Excerpts:

1.
This man was another person studying natural philosophy, an alchemist by the name of Barnabas Scout. Alchemy is the studied throughout Europe, Africa and Asia but seems to have originated in Greece, Rome and Egypt. An alchemist is a person who attempts to purify, mature and perfect certain materials like plants and minerals.
2.
Arthur dug around the spot of purple and found it to be a thin, leathery material. He kept digging and soon came to a small long body, about three feet long. He then found one small leg and then another. He dug towards the other end of the body, a winged shoulder and then a head appeared. Arthur was then able to lift the creature from the snow freeing the other wing. He recognized the creature as a wyvern – a smaller form of dragon with two legs rather than four.

“You are starting a journey not of distance but of the mind. You will travel from ignorance to enlightenment and from novice to master. So, I ask again, are you prepared?”
