Circle of Magi I: The Rise of Magic

Those with the ability to use magic have always been rare since the beginning of the world, and the creation of the first beings by the High Gods. Those who could use it were either shunned, or taken as the Councilers to Lords, Ladies, Kings, and Queens. These first users of magic gave themselves the name of, Magi, and ever since then that name has become that which magical users were called. Of course the number of those who could use magic grew as the beings of the world developed.

The child's name was Katrinja Erikson, and her parents were a that of the very odd sort. Her mother was a ruthless scribe, of course as far as scribes can be ruthless she was about as harmful as a fly, but that is what the other scribes nicknamed her. And, then her dad was a bit more normal as he ran a small distillery, and tavern in the center of town. Business wasn't the best, but it was no where near bad.

Katrinja Erikson spent the earlier years of her life with her dad at the tavern, and when she finally came of that age the rest was spent at school. Of course that all changed one fateful day in mid-summer, around the time the farmers began sowing the seeds of their better crops. On that day, Katrin, as her friends called her who was also twelve at the time, was in her father's inn, the Sleeping Dragon. As she was serving some ale to a group of farmers when she overheard them speaking of one of the Magi coming through town.

They said the Magi should be arriving in the forest nearby within the hour, but they didn't know which lord the Magi hailed from which would put any person on edge the moment they heard that fact. You quickly served them the ale, and gave them a quick smile before dashing off, so they didn't notice your eavesdropping. Of course you were a bit curious about what the Magi was like, but what should you do?

That is how you should conduct magic.

Irresponsibly and dangerously.

Circle of Magi I: The Rise of Magic - Update 2: Unknown Magi
« Reply #13 on: December 13, 2011, 05:08:30 pm »

You decide that even though it is a risky course of action that going to see the Magi would make your life a lot more interesting, so you set down the tray, and slip out the back door of the small three story stone, and wood house that served as your father's tavern. You set off down the street with the smell of cooking meat, and fresh ale wafting through the air in your direction dragged by the soft easterly breeze. It takes you nearly thirty minutes to reach the edge of the woods, and by that time the sun is tarting to set, and the air is beginning to grow thick, and cold.

You quickly spend the next ten minutes finding the tree house you, and your friends had found ages ago, and set up camp there overlooking the cold. As the minutes dragged on you felt the air grow heavier, and watched as a light appeared on the edge of the horizon. By the time the light was nearly in plain view the air is, so thick, and cold it felt like daggers slowly digging into your throat. "Something is wrong, something is very, very wrong." you thought as you watched the light carrying figure bob into view.

The man couldn't have been older than twenty years old, he was a tall lean figure with a jet black cloak that covered the majority of his body. In his left hand he held a iron, oil lantern aloft in his right hand, and in his left he had a thick oak staff that dug into the ground as he walked. He was a bewildering image with his unkempt hair, and odd stature that seemed to radiate power. Around his neck something glinted, but from the distance you couldn't quite tell what it was.

"What should I do?" you thought as you continued to watch the man approach, and the air grew heavier.
