With a click and a whir a music box began to play in a dimly lit bedroom. Timed magically to start playing when the owner needed to wake up. Beneath the sheets stirred a young woman. On the smaller side, most would likely guess her to be a teenager by her petite build and minimal stature. But she was not just some little girl of course. what little girl is just a little girl after all?

This particular woman was a mage, a guild mage at that and she needed to be up and ready for the magic councils weekly inspection. Her least favorite time of any week. It meant she couldn't sleep in. Of course sleeping in to Ellia Litna meant not getting out of bed till noon. She loved sleep so much that what she called a powernap medical professionals would call a minor comma. The girl loved to sleep almost as much as she loved music and money. Almost. It why she used music to wake her up and the promise of proper mage work and pay to get out of bed.

Out of her bed she rolled, hitting the ground with a rather nasty thud. from there she rose up like a shambling ghoul who's hunger for flesh was the only way the barely intact muscles moved it's rotting frame. She bumped and stumbled and stubbed just about any and every part of her body that could be. But she felt know pain and showed no reaction. Some would call this a symptom of sleepwalking, or just being the worst morning person ever. While the latter was indeed true, it was actually thanks to her true magic that no pain was felt. ever bump absorbed and turned into energy. energy she wasn't going to use after all, it would dissipate in plenty of time, but it kept her from showing up anywhere covered in bruises.

with all the grace of a three legged elephant she prepared herself to go to the guild. Once ready, there she went.

Though it should be noted that she arrived there incredibly early. Around 6 on the dot to be exact. Once she arrived in the quite guild hall she curled against the wall, just to the left of the guild's job board and went back to sleep. Wrapped in one of her favorite jackets, a far to large from her blue hoodie of sorts, as a make shift blanket. She rather show up early and sleep here for as long as possible than risk being later. Business was important, and lateness was not businesslike.

Even as the guild began to fill up a bit more as the hour of the inspection approached the deep sleeping girl hardly stirred a wink. It was not until some particularly brash boy entered with barely any time to spare walked his was to the board did her green eyes flutter open and glared at him. "Take softer steps, you could wake a sloth demon with those clunking foot falls."
Sorry, life did that thing it does where it sucks. Will do my darnedest to get a post up today, but if it doesn't happen expect if tomorrow with out any doubt.
-At the Gate whre Skywistle, Sunny, Swift Star, and Amon are gathered-

"Well Said!" called a voice from above. In a royal purple blur and an audible thud a Pegasus landed among the gathered outsider by the gate. he was a fit pony, not quite heavy lancer material but bulk of his armor and the size of the pole-arm strapped to his back indicated that he was they type who used his strength in combat more than his speed. "Though I pray you still have to will to fight. More blood will be shed before we can make thigns right."

The design and quality of his armor was more elaborate than the guards atop the tower hinting at his more superior rank among the Refuge's Children. A further indication of this was the pair of guard ponies had come to a hasty attention pose and one of them stuttered out "C-captain Noble! We were just about to send for you."

"At ease." he replied. His voice had steel in it, but not quite the gruff of age. perhaps in his early 30s at most. "And open the gate. These are the ones we're waiting for. Keep you eyes out for others, send them in with an escort to the Manor. These four I'll bring in myself."

He turned to address the group, his eyes going over each of them as if he was making sure they were real. -The solider, the scout, the ranger, and even the OTHER one. I can't believe they are all really here- he thought to himself. "I am Noble Will, One of the Children's Captains. I will be personally escorting you all to Lady Redheart. She will be able to explain more and better than I what you have been gathered here."

By the time he finished speaking the great gates opened up, just enough for each of them to enter one by one. He stood next to the entrance and gestured them to make their way inside. As he did he took again a moment to look over them. Each of them was clearly a skilled solider in their own way. Even still he had trouble believing this plan had any chance of accomplishing the impossible goal Redheart had put before them.

As Amon approached the entrance into town Noble spread a one large wing to block his path and leaned in close. He whispered only so the two of them could hear "I know what you are. You even think of causing trouble for anyone in this town and you'll rather the cult got their hands on you." Without saying more he folded his wing back and allowed him and any who were behind him to enter and went in after them.

They were lead through the various areas of the town. The other most ring were mostly tent villages and temporary structures, the further in was the town proper, just as impossible crowded as any other refuge at this point in the war, and it slowly transitioned back out into tent towns once more as they grew closer to the open land around the manor.

They were led into the manor and from there into a waiting room. "We will wait a little longer for others to show, but not much. Time is a precious commodity these days. You should start to get acquainted. You will be with one another for a great deal of time form now on." With that Noble Will left them to themselves.

-At the Gait where Starlight is-

The pair of guards looked down curiously at her. For a moment they seemed unsure of what to do. Refugees from the forest were rare, as many ponies when turned to the Everfree where often refugees themselves. And by her markings some somewhat...unpracticed greeting. They looked to one another, clearly feeling ancy about this. Perhaps the assumed it was some sort of wilding trick to get the door opened long enough for a raiding party to attack. Though it did seem to cleaver for the more straightforward and brutal raiding parties of the Everfree. One motioned to someone below and in a few moments a third pony appeared on the roof. Slightly more armor and somewhat plain ornamental trappings; a lieutenant of sorts perhaps.

