Author's Note: Sorry the intermission chapters seemed kind of random at first it was only as I was finishing chapter eight that I managed to come up with some sort of plan for them.
I found a link to a site with a glossary and a formula for creating new Elven Forcecraft spells. However I have had to use a rather loose translation in some areas. For example I had to substitute birth circles for the word generations
P.S. I hope I don't offend anyone by the bible verse it just FELT very appropriate for what Beastboy is going through.
Sorry For the delay i was hospitalized for depression. Please check out my new story a Raven united. This one will be finished I am stuck on it.

Inside the mystic titans room lining the wall are bookcases filled to bursting with forgotten tomes of arcane knowledge lost to the ages. Carefully hidden amongst the tomes are a number of gothic romance novels. Adorning the walls are several masks, a few enchanted staves, as well as a number of statuary. Next to the bed mounted on a stand is a suit of leather armor, on a raised platform next to it is a sword rack containing a pair of katana's. The demonic titan's room is surprisingly well lit due to a few well placed illumination sphere suspended from the ceiling.
Due to her backside being bruised, welted, and blistered Raven is currently floating in mid-air as she pours over a tome of forgotten lore. 'Useless.' Raven thinks to her self sending the tome back to it's spot on the shelves. 'Let's see here.' Raven thinks are she examine the stacks of arcane tomes to her sides. 'Ahh this seems probable.' Raven thinks as she select a tome entitled The life of Verterous the Verdant. 'If that's the same Verterous I knew perhaps hidden in amongst the narrative I can find how he overcame his spring magic allergies.'
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK A knocking sounds at precisely six am.
"Come in Garfield." Raven states setting her current tome aside and banishing the others to her pocket dimension.
As he enters the mystic titans room Beastboy stops and notices the decor "WOW Raven your room isn't creepy anymore."
"Thanks." Raven says as she stands up and begins to float clad once again in her low-cut thong leotard, high heeled hip boots, and fingerless elbow gloves. "It's amazing what a little white paint and light orbs will do."
"So dude how come you wanted to meet me in your room?" Beastboy asks.
"We're going to start your magic lessons by custom crafting you a meditation mirror."
"Does this mean I'll need to start meditating? Speaking of which why don't you meditate anymore?"
"Remember I was meditating to keep my father at bay. Did you think I liked spending half of the day meditating?"
"OH YEAH!"
"Once we get it tuned to you you shouldn't need to meditate at all. This mirror will allow you to accomplish in a brief period what would normally takes years to accomplish."
"HUH?" Beastboy states confusion evident on his face.
"Think of it like a speed up cheat code." 'Thinks I can't believe those two have pounded that analogy into my head!'
"OH! Okay!"
Levitating over to a nearby table as her backside is to tender to even walk. Raven pulls off a cloth revealing a number of wood samples each the size of a pencil. "Now clear your mind -If there's anything to clear- and focus on your inner light then place your hand over these samples. If you have trouble focusing try thinking of something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy."
"Dude Rob... Nightwing sure did a number on your butt!"
"Focus Garfield."
"Sorry." Beastboy replies walking over to the table and closing his eyes. Slowing his breathing Beastboy focuses on his desire to protect the innocent people of jump city. This being the one thing him and the beast have in common. Raising his hand Beastboy moves his hand over the various woods Passing over the Mahogany, Walnut, Oak, Maple,
Cherry, Rosewood, Ebony, Teak, Pine, and Fir. However when his hand passes over the Redwood green sparks pass between the wood and his hand. "WHOA! That felt weird. Like burning cold and freezing hot at the same time."
"Interesting." Raven states
"How so?"
"It felt both hot and cold because your body isn't used to using magic."
"Huh?"
Sweat-dropping Raven thinks to herself 'If he couldn't understand that then this is way over due.' "You know that pins and needles feeling you get after your leg after it falls asleep?"
"Yes?"
"Well that hot and cold feeling is magic's pins and needles and just as I knew you would you felt the Redwood calling to you confirming my suspicions about your possessing magic."
"COOL DUDE!"
"Furthermore you selected Redwood which suggests like the towering trees this wood comes from you possess a great pillar of inner strength."
Raven grabs a flask of silver nitrate, and ammonia in distilled water and a flask of Rochelle salts in distilled water from her stores enchanted with a spell of preservation to prevent rotting. She then mixes the two in a third flask while whispering temperature control spells to form liquid silver. The necessary substance having been made Raven proceeds to telekinetically summon a piece of flawless oval shaped glass from atop her dresser and pours on the liquid silver. The first step done Raven set the glass down on her dresser and turns to Beastboy saying "Did you bring your gamestation portable?"
