Soooo...

I found a lake on a trip out in the woods. There’s a beautiful shore, it’s quiet, and the trees mostly purrtect us from the sun. Nepeta has never been camping, and I think we should change that. :OO

Thoughts? :33

✏ - Telling stories with them

If someone met you now, they might never guess that you had once forgotten how to speak, and nearly how to write and read as well. Although you still find yourself slipping up on occasion, you like to think you’re at least decent now. It’s decent enough, at least, that you feel comfortable talking with other trolls - even aliens.

And such is the case now, when you sit with Asriel. You’ve made him tea, which you pour and offer to him, while you tell him what you can remember of your early nights with the trolls of the forest.

It’s hard to pinpoint where your training began and ended. You remember different trolls teaching you different things, guiding you through various concepts... At some point, you come down to attempting you explain your abilities.

After turning over a carving of a cat in your hand, you offer it to him. It has folded ears and calmly closed eyes, and is sitting upright.

“I started this when we discovered Nepeta’s ‘murder hands.’” The phrase is still so amusing to you, and you can’t hide your smile. Not that you would want to. “It’s imbued with a protection spell. It’s not terribly strong, and more of a catch-all ‘against evil and violent people’ than anything specific. I haven’t sold it yet, on a feeling that I ought to keep it for some reason. I’ve learned to trust those feelings, but I have no use for it. If you think you could use it, you’re welcome to it.”

☽ = wandering alone at night .

You’re walking in the woods.

There’s no one around, and your palmhusk is in perfect working condition.

Though your species is nocturnal, this area is typically rather quiet at any time of the night or day. You, personally, owe it to the large amounts of open space and the concentration of highbloods. (You dislike this, but have accepted it, since this is where Huntress lives, with Archmage.)

So, often, you come here to clear your head, stretch your legs. And you change between running, in short bursts, and walking leisurely, breathing in the fresh air and the scent of moss, bark, and... goat?

You pause.

... There’s a sound from the brush. A twig cracking. Or... multiple twigs. Whoever was trying to sneak up on you had clearly never been in the woods before.

Where your height owed you no advantage in intimidation, you had one trick you could use for shock value. ... Maybe, it was worth blowing your cover.

You light a brilliant pinkish-red fire in your hand, crackling white with energy, bare your teeth and growl “Show yourself.”

You don’t want to hurt anyone, especially not here. But old habits die hard, and until you find out who this is, it’s better to be over-prepared than dead.

Wild magic? I can’t say that I’m all too familiar with the term, but it sounds to me like magic that calls upon and manipulates natural energies, like using a moon phase or a certain crystal to aid in one’s magic. That would be more ceremonial magic though, not really battle magic, so I dunno.

I’d love to hear your explanation, there may very well be a word that I’m just forgetting or don’t know.

Hmm... I guess!

For the most part, I think it’s called that because it’s taught among wild (or “feral, uncivilized”) trolls. It’s based on tradition rather than book learning, and typically the style changes depending on who you learn from, and what you decide to pursue.

Feral trolls have a much stronger sense of community than “civilized” trolls, so I learned from several older trolls, when I was young. A connection to nature and natural energies does play a big part in it, though. Like Nepeta, I work with souls, the self and the heart... My standard magic can be used to tweak and meddle just enough to have things fall in place. It’s the basics of my luck charms and various other things.

As far as battle magic goes... It’s not pretty or flashy. A far cry from “ceremonial” for sure. On Alternia, if two trolls enter any sort of combat, only one makes it out alive. Already disadvantaged, feral trolls hone magic to disable and kill enemies as quickly as possible. How each troll does that is different.

Does that help any? :OO

Hey! So, uh, I was wondering what type of battle magic you're using? If you happen to know. If not, that's fine, I was just curious.

:’33 I’ve forgotten what it was called, long ago, but I doubt you would recognize it even if I knew. Here, the trolls call it “wild magic.” I can explain it - maybe your world has a different name for it?

Nothing, just... Someone important to me paid me a very valuable compliment. Multiple someones, actually.
