I spent most of the day training the young Draconic, whose name I learned to be Askos. He is even more talented than either Erica or Bug was, and has the potential to surpass me as a healer if he remains dedicated to the path. Erica also could have surpassed me if she didn’t seek a more martial path.

I taught him the basics, because where else would you start. I taught him how to fix skin and muscle, Lace was incredibly helpful with that. Mostly to judge how competent he is and how easily he takes to the material. I’ll go over less specific stuff starting tomorrow.

While teaching the kid we talked for a little while, and he accidentally let it slip that he has memories of a previous life. He didn’t actually say it, we were communicating telepathically at the time, but still. I don’t know why but he was worried about telling people that he had memories from before he was born.

Anyway, his memories are a lot more detailed than anyone else's I have come across. With the benefit of telepathy, he showed me bits of his previous life with a level of detail most people can’t muster up for memories of their current life.

He was a farmer in a world that lacked magic, something I hadn’t even considered the possibility of. All of my Ents come from worlds with magic. I wasn’t even completely certain that there were worlds outside of this one, it would have been reasonable for all the places my children have described in their memories to exist in this world.

He showed me memories of wonders like massive towers carved from glass, massive sprawling cities without walls to protect them, and giant metal birds that flew through the sky. He also talked about things like teleporters that somehow don’t rely on magic to operate, though he never saw one in person.

He gave me a story about how he struggled every day just to get by and to try and make his life better, only to die young. Now that he has access to magic he is determined to make himself someone important. I’m just glad that he is deciding to continue on his legacy.

At the end of the day, I gave him something I made while experimenting the other day. A ring that can teleport the user, with some restrictions. With Requiem, I can make teleportation devices that are useable by almost anyone, and by making them only work in my forest I am able to give the user a lot of control over where they teleport to. I told him it was to keep him safe just in case, but no one here would hurt someone with the last name of Hornmark in this city and any wild creatures that would be capable of it have long since been integrated into society. No, the real reason I gave it to him was just in case someone tried to stop him from learning from me, he could just teleport away.

Other than that I was approached by one of the scholars today. Apparently, they are getting a couple angry letters from important people about how much they have been helping me out, something about how they shouldn’t put that much effort into an outsider. Long story short they asked me to write a book that they could add to their libraries, in exchange I would be granted an honorary position in their order. I wouldn’t have any responsibilities but they might occasionally ask for my help with something that I specialize in, which they already do sometimes so it’s not a big deal. In exchange they would be able to continue to offer me help in the same way that they have been, so nothing would really change. Honestly, it just sounds like a lot of politics, but I’m not opposed to writing a book.

As for my downtime, I tried to spend it with Tiddol but I walked in on her having some, let say quality time, with her assassin turned slave. I left before they realized I was there, at least I think I did. Anyway, I ended up spending my downtime helping Azrezel out with a minor problem in a new design he had for his undead.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
