[center][h1][color=9e0b0f]Alexis Farreacher[/color][/h1][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] Cedar Ash Inn[hr][b]Interacting with:[/b] Callie Lenson[sub][@Caits][/sub][hr][hr]There was no fear when Callie mentioned how dangerous magic could be. Alexis was confident she could tame whatever burning energy came coursing at her. She’d channel, ground or discharge whatever she would have to. But the prospect of ley lines intrigued her. She knew earth magic drew from some place. But the book always named the earth the very source of its power. It wasn’t entirely wrong but not really specific either. But Alexis knew now. Except… she looked confused at Callie when she mentioned only plants. [color=9e0b0f]“I…-“[/color] but then she realized she better backed up her claim in front of a full blown witch by some proof. So she first rummaged a bit through her bag, eventually pulling out [url=http://www.kiwitreasure.com/ProdImages/OJ01/Hand-Carved-Koru-Bone-Pendant-p.jpg]a strange, boney pedant.[/url] [color=9e0b0f]“This could also be used to draw on Earth Magic, right?”[/color] she held the pendant in front of Callie.

The pendant was clearly fashioned from a bone. The edges were still a little crude but the form was clear: a hollow circle with a wave inside of it. The idea came from a combining two concepts from her book. That said a hollow circle was the sign of the new moon and the fishhook was the sign of the sea. With the combination of the moon and its effect on the sea, Alexis found it fitting to fuse the two ideas. The fishhook became a wave inside a hollow circle. To add to its connection with water, she fashioned the pendant from a large shark tooth. The only downside was that it made the pendant rather small.

Alexis put the bone pendant on the table. For the past few minutes inside she had been looking from window still to window still. Trying to find Callie’s crystals and minerals to charge in the moonlight. Yet she found none. The little warlock was first intrigued but now her curiosity was blowing up: [color=9e0b0f]“Where do you keep your crystals? I can’t see them charging in the moon?”[/color] she asked both interested and confused. But her mind didn’t stay with the question. A thousand more were bubbling up. Especially about ley line magic. She couldn’t wait until she got home to practice them. Or maybe she could ask Callie to teach her?

A whole new idea bubbled up inside of her. Dominating all other thoughts. What if Callie agreed to teach her? Would she? What powers would she harness!? The witch already knew far more than Alexis. That was clear and the book didn’t teach her what she wished fast enough. Through Callie she could become a better witch! Nobody would laugh at her then. The young girl looked full of hope at Callie. [color=9e0b0f]“Would you… I mean, teach me?”[/color] There was no doubt that there was still uncertainty, but mostly from her side. She cast a quick gaze at the book, which stayed perfectly put. It didn’t make her feel uneasy. It didn’t call her slow. It didn’t yell at her if she screwed up. All in all, it didn’t judge her, for better or worse. Could she be a pupil to someone? Alexis was a hard working student but recently she’s been lagging behind and the teachers didn’t like that. What if the same happened with her and Callie? “I mean… are you sure?” She closed her eyes, a little ashamed that she even asked.

Of course, right ten something flashed before her eyes. Something intense. A flash of silver and sapphire. Alexis tried to open her eyes but couldn’t. The vision wouldn’t let her. The magic started flooding her with images. She clenched her teeth as she held her head in her fingers. Trying to push the Sight away. But it didn’t budge. Instead, it put her in the middle of a camp in the forest. Surrounded by blood. She knew it was blood, it had to be. But the pools were mixed. Strangely the splatters on the trees were all brown or red like actual dried blood. But on the ground laid puddles of red with little drops of silver in them. But one of the pools was pure sapphire. Like someone had melted down the gem and poured it out on the ground.

Whatever power was assaulting her senses, it didn’t intend to rest on one site for long. The images shifted again. Sending her tumbling through blackness or an assault of light on her eyes. Physically she clenched her teeth again. But the girl started to get a hold of things. With the magic she drained from the magic ball she started pushing whatever supernatural force around. Fighting it. Forcing it to show her something clear. It did but only for a second.

She stood in front of Sky Lakes Medical Center. But instead of looking like it’s usual night time illuminated white, it was pitch black. Silver lights were moving around everywhere. A sapphire as well, together with something bright and golden. Somewhere else there was a light of emerald color moving around and something amber near silver. But there were too many colors. Alexis couldn’t hold it down. Luckily, after the image left her mind the energies seized and left her body.

For a second time that night her eyes shot open as she tried to catch her breathe. She looked at her hands, who were trembling. Trying to get a hold of herself. What just happened? For a moment she was even too confused to remember where she was. But the floor below her was foreign. She didn’t recognize it. Slowly but surely she realized she was at the Inn and remembered how she got there. Looking up she saw Callie. With panic both in her eyes and her voice she asked: [color=9e0b0f]“Silver, Emerald, Gold... blood… What do they mean? What just… what is happening at Sky Lakes!?”[/color] Then the endorphins started to wear off. Sending her guts into a spiral. Blood pulled away from her face as her stomach started contracting. [color=9e0b0f]“Oh god… I have to puke.”[/color] She managed to say, right before the cramps got worse.[/center]
