Caroline flushed a bit and turned away. "Promise you won't laugh?" She said quietly, then paused for a minute.

When I was little, my mom always told me stories about this woman she met once. Erza Scarlet. She told me all about how this woman could create weapons and armor out of thin air, how she could stand up against anyone, especially if she had her guild beside her. Growing up, I wanted nothing except to be a great mage like her, so I tried as hard as I could to do what she did, create what I needed out of nothing. Nobody told me until after I replicated the magic the way I thought it worked that Erza's Requip magic wasn't all that special after all. Now I figure it's too late for me to go back and learn actual Requip, but I've learned that doing things your own way tends to impress people more."

She shuffled the pages in her notebook, then continued. "If you're interested, I built the process by taking pieces from other established magics. Mostly Letter Magic, Maker Magic and the enchantments they put on actual artifacts."

Nathan shrugged and silently lifted off the ground. "I suppose I'll go see what they want then, though it's possible I already know." He floated through the arch of the doorway and up to the second floor, landing softly on the wood before continuing forward. Whatever it was, he hoped it wasn't about today.
