"So, this is the Tablet..." The silver-haired teenager spoke to herself as her echoing steps filled the empty temple. The white horse remained outside, not tied up as Rei knew it wouldn't run off. In fact, 'Yuki' as she named him was quite fond of people.
It was a long, wide hall which was well lit by decorative lantern placements and chandeliers filled with candles. One could assume the unattended candles would have melted a long time ago, and the lanterns burned out, but there was a strange feeling resonating from this place - it was magic that kept this timeless temple in pristine condition. The large golden stone, etched with an ancient language glistened at the end of the temple, it too released it's own kind of magical energy. But was that real magic, or a mental illusion formed by curiosity? Rei stood back from the carvings with her arms folded and her head tilted to one side whilst she tried to make out what it said.

Aura raised herself on her tiptoes and held the letter up to the older Mage, "It's a quest of some sort, Ms. Craïs. The Council wants us both to go on it," she explained. Whilst it was being read by Craïs, Aura couldn't help but examine the redheaded, tanned young woman's figure and face with a curious expression. Craïs was easily one of the prettiest mages little Aura had ever seen. Unbeknownst to the child, her jaw had dropped somewhere along the line as she continued staring.
When I get older, I wonder if I'll be like her... Thought the pale-haired girl.
