Wandering the Academy, Eldwin pondered over the most latest of discoveries in his mind. While he was close to ready to ask Louise about having her learn under him. Even thinking about the Headmaster for some leniency for him to teach Louise more at length. But he had a conundrum that puzzled him.
The Element's didn't like him.
It really started some days prior when he tried to connect with the Wind, using some bits of knowledge he had gleaned from the many books of the Library. That, only resulted in him snapping his neck after some hundreds of feet drop. So, after that, he tried again. Then again. And again. And once more before night. Each resulting in it tossing him around like some ragdoll, rolling him about in some mini twister before slamming him into the earth.
So, seeing as that was not working, along with a number of other techniques, Eldwin tried some other element. Water.
For best effects, he went of the largest source, which happen to be a lack not too far away from the Academy. But once he reached it, he tried meditating near the center of it, altering his gravity to rest peacefully on it's surface. Like with the wind, he touched it. Where upon it decided to gulp him up like some creature of the deep and drown him. Eldwin had to wrap himself out with Blink for every failure before eventually heading back to the academy, a quick Radiance to dry off his robes and body.
Earth was the next on his list, and for an entire day, Eldwin laid on the ground in the courtyard, attuning himself with the earth. He made a connection, easily in fact. The problem was… it ignored him. No, it pointedly knew he was there and proceeded to act like some snob that thought that he wasn't even worth it's time and just passed him off as a little speck of dust not even worth brushing off it's broad and powerful shoulders.
One long, peaceful and wasted day later, Eldwin decided to go on the the next element.
Form there he went to Colbert for some assistance in trying out Fire. That was a odd matter to speak of in itself. He and the man had gotten things started out well enough, finding a nice room that was closed off and getting a nice fire started. This was of course, the part where he tried to connect to the fire.
It didn't go well.
The Wind acted like a annoyed bird whoms nest was intruded. The Water acted more like a aggravated shark that was prodded at. The Earth merely waited until he would just leave. Fire? It might as well been a women that was having one of those off days where everything was going wrong and she decided that since you poked her feelings wrong, she'd rip your head off.
In this case, the fire tired engulfing him and burning him until he was ash. He had Colbert get the fire off, and the Guardian thanked the Light his robes were fire resistant- but the point stood that it was still hot and burned.
Though admittedly something interesting happened during that last part. Something that Eldwin didn't notice the first few times he was nearly burned alive. Whenever Colbert pulled it away, it seemed to settle, calm… almost purr contently when the mage pulled it back. It left Eldwin wondering. What was going on with the elements to act hostile at him, yet in this case, respond near placidly with mages, or in this case, Colbert?
A test was called for. Something to compare data with. He knew it. Ghost knew it. They both knew they needed something to compare data with. So it was with that thought that he asked Colbert for some aid in asking other teachers with an affinity to one element or another, to help him.
It confused Colbert, but he complied. First starting with a Wind mage, which Old Osmond seemed willing to help with. It was after being tossed off another tower, and Osmond thankfully catching him from another potential to-be death. Paying special heed, Eldwin once more noticed a strange and pleased thrum from the wind listening to Osmond.
Going on with the next mage table, Miss Chevreuse was the one for the earth test. Like before, it outright ignored him, but while he meditated on the ground and asked the ever confused women to cast some simple earth magic, did he feel the response. While he was pointedly ignored, it seemed all the more happy to accommodate the women, almost generously so.
Water was the last test, and really all he had to do was visit the healers in the Academy and ask for a bowl of water while performing his test. While the bowls of water didn't try swallowing him, they did try making little whirlpools to try. But like before, once those with water affinities touched and casted, they seemed to calm into serenity.
Of course tests didn't end there, Eldwind did ask Colbert to try a few other elements afterwards, and everything not the man's element, while listening, were not as… happy as they might be while heeding those of the same affinity. It ultimately left the Warlock puzzled as he walked on by. What was so different about him, that the four elements of their were so hostile?
Eldwin might have been stuck puzzling it, or until Colbert had made one little and seemingly innocent comment. "I haven't seen such violent reactions since Louise tried casting a spell!" It was meant to be a joke, and one that Eldwin openly laughed to. But now, it made him curious. Out of everyone, Louise could not cast a single element, but for one possible one.
Void.
