The Flower from Tiamat's Fire Appreciation Week Day 7 - World/Crossover

@ftf-appreciationweek

Warning: long post, read the rest under read more

Nikkal and Rix grew as close as siblings since May. After all, they went through the fight for their third seasons together. Darea herself was enchanted by the mages and quickly forgot about the grudge she held against Nikkal for "attempting to replace her". Meanwhile Ethan was starstruck by the technology this world holds. Su became friends with Stortia and Paulina rather quickly, and Niall befriended Graut. Iyar got splendidly along with Hotch and Gars.

Artemis and Nikkal left the others behind that day and went hunting. While Nikkal wasn't as good as her brother with the bow, she was still decent.

Meanwhile, Su and Aphrodite were fast friends, and Kingu exchanged eyeliner tips with Murphy.

Nikkal and Ellaire were opposites, which probably was why they went along so greatly. Though, Ellaire did NOT appreciate Nikkal's suggestion to go the palace and show king Osmont how fire mages deal with pricks (Gisella cheered her on tho).

Taki was beyond happy with this visit. He had been right, magic exists! But some of his comments and questions did irritate the mages. During one particular incident, where Taki almost went flying, Wyatt asked Ellaire: "Why is he treating the magician poorly?"

But excluding the Taki moments, Nikkal's companions went along well with Ellaire's.

Another day, and Nikkal once again wanted to burn someone's (Yavuz Pasha's and Mehmed's) asses. Lale, Su and Niall held her back though, even when they were staring daggers at the aforementioned men themselves.

Su, alongside Nikkal, got along greatly with Lale and promised her to introduce her to Ellaire too. Niall went along quite well with Aslan and Vlad (they dragged him alongside Iyar to throw knives too), Alexandra also tagged along, curious about their magic, which Niall was more than happy to share with her and in turn listen to her experiences.

Oh the joys of being the main character with fire powers. While their personalities couldn't be more different, Nikkal was excited to meet Mei and vice versa.

Nikkal also quickly became friends with Shino-Odori, since they both had the same priorities: food. While the two were pillaging the kitchen, Su and Mei got to know each other and went along very well.

Iyar and Satoshi combined were a menace. Meanwhile Niall sat down for tea with Kazu and Takao. With Takao they exchanged their magic knowledge.

To say Nikkal combined with Vicky Walker was a danger to everyone around was an understatement. Nonetheless, the two of them didn't do anything. Vicky taught Nikkal how to use filters on her photos instead. Meanwhile Nikkal found it very inspirational how she helped overthrowing god and imagined doing the same to the 5.

The greatest issue was moving around, since, besides Niall and Kingu, none of the visitors could fly. The Angels and Demons were very shocked seeing the wingless man flying. Kingu disappeared without any words and was later found chatting with Fidero.

Last, but not least, was visiting her older "sister"

While Nikkal and Agatha were gossiping alongside Su and Rachel and Eva, Niall and Kingu were annoyed by Alexander, and whole-heartedly related with Sam. Meanwhile Iyar went along well with Alexander. Nikkal later won a round of blackjack.

They all met up in the Academy during holiday. Much chaos (and not the magic kind) ensued.

Day 15. Loving-Kindness in Beauty // חסד שבגבורה

Rosh Chodesh Iyar

Some interesting information (from Chabad.org) about the month of Iyar:

Each day of Iyar represents another step in this spiritual journey toward Sinai.

There are not many “special days” in Iyar, but every single day of the month is part of the Sefirat HaOmer. It is a mitzvah to count every day between Pesach and Shavuot.

G-d promised that if Israel followed his ways, he would provide protection, “for I am G‑d your Healer (אני י‑י רפאך).” The acronym for this last phrase spells out the name of the month of Iyar (אייר), thus indicating that Iyar is a propitious time for healing.

In the spirit of Iyar let us all say tehillim and ask G-d to bring us healing from the coronavirus pandemic we are all experiencing. Let us utilize this month of Iyar as a way to grow spiritually, in the spirit of how our ancestors journeyed toward Sinai.
