38th Day of Spring, 516 AV:
Location:
Inner Sanctum Location:
Nivel requested for the company of Numia the new pycon mage in the order for a training session in magic. She didn’t really need the companionship but it was just so boring to do solo. The two had briefly sorted out a time and location days prior but hadn’t made plans past that. They both had very different sets of magical disciplines that didn’t completely mesh well but they could probably learn from each other. Nivel had a very basic knowledge of all the known magical disciplines from her studies with her patron, but she would love to know more about what Numia’s skills.
There was also the strange feeling Nivel got during the few instances they’d been in contact. There were both pyconian mages so they had that in common, but she still felt that there was more to it than that. She wondered if they knew each other in a past life or if they were childhood friends but speculation wasn’t going to get her anywhere. Nivel would have to get to know the other pycon more if she was to figure out what ever their connection was.
She slipped under the heavy doors of the inner sanctum, the only place within syliras that was reserved entirely for magical practice. The abandoned laboratory had lived up to that name today, there wasn’t a soul in the place. Not that it was surprising, the Inner sanctum was usually pretty desolate with so few openly practicing mages. The one thing that was surprising was just how little dust and grime filled the place, usually there was at least some level of filth caked onto the floor and countertops. Nivel hoped Numia wouldn’t get to accustomed to the state of things since it was likely to regress back to its usual dingy self before long.
While Nivel waited for her training partner to arrive she decided to get an early start on her meditation. Nivel hoisted herself up onto one of the counters and with everything as clean as it was, decided to lay down fully onto the chilled surface. Once her back adjusted to the temperature she breathed in softly and focused her mind on the tips of her feet. She tensed up the clay in each of her extremities then released. Once she got to her nexus she envisioned putting pressure on it and then released all of her stress and worries. Nivel was so relaxed after her meditation that she almost felt like she could fall asleep. She just laid limp on the counter in perfect science until She felt Numia’s arrival.
“Oh..hey Numia” Nivel called out in a sleepy sounding voice when she finally noticed she was no longer alone. “Do you want to meditate with me?”
