Esmii on her own.

Esmii took her time to heal herself, she did this while trying to listen to all of the conversations that were going on, and because she was feeling angry she was able to heal herself quickly and was able to fully heal herself.

“I agree with Penny, we need to sort out the boxes.” After she was done healing herself, she decided to go and check on the others.

A Hidden Proposal.

Esmii made her way over to Oksana and Roslyn, as she noticed Oksana was waving her over. Just then she noticed that Oksana needed to be healed, and as soon as she got to Oksana, she started to heal her.

Oksana's hands moved gracefully, a dance of emoted sign language as her words intertwined with Avincian, though in a broken manner, as she brought Roslyn and Esmii to her side. Her fingers pointed to the looming Sanguinaires, an expression of concern etched on her face.

"These are monsters," Oksana’s hands conveyed, fingers curved like claws, mimicking their menacing presence. "They oppress, harm our people," her fingers fluttered like falling leaves, portraying vulnerability.

"Care not for lives," her hands formed a heart, then a dismissive wave. Oksana’s gaze then shifted toward the enigmatic Volti, her hands indicating their foreign nature.

"Seek power, own agenda," her fingers traced a line of ambition through the air. A circular motion followed, her hand forming a loop, fingers curling inwards, symbolising confinement.

"These devices," she mimed the act of locking with an invisible key, "Keep monsters away." Her hands then reached out, palms upwards, a universal gesture of asking.

"You help secure," her fingers locked together, then she opened them like a blooming flower, "For Vossiriyan people."
Her eyes met Roslyn's and Esmii's, a plea for understanding and alliance. "So we be rid of monsters," her hands swept outward, casting away an imaginary burden.

Roslyn bit her lip. She didn't understand what the deaf girl might want as she began to sign and communicate. The Hendlish girl wasn't the best at this, but she had picked up some of it thanks to a few others.

"I'm not going to lie, I don't trust either one. More so the Volti. However, I don't know if everyone will agree. Not to mention these 'monsters' could've killed us, but they didn't. Why?"

Oksana answered back to Roslyn. "Group working for Monsters," she signed with urgency, her fingers mimicking the shadows of sinister figures. Her eyes then shifted to Yuliya and Khaluin, her gestures reflecting the weight of her words.

"They are using us," her hands clasped, then opened, suggesting manipulation. "We are tools for them," her fingers curled into fists, then extended outward, symbolizing being controlled.

"We pretend to be puppets to try to help the people here," she signed with a hint of frustration, her fingers forming a façade-like shape, then moving to mimic aiding hands.

Her gaze locked onto her companions, conveying the gravity of the situation. Her hands shifted, fingers tracing a path away from Yuliya and Khaluin, symbolizing detachment. "Get devices away from them," she signed with determination, her fingers mimicking the act of removing obstacles.

Roslyn's hand gripped her arm. Her thumb pressing into the elbow, showing the high emotions rushing through. "There's a lot of things that don't add up." She didn't want to think about it.

"I recalled the one man that killed the Volti over the river and mentioned that Marz had his hammer. The monastery held the Helegan hostage, and forced them to work."

She paused for a moment to catch her breath, then added. "However, Yuliya could've lied and told us to leave. She told Sven about the insult. There's so many questions without answers." Roslyn inhaled, growling in frustration.

Oksana gestured toward Sven and Marz, to involve them. "Together we can be strong and do the right thing."

Roslyn thought and answered. "I'm not going to lie, I've not been very helpful at all. I'm not sure we can keep it away from both groups, not without being killed." Roslyn glanced at her friend.

While Oksana was talking Esmii healed her. While she healed her, she silently listened to every word they spoke. Esmii was shocked and didn't hide it well. She then also tried to get Sven's attention.

“Sven you need to hear this.” She then answered to both Roslyn and Oksanna. “I am also not sure we can keep them away, but the Volti did attack us can we really trust them”

Oksana then thought for a moment, then she thought of an idea. "We pretend to work for both of them, we run south with the device. To Tundra, they cannot find, We, they safe."

Roslyn inhaled, and weighed her options. "That's not a good idea. I rather not have both sides chewing at our backs, they don't look like they take well to betrayal. Besides, how would the people use them? How could they keep the devices from being taken by the other groups after we leave and if we survive this?"

Oksana shook her head. "They fight. Distracted. We Mouse '' , making squealing noises, and pointed at Sage. "We slip under sight, we no one, no threat." As Roslyn questioned their motives, Oksana looked at her questioningly. "They monster, we not?"

