Ista's Illumination

The tower was dark, and silent. The Magus sat in his chamber, contemplating a new bit of magic. Across the room the Well of Worlds showed only inky blackness. The Magis stood and stretched before walking to the wall of bookshelves. Stretching to grab one off the top shelf he returned to the desk and sat down.

The Magus opened the book, set it down upon the desk, and looked upon the blank pages. “Illuminate for the the current tale of my apprentice Feris” Upon the pages, pictures began to form, showing Feris and his companions departing a town, heading out into the desert.

"Master?"

The Magus looked up from his reading. The sky had begun to lighten. "They still haven't found Sita Hatun yet." He told his apprentice sadly.

"But we just received a sending from Feris... He said she's now free, though the Vrachíona is gone."
