Finder Cloudburst Chapter 8, Part 1
Wren Icemud and I left
Fleagrass, walking eastward,
crossing Fierce River
with bridge nearby.
We sought signs of our prey,
a terrifying Lich,
a foe we can’t kill,
vile murderer.
Bearbat Village, northeast
from Fleagrass and not far
from Icebrunt’s border
with cold Endlin.
We journeyed with daylight,
since night air was too cold
to face without fire’s
wild, wondrous warmth.
At night, by fireside, Wren taught
me drawing magic that
I can use to fight
against the Lich.
She gifted me a wand
and a dagger, magic
weapons used in our
operations.
I must simply copy
the patterns that she draws
in the air with each
magic weapon.
I draw a glyph in the
air before me with
the magic dagger.
The glyph is made.
Then I draw a sigil
in the air before me
with magic wand. The
sigil is made.
I do not understand
what it is that I do.
Wren assures me that
the magic works.
I do as I am told
and suddenly chains burst
from the ground and wrap
a nearby tree.
