[hr]

A dark red dragon rested along the floor of Aquibeophates among the mists. Nearby was one of the great towers of the realm. She, as one who was familiar with dragons might be able to tell, was looking up the tower and occasionally around peering through the mists to see if any others may be nearby.

Aen’drannan was her name, she had spent quite a bit of time in the company of her fellow dragons and she quite found them to be somewhat boring most of the time. The majority seemed content to wait for a divine plan to unfold, and to rest and enjoy themselves, rather than actually doing much of anything at all.

She was not so complacent. It was in part what had drawn her to the towers, one could always see them in the distance, it was quite difficult to reach them as many had found out. Simply flying or walking towards them never seemed to truly shorten the distance as it should. Aen’drannan had figured out a secret of sorts, one needed not to journey towards the towers, but intend to arrive at the towers. It had something to do with the mind she could, something about this place had rules to it, rules one could learn to use.

And so she had arrived. It didn’t seem like there were any others about, dragons or otherwise. She had talked quite a lot with a number of dragons, most had spoken of mysterious beings in the mists with odd manners and even stranger purposes, some had even claimed to have spoken to one of the four rightly guided deities. She didn’t quite know about how truthful all the stories were, but one thing was clear. This was the great realm Aquibeophates, ruled by Thaa of the Great Eye, he was supposed to be a giant of sorts, although none were ever extremely clear on what he looked like, at least none that Aen’drannan had spoken with. The other three rightly guided deities were a little less clear although there were some stories of them too, she didn’t really know what to believe about all that.

She was here, she knew that, and it seemed like she was here alone. She had already circled the base of the tower, no entrance or anything of particular interest there. She tensed her muscles, prepared her wings and from rest threw herself into the air. Her legs acted to spring herself off the ground as her wings flapped to start giving lift.

Aen’drannan flew around the great tower in the mists of Aquibeophates, there didn’t seem to be much of great interest around the outside of the tower at all really, although she hadn’t seen what if anything there was far up above. She looked up.

[color=Fuchsia]“Aren’t you the curious one?”[/color]

A great eye looked back at her, [i]the[/i] Great Eye it dawned on her. Suddenly thousands of [i]things[/i], too fast and too small for her to see properly, shot out from above and grabbed her. Instinctually she tried to swerve away or to escape his grasp, to no avail against the god’s strength.

[color=Fuchsia]“You should do well enough.”[/color]

[color=DarkRed]“Well enough for what!? I’m sorry if I went somewhere I was n-not welcome- please don’t...”[/color] 

This wasn’t how this was supposed to go at all, and she was rather terrified. The things shifted and grabbed her body but she was unable to look away as the eye before her seemed to bore into her. Suddenly she felt an intense pressure on her head before subsiding, and then a slightly sickening glow inside of her before that too subsided.

[color=Fuchsia]“You will know when you are done there.”[/color]

With that rather unsatisfactory answer the monumental god rather unceremoniously threw her at the tower. Rather surprisingly, or unsurprisingly if one really had time to think about the situation, she didn’t just have her body smash against stone. Instead she found time to gather herself back together and achieve flight once more with her wings, and then almost immediately land.

Aen’drannan had no idea what sun-damned place she was in. There were no mists, no towers, and of course Thaa of the Great Eye was gone as well, real helpful there. She could tell that she was in some manner of room. It was circular and there was a ramp that circled up the walls far into the distance. She couldn’t see if it ended somewhere and well that's another thing. 

The lighting was off, in Aquibeophates normally one could see generally pretty decently, the light shifted never truly coming to darkness but never truly being all that bright either. Here where there were no mists, no hidden angles, there was light almost everywhere. Not a blinding light, it was a calmer level than that, but it didn’t seem to have a source, there were no shadows, no shades, it was a little unsettling. To her it seemed as though almost everything was just off enough to not be normal, in most of Aquibeophates things were sometimes odd, but there seemed to be rules that at least pretended to accord with what things should be, what it felt like in her mind was natural. Here was different.

[hider=Summary]We open on Aen’drannan who is just chilling by a tower, she figured out how to get to one over the rather confusing nature of Aquibephates, thinks a bit about other dragons and what they know, talks about the ‘four rightly guided deities’ wonder who they are ey? Anyways goes flying around the tower to explore a bit and gets jumped by Thaa who grabs her rather creepily with well all his little corpses and then blesses her, gives her a cool hat and throws her into a tower while avoiding any questions or comfort. Aen’drannan has no idea what just happened and is shook. More next time on Thaa is really bad in communicating with mortals.[/hider]

[hider=Aquibephatian Helm]MP

Form Changing I: The Aquibephatian Helm changes form and size to better match that of its owner and user, in absence of a head shape the helm will not change to accommodate its owner and user.

Durability I: The Helm is supernaturally durable and can survive environments and impacts that would destroy mortal helms.

Supernatural Protection II: The Helm protects the owner and user from harm, attempting to deflect, stop, or lessen the impact of harmful objects and things approaching the owner and user. If it cannot deflect or stop a blow it will attempt to shift the impact to a less dangerous area for its owner and user. All such actions are done by an otherwise intangible force emitted by the Helm.

DP

Soul Sight I: The Helm allows the owner and user to see souls if they so wish, generally because of the suffusion of souls in almost everything, it is less than useful except as a sense of where things are at distance. In close proximity the owner and user may be able to make out things more specifically, and thusly tell for example where rats are in a barn, or if someone is hiding around the corner.

Undying II: The Owner and User of the Helm can continue to function even after they've sustained injury that should have put them out of the fight. This does not heal the injury, nor does it prevent further damage. It instead keeps the soul of the wearer tied to their body and their body fighting, they may already be dead in effect, but as long as they wear the helm they may finish the fight. This is a longer term effect, and may sustain the owner and wielder till they can gain assistance to more permanently survive, although it is likely to be unable to keep the wearer alive through more severe injuries.[/hider]

Learner of Languages I: This heroine has a vastly improved ability to learn languages, although they still have to put in effort to learn said languages, they are supernaturally good at it

Free titles afterlife

Communion with the Dead II: This heroine is able to communion with the dead if in presence, or otherwise directly connected to their soul. This allows them to see and know the life of said person. It does not work on the living, nor does it have a great range, making it of limited utility in environments without close connection to the souls of the dead.[/hider]
