The Fall of the Light

A Shadow of Sendings

 

 

With an orb made of crystal held steadily in her hands, Kerin sat cross legged on the floor of her quarters within the Tower of Ioun was interrupted by a strange chirruping sound as a golden, antlered creature pawed at her hair from the mattress behind her. "Filigree, please", the wizard intoned kindly. "I'm trying to concentrate here."She reached into a pocket of her robes and pulled out a small pile of nearly-fresh dandelion leaves. "Here, eat this and let me work. This is important."She refocused upon the orb in her hands. Care was necessary here; the messages had to convey the full intent but in no more than twenty-five words. Such a task could be difficult if not planned properly. Conjuring up an image in her mind of a tall and dour drow woman Kerin spoke her message, arcane energies tingling in the air as the words were given power and transported along the weave to their intended recipient.Taking a deep breath the wizard turned to watch the strange creature she had named Filigree paw through the leaves while her familiar, a rat named Nabu, watched lazily. "May as well get the rest over with", she thought to herself and turned her attention back to the orb. Over the next few days she sent out sendings to her friends and allies. Waiting patiently was never easy, not for Kerin, but it was something a wizard needed to learn very early in order to succeed.