Esmii looked more worried, as she listened to them both. “Whatever we do, we need to be carefull.” She then looked back at the rest of the group, worriedly.

Oksana nodded toward Esmii. "Be safe, no rush blind. Smart play."

“Fuck... how did I get into this position?” Roslyn said more to herself than the others.

“Okay, right now I'm just keeping the devices out of the Volti's hands... That's the only threat I know for sure. I don't know enough to be sure of which side is right. Though I will note, if the devices get destroyed... no one gets them. I don't think either of these groups know how to build them or they wouldn't be after them.” Roslyn then inhaled and looked to the side. “If the devices happen to disappear, I know nothing.”

Esmii looked at Roslyn and Oksana, and nodded in agreement. “We need to get the as many devices to safety”

Oksana nodded, she suggested Esmii and Roslyn go West, and she will go North, and they planned to meet up when it was safe to.

Esmii nodded again. “Yes, please stay safe, you and the others.”

“Be safe, Oksana.” Rolsyn stated as she watched Oksana shift off North, still unsure. She saw this going horribly wrong, especially for someone like her. Clenching her arms tightly, she bolted off to follow her Yaosi friend. Whatever happened, she would have to live with her decision.

Lunara Agha

Lunara Agha

17 | Female | Palaparese | Noble | RAS 7.93

PERSONALITY

❖ [Naive]
❖ [Respectful]
❖ [Considerate]
❖ [Squeamish]
❖ [Bookworm]

Lunara is a well mannered young Lady, however when she was a small child, she did have tantrums, when she didn't get her way, but as she aged, she stopped throwing tantrums. Her father taught her from a young age, how a noble should act, she knows how to show respect. Her main responsibilities are to learn how to properly use her magic, to act politely in society for example at parties or gatherings, to learn how her father’s business works and to care for her Goma cat Miray.

She has a sister, who she spends time with but they don’t live the same way and they were brought up thinking they are half sisters, (however they are actually twins). Her other friends are her fathers business friends' children, and they are all girls. However as she grew and spent more time with these girls she only grew close to one of them as her other friends started to be really two faced, and tried to use her because of her standing, which Lunara didn’t like, however she wasn’t sure why they started to be like this all of a sudden.

A weakness of hers is that she’s a bit naive as her father restricted her from leaving the grounds of her home, without supervision, so she doesn’t know much about the outside world, apart from what she had read in books. Another weakness is that she is squeamish as she dislikes certain insects, and also because of this she is a picky eater, and she refuses to eat certain foods from her culture.

Secondary Mana Type - Thunder Child,

Magnetic - 4.5
Kinetic - 4
Chemical - 4
Binding - 3

BACKGROUND

Lunara was born alongside her sister, twins that were birthed from their fathers second wife. While they were growing, Ruslan (Father) and Dalma (First wife) watched and studied the twins closely, and they made notes on their physical features as the girls aged. Lunara took after their father, while her sister took after their mother (the second wife).

Lunara was given to Dalma, and her sister went to live with their biological mother. As both girls grew, they were told that they are half sisters, and the truth that they are actually twins has been hidden from them. Ruslan silenced Onaona (their biological mother), with a threat of divorce for collaborating. Throughout this time Lunara was doted on, by Ruslan and Dalma.

While Onaona attended to Lunara, she often brought along her sister Ceren. Her ‘half-sister’ became a play-mate for Lunara for most of these years. While they played games, her sister would quite often let Lunara win, and whenever Lunara wanted something her sister couldn’t protest. Whenever Lunara had a tantrum or cried, the blame was always put on her sister, even if it wasn’t her sister's fault. The first time her sister was punished in front of her, Lunara’s sister was slapped by their father and this made Lunara squeak in fear and stepped back, ever since their father was cautious and didn't want Lunara to know or see how her sister was punished.

One day when the sisters were playing together, Lunara forced Ceren to pretend to be a Goma Cat and she was the Thunder Tamarin. While they were playing, Lunara ran into the jungle and her sister followed, scared of what might happen, as they were trespassing on the Tamarin’s territory, and because of this one of them bit and shocked Lunara. Her sister helped to scare off the monkey, and she rushed her back to the house.
Lunara doesn’t know what happened to her sister as they were separated. As soon as they got back to the house, Lunara’s hand was treated. Two years after the incident her father gifted Lunara with a Goma Cat at the age of ten on her birthday. The cat was from the litter they had to sell, her father told her that the Goma Cat would keep her safe from the monkeys so she doesn’t get scared.

