    She could still remember the words he first said to her, they stick in her head like they were said yesterday

    "You are young and foolish, little one. You will learn to think with your head instead of spending your time dancing in the woods. You are destined to surpass your friends, be better than them. Failure is not an option in this."

    _She could still see his face, old and wrinkled, yet she could also see the power behind his eyes, the power he commanded. He was her mentor and teacher now, the one who will show her to harness that same power.

    The years flew by quickly, mostly chores to do, sweeping up after the messy archmage. Collecting his papers and following him around taking notes. He would speak to her at times in different languages she did not know and then punish her for not understanding him. At first she thought him just a mean old elf, but in the end she saw what he was doing.

    The first time he ever smiled at her was when he told her to pick up some garbage that was laying on the ground, he spoke to her in orcish, she so hated that language, yet he kept telling her, his voice getting angry and raising as he spoke, until finally, he was yelling at her._

    "I am tired of your constant nagging and yelling at me old man, if you want to speak to me, do it in a language I can understand!"

    As she saw that smile come across his face, she realized something was different, she had yelled back at him in orcish. Her eyes went wide and she clasped a hand over her mouth.

    "Now you are ready to really learn child."

    _He was right, without even trying to teach her the words, she learned to begin to speak the language, he said it was simply from listening. From that day on, she listened quite intently to all he said. For years she was taught, her abilities growing fast, until the day he just disappeared. Perhaps he went to off to die, she will not know unless she finds him.

    Now with her power increasing, it was time to set out, to see if any trace can be found. To make her way in the world, and perhaps one day find the old man._
