Day 60 (S45)
Day 60: 1 day after the Cylinder of Liquid was consumed.
The days locked in Tower 5 went quickly for some, and grueling for others. Blanke continually wished he could be watching Lloyd in his battles. Neely practiced her harp, and still gave Blanke a hard time about his mediocre magic skills. Alice counted her coins, sorting them between countries and counting them - a mixture of Pennislovican gold, Asmeryan gold, and Lloyd's gold were all in her pouch. Rina juggled between visits with Agronoch and Darrian whenever either of them could show up. Agronoch would show up on her bed at random, sometimes even when she was in it, just to talk to her about unimportant things for a minute or two at a time.
"Enoch, any chance you can stay long enough to meet my kid? Or show up when he's here?"
"Afraid I can't guarantee that right now, but be patient. Soon I will be able to stay for longer periods of time," he said as he disappeared once again.
Blanke cast Dancing lights over his head every morning, and tried to get Neely to believe he had the same kind of magic she did with his flute.
"Ha, nice try, Rina," Neely said.
"Try? Try what?"
"You cast Dancing Lights on Blanke to get in on the joke."
"I didn't cast anything."
"Yeah, sure... right."
"Neely!" Blanke yelled as she walked away from him, "I. Am. MAGICAL!"
"Nice try, Blanke. I'm going to bed now."
"Look at what you did!" Blanke yelled at Rina.
"What... I... did?"
"Because of your Dragon's little puzzle, now Neely doesn't think I'm magical!"
"Volvagia did something? I'm so lost."
Blanke just shook his head and walked away, despair flooding his face.