Because of her fathers own magical talents, he constantly observed Lunara, however she hadn’t shown any potential for magic early on in childhood, like her father, which had caused him some concern. But when Lunara’s magical abilities finally awoke, later on in her childhood, they awoke while she was having an argument with a maid, she swung her arm forward and caused a vase of flowers to fly into the wall. After this happened she screamed and her father, seeing all of this ran to her to explain that it was her magical talents and not to worry. After this accident happened she started to learn how to use and control her abilities and her father got her the best tutor, as he wanted her to catch up as fast as possible.

MOTIVATION

Lunara loves spending time with her Goma Cat (Miray), her parents and her sister. She wants to learn more about magic and build up her own magic. She also likes to strum on her Tar and likes to dance the native dances she grew up with, while playing her tambourine.

She would like to find new and fun things to do, some of which she read about in books, things that are outside of what she is used to. She also wants to make new friends as her father said who he wanted her to be friendly with, to help him with business, also some of her old friends are showing their true colours, which she doesn’t want to be around.

She would also like to possibly find a partner of her choosing, as she wants to find someone she likes and not someone her father chooses as he has been doing this all her life. She also wants to help her father expand his business, and possibly start off a small business of her own, but she fears that she won't be able to.

INVENTORY

Chakrams (Two, picture below), 250 magus, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, head wear, bags, different types of clothes and shoes for certain situations, a few stuffed animals, parasol, combs and brushes, Tambourine and Tar. Her female Goma cat, and things the cat needs, also some books that she loves to read.

Hider

Hider

Name: Miray
Sex: Female
Species: Goma Cat
Age: 7 years

Miray is a playful and happy Goma cat, who loves chasing monkeys, hunting for food, and playing. However she also loves to follow Lunara around, getting pets and snuggles as well. Like most cats she is quick, nimble and light on her feet. She is a little spoiled and she is protective over Lunara. Miray is very friendly when she gets to know people.

The goma cats are a saber-toothed species, semi-arboreal in nature, and also the largest fully terrestrial predator native to Palapar. Roughly the size of a large dog, they average between sixty and one hundred pounds. The name ‘Goma Cat’ comes from the North Palaparese word for rubber, as the pads of their paws are known to grow both fast and thick, with semi-dead layers rubberlike and acting as grounding to resist both the tamarins’ electric discharges and the frequent lightning strikes during stormy season.

Their fur is double-layered and bristly, with vivid camouflage patterns, and their daggerlike canine teeth unusually metallic in content, allowing them to both acquire and discharge electricity through them and through specialised organs, amplified by their manas. Unsurprisingly, the goma cat is both the national animal of Palapar and a status symbol, with the original royalty and the plantation elites breeding them for particularly vivid colour patterns as well as for their rubbery paws. These are regularly sheared, saving the cats from having to do this themselves, and the skin used in the manufacture of shoes, clothing, and tools. They are also employed to keep the monkeys in line and to prey upon rival wild troupes should they encroach on a friendly troupe’s territory.

Event: Cold Comfort Race Against Time.

---

The students decided to split up into two groups
All the students put in their opinion of what to do about the Marbles

"We need to destroy as fast as possible."

Penny had chosen who she wanted to accompany her. She picked Roslyn, Oksana and Esmii. While the others were in another group. Esmii has worked with Oksana before during their little runaround in the monastery. She was starting to build up a friendship with Roslyn so there was that. With Penny, she's helped a little bit so there was a little respect from each other. However every night she slept in the same room with the other female students. Her Yasoi ears felt sore and tingling. Esmii was convinced that it was Penny but had no proof. Everyone double checked that they had everything before heading out to look for their objectives.

Before they separated from each other Esmii caught Sven with a worried look on his face. To cheer her boyfriend up she quickly ran up to him, stretching onto her tiptoes, kissing him.

"Don't worry, I'll be safe. I promise."

She reassured him with a smile then ran off to catch up with the others who were just about to leave her behind. They went over Their objectives once again. Find the devices and destroy them. One problem only Penny was able to sense the devices, so that was a bit of a problem if they were to get separated.

As they got to the river, Oksana had an idea of getting over without little trouble. Luckily they were still able to draw and cast magic. With the help of Esmii and Penny. The three ladies managed to freeze some of the water in the river to make a small pathway of ice to cross. While crossing Penny slipped and fell into the water. Oksana didn't realise what was happening, mostly because she couldn't hear. Esmii and Roslyn wanted to help Penny, but sadly they didn't have much time to help and as the Volti were closing in, Esmii had faith in Penny's abilities she didn't want to leave her behind, but she'd be less likely to get spotted.

