 While Cyrus is fixing the mess he caused...again..... from his overly hasty arrival Zephyr enters the classroom quietly. It's obvious by her posture that something is wrong, or at least not completely right. Tapping the apparently snoozing Myuler on the arm she bends and whispers something to him, before looking over her shoulder at Cyrus. It's obvious by her glance that she doesn't want the kid to hear what she's got to say and fortunately what she did say to Myuler got his attention. He stood, took Zephyr by the elbow and ushered her outside, calling over his shoulder to Cyrus,

"When your done cleaning your mess up, open the study book you ~should~ have remembered to bring to page three hundred and ninety seven. Read the six chapters and I'll quiz you when I come back."

There was nearly sixty pages contained in those six chapters so it should keep Cyrus well occupied until Myuler could return. Once outside the archmage looked at Zephyr questioningly, but she only shook her head.

"You have to see this to believe it. I'm not sure even I do but.... well it would explain a few things that have happened of late...."

Cryptic but then, Zephyr wasn't always the one to be clear when voicing her thoughts. Myuler ususally understood though, which is what made them such a good, if odd looking couple. Once away from the classroom she picked up her pace, dragging Myuler along with her until they reached their home. Pulling him inside she waited until his eyes adjusted to the dim light that came from a single mage light. All the curtains had been pulled and there was an odd rasping noise coming from one corner of the room.

Leaving Myuler near the door Zephyr walked slowly over to the figure that was shrouded by shadow and gently led the person out into the dim light. The figure trembled, though it wasn't fear or cold. It was from age or so it appeared and as it..... no SHE came into the light Myuler could see why. The woman's wings were withered and shrunken against her back and waist length milk white hair flowed down between them nearly to her knees. She wore a simple grey robe, one that outlined the skeletal thinness of her body and she moved incredibly slow.

Once in the light she lifted her head, filmy violet eyes gazing at Myuler for a moment before tears trickled down her wrinkled cheeks. She sagged against Zephyr and the younger woman helped the crone sit in the armchair that was only a few steps to the left of where they were. The woman seemed so small in the chair and it took several moments before her gasping eased enough for her to speak. Her words were punctuated by several pauses in which she gasped for air.

"How...long. ....How long was....I...gone?"

With her head bowed she couldn't see Myuler's face but she could still sense faintly what he was feeling. Shock and surprise were the strongest that came to her and it drew a grimace that might once have passed for a smile to her face. After all these years she finally managed to surprise the old mage..... though the thought that it was probably the last thing she would ever do flickered in her mind. She was so incredibly tired.....
