ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

Nova Blancke

"Excellent. You do catch on quickly enough." Nova praised her. " Now repeat that a couple of times to get the hang of it. Then try the action alone without associating it with freedom. The correct state of mind is mostly used for beginners. Soon using Wind will come naturally to you."

"Let me see here…" she was able to do it a couple of time without much trouble. However when she tried without the train of thought it didn't seem to work. She tried again then asked, "Am I doing something wrong?"  

[Nova Blancke]

"No, you are, despite your progress, still a beginner. You are not required to master it. Your body needs to get used to the various types of mana. That is why I am guiding you. Now continue as you did earlier. Only increase the intensity. Use more Mana." Nova explained. He took a few steps back and formed a rotating cylindrical wall of wind around him. "You do not need to make this because it requires more experience but try to get the same intensity."  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity looked at her hands for a moment. "I can't help but keep wondering… Why? Why is someone who knew nothing of magic chosen to face the Necromancer… especially when there are others like you who know the trade well." She sighed to herself and muttered,"Had I known of the prophecy earlier I might have prepared better…". She tried to do what Nova suggested and cylindrical wall half her height came forth. She felt the mana come from her center then outward through the palm of her hands. She looked to Nova hopping she did it right.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Maybe it would have been me but fate couldn't get a hold of my soul, seeing as I instantly reincarnate. But things are the way they are at the moment. Thinking about subject you may never get an answer to is a waste of time. I know that too well." Nova replied calmly. He examined her wall. "Good. Now keep increasing your Mana output.  

[PixelMuse]

She increased the amount of mana she was using. Feeling it leave the palms of her hands and into the wind itself. The wall became thicker.  

[Nova Blancke]

"Good now try to make the wall higher. It's not much of a barrier if it doesn't protect you completely. It should stop an arrow with the current thickness though." After that take a small break. We are already progressing faster than the University says is safe. But they have all those complicated and useless rules. Light, I hated that place." Nova mumbled at the end.  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity tried to bring up the wall of wind. It stretched a little then the whole thing lifted . She couldn't do it. So she kneeled on tone knee a sealed the top of it with wind formed a dome around her.  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova raised a brow." Well I suppose that is also a good way to do it. Compromise and use what you got."

"Shall we leave it at that for now? This is your current maximum for Wind. And a fine one at that."  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity dispersed the wind surrounding her and stood up. "I suppose so… How long do you think it's safe for us to stay here? I don't wish to be insensitive toward Hasaii but I'm sure the Necromancer has a plot afoot. Just don't know what it is yet."  

[Nova Blancke]

"Is any place safe for that matter? I do plan to continue tomorrow."Nova resigned with a sigh." We do have a golem on our side for the moment. Plus there's the barrier. But that already has been broken by a undead Valkyrie. I will not sleep so if anything does come close I will take care of it."  

[PixelMuse]

"That makes me feel safe yet concerned about you Nova. You can't replace sleep with magic…". They enter Hasaii's place and were an ear shot's distance from where Hasaii and Kerana were.  

[Nova Blancke]

"I am not sure how long I have left. Not a lot of time. So will not waste any of my precious time with sleep." Nova commented. Maybe he sounded a bit cold but that was only because he had accepted his fate. After all...it wasn't the first time for him.  

[Nova Blancke]

"If a good blacksmith forges a weapon with a Mana Crystal it will become infused with that element and will be until it breaks. A weapon can also be imbued with an element only that will only last for a short time span." Nova explained." Light, Holy, Dark and Shadow weapons are very rare since the chances of finding a natural Crystal of those elements is almost zero. Creating one will take a long long time."  

[PixelMuse]

"The thing is I know the Necromancer has his own black smith. His symbol is on every weapon he and his minions use. I tried locating the blacksmith but it's like this guy does not exist. Normally the branding would be at the base of the blade or on the bottom of the hilt. It looked like it combined omega infinity. It could be possible that weapons made by him were what killed all of Hasaii's people."
