"You must be Miriamele. I trained your mother, you resemble her strongly," began Magda, then she looked to Calisto, "And where is Wintrin?"
"He stayed back to stop one of his followers from stopping us. The rest of Miriamele's friends are with him," answered Calisto.
"Then these must also be your friends," she said looking towards Ryo, Sage, Yulie, WhiteBlaze, and Aurora.
"Yes they are, and please call me Mia."
"If you wish for me to call you Mia then I shall do so. But first, please, tell me what your friends are called."
"Of course, they are Ryo, Sage, Yulie, WhiteBlaze, and Aurora."
Magda looked closely at WhiteBlaze for a moment then wispered to him, "So Great One, we meet again."
At that moment three sharp knocks sounded on the door. Magda hurried to the entrance and soon led Wintrin, Rowen, Kento, Cye, Dais, Kale, Kayura, and Sehkmet into her remarkable home.
"How the..." began Kento as he began to step back out of the house to verify what he had seen.
"Yes, the inside is bigger than the outside. There is no time to waste on that explaination. Mia follow me, it is time to begin your training. Wintrin, I would have your assistance."
A lone figure sits on a large stone overlooking the city of Celine. He was half elfin with short blonde hair and gray eyes. He was wearing a green shirt and tan pants underneath a brown tunic. Slowly he pulled a panflute from his tunic. He lifted the pipes to his lips and began to play a soft and mournful melody. His name was Laith.
"Magda, why do you need my assistance?" asked Wintrin, "My power is of Ice while that of the Faramiir's is Fire."
"True, her mother was a Fire Sorceress. But her father was an Erian." At that Wintrin looked completely surprised.
"Who?" he asked, his voice showed his confusion.
"Gwaine Erian. I thought you would have known. He was a very powerful Ice Mage."
"I know, I understand now why you need my assistance."
"Good," and with that she turned to Mia, "Now then, first you need to find your power. If you don't learn to summon it at will then you can never hope to contain it. And if you are wondering why you have not ever felt it before, the answer to that is simple, unlike mages, the power only begins to show in sorcerers by the time they become eighteen, however they tend to be more powerful."
"How do I find it?"
"It is different for everyone who possess such power. However it might proove more difficult for you. You see, you source is split between fire and ice. That is why he wants you as his slave or destroyed, and he doesn't care which either. You see it is possible that you could combine the two forces without them cancelling each other, but instead creating a far more powerful force know only to the Ages of Legend. Now I would like for you to try to find your power."
"Alright, I'll try," responded Mia as she closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Several minutes later she reopened her eyes, it was an unsuccessful attempt.
"Try searching with your emotions and keep you mind clear, like a mirror," suggested Wintrin.
"Yes that would help, but you should also try to focus on your source. Fire would probably be the easier on to find. Nynaeve (AN Pronounced NIGH-neev), your mother, first called upon her power by imagining a wall of flame," agreed Magda.
"I'll try that," said Mia as she closed her eyes to try again. This time the result was a dim red glow that surounded her, and when she opened her eyes they were completely red. Soon however the power faded and her appearence reverted to normal.
"That... was amazing," she gasped.
"Yes, the experience is exhilarating. Especially the first time," said Wintrin.
"You did very well Mia. Now we will teach you how to control that power, then you must find the other half of your source," said Magda.
"So, exactly what are we up against?" asked Sage.
"An old evil to this world. I doubt he even knew of the existance of your powers until today," began Calisto, "He has four Mages that serve directly under him, Logan Mage of Air, Shirl Mage of Earth, Carolyn Mage of Thunder, and Eldentine Mage of Fire. Each one bear a gemstone amulet that increases there powers tenfold. We do not truly understand the full extent of his power, but it was enough to murder all but Miriamele of the Faramiir line. Queen Nynaeve was on of the most powerful sorceress there was and she was barely able to hold him back long enough for her maid servent to escape with her infant daughter."
"Logan seemed powerful, but he left pretty fast when Rowen shot that arrow in his hand," said Kento.
"An arrow? That shouldn't have been able to strike him, not with his power over wind. Believe me, I know," she said as she glanced at her quiver.
"My armor is the Strata, It's power source is air," explained Rowen.
"I see, and I believe you said you had fire earlier," she said looking to Ryo who nodded in response, "What of the others?"
"I bear the armor of Torrent and through it I am allowed to weild the powers of water," answered Cye.
"The armor that chose me is the Halo and its power comes from spirit and light," answered Sage.
"Mine armor is Hardrock and I fight with the power of Earth at my side," said Kento.
"My armor is the armor of Darkness, it is also of Winter and the Jackel," said Kale.
"Mine is of Deception and ofSummer and the Tarantula," said Dais.
"I bear the armor of Venom, Autumn, and the Cobra." said Sehkmet.
"And I have the armor of Cruelty, Spring, and the Ogre. I am also the last of the Ancients Clan and I can weild the Swords of Starlight."
