| → Go to Evelyn |
| YOU: Take this wand, it proves my commitment to the Dark Way. |
| -Evelyn eyelashes flutter as her eyes close and open again, slowly. Her hip wiggles slightly while she reaches you, taking the wand.- |
| Evelyn: I am Evelyn, and you, YOU… |
| -Evelyn stops talking, and stares in your eyes, her mouth faintly open.- |
| Evelyn: You are a Master in the Dark Way Circle, and my new pupil. |
| -Evelyn fingers flow on your wand, like an idle caress. Then she closes the hand, her black lacquered nails on the wand.- |
| Evelyn: Your skills, your power, pleases me. |
| Evelyn: Is your wish to please me? |
| YOU: Yes, my wish is to please you. |
| Evelyn: What a delightful answer. |
| -Evelyn puts your wand in a pouch, then she languidly raises the hands, showing her wrist.- |
| Evelyn: Now, tell me. |
| Evelyn: Which is the most powerful amongst the Ways? |
| YOU: Dark Way. |
| -Evelyn laughs, her white and sharp teeth appear behind her lips.- |
| Evelyn: It could be a pleasure to understand if you really believe in your answer. |
| Evelyn: But, for now, I would be pleased if you show me your bracers. |
| YOU: Here are my bracers, Archmistress. |
| -Evelyn takes the bracers, one for every hand.- |
| Evelyn: The Dark Way is powerful, but so are the other Ways. |
| Evelyn: Items like yours are owned by Adepts of each of the Circles. |
| Evelyn: Remember it, you will need this knowledge. |
| Evelyn: You know which of other Ways support our own. |
| Evelyn: Meet members of these Ways, speak with them and gain their trust. |
| Evelyn: You will need it for the coming tests. |
| -Evelyn leans forward, slowly.- |
| Evelyn: There's also a Way who opposes ours. |
| Evelyn: But, for now, go to Levrus and buy all the glyphs he sells. |
| Evelyn: On your return give me the glyphs of the Ways that support us. |
| YOU: These two are the glyphs of the Ways supporting us. |
| -Evelyn nods, examining the glyphs. Then she gives them back.- |
| Evelyn: Combined spells are the most powerful. |
| Evelyn: The Dark Way is seductive, and elegant, but, like every magic, can be improved when used together with other Ways. |
| -Evelyn smiles, tilting her head.- |
| Evelyn: You can use supporting Ways, neutral, and opposing too. |
| Evelyn: Azure and Blue Ways are neutral to Dark, and many times Dark Way glyphs are used to temper some of their combines. |
| Evelyn: The opposite of Dark is the Crystal Way. |
| Evelyn: Give me the Crystal Way glyph you bought from Levrus. |
| YOU: Do you mean Arrow, Archmistress? |
| -Evelyn looks at the glyph. She doesn't take it and pushes back your hands.- |
| Evelyn: Keep it. |
| Evelyn: Crystal and Dark Way can be combined, but it is dangerous. |
| Evelyn: These two Ways may collide, even cause death to the unwise magician who tries to use both. |
| Evelyn: You are allowed to learn the supporting ways, within a realm or so from the Dark Way. |
| Evelyn: But, if you decide to be trained in Crystal Way, pay special attention. |
| Evelyn: If you train too high in Crystal Way you may be banned from the Dark Way. |
| -Evelyn's pupils grow wider and wider, looking into your eyes.- |
| Evelyn: There is no epitaph for the foolish mage who challenged the gods, combining all magics. |
| Evelyn: His grave is a tall hill, with a crater, the last remembrance left of his madness. |
| Evelyn: Do not ask further questions about this, for now. |
| Evelyn: Instead let's talk about spells. |
| Evelyn: Combine your Daemon and Arrow Glyphs, and then tell me the name of the result. |
| YOU: daemon arrows |
| Evelyn: Good work. |
| Evelyn: You learned one of the rare exceptions to the rule of opposing ways. |
| Evelyn: If you search you will discover others of them. |
| Evelyn: Life and death could merge… |
| -Evelyn's tongue sweeps across her lips as she slowly closes her eyes.- |
| Evelyn: … |
| Evelyn: becoming so gorgeous sometime. |
| -Evelyn digs a hand in a pouch, and takes out a wand.- |
| Evelyn: Take you bracers, as well as your new Master's wand. |
| Evelyn: This new wand will be your proof, show me it when you will be ready for the next lessons. |
| Evelyn: And, to emphasize my pleasure, I want to offer you a personal gift. |
| -Evelyn gives you a glyph. Her fingers touch your hand for some seconds, warmer than normal.- |
| Evelyn: Continue to train with me, until you become ready for the next test. |
| Evelyn: We can learn so much, from each other. |
