MAJOR EVENTS

THE MAGIC GUILD
Lauralae meets Saber who promises to introduce her to the Magic Guild to help her with her curse - the first to know some of the finer details - in return for assistance with regards to blood magic and bonding. [ ]

BLESSING IORVETH
At the Pool of Souls at Samhain Lauralae leaves Iorveth with a mark of her lips on his hand; a blood magic blessing, it keeps him from some measure of harm for when she is away from him. [ ]

TOUCHING CLARKE
The very first time Lauralae has embraced someone since she was a young girl. [ ]

SUMMARY OF KNOWN DETAILS
Lauralae's foremost desire before timeskip began was to expand her range of power and adapt for her survival now that she has found a shardholder that she has claimed as her own; she means to protect him, if only so she can claim her shard as his own as soon as possible. Spending time with Iorveth has not softened her at all - if anything it has hardened her and made her more difficult to be around, her rather violent nature, inspired by her curse, inflamed by his company and his own rather cruel turn.

Throughout the timeskip itself Lauralae had moved around, travelling from place to place in order to learn as much as possible about shard magic and what she might be able to use it for. She traded her own knowledge, blood magic and it's power, for whatever magic shard users could teach her and she holds on to it, craving it and uses it to further herself. She has learned how to control and manipulate water, to heal and obtained gifts - she also travelled to Redgate to learn more about blood granite, eventually obtaining some of her own.

She has grown a little more confident over the last year but she has also fallen prey to more of the darkness that she suffers from; she kills without hesitation, now, more than just to eat but also for defence, and she doesn't care about the lives she takes. In spite of that she does have more hope; knowing that she has people that name her friend who intend to help her softens the anger that she feels on a regular basis.

Late September - Nimh Gleanne

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-24 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
[After Saber had spent some time at the Spire in Nimh Gleanne with the Baroness there, showing her the basics of falconry as she had gifted Elle with her own golden eagle, she had set out at a leisurely pace on her way back to her seat of power at Arachne's Eye. It was a good thing she had taken her time because she realized about an hour out that she had forgotten to buy jerky for her own eagle and the snowy-white eagle made his protests known when he was hungry.

So, the king turned around and headed back to the Spire. Once she had the jerky, she sat on a low wall on the outskirts of the settled land to feed him. Her horse looked up and snorted at the sound of someone approaching, but a soft word from Saber calmed him as she looked over - her eagle perched on her shoulder and a tell-tale silver crown upon her brow - to see who was arriving.]

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-24 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[The eagle looked up, ruffled his feathers a little, but another piece of jerky made him turn his attention from the approaching woman. It seemed her felt safe enough with Saber there that he didn't feel the need to take wing. Or it could have been the food.

Saber took in the woman - a native from the looks of her - and nodded.]


Just Saber is fine. I am not feeling the need for formalities today.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-26 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Saber glanced over and a small smile touched her lips.]

I had been delivering a present to the Baroness. [A hand came up to stroke the eagle's head gently.] Her own golden eagle to train. And it is nice to see this Spire growing, to see the leaves in this forest begin to turn color.

[She looked back at the other woman.] May I have your name, my lady?

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-26 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
A pleasure, Lady Lauralae. [Saber inclined her head toward the eagle.] This is Bedivere. He is well-trained and he has been kissed by the magic of the Monarchs. You need not worry about him.

[She tilted her head a bit.] Why do you think birds tend to dislike you? I am simply curious.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-26 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hatred is just another thing to accept and move on from. Some of us have duties that bring great hatred upon us. Some are made stronger from it.

[Saber spoke that all in a very conversational way, breaking off another piece of jerky for the eagle.]

So what does this creature of magic and darkness before me seek today?

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-26 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
I never had such concerns; you give off the feel of one that has never willfully cowered before anything. Or anyone.

[Saber put the jerky away and the eagle took flight, circling overhead before settling on a nearby tree.]

Do you call the the Spire home or somewhere else within Nimh Gleanne?

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2015-03-26 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
My Spires are all held by shardbearers, and you are welcome at any of them. The laws of Dorchadas apply, but we are Unseelie. [And with that came a lot of leniency when it came to a good bit of law.]

This one is more military based than the others, and there is a decent vampire presence here, but you would still be welcomed.

Summer

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-01 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Clara had heard whispers of a woman traveling the woods who knew of a magic that was different from that used in the courts. Blood magic. Wild and free and dangerous. How could she resist?

It wasn't just the mystery that drew her in but the idea of magic. A raw magic that had power. She'd known magic before the battle and it had done her little good. In fact, her poor attempts to interpret the visions from the fairy bowl had nearly gotten her killed. It was useless. And she'd been as defenseless as a child on the day the Jabberwhelp struck Caer Glaem. Her scars were a bitter reminder of that. So when she'd heard the rumors, something within her had stirred and compelled her to go seek it out. It was, in a strange way, a way to regain her pride. Pride was a dangerous motivator.

So she entered the woods, dressed in a dark cloak to fit the quiet darkness of the shadowed trees. She was armed with a sword and had brought a chiseled stone from the Cothromach as an offering to the woman in exchange for learning new gifts. Now the question was... finding her. She'd sent a message to the forest but it hadn't been returned, though she was certain it had been received.

Clara raised her lantern over her head in order to light the path in front of her.]


Hello? It's... Clara. I'm looking for someone who could teach me magic. And I'm hopefully not just madly talking to the trees.

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-04 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Point.

I've probably talked to trees before. Think I have. Mostly I was just looking for an excuse not to keep talking to myself.

[Clara watches the other figure step out from the shadows. She was certain that the woman had always been there, perhaps simply in another form. Naturally, she pushes her weight onto the back of her heels in case she has to whip around and make a run for it. But even still, she stands firm and looks the native in the eye.]

I've been looking for you. But I figure you already know that.
parallels: (STRONG ★)

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-05 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
I ought to start listening more. I don't spend enough time out in the forests.

[Clara's eyes flit over the woman's hands. Long enough that she knows Lauralae caught her watching but quick enough that she has enough plausible deniability if called out. Trick of the light or not, Clara has a feeling that there is magic in the air and she must tread carefully.]

I do. If I'm to continue here. I must learn magic.

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-08 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes danger is worth the risk.

[She reaches into her bag and pulls out a lovely obsidian stone that's been decorated with etched symbols and golden paint.]

A rare stone from the Cothromach. If it's not enough, I'm willing to barter other things.
parallels: (WITH NATURE ★)

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Clara obliges and drops the egg sized stone into the other woman's palm.]

It's not a common stone in the halls of the Cothromach. They've only found a few in all the time they've been hallowing out the halls of the city. Supposedly, they bring good fortune and some say they might have magical properties. That's just rumors though.
parallels: (you're total amateur ★)

[personal profile] parallels 2015-04-10 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Not much, honestly.

[She doesn't quite sit, but she leans against a tree and stares at the ground in front of her. It's mossy and dirty. The trees are so thick the grass barely grows.]

I have a magic seeing bowl. Fill it with rain water and I see... visions. Of the past, future, sometimes even things that are happening right now. But they're vague. Unreadable. When I've tried in the past I've gotten them entirely wrong.
