“Interesting your stamina has gone up, and your mana capacity has grown, but you haven’t refilled your mana. Good, good.”
“Grandfather, why is conservation so important?”
“Think of mana like water. If you use all of the water in an area, even when it rains, there will be a drought in the surrounding areas. Take a god level dragon who is so large his head is larger than I am, if he were to fill his massive mana pool all at once, he could deplete an entire planet of mana in seconds. In Erameya’s case, too much mana is killing her. Maintenance is also a part of cultivation. You don’t want your mana pool to ever get completely empty.”
“Erameya, can you show me my screen like yours? With all the levels and descriptions?”
“I don’t know, Angus, if you give me permission to see your extended character sheet, maybe.”

“I think your screen hates me.”
“I think it knows you. Your highest skill is arrogance.”
“Children! This is very interesting. Now we have a comparison. Angus put all of your available points in perception. This says your race is human and beast. You should be able to shift. I think you will be able to as you learn to cultivate. I don’t see meditation as a skill, you’ll have to gain it to be a true cultivator. We have time to work on improving your skills. Okay, Erameya, we can return to the castle. Today has been amazing. I think if we come here to train when we need to, and I keep an eye on you, we will be all right. I will send Tutu to Andrew and let him know you will see ambassadors tomorrow.
Tintreach and Ailish were happy to be home. Erameya made sure they had food and water then went to bathe and get some rest.
“M’lady, is there anything else you need mended or cleaned?” Delphy asked as she dried Erameya’s hair.
“Yes. I want leggings.”
“Leggings?”
“Yes, like tight drawers that go the whole way to my ankles.”
“Instead of drawers?”
“On top of drawers. I want several pairs of leather and a few of cotton.”
“I also want pockets in my tunics and leggings.”
“Pockets?’
“I’ll show the seamstresses what I mean.”
“I’m going to meditate for a while. Unless it is an emergency, I’d like to be alone until dinner.”
“Yes, M’lady.”
Erameya sat in the lotus position on the sheep skin rug next to her bed and started to meditate. She made sure she wasn’t taking in any more mana, then started back at her foundation awakening. She felt for the mana current in her body, focusing on her spirit instead of her body. It took her a while but soon she felt the difference. The mana in her spirit was different than that in her body. She had an epiphany. Erameya was her body. Amy Westfield was her spirit. To cultivate her spirit, she had to be only Amy. Amy focused on the mana in her spirit. It was still drawing in magic at an alarming rate. She stopped gathering mana and started circulating. Her spiritual nodes or chakra seemed to be grinding open.
“Amy, Daddy’s home, come to dinner.” Amy’s mother called out the back door of her home in Denver, Colorado. Amy jumped up, dusted the sand off of her and ran in to give her parents a hug. …
“Amy, could you stay in the classroom for a moment?” All of the other students ran out to recess. “Amy. I just got a call from the office. An officer came and let us know that your parents were hit by a drunk driver and are in the hospital. Would you like the officer to take you there?”
“Yes. Please.” Amy sat in shock as an officer took her to the hospital and to the ICU to see her parents. Her mother was awake, but unable to talk. Her father was in a coma and hooked up to machines and tubes. “Mommy?” Amy cried. Her mother patted her head as she cried next to her mother’s bed. …
“Amy, help your father into the living room.” Amy was sad every time she saw the pain her father was in. They were not hurting for money but both of her parents had side effects of the crash. The money paid by the rich boy’s father didn’t fix the pain. She was glad neither of her parents used pain meds or alcohol to cope, but she wished she could do more for their pain. …
“Are you Amy Westfield?” The police officer at her dorm room door asked. “Yes. Can I help you?”
“Can you tell me if your parents had any enemies?”
“Had?”
“Slip of the tongue, your parents were killed in what appears to be an arson fire, early this morning. It looked like your mother was trying to drag your father out. The electricity was off and there was a cellular signal blocker on the front lawn.”
“I don’t know of any enemies, maybe the father of the drunk kid that hit them ten years ago, but that was settled out of court.” …
“Amy, you have to take some time off. I know this plant cannot run without you but you put in more hours than any other employee.” The plant manager was in her shop. As and mechanical engineer, Amy knew the plant couldn’t run one day without her, she didn’t even have an assistant. “What do you need to stop spending so much time here?”
“Competent help.”
“Hire someone and take two weeks off. If we have to shut down for two weeks that’s our problem.” …
“I am so excited! I have two weeks off and a ten-day tour of castles in the UK.”
“Why do you want to see piles of crumbled stone?” Claudine asked.
“They are so beautiful, and I love history.” …
“Amy are you still having fun?” Hilda asked.
“So much.” I love castles even more since seeing so many. The hike to Dunnottar was enchanting and the ruins even better. Eilean Donan was as breathtaking as I expected. Now we are touring Holyrood. This place has so much history and mythology surrounding it. I can’t wait to see it… Watch out!” Amy screamed.
