Marten shrugged. "So you believe that the magic willed it into existence? How is that any easier to believe than some powerful spirit?" He leaned back, placing his head against the tree tenderly. "Magic stems from life, from belief. As long as the people believe the magic is at their core, it will be there. If the people lose their faith, we will lose our power. At least, in theory."
He then addressed Constance. "I've heard many explanations for the elements, but none that satisfied me. Some say they're natural, others say the will of the gods. Personally, I think it's just the excess magic burning itself out, like the dieing flickers of a fire. But I have no proof." He sighed. "The only proof I have that magic has no will is that I've never seen it do anything it wasn't cast to do. I've never had a spell talk back to me, never seen a summoning with self will, never heard of a spell turning back on it's master without a logical reason. Until I see the magic acting on it's own, it remains nothing more than a tool to me."

"Yeah, uh, night?" said Alpheus. However, instead of finding a bed, Alpheus turned and climbed up the highest (still standing) tree he could find. It was a challenging, if fun climb. He was climbing a massive Rowan tree. It had to have been magically enhanced, as no natural Rowan grew this tall. When he reached the top, he was rewarded with a wonderful view of the forest. A cool, sweet night breeze blew all around him, now picking up, now dropping down. He could see the moon casting it's queer reflections all around, and reflecting a myriad of times in the rippling lake not too far away. "Perfect," he sighed. The Etzale contentedly nestled against a branch to wait the night out here.

((Ok, everyone's essentially asleep. ZOMG TIME SHIFT!))
When Mirado awoke his eyelids were still heavy from fatigue and refused to open, or rather he did not care enough to use what little energy it took to open them. Instead he sat, leaning against the tree, in darkness. A soft wind blew over the clearing, lightly rustling the leaves above. He assumed it was early morning, as the woods were still quiet and still.
Mirado finally opened his eyes. The sky above was grey and calm. He managed to get up on his feet, and brush off the dirt and grass from his pants. He stumbled over to the old campfire, which had burned out in the night. All that was left were ashes and black fragments of wood which had survived the flames. Mirado kicked several sticks on top of the debris, and with a quick wave of his hand the fire emerged in full glory.
Mirado rummaged around the inside of his red jacket until he pulled out a small haversack. From within this haversack, he pulled out a cloth bundle containing several strips of bacon, which was a remainder of a purchase he had made at the last village. Grabbing some nearby sticks and sharpening them to a point, he skewered each piece of bacon and set it up over the fire. Mirado took a bite of a piece of bread and put the haversack back inside his jacket. It had been a while since he had had an actual breakfast.
