Her eyes, flickering with a hint of sadness. Daphnia said, "overall, you will get better, but your body will not be the same. Physically speaking, you will be weaker than average, and you will always be highly sensitive to mana. The issues your having now aren't from the scarring but from the fact that they're still raw. You should be able to walk with very little trouble as early as tomorrow, but it could take a few days."

I released a punt up sigh in relief, at least I'm not dying, looking at Daphnia I said “thank you for giving me some answers. But where does that leave me, I almost blacked out just from your mana?”

Letting out a sigh, she said, "Well it makes sense why your guardian sent you here. Coming from the High Cliff Province probably means your guardian was a Shaman. I'm sorry to say, even if your scars heal. The pathways that the mana took through your body. Will always be there, and that's where your physical weakness comes from. Even if you persisted on becoming a Shaman, with your condition, there would be a very little chance of you becoming a successful Shaman. But with your heightened mana sensitivity, you could make great strides in becoming a Magus. Only if you choose to take that path, it would also help you handle your mana sensitivity."

As Mancin shot me a look of sympathy, He said, "Dear your rambling again, I'm sorry Kyle, she gets carried away but she means well."

With a staunch look on her face, she said, "I was not rambling, I was trying my best to explain Kyle's circumstances to him. So he understands why I suggest he becomes a Magus."

Looking sheepish, he said, "Right. Ok. I was just worried that it's a bit much for him to take in, especially under these circumstances."

Before Daphnia could respond, I said, "It's okay, I asked for more information, and she gave it to me. Sure it's a little confusing, but it gives me a starting point to figure out what I should do."

Daphnia shot her husband a triumphant look as She said, "See dear, he appreciates my knowledge and guidance."

Mancin put his palm to his face mumbling, jokingly, he said "I give up, go along on your merry way. It's been a long day. I don't need the added stress of monitoring both you and Madison."

I feel somewhat bad, I've probably been a considerable drain on his time since I've got here. Being unconscious and all, then when I wake up. I'm physically speaking nearly completely crippled. Speaking of days, that reminds me to ask about the time, there were no windows in this room, so I couldn't tell what time of day it was. For that matter, I don't even know what year it is, if it weren't bad luck I'd curse my past self.

She said "I might be a little long-winded, but your dramatic and you wonder where Madison gets it from. But you were right about one thing."

Getting up and turning to look at me she said "Kyle here, just woke up and the best thing for him right now is rest. You hear me, young man, No gallivanting around and the less stress you put on your body, the better.

Looking up at her, I said, "Yes, Daphnia, that reminds me though what time is it anyway?"

I didn't want to reveal how off my memory was, but I figured it was okay to at least ask about the time.

Coming forward Mancin said " I completely forgot there were no windows in here, it must be pretty disorienting. Let me see here; it's just a little past seven at night. I hope that helps. Oh, that reminds me!"

As the ring on his right hand started to shine, and he reached towards me, a bracelet appearing in his hand. He said, "Here, your guardian said he forgot to give you this spatial focus before you left. So he sent it here right after you left, but you've been unconscious, so I've been holding on to it for you. I'm glad remembered to give it to you, it's well made."

Taking the offered focus in my hand, it felt light. I wanted to ask what it was and what I was supposed to do with it, but before I could.

With a knowing smile, Daphnia said "It's already been bound to you. Your guardian must have been working on it for a while. All you have to do is put it on, and you'll be able to use it.
