Speak not of the old magic to me, for I was there when it was written in the stones. The greatest wizards of your time, the brothers Aldonais and Anceopholes, I taught while they were babes barely able to speak. I was even then only three thousand years old yet my knowledge stretches far further, further into the past than you can imagine. Beyond the dark times, beyond the times of legend before them, and yet further, beyond another dark time of which your history books do not even tell. So speak not of the old magic to me, for it is not yours to command.
