Just the idea of a bunch of children hanging on to him -- begging for information about -- whatever!" She laughed again. "I went to see him," she continued, chuckling, "because another espiri, Geros Haram, had an interesting idea. In Junder, where I used to live, we occasionally have basilisks hatch out of chicken eggs. In short, Geros wondered if most magical creatures might arise from natural creatures, and contariwise if all types of natural creature might bring forth a specific type of magical creature. Mages would be the magical form of humans, Unicorns might arise from goats, and so forth." [ref: Magical Creatures] Mira shrugged. "Moranthas was more interested in what I could tell him about the magical plants and animals of Junder than he was in exploring this theory. He did put me in touch with young Harmaket, though. He's an ordinary scholar who became interested and is now researching the matter in more detail." ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
