the Namreg system of training in Theophlossey, originally developed by a great and Ancient Sorcerer whose name no one would ever dare speak, was the method chosen for Antressa's indoctrination into the Aeromancious Arts.........for Sarogahtyp knew that Zorph, the Evil Wizard of Degradoom, would spare no expense nor leave no Magick unemployed in seeking Delicretia's valuable sister.........Sarogahtyp, even though he had become famous in the Legend and Lore of Theophlossey, and actually operated covertly under the pseudonym "Mademoiselle Rembrandt", saved his most pioneering methods for those apprentices who displayed the necessary aptitude for acquisition of Theophlossey at the highest levels.............Antressa was just such a candidate...... he began her training with simple exercises in dialects and idiomatic speech of Foreign Lands......she was placed in the Hall of Mirrors and exhaustively Channeled with Theophlossey's most vigorous Linguist Spirits.........she could always see the motion of her own facial features as she Mastered the colloquial pronunciation of the various Realms through which she would most assuredly be forced to navigate in order to keep free of Zorph until such time as she was ready to join Valley in facing this Ultimate Evil in her Life's Quest to liberate her Beloved Sister from his Nightmarish Clutches.......... |
