I reached out to touch the light and my eyes filled with childlike wonder as it slipped through my hands, I could feel the warmth radiate from it as if it is was a warm fire on a winter night. "You mages never fail to amuse me." I say fainthearted trying not to remember some bad memories.


I listened into your conversation but didn't show any interest in it still too busy playing with the lite, "Yes, I assume from your boastfulness that you would have some very strong spells at hand." I added on to Amellio's statement.


((Ah, too late

[/QUOTE] "hehe. Well I don't just used magic of course. I also excel at swordsmanship and martial arts also. But of course I use those in conjunction with my magic to maximise its effects for example I have also created original spells of my own, and learned ways to improve physical abilities with magic, such as a spell known as battle hym which improves muscles tension and physical strength. Also I am able to wrap spells around my arms or any part of my body to be release upon contact when I strike. I'm no ordinary Mage." It said with a chuckle. Before a faint smile emerged upon the slightly visible lower part of its face. "And yourself? What are you exactly? I assume you have some means of fighting". It said certainly.
((Haha, don't worry I reply to everyone in order))

(( its ok ill just pretend it was already there ))


"I try to only use light magic but I have other kinds two and I use incantaions plus this" he held up his staff and let it float in the air engluffed in a bright light when he spoke an incantaition "lux volans" he then looked to the man after hearing what he said "fascinating you must tell me more about your magic" Amellios said obviously intrigued by the man's magic. the staff dropped back into his hand and he put it back into the holster on his belt

Seeing everyone amazed and entertained, Naomi couldn't help but put on a faint smile. Looks like I won't have to introduce myself yet. That relieved her for some reason. She stood and looked on with her arms folded, remembering the simplicity of her younger days.

"Haha, well I'm just an air support along with a healer when needed" I chuckle and rub my neck, "But that's really it.." I say trying to change the subject then I turn to the other figure standing there, "Um how about you?" @RazingCatfish


()Nice save Jack, such transition

"Well Mage's that use western magic such as myself use Mana, it is the energy required to use this magic. This is not some sort of innate willpower or magical energy, but something taken from the energy in the atmosphere and subdued via willpower and techniques – in other words, it is an energy from outside the practitioner. This means that Mana itself has more or less an infinite source, but the practitioner cannot preserve any Mana if they exhausts their own willpower. In this state, the practitioner can be said to be out of Mana. While there are individual differences when it comes to Mana capacity, it is an innate talent or ‘gift’ difficult to develop through training.


One way to increase Mana capacity is to reinforce willpower, which governs Mana. It is believed that by mental growth, and training of the mind, the ability to hold Mana also increases. Another method is to improve the efficiency of the techniques used to convert the energy in the atmosphere to Mana. If the amount of willpower used can be reduced by this process, then Mana capacity can increase as a result.


The theory of Mana is based on the concept of onmyou or Yin and Yang. While the energy outside of the body would be Myou, the energy inside the body would be On. As On and Myou are the smallest units representing the state of all things in existence, they exist in the foundation of all phenomena. On is the female and maternal component, representing the power of the earth, and of darkness and shadows. On the other hand, Myou is the male and paternal component, representing the power of the heavens, of creation, of light and brightness, and of activity. That's the basics if my magic in any case". It said with a feel of accomplishment, with someone actually taking interest in its magic which was rare to say the least.

Naomi jumped a little when she realized she was being spoken to. "I-I don't do much," she stammered. I just have these swords and some knives." It seemed like she wasn't going to be raiding any carriages anytime soon if she was going to have to keep talking. What a sad day...


She broke eye contact with Jack and made her eyes wander, trying to seem occupied.

(( oh my Lucifer that was a lot to read))


Amellios just stared at Ras in complete awe "even my teacher didn't tell me this and he was one of the most powerful mages of his time" his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree "can thou teach me more I need to learn more" Amellios was so excited he couldn't contain it small sparks of light started to radiate from his body and he didn't even notice he was just focused on Ras and learning more of his magic

 

[FrostXShadow]

(( did I really say " thou" the product of learning about Shakespeare in school *shakes head and sighes* ))

"Hmm. You seem to have potential, very well, I shall teach you then". It said as it smirked. "Tell me then, do you have any kind of affinity? A type of magic you are best at? Or some magic you excel at?" It asked simply, it was interested in Amellios by this point, no one had really asked to be taught, much less been so intrigued by Ras's magic before now.

