TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Aardwalden’s brow raised. A bold claim to make! Curious. “Three Marks of Control? Schwizzit’ka,” he chuckled with a word of gnomish containing an entire phrase: Always more to learn, for the curious! “A true seeker of mysteries, and a brave one...

TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Aardwalden hugged himself curiously, stony fingers tapping audibly on a hard, rocky elbow while his eyes seemed to leer off into space with thought. “Hmm. I think Merethyl could take you on. I’ve been training her as well - you’ll like her, I t...

TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Aardwalden waited, and waited. A cool breeze stirred, as time wore on.

TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Aardwalden still gave pause to the simple height of the man ducking through his door, but he did not pry, instead opening his ears of rock. “Protective?” Aardwalden cusped his chin, and dawdled through the door, letting it clamour shut behind h...

TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - A raucous began first with the simple beat of wings, a destined man descending upon the earth.

TIMESTAMP: Ash 40th, 118 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Kalzasi was a place of wonder. Still miles away, he could see the smudges of cloudy, floating landmasses on the sky.

TIMESTAMP: Ash 33rd, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Ash 33rd, 122 Over days prior, in the afternoons, Aardwalden had been sculpting his body with Para-Elemental Quartz Glass. A tough material, lighter than the stone by perhaps a fifth. It started with an arm, on that first day. Then, another ar...

TIMESTAMP: Ash 30th, 122 [/size] NOTES: Elementalism Expert Quirk, Fire Bonding [/size] - - - Ash 30th, 122 Brewing within his soul a profound sense of discontent, Aardwalden came to the cold reality that much of the prior four days had been for naught. He was not yet a mage who could accomplish ev...

TIMESTAMP: Ash Xth, 122 [/size] NOTES: - [/size] - - - Distant chorus echoed in the dark, like a bitter dervish dancing through the halls.
