And from the heavenly glow of the moon upon her chakra did she realize inner peace and harmony; for it's only through the beauty of creation and not destruction can one find purpose.

-Book of Azar, Chronicles of a Wanderer-Verse 217.

Raven sat curled up in her usual corner of her Master's loft; a copy of Einstein's biography clasped gently under her thin, nimble fingers as she absorbed the contents of her book.

I know what you're thinking... a sorceress-in-training reading a book about a theoretical physicist? Even if his work was groundbreaking in the world of science, what use would it be for someone of magical origins?

When she was younger she once asked her teacher the same thing.

FLASHBACK

A nine-year-old Raven huffed angrily as she tried once again but failed to successfully conjure the teleportation spell, glaring at the apple that continued to mock her.

"I don't know what I'm doing wrong Master Rorek!" she growled squeakily, because it most certainly wasn't a whine. And pouting? She totally didn't pout.

Her Master laughed and walked up to the glowering child and ruffled her hair in an affectionate manner not noticing her growing ire as he began to explain

"Think of it as E=mc^2, just simply-"

"But Master! How is a stupid science equation going to-" Raven's interruption was cut off by a scolding glance from her Teacher which prompted her to wisely shut her mouth and wait for his explanation.

Rorek once again sighed and smiled kindly at his young ward "When I was younger... I once asked the same question, how could science-a product of man- be used to explain the arcane complexities of magic? I didn't realize the truth until a friend explained it to me this way" He smiled, remembering the lesson he would pass on to his apprentice.

"He told me ' Your ancestors called it magic, you call it science; where I come from they're one and the same(1). A complex balance between two differing ideas to create an entirely new yet familiar subject that we can manipulate and continuously learn.' It took me months to accept this concept and when I finally did I realized he was right." He smiled and looked down to see his young charge listening in rapt attention making him smirk, "You remember how I had you read all those science books when you were younger" a nod, "and do you remember how easily all those concepts and theories came to you?" a furrowed brow, before another nod in realization, this was good. "Exactly, it's because he was right, science and magic are at their most fundamental levels are the same thing. This is why it comes so easily to us to understand and why I'm having you learn it; now"

The older man kneeled beside her his hand hovering over the red apple "E=mc^2; Energy is equal to mass times the speed of light, squared. So we take the mass of the apple" He concentrated as the apple began to glow "and think of where we want it to go, say over to Jericho" he said, glancing at the young blonde boy across the foyer who was practicing guitar. "So we calculate the amount of energy needed and how fast we want it to go and- "his eyes and the apple glowed with his power before in a flash the apple appeared on top of his other apprentice's head, causing the boy to startle and the blackette beside him to giggle.

"Now you try"

END FLASHBACK

Ever since that day seven years ago Raven had taken that lesson to heart; she had practically devoured every book in her city's library to sate her hunger, and in the end she was a better magician for it.

She looked up just in time to see her friend and fellow apprentice Jericho making his way towards her as he conversed with Terra as she held Instructor's orange tabby. The blonde boy looked up as if her thought's spoke to him, and seeing his friend he smiled and waved.

Jericho had been a fellow disciple of Master Rorek's since they were both very small; and although he was a silent companion- an unfortunate circumstance of being mute- he was a very good listener and a loyal friend.

Terra had been a newer addition to their group; she was discovered by their master a few years ago when he was traveling and had been a close friend and confidant ever since. Raven watched as the two blondes conversed; Jericho signing excitedly and pleadingly as Terra frowned apologetically before walking away waving to both as she went to her room to study.

Jericho sighed, ruffling his curly locks before smiling and glancing at the blackette with mischievous green eyes.

Raven, decided she didn't like that look at all as the mute apprentice stalked towards his unsuspecting victim.

All it took was a look for the girl to crumble.

"Jericho! Stop with the green eyes! I know you!"

Jericho, if anything seemed to make his evergreen eyes even greener and wider as he looked pleadingly at the enchantress; his lower lip trembling in a pout that would make a puppy proud.

Raven never stood a chance

Sighing, she never could resist his stupid face like the others, she looked up imploringly at him fixing him with a playful glare.

"Fine, fine; where are you dragging me off to this time?"

Meanwhile, Elsewhere...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In a rundown tavern sat a man elegantly draped across a wingback chair like a king would take to a throne; his face concealed by his wide-brimmed fedora and the shadows as he rolled a scarred silver dollar across his knuckles.

"Do they suspect anything?"

A figure appeared in the shadows, a distinctly feminine voice calling out from the shadows.

"No master, they don't suspect a thing. That fool Rorek has become old and careless it wont be long now until the ritual is to begin."

"And the battery?"

"Elusive as ever, but I am working on a tracking spell to locate it"

The coin stopped as the man looked up, his once beautiful face grotesquely scarred as his argent eyes coldly studied the figure hidden in the shadows.

"If you find it what will you do?"

They looked up and with barely concealed glee, answered simply

"Take it."