The very same element that he, as a Warlock, used quite a lot. Extensively really, it was one of his greatest powers to wield and use. A Void-Light that can burn without heat and explode with very seemingly no force to cause it. And thinking it over some, Eldwin wondered if the Void's very nature is what set the other element's off. Maybe they didn't like him because they hated what it was.
They disliked him because they feared him. That was as the saying went. Many feared the Void and it's unknowns. Know the Void and wield it, and know no fear, while all others will know nothing but fear. Though that would come to question why Arc and Sol still worked. And it was fairly obvious. Sol and Arc were not restricted to planets, they were powers of Plasma, a fourth state of matter and energy that did not fit the three other states of matter or Thermal energy in a more traditional sense, so to speak. Arc, Sol and Void were almost cousins in a sense.
Who knows, perhaps I can still make friends with the Wind, the Earth, the Waters and the Fires? It was a optimistic thought, one that in all honesty, might take years upon years of work to complete. But, he was a Guardian, so he had time. Possibly more time than should be allowed for one such as him, but time. He would just have to be patient and learn.
Shaking his head, Eldwin soon refocused on a more important matter. Teaching Louise of her raw magical side, and then trying to give her the power of Sol to work with. Maybe if he can settle her down, Void. Both are options to be sure, and letting her at Void might be more simpler than he thought, but it wasn't a bad thing to be cautious.
Mostly because Louise had much fear. He hadn't noticed at first, but it began to show, or rather slowly make sense to him. Louise's confidence was at an all time low. The girl might act like everything was fine and place on a stern, annoyed face, but it was a front. Just like how Iroka Ren placed on a front of her own to stave off people. Even he had a slight mask of a front to hide his thoughts. Most Warlocks and Titans did anyways.
Teaching her Void with such low confidence in self, with such vulnerability still prevalent? It was just too dangerous in the Warlock's mind. Once he remedied that, once he had helped her corral that unease in the girl's heart, depending on how severe it was, only after that will Eldwin start her on the path of Void.
He just wondered how that will go. Honestly, Eldwin knew that at some point, he had to get himself a wand. Or a staff. Or something to try and focus magic through while making incantations just to test on how it might function. But perhaps he was overthinking things. Incantations normally had meaning, but the words didn't matter. The intent behind them did, words that were familiar to the mind only help cement it on what the intent was.
Unless he could use his hands as conduits, improvised focus points? Now that is a thought to possibly test out. Nodded the Warlock, figuring that would be a project for a latter date. Maybe after he help's Louise figure out more of her gifts and rectify a few other things. There was also the matter of that maid, Siesta. He needed to maybe check up on her and know how she had so much strengthened Light.
Later though. He already had enough on his mind.
Three full weeks, and nearly having been a month and nothing had changed. Louise wasn't sure if she should consider that good or bad, really. All things considered, the only thing that did change was the Warlock sleeping in her room on a small cot he took up with accepting humility, and the noesy little metal ball that was Ghost.
Adjusting herself in her seat, Louise looked down at her notes once more, only reflecting how nothing had actually changed. Yes, they now had Familiars, but other than that, nothing new had happened. The classes had not changed to drastically, and only a few called for her Familiar to be around for a spell.
Though that would never happen. None of the teachers wanted to risk a explosion in their rooms of learning.
It was left to say that despite all her work, Louise felt greatly left out. The jeers of her peers did not make it all the more better for her. She had to endure each one over and over as if they were obligated to bother her at every moment. It annoyed her.
Nearly grounding out a hiss of a sigh, Louise tried to push that thought away and resume looking over her notes. The last class she had over math was simple, but they had given out some odd problems. Though a glance through only showed that most of what was done was fairly simple in hindsight, their teacher had just fumbled in explaining.
I wonder if Mr. Lanro needs time off? It was mostly an idle thought of concern. Their math teacher had been going at his work none stop, maybe it was due to some lack of sleep? Whatever the case, Louise dropped it for now. She had her own work to keep an eye on than worry about a adult teacher that could take care of themselves.
"More team, Milady?" Came Siesta's voice, piquing Louise away from her thoughts.
Glancing the maid over briefly, Louise nodded and spoke, "Yes, if you please." Having noted the pot of tea she had before once more resuming her notes.
Even as the warm liquid was poured into the cup, Louise heard the Maid continue to speak. "Milaidy, I've noticed that you have not had your Familiar around." Something odd in the young woman's tone that made Louise frowen. "Has he been… well?"
