A teenage girl with long curly red hair and bright red eyes looks up at you from her chair. She immediately gets up and hugs you.
"You came back!" she says with a huge smile. "When?"
"Just a few minutes ago. I'm here to train you."
"That's so great! I was wondering when I would see you again." The girl has nice hugs.
"Well, I'm here now." You sit down at the desk and moved her to do likewise. "I think we should start with some introductions, don't you agree?"
"Yes!" the girl beams. "I'm Ruby, by the way. Are you going to teach me arcane arts?"
"No, I'm really bad with magic and all that 'smart people' stuff, so you will have to find someone else to teach you about that topic." You motion for her to stop.
"Oh," Ruby frowns a bit and pouts "I was hoping you would be the one who would do it."
You laugh. "I aim to disappoint. Now, shall we get started?"
"Sure! Whatever you say! I'll be happy to learn whatever you want to teach me."
"Alright then," you lean over and look at one of the many notebooks on her desk. "What would you like to know?"
"Oh, well I'd like to know more about the world and... well... some magic!" She states the last bit with great enthusiasm.
"Okay then," you flip open the notebook and start writing. "What would you like to know about the world?"
"Well... I'd like to know how it got to the state it's in now."
You start drawing a rough map.
"The world used to be a much smaller size, with a lot more land. Then the Old Man came and did something with magic I guess, and it made the world bigger."
"That's so strange! I didn't know that."
"Yeah, it was strange at the time, even by Old Man standards. Now the world is broken up into islands. Some have airships, some don't. Some have magic, some don't. It's a crazy world and it's getting crazier. You should see some of the places the airships have crashed into."
"That must have been so cool!" Ruby looks at you with great interest. "Do you go to such places?"
"No," you shake your head with a smile. "