"Yes? Why did you want me to bring it?" Beastboy asks curiously.
"The next step is carving a holder to place the glass in." Raven says. "Please have a seat. This will take a while."
"Okay." Beastboy say sitting down on his friend bed and leaning against the Raven shaped head board. Switching on Mega Monkeys the Journey DX as Raven extends her fingernails into talons and begins carving the Redwood.

One hour later.
Having finished quickly due to the speed that comes with using your own fingers as carving tools Raven places the glass in the mirror and calls out to her green friend as she retracts her talons back into fingernails "It's almost done Garfield. I just need to enchant it."
His eye wide with glee Beastboy comments on the shape. "Cool it's a dragon's foot!'
"Yeah the wood just seemed to scream dragon when I started to carve it. Ilya lusta ambar uur kara-suule noa faina make this mirror a gateway to the mind." As the enchantment takes hold the mirror briefly glows silver. "Here you go Garfield." Raven states handing him his mirror.
"Cool I can't wait to explore my mind!" Beastboy states excitedly.
"Not so fast Beastboy." Raven states sitting down in mid-air and assuming the lotus position. "Now that your mirror's ready we need to tune it to your mind this will probably take a week at least."
"Will it let me go in my mind like you?"
"When it's done yes. Now I need you to assume the position Garfield." 'Wait that came out wrong.'
"Okay Raven." Beastboy states grinning mischievously. Turning around the green comedian bends over and grab his ankles. "Do I need to count them?"
"I guess I asked for that one." Raven deadpans. "Now seriously Garfield if you decide to continue meditating you should find a pose that suits you for now just sit down on my bed and copy my pose."
"Okay." Beastboy says sitting on Raven's bed placing the soles of his feet together and comfortably resting his knees flat on the bed his flexibility due to years of training as a titan. Now in the proper position the shape-shifting titan places his hand on his knees palms up, thumb and forefinger touching and fingers pointing toward each other.
"Of the many forms of meditation practiced in azarath I think you would benefit the most from scriptural. Oh and you should hold this in your lap." Raven says levitating Beastboy's mirror onto his lap.
Having had an uncharacteristic burst of insight Beastboy blurts out "Is that where I meditate on the bible?"
"Yes! That's it Beastboy. This proves that there's more to you than you think."
"Thanks Rae...ven."
"Now in Azarian scriptural meditation you simply pick a passage of your religion's holy book in your case the bible and explore in depth what it means to you. This form of meditation not only focuses the mind by encouraging active contemplation of a complex subject it encourages a connection with who you are at your most primal. This brings the civilized mind into alignment with your primal self a necessary step in finding your source of power. Since your problem is your instincts running rampant I would suggest a verse on inner peace Psalm chapter twenty nine verse eleven for example."
"The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace." Beastboy responds automatically. "Surprised Raven I'm actually very devote."
"No not really. Now let's begin." Raven says closing her eyes and begins to recite her mantra.
Following her example Beastboy closes his eyes and begins his contemplations.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
One hour later
Opening her eyes Raven lowers her self from her midair pose and walks over to her green comrade wincing with every step. Tapping Beastboy on the shoulder as she says "Beastboy that's enough for one day."
Standing up Beastboy stretches and yawns comically "Weeell Raaaven I feel less distraaaacted but that's normal for breakfast tiiiime."
"That's okay I didn't expect you to make a breakthrough for at least a week. Without the aid of a mirror any progress will take years to make progress that's one of the reason's why many spend a lifetime seeking the sense of inner peace we are born with. A peace we lose as we go through this life."
"Is there anything else or can we go get breakfast now?"
"Not today Garfield." Raven says as she floats towards the door pressing the door open button with a telekinetic pulse.

The common room
Dick Grayson now in his Nightwing garb is sitting at the table scanning the metro section newspaper for any thing that might tempt a super villan. Cyborg is once again munching away on a Dagwood sandwich. In an attempt to better understand earth culture Starfire is busy reading the comics.
"Boyfriend Rob... Nightwing I am the curious where is friend Raven she is usually doing the meditating or reading at dawn."
"Well star she's probably..." At this point the common doors open admitting Beastboy and Raven enter the room discussing the effects of meditation. "If I understand you right this will not only help me learn to quite my instincts it will help me learn to be one with my primal side. Does that mean I could learn to control the beast?"