Giving a glance, Lousie scrutinized this maid, taking in her features, slightly greater height, fair looks and even a more gifted bust. All of this made Louise frowned a bit more, but decided to play this little game for now. "Yes, he has been well." Then asked with a masked face, "Is there a reason for your concerns, Maid?"
She could see the maid, Siesta, tense almost nervously. "Well, Milady." She began almost nervously, "I noticed that he had… taken a nasty fall some days back. I wasn't sure where to find him, so thought to ask if he needed any medical needs."
Thinking to that, Louise didn't notice anything off. Eldwin seemed in perfectly good health to be honest. Something that he told her that Light could do, rejuvenate the body at such a rate one could be in perfect condition at all times. But leaving that where it was, Louise focused on the young women and told, "No. my Familiar has been fine." Then waved off with a hand, "You may go, Maid."
Siesta bowed and turned, though the tension of concern was still in place. Just how nasty of a fall did she think he took? Louise asked herself even as Siesta left. It was strange, like the girl thought Eldwin had broken an arm or legs, or something of the like. But he seemed perfectly fine form what the Valliere could tell. So, shrugging that off, Louise refocused on her work.
Speaking of Eldwin, Louise was really unsure what the man had been up to. He spoke of learning of elements and getting more information on magic, but other than that he had been wholly quite. If anything, Ghost was the most chatty during those times as the Warlock took to her balcony and meditated, floating off the ground as he did so.
And in admittance? As annoying and nosey as Ghost could be, he was a tiny library of information. So much so that he had explained a few concepts to her on a few occasions. Ones that made complete sense and almost coincided with a few books she was studying at the time. Louise actually believed Ghost when he said their society was very advanced in terms of scientific advancement.
Taking a sip of her tea though, Louise was still puzzled on what her Familiar was doing. It had been three full weeks, and yet he still studied and worked on his project of their magic. It was almost astonishing on how focused he was on learning it so much. To just understand it's workings. While she doubted he would meet their best scholars in knowledge on the subject in such a short time, Louise did feel a bit intimidated at the aspect of him surpassing her in knowing magical theorem soon.
If he hadn't already with his own branch of magic.
She wanted to rub her temples at the thought. Louise really did. How was it that she couldn't use magic, yet her Familiar was a utter master in the area? She really tried to not think about it, but it only served to remind her of her own shortcomings. Shortcomings that all had to just point out and claim her explosions were her lack of magical abilities.
But Eldwin thought otherwise. He was certain she had magic. Only, it didn't reach the results that they expected. That was the only real thing she could hold onto as a compliment. She had magic, only it just didn't seem to do what she wanted. Did that mean there was a way to make it work the way he wanted it to?
But how? With one of those other elements of his? The idea seemed preposterous. They were from another form of magic, how did Eldwin think that they could change the situation for her? Though, really, the idea of being able to use it still appealed to her. And a little part of her hoped, wished that would be the case. That she would get the chance to succeed in using magic the way it was intended.
"Louise?" The small girl nearly jumped out of her chair and almost split her tea just as she choose to take a sip. Whipping her head around, she was faced-to-face with the man she was just thinking about, and felt a familiar anger raise in her.
"Don't sneak up on me like that!" The Pinkette trying her hardest to calm down and make sure that she didn't stain her shirt with tea. Thankfully, nothing spilt, but she still got a scare!
Tilting his head, Eldwin said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so deep in thought." Then considered her and all the books and notes before saying, "Would you like help with that?" Motioning a hand to the table and it's contents. "I think it would be a good idea to move it to your quarters. Once done, then if you want, we can start learning some magic."
Almost halting, Louise had to replay that in her mind. Learning some magic. That was what he said. Almost slowly, Louise turned her head with a furrowed brow and asked, "Learn some magic, if I want?"
Giving a firm nod, Eldwin told, "Yes. I talked it over with the Headmaster himself. I'm willing to take you on as a appearance of sorts and begin teaching you a new form of magic."
Feeling her eyes widen, Louise tried to comprehend this. A chance to learn magic- not the sort she was familiar with, but magic nonetheless. Looking to her current studies, Louise knew se had to get it all done and looked over, mostly for later tests. Glancing back, Louise asked, "How long would these lesions be?"
