A haze of confusion took over Maureen momentarily, she could not fathom what her niece was talking about. She wasn't certain that Phoebe even knew what she was saying, ancient ways ha! even she a first-class guardian barely knew anything about that kind of magic.
Knowledge on ancient magic was limited, most of the spells were lost over time, the remaining grimoires about the magic that was used in the olden days were locked away in a vault that only those at the highest level at the academy could access.
So, how could she, a girl that could barely catch a baby demon know of ancient magic? It made no sense and yet she had managed to bumble her way through and locate the school. The mysteries of Phoebe Mayfair multiplied quickly, fascinating Maureen. She decided to indulge in the topic further and see what she could snatch out of Phoebe's mouth.
