Everything Ariel said only served to make Penny feel more guilty. She should have been at the guild… it didn’t matter how hard things were for her, Ariel had done a lot for Penny… Ariel had been there when she’d needed someone the most… and she’d just left her. “I’m sorry” She said softly, “I should have taught you… I should have been here to help” While Penny didn’t fully understand Ariel’s magic- she doubted anyone could, except Ariel herself, and Ariel had no clue how her magic worked.
Penny should have still been there to help, anyway.
“We’ll find something to help… “ She said softly, “I’m not sure what, or how, but there has to be an answer”
Patrick laughed, “I was six when I came up with that Title, what do you expect? Just be glad it wasn’t “Wibbly Woobly Timey whimey stuff”. That was a high contender” He said with true amusement, the young man grin, clearly not phased at all by Ferrin’s attitude.
“I understand your concern, Ferrin, but you don’t get to decide who goes and who stays. The island does, and if the island wants us to step on its land, then it will allow us. How do you think you’d manage to survive, when the greatest guilds could not deal with it? You are one man, Ferrin, and if the island wants our help, you cannot stop it” Jamie said, her tone rather serious.
Patrick leaned forward slightly, “Besides. The guilds have already stepped onto the island, in my time. Obviously, something went wrong.. But things are different this time. For one, we have you, Mr. Astra. For another, we are prepared. Would you rather the island be destroyed, or will you help the guilds, and allow us to help you?”
