Jason listened to the queen and was amazed at what he heard. Magic? Real, bona fide magic? This was incredible, "so you're saying by going in this river we can use magic? What are we waiting around for, we should be going right now." Jason stopped leaning on the tree with new vigor in his step. His life had always been so boring, but now he was in a new place, new people, and he was going to be able to do magic. Some of the others may not be happy with the circumstances they were in but Jason was loving it. He never had the best relationship with his parents, he didn't really have any friends, and he was recently let go from his job. His life before was a crumbling mess, but now he had a fresh start and he was going to use it to the fullest.
