@drvcxrys​ || Rei for Usagi

.｡.:*☆ “How about a snowball fight? I would totally be in the mood for that now.” Rei particulary remembered one event in her life, shortly after meeting Usagi. They have been visiting the Moonlight Course skiing resort. A monster appeared, causing an avalanche, and Usagi and Rei were stranded in the chasm. Forced to work together in order to get out again.

Rei had no idea if Usagi would remember as well, however, it was bringing a smile onto her own face, at least.

“And the winner is going to buy us hot chocolate. With a lot of marshmallows, of course.”

{ esra bilgiç, 29, genderfluid, he/she/they } ** whispers dart through the streets of kærholt. was that AKSANA ÜÇ ZIRVE that was spotted? they’re a SEER in the city and are known for being STEADFAST and MAGNANIMOUS. they DO have magical abilities. the whispers say they are AGAINST the eldrkirk and are AGAINST the laws about magic. may the fire keep them warm. ** { kat }

the eternal flame moved me, so i had to.

askana was born into a community of seers deep in the mountains that surround kaerholt.

named for the famed three peaks that surround the glade in which their village sits, the people of their village practice seeing magic, enabling them to plan harvests and hunting to survive the harsh winters in the mountains. while not everyone has magic ability within their village, seeing in their culture extends to various practices that can be interpreted by non-magical practitioners, such as bones, runes, and scrying stones.

sana’s father was tasked with locating supplies in kaerholt that the village could not produce for themselves, and she began accompanying him to the city at a young age. the journey took weeks each way down treacherous mountain paths, but he was training sana to take over his role in the village.

sana had just entered her teens when an avalanche hit the three peaks. they were traveling to kaerhold with their father when it happened, and it was too dangerous to return home. later in the season, their father died on the road to kaerholt, killed by a bear that had stumbled upon their camp. she joined a group of travelers continuing down to the city, earning coin by peddling their abilities as a seer.

while not the strongest seer from their village, aksana caught the eye of the patriarch of the vanbeerg family, who took them in as a ward. they trained as they came of age, becoming one of the most trusted seers in the city.

sana generally keeps to themselves and is known for being very quiet and mysterious, only speaking when spoken to and only using their seeing abilities when asked or when paid. they’re extremely loyal to the vanbeerg family for taking them in after their father’s death and disapprove of the decision to send the younger vanbeerg to the church to appease the high priest, but they keep that opinion to themselves.

being in kaerholt and having the time to hone their craft has made sana extremely sharp. they have to concentrate when they are asked to see into the future, but they can, especially when touching the person who requests their services.

their village is often seen as more wild and barbaric in comparison to city life in kaerholt, similar to how vikings were seen by outside communities. she has not had to live off the land in decades, but keeps some of her old traditions.

sana does not know if the three peaks still house her village, or if the village is now gone, but her sight does not show her returning. not for a long time.
