"Actually I was going to ask you the same thing." Ling replied offering a cup of tea to the skeleton "you see I'm very curious about how creatures of the earth, humans, managed to cast such a complicated and advanced spell. I'm almost a hundred years old, I'm a demon, and I couldn't even dream of being able to perform such a feat of magic."

Ling gestured out the open doors towards the garden outside "even our finest spellcasters can't save more than a small plant, but you saved a country."
