Looking down at the count yard of the ramshackle {MagicGuild : Magic Guild} of Zefielia,
he spied the red hair youth in the gray apprentice's robes, hiding

crates. Small and whipcord thin, {it : she} looked like a young boy, but
recently a faint hint of bust and (slightly) wider hips made it clear
she just "decided" to be a girl instead. Her pixie-like face was turned
upward, framed by her long thick red hair (it reached well down her back
and was her secret pride and joy), and her blue eyes went round with
shock as she spied were her errant throw had landed. All others, the
initiates, apprentices, and novices, scattered like the four winds in
all directions, abandoning their "leader" to her fate.
"S@#&! Lina, get y'er scrawny butt up here, NOW!" he yelled down to the
negligent trainee.
I'm sure that does wonders for her self-esteem.
Durian wasn't drunk, contrary to Lina's belief otherwise, he was
actually just dead tired and bone weary. Oh he {drinks : drank}, even Durian would
admit that, but the wine he had over the past few nights was just enough
to wash down his meals. It was that cursed tome, the translation of a
translation, a prophecy about "Two Sisters" and the death of one of the
five Mazoku lords and the (possible) re-birth of Shabranigdo.
That does sound a lot like Lina's career, so I'd guess something has locked
her potential. Hopefully the next chapter will tell us more.
The rest of the tome was lost or un-decipherable, though hints of some
great destiny or conflict did remain, enough to frighten the 90 year old
sorcerer. <It's a good thing that it's justa tale, some drunkin seer's
dream more likely inspired by da bottom of a wine bottle than da Lord of
Nightmares> Durian mused. <Such wild things just didna happen, imagine a
powerful sorceress needin a "protector" or da Knight of Ceiphied workin'
as a WAITRESS!>
Unless Luna started watressing after this point in time, I'd think he'd
know that at least that part was already in progress.
