So begins a new age of knowledge.

Although they are only breath, words which I command are immortal. - Sappho Housed in District Zeta Retained - Three bolts of energy may be fired per day.

Words of Power

One thing the Invoker had to get used to when he arrived in the city was the very concept of cities. The mage would spend a majority of his times in small villages and in solitude in the countryside. As a child, he enjoyed the company of travelling bands of foreigners, always eager to share a magic word or two.

Not to mention the rapid rate of modernization that the world had taken since his days of true mortality. Smartphones and streetlights and large skyscrapers which would hide the very sun, all of these things provided quite the eyesore. It was on a nice cliff that the Invoker found himself. A popular point for those couples intoxicated with love and affection to take a good look at the city before engaging in pleasures of the flesh.

But one thing that he had to get used to and one thing that he never quite got used to was loneliness. Silence brought on by one’s self-declared solitude. Taking in a breath, he made his presence known with his usual candor, to whomever would be willing to listen.

“ What a view. “

A Curious Cabal

fervormeisanguis:

If Kayneth had known the other was immortal, he would have scoffed. If you have literally all the time in the world to waste why be bothered by someone who takes a few extra seconds to pass by you? Nevertheless, hearing those words hurt somewhere deep within Kayneth’s heart. The stranger wasn’t quite wrong, but there was still enough pride that the mage would take offence.

“Please. If I wanted to I could be infinitely more than a mere frustration.” If he had had access to the full catalogue of his magecraft. “Pushing and bullying your way to get what you want will obviously result in resistance. Or did you never learn that with what little education a boorish lout like you would have received?” Still, Kayneth relented, and began wheeling himself down the hallway again, muttering under his breath.

Unbeknownst to the Invoker Kayneth was whispering in Latin. “Fervor, mei sanguis.” From a nearby water bucket and mop, water began to trickle out and onto the floor, creating a magnificent puddle behind the mage. No one did petty like an Archibald.

 The ant is bound to have a few unsavory words for the boot it finds itself under. “ The Invoker did not try to bother and talk the other magus down, knowing it would be futile and a waste of perfectly usable oxygen. Now witnessing actual motion taking place on the other’s part, the Invoker continued along his path down the hallway, stopping to audibly groan once he found his boots covered in dirty water. 

He didn’t immediately attribute this parlor trick to the figure wheeling in front of him, but he could have sworn that he murmured something before the unfortunate incident that ruined his shoes. 

“ Hearken unto me, lame one. Did I hear minor incantation from your maw?”

His confidence made her raise a brow– interesting, this one. His voice was marked with an arrogance that made Saki cringe a bit. She looked around the venue as if pleading to whoever she met eyes with, thinking with each second that passed that this was not a very good way to make friends. 

For one, Saki was definitely not a master at the game. She just lacked the ability to have patience for what she called a silly game. It is also known that Satoru beat her at the game (hilariously, at that) more times than she could count– causing her to abandon it completely.

She huffed, { Okay. }

Saki sits before the stranger, eyeing the ivory-colored pieces in front of her. The girl did not even intend to win but there wasn’t any harm in trying. Moving a piece with her cantus–

She froze. She could not move the pawn.

Her intense stare may have caused the other before her to raise some questions but Saki was far too shocked to care at that moment. 

"Curious.”

The sorcerer tapped his fingers impatiently on the cold, stone table. Time was going by very slowly, it would seem, and the stalling from his partner’s end was beginning to bore him. With a rather audible chuckle, he folded his arms over his chest and opened his mouth to make another rude remark.

“I can see why one would freeze in my ever imposing company. It is a common, yet false saying that for one to learn truly, one must fail. For one to learn completely and wholly, however, one must be taught by that which can only learn.”

The Invoker then smiled and moved one of the girl’s knights from her side of the board, jumping over some pawns.

“If you won’t play, I’ll just have to play for you.”

dotalore:

so most mages spend their whole time remembering a couple spells and thats all they really need but invoker unlocked the mysterious power of nemonic devices and remembered all the shit he wanted to, so he knew a shit ton of spells. so one day he found out the spell for infinite life, used it on himself, then forgot about it

also he had some name or whatever but they mistranslated when he went into the mage’s college of winterhold and they started calling him carl, and he got really fucking pissed about it

Saki had yet to be accustomed to the new lifestyle she had to live out– she had so much time in her hands. The last time she remembered being so free was when she still a kid. With no paperwork to do or meetings to attend, all she did ease into life here and she could maybe make a few acquaintances.

