Tales of Emaerya, Chapter 1 - Rise of the Emerald Moon
HunterwWolfson for Zoratlor Solaris, the Wizard
Zoratlor Solaris was a very accomplished wizard in his day. Kathryn Crane was his most brilliant pupil and their relationship nearly bridged the bounds of teacher and student to become something far more precious.
ZORATLOR SOLARIS
(impatiently, and loud) No, no, Kathryn! You’re missing the point completely. You can’t think about this in layman’s terms. Magic isn’t something which can be created. It is just – (pause, reconsidering and more softly now, chuckling) well, maybe at one point, it WAS created, but certainly not by you or me. (now, more mystical) Magic is everywhere, in the sky, in the mountains, rocks and trees, in the streams, even in the very air we breathe. We are simply among the lucky few possessing the ability to harness this incredible energy. Whether I utilize it to place this cup upon a shelf without budging from my chair, move mountains, or even force two planets to collide doesn’t matter. Not that I would do that, of course, but you get the point. Here. Watch me carefully, and I’ll show you what I mean. Obfubiscadore! (pronounced Ubfoobee-scawdoor) (triumphant) There! You see? A dragon. It is all very easy. You simply have to BELIEVE that you can do it.
Outstanding! Great emotion and pacing. Really fine job.
thank you so much!
You are most welcome.
