- Hello?
- Hum h-hello, Nathan?
- Ah Patience, thanks for calling.
- Yes well, I certainly.. owe you that much f-for saving my life, al-although Im m not s-sure what you… expect me to…
- I talked to the others and I know there are more of those things out there.
- Those, uh th-things you say?
- You know what I mean. The Eaters? Your flesh eating kidnapers?
- Enough!
- …
- Sorry, habit. Hmm. Ass-ssuming you are.. right, what do you expect me to do exactly? Im… just a nurse.
- Just a nurse huh? By the way I talked to Sarah recently, she said that the doctors are all dazzled by her incredible recovery. They say she should have bled to death before she reached help, and that when I talked to her in the ER she should have been deeply asleep. They were amazed. A real miracle. You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
- Do not talk about miracles s-so lightly. Faith can d-do a… lot.
- Ah yes, but here faith had a helping hand. Have you noticed anything unusual about you recently? Related to your care of patients.
- . I.. Huh. I d…dont know where you are going with this.
- Where Im going is that there are other eaters out there and they need to be stopped. I’m trying to get a group together. If you can do what I believe you can do you would be a huge help to us.
- I appreciate what you are doing, Mr Nathan, I truly do, but I have a husband and five kids and more patients than I can shake a stick at and I will not drop all of this to go hunting demons with you. I am not a warrior.

- I should have worked on my pitch, I assumed that it would be easy to convince you guys.
- You c… You called Seren too?
- Yes she rejected my offer.
- I am s-sorry Mr Nathan but I c… really can’t… help you. My husband threw a f-fit when he opened your package. I am still trying to ca- to calm him down, he thinks I’m in trouble.
- Maybe he should learn boundaries, that package had your name on it, not his.
- I d’… I dont appreciate your lessons.
- Ok fine, whatever. Just remember that the eaters kidnapped you on purpose and there are still other out there. You do your things and keep this phone at hand for when they come back, ok? Because they will
- I… Yes. I will. Im sorry… Nathan. I can see you really want to help. I will pray for you, but I’m sure the police will protect us if those… Things… come back.
- We both know they are not equipped to protect you against that. Keep the phone at hand. Goodbye Patience.
- Wait! Are they.. Are those things demons?
- Not in the way you mean. If you change your mind you know how to reach me.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.
