The birth of an Archmage

[Archmage Turanis Altaine]

((This is just for mage or magic curious players to come and have fun, if any combat happens it will be a ways off. Enjoy.))

It is eight years before the Time of Troubles, not far from the city of Silverymoon is a valley hidden amongst the black spires of the sunset mountains. The valley was not very interesting unless you count the shattered remains of a Netherese Enclave. Near the center of these ruins sits a young man, not over twenty-three years old. His long black hair was tied back, leaving to lengths of hair framing his face. He leaned back and wiped the dust from his goggles and smiles, pulling out a long crystal staff.

Standing up he walked for a few minutes, reaching a small camp. A large tent stood with an awning in front, tables and a pair of chairs sitting beneath. He set the staff onto a table and flopped into one of the chairs. He reached up and pushed his goggles onto his forehead, smiling as a gentle breeze passed through. With a small grunt he streached, looking towards the noontime sky.

In a secluded area of the woods Lia bathed in the warm waters of a slow moving river.
In her own time she left the water and sat dried herself in the cool breeze, braiding parts of her long chestnut brown hair. Humming a small tune to herself she gets up and puts on her green robe and hide boots, then heads slowly back toward the camp. Collecting her wooden staff on the way.

Keiran had fallen asleep, a smile on his face as a gentle breeze blew past. He wore no shirt or shoes, a pair of black pants was the only peice of clothing on him. He wasn't buff by any means, but his slender figure shown the he did have muscles.

The tent flap opened, a small, silver psuedo-dragon flew over to him and chirped. Hearing Lia approach Ichina flew up to her, jumping into her arms. Making a purring noise, she pointed to Keiran and nudged her chest.

[Little Blue Dragon]

Lia smiled as Ichina flew to her "Hello. He's back then is he.." She purrs to the small dragon and heads quietly towards the tent.
Stooping down she leans in.
Ichina then flies out of her arms and scrambles over his chest chirping. Lia laughed and sat down just in the entrance of the tent.

Keiran woke when Ichina landed on him, with a smile he picked her up off of his Ebony skinned chest. He set the little dragon on the bed and stood up, looking at Lia with his violet eyes. "How was your bathe Love?" Silently Keiran stepped behind her and began to massage her shoulders, knowing she liked it.

[Little Blue Dragon]

"It was great the water was so warm you should have come along." She laughed and looked up into his eyes. Sighing as he massaged her shoulders. "Did you sleep well?"

[Archmage Turanis Altaine]

Keiran smiled as he walked to the table, sitting down on a high stool. "My nap was okay, but I couldn,t let myself sleep for long with this..." he held up the crystal rod to the light, "I found it in the southeastern part of the ruins. I didn't see anyone today so our little secret's safe for now..." He leaned over and grabbed a book for a stack on the table's edge, quickly opening it and turning to a certain page. He began mumbling as he turned pages and made notes.

Ichina looked at Lia as if to say "there he goes again..."

[Little Blue Dragon]

Lia gazed at the crystal rod - it was beautiful.
"You found it - how? I mean was it just lying on the floor?
She wasn't sure if he was even listening to her. She smiled as he busied himself and walked over to the bed and gathered Ichina in her arms.

Keiran smiled as he thumbed through a book, "No, it was in a pocket inside the ruins... a trapped pocket..." He muttered raising his left hand to show an acid burn form his wrist to elbow. Sighing, Keiran got up and walked out into the deepening dark. Being Drow he prefered the dark, but now he lit the fire the normal way and sat down.
after it had burned to a good size he stuck the acid burn inside the flame, holding as long as he could. Without making a sound he pulled out a small aloe leaf and began to treat it.

[Little Blue Dragon]

She asked as she slowly followed him out and sat near the fire."Well what were you doing in the ruins"

[Archmage Turanis Altaine]

Keiran winced slightly as he let the aloe soak in, "Well, I was looking for spellbooks left behind by the Netherese wizards... I thought the building I was in might have been a school, but it turned out to be... a tavern." Despite his wounds he laughed as he stared at the stars, thankful that he had escaped to the surface and found Lia. He looked at her, She's my heart...

[Little Blue Dragon]

Lia sat near the fire staring up into the sky. Sighing deeply she turned and looked at Keiran, she then got up and sat close to him resting her head on her hands she gazed lazily into the flames of the fire.

[Archmage Turanis Altaine]

The fire burned low as the two lover's slept in eachothers arms, but as all moments do tihs one passed as the sun's light came into the valley. Keiran woke, his skin still feeling slight discomfort at the sun. He stood up and walked towards the stream, he mumbled in a strange tongue as he knelt by the water's edge.

[Little Blue Dragon]

Lia woke not long after Keiran did. She yawned and stretched. Giving the sleeping Ichina a gentle poke as she passed her Lia followed Keiran to the stream. Leaning against a tree she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and smiled.

[Archmage Turanis Altaine]

Keiran smiled as he stood up and began to remove his clothing, "Sleep well?" Silently he dove into the water, coming up with just his startling eyes above the water.