Now that it was just the three of them and having no way to find the devices now. Esmii and the others pondered on what to do next for a moment.

We have no way to find the devices now. We could go back looking for Penny. But if we do that, we could be walking into a trap, or Penny could have gotten away…

Her ears twitched, causing her to focus on the world around her. She could hear something, but what. Listening more closely, it was Volti. Seemed that they were planning something, could they be looking for Esmii and the others. But they have the advantage. In a brilliant idea Esmii pointed out the Volti to Roslyn, so she could create something that could slow them down for them. Roslyn successfully made the Volti group fall back from her ambush with her Smoke pistol. With the Volti group temporarily out of the way, the three ladies decided it would be best if they regrouped with the other group, rather than wander around aimlessly.

Upon reaching the other group, it seemed that a fight broke out between some of the students and the Volti members. Esmii, Roslyn and Oksana joined in the battle to assist their other team of students. However the moment of their arrival, a Volti attempted an Atomic magic spell, but the fool lost control blowing himself up.

Esmii was only able to protect herself slightly, the explosion went off knocking her to the ground. Esmii struggled to get up first from the force of the explosion. Placing a hand on her head trying to shake to cobwebs, all she could hear was ringing in her ears. She could tell it was a minor concussion. She felt a fluid drip down her face, it was blood. Looking towards Roslyn, it seems that Roslyn said something but Esmii couldn't hear it, at least for now one of her right arm was burnt from the explosion, she tried to move it, the arm moved but it hurt like hell. The ringing in her ears faded and the world came back to her after some time. She tried standing, her knees were wobbly at first, with some determination she stood back up ready once more.

Seeing Marz was in danger of being struck by an attacker, she quickly went through her satchel. Pulling out a quilt and throwing it to him.

"Marz! Defend yourself with this."

Throwing it also made her fall over, it seemed her balance was still a bit off. A Volti member saw this opportunity to attack her. Esmii couldn't react fast enough, she was in trouble and she knew it. From his outfit being slightly different, she had a feeling that this one was more trained, trying to pick off the weak or injured, they wouldn't know that she was a healer. She closed her eyes, bracing for the Volti to strike her. But a familiar voice bellowed screaming.

"Stay away from her!"

Esmii knew this voice, it was Svens. It seemed that Sven managed to drive off the Volti, who was standing over his Yasoi girlfriend. He shouted other things too, but Esmii couldn't hear she was just relieved to see him. Sven sent an attack at the man, however the Volti vanished.

After the man had vanished, Roslyn came rushing over to her, with one of her binding bandages she began to wrap up Esmii's injured right arm.

"Thank you, Roslyn."

Esmii's arm started to heal with the help with the bandages that Roslyn used, Esmii was impressed by them on how effective they were, after she wondered if she'd be able to replicate them with the right resources. The Volti that tried to ambush her before attacked once more this time targeting Sven and Roslyn. She could only pick one to help defend, so she went with her gut and it picked Sven. Combining their magic they were able to fend off the attack however Roslyn wasn't so lucky. Esmii went to check on her, but was intercepted by a Volti goon he managed to hurt Esmii only slightly but the Kinetic force she knew happened and the goon was repelled back by the Kinetic energy. Esmii however stopped in her tracks by the injury she took. Sven came running towards Esmii he started to draw in an attempt to heal her. Esmii put her hand up to her Yani to stop him.

"No, not me. Heal Roslyn. She needs it more. I'll be ok.

She smiles at him. Fatigue was starting to set in on Esmii due to her injuries but she didn't want to be a burden to people. Once Sven had stabilised Roslyn, Esmii slowly made her way to Roslyn, and she placed Roslyn’s head on her knees and shouted to her.

"You hang in there, you hear me."

Almost immediately after, Sven was clutching his neck, something was wrong. Esmii rushed to his side. Standing in front of him she was frantically looking around, saying.

"Sven!"

Esmii started to panic, she didn't know what was causing this. She didn't know how to save him; she still tried to use magic to help defend him from whatever it was attacking him. However it wasn't working, fear started to set in, tears building up in her eyes. He was about to die and she couldn't do anything to protect him. When his body went limp, she lost all sense of herself, her body trembled, she shook him, no response. She tried to speak but the words were caught in her throat. She began to sob.

By some miracle, Sven stood back up. Esmii dried her eyes, confused on what was going on at first but in that moment she knew he was still alive. Which turned her tears of sadness into joy.

