«Let get to work» says Azure, feeling confident and happy thar wild magic, if it truly exist in this case, have a good side, not only dealing with bad luck. «Stay here. I got my eyes used to see in the darker area. I will bring you my finds. I will not come too close to the hole and the light, to keep my eyes used to the dark. Keep an eye on the hole above» says Zircon smiling, hapy to see he was useful. «Good plan, Zircon! If you see an exit from here, tell me please. It could be useful if we need to get out. Trevin the magnificient may already be in town.» says Azure, hoping for the best, expecting the worst. «Will he be able to get out of the stones you put around him and on the granite stone?» ask Zircon, his voice a bit far. He spoke loud to be heard. «I should had guess that the flat stone was granite. I did not examined it more carefully» says Azure, ashamed not being careful enough to detect var»ious rocks. «In the past, we had been reknowned for our granite. The town was founded on the granite industry» says Zircon, happy to show that he knew a thing or two. «Well, it is nice you got history lesson on your hometown. Well, it is nice to know why I sense that the undergtround is rich in minerals» says Azure, getting in touch with the battered soil of the basement. «Most magician are not used to exhibit their magic near big minerals deposit. I sense various minerals deposit still here. Some can be turned to gems and other can turn to metals.» «If I understand well, it is not a good place for magician? If there is metal deposit here, would it interfere with your magic?» ask Zircon, picking all the weapons he could. He also found some diging tools. «You are correct. Magician are not into a good relationship with metal and what compose various metal. For myself, I work with mineral and chemistry composition to makes my gems. I takes the minerals and assemble them in the right way for the gems or stone I want to have, Here, the only thing that I was careful about was not touching the metal and it's composion» says Azure, «I can work with gems but not with metal. If I use my magic near metal, it fizzle to, as with any magician.» «Here, I found weapons again and a few digging tools» says Zircon, his voice a bit closer. Azure could see his shadowy body. «I sense there is something that goes behind a wall. I do not know if it is a coupola or an exit, or a passage to another room. There is some granite in the ground that is hard to see through» says Azure «Where is it. I could go find it and see if I can see if there is a room or the exterior.» says Zircon, starting to wonder why he acted this way. He felt more mature and thinking was easier. He was statting to feel disgusted of fooling around like a teenager anymore. It was scary and different all at the same time. His world view is expanding. «It is at my right. There is walls on each side of the opening. There is a corner with the other wall that is totally at my right that goes to the wall behind me» says Azure, trying to get the most precise as possbile. She had not noticed the change in Zircon yet. Azure is very absorbed by what she is sensing into the ground. It did not really used much of her magic. It was more a scan, taking a quick picture of the ground. Magic was more feeding her sixth sense, like a light touch. «I have found it! You are right, there is a hole in the wall. It is not a coupola, not with I can see. I do not sense any walls after the hole, so, no coupola, no corridor. Must be a room» says Zircon, as he was touching the hole and taking a step to touch more in front of him. He can not see anything at this place. It was darker here. «Great. We will explore it a little bit later. We have to find a way to make light. A piece of wood will be good to do a tourch. We have to find a way to ignite a fire. I also want to examine the tools and weapons more carefully. I want to use a non magical bow and non magical arrows. I don't see any quiver» says Azure, leaving her underground exploration and getting closer to the tools and weapons. «I know how to make a fire. We may start with some plank of wood and a small fire. It will be safer to start that way.» says Zircon, coming back to the center of the room, where the hole and Azure was. »We will makes torches later on, when we wil need to exit this place. I want to have a fire for the night and for the light.» Azure look at Zircon. His face look like as if he had grown up and not taking the first thing that goes to his mind. «I think that the armor is influencing you in some way. It lead you to take better decision. How strange it can be. I never saw a magical armor do that. I think the academy will what to keep it once it had been removed from you. The teachers will want to study the armor.» «Will I stay in this way if the armor is removed? I do not know if I will be able to return to my normal self after this adventure» says Zircon, not sure how to feel about this change in him and also that Azure have seen him in his change. Azure was kind to him, explaining what he does not understand and trying to prevent him not to takes bad decision. «I do not know, Zircon. I am sorry. I would like to know but I do not have a lot of knowledge on wild magic or magical armor. I wish I was more advanced in that area but I am not says Azure, feeling sorry for Zircon and his situation. Nothing can be garanteed and Azure does not want to make promises she could not hold on. Is there a spell that can be put on me, if I return to my normal state after the armor is removed? Ask Zircon, hopeful. I can ask a teacher or the academy's director. Maybe they know. Maybe they can create a spell for you. At the same time, if you had a spell put on you, you will not be able to stay here, in te magical exlusion zone. You will have to move elsewhere outside of here says Azure, sad and melancholic. If I move, is there are town like this one on the rest of the planet. One town that have exposed granite or other rocks on the surface, with a beach, with forest and maybe mountains too ask Zircon, feeling the need to be in a place that remind him of this place. Yes, there is towns like this one. My home towm have all that you have mentioned. There is a beach, even two. But those beach faces a lake, not a estuary like here. There are mountains all around. The twon is in a valley. There are trees. There is also big exposed rocks around and some in the town. There is also some vestige of houses, like one place had a chimney, other places have stone walls and stone floor and some part that makes think of room division. New Delphi is not far away of my home town and it is very similar to this town but a bit bigger says Azure, enthousiast by her description. Thank you. I guess I can get used to be in another place says Zircon, hopeful for the future, even if it can be outside of this town and outside of the magical exclusion zone. I know that getting out of your home town can be a scary perspective. I lived that when I made the jump from my home town to New Delphi. I ended up seen the difference and the similarity of both places says Azure with a smile. Now, have you seen a quiver with arrows? If not, we will have to make the arrows from scratches. I think there is a quiver with some arrow. It is under the rest. It was one of the first thing I found with the bow. Great! I can also they are not magical, as the bow that I had selected. There is not much arrows I just want to make one arrow or two with my obsidian. It can be handy with Trrevin the magnificent around. I hope I will be able to keep them for later on, as a keepsake says Azure. I can makes them for you. I also have seens some shaft to make arrows. You can give me the arrow's heads, your obsidian says Zircon, happy to have some practical knowledge. It seems to come to his mind naturally. Here my obisdian, says Azure, getting her obsidan out of another arm pouch, opposite of the pouch containing the communication quartz. Zircon return fetching the shafts he had seen in the opposite corner of the opening in the wall. Oh! I see Your obsidian is already shaped like an arrow head! It will be quicker to make the arrows you want. I will be able to use all the obsidian pieces you have. We have the time to do all of them? Ask Azure, not sure how to do an arrow. She only had a vague idea. She was ready to do some experiments to see if it would work that way. Well, I think I will have enough light to do it. The day is not ended yet. I do not have any glue but I will see if I can fix the obsidian securely on the shaft. I have found some piece of leathers too. With some fire, I may be able to make the leather schink to fit the shaft and the base of the obsidian arrow head. The leather is a bit moist, so, there shoud not have any problem says Zircon, with assurance and surprised by what he says. I will fetch for wood, meanwhile. There are some that had fallen with us says Azure, wanting to be useful too while Zircon was buzy with the arrows. |
