The daemon knows exactly what buttons to push, perhaps it is our minds being connected. In previous days this comment will have me crying but now it is but a mere beacon to my inability, I cannot see the astral the closest I could project was to change into a bird and go asense he astral. Expert say that even if I somehow learn to sense the astral world, I could never project like a mage. This is a bit frustrating, but I feel that I should focus on the things I do know how to do, I accept the mental picture from the daemon and ask
“Is she alert? restrained in any way?”
I cast the shape change spell to transform Yelena into an Octopus, she is already in the water and is probably very cold. Scorn is a sign of weakness as it is evident that in some aspect of magic I am stronger or more senior than the daemon. I can command him, and he does serve me.
Summoning came very natural to me, only marginally more complex than walking, or talking.
I am a man of words, and summoning is a bit like bargaining. I am to convince a daemon that agreed once to serve me to stop whatever it is he is doing and come to my aid. It is not about power, there is little I can do to compel an intelligent and stronger than myself being into doing my bidding. It is like haggling, like motivating or negotiating.
I practice summoning from a very young age, I do not even remember when I started. I think that my first imaginary friend was a minor daemon and my initial services were very mundane in nature. Paint with me, Play with me and sometimes even help me fall asleep. Our connection clearly is more about what I am than about what I can do, we are related somehow.
How did we grow so far apart? Perhaps the Daemon does not like the kind of man I turned up to be? Daemons were very polite with me when I was young. How come our relationship degraded so much?
I mentally smile at the daemon,
“ There is much that I owe our connection, Daemon.
I am an adult for meta humanity, but still a lost infant in the world of magic and there is much I cannot do. I hope to learn more in time. I respect and appreciate you as my strongest ally. It saddens me to sense this kind of bitterness from your side. I myself am very frustrated, with my actual skill in the realm of magic. I wanted to know so much more“ Partly to himself, partly to the Daemon Marco thinks
“True power has to be invisible, if she was so good you could not sense anything out of the ordinary with her. Like a sun she is carrying a beacon in her aura. A beacon that places her in danger, Thanks for the heads up about her capabilities and I hope that you would like my way of doing things.I focus my mind and issue the second service to the best of my ability:
“Establish the mind link with Yelena and sustain it until I say otherwise and the third service is to relay to me anything that Yelena thinks toward you and to Yelena everything that I think toward her.” That way, I can be linked to the happening - communicate with Yelena and relay her messages to the entire group. Despite my lack of abilities I feel very proud and creative in my ability to work around the limitations of magic and orchestrate this thing. Pride that I cannot share with many people as they are unaware of the limitations in the first place.
