It did confuse her yes, But Averie should adjust well. But it was hard to think after seeking around the channel of how she could have connected to her guild she learned she was not a Rune Knight, it confused her. Did the law understand how odd it was to have a nercomancer in their ranks? Was this a good thing?

It did confuse her yes, But Averie should adjust well. But it was hard to think after seeking around the channel of how she could have connected to her guild she learned she was not a Rune Knight, it confused her.

Ittindi had been walking down the street, his reputation had grown. While he was still a relative nobody people in Era were starting to hear about him. The non-affiliated mage, he’d prefer to be a non-affiliated butler, but that’d have to wait for another day. He had been to the Rune Knight headquarters a couple times, but so far hadn’t had any luck joining. There was a stigma against his need for decorum, he knew it’d be hard for that reason he just imagined they would still let him in and haze him. He hadn’t expected the apathy, that was just another part of the organization he’d have to shape up. Especially after his last encounter with his Young Master, he was pretty sure that he hadn’t given up his ways.
That’s when Ittindi would see a Rune Knight directly in front of him, she had the Ankh on her left shoulder. Very pristine pale skin, with her hair tied quite fancifully. It made him chuckle after he heard so many speeches from random guards that he’d have to always wear a uniform. He wondered how high of a rank you had to be to ignore that one. Either way in his desperation Ittindi would shoot his shot.
“Excuse me Madam, I was interested in joining the Rune Knights. I was wondering if you could recruit me, I’d be forever in your debt.”
Wed Oct 04, 2023 1:34 pm
But she would start walking some way towards the buildings in which the rune knights normally went. "I think it's this way, I am just learning these things too, I am Averie by the way." The mission now started they both had to hope that they did not walk any where they where not suppose to go."I am sure we can learn where to go and go through things pretty easily."Averie did sound rather happy about these things mostly because she was just trying to help and it was something that seemed to make her feel prideful about at this moment, silly it was.
Wed Oct 04, 2023 2:14 pm
” It’s a pleasure to meet you Lady Averie, I’m Ittindi Amali. Have you not been to headquarters since the merge? I’ve come across another with a similar story, I’m sure we could find a stamp and I can do all the paperwork at a later date. I’m quite good at documentation, and other secretarial work.”
Ittindi had worked for a couple families that needed him to manage their paperwork regarding licensing, finances and even some accounting. The true test is finding people who knew the difference in accounting versus general financials. He wouldn’t say that out loud, though he was worried he wouldn’t be able to hold his typical stoic demeanor he was so excited. This was the closest he had gotten so far, besides the time someone wanted to introduce him to the General of the Rune Knights.
Ittindi was curious if they’d stop at the gates or if they’d let Averie stroll through, he always had a hard time at the gate. Even after all the requests he had done for Rune Knights in the past month. He imagined himself wearing one of their uniforms, the idea was still a little distasteful he’d find a way to make it up to his standard. Ittindi was also a little nervous to tell her where he would want the branding. He had done it on his tongue prior with his Young Master there was no reason he’d change it for the Rune Knights. His ideals were still the same every time he spoke he wished for people to know who he represented their was a pride in service.
Fri Oct 06, 2023 7:28 am
Over all she seemed already to be trying to do exactly that. Over all getting in the formation was quick."Okay I know where we are going, I would offer to have you join me on studying the manuals and rules even all of the laws since i am from iceberg."Averie admitted her problems because it seemed she mentioned it because she was working on it.
But she would start walking towards where she was told too. Averie felt everything was going on fine with out problems.
Fri Oct 06, 2023 10:09 am
”I’d love to review the rules and regulations of Era with you Lady Averie. Its always refreshing to hear someone of a higher rank keep up on their education. I’m afraid I’ve never been to Iceberg, but I’m sure it’s a beautiful place.”
Ittindi would make a mental note on how he needed to learn the surrounding countries and smaller provinces of Fiore. He was going to be a Rune Knight it wouldn’t do too disrespect someone who was proud of their corner of the world. He was sure Lady Averie wouldn’t take it that way, but for those who were more inclined to anger. His thoughts drifted to more than one noble he had served who had a quick temper. It was a common trait amongst the more privileged.
Sat Oct 07, 2023 2:22 pm
It had to be easier then learning Nercomancy right? In her mind it might have been thinking that was because she only really two things on a daily basis."Iceberg is easily summed up in two words, Cold and snow."Which was a fair thing to say about it as well. But would add a few more things to it."There is a lot of mountains as well, But that is the basics of where i am from for the most part."But it seemed over all that it might seemed like it might have been over all something one could experience by going there themselves. But Averie was also a one track mind being at times she easily distracts her self unintentionally.