"Perhaps. Maybe even merging with the beast. It's to soon to say either way."
"WHAT THE FUCK!" Cyborg says his jaw dropping along with the others.
"Please friends why is friend Beastboy being the awake before the noon?"
"Good question Star." Nightwing replies confused. "The last time I woke him up this early I had to go get a bucket of water."
"Man who are you and what have you done with Beastboy?" Cyborg asks with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Not funny bolt brain!" Beastboy replies. As he begins to rummage in the fridge for some leftover tofu salad. "Raven asked me to get up at six today."
"You got up at SIX!" Cyborg replies. "I've never seen you up that early without staying up all night."
"I did it all the time in the doom patrol. However I wasn't so tired back then. I think it's all my animals messing with me. Beside I was up at five getting ready. I wanted to get started on my magic lessons!" Beastboy says pouring himself a glass of soymilk.
"Oh that reminds me Raven I really feel more alert than I should from the lack of sleep."
"That's surprising." Raven states raising an eyebrow. "I didn't think you'd start to see any effects until your mirror was tuned to you. You also seem more eloquent today Beastboy."
"Yeah I feel a little smarter as well."
"It seems to be as Nightwing and I thought. Your problem with intelligence is at least in part because the animal kingdom Rarely uses anything but instinct." Raven says as she places a pot of water on the stove to boil for her tea. "Anyway Garfield as you bring your civilized and primal selves into alignment you should be able to think without interference. From there when you have a guide it's relatively easy to learn to tap into dormant power."
"Hey Raven could you go back to your story I'm kinda of eager to learn what happens next."
"So Am I little sis."
"I think we all are the eager to learn what happened to snow after her defeat friend Raven."
"Very well then." Raven says sitting down in mid-air. "When I last left off Snow had just been defeated after outing herself in a fit of rage."

Inside an abandoned mine.
Inside a long forgotten mine shaft the stale air reeking of mildew. The walls barely held up by rotting timbers. In the background the sounds of dripping water and the squealing of rats can be heard. Found strewn about the ground are a number of pickaxes, a few of the metal helmets typically used by miners, a few bones scattered here and there no doubt the victims of accidents. All the traditional signs of a failed mining enterprise.
Suddenly the rats cease their squealing and disappear into the cracks in the wall. The source of their fear becomes readily apparent as a silver dot the size of a pea appears on the wall. Said dot quickly expands in size to that of a grape. The portal quickly becomes apple sized then surges to that of a water melon before blossoming into a circle wide enough for a person carrying another bridal style. In steps our heroine still in her angelic guise. In our hero's arms is the dormant former crown princess of euphoria. The fallen mage still bears the wounds and tattered clothes gained during her brief fight with the royal guard and the disguised heroine. As the portal closes behind her our disguised promptly surveys the area.
'Let's see first we'll need a sturdy area for the platform so first I need to get rid of this mud.' Her course of action set our hero waves her hand causing the various bits of debris from the failed mining enterprise to rise from the mud and stack itself neatly in a far corner of the mine shaft. The area now clear of debris our heroine part her luscious lips and begins to chant "Ilya lusta ambar uur kara-suule noa faina dry this mud." in response to her incantation all the mud in the area dries out becoming dirt.
'Next we need a pedestal for the coffin. Out of respect for her human self I think I'll go all out with this.' "Ilya mart-onta." The incantation uttered a section of air seven hands longer than the dormant ex-princess, five hands wider, and approximately waist high begins to waver slowly at first then faster and faster, glowing whiter and whiter before fading to reveal a white marble pedestal as large as the wavering air.
"Aire er ontane kaima." Our heroine chants causing a silk mattress to appear on the pedestal before laying the one time princess of euphoria down to rest.
'Snow had such promise and now this creature evicts her from her own body sending her soul flying in two separate directions. For Snow's sake I think I'll close the wounds her father's guards gave her and redress her.' "Ambar aire anar nulla urwa wilma kelva tulka." Our heroine intonates causing the princess' wounds to heal leaving nary a scar behind. 'I really should do her clothes as well. Should her soul find it's way back to her body on it's own she shouldn't have to go to town in tatters.' "Almaarea er assa lanne wanya." with this incantation the former princess' clothes mend themselves. "Ilya kelva poika amba ilya saura lanne." The various blood stains now disappear from her attire leaving her clothes looking freshly laundered.
