"Now Lunzie, listen closely or you'll end up turning yourself into a Frabbit or some such creature. Ah. . .Lunzie? Are you listening to me child? Lunzie? Oh dear, she's done it again." DeLila muttered to herself as she headed towards the Ice Gardens. She knew she'd find her energetic and mischievious pupil htere. No doubt giving the guards a hard time, with the aid of her brother, Lantri.

As DeLila entered the Gardens she caught a glimpse of black-on-white fur that told Lunzie was there. Looking the other way, the teacher caught sight of the silver fur that gave away Lantri's position. The children were flanking the two confused guards who were attempting to find the siblings.

DeLila carried herself telekinetically to a position directly behind Lunzie. Clearing her throat, she gave away not only her presence, but Lunzie's as well. Gasping in surprise, Lunzie spun around in time to recognize her teacher before one of the guards placed a heavy hand on her shoulder. The other guard could be seen wrestling with Lantri.

The two were taken inside to talk to their father, Lord Istari. He was in a pleasant mood as he had just finished finalizing the betrothal arangements with Lords Benden and Telgar. Upon hearing what had just transpired outside, Lord Istari merely sighed and shook his head.

Dismissing the two guards and the disgruntled teacher, he turned to his two children. At just over one hundred, they were still too young to understand everything that was going on on hteir small planet. "I don't know whether to laugh at your tricks or scold you for skipping your lessons to play games in the Gardens. You are just over one hundred years old, you need to start growing up, taking responsibility. I'll not leave my holdings to an irresponsible leader.

"Lunzie, you've mastered your fighting and weapons lessons, but you are not studying the Magiks enough. Lantri, you've mastered the Magiks, but are not spending enough time practicing your fighting and weapons. Where one of you lacks, the other is strong. That is good, but you must not lack in anything. Someone will find your weakness and try to exploit it to further their gains."

"Yes, but Shedo, how could our weaknesses be exploited if we are always together? Who would want to harm us anyway? Our holdings are at peace, as are the holdings of our neighbours." Spoke Lantri.