He seemed to recognize her right away. Clearly they had been informed of her coming, a sign that the dreams had been more than simple dreams. "We will open the gate. you will be escorted to Lady Red Heart and she will inform you why you've been called here." The lieutenant said as the gate creaked open.

A pair of guard ponies awaited her inside. Both of them barely old enough to fit in their armor but there was a hardness in their eyes that spoke of the cruelty of the current age. It was clear by the dents and ding in the protective where that it was more than ceremonial and that the youths had seen combat defending this town.

Deep into the center of town she was lead by the young soldiers and up to a manor on a hill, where she was taken to a room with several other ponies, who were clearly just settling in. "Food and water will be brought to you all soon." the now one pony larger group was informed before they were once more left to themselves.
Okay king bitch bagz is back in town ( or will be online atleast every other day )

Unless you want to lead them into the manor impy, I can have the captain of the children I introduced earlier come in and escort them personally there.
AH of course the site glitched :D Well may as write something else here

Like the diversity of abilities and we even got a even split of ladies and boys. I like it.
A lovely OOC.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the Magic council really skimping on the pay for guild mages. Though that does really works with Ellia running her secondary business to keep her funds in order.
Appearance:

Guild mark is golden yellow and placed on her left for-arm
"Sorry, did I hit you too hard? Here, let me change that experience for you...for a price of course"

Name: Ellia Litna/ / / Age: 22
Height: 5'4'' / / / Weight: 122 LBS
Likes: Cash money, Music / / / Dislikes: Biter foods, dark places
Personality: Ellia is often described as a even keel, sensible mage by her piers. When one is in need to unbiased advice or a 'reasonable' opinion Ellia is a good friend to turn to. It is best to say that Ellia has two faces. Her friendly face and her business face. Friendly Ellia is straightforward girl who loves music and live performances. She has a dabbled in music herself, but it is the only thing she is shy about. Other wise Ellia is a rather open girl who enjoys being with other friendly faces and giving aid and advice when she can.

Then there is business Ellia. Very formal and stern. Far less likely to budge or compromise, when in a business situation Ellia prefers to be playing the beat everyone is matching to rather than having to be the one following all the rules. To this end Ellia is very money minded. Always looking for a way to earn a buck or save a buck. When it comes to this can be as ruthless in fiances as she can be in battle.

That being said Ellia has a very strict standard of 'Fair'. She does not do underhanded work or tricks for even money. If something doesn't seem 'fair' to Ellia she will not participate in it. That being said; 'Fair' does go both ways sometimes. While something may be 'Just' if Ellia feels it is 'Unfair' there is a strong chance she will oppose it. This applies both to 'Normal' Ellia and 'Business' Ellia

Cover Magic: Experience Shift
Description: A magic that gives the user the ability to 'simulate' experiences for people. This does not replace memories or even change them, but it can make a new experience or 'color' an old experience in a different light. It takes time and focus to use and can only effect those willing to be effected by it, so it's considered a weak and odd knish magic. But it is perfect for her cover magic and her cover/part time job. 'Ellia's Afternoon Alterations! Want a tropical paradise vacation but don't have the money or time? Get it in an after noon at a tenth of the cost with the helpful magic! had a bad date last night and would like to remember it more fondly? make it a magical night thanks to Ellia's mystic feeling manipulations!

Real Magic: Master Impact
Detailed description: Ellia's true magic gives her the ability to absorb kinetic force, store the energy, and use it for two primary applications, which both basically come down to the concept of 'giving her strength'. She can use the kinetic force she absorbs to give herself power or to give herself durability. The rules a fairly simple. Think of her body like a fuel tank for kinetic energy. When she is hit by something her body absorbs that energy without taking any damage. That energy is now in her tank and can be applied as she wishes. If she gets punched by a golem and wants to hit that golem back as hard as she was hit after that punch is thrown her power would be back at zero. Say she is hit twice by the golem. she can throw two golem sized attacks or one that is twice as strong before being at zero again. While the upper limits of how much energy she can store is unknown she can only hold the charge for about an hour so she can't gather much in advanced. So power must traditionally be gathered in combat. This comes with the secondary ability to make inanimate objects temporally work like kinetic tanks as well, largely to the effect of making them violently mobile. Turning a rock into a missile with the force of a cannon shot for example. Though this is far more taxing on her energy; easily it is 4 times as power consuming to her magic than her primary one. But it can be used in unique and useful ways.

The most glaring weakness is that she can only absorbed blunt kinetic force. Someone tries to stab or slash her she will get hurt. She will get a small measure of build up but not much if she values her life. Same rule goes for many elemental attacks. Wile she can get decent build up from a wave of water or a falling bolder, hit her with a fire ball and all she gets is burned.

Extra:
I shall be much more active in the coming days! I swear!
Interested and will likely have a character up by tonight, if not some time tomorrow. Do you have any restrictions on magic stuffs? Like no dragon slaying or such?
A thing to keep inmind, the refuge is large enough multiple entrances. Y'all don't have to bottle neck up and make more personal entrances
