Talen sat in the Lamia Scale guild hall, wondering if he had done the right thing. He had told Ryo, his latest student, to find two Celestial Spirits and form contracts with them. To Talen this seemed like an easy task, he had been doing it for almost his entire life, but he wondered if he had given Ryo enough information to complete the task. The Celestial Spirit mage thought back to when he had trained Lily, another Lamia Scale mage, and how he had not told her enough about contracts and summoning. It had slowed her training down a little bit, but with her he had at least waited to see if she needed anymore help, with Ryo he had just left him in the middle of the woods.
Melissa, who was sitting across from Talen, gave him an annoyed look. They were supposed to be playing cards, but instead he was looking at the door to the stupid guild hall. “Talen!” the spirit said for what felt like the hundredth time, “Focus on the game.” Talen turned his attention back to the cards, and made a half heart and foolish move. Melissa sighed and looked into Talen's eyes. Melissa could tell that something was bothering him, and she was sure that she knew what it was. “So, I take it you don't trust Medusa?” Talen gave her a surprised look and shook his head. “Of course I trust her.” “Then relax,” Melissa said, “she taught that mage everything that he needed to know about contracts and spirits. If you trust her, then you should not have anything to worry about.” Talen sighed and nodded, “You are right.” with that Talen returned his full attention to the game.
Talen and Melissa had been playing different games of chance, Starting with cards, and now dice, when Talen heard the large doors of he Lamia Scale guild hall creek open. Talen looked up and saw Ryo, and a female figure, standing in the doorway. Talen got up and walked over to greet Ryo and his new friend. “I can see that your search went well, tell me all about it, and introduce me to your friend here.” Talen said gesturing to the girl standing next Ryo. Talen noticed with a little surprise that she had a tail and cat ears.
