"So you figured out the rules".
"Found out where you can bend them".
"Found out how to break them".
"Had a few scares along the way, had a few more close calls".
"Still got a lot to learn, but as long as you listen you will be fine".
"You listening kid"?
Hoppers question echoes in the empty tower floor as I focus on him with arms behind my back.
"Ya, I'm listening" I respond softly.
"Good, because I'm going to learn you a few things".
Hopper lights his pipe and leans against the large silver sphere behind the counter.
"Don't you mean teach me"? I ask.
"Some teach, some learn".
"I got a lot of learning to do... so do you".
"Place your mana inside" he says pointing at the silver sphere behind him.
"Is it going to hurt"? I ask.
"No" he says with a shake of his head as if he has heard this question a thousand times.
