Closed Res-ilience [Annalisa]

[Tsaba]

So that would be Tsaba's two mentors in the same place, then. She wondered if they would meet. Probably best not to try to introduce them to each other.

"Good luck in Sahova," Tsaba said. "I hope this isn't too intrusive a question, but do you intend to remain, well, alive?" Sahova could be dangerous for the living, but the reimancer, of course, would know that. It struck Tsaba that Master Marin would be quite a bit younger than her, and although more experienced in magic, probably much less so in other areas. She kept forgetting how young humans were. Maybe she should send Craun a note...

No. Master Marin's decisions weren't any of Tsaba's business. If she needed guidance or protection, she'd find her own. That wasn't Tsaba's job. Tsaba's job was to learn. But she would have to try to keep in contact with Master Marin, if only to update her on her own address. Tsaba did intend to travel herself. Eventually. Of course, the human might be dead by then. Tsaba had just bought a cottage; she was in no hurry to leave.

"When do you leave?" she asked. If she must lose another Master, she would at least be sure to say goodbye. She'd successfully put Tsaba through the initiation, after all; even if she proved an ineffective instructor from a distance, she'd given Tsaba the wherewithal to expand her studies on her own.

Tsaba glanced at her wrists. Another stupidly dangerous initiation survived. At least this time that had been the intended result.

Well, she was bound to hit good fortune eventually.

Anna chuckled slightly at Tsaba's question, it was a valid inquiry as far as she was concerned. Sahova was supposedly not exactly welcoming to the living, of course the difference between her and some other living wizard was that she was far more skilled than most. Her University given education and prodigal grasp of personal magic was formidable, her Chaon also made her a potent manipulator. She cast the Nuit a sidelong glance, her grey eyes filled with slight amusement.

Naturally life was a preferable thing to undeath, certainly immortality had its perks but what was the cost? Looking at Tsaba and having met a number of ghosts Anna knew that it was a line she was not in a hurry to cross. She was strong as she was, becoming undead was a last resort as far as she was concerned. Besides, Anna was uncertain how accepting Uldr's gift would affect her worship of Rhysol. The last thing she wanted was to be rejected by the Lord of Lies.

"Good luck indeed, I have a feeling I'll need it Tsaba. I would much rather remain living, though plans change to suit the situation so we'll have to see. I suspect I'll have some difficulty getting adjusted to the island, however Zeltiva is proving to be a bit... dangerous as of late."

"If all things go according to plan, I should be leaving somewhere between the 25th to the 30th. I'm confident that I'll make it to the Island later in the season, though after that who can say?" Anna said, annoyed at unknown variables.

It was an odd feeling, to talk of leaving the place that had been her home for all of her life to this point. She had yet to break the news to her mother, figuring it would be best to tell her a little later. Given the ghost's feelings towards magic Anna was unsure of how the woman would respond, it was unlikely she would approve. The wizard had known that one day her quest for knowledge and belonging would take her from Zeltiva. As accepting as the city was it still took a cautious stance towards magic, Sahova seemed much more welcoming to powerful wizards.

It went deeper than that though, a part of her old self that slowly appeared more and more as the days spent with her mother went by. She had always dreamed of travelling the world when she had been a little girl, seeing sights most men could only dream of. Even older as she was, Anna could not deny that wanderlust still remained buried deep within her. Sahova seemed a practical first stop, to advance her magical capabilities and learn more of the world at the same time.

She was silent for chime, content to simply listen to the lapping waves for the moment as they walked along the beach. It calmed the writhing chaos within her, the destructive desires. Her grey eyes gazed out back towards the city in the distance, this was likely the last time before sailing out of the bay she would get to look upon it in such a way. It was sobering to some degree.

"In any event, Tsaba. I thought it should be said but you have made a fine student and apprentice. Should our paths cross again after I depart I look forward to hearing of your progress." Anna offered, falling silent again.

Yes indeed, things were going to change but change was the product of chaos so that was not a bad thing. She had risen to a respectable position easily in Zeltiva, she would do the same in Sahova. Nothing, not the undead, not other wizards, or politicians would stand in her way for long. Rhysol had marked her for the potential he'd seen in her, she would show him that his choice had been correct.

OOCSorry this took me a while, Sahova is pretty crazy lol. I think this is my last post, feel free to post your last one and I'll submit it for grading.
