The Overseers of Serenity: Blood Moons

At the captain's command, Aenwyn was at the portside. Some time has passed since she was actually in a combat situation. Five years to be exact. Aenwyn wondered if she was rusty but quickly pushed that thought away as the ships came closer and closer.

Once both ships were within firing range, all manner of projectile broke loose. With her specialty in protection magic and conjuring, Aenwyn summmoned forth a pair of water elementals to fight, augmenting them with magical barriers to resist physical damage. The water elementals were perhaps no more than a head taller than the average man yet their potential for destruction was high. With the sea around them, they summoned forth columns of water knocking away would be boarders and shot high pressured jets of water.

As the water elementals could be left to their own devices, Aenwyn had a brazen plan. Would it be too much to generate a whirpool and suck the enemy ship in? As she assessed the battle unfolding, throwing ice bolts at enemy fighters and mages, she realized that it was unnecessary. From what she could tell, the enemy was on the losing side. Creating a whirlpool would be overkill.

"These imperial privateers aren't really putting much of a fight," Aenwyn notes to herself as she destroys a boarding plank with fire

My sheet probably won't be done until the weekend as I'll be working on it on and off due to course work. I don't mind if the battle starts now to be frank.

I think I will make a list of all the magic Aenwyn can currently cast and run it to the GM. I want to establish her strengths as a mage now so I can avoid problems down the road. Plus, I can sort out any OP spells.

I'm on the ship talking with AF Hippo at the moment.

The Overseers of Serenity: Blood Moons

@Hippo AF
"Hi, my name is Draco, Operative." He paused for a second, before speaking again, "Before I arrived I used my magic upon you, allowing me to see through your eyes. I apologise for this, but lately I've needed to be cautious because-" He cut himself off, as to not reveal why he's here, "Point is, I'm sorry for invading."

The confession was rather abrupt and unexpected and it caught her off guard. Rather than relief, Aenwyn could only feel suspicion. Someone casting a vision spell to peer through the eyes of another was suspicious enough. But to actually confess it to the victim and let slip that they were cautious about something was very extremely out of the ordinary. Admittedly, she appreciated his honestly. Perhaps if the man worded his confession differently, Aenwyn could find it in her to somewhat forgive the transgression. But, this person definitely felt as if he had a hidden agenda.

Aenwyn cast a careful gaze upon Draco. The human was tall and lanky but his features were rather boyish and it appeared that he was around his early twenties. In other words, he looked normal enough for a human. However, anyone who was part of the Overeeers were anything but normal.

"It's not often I have my privacy invaded and then have the perpetrator immediately confess that they were sorry for doing so. I'll accept your apology this time. However, I must ask you this. Why apologize when you could have remained hidden? I find it incredibly hard to believe one can be so honest."

"Well to truly answer your question about my arm, I lost it while fighting against The Dead God. Same goes for my eye. After the war I went with my dwarven friends and got a new arm forged." Karl turns towards the open water going silent.

The Heroes of the Dawn. Even though only five years has passed since the demise of the Dead God, their names inspired hope against an uncertain future. To think that she would stand among one! The only other names she knew of that belonged with this prestigious group was the leader of the Dawn, Evelyn, and her half-elf friend Tabetha Lockwell. There were others of course but their names eluded her at this moment in time.

"Ah it appears I've privy to some private matters. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked. It looks quite exquisite though. I'd want to learn how to make such a intricate design were it not for the fact I know nothing of metalworking. It seems to serve you quite well."

With Karl still looking silently at the water, Aenwyn turned around to continue her conversation with Alastiel and...what was his name? Raguya? Rajuya? As she began to talk, she suddenly tensed up.

Draco closed his eyes and his breathing became slower but more steady. His mind flew away from his body, across the body of water and onto the dock, looking through the eyes of the female wood-elf

Aenwyn immediately sensed the presence in her mind before it vanished almost just as quickly. "Ah! What in the world? Someone just entered my mind! As if they were looking through my eyes!" she said aloud.

Not soon after, three more men arrived. Each one of them was silent and made no attempts for chatter. With her guard up, Aenwyn maintained a distance from them.

"Trying to look through the eyes of another? Big mistake casting that magic on a mage," Aenwyn thought angrily.

She motioned at three newcomers with a small smile "Hail strangers! I presume you are here like the rest of us for an assignment?"

There's really not much to write about besides commenting on other character's appearance and trying to make small conversation.

Aenwyn did not recognize the man. "Oh don't worry, you aren't interrupting anything too important. So you're a scholar too? We may have caught glimpses of each other but I am no good at recalling faces. I can't say I've seen you. And yes, I conjured that owl. I'm Aenwyn Loradi. You and you're friend are...?"

The Overseers of Serenity: Blood Moons

"Is that so? This owl already sees you so you're wrong on that account," Aenwyn quips. "Regardless, I'd still get a spectacular view of the island." Aenwyn watches the owl take flight.

She turns around. "A wood elf? It's rather rare to meet another one of my kin. And one so young. Ah, forgive me I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Aenwyn Loradi. As you can see, I am mage. Your name is Karl Shadowthorn correct?

Karl's arm catches Aenwyn's eye. A prosthetic arm, suddenly Aenwyn's interest in this elf piqued. "What happened to your arm?"

The Ocular seems like a totally chill dude.

Aenwyn was already awaiting at the docks. She began skipping stones, waiting for the others to arrive. Her ascension to a scholar was rather recent. She spent four years training to become one; all for the sake of accessing the hidden library. She remembered the day she stepped into its ancient hallways. It was a sight she could never forget. In addition to her duties in maintaining the library, she also greedily devoured its contents. In just 1 year, she had learned so much more about the continents and its inhabitants. However, magic was her passion and though there were tomes that dealt with it, many were things she had already known. The books she wanted her hands on were sealed away and its location was not disclosed to her which was understandable though irritating.

On the bright side of things, she was called out here to meet with other agents for a mission. A successful mission be the first step in solidfying her position and earning the trust of her superiors. She looked at the green skies above. Those glowing ribbons of arcane light was a phenomena rarely seen in this world before the war and many superstitious stories were attributed to their appearance. Yet now they appeared every night in this island. No doubt the new energies from the other world played a crucial part in this.

She could feel the subtle but significant changes in mana around her as the energies of her world intermingled with the new but she could not quite grasp it firmly in her palms. There was something perplexing about mana that she could not describe. For an experienced mage as herself, it only intensified her curiosity and desire to wield it.

As she grew bored with skipping stones, there was little else to do but to wait. She conjured an owl familiar to fly around the docks and see if there was anyone who was walking towards the direction of the rendezvous point.