After the chaos had unfolded Sven collapsed to the floor and whatever he did, took its toll on him. Esmii ran to him, Tears still running down her face, he wasn't moving she assumed the worst. Kneeling beside him, she put two fingers just on his neck to check his pulse, it was faint, but he was alive. She desperately began trying to heal him, she didn't care about her own condition. She wanted her Yani safe and alive and nothing was going to stop her.

Event: Cold Comfort

When the fight started everyone in the group was ready. Esmii got her staff from its holster on her back, ready to defend herself. However she noticed that the enemies were more interested with the others in the group, this annoyed Esmii a bit, which added to the anger she was already feeling. While she wasn’t getting attacked she used this time to plan her next move, and she decided to help by powering up one of the members in the group, when they can attack the enemies. While she was doing this she noticed that an Assassin had casted a big attack at Sven and she was extremely worried, but Khaliun was able to help him defend against the Assassins attack. Esmii shouted to Khaliun, “Thank you for helping Sven.”

After everyone else in the group had defended themselves, and begun their offensive spells. Esmii used this opportunity to cast a boost to help power up Sven. She drew in her manas required for the internal Chemical spell. “Sven, I hope this boost will help.” After she casted the boost and Sven had attacked, she began to feel someone staring at her with murderous intent, she glanced round and noticed that the Assassins attention was now on her. With the Assassin staring at her, she felt slightly terrified as his eyes locked onto her, like a predator hunting their prey.

With the intimidation getting to Esmii, it almost proves to be a mistake. She was more focused on the Assassin, she didn't notice one of the blue monks attacked from her blind spot. "Oh no." she mumbled. Somehow by pure luck Esmii managed to avoid a fatal strike, instead they grazed her. Then out of nowhere a powerful Kinetic slam that knocked back the Blue monk. That was close. she thought, all while wondering where that Kinetic magic came from. A second Blue monk attacked Esmii by charging straight at her, this time she was ready and created a protective bubble from Binding magic. Just as she finished defending against the second Blue monk, the Assassin decided to attack her. Giant rusty claws came from the ground and straight for her, she tried to defend herself with Chemical magic in the form of corrosion, sadly it wasn't enough and the claws grabbed her and began tearing into her flesh. Esmii thought she was going to die, however the same thing happened to the first Blue Monk. A Kinetic blast dislodged the claws from her flesh causing more damage. The Assassin was pushed back away, but it didn't affect him as much as it did as the Blue Monk.

Once she was free, Esmii crumpled to the floor. She was in agony from that attack,she had multiple wounds on her body and she was bleeding pretty bad. This is bad. I need to stop the bleeding. The Assassin thought she was finished and decided to gloat. "Tick tock!" Then with a menacing smile decided to let her bleed to death and walked away. Esmii used this opportunity to draw, once she was ready she used Binding to stop the bleeding. It took some, luckily because of her medical skills she was successful in stopping the bleeding.

Once she stopped the bleeding, she realised that so much of the battle had passed. The Abbot was trying for a big gamble, wanting to wipe himself and the students from existence. She dragged herself over towards another student, it was Yulia. Together they used their most powerful spells to defend against the atomic energy that was upon them. They were successful, but Esmii was too exhausted, she fell to her knees, panting. Yulia helped her up for a second shouting for Sven to come get her. He picked her up so she could rest and recover her strength, it seemed like the chaos that had just happened, could just be the beginning.

Esmii and the rest of the group decided that they wanted to have a look around a multi-floor shopping area. Have a look at some of the shops names they decide where they want to go. Giving a quick kiss to Sven, Esmii went towards the shop named "Last Leg." She didn't go alone as Roslyn accompanied her. There were a few items that piqued Esmii's interest, the binding bandages. It also seemed Roslyn was interested in them too. The two ladies easily came to an agreement by sharing them since there were ten of them. So they took five each. Esmii and Roslyn seemed to enjoy their time together shopping, and should do it again another time. Roslyn walked off to another shop, wanting to buy other things.

Esmii thought that there would be more of a crowd in the shopping area, but there wasn't. She walks into a shop called Seas Bounty. While looking at the merch that was on sale. To Esmii, there were a few pretty things for her to pick from. But there were these Seasilk wizard gloves. After an unsuccessful attempt to pay less, she bought them at their regular price. Once bought, Esmii put the gloves on, and the inside felt really soft and comfortable. However Esmii felt a little more powerful while wearing them, not a huge boost but it was noticeable. With another item bought. Esmii made her way upstairs to the second floor. She wondered how the other ones were doing and was curious if they bought anything.