She did not expect to meet this kind of person though.

The garishly-dressed male seemed to be calling out to no one in particular. There lay a chessboard on the table in front of him– he was looking for a challenger. Saki canted her head to the side and approached slowly, wondering if it was a mistake to go near. He sounded rather….haughty.

{ …May I, sir? } maybe he did not look like he would make a good friend– but Saki did not mind trying. She even remembered playing a few chess games before with Satoru– her skills were rusty, but having a game or two wouldn’t hurt anyone.

A wide smile graced the features of the sorcerer, who gave the young girl a nod and gestured to the other side of the board. The Invoker’s side of the board contained the black pieces. He preferred to adapt his strategies to the moves of those he fought, rather than make the first move.

“ A truly brave soul, willing to fight the learned one at a game of wits. Sit, child, and witness true skill.“

Chess was a game that he prided himself in mastering over the years and many a foe was he able to secure gold from, only to chuck his winnings in the nearest waste receptacle. The real prize was having another small addition added to the cavernous valley which housed his pride, his ever swollen ego.

“ Your move. “

A Curious Cabal

fervormeisanguis:

The paralysis of his body had changed Kayneth in many ways. It had limited his mobility, it had stunted some of his self-confidence, and it had reduced what was once a proud man into something a little less than that. Of course, Kayneth had learned that where the door to his legs had closed, a very different kind of window had opened.

People seemed to be more… lenient on the mage, in some ways. More willing to tolerate his gripes, his pride, his arrogant speech. Perhaps it was because they pitied him. The thought of the pity of inferior people made Kayneth shiver. He didn’t need anyone’s pity. He could do just fine on his own.

Of course, by thinking on these things Kayneth had inadvertently slowed his movement speed to a crawl, and a rather irritated voice was piping up behind him. Feeling the nudge “I shall move through this hallway at the speed I damn well please, thank you very much, and there is nothing you, or anyone else, can do to change that.” Folding his arms, Kayneth would not budge an inch.

The hallway was rather narrow and all the longevity spells in the world could never return to him the time that was being stolen by this frustratingly arrogant man. How one gets so difficult cannot be grasped even upon aeons of endless research, thought the Invoker, ironically enough.  “ I’ll not be stopped by the likes of you, a bitter, lame husk of what was probably a man. “

Much worse than being slowed down by this stranger, he decided to completely stop. Doing his best to curb his anger, the Invoker pinched the bridge of his nose and stood still and quiet for a few moments before giving the wheelchair a much stronger nudge, what one would call a forceful push.

“ A rather curious way of trying to make whatever meaning exists in your pathetic life more frustrating to those around you. A sad, little insect trying to make others around him sadder. “

「Is there… something on my face? You’ve been staring at me for a while now.」Noel legitimately seemed concerned about how he was staring for a little while. He’s kind of unsettling.

“ If you were able to detect my lack of pupils, you would note that I could be staring at a multitude of places, with flawed logic like that. “ The sorcerer pointed at a scene directly behind the girl, involving a number of scientists who appeared to be hauling a poor soul away to a dark alley.

“ This area is a great mystery in itself, is it not? “

Sleep and eating were two necessities the Invoker was able to go without, but enjoyed to partake in every now and again, if only for the sheer pleasure of it. This sort of activity was also only a necessity if an abundance of time was present in any given period that he was not able to fill with intellectual pursuits. While he was unable to depart from this realm or summon the prime elements he had become so accustomed to for the purpose of doing such mystical research, one was forced to find a “hobby” to help pass the time.

It was in this scene that one would find the Arsenal Magus; in a public square, sitting on a bench in front of a table, with a fully laid-out chess board in front of him. To anyone willing to listen, he called out.

“ Who dares challenge the source of self-knowledge in a battle of wits? Surely one must exist who dares to feel the humiliation of being bested. Come forth! “

A Curious Cabal

The price of immortality is a debt which is quickly paid off and capitalizes over time. Such a precious gift allows for the mind to expand, for the body to remain preserved in one’s prime and for the cold embrace of death to come only from the harshness of a battlefield.

But with such a gift also came a profound...superiority complex, one would say. Such that if someone were, say, blocking a hallway by moving at an incredibly slow speed, one would become quick to anger, moreso than most with one lifetime. “ It behooves me to let you know just how many precious seconds you force me to burn by waiting for you to pass. “

To demonstrate his frustration, the Invoker gave the stranger’s wheelchair a brief nudge with his foot, accompanied with an annoyed groan. “ Sometime this year. “
