༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>It was an impossibly tempting prospect to pet the Rakshasa, but the young man managed to refrain. If normal cats were prone to a myriad of possible reactions to being pat, he figured it wasn't worth the risk. Powerful mages that such spirits...

༺༉❁ August 24th year 123 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>August, late summer…it'd not even been a year since Æhti and Velho had first crossed paths, since the former had acquired Terra in the care of the latter. The boy had managed to push his skills with Terra to competency, though nowhere near the...

༺༉❁ October 10 year 123 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Æhti squinted at the use of the word ‘swimmingly’ in reference to his Aqua initiation, but then his features twisted into something bemused and he almost chuckled. “It did go…swimmingly. Enough, at least– I did live,” he began, shifting to...

༺༉❁ October 10 year 123 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>It had been a few months since Æhti acquired Aqua against his will, and while his progress with it and Terra had proceeded apace, he couldn’t help but find practicing magic to be more and more of a bittersweet experience as time went on. In the...

༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>If nothing else, Postmaster was positively polite. And given how strangely covetous Velho had become of him of late, Æhti felt that if he’d agreed to this, then the Ferrier must trust, to some degree, that it’ll be fine…so surely, it shall be...

༺༉❁ spring 26 day year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>When he was asked about his kin, Skrípi’s enthusiasm only appeared to bolster, as he nodded vigorously– though he did tilt his head at the mentioned name. “I am! … though…” he thought for a second. “Cælum is that fertility dragon...

༺༉❁ August 17 year 19,639 of the second age ❁༉༻ <notes>After the first few centuries of Velho’s life, it became rarer and rarer for him to return to Myrkvior’s basin. Not necessarily because he did not like the landscape of his people’s ancestral home, nay– it simply had become harder and...

༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Velho seemed pleased that the little feline guest appreciated his choices in floral decoration. He had carefully mulled over each plant before enacting the short ritual for Florabinding– it was hard choosing between flowers and functional plants...

༺༉❁ April 28 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Rakshasa were known to be a whimsical, distractible sort as a collective. These traits, when applied to individuals, varied quite wildly as one might expect. The most predictable thing about them, really, was their unpredictability. And so...

༺༉❁ Spring 28 year 123 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Æhti imagined acquiring a Pact was much akin to an epiphany, with some being more obvious than others– would be hard to remain oblivious to Nekros or the like, at least. The thought occurred to him that he really ought to read up a bit more on...

༺༉❁ Spring 17 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes> A Rakshasa referring to their underlings as ‘my cats’ sounded a bit strange to Velho’s ears, as it would be hard to assume that other Rakshasa would submit to anyone, even another of their kind. Still, would it be so bizarre for a spirit that...

༺༉❁ Spring 17 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes> The sound of the false boy's laughter was jarring to Æhti and he froze, briefly assuming that the spirit was mocking them. Had Velho gotten it wrong? Then began its transformation; flashes of Saol shining through tears in the façade. No–...

༺༉❁ Spring 17 year 124 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes> Of the four Metaphors of Cambion that Velho hadn't ruled out, the more the spirit spoke, the more his answers weighted the Ferrier’s guess in one particular direction. Though even of their number, this one was certainly an odd duck. He...

༺༉❁ Spring 28 year 123 of the third age ❁༉༻ <notes>Abraia’s explanation sounded like the crafter’s magic he’d only heard of in the past– and it made sense, there were plenty of legendary artisans spread between both the Æld’Norai and Fælniri populations. He was not surprised to learn the effects...
