"I yearn to travel to the edge of the stars and beyond, to map places where others daren’t tread… or, perhaps, just for more wine."

---

Name: Eon Vael

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Country of Origin: Taranis

Weapons: A slim dagger, gilded and jeweled.

Equipment: He carries inks, brushes, pens, paper and a compass for his cartography.

Appearance: Eon is tall and lithe, though his frame is mostly hidden under billowing silks or heavy furs in the colder regions.

Personality: Hedonistic and flamboyant, Eon cares much more about himself than anything else, but loves to engage with people; he can be pleasant, though this is very much an act, as he lets few people close to him. He has a love for art and life.

Short Biography:
The third son of a wealth Tarani merchant family, Eon was never the subject to grooming like his older siblings. With all this time he explored their estate, and developed a taste for adventure, for finding hidden places and secrets that even then he understood to be precious. Frequently he would return at mealtime with grazed knees and messy hair and receive a scolding. He met his Abra, Sim, during one of his expeditions, whilst climbing a tree. He offered it an apple and the two have grown closer since.

Eon was also afforded a great tutelage, learning to read and write, but also to play music and, his favourite of all, to paint and draw and create visual art - this Eon took to naturally. With not much else to besides, Eon could focus on refining his craft, and soon needed a new teacher for this. And then another. Before long he was doing portraits for family and friends, and then people from further afield. They came to him, to be captured on canvas through his eyes. Works produced by him soon became worth their weight in gold, or more precious even still. His grandest undertaking was a set of three pieces for a powerful Pokemon breeder, and in return he was gifted a Ralts, Ira.

However, through tedium and happenstance, Eon was dragged into a depressive stupor and could not create. Try as he might, inspiration seemed drained from him, like wine through open hands. So he left. He bid his family farewell, and set out.

Answering the call of the wide beyond lifted the malaise. His mind, freed from the dark cloud that had choked it for so long, seized upon an idea: he would use his artistry to create maps of the world, of the secrets areas he so used to love finding.

Time trained his body, honing it, as he travelled, mostly, on his own two feet, accompanied by nobody, usually, save his Pokemon. The road taught him many hard lessons, of trust and the dark nature of men that they all hold in their hearts, and how much of it they show when they are alone.

It was a coincidence that he happened to be close to Shula around the time of the Firebrand Tourney, but having missed so many before, he decided to attend this one. The hollow jangle of his coin purse wove a sad story. Another reason to go.

As if in answer Ter alighted, coming to a stop on a low branch before the knights. His plumage of underwater sapphire seemed to take on the earthy browns and greens and drank in the shadow that surrounded them. Intelligent eyes stared out.

“It may be possible,” Jerel mused, his head tilted at the bird. Ter imitated him. Alacrity bubbled from the surface state of Ter’s emotions, relayed through the colour so the Jerel could feel it like the heat from boiling water upon a fire. A smile rippled across his face, starting in his eyes before it stretched his face into a close-lipped crescent.

“What say you then, Ter?” Jerel asked, measuring his words. Affirmation. Forbearance. Emotions splashed between minds. Jerel nodded, “Then go, watch for a signal, and let us know. Crack the night with your cry.”

With the beat of powerful wings, Ter was gone.

Jerel turned back to Sir Segremors, “We should not forsake our own faculties, of course. But let us hope your idea is fruitful.”

Tamlorn Winter-Rose

---

Jehenne’s eyes caught Tam, like a memory. Up close, it seemed she hadn’t changed. Her hair, those eyes, the sculpt of her shoulder...

Then she spoke, and ice had touched inside his chest. The spell broke. The breath he had not realised he’d been holding escaped. He blinked. Then his eyes flitted away, to the floating staff, the ground, his feet, anything else. Remorse stabbed its thin fingers into his heart and began tugging it downwards. Reluctantly, his face rose again to meet hers. There she stood swaddled in a motley of emotions and simple clothes, all beneath the dread-coloured patina that was fear.

He dredged words from murk of his mind, “I’m sorry,” he spoke lamely, his words clipped, his mouth twitched. He kept watching her, “For everything.”

Blessedly, Rote caught his attention. The man was a mystery, appearing at once mad yet also in possession of all his faculties. It was not clear whether his mannerisms were born of delusion or his noble upbringing. Perhaps both.

He followed them to the canal. He knew not what else he could do, seemingly trapped within the thoughts of his own mind, memories, words forming and reforming in a hundred iterations of a sentence and coming no closer to what he wanted to say.

