"Here's the thing you've got to realize. The war? No one won." Howard began. I felt like a kid being told a story around a fireplace. I remember doing this with my grandfather, Noah. "Our side pushed them back, but we didn't win anything. We lost too many people, and some territories still suffer the effects of all the magic used. Even the humans. They don't remember, but the effects of what they experienced? It hurt them just as much as it did us. Do you know the effects using memory manipulation spells does to a human brain?"
"I have some idea," I have first-hand experience with that kind of magic. The curse kept my brain from melting, but the effects were detrimental. "It's not permanent either, is it?"
