Its Seems the Report of My Escape from the Miasma Was Premature

by Lady Seraphina Swann

[Writing in Daria's Book]
 
Saia Daria,
 
It seems that I did indeed has a chance encounter with the drust from the crater I written you about. Likely on my hands as I pulled myself out of the crater. The last few days I have not been able to sleep and with the help of a new found friend, Matilde, a sorcerer, I have found out why. It seems that the drust has brought forth an ancient, once diluted strain of draconic blood. I'm thinking likely in my mother's most ancient bloodline. As such I have expressed an inner energy, somewhat like lightning. We practiced earlier this evening away from prying eyes. I've found that I can produce this energy constantly with little effort. A mere whisper of sounds that I do not understand and a casual gesture. With enough energy I can charge an object and send it flying over 30 yards away. Similarly I can wrap myself temporarily with the energy, which seems to deflect blows. At least somewhat. Lastly, I arced the lightning between two hands and lit up the area. I must confess this magic gave me feelings of emotional release not unlike my allurement training if I may be base, or the feelings of when I first used the Dréama voice. It is seductive in and of itself.
 
Miss Maltida, who is a few years my junior, has offered to teach me how to control this. As our goal is knowledge, stories, and influence, I cannot see why associating with the sorcerers could be bad. I am already associated indirectly with my cousin's administration, the Adventurer's guild, the Archives, and more. I don't know where this power will lead me, but I think I should explore it.
 
I kindly ask your advice.
 
Seraphina