'Now that I think of it if she looks to peaceful people might set the vampire free before the human is saved.' Our heroine then poses snow with her arms crossed over her chest, closes her mouth in a smile making sure her fangs poke out over her lower lip, and as an afterthought telekinetically summons a rat slices off it's head and dribbles some blood on snow's lips, parts her own luscious lips and utters the phrase "Ankalima er nosta pinilya maika telempe tulwe." At this a silver stake appears in her hand. Raising the stake high in the air our heroine plunges the stake through the vampire's heart. Since the vampire is currently dormant no blood spurts out from around the stake piercing her heart.
'Now to for coffin itself.' "Er ainatar almaarea zakarrum tuupa karka serke sukle halda firya o liquis ondo panda" in response to the utterrence of this incantation a layer of diamond appears on the pedestal and grows up to a height of two paces before curving to form a semi-circular top like what is commonly found on a treasure chest.
'Now for a spell of protection against shadows.' "Ne almaarea tanya aina zakarrum varya sina sambe e mordole randa randa nosta rinde." 'There ten thousand generations ought to be enough time for me to find and restore her soul.'
Shifting back to her guise as the wandering heroine Zelda Flame-Fist she begins to leave her task complete before stopping as a thought occurs to her 'Damnation! It never occurred to me that people will wonder where I was when snow was being apprehended! Perhaps I'd better show up seemingly drunk. If I'm going to seem properly drunk I'd better drink a couple of bottles of my best dwarven mead. To bad I can't my demon body makes it almost impossible to get drunk.' Our heroine swiftly pulls out six bottles of dwarven rum and downs them all rapid fire making sure to spill some of herself. She then opens a portal to the throne room deliberately making the other end appear in mid-air so as to land on her but. She then proceeds to deliberately stagger towards the portal reminding herself to slur her words when talking to the king.

Inside an active mine.
Unbeknownst to our heroine just scant inches on the other side of one wall of snow's tomb is the track for a mining cart. Said track spans several chasms. Branching off at regular intervals are a number of foot paths. Down the last path crossing over several brides over a number of deep chasms we find the sole survivors of the dwemer race. Standing in front of a forge that looks ten thousand years ahead of it's time is Happy cheerfully singing "HI HO! HI HO! it's off to work we go!" as he melts a bar of mythril and pours it into a mold before cooling it with a wave of his hand. The metal now cool happy adds another cog to the pile of part beside him.
"Here's the latest parts Sneezy." Walking up to him and piling the parts into a nearby wagon is said dwemer who incidentally got his nickname of Sneezy due to his possessing a severe case of hayfever.
"What did doc say these parts where for again? I couldn't hear him over my sneezing." Sneezy asks.
"They're for doc's latest theory about the vanishing of our people." Happy replies. "He thinks that they my have been merely sent underhill and the gates sealed. This machine will let scan underhill for them and if that's the case we can merely create a new gate."
"What if he's wrong. Well then doc says after studying the way our people vanished it seemed to be a spell targeting the dwemer with the best minds."
"I can see why dopey stayed after all even by human standards he's rather dumb." Happy blurts out. "But why us."
"As for the seven of us I think it has something to due with the fact that we alone converted to the ways of the human's church of zakarrum. Futhermore Doc says that even if the dwemer do die with us some of us have mated humans and eventually that blood will sleep within humans. But as such things tend to do eventually it will gain strength and humans will find their minds possessing a level of intelligence worthy of our people. Who knows they might even find their magic again."
"AHHH!" Sneezy exclaims with a loud KERCHOOOOO. "And what better legacy can we leave behind than that!"
"Indeed. Now take these parts to Doc we've tarried long enough as it is."
"Hello Grumpy." Sneezy states as he passes him by on his way to Doc.
"I hate mining." Says Grumpy who got his nickname from his sour attitude a result of seeing his wife and children vanish in puffs of purple smoke. "Here you go more of this useless rock." Grumpy states grumpily dumping his load of mined rock beside Happy.
As he continues on his way to Doc Sneezy passes by Sleepy who is of course sleeping. Seeing his friend propped on his pickaxe sleeping on the job again Sneezy places his mouth next to his buddies ear and shout "WAKE UP YOU LAZY BUM!" now wide awake Sleepy promptly falls over before standing up and hurriedly resuming his task.
Passing by his mentally challenged brother Sneezy states doing his best to mimic Happy "Great Job! Keep it up." 'Why was one of our people cursed with a mind inferior to that of a human?'
