While in their service I served as her bodyguard. When they were sent to Venza by Lord Ratchkan for safety, I went along as part of the escort.He pauses to take a sip of wine.Lady Atchka showed an affinity for magic at an early age, though she was nearly a human teenager before a Wizard was brought in to teach her. I had been, at her Mother's insistence, assigned as her personal guard. Which meant that I was present for her lessons. Things like that...He gestures toward the ceiling where the lightshow had been just moments prior.Filled her with wonder. She learned that one faster than any other, and when she was bored, she would cause colors to come forth, and just watch them in wonder.He pauses for a breath, reflective.As a guard I was supposed to remain detached, but she liked to talk. In fact, one day she caught me reciting to myself some words that she had been taught for another spell, I don't even know what it was. I just liked the words. She corrected me on one of the words, laughing. That's when she said I should consider learning magic myself. But, now she is safely in her family home in Venza, they have all the guards they need, so I rarely see her anymore. She became like a sister. Guess you could say she was the third family I have had.He takes another sip of wine.She still sends me messages from time to time, via the house staff or other means. Lady Podera, it seems, has the old house in disorder with her, shall we say, strong sense of self assurance.The Ranger smiles and sips the wine again. He looks up when Maui returns and shakes his head as the druid departs.That poor toad.</blockquote>
