When Sukrae woke, he was aware of a warm feeling. It was like, he thought, the times he had fallen asleep in front of the fire, back when he was a child.

Then, the memories of what had happened struck him all at once, and he sprung up, glancing wildly around for Teegan.

Sukrae was amazed. He had woken right next to a fire, under a heavy red blanket. There was no sign of Teegan, nor was there a sign of the bloody scene he had gone to sleep in.

He took a few steps forward, feeling his boots sink into the carpet. He looked up, seeing the rich tapestries that covered the walls, and the red velvet that draped lazily from overhead, concealing the ceiling and holding in heat.
As he stood, confused, a man came into the room.

The newcomer wore deep blue robes, a embroidered silver star across the chest. A zig-zag pattern crossed the hem, while a bright gold scarf draped itself around his waist. The man looked kind though, with a short grey beard and a softly wrinkled face.

Sukrae felt awkward, dirty and wet as he was. This man looked like he could be a baron, even a king. The silence was finally broken by the other man.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," he said in a low, gentle, voice. "I've been working with Teegan, and you still seemed comfortable, so....."

"How is Teegan?" Asked Sukrae.

"She's fine. As a matter of fact, she has a suprise for you. Come with me, and I'll show you where she is."
The man turned, and Sukrae hurried to keep up. They went down a hall, as richly decorated as the first room had been. As they walked, Sukrae grew more and more curious about his companion. Finally, he got up the courage to ask. "Excuse me, but there are a few things I'd like to know."

"Fire away," the man said, grinning. "I wondered when you'd ask me."

"Well, it would be nice to know your name. Also, how did you find us?"

"My name is Traer Yanti, and I'm a wizard, more or less. I live out here, and many people come to me for teaching. Right now I have four studying with me, and I'm sure you'll meet them while you're here. As for how I found you, you were right outside my front door when you had your altercation. I heard the screams, and went up. I hope you didn't mind my sleeping-spell, it was the best thing to do, under the circumstances."

"No, I don't mind at all. I've heard of you, you know. I nearly came out to study with you, but decided not to, because I didn't know where you lived."

"Yes, it IS rather hard to find me. However, I can't move all this, nor do I want too. I like living here, plus this way I only get people who really WANT to study, not just random folks who want love potions and all. What's your name, by the by? Teegan told me hers, but wasn't sure if you'd like her to tell yours."

"I'm Sukrae. I'm a magic user as well, mostly dealing in shadow."

"Pleased to meet you, Sukrae. But, if you're a wizard, why didn't you use your powers to kill that panther?"

"My arm'* injured. I can't cast spells left-handed, so I have to make do with my one sword. It's hard to do though, and I'm more likely to cut off my own head then my enemy's."

"Yes, I see your problem. I will help with that later, but right now we're almost where we want to be. Just through that door, then the next two doors."

Traer opened the door that they had stopped in front of.

This room had a fireplace too, and three young women and one young man were lounging on the carpet, talking. They all looked as the door opened, jumping up at the entrance of Traer.

"These," said Traer to Sukrae, "are my students. Please meet Lanna," he gestured to a pretty brown-haired girl. "Nator," a black-haired man stepped forward, shaking Sukrae's hand firmly. "Tantia," the blonde next to Nator waved shyly. "And Laressa," a girl by the fire stepped forward, shaking Sukrae's hand just as firmly as Nator had. "You will be able to talk to them later, but right now I would imagine that you'd like to see Teegan."

"Yes, very much."

They went through another door, then through the final one. In that room, Teegan sat on a chair by another fire, looking up happily as Sukrae entered.

"Hi!" She said, "How are you doing?"

"Alright." Sukrae looked at her, and it seemed to him that she glowed with a faint light, her raven hair swishing sofly as she moved. Her amber eyes glittered in the firelight, and she looked like a drawing of a girl on paper, with a candel lit behind it to make it glow like stained-glass.

Smiling at him, she crossed to the other side of the room, drawing aside a lavender curtain. From behind the curtain stepped a girl, so similer to Teegan that they looked like twins. The new girl grinned at Sukrae.

"Taena?" He asked in amazement. "How did you..... I mean..... you know..."

Taena laughed. "Traer here was a big help with that. Maybe you should ask him, because I still don't really know."

Traer smiled, clearly enjoying Sukrae's confusion. "Well, is a person dies in battle, then the Grim Reaper doesn't have any advance notice, so he has to finish up whatever he's doing before he gets the new corpse. So, the soul stays in the body until he comes. But, while the soul is in the body, it's possible to resurrect said corpse. That's what happened here. But, as you may have noticed, I took a part of Teegan to resurrect Taena. So, as Teegan can't live with part of herself missing, and Taena didn't have all of herself either, I replaced the gaps with magic."

"So.. they're part magic now?"

"Yes. They can do pretty good spells, not as good as yours though. You will all learn more magic while you stay with me."

"Stay with you? Where do we sleep?"

"You and Teegan will stay in this room, and Taena'll be next door."

Taena grinned. "If I hear any odd noises, then I'm going to come in and embarrass you both."

Traer patted Taena on the shoulder. "Don't worry. The walls are sound proof."
