I rose early to spend some time with my thoughts an enjoy the quiet solitude. The Greater Light was still shadowed by the night sky. I sat in my favorite chair in the library and began to consider my day. There is always much to do in the Realm, and one must take careful stock of the choices one is presented. There are always the many things needing repair or adjustment, undesirables to remove from the outlying areas of the Eternal Realm. And sometimes their removal from the very lands we own.

Then I slowly began remembering the crazy ways and things he would do to make me laugh and a soft smile replaced the fury. "Oni, perhaps you should remember his frame and that we above all else do have times of disregard and dissolution. We forget to draw upon those things which could help us and go our own way." I quickly turned around to 'see' the voice, but no one stood there. It was my conscience speaking out. "Okay, I will continue to believe to trust in this thing called friendship." "But couldn't I just.. just one little .. you know.. a 'spell of correction'. My fingertips glowed with anticipation.
