[quote=Augusta?]"Hmm.  For now, I suppose we'll hold down the camp. Perhaps you should try to practice your magic more, young man."[/quote]

"[color=skyblue]Hey now, I doubt you're pretty old yourself.[/color]" Nick was unamused at [u]Augusta's[/u] comment.

The two stayed to rest in the area with Nick still continuing to attempt magic. He tried hard, concentrating and focusing, but after several attempts, he produced no results. Nick sat down on the snow-covered ground, panting and a little mad that he was not able to cast magic. He could feel it, the magical energy, but he couldn't grasp it much less control it. It left as soon as it came, giving Nick no opportunity to use it. Damn, [u]Augusta[/u] and the others make it look so easy.

He sighed in frustration. It was then that the demon pup Octavia cautiously approached him, barking and wagging her tail. "[color=skyblue]Now what do you want, you little mutt?[/color]" Nick responded to the dog's playfulness with a happy smirk. He rubbed Octavia's head as he continued. "[color=skyblue]You wanna go play something? How about fetch? Err, sorry if that's too generic. I didn't exactly had a pet back in Earth.[/color]"