((Don't worry, I understand, I had a whole year of Macbeth in school, my brain nearly melted))

I watched you get nervous and look around trying to avoid my gaze. I gently fly off of the cart and land in front of you, "What's your name?" I said kindly while aproching you, taking big strides until I was just about hovering over you. I bent down to meet your eyes and smiled so that you know that I meant no harm.

"Light magic is what I am best at" he stated while trying to calm himself down after noticing the sparks of light flying from his body after stoping the light he took a deep breath and looked at Ras "ive been training in light magic since I was little and im marry amazing at it" he said while holding hup his hand ad mumbled something along the lines of "Missa in lucem" three balls of light form and began dancing across the sky in front of them .

"in that case, there is much I can teach you. Light has a variety of uses, many of which are offensive abilities. I'll teach you the incantations and hopefully some unincanted spells. It will be difficult, but worthwhile, trust me". It said. The figure lay back, looking up at the. Fight sky before slowly closing its red eyes and falling asleep.
((It's 6 am in England, so I am off to bed, I'll be back tomorrow))

 

[RazingCatfish]

"Nat," she said plainly. Whenever she was unsure about trusting people, Naomi responded with that name. "I travel a lot. Nothing special." She smirked after her last statement. She needed to get away from talking about herself, fast. "And where are you headed?" She began to speak in her normal, arrogant tone.

[FrostXShadow]

Amellios mentally jumped up and down 'good so I get to learn new spells that I can take down evil with..this should be fun' he gave a slight chuckle and then walked to spot and sat down. he began saying random incantations some made loud pops of light a some came out like a tinny quiet fire crackers he did this out of boredom he realized he didn't even know where they were going

Nachtjaeger followed. "How do I deserve to be in presence of such a kind man...", she said and giggled. "Your being so kind, I start thinking you try to take me on a date..."

 

[FadeAway]

(( Damn you guys reply a lot xD ))


Castle retreated back into her hood and watched them talk to one another. A shadow user and bounty hunter like herself isn't too comfortable spending time with a lot of other people unless she was asked to kill them for a client. While no one was asking for her name, her face faded into a dark abyss as she pouted slightly. Perhaps they could just get along and travel at the back of the carriage so that they could arrive at the capital faster before sundown. Then again, the town nearby looks like a great pitstop. "Two mages, a suspicious child, and a harpy traveling with a bounty hunter. What a diverse bunch we are," she laughed to herself as she bit on another stick of chocolate, "If you're traveling to the capital like we are. We can ride together, there's a village nearby and it's almost sundown. These lands get dangerous at night....even for a large group like ours." She folded her legs and leaned back on the backrest.

"Oh? Have you fallen for me that easily?" I said with a hint of amusement in my voice but I still look forwards almost close to the village.

Nachtjaeger laughed. "Hell no, i said it appears as if YOU wanted to date ME, no the other way around.", she said and then looked at the village. "So can we completely varporize this off the plantes surface or?"

@RazingCatfish


"Nice to meet you Nat." I stood up straight again and turn around to be faced with a bunch of flying lights. I stood there awestruck, "I'm heading to the capital..." I said with little to no interest at all while playing with the lights.


@FadeAway


I laugh a little and look your way, "Strange groups are one of the best groups" I said optimistically.

 

[Ras]

Ras slowly awoke to the sun shining through the trees and a morning breeze. The figure sat up and opened its bright red eyes. "ahh. Now, let's see. I think I'll go find a river and have a wash". it said simply. It stood up and wandered off. Eventually finding a river and sitting down on the land next to it.

 

[RazingCatfish]

Naomi cringed at Castle's comment. "Suspicious child? I assure you, I'm no kid." This just wasn't her day. She was sure that if any other comments were made, she would lose it.


"Anyway, you said... the capital?" She spotted a red flag. The capital meant home. She shuddered. I don't have any way out of this, she thought. She wasn't that familiar with the forest. When she ran from home, she managed to get help from a traveler. Chances were, she'd be killed or starve before she made it out if she were to back out now. She pondered all of it before finally commiting. "Fair enough." She wouldn't have to stay the whole trip anyway, would she?
