September 9th – rig

Av’ry has an idea! Fox isn’t so sure about it.

“I’ve been thinking that maybe those problems could solve each other,” Av’ry mused. “How, exactly?” Fox raised an eyebrow. “It was that ‘key’ we rigged up, for the dragon’s door, that gave me the idea. The way we stored your power. Maybe we could work out a way to do the same, but to a greater extent. Instead of you just dumping power, wasting it, we could siphon off the excess and store it for…later use.” “That key was pretty weak, though. I’m not sure we could store enough to be useful.” “Maybe not, but what’s the harm in trying? If we pool our talents, practice a bit, I think we could pull it off.” Fox considered that a moment. “The difference in scale from the key to what you are describing…it isn’t comparable. You could get hurt trying this.” “So, we start slowly. We learn to control it together.” As she squinted to make out his face in the watery grey light of dawn, his eyes were pleading. “I know it is risky. But if I can’t stop you, at least let me help you. Let me try. Please?”

September 8th – mental

Av’ry has a chat with an Ynthessen citizen about why he’s there, in the hidden city.

“See? No one has given me that answer before.” “Really?’ “Nope. Politics is a new one. It isn’t the first thing most people think of. Must be on your mind.” Av’ry began to make a mental inventory of all the people who wanted him dead at the moment, but gave up when it started to get depressing. “You could say that.” Alessa laughed. “Well, it’s lucky that you can hide out down here awhile, then.” “So it would seem.” He drained his glass. “Ok, next question.” She topped them both up from the bottle. “Favorite food.” “Algae paste.” “You’re messing with me.” “Oh, very much so. You don’t even want to know how terrible it is compared to real food.” He grimaced. “Do you ever trade for meat?” “No. We try to be pretty self-sufficient down here. Our scouts only barter for things we can’t make ourselves or do without. Meat is unnecessary, we have algae, and fungi.”

September 6th – sigh

Nik is training mage killers.

Or she’s trying to, anyway. They have a ways to go.

Nik closed her eyes and leaned her head back, enjoying the cool breeze on her skin and the sun on her face. In the stillness, she heard the crunch of leaves behind her and the scrape of a boot across the grass. Eyes still closed, the air crackled with electricity, and then she heard 5 bodies hit the ground. Nik opened her eyes with a sigh. “You are going to have to do better than that.” She looked down at the soldiers arrayed around her, groaning and trying to regain their feet. “I told you, it isn’t enough just to wait until I seem distracted. You need to actively draw my attention away from the attack. Distract, then look for an opening. Get yourselves together and try it again.” Nik turned away from them, giving them time to recover. “And you,” She shook her head at J’ossu standing in startled stillness behind her, “probably shouldn’t sneak up on me during training. You are lucky I was only targeting those five.” J’ossu raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t actually expect to find you out here this morning.” “Why not?”

September 3rd – effective

Fox and Mikiva just went through something difficult, together.

Now they are having a little heart to heart.

“Good enough for me.” Fox shrugged. “And a little jealousy shouldn’t condemn a person to what you went through. It could happen to any of us.” “Not to you, apparently.” Mikiva snorted. “I saw it try to break you. You just brushed it off.” “That’s not really the same thing. Remember, demons generally use subtle manipulation. It is much harder to do when a person knows what’s coming. A demon forced into a frontal assault like that is not nearly as effective as when it can slowly eat away at you.” “But it was still painful. That much I could tell.” “I can’t say it was one of my favorite moments. Either time,” Fox admitted. “Can I ask you…” Mikiva stopped and shook her head. “I shouldn’t.” “It’s alright, go ahead. I poked around in your head plenty. The least I can do is answer a simple question.” “What was that? What it showed you?” “A memory. My own most painful memory, to be precise.” “So that child…that was really you?” “It was.”
