Aldric Mulgrew scanned the scroll again. He mouthed the words and mimicked the motions being described as he read. Well, the spell seemed simple enough. He laid the scroll down. He focused on the apple on the table in front of him. He uttered the words to the spell and made the motion. The apple did nothing. Aldric frowned. Did he do it wrong? He scanned the spell again. No, that should have been right. He glanced back to the apple. Suddenly, the apple began drying up and withering until it was barely the size of the core. Ah! There was a delay. Aldric wet his quill and jotted down a note about the delay. This would not be good for an instant need. Not until he mastered it.

The small brass clock next to him chimed. He glanced at it. It was late. Much later than he though it was. He rolled the scroll up and replaced the tie. He set it on the shelf with the rest of his current studies. Tomorrow, he would look into having Harlan re-organize the shelves. They were in need of dusting, too. His apprentice was fine kid. He learned well. The boy was just not as motivated as Aldric would like. Young men without a little ambition worried him. Aldric felt as though it was a waste of his time if the boy did not go on to achieve something. It didn't even have to be anything grand or even great. Owning a magic shop would suffice. Harlan just struck him as a young man who would go through the ten years of wizard training only to be a cabbage farmer. This training was an investment to be used.

Aldric stood up and stretched. He was too tired to mull over his dreams for Harlan anymore. He had walked from his study to the front entryway when the doorbell rang. Aldric's eyebrows raised. Keena's breath, who is calling this late? Aldric felt a touch nervous and curious. He readied a spell, just in case. He approached the door and opened it. He recognized Ronald, a local courier. Ronald smiled and waved.

"Good evening, Ronald."

"Good evening, Aldric. Letter from the council."

A letter from the council? Aldric was both relieved and yet more concerned. He nodded and paid Ronald what he was due including a tip. After saying goodbye, Aldric closed the door, staring intently at the letter. He stood directly over the candle burning by the door. Oh, dear. This isn't good. He could not understand why two people who break such a deep, well-established law. Inter-marriage and...breeding... among the magical lines has been forbidden since ancient times. It was even frowned upon to be seen in regular, intimate company with one from the other side. But to make a child? He shook his head. Now there would only be pain for them. He grimaced. Taking the life of a child would not please him, but it must be done.

Aldric plodded off to bed. He awoke early the next morning. It was good that he didn't sleep much. Others might have been off-set by the lack of eight hours of sleep. He packed a heavy-duty backpack, preparing for a great journey. He left a note for Harlan when he came in today. He was leaving him to clean and organize the study. It would take several days. After he was done, he was to report to the council hall in town. They would see that he's studies continued while Aldric was gone. Once he was satisfied that all of his loose ends were tied, he set of at a decent pace to check in with the council before he left. The revelation awaiting him there was one he never saw coming.

The morning sun hadn't even risen above the horizon, but Mildred was already up. Early to bed and early to rise...Sorta. She wasn't much for sleeping to be honest. The dreams that sometimes came were not the best so she always tried to get as little sleep as possible. For once it came in handy as she opened the door just in time before the courier could knock on it. She didn't know his name. Didn't know most people to be honest other than by sight. She knew his face, but that was all. "Yes?"

"Letter from the Council miss."

Reaching out for it, she quickly scanned it, cursing under her breath as she did so. Of all the stupid things someone could do...This was beyond even that. Marriage could possibly be forgiven. While it wasn't a high chance, at least there was a slim one. But to bear a child out of that wedlock? Unspeakable. The lines should never be mixed! All that magical energy in one soul...Who knows what damage could be done! Handing the man his tip, she quickly went back inside to prepare.

She didn't have much, preferring to live with only what was necessary. Which turned out to be helpful in times like this. Her only concern was for her indoor plants which she toted outside so they could at least have a mild chance of surviving. This adventure was by no means gonna be an easy one and therefore it might be some time till she came back. Packing everything else she could carry (and in some cases, wearing multiple layers of things she couldn't stuff in her bag), she was ready just as the sun peeked over the horizon.

Entering the council room, she knew she was mildly late already. Or early. She couldn't quite decided as their was already someone ahead of her. While there might have been two main lines of magic, there was just one Council. She suppose it was to prevent war from breaking out and to make sure all lawbreakers of the magical nature was dealt with fairly. After all, it was hard for a wizard or sorcerer to be shown mercy for a crime if not everyone belonged to the same side.

Either way, she would wait her turn to check in, even as one of the members of the Council noticed her and beckoned her forward to stand beside the male.

Aldric waited in line patiently. He whistled a low, happy tune quietly. He loved coming in to the Council early. It was so quiet and peaceful. Not like later in the day. This place could be intense when things got going. For now, the first shift was slowly drifting in. Almost all had a cup of coffee or invigorating tea close by. Someone walked by with a cup of dragonroot tea. Aldric caught a whiff of it and sniffed. He sighed and took in a big inhale. That smelled so good!

He reached into one of the small pouches that hung from his belt. He pulled out a class vial of ground dragonroot and started scanning the room for a teapot. Just when he spotted it, a woman entered and stood in the line behind him. He mulled for a minute about giving up his place in line to get some tea. He started groping for the metal teacup that hung from the side of his pack. He was busy doing this when the woman stepped up next to him.

Hmm? He paused and looked at her. It was then that he realized that that someone on the other side of the desk had motioned at not just her but him as well. He suddenly relaxed and looked embarrassed that he hadn't been paying attention. The receptionist smiled at him politely, not wishing to make the scene worse for him. She stamped two pieces of paper and handed them to the two people standing there.

"You're headed for the Department of Regulation and Enforcement." She pointed to an archway on the left with a hallway beyond it. "Its the last room on the right. The High Enforcer will be ready to speak with you very shortly."

Mildred knew she shouldn't be surprise, but she still was. The department of Regulation and Enforcement was gonna brief them themselves? She knew interbreeding was a serious crime, but serious enough for them personally? She thought they were just gonna go to a briefing room, get more info and then be on their way. But if the department wanted to do it...For the first time, she really started to wonder just who had broken this law.

Not speaking much, she nodded at the receptionist and started to walk down the hallway. Her pace wasn't exactly a jog, but at the same time, no one could accuse her of being slow. She wanted to get this over and done with. Wanted to be back home. She didn't want to stick around for longer than necessary. The faster they found this couple and child, the faster things could go back to being normal.

For her part, she didn't try to make any sort of small talk to the male with her. She figured they would have plenty of time to talk on the journey. Not to mention, we will probably be sick of each other by the journey's end. It might even be a case of making sure we have no weapons on us. Enchanted or otherwise.
