"Dear Mavis,

By the time you read this, I would likely already be at the dream docks.
In the recent months, I find myself overwhelmed by feelings I cannot explain. Feelings for someone I think you may know. It's my hope that when I return, I will be older and wiser; enough so that I can understand what these feelings are and how I should channel them.

It is also my hope that when I return, I will be a woman who has taken back everything she has lost. My home, my life, everything. It's my hope to see it all restored.

Regardless of how much I may change as I confront my destiny through the dream docks, I want you to know you are still my fairy sister.

~Love, Anastasia"

[The answer comes nearly two weeks later.]

"Dear little sister,

I hope you're back from the dream docks by now. Though, I know from personal experience that times flows weirdly when you go there.

I don't know if I should expect not to recognize you next time I see you. I know my heart will know it's you, no matter how much you might have changed. And yes, you'll always have your fairy sister to come back to, for as long as I'm here.

I sincerely hope your journey back to your world will provide you with the answers you seek. Please let me know when you're back. Or better yet, come visit me at Fairy Haven.

I miss you.

Hugs,
Mavis."

[Keeping it in texts because Anastasia wants to surprise her.]

"Dear Mavis,

When will it be a good time to visit you at Fairy Haven?

~Anastasia"

((OOC: aka "Shall it be here? Or a log on the comms?"))

From:

fairysoul

How about next week? Whenever it more convenient for you. You know I'm always happy to see you.

Glad you're back.

[[OOC: I don't mind it either way. We can log it here or on the comm, so long you don't mind backdating in to before the event started (on October 15thish or something?). Here might be easier. And sorry I didn't get back to you on this earlier, RL stole me away again.^^;]]

From:

innocent_royal

[[OOC: And I thought my job was demanding. But anyways, okay, let's make it here then. :) ]]

Okay. I will see you next week.

[And a week later, it was time. On the 15th, Anastasia makes her way to Fairy Haven in Fayren. She gives her fairy sister a text announcing her arrival and waits outside.

When Mavis comes, she will find not a young girl, but a young woman. Her trip to the dream docks resulted in Anastasia becoming a teenager appearing to be around the age of 15.]

...Hi, Mavis. It's good to see you again.

From:

fairysoul

[[ooc: \o/]]

[The main doors of Fairy Haven seem to burst open as Mavis comes out, barefoot and running, to welcome back her little sister.]

Ana!

[As she gets closer, Mavis slows down and almost comes to an halt.] ...Ana?

[The young woman standing there, waiting for her definitely is Ana. Yes, she also looks different. Older.

Now it feels like both girls are the same age. Mavis might even look like the younger of the two.]

Wow. I had no idea the dream docks could do this.

[She still closes the distance and pulls her 'little sister' into a hug.] It's good to see you too, Ana. Though, I'm not sure if I should call you 'little sister' anymore. ...You're still less than a hundred years old, aren't you?

From:

innocent_royal

[Anastasia smiles brightly and hugs Mavis back when she comes into optimum hugging range.]

Yes, it's me. And I'm still less than one-hundred years old. I'm... fifteen, I think? Or eighteen? I don't really know anymore.

[She gasps when she remembers something. She leaves the hug.]

Oh, being a magic guild leader, I inherited something I know you will love.

[She reaches behind her and pulls a magical grimoire from a book sling and shows it to Mavis. It looks like an ancient tome, kept with the greatest and most adoring of care. The illegible golden font on the cover seemingly glows a very faint light.]

This is the Tyrinolim, a sacred treasure of my kingdom. Passed down for generations of Nivian royalty since quite possibly from well before the founding of the country, it has finally come down to me.

From:

fairysoul

[Mavis pulls out of the hug, too, albeit a bit reluctantly.

When she sees the grimoire, though. Her eyes widen and her hand instinctively reaches out for the book. But she stops a few inches short from actually touching its cover.]

A grimoire... It looks magnificent and very old, too. Does it contain magic spells?

From:

innocent_royal

Yes, in a way.

[She opens the book to pages, flipping through one page at a time, each with the same illegible writing as on the cover]

Let me put it this way: With the Tyrinolim, my magic is unrestrained. When I cast, I can store the spell inside of it and use it later, completed fully. And, if any other magic-users write their own magic incantations into the book, I can use it, but only once.

