Private - Geum-Hwa's Apprenticeship
Dec. 28th, 2019 09:12 pmAfter meeting Yeom Geum-Hwa by chance in London and seeing as he had the gift of Sight and not afraid of him, Elias did the impossible: he decided to take on an apprentice. With a bit of convincing by Geum-Hwa.
But Geum-Hwa would have to pass a very important test to see if he could even become a mage. Having the Sight, seeing fae creatures and the like didn't always mean you had magical ability. So Elias stopped into the first store on the way to the park that had candles and bought the most simple one he found, no matches or even a lighter. Elias had shifted his form into that of an average looking man with gold hair and eyes to avoid attention from the few humans still out and about.
"The test won't hurt" he said, answering his potential pupil's question as they walked down the sidewalk and then turned into the park. It was late afternoon and the chilly winter air was keeping people indoors, but fae loved every kind of weather, and even created it, it would not affect the test.
They found a picnic table and sat down, Elias pulling out and setting the candle down before sitting across from Geum-Hwa. "I'll call upon a Neighbor to aid you, but the rest is on you to politely ask them to help you light the candle. If they refuse, there is nothing that can be done, you cannot become a mage if the fae won't accept you, and they could quickly turn violent if you try to force or insult them. Understand?"
