10 Spring 513 OOC: Learned of how to initiate here IC: It had not been that long since Clyde had left Mura, and made it to shore. He had been lucky to hook up with a caravan heading to Ravok. Once he had shown them his apprentice badge to the Stryfe, they had gladly brought him along. After all, having the extra protection of a Ebonstryfe apprentice, did not hurt... Of course, he left out what had happened to the last caravan he had hooked up with, on his way back to Ravok... So now all that was left was the long monotonous walk back to Ravok... Occasionally taking watch. Eating the meager food they had to share... Doing the same thing day after day, until it all blurred into an endless meaningless haze of memory... That was what he had to look forward to. But Clyde was not one to waste time. If he had this long expanse of time open, he would work on his skills. What better way to spend this time, than working on a new magic skill. He had heard a good bit about voiding back in Ravok, from a girl at the Silver Silver. Terms, themese, bits to what voiding was. So he had a general understanding of how it worked, from back then. However, he had yet to actually make a portal to the void, and done his first bit of voiding. That is what he would work on. He tried to recall back to that time... What had she said... She had said you needed to be isolated... Well you did not get much more alone than this. And though he was with the rest of the caravan, he was just as alone as if he had not been. No one but Rye to watch his back... So that was a check. He needed to learn to understand the concept of empty, of the void... His mind flickered back to when she had opened a portal, to the black emptiness... She had said voiding worked by... Using djed, to empty a point of everything... To drain it of anything at all, even energy... And in so doing, a portal to the void was created, a hole through which things could cross into the void. |
