Not far from the church, a strange man materialized. He was shrouded in a cloak but the aura that surrounded him was far from evil...just, different. He wasn't native to this peninsula and he didn't even live here, but he appeared when he was needed. Who he was or what he did was a mystery, unless he was visiting you.
Approaching the church he walked in; churches were never locked, their doors open to all who needed healing. His shoes made soft thuds against the wooden floors of the church, and he looked around.
"Hello? Is a Seraphita Gillespie around? I've been sent to come see her," he called out, his voice echoing in the lofty room, waiting for someone to assist him. It was true that he could materialize right in front of her if he wished but past experiences have taught him that doing that usually terrified people.

Before she could sit down on a nearby chair, she heard a voice from the main entrance. The priest was busy working, so she decided to help him instead. ”Hello, I’m Seraphita. Did you need me for something?” This man looked suspicious with the black cloak he was wearing. Could he really be trusted? He didn’t seem like too much of a threat, but Seraphita kept her distance just in case. |

When the woman in question came out the man smiled. This was definitely the girl he was looking for; the aura of a magic user radiated from her. She would do well with her task...it was something the man could just sense.
"Here, let's sit down," he said, sitting on a church bench and inviting her to sit down as well. They wouldn't do their work in the sanctuary...no, that would be disrespectful to the goddess. Maybe they could go to the courtyard, or something along those lines.
"I know this is confusing to you, but I've come to visit with you to help you advance your magic skills to the next level," the man explained with a smile. "Tell me, dear Seraphita, what magic are you best at? What do you specialize in?"

She had nothing to be afraid of. Smiling, she sat down next to him on a bench. "I know this is confusing to you, but I've come to visit with you to help you advance your magic skills to the next level." Her magic powers? She hadn’t used them much because in her opinion, she really didn’t have the use for them except in dire emergencies. But an upgrade was always nice. ”Um… I do excel at healing, so improving my healing powers would be nice.” She was very good at baking, but that didn’t have anything to do with magic. Sometimes Seraphita was so silly. |

When she said healing powers, the man began to think. It was always difficult to think up a task for the lower levels, because it was so easy to make things too difficult. However, when he felt like he had made a good decision on her task, he stood up and led her out into the yard behind the church.
When they arrived at the yard, he directed her attention to a nest that was in a tree. The faint chirping of baby birds could be heard but, not before long, a small figure ended up falling out of the nest and onto the ground.
"Your task is to heal the baby bird," he explained gently. "You must do so quickly, before the mother bird returns, and carefully, as young animals are fragile. You may begin."
(Please explain all of her movements for healing the bird in the next post! Thank you!)

[atrb=align,right][atrb=style,width:320,btable][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style,border-bottom: 1px solid #707070;] Leave the toy monkey here and go | Seraphita followed the man outside and stared at a nest that was up in a tree. Suddenly, a baby bird tried to fly but fell down to the ground instead. "You must do so quickly, before the mother bird returns, and carefully, as young animals are fragile. You may begin." Okay, Seraphita could do this! Walking over to the injured baby bird, she picked it up gently, since babies were fragile. ”Aww, your poor birdie. Don’t worry, I’ll heal you and you can fly back to your nest.” The bird stared at the nun and chirped softly before Seraphita could pet it gently. When she did, she gently patted the bird on its head and stroked it. Suddenly, a green light appeared over its wing and disappeared after a few seconds, and the bird was chirping loudly. ”Are you all healed? Time to fly back to your brothers and sisters. Do so before your momma comes back!” The bird chirped at Sera as a way of saying thanks before flying back to its nest. |

The man smiled as Seraphita walked over to the bird calmly, scooping it up into her hands with care to not injure it further. He had been worried the bird falling and getting hurt would be too much for her (because it had been too much for some poor souls in the past) but she executed her task with efficiency and grace.
It was clear the young magic user was ready to move to the next level. The smile of the man's face widened as the little bird flew up to the nest, and he walked over to Sera.
"That was marvelously done," he congratulated her, stepping in front of her before raising a single hand in the air. Closing his eyes a slight aura appeared around Seraphita for just a few seconds, and when it disappeared he lowered his hand and opened his eyes.
"I must be on my way now. Much more magic users to go test, and all. I trust that I'll be seeing you again soon, Seraphita!" he said and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.
CONGRATULATIONS! SERAPHITA HAS REACHED LEVEL TWO IN THE SKILL OF MAGIC!
