Good, it appears to be working. Perhaps another minute.

-Maddie- *Is back* Oh, but Seth gets tea! *Seth is gone with me* I'll take care of you! *Lays you in a fanciful bed and brews a pot of tea on a table next to it, which is now a miniature stove*

*Sits up quickly and suddenly*
Corruption has been detected.

-Maddie- *You are hooked up to healing equipment identical to what Aphrodite is using; I activate it*

@Disdain

*Hops off the table*
Someone tried to interfere far more than I appreciate.

But as unexpected and unnecessarily complex as the situation was, he did follow protocol.

Why, that is how the wood is here. Whatever falls from the trees burns both long and bright. You might notice that the bug-eaters like it. But, thankfully, they don't eat us; they seem to understand that we created the fire. They are attracted to light, you see. *Waves a hand at the enormous Venus fly traps surrounding the town*

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

The Green Magic, as the Master Earth Scribe says, flows with nature. He requires that you understand how to use nature to your advantage—without desecrating it. He would like you to understand that nature is not only life; it is death, too, and it is the struggle for life and death. You will be tested in all three.

@Realmatic

I see. Seems to revolve around the basic tenets behind which I use my powers already.

Maddie, you can do what you will with that shell of a Codex. Aphrodite, I sincerely thank you for your assistance, and for providing us the opportunity to survive.
