The Ecomancer
Vhalia advanced timidly towards the circle of Mojiin Preservers, glaring down at her from their great height with their sharp, reptilian eyes.
"We smell the scent of the accursed arcane magic of the Dragonlords upon you, girl." one of the Mojiin spoke, its scales blood-red and splendid in the dawn's light, "If we were like the Avengers and showed not mercy towards the evil ones, your tainted blood would we have long since spilled."
"Please," Vhalia entreated, "I'm not like the Dragonlords. Please don't hold my race in prejudice because of the actions of those monsters. I...I love Arris as much as you, honoured ones, and I have found a way for my people to live with her in harmony. I wish to show it to you and yours, so that we may journey to greater understanding of Arris together."
"Smoke and mirrors!" the crimson-scaled Preserver said, "What need have we of your arcane theories. Well we know that we can protect Arris by respecting her true children, the animals and plants, as well as the Mojiin. Nothing more is necessary."
"I beg of you...please...at least give me a chance. I invoke the Mother's Entreaty upon you!"
The Mojiin grumbled among themselves at that, then they turned to the red one who said, "Very well then. We cannot refuse the Mother's Entreaty."
Vhalia took a deep breath and closed her eyes, feeling the ley lines of power that ran beneath her throughout the world, connecting nature, magic, life, though, everything. Then she weaved the energy around her and filtered it through herself, giving back all that she was taking and more, a synergistic combination greater than the sum of its parts. As she did so, beautiful flowers began to blossom all around her, a gentle rainbow of life that invigorated her even as she brought it forth. Finally, she called out to the water hidden beneath the ground, ground that was now cracked and parched as quiet testimony of a long-ago Dragonlord's greed. As she did so, the water came forth, flowing out to the surface and creating a new natural stream, one that would feed the land and help it heal.
The Red-scaled Mojiin was at first watching disinterestiedly, disdainfully sure that this was simply a Valsian trick, but then its eyes widened, and it began to smile as a small tear came to its eye. Then it went forward on one knee and bowed towards Vhalia. "Child of Arris, I apologise for my earlier words towards you. I was wrong to judge you for the sins of your people. To all of us, you shall forever more be an honourary Mojiin of family Valjin. Now please, if you would honour our people by instructing us in this art, we would be forever in your debt."
