Stories from Idumea: Children of Avveel

As a strong gust of wind flung dirt into her face, Allet covered her mouth and coughed. “Goodness, that wind,” She mumbled before wiping her face with a piece of cloth. She hoped they would make their way into the town soon. Allet’s arms and legs couldn’t handle much more of this. Maybe she should have just let Sylvaine help with her bags. That was a much better alternative to collapsing from exhaustion.

She glanced back to see how her companions were fairing, only to find an empty road behind her. Looking around the area, she finally caught sight of Alfaru creeping up on a little boy and Numair right behind him. Huh? “Sylvaine.. What are they doing?” She asked and raised both of her eyebrows. What was so interesting of a child? Squinting her eyes, Allet wasn’t sure what exactly he was doing. He seemed to be moving things. They were so close to a warm meal and rest, Allet couldn’t help but groan in annoyance.

Dropping most of her bags, she let her curiosity get the best of her and approached Numair. “What’s going on?” She whispered to him, trying her best to stay calm in his presence. The sudden clang of a bell echoing across the fields startled Allet. She let out a squeak and dropped her remaining medicine bag. Red blossomed across Allet’s cheeks and she looked down in embarrassment. Some kind of soldier she was.

BACKSTORY

"My mom was my best friend, I miss her more than anything"

Nina Norrell was the daughter of Cara Norrell, one of the most inspiring and caring mothers anyone could ask for. She had a childhood full of happiness and love. They would spend weekends going on adventures in their backyard, watching the stars, and baking cupcakes together. They lived in a small town in Michigan, and Cara was everyone’s favorite mom. She had this special spark that could liven up any gloomy environment. She was Nina’s mascot and biggest supporter. Whenever she needed someone to lean on, cry with, vent to, Nina always went straight to her mother.

While there several times Nina wanted to travel and see the world outside their small town, Cara always forbade it. She could never understand why her mother was so attached to the small town but eventually, Nina stopped asking to leave.There were many things Cara kept secretive about, such as Nina’s father. She had never seen a picture or even knew his name. Mentioning him and asking questions only upset her mother. Nina trusted her mother and knew when she was ready, she would tell her.

It was Cara who inspired Nina to start painting. She had always enjoyed art class and often doodled on her homework.Painting was a whole new experience. Creating magical moments in a single frame of time became her passion. Artwork upon artwork filled her walls and she was even featured several times in the school’s newspaper. One of Nina’s favorite things to draw was her mother. She often made her into a fairy, queen, or goddess ruling over her own world. Cara was beginning to cover her own wall with paintings Nina would give her for holidays.

A few weeks after Nina’s 18th birthday, one of her darkest nightmares came to life. She had spent the weekend camping with a few friends, roasting marshmallows and sharing memories of her senior year. When she came home, her mother was nowhere in the house. The house was still empty by nightfall and Nina panicked. Soon, the entire town began searching for her. There was no evidence of a struggle or signs that Cara had packed and left town. Days turned to weeks. Nina never gave up hope and continued to search every day. She refused to believe her mother was gone.

Life without her mother was beyond painful for Nina. She forgot how to live. All of her time and energy went into searching Michigan for her mother. She missed her own graduation. People around her began to move on. After finding a locket among her mother’s jewelry, Nina placed a painting she made of her mother within it and wore it wherever she went. Even if the whole world forgot, Nina would not. Cara was everything to Nina, and the thought of losing her was too much for an 18 year old to comprehend. She would never lose hope. It was a few moments after wearing her locket did Nina have the vision.

It was her mother. Nina didn’t know where she was, only that her own mother stood before her. Tears spilled the instant she saw her. Cara began to tell Nina everything she had kept secret over the years. Cara was an adept, and now Nina was one too. She explained about these gifts and warned her of the danger. Cara had ran away from her old life, away from a horror that had killed the man she loved. But her time was finally over. She urged Nina to continue living her life with love and compassion. With a final embrace, Cara disappeared.

Nina couldn’t let go of her mother’s memory at first and refused to believe she was truly gone. Even now, she struggles accepting this. It was just easier to pretend her mother was still out there somewhere. It took a lot of tears and time before Nina could look at the world the same. Slowly though, she began to embrace her cheerful and energetic old self. Part of her will always be different. But for her mom’s sake, she will try her best to remain this happy version of herself.

Learning how to practice her adept abilities was impossible without another extra-normal being.She had the gift of strengthening other Extra-normal being’s power. She needed help and began looking online. It was then when she discovered the coven, they were a group of people just like her. Keeping her mother’s warnings in mind, Nina decided to move to Florida to begin her life as an adept when she was 20 years old. She was financially well off, thanks to her mother’s savings, and old enough no one could stop her from leaving the small town. There was so much she didn’t know about this world but she began to embrace it.

SKILLS & TALENTS

"Well, I love painting whenever I have time. Maybe I can show you sometime! "

[Painting] ⫻ From a young age, Nina fell in love with painting. She loves messing with vibrant colors and experimenting with different media. Most of her paintings are of people in mystical settings using acrylic.

[Astronomy] ⫻ Nina and her mother loved stargazing and she took several classes in high school. She knows most of the constellations and how to identify various celestial objects. Whenever she can’t sleep, she’ll often find her way outside to stargaze.

ABSTRACTION

"I help others get stronger!"

TYPE ⫻ Adept (Lavender Lux)

ABSTRACTION ⫻ Nina’s ability allows her to give an extra boost to any Extra-Normal being’s powers.

ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻ Nina’s gift is pretty simple. If she makes physical contact with an Extra-Normal being, she is able to boost their abilities. She has a silver locket with a painting of her mother inside that she uses as her channeler. It glows lavender, the color of her lux, whenever she uses it. As a side effect of her abstraction, sometimes she shocks other Extra-Normal beings.

LIMITS ⫻ Whoever Nina empowers has a "charge" to it, which means over time their enhancement will weaken. It'll begin to drop off after a minute and after five minutes the ability will be completely gone. Nina can only charge two Extra-Normal beings at a time and she'll need to wait until their charge runs out before she charges a different person. She can charge as many people as her stamina allows (and the act is a great deal on her stamina, like working out intensely) and pushing herself beyond that isn't a great idea. She can only charge people who are within ten meters of herself.

WEAKNESSES ⫻ Due to the nature of the ability it has no weaknesses to speak of.

Stories from Idumea: Children of Avveel

Allett listened intently to Sylvaine as she described her weapons. A scimitar huh? It sounded more like a cooking spice. She chuckled softly but kept the thought to herself. Still, Sylvaine’s scimitar had bright outlines of stars that practically glowed against the metal. Glancing down at her plain dagger, Allet wondered if she might have displayed more interest in swordplay with a sword like Sylvaine’s. She hardly knew how to even wield the one she owned. Another skill she’d need to learn for this adventure. Part of Allet wanted to ask the elf more questions but she knew better. She muttered a thanks as Sylvaine returned the scimitar to her belt.

Keeping quiet for the remainder of the journey to Aveel, Allet kept her mind focused by thinking of various herbs and mixtures she brought with her. She often did this to help calm herself. A pleasant breeze brushed past her face and she breathed in the clean and familiar air. Even as an adult, she had a sense of excitement rush through her. Visiting Avveel had been her first adventure as a child. They weren’t planning on staying long but it only felt fitting she stopped here before aiding the King in Helsset.
