Lilie absolutely loved the concept of it--advanced magic weaving challenges and testing their abilities was fantastic--but the rest of it was still trying to settle in her mind. She had revealed an awful lot about herself and had to confront some things she didn't want to, and that part wasn't as great as the magic. Still, she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy it, she just wasn't really sure if she wanted to open that can of worms. She wasn't sure what Max's point was, but she didn't think asking was a good idea. Their experiences were also a lot different than hers, now that she thought about it. Fighting a vampire seemed terrifying, even if it was a test! When Aaron mentioned the other challenge, however, Lilie realized she could definitely mention those without spilling [i]everything[/i]. [color=00BFFF]"All the ones we ran into were cooperative,"[/color] Lilie piped up, taking a second to remember. [color=00BFFF]"Let's see...the best one had to be where we had to go through these pools of water with these stones that made it way easier to control the water, it was like getting a look into the future when I have better control over my magic."[/color] [color=00BFFF]"One we failed was a little dull, but it didn't make too much sense to me,"[/color] She admitted. [color=00BFFF]"It was a statue of King Noila, and he said 'Fear the one that does not fear me.' And it was Sybil Sinnenodel, but she was a [i]lot[/i] younger. 'No man may [i]make [/i]me kneel, no vampire [i]demand [/i]dominion,' she said. I don't really get what it was trying to say, but Ben--Count Eve seemed kinda miffed."[/color] She frowned to herself as she remembered the worst one, letting out a tiny sigh. [color=00BFFF]"And then there was the whole 'give and take' one, though. 'A simple gesture, chaste and true, holds more wishes than words ever do. Out the door and back at morn, a good luck charm with no shape and form yet it lingers in heat and memory too. Given and taken in willing exchange, only this can win the game.' Whoever wanted to see a kiss between a vampire and a mage had a really bad sense of humor,"[/color] She muttered, downing some of her drink with a frown. Realizing she had been talking for a while, she cleared her throat. [color=00BFFF]"We did a lot of challenges, but I don't think we even reached the one hundred percent mark since we failed some of them. Maybe next time, we'll do better, but he--the count did say one of the princess' objectives definitely happened for us. Whatever that means."[/color] [/indent][hr] [sub][right][/right][/sub]