"Thanks Doc! But I'm Sneezy!" Dopey says to stupid to keep anyone's name is his head for more than ten seconds before returning to his mining the only task the others trust him with due to his mental deficiency. Walking along a few paces Sneezy encounters his cousin Bashful. "Still keeping an eye on him for me?" "Of course." Now having reached his destination Sneezy begins unloading the lasest shipment of gears saying "I hope your theory proves correct Doc."

The common room
Having paused in her narration Raven says "In order for what's coming to make sense I think I should explain a little bit about the dwemer."
"Dude don't you mean the dwarves?" Beastboy states confusedly.
"No I mean the dwemer. The dwarves were a short of the dwemer." Raven elaborates. "While humans think an IQ of 155 makes someone highly gifted the dwemer would disagree. To them that would be severely mentally deficient."
"They were that intelligent." Nightwing states curiously.
"Definitely. Furthermore the only modern day human smart enough to compete with the dwemer would be Bruce Wayne, Possibly you Cy."
"Thanks sis." Cyborg states proudly.
"Anyway they would definitely respect superman for Kryptonian tech is one of only two technologies to have surpassed them. Even the like of Leonardo DaVinci, and sir Isaac Newton would have been considered borderline mentally deficient and they had IQ's of 190."
"As for you Garfield the dwemer would be flabbergasted to learn the smartest of humans with powers like your hadn't succumbed to his animal instincts long ago."
"Thank Rae. I think." Beastboy replies.
"That was a compliment." Raven states. "The point of all this was to illustrate that even by human standards where an IQ of 115 is above average Dopey would still be considered dumb I estimate he would have tested out at about 55. Now back to the story."

Back in the dwemer mine
Bashful is busy swinging his pickaxe against the wall trying to liberate a bit of silver from the wall. Each time the pickaxe strikes the wall a new cloud of dust billows up into the air.
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Inside Vampire Snow White's tomb.
Amidst the detritus of a failed mining venture, the sagging timbers, rats scurrying about we find the dormant vampire Snow White still resting peacefully. A sudden sound of metal on rock sends the rats scattering as the point of a miner pickaxe comes through the wall.
After a few moments work the hole is large enough for a single person to pass through. "Oh my!" Bashful exclaims his eyes immediately noticing the blood on snow's lips as well as the fangs protruding from her mouth. 'Oh Crap! A vampire's tomb. I'd better go get Doc. He'll know what to do about this.' His mind made up Bashful runs to get doc forgetting about his mentally challenged cousin.
Having heard the commotion Dopey comes running into the room his gaze slowly takes in the room eventually spotting the girl in a coffin. 'Hey girl in coffin. I better get her out and pull silver out her chest. Then I be a hero. Maybe I get kiss from girl!' Dopey raises his pickaxe brings it down on the coffin shattering it.
The other six dwemer running having heard the commotion caused by bashful's discovery of the tomb just in time to see Dopey's pickaxe shatter the diamond coffin sending fragments flying in all direction cutting dopey as they fly away. 'This is Bad!.' Doc thinks to himself. 'That's the crown princess of Euphoria. But how on nirn did she enter a demon's slumber.' Having realized the danger such a vampire posses Doc runs to stop Dopey shouting "DOPEY NOOOO!"
Unfortunately his warning falls on deaf ears as all that dopey tiny mind can hold at the moment is thought of kissing a girl. Reaching out Dopey grabs a hold of the silver stake and give it a good yank. Dropping his pickaxe as he does. As the unfortunate dwemer's pickaxe fall to the floor it happens to come into contact with the spell of protection shattering it. The resultant backlash stuns the other dwemer preventing Doc from stopping his mentally challenged friend. As the stake is yanked out a drop of blood from a diamond shard induced cut flies from Dopey's finger landing in snow's mouth.
Dwemer blood being the most magical of all the elven races does what no amount of rat blood could ever do. With the magic of an elf now jolting her awake Snow's eye open. Smelling the bleeding dwemer snow grabs him and sinks her teeth into his neck. As she feels his heart begin to slow then falter snow thinks to herself 'Crap I'd better let him live in my weakened state I could use a thrall or seven.' Snow let's Dopey fall to the floor knowing because she stopped before his heart ceased it's beating he's now her thrall. She then rushes over to sneezy and sinking her fangs into his throat.
