Claudia flipped through the pages of the book, skimming them as she searched for something easy for her to learn.

She hadn't been particularly tired, so she didn't get that much more sleep. She seemed to be the only one awake, anyway, so she figured she should look for a spell to try out to see if it worked.

There weren't that many star magic spells in the book, since there weren't that many who knew much about it. But there were a few, such as ones to create a small light source and a navigation spell that sounded a lot like the one she originally used to track them.

The one to create a light source seemed easy enough, especially to practice with because she didn't have anything to track. So Claudia stood up and put the book up against something, so she could look at it as she attempted.

She attempted it a few times, though it wasn't easy and she didn't really have any success, though she was getting closer.

Rayla woke up early, too, like she often did. Claudia smiled at her, though neither of them said anything. Callum and Ezran woke up a little while after, too.

"Claudia?" Callum asked, "When did you wake up?"

Claudia shrugged, since she wasn't really sure, and added, "I think I unlocked the star arcanum."

"Wait... Really?" Callum questioned, and then excitedly added, "That's great! Now you can start learning primal magic! What's the star arcanum like?"

Claudia sighed, "It's too early for this. I think I'm going to have to find another way to make hot brown morning potion without the use of magic..."

Since she had been awake for awhile, she was starting to get a little bit tired despite how much sleep she had gotten. It was frustrating.

"What's hot brown morning potion?" Ezran asked, out of curiosity.

Claudia sighed, leaning against a tree. She didn't feel up to explaining it at the moment, especially with how much she wanted to be drinking some right now. Rayla stood up too, and walked over towards them.

"Anyway," Rayla suggested, "We shouldn't be here for that long. Claudia's dad might come back again and we need to return the dragon prince as soon as we can."

"Yeah." Callum agreed, "We don't really have any way of fighting him, and he really doesn't like Rayla and Zym. Oh, and uh, Claudia, your dad showed up again."

"I know." Claudia said, though her voice was quiet since she was starting to get tired.

"But Rayla, you should probably get some rest. After Viren hit you with that magic..." Callum mentioned.

"I'm fine." Rayla told him, and glanced towards Claudia, "We're still close to returning Zym home, even if we're a little lost."

"Are we a little lost?" Ezran asked, "I mean, I wasn't keeping track of where we were running when we were getting away from Viren, but I think we're at least pretty lost."

"We'll figure it out." Rayla replied, as she walked towards Callum and took the map. She glanced at the trees, "I'll go see if I can figure out where we are. You guys stay here and keep an eye on Zym."

"Is that really a good idea?" Ezran questioned, "I mean, it seems like we've spent more time away from each other than with each other, and we keep getting separated."

"Ez has a point." Callum said, "We can't keep splitting up. It's only going to take longer to take Zym home if we do."

"But, I think most of the time we kinda had to." Claudia added in, "I mean, with with the elves and the dragons, and then my dad..."

"Claudia's right." Rayla replied, "We don't have much of a choice. But maybe, we should try to stay together this time, but I won't be long."

"Are you sure about this?" Callum asked, "I mean, going on your own?"

"Fine, then. Ez can come." She suggested, gesturing to Ezran, "But you should stay with Claudia."

"Okay." Callum hesitantly agreed, "At least Ezran will be with you."

"So... Rayla." Ezran smiled, starting a conversation after awhile of walking, "Any idea where we are?"

"Maybe." Rayla answered, looking at the map, "But I'm not sure. I was too distracted when we were fighting. I'm not sure I can figure it out."

"I'm sure you can." Ezran said, cheerfully, and pointed to something on the map, "If you want, I could ask an animal if they know where to find that."

"Do you think that would work?" Rayla asked.

"Maybe." Ezran replied, "If they know where we are."

Later, after they stopped for the night maybe a little bit closer to returning Zym home, Claudia went to practice primal magic again.

It was nice to be able to do magic again, and she honestly just wanted to attempt to learn every star magic spell she could, but she decided to focus on the one from earlier. Rayla came to watch, as Claudia attempted to create a light source.

She attempted it a few times, but it wasn't going particularly great so she decided to take a short break, "It's kinda funny, isn't it?"

"What is?" Rayla asked, approaching Claudia.

"Your primal source is the moon, and I just unlocked the star arcanum so, mine is kind of the stars." Claudia elaborated, glancing at Rayla briefly, smiling before she turned back and looked at the sky, "So we're kind of like the night sky."

"We kind of are." Rayla agreed, smiling back at her, "I'm glad you decided to do primal magic."

"You know, I kind of am too." Claudia said, "It's a little different, and I'll probably have to learn some different ways of doing things, like making pancakes or hot brown morning potion. But I did kinda rely on it too much."

"Yeah," Rayla smiled, before suggesting, "Maybe while you're here I could tell you about some recipes?"

She blushed when Claudia turned around, because she looked really, just... pretty, with how her hair flowed behind her as she did.

"Really?" Claudia asked, excited.

Rayla nodded, "Maybe you'll be able to find a way to make that 'hot brown morning potion' with something from Xadia?"

Claudia hugged Rayla, cheerfully, "Maybe you could tell me some things. Like, uh, what do elves eat? Soren told me you guys don't really drink..."

"We don't." Rayla replied.

"So, what do you guys eat?" Claudia questioned, "I mean, aside from the stuff that your friend gave us."

"Well..."
