To prove we are not a danger to ourselves and others, we endured that test. It is better or worse depending upon the Circle- but it would never be quite so bad in the Spire. I managed to ask him, then- Just the once before I left him and did not speak with him for the better part of a month. It hurt too much to see him but he said-
He'd been afraid because he did not know what it was. He did not know if he could prepare for it, if he could face it. Because we are not meant to know, ow are we to ever prepare? I...lost some time. Feeling poorly. Grieving a man not dead. Drinking.
[ Oh how much she has changed now, in her grief and her wisdom. ]
My attention started to slip, my mentors noticed- one commented that I was doing poorly and they expected better of me now that I was a mage. That I ought not rest on my laurels. Between Robert's choice and his reason, that comment? I swore none should be so afraid as to choose Tranquility out of fear. And...I taught. What I had gone through, I asked others for their stories. Quiet lessons where we could not be found, I taught apprentices what they might expect. What they might face. I prepared them as I and Robert had not and while I was not able to teach all of them or make certain it did them much good- word spread and none went so ignorant into their harrowing. None chose Tranquility out of fear for what they might face.
I thought if this one thing that I did could change so much for the better- why not teach more things? Why not do more with magic than what we are taught?
