Vacant () (-)You gained nothing Spinal_Taper (Tyrion Answeller) () LOCKED IN COMBAT.
You gained nothing! Greenstarfanatic (Arnok Baralkin) Arnok, seeing as the two Kitsune seem to know what they're doing, follows behind, killing the occasional bug or bird with that spark skill of his. If there just aren't any, begin reading the Spark of Life aloud to Lily while walking. It's a good way to memorize the important stuff.
(-) You walk with Aria, as she is the only one not running or speeding after Tatsuo. You open the book and flip to some random page.
"Chapter 14: Giving shape to lightning."Wait... In the first chapter it says that you cannot give shape to lightning magic, only redirect.
"Can you give shape to lightning using only lightning? The answer is still no. It was only when i studied with an astronomy mage that i found the way to give shape to lightning.
In the first chapter i mentioned that you can contain thunder only in an object, this requires you to have the said object with you. This is not only a burden but also limits your possibilities in using thunder as an varied weapon or tool.
The only way to shape lightning is using a lesser-form of astro-magic designed by me and probably known as shape magic. This is where it gets a little bit tricky. You basically LIMIT the space the magic may use and contain it within that space, this increases it volatility but power as well.
That is how powerful mages don't destroy entire towns when they use magic. In space, also known as everything around you, you can designate everything in lenght,width,height and time. We will call this X,Y,Z,T. So to give shape you need to designite the X,Y,Z,T of a shape and use raw mana to create the shape. If you use any other mana, then you will use the traits that you know of the element and thus corrupt the shape.
but-"
You get interrupted by Theri and partially by Lily as they give you a heads up that you shouldn't doze off in your book as trouble may be ahead.
You gained nothing Vacant () (-)You gained nothing Ironyowl (Silk) Try to keep up with Tatsuo on the ground.
(-) Tatsuo starts moving from tree to tree, at first you can keep up with him by running. Ever so slowly he increases his speed until he dissapears from your sight, you still sprint from a minute but it's not enough.
He's fast, but that won't stop me.
You gained nothing Caellath(Tatsuo) Leap from tree to tree towards the estimated location of the hive.
(-) You jump from tree to tree to the assumed location of the hive, each increasing jump you travel faster until..
[AGI req (6) < (10): Reached!] a tree branch snaps! You lose grip for a second but quickly use the tree to propel yourself forward to another tree and grab the nearest branch to swing yourself into the air. You perfectly land on the branch.
Your years of experience jumping the blossoms made you kinda accustomed to this, but you had your fair share of bruises in the past.
The rest couldn't catch up with you, so you decide to wait. The hive is mere minutes away from your current location, so grouping up and discussing a plan could prove useful.
You gained nothing Tiruin(Theri Aria ) Theri had chosen to not reply to that singular question, instead excusing herself-which she hoped in a subtle way-as she went past several lower-plants and 'scouted ahead' so to speak. As Tatsuo was climbing up, she wondered and introspected.
Was he the different one, or she?
Concentrate on the sounds and their sources; keep aware of my surroundings and focus on the senses-smell, hearing and sight-to discern any danger in my environment as well as any sign of our goal.
(7! Regular success!) "Was he the different one, or she?" you think. You are a bit unsure as you have never met a fox folk in your past. You have learned that most of them live on an island in excluded from the other races and know some of their beliefs, besides that they seem as a very mysterious race
Tatsuo seems to have gone gone ahead. You use all of your senses to spot anything hostile.
You see some crows rapidly flying away west of where Tatsuo went. Sudden things are usually a bad sign, you ought to catch-up with Tatsuo. Fast.
You gained nothing!_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Weapon: Fuuma Shuriken - A big, unwieldy weapon Tatsuo is fully capable of wielding without being hindered.
Personal item: Remarkable kuji-in sealed scroll given to him by his family, it carries a minor regeneration spell.
Skill: Acrobatics
Small bio: Coming from a family of monster-hunters, Tatsuo was introduced to his group's business a bit too late for their standards due to a small conflict which had some of his family want to have him as a holy priest due to his soft features and appearance, instead of being thrown into the rough life of a monster-killer. In the end, he was still submitted to the training of a monster hunter starting from his early teens and indoctrinated with a belief monsters and demons should be viewed either as targets or at least as possible targets. Due to that, he sees any demon with deep suspicion.
He received training with various martial weapons, showing little interest on the production of kuji-in seals (ninja scrolls) and focusing on acrobatics and the use of the fuuma shuriken.

Level: Novice (3/4)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Foxfolk//Kitsune
Weapon: Composite Longbow
Personal Item: A small opalescent orb -- perhaps only of sentimental value to the young kitsune? It is translucent.
Affinity: Light
Bio: A being in the lands of mortal men, Theri was an outcast who lived a mostly nomadic life. Apart from her kin and clan in the lands where the blossoms lay, she took mostly of an aspect from humanity -- she knew nothing of those who her kinfolk served, but knew of those which served the land and the truth.
Theri only had one thing that reminded her of a different world, a gift that was said to have been found at her birth by her human guardians, the orb that now hangs from her belt. It was said, that she was found near one of the shrines dedicated to Inari - the god of foxes and rice, along with other associated ideas. Expecting no more than a poor animal to nurse back to health, she was taken in by those who found her -- humans.
Now, given her upbringing, Theri was still treated like those who inhabited the wilderness and dread-lands of the world: like filth and like a monster. Her single tail and fox-like ears set her apart despite her feminine body, which was covered with a soft blanket of silver fur, was considered quite attractive by those who used to scorn her for laughs.
She decided to prove them all wrong when opportunity presented itself, honing her skill as a huntress in the meantime. By joining their forces of Volikmar.