"A few hours." Told the Warlock. "We need to establish a foundation before we do anything advanced. Colbert was kind enough to get a space ready for us to start off inside a classroom."
Having a slow nod, Louise gave one last look to her things before breathing in and saying, "I would like some help moving my things."
Louise shifted.
She felt almost jittery as she sat on a rug near the ground, Eldwin sitting cross legged before her and Colbert off to the side as an observer. The first step Louise found she had to do, was feel comfortable and calm. Both were a bit hard to do since for one, she wasn't comfortable sitting with her legs crossed. And second as she felt so nervous.
Eldwin had taken his helmet off, leaving it to the side and eyes burrowing into her, or so it felt. They were not pressuring her, but they were unwavering. "You may kneel and sit in that manner, if it relaxes you, young Louise." He told calmly. "FInd something that is most comfortable first, then we will proceed on."
This had to be one of the single most oddest ways of being taught. Louie shifted herself so she sat with her knees under herself, trying to figure out the angel Eldwin was trying to go at. She watched as he gave a nod and told, "Now, I need you to close your eyes, and clear your mind." Then gave a slight smile, "I'll help."
She wondered how, but Louise complied and closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind, as he told. After a few moments of silence, she heard him tell, "Eyes shut, and do as I ask. Deep breath in. Deep breath out." She slightly frowned her bows, but did as told, hearing him go on, "I want you to focus on just that. Breath in. Breath out. Think of nothing else, but your breath."
Doing so, and over the course of some minutes, and Louise had to admit… she felt… calmer. More at peace. The silence of the room and her comfortable place on the mat was… nice. "Good. Keep that stillness inside of you, Louise. Focus on it." She could hear Eldwin speak, a measure of calmness in his own voice.
For the longest time, that's all that she felt. A sort of calmness creeping into herself, focusing on each breath in as it expanded her chest, and breath out as everything decompressed. "Now. Focus on how it feels. Focus on your minds eye. Search out that feeling of energy. Do you feel it, Louise?" She heard the man ask, "Breath in…. Feel it… let it out, and feel it."
Trying to not overthink it, or think it over at all, Louise began to once more breah. Energy, he said she should feel energy. How? Where was it? She should see it in her mind's eye? She continued to breath, just focusing on her breathing. The feeling of how air came in, settled inside her small chest before rushing out. The way her heart pumped inside with a calm thumping or the slight pulse that seemed to course through her entire being. Was that always there?
"I need you to now pull up a image, a color, a thought." She heard once more. "It's there, Louise. What do you see, with what you feel?"
What did she see? She had to focus on all these… odd feelings throughout her being, piecing it together. There was something odd, but also familiar about it all. The beat of her heart, the rushing of air in her lunges, the pulse in her body and the… thrum. There was a gentle thrum in her. It felt… it felt cold, like steel but… but also without subtace. Empty, but vast. Oh so vast. Expanding maybe?
She felt curious. Louise ventured her focus further, trying to grasp this thing. Cold, empty, vast… tembling? It felt almost like it quvered in worry, but anticipation. There was also something else to it, a sort of light. A dull light that felt… familiar and comforting in it's own way.
So entranced by this, Louise almost missed the next instruction. "Place your hands together, eyes still shut." Slowly, she followed the words. "Have them in a lat prayer position, fingers touching the other. Yes, there you go, loose and relaxed. Now, take what you found, and push it up one arm, and trail it down the other through the fingertips."
Lips pressing together, Louise tried to grasp what she found, trying to… gently coax it, not force it. The idea to force it was her first instinct hammered in by her Mother, but feeling it tremble as it did… it didn't feel right. So she coxed it gently.
It complied. It complied and sent an odd warmth up her arm, building and crawling it's way up and up and up- then, a electrical feeling zapped through her body. Small hairs rose up at the sensation as for a moment, that energy crossed from her left arms finger tips, to the right hand's finger tips and down her right arm. A sort of circuit being made, the odd feeling looping, flowing, channeling. Louise felt her heart speed up, a odd exhilaration there.
"Focus on the feeling." She heard. "Keep the connection. Slowly move your hands away, cradle what you have." And while she did, she felt that energy change, shift, bend and twist. She slowly began to cup her hands, feeling a odd bowing feeling between her fingertips even as they were long separated and had nothing connecting them. "Pool it Louise, take what is dancing through your fingers and will it to pool between your hands and hold it."
