Chapter 2: Obtaining Permission
By Occulte
Summary: Shocked yet happy that she can communicate with Akkarin, Sonea seeks out the forbidden books on black magic to better understand her situation.
As Sonea stepped out into the corridor, she felt a sudden chill. Like there would be a turn of events in the time to come. But as long as she had Akkarin by her side, she was ready to face anything even a war.
Sonea slowly made her way to Takan's room. As he had lived for so many years with the Ichani who had blood gems, maybe he had an idea of what was happening to her.
She slowly opened Takan's door, seeing him looking at a book. Upon closer observation she realized that he was pondering the use of herbs to improve his cooking.
'I think your cooking is perfect enough without the use of herbs.'
'You startled me my Lady, I thank you for your compliments but nothing is ever perfect so I wish to further improve my cooking.' replied a startled Takan.
'But would I be right if I guessed that there is a more important subject for us to discuss and not my cooking?'
'You know me too well' said Sonea with a laugh.
'The reason I'm here is to ask you in all your years with the Ichani, what can you tell me about blood gems?'
'Ah, my Lady wishes to know more about the blood gems. Alas, my knowledge is only limited to what Akkarin has told me.
'I'm sorry to hear that as I had hoped that you could tell me whether there were other properties of the blood gem that I didn't know.'
'Perhaps the books that Akkarin had kept would be of help?'
'Yes, perhaps they would.'
Sonea left the room, pondering Takan's words. She made her way to Rothen's room, after all that has happened; Rothen had greatly helped her create her new life. Maybe he could obtain permission for her to go through the books on black magic.
Knock
'Yes?' said Rothen as he made his way to open the door.
'It's me, Sonea.'
'Sonea, what can I do for you or are you just here for a friendly chat?'
'Actually I was wondering whether I could go through the books that Akkarin found.'
'The one's on black magic?'
'Yes, I wish to know more about the blood gems.' replied Sonea
'It will take some persuading but I'll see what I can do.'
'Thank you.'
As Sonea was leaving the room...
'Don't worry, the Higher Magicians will let you use the books'
'Akkarin, can you please give some sort of sign before you start talking to me as it is quite scary to hear a voice out of nowhere.'
'Ok, you'll start hearing winds blow if I want my presence known.'
'Alright then.'
Later that night.
'Sonea, the Higher Magicians have allowed you access to the books but as long as you bring someone else to look over it with you.' Said Rothen to Sonea as they were eating dinner in his room.
'Fine, I'll bring Takan seeing as he lived in a place that practiced black magic.'
'When do you wish to use the books as arrangements have to be made.'
'Is tomorrow morning ok?' said Sonea.
'Sure, please come see me to obtain the key to the room that holds the books.'
Suddenly Sonea heard wind blowing.
'Ah, that must be Akkarin.' thought Sonea to herself.
'That was a delicious dinner. But I'm afraid I must excuse myself as I'm feeling a tired.'
'Of course, I'm sure the baby must be tiring you.'
When Sonea was back in her room.
'You had better get some rest as a long day of searching is ahead of us.' said Akkarin.
'Sure.'
Sonea slept peacefully for the first time since Akkarin's death knowing that she could still talk to her beloved.
