Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

Vasha leans up against the tree and tries to reach out to Arris again, embracing her, loving her.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Not really a tree, but no more than a tiny sapling, just barely shooting off from the ground, Vasha leans close towards it, kneeling, and as she closes her eyes and embraces Arris, she feels a trickle of water surrounding her, as a life-giving stream of water rises up from the ground around her knees.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles and sits in a comfortable position after putting her gear far away. She spends some time embracing Arris, and sharing her love. She explores her power to love the land and heal Arris of her wounds.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*She can't seem to do anything new beyond her training as an Ecomancer except this thing with the water, but as she spends time embracing Arris, more and more water rises up around her, until there is now a small stream where before there was nothing.*

 

[Bront]

"Can all Ecomancers do this?" she ponders, thining back to see if she remembers her father or anyone else doing this.

She continues to focus and rest, again, waiting till after the warmest part of the day has passed, and then moving on. Arris will be healed eventualy, but she dare not do too much at a time.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*She can't remember ever hearing about Ecomancers being able to do this, although she does remember that the most powerful Ecomancers can bring forth verdant growth with their magic, so it isn't too unreasonable of a power, all things considered.*

 

[Bront]

Perhaps her nymph heritage helps her connect on a deeper level, for she is an aspect of nature, and an aspect of Arris. Vasha wonders how to seek out more Ecomancers to ask them.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Since the art of Ecomancy is a very personal thing and the Ecomancers tended to be outlaws against the Dragonlords' authority, Vasha doesn't know of any real gathering-place for other Ecomancers.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha waits till it is time to move on, continuing to love Arris in her own way till she does.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*When the sun is low on the horizon, Vasha continues toward Valtharyn. Four days later, she sees the huge city on the horizon, covered in a giant dome to keep the environment inside pleasant.*
