Seth, with Fin on his head, sat on Puffles who started running off into the distance. The ivicer stayed on the ground to save mana since they were unsure whether they would have to fight or not.

  They were traveling in silence for roughly an hour which gave Seth time to once more go over the knowledge he had gained. Consciously remembering this knowledge was different than just having it shoved in his brain the first time.

  This time he really understood the theories and steps one by one and could also make associations and connections with his own experience and knowledge. It gave him a few ideas about how he could improve the Rings of Minas Mar for example.

  It was also a foundation he could use to further his knowledge in this area. Only now did he really realize how much of a gift this manual was. And this was just the simple beacon. Just what would the manual for Al'Zalsar's vessel hold in store for him?

  ~ You should really learn it as soon as possible. ~ the lich spoke up.

  Sometimes there were really long breaks between her doing something or speaking up. Seth started suspecting, that her talking to him like this took a harder toll on her than she was willing to admit,

  "Isn't there a restriction to use those things? The space beacon already gave me a headache," he spoke in his mind.

  ~ Tch, as expected of a numbskull like you. What's your current intelligence? ~

  "It's not like we were separated, Fin."

  "But you are always working on something and if you aren't working you are with Mina. Don't you like Fin anymore? Fin hoped to save you this time but...even if you are in trouble, Fin can't come in time to shine..." the fairy kept rambling while drawing circles on his head.

  "...I'm sorry Fin. Maybe I was a little too caught up in the work. Let's play more games together in the future. Or maybe you can come and accompany me in the workshop."

  "Really?"

  "Yeah."

  "You mean it?"

  "Sure, why are you doubting me?"

  "Yay!"

  Having emotionally extorted a promise from Seth, the fairy became much happier on their journey.
