Gwendolyn Flowers - Path of the Al'Noth

[jadewillow]

Gwen has returned home after a long period away in her new role as Protector. She tells her mother and father of the adventures she has been on, what she has observed, and how they all come back to the Al'Noth. On one occasion she traveled deep under ground to catch a glimpse of a Beholder. It was a sight to see for sure, and it had a mastery of the Al'Noth that was very adept and unusual. Unfortunately, when it turned it's many eyes on Gwen, her group had to fight for their lives killing the beast.

After catching up with her parents, Gwen gave her mother an update on her studies of the Al'Noth.



"To be honest mother, I have not made much progress. My patroling takes most of my time, and making time to study all those books is very difficult for me." - Gwen said



"You must try sweetheart. The Al'Noth provides many things and understanding it, will make you a happier and more productive person." - Gwen's mother said.



After their conversation and a bite to eat, Gwen's mother took her into her library and began to help her with her studies.

Gwen's  mother took her into her study in the back of their small home. The study was crammed with old books from floor to ceiling. They were all very well organized and clean. Gwen loved the order of this room. She use to come in here as a child and marvel at the index system. She would count for hours dragging a finger from one binding to the next. She was much more interested in how the books were organized than what is in them.

"Here have a seat Gwen. I am going to start you with a primer on spells, how they are created and how you memorize them. Read this and let me know when you are done". - Gwen's mother said

Gwen sighed and reluctantly sat down in front of the book. She opened the first page and began to read.