This is about as close to using non-destructive magic as I can get.

From:

fairysoul

[Mavis leans in, trying to decipher the writing but to no avail.] Only you can use it, then? Which means you actually understand what is written in here?

...What in there is no incantation needed? Or if a magical object, like a key for instance, is needed?

From:

innocent_royal

I can read it, but at the same time, I can't. It's a very enigmatic tome.

[Anastasia flips the book to a blank page, and waves a hand over it. A feathered pen phases from the book and enters their reality, and she takes it.]

It's only just magic that exists as the written word. It's difficult to explain.

[A pause.]

Like I weave mana to make my magic. Weaving mana is almost like writing out a incantation. If you know how to translate magic into writing, then, for example, you can write it on here, and then I can extract it and use it as if it were my own.

From:

fairysoul

[Mavis listens carefully and nods.] Levy, one of my guildmates... she'd be all over your book if she was still here. Her magic is called solid script. And it's literally about turning things including magic spell into words.

[She watches the pen, then Anastasia and then the blank page again.] Do you think I could try?

From:

innocent_royal

Do you mean Levy McGarden by any chance?

[Indeed, she knew and remembers a blue-haired woman by that name. Anastasia holds the feathered pen to Mavis.]

Go ahead.

From:

fairysoul

Yes! That's her. Did you happen to know her?

[Mavis takes the pen.]

So how do I do this?

From:

innocent_royal

I did. I used to visit her at Scripts & Scribes to read manga with her.

[Hmm... How to explain this one?]

Try writing a spell as if you were casting it as you normally would.

From:

fairysoul

Do you know I'm the owner of Scripts & Scribes now? And we still have mangas. I'm surprised you didn't come visit before.

[Mavis tried to concentrate on the spell she used to create the illusion of a little bunny and she placed the pen above the page, hoping that something, anything, would happen.]

From:

innocent_royal

You are? Had I known I would have visited more often. Though, Satsuki has been keeping me busy...

[When the incantation was written into the page, the pen strokes shimmered. When Mavis was done, the incantation faintly glowed and settled.]

There we go. That means you granted me permission to use the magic, and Tyrinolim has accepted it. Now watch~

[Anastasia waved her hand over the newly written text, the very fibers of the mana being pulled out into her hand, and the incantation was gone from the page. She performed her mana-weaving hand motions in a open space beside them, unleashing the spell. The illusion of a bunny that Mavis granted her appeared and gleefully hopped around as if happy to be free.]

And that's how my new magic works. However, it's been used up so you will need to write it in again for me to borrow the magic.

From:

fairysoul

It's never to late to start visiting~

[Mavis watched and smiled.] Tyrinolim. Bow that's an amazing book. I haven't seen any book quite like that.

[The closest thing she'd seen wad E.N.D but it was very very different. The book was used to create an etherious, a demon-like creature. Not to share magic.

While E.N.D was dangerous by nature, Tyrinolim radiated warmth and purity.] Is there any limitation to the kind of magic Tyrinolim can absorb?

From:

innocent_royal

Quite a number, actually. It won't accept magic regarded as Black Magic. Any incantations created to influence minds, for example, or schools like demon summoning or necromancy.

[She closes the grimoire and cradles it in her arms.]

From:

fairysoul

No black magic. Okay. [So definitely not like E.N.D. And it wouldn't accept Ankhseram's magic either.]

So, you brought back a wonderful grimoire. Did you bring back answers as well?

From:

innocent_royal

Answers to...

[It took her a moment, but now she got it. She did get some answers, but she still had questions that made her blush. She hasn't really figured out her feelings yet.]

O-Oh, umm... Yes. To most of them, at least. But the others...

[How is she even going to explain?!]

From:

fairysoul

[Mavis went to sit down by a tree and gestured for Ana to join her.] Care to share?

From:

innocent_royal

[It took her a moment, but she does, setting Tyrnolim on her lap. Longer still does she make some,sort attempt to phrase her question.]

Mavis, you...have a boyfriend, yes? I feel like I asked this before, but... I need a refresher.
