The advice that Sienna was seeking from Edsillon had to do with the very distant past that wasn’t even a part of recorded history.1

It concerned the previous Staffs of Incarceration who had held office prior to the era of war. The only Staff of Incarceration that Sienna had ever personally known was Belial, who had cursed Hamel at the moment of his death and had indirectly caused Hamel to die. There wasn’t any need to look into the Staffs of Incarceration who had followed Belial. What Sienna was really curious about was who were the Staffs of Incarceration before Belial.0

Just how long ago was the position first created? Was Bloody Mary passed down through the hands of the Staffs of Incarceration from the very beginning?0

Also, Sienna wanted to know more about the ancient magic that had been recorded within Bloody Mary. Edsillon was the one who first taught Sienna the basics of magic, and everything that he had taught her was based on elven magic and other ancient magics, not human magic.0

If there were any other active dragons, Sienna might have gone to them to ask for advice, but unfortunately, the only dragons who were currently active were Raimira and Ariartelle.0

Raimira had been confined to the Dragon Demon Castle, and she had never gotten the chance to learn her race’s magic properly. Ariartelle’s situation wasn’t all that much different. Her magic skills might be far superior to Raimira’s, but apart from a few years as a hatchling, she had mostly grown up on her own, so Ariratelle was, for the most part, self-taught in the Circle Magic Formula. As a result, it was impossible for Ariartelle to presume to give Sienna advice on such matters.0

“I have borrowed a few volumes of books on ancient magic,” Sienna told Edsillon.0

After returning from Nahama, on their way back to the Lionheart estate in Kiehl, Sienna had gone looking for Ariartelle on her own to borrow a few books of ancient magic. Although it was a sudden request made without any prior notice, Ariartelle had readily accepted the request. That was just how much Ariartelle respected Sienna when it came to the study of magi...0