As she finishes with the first six Snow's feet begin to feel light and strong. Realizing all the magic of dwemer has temporarily restored her fleet feet Snow rushes Doc who has just hurled a lightning bolt at the vampire. Using her speed Snow doges to one side just as the bolt launches itself. Colliding with the Dwemer battlemage/smith snow lands on his chest placing her on on his wrists pinning him to the floor as she leans her head down and sinks her fangs into his neck. 'YES! not only have I got the last seven of the dwemer I GOT ME A BATTLE MAGE!' Snow thinks to her self.
'I hope waking then doesn't cost me all of my power. I really need to find a steady source of power now that that angel snuffed out my core.' "Wake up!" Snow commands healing her minions wounds.
"What is your wish my mistress." Doc replies.
"Pick up the pieces of my coffin they could prove useful." Snow commands.
"Right O!" Dopey says his eyes alert and wary. "I'll go and get the cart."
"Pardon me for speaking out of turn my lady but how did you give my brother a mind?" Sneezy asks.
"I won't have a minion so dimwitted even the thick headed humans would call him dumb. I was going to kill him but them I glimpsed a memory of him being dropped on his head as a baby. After that it was just a simple matter of regeneration magics." Snow states. 'Now I'm glad my human self's father made me read the copy of Cross Species Anatomy and the Regenerative Arts.'
At this point Dopey returns with an empty minecart in which the dwemer begin piling the diamond shards. "Did you want the pedestal as well my lady?" Dopey asks.
"Yes of course. It could prove useful." Snow Responds at which Doc uses a levitation spell causing the white marble pedestal to place itself in the mine cart.
'I can't just stay here in my weakened state even a simple human farmer could slay me.' "I command you to take me to a place of safety."
"As you command my mistress." Doc replies. "Our cabin should be safe enough it's still protected by our mechanics."
"That will due for now."
Happy, Grumpy, and Bashful being the strongest of the remaining dwemer walk behind the cart and begin pushing it along the track to the mine entrance. As they near the entrance snow begins to feel warm and light headed. 'I hope I'm wrong about this.' Snow thinks. "STOP!" snow commands halting the group before the edge of the sunlight shining in from the outside. 'My status as a day walker is quite rare. I hope I'm wrong about this.' Snow cautiously sticks her hand into the sun where it promptly burst into flames. "SHIT!" Snow exclaims drawing her hand back. Snow places her unhurt hand on her neck and begins to feel for a pulse only to find none. "I guess I shouldn't have evicted my human soul after all. It seems to have been the source of my ability to eat like a human, walk about in the sun, and not depend on blood for magic."
Doc promptly pours the contents of his water canteen onto his mistress' hand quenching the flames. "I have something back in our cabin that MIGHT POSSIBLY help with the burn. At least until you can feed again." Having gotten a nod from his vampire mistress Doc rub a generous amount of ointment onto Snow's hand before wrapping it in bandages.
"Doc I want you to take me to a place in this mine where the sun can not reach and guard me. The rest of you get back to mining. I need this mountain's metal smelted down into bars for later use. As for jewels they'll go to building my kingdom."
"You heard her! Go back to mining. I shall take you to my laboratory." Doc says.

Doc's office six hours later
"I need to check your bandage my lady. I have no idea how effective my ointment is on a vampire." Doc states.
Holding out her bandaged hand Snow states. "If you must."
Carefully unwrapping the bandage Doc inspects his mistress' hand. "It appears to be working but only as swiftly as human."
Her brow furrowed in thought Snow state "Since my heart no longer beats I must assume that I am bound to the restrictions of the newly turned. Plus I hunger."
"Shall I fetch you dinner my lady?" Doc asks
'HMMM. Let's see on the one hand I know Doc is strong both in might and magic. On the other hand I have fed from him recently so he's probably still weak. I guess I'd better have dinner brought to me.' "Do so quickly." As Doc turn to program one of his constructs with the task Snow stops him saying. "While I might be as weak as one of the newly turned I refuse to remain so. Fetch me a mage. While they taste funny they make for the most filling of meals."
"Very well." Doc says "A sphere master should be strong and adaptable enough to bring you a mage intact."

Nightwing and cy both say at same time how do you know some of this (They say like the dwemer bit)
Raven summon her jewelled mirror and says I discovered by accident if I state show me in terms as clear as crystal Sithis here is bound by the curse to show what I wish to see without clouding it in riddles.
Have an alert go off it's slade! nightwing goes all obsessive. Elaborate a bit
