"remember, no trying anything without asking me... dont care if someone else is a mage, you are MY disiple, i train you first..." i smiled, nodding at her, and kept walking, and yawned, breathing in the cold morning air

I nodded, adding, "Trust me, I wouldn't do that. I'll only do what you tell me, no matter what."

"good... now, anything else you wanted, or do you want to go and take a nap at home?" i asked her with a look overmy shoulder to make sure no one was following us

"Hmmm...no, im good. Lets go."

"...." i opened the door to the house when we arrived, my feet dragging as i headed for the kitchen, needing to start Lunch

"So, whats for lunch?" I said, following her into the kitchen.

".... roasted Lamb apparently... seems the house needs me to regain energy for some reason..." i said, slightly surprised, unaware of the spell that was keeping my male memories suppressed and yawned, heading for the front room where a crude couch had been built

"Regain your energy?" I asked, confused, before remembering the memory supression spell. That drained her? "Youre gonna take a nap?"

"yes, but you can refer to my Artriarc at any time if you require assistance... the house is similar to the amulet we made a little while back for yours... it can come out at any time while we are here, as can yours"

"Oh, right!" I had forgotten about my artriarc, who sat in its crystal home, which I had been carrying this whole time. I really needed to get used to it. I held my own artriarc in my hand. "Youre awful quiet. Do I have to summon you to get you to speak to me like his?" I asked gently, not really understanding the whole artiarc thing yet. Maybe I should just ask his artriarc.

"no, im just developing... think about it as growing up... i couldnt talk much before..." it said from the ball and i nodded "they need to grow strong off magic from eith inside their host, or in their home..." i said with a yawn as i went and fell asleep and yawned tiredly "wake me up... when dinners done..." i said, while my costomary green Artriarc came out and looked at her with a sigh

"...He cant die from using that spell, right? How many days before its really life threatening?" I asked his artriarc nervously.

"wont kill him, he will just pass out... but his behavior around you confuses me more and more..." it said, looking over at me as i was fast asleep, my hair falling over my face

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"even in this form, he still has feelings for you... yet he knows subconsiously that your straight, so he wont do anything about it in this form"

"...Oh. Thats...anyways, I guess after she wakes up we can have the slumber party thing so I can end the spell and stuff. At least the memory one, she said the gender bender spell was hard to undo..."

"yes actually it is, and i told him id help him remember, but he said wait until you were safe and happy so if anything went wrong, youd be okay"

"'If anything goes wrong'? What do you mean?"

"there is a slight chance that if he forces the change back to a guy to fast, he could die, or he would go into a forced cycle of where he does the age spell again, and he will have to relearn everything from you and me..."

"What!?" I asked alarmed. "Then cant we make him switch back slowly!?"

"yes, but we need to wait for the spell he currently has to finish, the one repressing his memories... the male side of him will aid in the process, but you will need to be well rested to be able to help aid the process... i am not strong enough to change him slowly"

I sighed, feeling mixed emotions. "...Alright then," I said nervously. Sure, he said I was rather advanced, but I wasn't sure how well id be able to aid him.

"its alright, ill cast the spell, all it will do is draw from your reserves... if it pulls to much, ill end the spell, and he will return to this form if we didnt get far enough, and will get back to his male form if we get closer to the other side... your Artriarc tells me your mathamatic concept of Rounding is an appropriate use of analogy..." it said with a nod, glancing at the orb

"...You lost me at the last part. But I think I understood i'll mainly serve as a secondary power source to help with ending the spell, right?"

"your artriarc says its like using you like a battery, to say it bluntly... what the hell is a battery anyway?"