Climbing the stairs to the second floor. Atop one of the shops named Dragons Fyre, was a dragon. Esmii noticed the beautiful creature, she immediately wanted to buy it, if it was for sale. Running inside the shop she went to a merchant asking about the dragon on the roof. They said it was a Harlequin Kite that was missing one leg, and would be very attached to its owner. This didn't matter to her. The merchant was a little reluctant to sell it, but Esmii somehow managed to persuade them to sell it, at a discount. They even offered her a piece of Jerky at a discount to try and help her train it better. Walking back out with the jerky, she met up with her boyfriend. "Hi sweetie, I got a pet dragon." pointing up to the Kite. "I'm gonna feed it this jerky, hopefully it'll like me." Sven was a little worried about her, so he stayed nearby.

Getting the Kite's attention was easy after it caught the smell of the jerky. It hopped off the roof of the shop landing in front of Esmii. "What a beautiful creature you are." Esmii said admiring its green skin, its glorious rainbow wings. Holding the jerky up to it, "It's ok, I'm not going to hurt you." as if it'd be able to understand her. The Kite dragon slowly approached her unsure about her, now close enough Esmii could feel it's the air coming from its nose as it sniffed the jerky. Sven was on the edge, praying that it wouldn't attack her. That didn't happen, the dragon started to grab the jerky in its mouth, trying not to bite Esmii. Once it had hold of it, Esmii let go of it, and the dragon devoured it. Esmii smiled while Sven sighed in relief. Esmii tried her luck more, slowly, she placed a hand on the dragon face to pet it. It was curious about her intentions at first but the dragon moved its head under her hand. Then it seemed it wanted to test her, so it lowered its body so she could hop on it for a ride. Esmii lifted a leg over the dragon's body. She sat perfectly on its body. Then not giving her time to prepare, the dragon took to the sky….

Seems that Reshta wanted to test Esmii, to see if she was worthy to ride her. So she flew straight up, when that wasn't enough she tried diving, sharp turns. Luckily for Esmii, it seems that she was that high up she wasn't under the effects of what was suppressing magic, so in a panic, she drew as fast as she could. Using binding magic, she was able to make a harness for herself so Reshta couldn't throw her off. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Esmii screamed while on this thrill ride.

After several minutes of trying to throw Esmii off her, it seemed that she was worthy, so she started to fly normally. Once Esmii was able to calm herself, she managed to get a great view of the surrounding area. There was a particularly large and dense pile of rubble within the collapse.
Some trickles of smoke from the ground above where the monastery is dug into the cliffs, she spotted things that looked like ventilation shafts.
Some miles to the south, she see a camp with a number of figures in it.
Just a bit to the east of town will be a second camp. She saw something she recognized, it the Royal Standard of Vossoriya on one of the tents, indicating that they're working for the monarchy.
As Reshta swooped low over the town at one point, just a bit west of the collapse, you'll notice a hegelan boy waving at you from within a blacksmith's shop. It's not clear if he's just waving because the dragon or he's trying to get your attention. "I'll have to let the others know what I've seen up here. It could be a clue to help us find Marz." It seemed that Reshta was done flying for now as she made her way back to the shops. The landing wasn't the greatest. Esmii was thrown off from the landing and landed on her butt. "Ow…" after a few seconds she got up, rubbing her backside. Reshta nuzzled Esmii's face with her head then flew back onto the Dragon Frye roof, as if she'll wait here until Esmii is done or it still wasn't sure about her and this could be another test. "I won't be too long, you stay here for now.

Arriving on the Third floor, Esmii had no idea where to go next, so she had a look in Better Bedding. There were a lot of nice and pretty thing available for her. Bit the one that caught her eye was something known as the indomitable quilt, it was very soft and comfortable. "Ooh, this is nice. Excuse me, I'd like to buy this." Once purchased, she wondered if there was some way that she could style it into a cloak of some sort, but she'll save that for another time.

Starting to feel a bit bored she made her way back to the second floor to collect Reshta, and together they made their way back to the first floor. Esmii decided to go back into the Seas Bounty, to see if any of her companions were here, sadly they weren't, so she decided to buy some other things while she was there. Three Barnacles she bought, when she left the shop, Esmii opened them. Inside of them was a Mana shot, a bottle of scented wildflower and a magical wand. Happy with the stuff she has she slowly walked with Reshta to find the others.

The vitesse of a performer has a different feel to it; you can sense it from this fifth year from the House of Harold; she's got her flute in one hand, her feet dancing away, and a stack of playing cards supercharged for one hell of an explosive finale.

