Surprising Results [Private]

It had been three long and painful weeks of research for Lucille. The blood mage painstakingly worked to find something, anything that would help her figure out how this book had worked. And to her surprise, she been patient enough to not rip the book completely apart and instead waited it out for the perfect breakthrough. Her family had a rich history of using this magic, but almost none of that history was particularly useful if she couldn't use it in any way. After a difficult week of near hair tearing frustration, Lucille couldn't hope but doubt that this magic was still able to be used by someone like her. Until she managed to find the text of someone named Mel. It kept a small detail on one of her great grandfather's text, which she found and eventually learned held all of the secrets of the magic book she was reading. What was this book, that had her ignoring the duties of following around Lyserg and trying to figure out exactly how to use? It was the book on maybe one of the most unknown magic types of all, yet used in indirect ways.

The Speed Force.

It was a difficult to learn and almost excruciating to adjust to, thus one would have to be perfectly in shape. Lucille could only bring theories towards how this would improve her for Tartarus. She would no longer go insane from having blood spilled on her, and that also meant she would be able to work with others without any difficulty. But this was really all of a theory, and she needed to properly align an idea with her master, Lyserg, before she said anything. So, she packed up the three books and began to walk towards his study.

When she reached there, she gulped and tried to steady her nerves. Knowing that he might be busy, she knocked lightly and asked out in a clear voice. "Master Lyserg? I have something I wish to discuss with you."

Lucille shivered a bit at the look that her master had given her. It was a bit of a bad idea to come to him without giving him a heads up, as he was pretty particular about that sort of thing when he wanted to be. Still, she was not to be deterred, as her research needed to be known, and now was a better time than ever. When he moved by, she bowed and entered his office with the grace she had learned from years of being primed to be a nice princess for someone. Sitting down in one of the chairs he pointed out, Lucille kept a firm grip on the books she had been using for research in the last few days. These were extremely important to her, and she would do everything in her power to keep them safe from harm. When Lyserg asked what she had come for so unannounced, she had to hold back the giddy feeling she had for a serious face.

"Master Lyserg. If I may first apologize for my rudeness." Lucille spoke, feeling the strain her voice had gone under for the first time in a while. It was mostly due to how much speaking she did, but also because she had tried a few........spells that didn't exactly work in the favor of how she wanted them. "I have a breakthrough on something we both might share a common interest in." Lifting the books slightly to showcase what she meant, Lucille smirked slightly before her face went back into a professional mode. "My current magic has led to a few.....problems for me. And for the image I want to paint myself as in Tartarus. Naturally......a few changes are in order." Lucille tapped the books as to point out that they were the key to her answer.

"The solutions.......are all in these books. She confidently said, smirking again at her guild master.

Lucille shifted a bit straighter while listening to her master. It was true that her original plan was to find a way to nullify the negative effects of the magic she currently used, but this had become a discovery of her ancestry that she could not ignore no matter what. When she had saw exactly what type of family she had come from, her entire focus had shifted towards trying to change her magic up completely. It had some success, as she used different incantations and managed to negate some of the things that Wayne had done to her mind. But not everything had gone away, and this magic would be a burden unless she got rid of it completely.

"I have learned some......interesting side effects of Blood Lust. Some of which the bastard Wayne programmed so I would do whatever he wanted, whenever he pleased." Lucille spat the man's name out with so much venom, one would be surprised that she didn't literally spit out poison. But that was not the image she wanted to portray in front of her master, so she composed herself and looked back at the books briefly. The information they held was the most important key to helping Lucille get stronger. Problems occurred when she noticed something about attempting to use said magic..

"The books do indeed hold the solutions. However, the solutions require a few outside sources to fully work properly. As I do not have the current means to accomplish this by myself, I believed that you could assist." Lucille gently placed the books on his desk, spread so that he could see the titles of all three books. One was old and worn to a point where the name of the book had been worn away by time, only reading "Mel Journal" and nothing else. The second one was named "Theorem of Dimensional Access", and the final one read "Thesis and Advanced knowledge of Speed Force". Lucille kept an eye on her master while placing the books, before she cleared her throat. "I was hoping you could properly look at them, and my notes that are inside to see if you could find something that might work. I have tried, and failed, to use the magic on my own terms. Where I tried and the full outcome shall be disclosed at a time better suited." Lucille cringed at the end, knowing that hiding the damage she had done was better not attempted to hide. Lyserg would find out, and the possible punishment could only be severe.

"But can you assist me, master Lyserg?" Her curiosity at his answer would cause her to lean in, but show nothing on her face or otherwise.

Lucille chuckled at her master’s own shock at the magic and theories. It was true a bit that she had a little bit of a hard time at first, but once she read some of the book that was Mel’s Journal she easily figured out the more complex parts. “It was quite easy once I read the chapter on magical conversion of extra-dimensional energy into mass. I just had to recalibrate a few figures for myself and I could understand it perfectly.” Lucille proudly stated, puffing her chest out a bit before she settled into a more relaxed sitting position again and nodding her head towards his last statement.

“I can take you to it. Most of it is fairly basic on the wording, but I think I got the general concepts down.” Lucille stood and began to walk towards the door leading out of Lyserg’s office. She would open the door and walk out towards her room, but quietly and slowly enough for her master to follow. Once she reached her room, she opened the door and entered easily, allowing Lyserg to see the rows upon rows of papers that littered the walls.

“Well. Lets just find the stuff that matters huh?” Lucille joked before grabbing a random stack of papers and looking through them.