The damp smells of flotsam and refuse clung inside his nose.

Danger sharpened his mind like a stone knapping flint. A wandering mind was a dangerous thing; now he stared down a dozen barrels of a dozen men. He recognised some of the faces, once fellow knights. Victory was a slim possibility, yet Tamlorn gripped his weapon, ready.

But, conflict was avoided. He bobbed his head at the Inquisitor, a small smile playing across his lips, “And house Winter-Rose will not forget.” He stepped onto the boat, equal parts curious and concerned of Jehenne’s fate. He was not sure he could leave even if he wanted to.

It was not until the black scar upon the cityscape, the Cathedral, reached up before them as if defying the heavens, that Tam spoke once more. Jehenne had pointendly ignored him the entire journey, so Tam had stewed in his own thoughts.

“Does the Church want anything with them?” Tam asked the Inquisitor, “Beyond their freedom?”

For all the voices, the group seemed quiet, a season waiting to end. The forest held its breath, watching. Jerel followed Sir Segremors. He did not speak, but nodded a mute affirmation. He offered one to Sir Hagen also. Jerel’s eyes searched the trees. The canopy wove a roof of green and brown to hide them from the moon, save for the slimmest of silver shafts; a faint reminder.

Ter fluttered between trees, following his master. Jerel slowly rotated his arm and hissed. His face clenched tight, scrunched up like mistake-riddled parchment. The pang of iron was unmistakable on his tongue. Again, he moved his arm. Slowly, his face relaxed, falling back into place, expect for his brows, which were knit together in consternation, though his eyes were flint-sharp and hard as the steel he carried.

Yet the doubt was growing, a treacherous undercurrent that tugged at his courage, or perhaps it was a snake, slowly constricting around him, tighter and tighter.

He huffed out. No more mistakes.

“Onwards indeed.”

Sweat beaded on Tam’s brow. With wide eyes, he stared at the wall of flame. He had fallen into a crouch, his mind rested around a spell, chill and tingling, ready to grab it and pull it into the corporeal plane. Outnumbered, certainly, but perhaps not outclassed. Tam’s mind raced like a great river, branching out into every possibility, hand tightening on his spear in anticipation.

Yet, the girl that bent fire to her beck and whim surrendered. A safe decision, but and odd one nonetheless. He coughed, and rose to stand, smoothing out his clothes with one hand.

A small chuckle escaped him; he’d forgotten the flowers. The smile melted quickly into a thin line.

“I am not here as part of the ambush,” Tam said, and though he spoke to Louise his eyes weighed Mergoux as she approached, and was surprised by what he found. “Why I came to you is no longer relevant, it seems.”

Even before the half-elf cracked a fist into the girl, Tam had her painted as dangerous, and that just reassured it. He daren’t move. Now he was alone, surrounded by foes - herons watching for a single fish below water - that one reason to kill. One hand was held up by his head, but the other rested on his spear still.

“Jehenne,” He said calmly, eyes flicking between her face and Mergoux’s, “Your brother… did he - is he…?” He tripped on the words, choking in his throat. Always, it was so hard to ask, “I did not see him at the market today, do you think I ever will?”

I need some clarification, are there two giant half-elves, one being Mergoux and the other with the mercenary band?

Tam waited a few moments before following; the von Hammerwhirl girl cut enough of a figure with her staff that he would have no problem seeing her amongst the ebb and flow of the city. Leaving behind the sickly sweet smell of charred flesh and the malaise that permeated the slave market, Tam breathed deeply. His feet fell with feline grace and the quiet confidence of a man who knows many things. Eyes slicked across him like foul oil as he left.

The streets were wide plains after the oppressive atmosphere of the slave market. He had a choice still, he realised; he could not concern himself with a dead man’s sister, he had no need of a slave. Yet, it was wrong, like caging an exotic bird and plucking it, just so the world would never know what it once was. Nobles were not slaves. They never could be.

Dust kicked up as Tam began walking quicker, his steps harder, like the breaking of waves against stone now, powerful and determined. He had to hope this Hammerwhirl had enough threads of sanity together that she’d know a good deal when he reached her. He was almost upon the girl, about the call out.

Then Tam became aware of the crowd, or lack of; wisps of people where once there were throngs. He became aware that he was in the open. He became aware of the prowling movements of men in the periphery of shadows. Like a fox that had chased a rabbit out onto a frozen lake, Tam realised his folly too late.

The ambush was sprung.
