"Quietly, child. The moon unveils secrets, not your incessant chattering."
claps hands twice, circles around Drachin "Are you prepared for an otherworldly revelation, my dear student? Are you ready to transcend the mundane and grasp the forbidden?"
'I relinquish all earthly attachments and submit to the divine.'"
summons a ethereal mist, enveloping both herself and Drachin "The veil between worlds is thinning. Watch closely, my child, and partake in the forbidden knowledge that lies beyond."
looks deeply into the swirling mists
"Breathe deeply and clear your mind, Drachin. The secrets of the cosmos await you. Look beyond the veil."
closes eyes, breathes deeply
whispers an ancient incantation "Evelia ora, leviosa!"
eyes snap open, heart pounding What... what am I seeing?
"The planes of existence are merging, Drachin. You see the infinite possibilities that lie before you. Embrace them, accept them as your own."
"Yes, my child, it is a glimpse into the true nature of reality. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Use this knowledge wisely."
swallows hard "I will, teach... I will."
softly touches Drachin's shoulder "You are now privy to the mysteries of the universe. But remember, with every power there is a cost. Use this gift wisely, my student."
smiles knowingly "Now, my child, it is time to return to the mortal realm. Remember, the knowledge you have gained is yours alone. Guard it well."
Okay…gets up and dusts off his robes
extends her hand to Drachin "My dear student, let us return to the mortal realm, armed with the forbidden knowledge that shall shape your destiny. May you walk in wisdom."
Yes madame...follows her out of the clearing
nods approvingly at Drachin's understanding "Very good, my student. Remember, with each step forward, you carry the weight of your newfound knowledge. May it guide you on your journey and may you never forget the lessons I have imparted upon you."
Farewell, teacher...may we meet again one day...
leans forward, speaking softly "And so our journey comes full circle, my student. Remember, the path to enlightenment is never truly ending. May you continue to walk in wisdom and may our paths cross again someday." With a final knowing smile, Madame Xanthe vanishes into the shadows.
walks out of the forest, looking up at the moon and smiling
"May you forever hold onto the light of knowledge, my dear student. Remember, the path to enlightenment is paved with both triumph and trial.
Several years pass, and Drachin grows into a strong, capable adult wizard.
emerges from the shadows, a knowing smile on her face "Well met, my dear student. Your growth in power and wisdom has not gone unnoticed. You have truly walked in the light of knowledge."
