-Chapter Eight-
"You want to
help me? Why? What's in it for you?" Raven asked Rorek, still
not trusting him entirely.
"Me? Nothing. I merely desire to
help. I don't want to see such a beautiful maiden suffer for
eternity knowing that I could have helped her in some way."
That
earned Raven's trust. She finally relaxed and held a book close.
"Can
you teach me what I need to know? Will it really...bring me
back?"
"If you trust me and if you are willing to learn,
it will." Rorek replied, holding his hand out to Raven. She took
it and for one brief moment, she felt like she could trust the fate
of the whole world to this wizard. the moment didn't last long
however, because she remembered what happened the last time.
Raven
accepted and trained under Rorek's guidance for the next three days.
Her cloak turned a darker blue but she did not mind. Finally, she was
done with her training.
"Will it work?" she asked the
wizard.
"Only if you trust yourself."
