Forgotten One

Discovery Arc: Can You Hear Me?

Sarah slept until the evening ate dinner in her room alone and waited- Amy had told her about an event that was happening, it happened at the start of every night and she had left with a goodbye.

When night completely fell over the city that was hosting the Dark Sense Hearing this year, all the lights blinked off from the windows of the buildings and houses, shops that were still opened, dimmed their lights.

The street lamps lining the streets also went dim... it was fine if you were dark bearer or lycanthropes that could see in the dark, but for others, it was a little hard to see.

Sarah through the with all this light pollution gone she could have a clear view of the stars in the sky, none shone down. It was like there was a blanket of darkness across the heavens.

Even while this was happening, people wandered around in good cheer; there were moments to go before it was said King Éber had arrived from the castle that was on a hill above the city.

Sarah was interested, of course, she was, she wanted to learn about the Forgotten War... yet each time her grandmother got this sad expression on her face, so her sake she kept silent and tried to learn about it this time period elsewhere.

Most information was covered up by the Forgotten Centuries curse, blocking it from view.

With her cloak wrapped firmly around her, Sarah walks through the park humming loudly- dark bearers and their allies were everywhere. It was not like there was a war going on but people even nowadays was a little bit defensive.

Thankfully she saw some fire bearer walking in a group and that calmed her down. This section of the land was not at war, there were still wars going on in faraway lands but that hardly affected this part of the world.

The deeper she went in this nature park in the centre of the city, the fewer and fewer people that had gathered and wander, become.

Sarah opens her window and looks at the map she had placed there, staring it closely with a light at the end of her finger.

With a gentle mumbling she sent it out along with a wind casting and the map glowed, it would have lit up with red or yellow dots if any other person was in this area but there was none.

She was the only one around for miles.

Sarah smiles, there were shadows everywhere!

Amy was right to say that there would be more here.

The cloak seemed to sing to her and laugh, cry out, shout, the shadows within were amused about something.

Her smiles faded and she glances through the darkness; if there was no one around and her detection cast showed nothing, then what this feeling about?

The feeling of being watched.

... she remembers this, it had happened when she had cast the Mock Moon during one of her first war classes.

Sarah turns back to her map, there was still nothing and her detection cast was level 52, she had raised it well when searching for sprites- sprites could only be detected on level 50 so she had worked most of the summer for it...she could not say it was a waste of time but she only reached level 50 after she had found the sprites she wanted.