At times Aurora can be a bit distant with new people.with people she knows she incredibly sweet to them, always wanting to talk to them or play her flute for them to help ease and be sociable, she tries to socialise with others, but it ends with mixed results, still she tries to talk to people, however her performance skill are far better than her social skills. If someone wants to know how to play the flute or learn how to dance she'll happily teach you.

◈ H i s t o r y
Aurora never knew who her parents were. She was found by a group of performers. At first they weren't willing to look after her, mostly travelling around all the time. Always on the move was not suitable for a small child. Eventually they found out that Aurora didn't have anyone else, they felt bad plus mixed with Aurora's persistence, so they took her with them. So she travelled with them.

Travelling around Aurora wanted to help them earn money by pulling her own weight. Unsure what they could have her do, they let her start off small with a Tambourine and a Flute. She'd spend days learning how to play them. She'd perform with the rest of the group while they danced, juggling as well as balancing acts. To Aurora, this group of 15 people were her life, her family. The woman who mostly looked after her, as well as gave her the lessons to play instruments, was the closest she had to a mother figure. Once older, Aurora started to learn how to dance. Learning to move to the rhythm, she was a bit clumsy at first but she picked it up. As she got older, she learnt most of what everyone else could do. Eventually she was helping with some acts as an extra. She loved every moment of it. She wasn't doing it for the fame she was making her family proud.

While performing an act with another, they were juggling batons back and forth to one another. It was at this point out of nowhere, one of the batons exploded, injuring Aurora's fellow performer. This somehow caused a chain reaction as the other batons were now scattered in the sudden incident, also exploded. This caused mass panic with the audience, a few people were hurt but the other performer was the only one who was hurt the most. It seemed that after some discussion and investigation it turned out Aurora had magic and accidentally used her magic on the batons which caused them to explode. Now there was a division in the group, some wanted Aurora to leave while others wanted her to stay.

◈ R e p u t a t i o n
Aurora had to be careful at first, in case she blew something up hurting someone. She did have accidents here and there but gladly no one was hurt. She tried to keep herself away from the other students until she was able to control her magic. She made a few friends, but preferably kept her distance. To people meeting her for the first time wouldn't be sure on why but they found out eventually. She'd often play her flute while dancing around the school her old habit still there at her very core, she'd get applause for her performances which made her happy.

◈ G o a l s
She wants to make her family proud. Able to perform in big areas while mentioning her family so they'll have bigger crowds when they perform. Or get a stage that they don't need to travel everywhere, and are able to start a normal life settled down in one spot.

◈ R e l a t i o n s
The only family she's really had was the group of performers that raised her. They all hold a very special place in her heart and she misses th all, especially her adopted mother.

Astra

◈ G i f t
Molecular Acceleration

◈ M y s t i c C o d e
Aurora has the power to take the potential energy stored in an object and convert it to kinetic energy, thus “charging” that item with explosive results, The object can explode on its own, or she can click her fingers to make the object explode. She prefers to charge smaller objects, like playing cards, as the time required to charge them is greatly reduced and they are much easier for her to throw.

◈ L i m i t a t i o n s a n d W e a k n e s s e s
To apply more energy into an object requires more time to charge it. If she loses focus the object that is charged can detonate prematurely, it could hurt someone else. She can only pour her energy into inanimate objects, sadly it doesn't work against living things. She has to touch the object with her bare skin in order to charge it. Lastly objects can slowly start to lose their charge after a certain amount of time bigger objects lose their charge faster.

Hi I am interested, and I will have my sheet ready by Thursday

The Hourglass Order

Esmii'nesta'tawaar

---

Event: Cold Comfort

---

The group of Esmii, Sven and Oksana. They travelled into the farm areas looking for more of the caves that Esmii found before. The group found a farmer who they asked about the caves. The farmer said That the caves were off limits to anyone. Esmii tried to ask for the reason why, but that discussion went rather poorly. Luckily, Oksana was able to defuse the suspicion of the farmer. With it, he said that if they want to know more about the caves, they would have to go to the mausoleum.

While doing some backtracking. They wanted to wave down a boat to help get there a bit faster. The girls had no idea what to do about it. Sven did, and pretended to fall into the ice cold water. His acting skills were a little poor. Somehow it worked, and they fished him out of the water, at took them part of the way. Esmii gave him a big hug, she kind of regretted it since she was hugging an Eskand icicle.

