Ittindi was no ninja, as he stalked through the woods, the sound of branches cracking under his feet and through his arms echoed through the forest. Ittindi felt bad breaking so many parts of nature’s beauty, the branches would regrow, and the things he stamped on would become recycled in life’s long process. The green forest seemed to weep as he finally came across an enclosing that had another in it. He witnessed the man create an ice spike of large proportions and hurl it straight at a target. The thud of impact quieted the rest of the forest for a brief moment. Ittindi would take that moment to appear, emerging from the surrounding forest to the east of Alexandre. He’d speak fast not wanting to scare the man, his ankh easily seen on his tongue as he spoke.
”Greetings good mage, I see I’m not the only one training out in this beautiful forest. Does nature inspire your magic as well? I’m Ittindi by the way, Ittindi Amali, I can leave if you prefer privacy. Otherwise I was going to ask if you’d want to collaborate on training.”
Ittindi found it easiest to get straight to the point when dealing with strangers. They seemed to appreciate it more, Ittindi didn’t have the tongue to try and deceive others outwardly, he prefers to keep his lies small or hidden. He did find it easier to train with others, then by himself it was irresponsible for him to assume a random mage in the forest would be a capable partner. That just meant he’d need to take it easy, not practice his more advanced spells until he got a feel for his partner. That was assuming the man would want to train at all with Ittindi, he still had his area not to far from here. Even if he couldn’t find it Ittindi could wander until he found another clearing to practice his own magic at.
Either way, Ittindi was already thinking about the first spell he needed to practice. He had watched another Rune Knight employ a similar spell albeit with darkness instead of nature magic. The idea was to wrap yourself in your magic to defend against others, it provided a full body shield, and served to protect valuable artifacts. You never knew when someone decided that it’d be easier to dispose of artifacts before the mage, Ittindi already had an idea for his version. The first would be multilayering the threads in different thickness and hardness. The inside of course would feel like a high thread count sheet, no need to discomfort himself. Imagining the layers in his mind was already giving Ittindi a headache, and he needed to be able to do this as a reaction. He could already see why it was considered a more advanced defensive spell.
