'I wasn't too much older than you are now, but my master was ancient. 'I remember my first bond quest,' said the master, his eyes far away.

He couldn't let this truly be their last hour. He must get his master to help him think a way out of this. The apprentice held his knees and rocked back and forth on the rough stone, causing the leg irons to clink against one another. The beetle paused at the lip of the bowl, its antennae wiggled briefly, and then it waddled off into the darkness of the cell. He watched as a beetle made its way across the stone floor to the bowl of gruel. 'And the last one you'll ever take,' the master said quietly, as if far away. It was a journey like no other I've ever taken.' We weren't just sightseeing, boy, if that's what you thought.' That's why we spent all last summer traveling across Kephalai-to make you familiar with many, many places, so that you could form a connection with them. But even wizards must become familiar with a given land to call up its mana reserves. Not everyone can sense or tap into that energy-only those with magical aptitudes, such as wizards. Mana is a wellspring of mystic energy that surges through a location, providing the raw fuel required for our magic.

We can reestablish our mana bonds from here, can't we?' 'But count your blessings-they've left us fresh gruel.' They've severed our connections to the land, meaning we have no access to mana. There must be a way to break out of this cell!' We'll be executed within the hour, master,' said the apprentice.