This, was tricky. Louise had to focus much of her will to do this, bending it gently and having it 'pool' as the voice told. Feeling it swirl and twist on itself almost uncomfortable… until she was able to get it, have it settle almost like a ball of yarn that gently swirled inside it's new little place of being… still feeling a connection running through her arms.
"Now… open your eyes."
When Louise scrunched and with slight effort, did open her eyes, she felt them fly open and latter widen at the sight before herself. A floating, translucent wisp of pale glittering rainbow like magic danced in her cupped hands, leaving the girl enchanted by it's beauty.
Is this my.. Magic? She asked herself in wonder. It's…. It's so pretty. She didn't have much more to describe the colorful glitters in the non-existent winds that swirled it around her hands. She couldn't stop staring at it, and feeling it's… weight? Power? Fragelness? "Is this..?"
"Your magic." Nodded Eldwin, his voice once more recognizable to the young woman's ears. "For the next few days, this is what we'll be working on. Drawing out your magic, molding it with your being, and exercising control over it." Then glanced and said, "But maybe after you're done with observing your own magic, you should get something to eat."
A little startled at that, and almost losing her focus, Louise gave out confusedly, "Eh?" Looking around and noting that the room was… darker, in fact she could see a few candles lit. "What… how long were we at it?" It hadn't felt that long, did it actually go on for that long?
"Hours." Eldwin told while getting up. "Deeper meditation makes time lapse, become none existent." Standing to full height, the Warlock teacher nodded and told, "Go on and focus on your magic for now, Louise. You should acquaint yourself with it."
While Louise gave a slow nod and once more turned her pink eyes down to the beautifully glittering ball of magic, eldwin moved. He stalked his way over to Colbert, the man having been sitting on the side and watching on with utter fascination.
With a breath, Colbert told quietly, "I didn't expect Miss Valliere to achieve this her first time." Still entranced at what he was seeing, raw magic held before a mage.
"She always had magic, Professor Colbert." Told the man beside him ,getting his helmet and placing it on. "She knew what it felt like. I just helped her guide it out. I'm sure you could do the same thing, given a few hours of focus and drawing it out."
Nodding some, Colbert asked, "Is this normal training for Warlocks?"
Shaking his head, Eldwin told, "No. More like a simple exercise we do when delving into our studies." Leaving out the fact it was their Light they were studying the most, rather than the magic it drew in. "I should expect to see you tomorrow to oversee the same exercises done?"
"Yes." Jean Colbert nodded in near excitement. "I'll admit, this may open up new avenues of learning magic. Astonishing really, your method is… excotic to say the least."
Lowly laughing to that, Eldwin told, "We just had a different means to achieve varying results, Professor. Mistakes are often studied and looked into, and so are the bizarre and strange. My teaching was simple a mix of experiments, accidents or relaxation exercises all being blended together to form a unique way of achieving a result."
Turning away to watch Louise, Colbert admitted, "Still. Seeing real evidence besides her summoning to show for her magic? It's a great relief." Almost having a much more somber smile as he told, "There's a lost of expectations on her as a Valliere. I think nearly everyone has given up that she couldn't use magic."
"I find it difficult to see how she couldn't have magic." Told Eldwin in a hint of confusion. "Were the explosions not a good enough clue as it were?"
Shaking his head, the Teacher corrected, "It was the explosions that sowed the doubt. No mage had ever made explosions like Louise had. It was… unprecedented, to say the least."
"Than ignorance rather than rational thought." Mused the Warlock in thought.
Wincing at that, Colbert said, "Perhaps. But as you can see, we just were not sure how to handle such an odd situation." Then reflected while watching Louise gently begin to move that ball of wispy magic about. "But I think those concerns are going to leave me soon. With you here, Miss Valliere may stand a much better chance."
"Perhaps." Was all Eldwin commented.
The following few days followed the same examples of work as before. Having Louise take a seat, pull on her magic and focus it. Mold it. Move it. Feel it. Understand it. As all things went, it was a good start and a good amount of progress that was being made. Enough so that Eldwin was beginning to wonder when to start advancing the girl the next stage.