But she took it as an interesting matter. "it will be a good break from my studies of my magic."She said like she was a bit excited about it. Not bringing up what her magic studies that might entail. But was walking off to collect the books then she stopped. "Suppose we should go get that guild mark.."it seemed that was almost like damper for the moment.
Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:08 pm
It seemed that Lady Averie was a magic user like Ittindi, from her clothes he wondered what kind of magic she cast. It didn’t seem too obvious to him, but then again most people wouldn’t guess he was a nature user until his green circle appeared. He had heard some magic users who were advanced enough to cast without circles. He’d need his magic to be on similar levels if he were to climb the ranks of the Rune Knights, the strength would go hand in hand with his service. What part of the world would he travel to first after joining? Ittindi was aware he was more experienced than the average private, but he’d have to rise the ranks the same he wondered if there’d be many assignments in central Fiore or on the outskirts.
” Yes, the mark then the library, tell me Lady Averie were you part of the Collective Minds or Rune Knights before the merge?”
Ittindi would listen to her hoping to help relax the mood before he told her where he’d want the stamp at. Usually, people thought it was an odd spot better to just tell her now in case she changed her mind. It wouldn’t do to wait and put someone in an awkward spot. He’d wait until she finished and then say.
” So I’m going to want the stamp on my tongue.”
Ittindi wouldn’t clarify anything more than that the stamps were usually only a day or two to heal, at least from Ittindi’s last experience.
Mon Oct 09, 2023 8:59 am
with the topic at hand she would simply continue on as she normally did with conversations."Mind you I was a part of the guild purely to see out knowledge of Necromancy and to see what information i can find on it, So...I am still on track with that."It would not be a normal moment for Averie if she did not talk about her studies at least just once. This part however is where most people might look at her a bit differently.
But they where talking about tattoo placement so maybe it was going to be looked over or left to be an awkward manner. He has an interesting choice of placement."It is a different place. almost feels a bit odd to consider of a spot. But I got my mark on my shoulder shoulder blade so it shall go there again."She did think how it could benefit some one to have it where he was going to, you could hide it quickly, while Averie was just think how i would be covered with her clothing as she wore normally. Over all it seemed to be a pleasant manner.
Mon Oct 09, 2023 10:32 am
Ittindi knew that tale, he had needed time away to reach his goals. He wondered if the person who recruited her was in the Rune Knights. Ittindi knew that all mergers had those who left, hopefully not for her. That way she could find her old friend, he thought it better to not pry either way. Ittindi would continue to listen to Lady Averie as they continued through the Rune Knight headquarters.
“Necromancy you say, I could see the efficiency in a cold place. Better corpses than their children and all that. I’m sure there’s research for that, do a lot of people in Iceberg practice that magic?”
Ittindi had seen such weird magic for his brief stunt in that guild, necromancy wasn’t out of the question. He knew for sure he’d never be ok with one of his family members turning into a zombie. He wondered if the lady had any enemies for that reason. That’s ok he had defended worse than that, better not to think about that while joining. Plus she seemed so wholesome, interested in education like his Young Master with the sword…no hammer. Ittindi’s would let out a small sigh, thinking about how much more training he needed.
“I’m hoping to strengthen my magic through research as well, I manifest silk threads as my magic. Not as fancy as most, but I find it useful.”
Ittindi, had been meaning to get to some training soon, he had felt the progress of his work. He still hadn’t decided if Era’s outskirts would be good enough. There was a forest, he always found it easy to train in nature. The only downside was how dirty he ended up getting out there.
Wed Oct 11, 2023 5:48 am
Averie did not ever considering that the matter of being in iceberg was useful for keeping at least the bodies around for longer."Well I don't try to use corpses, some what being a bit more respectable to summon the various spirits around me as well."After all she moves through the study of corpse summoning quickly because she knew it was questionable ground."There is a lot more options with in summoning spirits and ghosts, Just to make sure i don't upset anyone."
His was a bit more interesting, provides a fair amount more options then what she had, easier to use then her's"It does seem interesting, might take a bit more skill then what i use."
Wed Oct 11, 2023 8:04 am
In reference to his magic, she said that it sounded more skillful than hers. Ittindi had a hard time imagining that magic user’s that controlled others were always several degrees more complicated than forming shapes. While Ittindi’s shapes could always become more granular in design, he didn’t have a fully autonomous being under his control. Not to mention there were plenty of stories of mages constructs or summons turning against them.
The thought of trusting anyone in that capacity was a hard thought for Ittindi. Even with his Young Master there were certain things he expected, even if their relationship had changed in the past couple years. He’d be pensive for a couple minutes while he was thinking, then he’d be back to his usual comments.
”Well your magic sounds exciting, do the spirits retain any of their memories of their past life?”
