"That is just not humanly possible. I mean, we are witches, but there are limits to everything Azuriel." Blue-haired woman tilted her head to the side. She was lost in her book until her friend spoke. They both were doing research on very specific topic: mermen. There are legends of life under water, and in Azuriel mind if there are legends of something, it was real at some point in time.
"They said the same about unicorns, and many other creatures, places... How come there are so many legends about them and that we know so many details of their lives? It's not a coincidence, Tao." Azuriel answered, making her ginger friend roll her eyes.
"Even if you're right, what you want to do? Turn yourself in a mermaid or what?" Tao said putting books down on the table with a loud thump.
"Oh, don't be ridiculous. Just imagine... the reward we will be given when we prove it! This is a research of a lifetime, Tao! We can become famous... rich... and -"
"Wait, wait. We? When did I sign up? Sure, I can help you with looking it up, but I am not going into the field, or vouch for you with this craziness. Nobody will believe you until you get proof. And getting real proof, not some theories, will be hard without any funding, Azuriel. I can't help you with that."
Blue-haired witch crossed her arms. "You could, if you wanted to, Tao."
"Yeah, and screw up my own life. You ask for a lot, Azuriel..." Tao sighed. "Look, I need to look out for myself, too..."
Azuriel rised an eyebrow before standing up. "To get anywhere, you need to take risks sometimes, Tao. Want boring, easy life? Go ahead. I want more than that." She took her notes and books and left ginger witch alone. Tao looked into the desk, wondering if she really has made a good choice. Hearing Azuriel's tone, Tao just lost a friend, a very dear friend to her.

Azuriel wasn't just any witch. Her ideas and plans were very specific, possibly strange to some, but that's also because of her powers. Generally, witches had one main power they mastered and were more or less skilled with other abilities, depending on their schooling. But that wasn't a case with Azuriel.
Azuriel had three perfectly mastered abilities, and she was good at pretty much anything she tried. She was a genius, and nobody knew where the genius came from, as she was an orphan Her favorite talent was alchemy, but she also knew of telekinesis and was a famous spellcaster.
Now, Spellcasters could choose the kind of spells they wanted to focus on, or simply the kind of energy needed for spells, but again, Azuriel knew more than one. Her favorite was water, but she could perform simple spells from every energy given and more advanced ones from most of them. She could even mix up energies for a very specific and strong spells, which was a rare talent.
Basically, she was bored with all of that that. She was just eighteen and she already couldn't learn much more. Her life became boring before she graduated Academy of Magic. Oh, but she could have done that before, however Azuriel always had one goal - to graduate like a genius she is. She wont do just anything; she will prove everyone mermen are real. She was sure they are, they were just smart enough to make everyone believe they aren't.
Witches in the past showed others the true about unicorns, dragons and many more. It was her time to rise and shine. Tao was right... Alone this will be a tough job, but Azuriel was determined. And she was gonna make it.