As the Three got off the boat and made it a bit way forward. Esmii didn't want Sven to get sick from wearing freezing wet clothes. She gestured Oksana to wait here for a few moments while she dried Sven down. Looking around, it looked like the coast was clear, so Esmii took Svens arm into some bushes, she helped him out of his wet clothes, however there was a lot of playful giggling from both of them with Oksana being deaf she didn't know what was happening. What Esmii and Sven got up to during that time in the bushes (You can use your imagination you perv.)

Several minutes passed, and the couple emerged from the bushes with smiles on their faces. Sven was almost fully dry, just bits of his hair was still damp. They got to the front gate. Esmii asked if they were allowed inside thinking it would be more of a place open to the public. They were denied entry. So they had to think of another plan to get inside and that was getting in with stealth.

Once inside, the three tried to get around undetected. Oksana and Esmii were fine but Sven got spotted. He didn't say anything about the others being here, so he gave up without a fight and was escorted back outside. Esmii felt horrible, she wanted to help Sven but he made a subtle shake of his head meaning "Don't." She put trust in her boyfriend and continued to follow Oksana.

There were a few doors to pick from. Esmii and Oksana went through the big door that had drag marks on the floor. They managed to open the door without making a sound, then closed it behind them. Inside the room was a rail for a minecart. As the two went to make their way down it, Esmii got the same feeling that she had from the cave that went in on her own. Fear was setting in on Esmii once again making her tremble. She wanted to go back, she wanted to run away, Oksana managed to calm Esmii down. Esmii hated herself, she apologised to Oksana for being so afraid of that strange force she felt. Oksana suggested that we try another door, when Esmii opened it a monk was right in front of her as she opened the door. Esmii was spotted, not giving him a chance to spot Oksana Esmii shoved past him and ran down a corridor. The monk called for help and several were in hot pursuit of the Yasoi. They were shouting something at her but she didn't understand their language so she kept running.

With her time running. Hopefully she managed to not get Oksana spotted and she was able to escape. Esmii felt angry at herself, thinking that she's weak, if she was more stronger, she wouldn't have had to turn back because of her being afraid to got down that cave because of that mystical force, she'd have been able to not leave Sven behind she had no idea what happened to him, she prayed that he was alright. Her thoughts came to an end as some of the Monks were hot on her heels. One Monk fired a Kinetic force spell, in an attempt to make her fall. Esmii was grazed by it and she stumbled, but kept going. As a counter attack, using Binding magic, she made a tripwire in an attempt to slow them down, she caught a few with but some were catching up with her almost able to grab her. Esmii wondered what was up with these monks; their cardio must be insane.

Another monk fired a Kinetic spell at Esmii, she managed to dodge it, only just. She tried again with another tripwire, it worked getting a few more, now only two were left chasing her. Straight ahead of her was the exit, as well as five monks blocking it. Esmii panicked a bit, and casted a giant barrier of ice to keep the five monks at bay, but she blocked her only exit. Now trapped she didn't have a moment to think before a monk used a kinetic spell to shove Esmii into her own ice wall, Esmii was able to stop most of the impact, but she banged her shoulder. She tried to fight back a bit but these monks were strong, they were able to defend themselves against her attacks, another monk tried to break Esmii's wrists so she'd stop casting, luckily she was able to defend herself against that.

Coming up from the corridor that Esmii ran up, it was Oksana with some monks after her too. There was a bit of a fight, a fight that the two girls were never going to win. They had an escape plan to warp the top of the ice barrier so they could climb out over the monks waiting outside. The two ladies started climbing as the ice barrier started to warp but both couldn't climb fast enough and were almost caught. Something was taking up the Monk's attention in the courtyard. They were being thrown around like ragdolls, the person behind it was Sven he shouted "You lay a hand on my girlfriend and you'll lose it." Seeing him safe but missing a shirt, Esmii was filled with a mixture of happiness and lust, but now wasn't the time to drool over him, they needed to escape now.

As Esmii got closer to Sven, something was off, he was just enraged, Esmii tried to get him to stop, begged even, but her voice couldn't reach him. Distracted by Sven, a monk tried to ambush Esmii, but Sven sent them flying through the wall of the gate screaming "Don't you dare touch her." While outside the gate a new person made an appearance, this was different. It was the Abbot of the mausoleum. Esmii and Oksana put a barrier up in the hole that was made, but the Abbot destroyed it effortlessly, Sven charged at the Abbot, Esmii tried to stop him but she couldn't get through once again. Watching Sven and this Abbot match power for power, Esmii wanted to help him, but the mana of this Abbot was terrifying, she was paralysed with fear. Then something happened, no idea what happened but somehow Sven was back to his senses and the Abbot backed off, with this opportunity they made a break for it back to somewhere safe.
