention to the rabbit and Resee. "If you'd like, I can take care of the rabbit for you, Resee." She smiled, her eyes absorbed in the small creature as she petted it gently, calming it down further from its scare of the falcon that now seemed to be cleaning herself.

Her free hand covered the small startled creature reflexively when she glimpsed a swooping shadow overhead. It was so small, she was afraid the smallest squeeze would crush the little thing. Resee looked up to find the falcon eyeing the rabbit in her arms, and she couldn't help feeling protective. Of all things... why did he give her something so fragile? Resee knew she was far from gentle. And she was sure he knew that too- firsthand. She had sparred with him once and hit him too hard on his forearms. Apparently, she had no good control over her strength and would always hurt someone close whenever she was... active.

The thought of him giving her something so sweet, though, stirred something warm within her. Resee didn't mind, but she didn't want to lose or hurt the little rabbit that Jegan had given her.

"Your falcon isn't going to eat it, is it?" Resee asked, sounding a little doubtful.

Jegan only blushed harder when the mage laughed. What a way to be embarassed...

"And yes please... it's so small." She nodded gratefully. "I'm afraid I'll hurt it if I am not extremely careful...."

For some reason, Jegan was feeling a little... irritated. But he was careful to hide it.

"No, Eve isn't going to eat him," Sayuri said with a smile. "She's just wondering how such a small creature could be so small."

She took the rabbit into her hands after she let the crown slide down her arm until it hit the crook of her elbow. She held the rabbit in her hands and held it close to her face. She closed her eyes as she let her mind for a moment touch the rabbit's, whose immediate reaction was shown as it blinked and began to rapidly sniff Sayuri's nose. She giggled at the sniffing nose as it touched her own, feeling the tickling feeling that the rabbit's nose gave her.

"Who are you?" he asked, still sniffing.

"I'm Sayuri, this is Resee, your owner, and this is Jegan, the one who got you," Sayuri replied, pointing the white rabbit towards each person as they were mentioned. She looked up from the rabbit as she looked at Resee, "What do you want to name him?"

Carefully moving him to fit her one hand, she let her fingers help hold the rabbit as her free hand then conjured some type of fabric, thread, and a needle. Surprisingly, it began to sew the fabric together until a small pouch came to appearance in a rather brisk fashion. The thread and needle disappeared and the strap of the pouch hovered over to her hand.

The rabbit sniffed continuously, sniffing his surroundings. The rabbit seemed to understand that his name was about to be bestowed on him as he looked to Resee.
