You're From The Isle If Anybody Asks

First Awareness

Those used to this by now probably knew what it meant when they felt their magic return for a moment. For the rest, suddenly their powers were back. Just for a few minutes, but a lot could be done in a few minutes. If the person even noticed their powers were back, that is.

Of course those on the shore might have seen the hazy indistinct shape through the barrier coming closer, might have seen the moment the hole in the barrier opened. Might have seen King Ben leading people down a gangplank through the barrier with crates of supplies....

Unions, Re And Otherwise

Once the supplies were unloaded, the barrier was sealed up again. King Ben seemed to be in charge during the unloading, Once the barrier was closed again, by the green magic streaming from the Queen's finger, it was Mal who seemed to be in charge.

"Alright, listen up. We have 2 hours and the clock is ticking. I'm not FG but we're keeping to a deadline anyway. If you want to come to Auradon or know someone you want us to bring back, you have 2 hours to convince us. You and everyone else, sharing the same 2 hours. Along with anyone who has a supply request for our next visit, or updates. Those of you bringing supplies to the school, time to get cracking. Two hours passes faster than midnight at the ball."

Those Who Left

(Please TL Here for boat and Auradon Shenanigans. TY)

Those What Remain

Once those going back to Auradon had left and the barrier was back in place, it was for those who remained on the Isle to sort the supplies and figure out how to get done everything that needed to be done with the people that remained.

"You might know it as either 'magic' or 'life energy'," he said regarding aether. "And so long as the environment outside of the Isle has sufficient of it to draw on, you shouldn't need to provide any extra to the plants. They will require careful tending and attention to get the best result however; they do not thrive in the wild because much of their energy must be put toward simple survival. In a well tended garden, protected from harsh weather, given water and fertilizer as needed, and kept clear of weeds they are free to concentrate more aether into their buds."

"As for the elements, I'm perhaps not the best one to explain such things, as I'm neither a mage nor a scholar, but I will do my best. There are six elements magic can take on: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, and Lightning. And likewise each has two possible polarities: Astral and Umbral. Astral polarity is characterized by activity, growth, excitement, and chaos, while something of an Umbral polarity is characterized by the opposite: passivity, stasis, stoicism, and stability."

"These aspects and polarities exist all across the natural world and in every living thing. In living things and people they tend toward an equilibrium, but in certain plants, creatures, or places, one or another holds sway. The Windlight is one example of this; it is naturally aspected to Wind and leans slightly to the Astral polarity, which allows it to grow as it does."

"This is fascinating," Grey said. "And we've never heard anything like it. Do you have any books that we can study on the topic?"