Ittindi couldn’t think of any other small talk so he just blurted out whatever came to his mind first. He hoped it wasn’t an inappropriate question, he still had no idea where they were going. Lady Averie seemed to be confident, though she would ask others for directions every once in a while.
Fri Oct 13, 2023 6:41 am
So she would explain a bit more detail, just to see what would over all be thought of it. She did take many notes of it."With in my many years of study so far I have came to the idea: If the spirit is willing to return as I do not force them, They in the memory state of when they where last alive."Averie said explaining it that way in which she had taken note of."I could force people to return but i still kind of find it wrong so i am often limited to who is willing to return."It seemed Averie did had a lot to go off of but also a lot more she could have done if she did not feel like there was limits
Even with mentioning one thing she has seen before."If a persons brain is intact before death they will be easy to talk too, If it was damaged before death then it's state of mind is also damaged and maybe hard to work with...so to say."Averie felt like she explained it right but she was not actually sure if she explained it right or easily understood.
Fri Oct 13, 2023 8:31 am
What Ittindi found interesting was that when summoning a spirit, the method of injury in their death matters. He wondered if this was proof of a soul concept or is it just a perception on the part of the mage or part of the spirit that make brain injury have affect on the afterlife. That kind of question was beyond what he typically thought about, who cared about souls when a cabinet needed to be dusted.
”That sounds interesting, its very different from what I imagine at first thought of necromancy. They should have a different word for what you’re doing! Either way it sounds like it’d be very helpful in investigating crimes, or even history.”
The thought of using spirits in discerning truth had possibilities Ittindi couldn’t think of. He just knew off the top of his head the different things that could be solved. It didn’t surprise him that Lady Averie was so interested in studying, being able to master magic that powerful must be a great driver. Ittindi wondered if the Rune Knights supplied her dead soldiers, they surely would want to be brought back to life. He thought it better to ask then, still wanting to be stamped and inducted today.
Sun Oct 15, 2023 5:21 am
Plus well they where wasting time slightly and she knew it. Because Averie was over all good at wasting time and it was entirely her fault."Well I can still summon the undead most assume. I just prefer to work differently. I often travel to different nations to see different nations versions of undead and spirits, how they work what keeps them lingering in the world weather good or bad."Averie explained it as if it made sense over all but she still felt it was a bit odd overall.
Sun Oct 15, 2023 6:03 am
“You have no idea how much this means to me Lady Averie. Thank you so much for your patronage.”
Ittindi would kneel on his knee and open his mouth wide open sticking his tongue out. Luckily with his rampant need for cleanliness his breath would be odorless, it also helped that he hadn’t eaten anything like garlic or onions today. After receiving his stamp from the official there’d be some meek clapping from the witnesses in the viewing gallery before they all quickly packed up and left. It was then that Lady Averie continued their conversation. It seemed that part of her travels was connected to studying other societies’ use of necromancy. Ittindi wondered how many things he’d learn as a Rune Knight once he was assigned to another city. Or would he be forever stationed in Era? Either could happen, his location would largely be based on the needs of the Magic Council.
“Wow, that sounds a little terrifying. If you’re ever in need of an assistant for a particularly dangerous spirit or corpse never hesitate to call Lady Averie. Better to play it safe is what I always say.”
Ittindi did believe in preparation, though he often found himself in situations that mattered little. He couldn’t imagine traveling around the continent to see the undead, but then again he traveled around prior seeking the best cleaning methods. The only difference between them was that Ittindi found a different avenue for service. One thing was for sure if her train of thought became more popular he’d find even more work. He imagined even with magic that spirits and corpses could create quite a mess over time.
Tue Oct 17, 2023 12:17 pm
Averie left it at that because of how she thought of these things. But it was scary for other matter and not just from the things she had seen."Well i see a lot of the world and learn many things...i could have done with that nun from Minstrel trying to kill me, But my sister did fight her off."Averie mentioned mind you she had not seen that nun since.
But at least they both got the guild marks.
Tue Oct 17, 2023 3:56 pm
Ittindi would listen to Lady Averie as she talked about her sister saving her in minstrel. Another land that Ittindi hadn’t visited, he had heard of Minstrel at least. He didn’t have to wonder why a Nun would be trying to kill a necromancer.
”Well, I’m glad your sister was there for you Lady Averie. I’m a only child myself, but between the clients, and the Master butler I apprenticed for I’ve built a family of my own.”
That was only partially true, but Ittindi had a habit of doing half truths to continue small talk. In earnest, he only considered himself and the Young Master a part of his family. There was room for others, but no one had earned that spot in Ittindi’s heart yet, he wondered if there would be Rune Knights who would occupy space?
”Should we make our way to the library Lady?”
