Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:

*As he approaches, he notices Alyria singing, as before, but despite his attempts at silence and the fact that she is looking in the opposite direction, as he is climbing, she suddenly swings her head to face him, her azure hair swirling around her and gleaming in the starlight as she does.*

"Ah, Zaeryn. Back for another lesson?"

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Guessing Alyria had probably put up some sort of warning spell after last night, he finishes climbing into the crows nest.*

“Yes Lyri, I’m ready for another lesson...hmm, I see you've taken precautions tonight to stop people sneaking up on you,” he replies grinning.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Why yes, brilliantly abduced, Zaeryn," Alyria replies with a smile, "Wouldn't want another surprise like last night, now would we?"
[/SBLOCK]

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Well I guess if it gives you piece of mind it’s worth it, though it doesn’t bother me in the least as you can tell from my dancing lessons right out on the deck,” Zaeryn replies smiling.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, who knows--next time it could be a Voidwight ascending with murderous intent," Alyria points out with a wink that shows she doubts that strongly.

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Well Lyri, I guess we’d better get on with this lesson since we’re well protected,” he replies grinning at Alyria’s preposterous speculation.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Well actually, you triggered my little alarm, so let me cast another?" she asks, quickly casting another spell before he can agree, "There, now we're all protected. Let's start with a breathing exercise and then a vocal warm-up, okay?"
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Okay, ready to go,” Zaeryn replies, laying down and beginning the breathing exercise.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Alyria leads Zaeryn through the breathing exercises slowly, her sweet voice guiding him, though her command to lie down with his eyes closed, listening to her voice as he breathes in and out deeply, has a slightly soporific effect.*

*As she starts guiding him through vocal exercises, she does a double-take and stares towards the ladder as a terrible moaning sound comes from below. Just then, a hideous decaying corpse with an aura of inky blackness that seems to suck in all light climbs up into the crow's nest, staring at the two Altanians with a look of sheer malevolence that causes a preternatural chill to run down Zaeryn's spine.*

[SBLOCK]“Umm, it seems very suspicious that we were just talking about a Voidwight and then one appears,” Zaeryn says as he disbelieves in the apparition before them.[/SBLOCK]