Louise hard drive, that was for sure. She had drive and will to push forwards. She had a goal, she had a new direction she could go, and she was pushing herself towards it. While it somewhat tired her out, stretched her willpower thin at times, Louise was going to get stronger, the Warlock realized. She would need room to grow.
And yet he hesitated. The Guardian sat under the dual moons, once more on the highest point he could reach of the towers provided and just looked up to them. Observing them. Thinking over what he could do. He knew that down below were all the students, teachers and commoner staff. Some still awake and working, entertaining themselves or all just sleeping.
The truth of the matter was, Eldwin didn't need sleep. It was partially why he didn't stay in Louise's room all the time. He simply couldn't sleep, his Light empowered body making him ever aware, ever watching and awake. He didn't tell her this. More so that it would just creep the girl out to know that he could watch her in her sleep.
And again, thoughts of having her ignite her light came up. There was so much potential to be exploited, she could become so much more stronger and able if he let her have Light flowing through her. But did he really want to curse her? Curse her with a deceiving blessing that was his immortality.
It was a difficult matter to work over. It was something he could easily share with this world, letting them harness their light- even if only a few could actually weaponize it like he could. Louise was one such person, able to wield it to that extent. Even that maid with a oddly high amount of strong light could wield it as a weapon if trained.
She was a puzzle he needed to figure out, in truth. Siesta the Maid, the young women that Ghost picked out so easily form the masses without notting anyone else. How was her potential so much more higher? She had to have been trained, it was the only explanation for Ghost to sense her strong light. The only reason.
Beside him, Ghost bleeped a few times, having stopped some passive scans to look at his Guardian and speak, "You look troubled." Even through the helmet, Ghost could easily feel the shift in his Guardian's being. "Is something the matter?"
"Light." Told Eldwin. "I'm just debating about the Light of Louise. The stronger Light of Siesta. And overall the consequences of if I had them ignited further. What would happen if they became just like me." Then lapsing off into thought.
Blinking some to this, Ghost thought it over and told, "You realized that wont happen, right?" Which caused the Guardian to cast a glance to Ghost, looking bemused. Or, as bemused as a visor-masked man could be. It was with realization Ghost spoke, "You really didn't know, did you?"
"And what would it be that I do not know, Ghost?" Asked the Guardian in interest.
"Well." Began Ghost almost awkwardly, "While they can use Light, and even weaponize it, I don't need to ignite it. And neither do you." Going on to explain, "Train them no doubt, but they won't be like you unless greater steps are taken. Most Guardians are dead upon their first revival, and we Ghost give a fraction of our Light of the Traveler to you." Then seemingly shook his head to explain, "This isn't the case with little Louise and Siesta. They have Light and can wield it. They can be trained to use it. Be more than human, that's a given. But not entirely immortal."
Eldwin stared at his Ghost for the longest of moments, time having very little meaning to him. Still, he asked, "And please, do tell, why have you never mentioned this to me before?"
With a blink, Ghost told, "You never asked."
Heaving a sigh, Eldwin told, "Perhaps not, but it would have been a useful thing to know before." Thinking it over in his mind carefully. "How far would the changes be, Ghost?" He asked to his partner. "You said they would not be Immortal like I am. Was there a reason so?"
"Actually, yes." Ghost told, "It's partially due to you being dead before. My resurrecting of your body supercharged your cells to the point that even the most basic of your needs became null. Louise and Siesta, due to being still alive and having light of their own, don't have that same level of charge. For all intents and purposes, unless their Light were to become powerful enough to affect more of their bodies, they won't possess that immortality like you will for some time." Then thought and told, "Siesta may be closer to it, given a few more years to train or understand her Light better."
Nodding, Eldwin realized that this changed everything. This met that immortality was not going to be some instant curse, and things like never needing to sleep was going to be left alone. They still had time to be themselves, or until they chose such a time to advance to a point where they might become more immortal than before. Or, at the very least, ever-living with the power of their Light.
That posed a curious thought in his mind though. "Ghost. While I know that there are very few here that can weaponize their light… can those with light still use it?"
Thinking some, Ghost told, "It is possible. But no where near the same extent as a Guardian." Then thought it over more and told, "It can extend the life of humans, it happened during the golden age. And even now in the Last City, people that can train their Light, while not in the same respect as Guardians, still live longer than before."
"Not immortality, but still a form of longevity." Nodded Eldwin thoughtfully.
