What is happening? I feel a void expanding. Light, Magic, reality itself is bending. "Baalhan rise from your slumber! God's hear me! Answer me!" I am shouting in a thousand tongues so ancient that only deities remember them. The winds scream in panic and attempt to flee. I rein them in with great difficulty. I rush to Zeras's side. "We have to get down now. Something is coming our way fast. Something powerful."

"See what?"

"The outpost is supposed to be here," he muttered. "Surely they can't have moved that much...?"

All of sudden, he notices a plume of smoke off to one side on the horizon. He lets out a breath - but still seems tense.

"This way," he says, molding the winds to shape his fall into flight towards the plume of smoke. "The outpost should be this way. It has to be."

"Who are you?" Vapor asked.

As Zeras zipped across the waves, he saw a large island become visible on the horizon. For a moment he let out a sigh of relief.

Then he saw what was causing the smoke.

Half of the island was up in flames, sending dancing streamers of orange and red into the sky. Scattered among them was traces of a strange black fire.

"Blitka," he cursed. "You were right that we had to watch out..."

He swerved towards one side of the island, where the remains of a building could be seen among the burnt remains of the forest that had once covered it. "Land there," he called out. "If anywhere on this island is safe, it's in there."

8 minutes ago, Vapor said:

"Who are you?" Vapor asked.

"What's happening?"

"Shadow-kin," Zeras said grimly. "If I had to guess, likely a whole flock of croven are heading this way right now."

A single command propels me downward toward the smoke. Unease takes me as the void approaches. I touch down and feel a power so great that I'm forced to one knee. The winds run when I free them. I reach for them, but I feel nothing. I force myself to stand as Zeras lands beside me.

"Here," says Zeras, running up to the building and holding open the door. "Get inside. We should be safe from the Shadow-kin here."

Kindness stares into the building.  "Oh, I don't like the dark."

"That's just the entrance," Zeras assured her. "It should get lighter further in. Don't worry, nothing dark would dare enter here while the island still stands."

I steel myself and rush inside. Dozens of sphere of light answer my call and burst to life. I unleash a string of curse in Sumerian when I feel the lights dim. "What did this? We are cut off from the divine realms. Who has such power?"

"Okay," She takes a deep breath and walks in.

Zeras made sure everyone was inside, then let the door swing shut. "Tazeroth's doing, I would suppose. Don't worry, she's just being cautious."

"Explain yourself." My voice grows stoic.

Zeras starts off down the tunnel, which slopes slightly downwards. "There are many who would wish to steal her power for themselves. She must defend herself any way she can."

"Tazeroth's the island," his daughter piped up. "In case you didn't know."

I follow after Zeras. "Mighty must these powers be to block even the communications of gods and draw from my mastery of the skies."

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

"I've never heard of a sentient island," Kindness says thoughtfully.  "I wonder what it's like."

[Vapor she/her]

Vapor approaches the woman. "Who are you?"

[Mist she/her]

The tunnel grew darker as they walked deeper. "You can call me Miss T. Night," said the woman. She had slipped into the tunnel just behind Vapor.

She was dressed in mottled green clothes, with a bow slung across her shoulder. Strangely enough, she had no arrows.

"It's less about the power," said Zeras's daughter, "and more about how she uses it."

"Misty Knight?" Vapor asked, mishearing. "And where are your arrows?"

*pauses* "My quiver fell off. You're not going to ask my first name? That's a relief."

Quote

I can actually make force fields, including arrows, although the island is blocking that right now.

 

[Vapor she/her]

"Your first name? What is it, Miss... T?" Vapor looks at Miss T. suspicious. "And where is your quiver?" She shakes her head, as if clearing it. "Sorry. I'm not myself lately. I've been super emotional. Is 19 too old for mood swings?"
