While studying the book that contains the initiation ritual in the library, Talia comes over to see how you’re doing.
“Still at it? I didn’t realize the ritual was that complex.” She says.
“It isn’t actually. From what I can tell it just requires a lot of focus and belief. I’m fairly certain I can handle that. I actually got sidetracked by some of these other tomes here.” You answer and point out a bunch of other books nearby.
“Heh, sort of funny to see you like this. I remember a time when you weren’t the most eager to perform any sort of magic mainly because you weren’t very good at it.”
“Trust me, it’s still not my favorite area, but I feel I have been growing in power and gotten better. So I figured I should learn some of the other major rituals and such.”
Talia nods as she looks through the books. Eventually she picks up a heavy black one and begins glancing through it.
“The ritual of ascension? What’s that?”
“Good question. I actually wasted quite a bit of time reading through that one, before starting on reading the stuff I was supposed to be reading about. Basically I don’t know what it does exactly. In fact some of it is in a language I don’t even recognize.”
“Yeah, I see that.”
“The rest of the wording I have read is almost deliberately cryptic. Terribly annoying and not very helpful. You’d think whoever wrote it down, would’ve made it a lot clearer. Well anyway, I’ll study it in length some other time. Right now I’m just going to go over the initiation ritual once more and then get some sleep.”
“Very well. I’ll see you then.” Talia says and kisses you before leaving.
After she leaves, you take another glance though the book containing the ritual of ascension. Still not understanding it any better, you toss it aside and return to more immediate studies.
Another day perhaps.
