[Xzana was finally convinced that the sudden and strange influx of humans was really done and began emerging from the bottom of the lake more and more. Between feeling less crowded and the heavy rain she is in a remarkably good mood.

She dances in the rain for a bit and climbs a few trees. Then finally checks out that strange book that is always following her around. She had been told it was magic, but being unable to read it's never been something she cared much about. That is until she realized it talks! Listen to all the different voices!

Huh, but then the voices pause. She gives the book a shake. Huh, how do you get this silly thing to work. She drops it on the ground and bats at it. Managing to turn the video function on by mistake. She bounces back and forth for the camera in the rain. Prodding the book now and then.]

Talk magic book! [She circles the book, waiting for it to respond.] Speak again! [She gives it a gentle shove before jumping back a bit and running from it a bit before coming back.] Are you tired, book?

[Today she is full of energy and wanting to play. She'll be in possibly the best mood if anyone feels like braving the heavy rain and spot her playing with the book near the lake.]

[Xzana stops playing instantly when she hears the voice. Turning to look at the man coming closer to her.

The question doesn't phase her, even in her own world being a bit of an oddity.]

I am a half breed dragon. [That's all your going to get. That's all most people at home needed to know.]

[Yes, that did seem a little like the creatures of the Isle of Were, though nobody knew their true origin... It seems to satisfy him. He can work with that!

Now there was the matter of the book.]

Is something wrong with that journal? You are aware that the book itself does not speak, yes? Someone must have spoken from elsewhere first.

I heard words coming from the book. It spoke.

The words were recorded by another person in this place. What you hear is simply a recording, nothing more. The fact that it does not respond to you shows that this book is not a living, sentient being.

[Opps, only people are now starting to respond to Xzana's unintentional posting. She holds up the book in wonder.] It is speaking back! A living book! [Amaaaaazing!]

[Oh no... what a time for people to start responding! He sighs and comes a little closer.] It is not the book. Someone is using the book to respond to you. It has been recording your words. Do you understand?

[Luckily the voices from the book are saying about the same thing to her.] Recording?

Hm, as when Casimir would write of his experiences on the road? It writes my words down?

Casimir? Well, yes, that is one way to put it. Others can see them written as well or hear your words in your voice. It is a way of communicating with others who are a long distance away.

Really? This would have been useful magic that Casimir would have enjoyed.

[Not that she feels any need to explain that she's talking about her only real human friend back in her world.]

[Eley is curious though. She had mentioned the name twice now after all, perhaps they were in important.]

Who is this 'Casimir'?

Casimir is the human who lives near me. [Er, or well, she lives near him as his house was there before she claimed the small lake near it.]
