Training at Sunrise

[buildyourworld]

Who: Tieria and YOU
When: May 9th, a day AFTER Intro Log
Where: Caissa, Coastal District
What: Tieria organized a mass training session, hideous ensues?
Rating: Violence, language, more violence




If you made your way to the location, you're already one step closer upon completing your training because this part of the beach is the furthest away from any settlement or port and also the hardest to find. You probably found it by following other heroes' trail, or you're those who stumbles around until you found it or you're actually one of those who went scouting before the actual day.

Either way, congratulation for making it this far ( puns completely intended ). Surrounding the rocky beach is an even rockier cliff. Be careful not to stumble or you will find yourself in need of healing. Thankfully, there are Kings ready to make a guinea pig out of your healing needs around. Your training will be held on the round rock-carved deck overlooking the beautiful sea or on the less rocky stretch of the beach, depending on your Trainer's choice. If you're lucky, your Trainer might even have you hike up that rocky cliff. You may even treat yourself to Caissa's fantastic sunset if you made it up there in time!

In any case, once you've arrived at sunrise ( or rather when the sun has risen sufficiently over the horizon because you're that bad with direction or has no sense of time ) and is done catching your breath, you will come to a notice pinned on the tall fences that tells you to tie a ribbon ( in the buckets, also tied to the fence ) corresponding to the training you wish to partake in on your arm.

Stamina ( GREEN ) ✽ Endurance ( ORANGE ) ✽ Weapons ( BLUE ) ✽ Magic ( PURPLE )

The notice will also instructs those who volunteers to be Trainers to tie a different set of ribbons, with black stripe over the four corresponding colors, on their arm to help differentiate them and the course(s) they're instructing. Of course, if you turn out to be a terrible Trainer, Tieria will rip that ribbon off you and very possibly shoves you into the sea.

There are no training weapon available because you're supposed to bring your own magic weapon.
If you forgot, you can either run back for it or pick a different course.

There's also a clause in very bold red letters that forbid killing. Break it and you will be broken in return.

Are you done tying those ribbons? Then what are you waiting? Get moving!





(( OOC: Please indicate in your top level if your character is a Trainer (which course are they instructing?) or Trainee.
eg.: Harry Potter | TRAINER - MAGIC
eg.: Severus Potter | TRAINEE - EVERYTHING PLEASE

Feel free to mingle around! Make friends, frenemies and even better, rivals! ))

[ Ah. Good to know. He pauses, looking at her critically, thinking of their past times together. The children. The aftermath of Capablanca. He feels he knows a little of her, particularly from how she behaved with the kids, and it doesn't surprise him that she'd want to use magic in such a way. But protection and help -- those things take many forms. ]

That's what we all should be doing, of course. But you need a focus. An element. For example, I specialize in holy magic, a school capable of searing as well as mending.

[ He starts to pace. ]

Magic does not deal in vagaries, Alice. You must know precisely what you want, and you must apply your will fully to that desire. You must learn to control your mind in the same way that you control your hands or legs: utterly, and without conscious thought.

An element.

[ She doesn't like the sound of searing, nearly shuddering as she repeats it to herself. An element -- well, she can't think of any, all she can think of is something other than the opposite of what he picked, because she cannot think of one element at the moment.

Darkness. She found some solace in the dark and she would never need a lantern, never again. Determined to learn, Alice nodded and clung to that. ]

Then I know what element I want.

[ Alice glanced around to make sure no one else around to listen to them and then turns back to him. ]

What if you can't control your mind?

[ That must sound insane, so Alice rushes along, hoping to explain. ] In a sense of having too many thoughts?

[ She couldn't tell him she struggled to keep herself and her mind; she feared that he would see her just as insane as anyone else did back in her own world. ]

[ Adra's not bothered by her question, either way. Madness was thick on the ground in Azeroth; his own brother suffered from it, and Adra often danced along its edges, himself. It's not something he'd judge her for. Like a bad leg, it was just another obstacle to overcome. ]

Then you work on it. That's what training is for, right?

[ He smiles at her, gentle; encouraging. ]

Tell me what element you're thinking of, first.