Amy was pulled out of her memory. And found she was actually screaming. Her chakras were flowing with mana that was becoming purer and purer. She noticed she had taken in a bit of mana while meditating. She directed the mana into each chakra and into each limb. She directed it to all areas of her spirit. She felt full of life and like herself for the first time since waking up. She again made sure she was not taking in any more mana. She compressed the mana into her pseudo-core binding the spiritual and physical mana together. She used only her spiritual mana and created a mana ball and dispelled it. She then started again with her foundation awakening. After she had gone through the entire cultivation process several times, she pulled up her character sheet.

“Seventeen points, if it were eighteen, I could put three in each attribute so I’ll put two in strength and three in the rest.” She then did yoga and rested.
After dinner Erameya met with the seamstresses. She helped them how to make pattern for a basic pair of leggings with a draw string waist. She then showed them how to make several different kinds of pockets both on her leggings and her tunics. While she was there, she designed herself a leather vest with hidden pockets on the inside. Once the seamstresses had finished the first pair of leggings, she tried them on. They were a little tight in the rear and little too wide on the ankles. They fixed the seams and added some outside pockets. They used the pattern and designed a pair of leather leggings including pockets and a button flap. She showed them how to put belt loops on the leggings and left to talk to the black smith. She walked out of the upper bailey into the lower bailey where the shops were. She met with the blacksmith and the tanner and had them help her design a belt buckle and a belt. They also gave some suggestions for the vest and leggings. The tanner’s son decided to try to make him some leggings and she told him about carpenter pants. She showed him an image out of magic but forgot to make the fly with buttons. He and the blacksmith’s son got intrigued with the zipper and snaps. They asked how they worked and she was able to show them by making a zipper and a snap out of magic. The boys decided to make them. She was glad she had done a research paper on zippers and was able to explain the mechanics to them. She told them to try with a larger version before they tried to make it small enough for clothing. While she was describing how snaps worked, she looked up to see Angus looking at himself in the tanner’s crafter sign. He pulled the rings holing his hair back and tossed his blond wavey hair like a lion tossing his mane. The gaggle of girls following him sighed or swooned at his antics. Each on trying to react in a way to catch his attention. He then pulled his hair back and expertly pulled his ponytail through the rings. Erameya was shocked at his following but remembered the movie and music stars back before she died and their inability to have a private life because of their fame. She wondered if the crowd of girls were attracted to him or just fans. He seemed to feed off of the attention and performed beautifully for the crowd. He looked into the tanner’s shop and seemed to see her for the first time. He smiled and sauntered in.
“I didn’t know a man could saunter so beautifully. I thought people only acted like you in the movies or in romance novels. Are you abandoning your fans?”
“I honestly didn’t understand a word you said, as usual. Did you say I act romantic?”
“No. you remind me of an actor who portrayed Thor. I just didn’t know people acted like that in real life.”
“You saw an actor depict the Mighty Thor? He was brave.”
“No, just arrogant.”
“I don’t personally know Thor, but I believe, if the actor were arrogant enough, he might not kill him.”
“I keep forgetting where I am.” Erameya muttered.
“Hey, what is this?” Angus picked up the sketch of carpenter pants. Can you make me a pair but with this,” he pointed out a pocket on the upper leg, “long enough to hold my dagger and this sturdy enough to hold a war hammer, and a flail loop here?” he pointed to the waist of the other side.
“You use a war hammer?’ Erameya asked.
“No, but I’ll learn. I just to wear it around. Can you imagine how nice this garment will be in battle? What do you call it?”
“Pants?” the tanner’s son said hesitantly.
“Why pants?”
“Trousers?” Erameya suggested.
“Better, but why plural?”
“They cover both legs.”
“I’ll accept that. Will you, young tanner, make me a pair of trousers?”
“We are looking into making this closure system do you want to wait until it is finalized?”
“A pair with a button closure will work for now. I will want to try your new closure methods later.”
“Let me get my sister so she can help us design your trousers. She will help with the sewing. She sews the leather for the castle seamstresses and tailors.”
“She may be busy. I just put in a large order. Do tell her about your new closures so she can use them on my leggings.”
“Leggings?” Angus asked. They are trousers for women. Like these. Erameya showed of the lower leg of her leggings.”
“So, fitted drawers?”
“Kind of.”
“I am headed to the healer’s tower, if you’re going to the upper baily, you may escort me.”
“The healer is in the ambassador’s tower with my grandfather. I’d be happy to take you there.” Angus held out his arm for her to take. Taking his elbow, they walked together up the street to the upper bailey.
Before they had gone far, Erameya noticed they were being followed. “Angus, we are being followed.”
“We do make a beautiful couple. Me with my luxurious golden hair and my tall, muscular body; and you, a willowy, stunning dark beauty. Why would people not stare?”
“I forgot, for a moment, how arrogant you are.”
