The Ice Bolt connects! The hooves beneath Silverwind are frozen. He can’t dodge effectively!
Dealt 1 Damage to Silverwind.
“Oh! Thinking smart, are we? Ice is often considered an intellectual spell. Very constructive!”
Clover wonders for a moment, focusing her mind into her Focus again. Her mother comes to her mind, and immediately sorrow fills her heart. She pours the thought into her focus, and a black and white arrow forms. Silverwind’s expression turns to a frown, and he interrupts Clover’s attack with a counter!
Clover is captured in a barrier of protective magic! She drops her bow out of reflex.
“Woah there little one… don’t use that type of magic, ever. That’s called soul magic. That’s very powerful stuff you’re dealing with. Pouring emotion into your catalyst is one thing, because that feeling will come back with time. But memories do NOT come back. Whatever you were thinking, do NOT let that loose. That drives wizards and mages mad alike. Okay? Things like that cost nothing to fire, but reduces your magic permanently.”
The magic fades and Clover nods, accepting that bit of advice. She asks if they tried to recruit him, and how he got the ship.
“Ah! Y’see, they tried to recruit me once. Once. But a few illusion spells and my brilliant acting ability led them to believe I’m much older than I look. They thought I was damn near sixty. I’m hardly a day over 30! That’s where the beard came in. The ship… well, that’s a secret.” He winks, smiling.
“We’ll train more today. You need to rest up after a bout like this, I bet!”
The combat ends. Clover is victorious! What will she do next?
