"Minister it best this way cause as many see it you don't like magic much so if they see your healed with the power of magic and your the minister still they going to really make your life harsh in living for the next years and by doing it after you retired you can go into private life and outside the dinoton public eyes with your family and live a very happy life." Wayne gave a brief explaining why it best this way around.

At this point, Para, I could care less what the public thinks of me... I'm going to retire.. after all... So if they don't like it that I used magic to heal myself.. too bad for them' trin replied. "Now get out of here, both of you... I'll summon you back wizard after I give my retirement speech..."

"Very well sir" Wayne nod and leaves the room

Stripetail left the room shortly afterward, and returned home. He found the castle no different than it had been, apparently, Eva had not invityed anyone over...

Eva sat in one of the rooms looking at books about red dragons, some just theorys and others being very old books Stripetail kept.

Stripetail called out as he entered the hallway "Eva! I'm home! Did you bring any friends over? " his voice echoed and carried throughout the house, causing Eva to stir from the book she was reading, which was an ancient book about Red Dragon ettiquette.

Eva picks up the book and take it with her and soon find Stripetail "I wasn't really sure who to ask around, I was thinking about asking Nova around but i don't know where he lives" Eva said to him

Nick22 · **Reply #267 on:** April 12, 2007, 02:22:43 PM

What about Tristan or Alicia? You know where they live..." Stripetail frowned.. "You know I wouldn't have cared if you brought friends over, i trust you, and know thgat you wouldn't have done anything stupid or dangerous.."

"Well I did ask them and they had family matters to attend to and said sorry to me that they couldn't come around." Eva explained to Stripetail. "So the only other choice was Nova but I didn't know where he lived or know how to contact him so no one in the end came around" Eva finished saying to him

Nick22 · **Reply #269 on:** April 16, 2007, 01:25:46 PM

No matter" Stripetail sighed. "What have you been doing then, since i've been away?"

Threehorn · **Reply #270 on:** April 16, 2007, 01:33:03 PM

"I have been reading some more books on Red Dragons, some of the older ones" Eva replied to Stripetail "I like to know much more about them as I can and their form of energy as well" Eva explained but didn't say anything about having a bit of a feeling towards Nova.

Stripetail paused and looked at her. . "I have untold thousands of books and other articles that i hae collected over the ages here, while the Red dragons kept much of their records hidden even before they concealed themselves, I have been fortunate enough to have garnered quite a bit of inbformation about them. They used magic before they disappeared, those were happier days, when they and the Wizzin were allies and trusted each other. The Master wizzin was among them then, the leader of the great Wizzin, who disappeared after a few foolish Wizzin broke the trust between the two races by stealing the ancient magical records of the Red Dragons. This resulted in thier destruction, and a curse being placed on any Wizzin who refused to allow his or herself to be questioned about this.'

Threehorn · **Reply #272 on:** April 16, 2007, 02:48:35 PM

"Maybe there is a way to rebuild that trust" Eva said to him "I know there is always a way to do something" Eva spoke

Nick22 · **Reply #273 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:02:37 PM

I will try to do that, for my part" Stripetail nodded. " It won't be easy, the Red draggons stopped using magic after that fiasco, and they still don't hold us Wizzin in very high regard. As for training you in the ways of the Red dragons, you will get your chance... at some point.."

"Some point better be soon" Blackstar said to himself as he watched with arms crossed "Stripetail should tell her what the Red Dragons have oftened. She will have till the end of the year if nothing learned really learned by the power Red Dragons. We will have to wait another million years" Blackstar spoke sitting down on a flat block rock. "I will return everything back to normal if have to and reset this test for another time in the furture, it is not looking promising" he sighed.

Nick22 · **Reply #275 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:17:38 PM

Have faith Blackstar." Said a voice behind him. in the clearing stepped a large dragon, whose eyes glimmered with light. at the sight of this dragon Blackstar recoiled in shock. "Surprised? You're not the only one keeping tabs on young Eva and Lord Stripetail. I have as well" This dragon was called Lord Stavanus, and he also happened to be the legendary and reclusive Master Wizzin.

Threehorn · **Reply #276 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:22:17 PM

"Lord Stavanus" Blackstar stood and then knelt before him "I gather you know of the Red Dragon 3 stage test to come"

Nick22 · **Reply #277 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:33:49 PM

Indeed I do.. and I have some questions to ask , particularly about the final stage"Stavanus replied.

Threehorn · **Reply #278 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:43:50 PM

"Yes?" Blackstar now wondering.

Nick22 · **Reply #279 on:** April 16, 2007, 03:52:56 PM

You want Stripetail to draw with or lose to Eva, correct? well, all things being equal,that wil not happen unless you force Stripetail to duel at a disadvantage. He's never lost in his life, as you well know, and you'd have to make it worth his while to draw or lose...REALLY worth his while. I'm the same way, I hate losing a duel.." Stavanus said. "You'd have to force him to duel in his Wizzin form here..." He said glancing at the dueling field above them. "Eva is not a prodigy, she's done well at school, to be sure, but she is not going to ratchet up her powers enough in 6 months to be at Stripetail's level. Stripetail believes very strongly in not falling into the Merlin trap, which is teaching your student everything you know about everything. "