Ittindi hoped she hadn’t planned on going to the libraries that floated in the sky. He could tell she had quite the pull, but surely she wasn’t high enough of a rank to grant him access to such a place. He wasn’t even sure he wanted to go to it, who knew what kind of experiments took place in a floating laboratory/library. Even though Ittindi planned on using one of their more well-known fruits of labor, the dominator gun. He had the money saved for it; he just needed the rank to be legally able to carry one around with him.
Thu Oct 19, 2023 3:31 pm
But they were talking about books she seemed to be delighted."Yes we shall, After all there is a fair amount of laws to look into while we are here." And to think just in case Averie seemed to try and recall where the section they would be going too. Maybe Averie would need to summoner help. So she just kind of summoned a tiny ball of a ghost akin to something how a child talks of a ghost being real. It seemed then nudge a way to go thus Averie followed.
Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:06 am
”So any particular area of the law you are interested in?”
Ittindi personally didn’t care much for laws, however he had great respect for the results they created. One couldn’t have a clean society without an organized society, at least from what he had observed about the world. It was possible there were countries that had disjointed structures that maintained his level of cleanliness. When it came to executing the law, Ittindi would be strict if around others, but by himself if the criminal wasn’t causing major harm he might be more lenient.
That’s when Lady Averie would summon a spirit, this one was small, a tiny ball of smoke. Or was that what a soul looked like? Ittindi had never been to curious about that aspect of his mortality. The thought of growing old still crept him out, he wasn’t ready to sign his soul away similar to his Young Master. He did consider if he died and Lady Averie brought him back would he still be him. Then again his beauty might still decay but more literally in that form.
Sat Oct 21, 2023 4:17 pm
Then she would move on to mentioning."But I might look into forensics?I think it's that, Maybe focus on crimes related to the dead."The nercomancer looking into handling crimes that have to do with the dead seem like a pretty good idea in her mind so that was why she was going to go down that path."I would need to be sure with my magic, I am not doing anything Fiorian's fine either too taboo or illegal."She did feel like she had the right idea with this.
Then only because she was thinking of it now."What area will you be looking into? something I assume far different from mine."She did not assume most people would want to deal with dead bodies and murders.
Sun Oct 22, 2023 6:04 pm
”Mine is mostly about conspiracy, what does or doesn’t count as a link between organizations, what constitutes a reliable witness so on and so forth. I do feel that even if there’s something illegal about what you’re doing the council will make an exception since its ok in Iceberg.”
Ittindi never put to words what exactly he was looking to do to said organization, he wasn’t entirely sure himself. He just needed to know what was possible before he thought what should be done. Something that most philosophers would scorn at, but Ittindi would rather be sure than right. He was still working mostly off suspicion instead of any tangible evidence, but his gut didn’t fail him often. Ittindi wondered how the little ghost leading them knew the way. Maybe it was a former companion of Lady Averie’s would that be what Ittindi looked like if he offered his soul to science?
Tue Oct 24, 2023 5:13 pm
After all it was about helping not only one another but the people here. Then well she would have to bring up."Well....It was not exactly welcome to become a nercomancer in iceberg either. It in some manner made me a black sheep."Averie mentioned while they where being guided by the ghost.
Even if it was what she mentioned it seemed that over all she used this magic different ways and she knew and wanted to keep it that way. But when they arrived to the right spot. She patted the ghost that guided them there were it's head would be, then it poofed.
Tue Oct 24, 2023 7:58 pm
At Lady Averie’s other words Ittindi realized his impropriety, he didn’t mean to make her life sound easy in Iceberg. He imagined that no where was easy for someone with her…gift, but everyone deserved human decency. Good service too, and that is why he approved of how she thanked the ghost for help when they finally arrived at the library. Ittindi was surprised to see how large it was, especially after hearing about the secret libraries in the floating guild hall. Whatever was there had to of had copies in here or vice versa, either way Ittindi would look at one of the books in the middle of aisles to find some sort of order. They’d need to find the legal section; he imagined that the books here would be organized with law enforcement in mind. It turned out to be a very false assumption as Ittindi spent 3 minutes reading the contents of the reference to find the section they were looking for.
”Ok Lady Averie, I do believe the legal section is right this way.”
Ittindi would take them to a large section that started with customs for different regions of Fiore then expounded vertically from there. Ittindi was surprised to learn that there were so many different books on bureaucratic structures that he had never heard of. He’d find the reference code book for laws on conspiracy and treason, finding a table that would have room for both. Ittindi would signal Lady Averie over whenever she found the books she was interested in.
Thu Oct 26, 2023 2:17 pm
She over all seemed to always be thankful for the ones who help her even if it was just making sure she did not get lost in a place she should really be learning herself. But was time to collect book and learn and she was excited to think of it. But Averie loved books and was always in some manner face first into her books when she was not busy with something.
