Wilder's ears shot up with surprise. Aure had met Black too? Another thing to be friends about! They knew the same dog! She purred deeply. "Wow, that's cool! I wish he'd taught me to glow, that sounds like fun!" Her whiskers twitched with interest as the hybrid's body began to glow. Perhaps the thought that it was, perhaps, not magic but some sort of trick kept her from falling into the trance again but she very much wanted to make her fur glow like that too. "So pretty! You're so pretty! I wish I could glow!"

She tilted her head with confusion at Aure's next words. Why was he saying those things? They seemed to come out of nowhere. Had she said something about her gem not being hers? And why did he think that she thought she was the...the...the...t̷h̶e̸...

"Ohhhhh," she meowed, thoughtfully. That was pretty deep, the memory of someone helping someone else. "I guess he is a father then if he helps you learn. But then wouldn't that make Black a father too?" She suddenly perked up, her eyes glowing. "Wait! Aure! If Black's your father too that'd make us siblings!"

The excitement coming off of Aure was infectious, not that Wilder didn't have plenty before. Whatever worries about losing control she had that had caused the hybrid to get attracted here in the first place were long gone. All that mattered was her friend! What a good friend! If she could she would have been blushing furiously. "Glowing pink sounds like fun! I'd match my eyes and my gem! I should go see Black and ask him! But mushrooms? That sounds cool! I'd like to be able to grow mushrooms!"

Suddenly, an idea came to her head and she stood taller, prouder, and her tail was straight up behind her. "Someday, I'm going to learn how to do everything! Just you watch!" Maybe then she'd get a good mother and father, thinking that it was something to be deserved. Although, she already had a good father so that base was covered.

She wasn't really sure what Aure meant about asking bones but he skated over it so quickly that she didn't have time to ask, nor the attention span to remember to ask at all. Black being a guardian made sense. He seemed the type. Maybe he did that to all young kids - found them and guarded over them after they hatched. Did that mean he wasn't her father? But no, they were both black! He had to be her father? "But how could we be siblings if we have different parents?" Her eyes glittered and her whiskers twitched with excitement. "We can just be really good friends! Best friends!"

When the mushrooms appeared, Wilder couldn't help but be extremely curious. She leaned forward and sniffed them, smiling with delight at their lovely smell, but then, as she licked it, she realized that Aure was right - disgusting! She shit out whatever saliva had the flavor and licked her paw to clean off her whiskers. "Wow! Those are gross!" But she spoke with an excited tone, as if she had just discovered something truly amazing, not just licked a mushroom.

Wanting to demonstrate something of her own, she accidentally reached back for that side of her that she had been trying to avoid. Within a second, her eyes had gone glassy and her movements had slowed. She turned towards Aure and sat back on her haunches. "T̵h̴i̷s̷ ̵i̵s̷ ̶w̵h̷a̵t̶ ̶I̸ ̶c̴a̵n̸ ̵d̴o̴," she whispered, her voice smooth and dark. As her eyes glanced around a few arcane wisps blazed into existence around Aure. They didn't move, just kind of floated there, burning eerily as Wilder stared almost sightless.

But then the magic cut off and she blinked, her eyes instantly snapping back to normal. They lit up again and she smiled widely, pleased with her demonstration. "Wasn't that cool? I saw someone else do it and learned it all by myself!" Of course, she had no idea how she had learned it, as was the case with all of her spells, but she had done it! And nobody had taught her! That meant she'd done it all by her own, right?

Wilder nodded enthusiastically and giggled at the compliment. "They're not fireflies, silly, they're little light balls! Or little fire things! But they're so pretty!" Her tail waved merrily in the air as she got up closer to Aure and sat down next to him. She was in such a state of glee that it continued to pass over her mind that she could easily fall into another trance if she continued to use magic like this. It just didn't seem possible - she was too happy to just be swept away for more then a second!

She put a paw down in front of her and stood taller, impressively. "So. You take a deep breath. You think about fire! Yeah, but its fire from your mind!" She gestured by taking her other paw and placing it against the side of her head. "Yeah so you think about mind fire! And then you just...m̷̤͝à̸͉g̷̉͜i̶͉̓c̷͓͋!" At the throaty call a few more wisps popped up in front of her. The voice didn't last any time at all and she was soon hopping forward again to pass through her little candle, which flickered and disappeared. "You try it, its easy!"

Wilder hopped with surprise at the sudden tornado racing through her little den. Suddenly she was faced with an option - stay in and possibly get hurt from the tornado or go outside and face the Sp...face that thing. It was an easy choice, though, for her. She dived into the corner of the cave and pressed herself against the wall. However, she wasn't so lucky. She was just too tiny and too light to keep herself safe from the wind. It pressed against her legs and threw her off balance. With a cry, she tumbled forward right into the tornado and was picked up by the wind. It slammed her into the wall and she was instantly knocked unconscious as her head hit the wall hard.

She fell back to the ground, limp, and the wind tossed her into a corner she hadn't chosen and her body caught on a rock until the spell wore off.
