Degren at the Earth Circle.

[Degren Brightforge]

Standing in the middle of the forest next to a large, round boulder,  Degren looks nervously around, as though he were waiting for someone to suddenly appear. Glancing behind himself on last time, he turns to the Earth circle and places his hand against the ground. He focuses his mind, and thinks:

I require aid, Earth. I ask you, send me a teacher to teach me your ways.

Just for good measure, he scribbles away at the notebook and places is on the ground wthin the circle.

Volk, I assume you can read. I need teaching. I know I can't cast without a voice, but knowledge is power, and I don't intend to be a mute for the rest of my days. Come teach me, Champion.
