"It honestly depends on the masters of the house and the local history. There could have been a library at some point that was destroyed for one of numerous reasons or the original owner had no desire for one. I certainly hope there is one though... Books are incredibly good at keeping secrets." She smiled as she opened her eyes, turning down another hallway. "Just keep your nose to the air and let me know if you smell anything different."

I edited my post to include a fireball, so just let me know if it wasn't directed at me. XD

Just double checking... Is one of those fireballs headed in the direction of Nova and Olivier?

Just as the tips of Nova's fingers brushed the surface of the water, a voice from behind her caught her attention. She turned her head to face the stranger, smiling warmly before returning her attention to the snake in the water. "There's always an exception, this one might just be lonely." Acting a little more cautiously before, Nova hesitated with her decision to touch the snake, leaving enough time for the boy to toss a rock at the creature. It was tough to tell what surprised her more, the fact that the snake wasn't real, or that its non-existence was proven by another advanced Wielder. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she peered into the clear liquid, a small laugh escaping her chest. "That certainly explains a few things." She commented to herself, crossing her legs in front of her and resting her hands on her knees.

"A pleasure to meet you Olivier, I'm Nova. Nova Blake." She smiled and extended a hand in greeting, simultaneously scanning the area about them. "The climate is much different than Galio, isn't it?" She asked with a sigh, already starting to miss her home. There were times when Nova would be mistaken for a psychic because of the things she could tell about people, but it wasn't like there was a big trick to any of it. She could tell the man sitting across from her was from Galio because it was where she grew up, and the man emanated the feeling of the home she missed.

Mind beginning to wander again, Nova shook her head and reached back into the pool of water, splashing some of the water on her face to cool down. "This place must be huge if they're giving us 48 hours to escape it... I wonder how many people are going to waste the first night sleeping." Nova was beginning to formulate a plan of action as she sat downstream from the waterfall, thinking back to all she had learned about jungles in the past. Temperatures between night and day weren't significantly different, at least not usually. But the absence of the sun was bound to be a big help and so she decided to pace herself through the first 24 hours without sleep then nap just before the end.

Nova had opened her mouth as if she were going to speak again but quickly snapped her head up and to the side, watching in slight horror as a blue fireball raced in their direction. Without thinking, Nova leapt forward and grabbed Olivier by the arm, yanking him sideways into the water to avoid being struck by the blue flames. "Why the hell are they chucking those at us, we weren't doing anything." The look in her eyes was sad, but quickly shifting into anger. Disconnecting the stone from her choke collar and unclipping her gauntlet from their position on her scythe, Nova expertly fit the stone into place and slipped her right hand into the glove. "I hate these gauntlets so much." She growled under her breath, pushing herself back up to a standing position.

If there aren't any objections I'd like to keep my weapon. Nova hasn't really developed any of her abilities that are useful in combat so the weapon is her only source of protection.

If it's a big deal I can edit it out, it's no problem but I'd prefer to keep it of I can.

"Just because someone else is going to clean it up doesn't mean you should go around messing with things anyway. Besides, these rooms don't get much TLC, there's dust everywhere." Jade frowned but nodded at Jack's suggestion to find the library. "A library or a personal study. If we can find the room the previous master of the house lived in we might be able to find some juicy secrets about the house or staff. A list of workers, expense reports... Something that might give us a peek into the workings of the house." Pausing for a moment in the hallway, Jade closed her eyes and cleared her mind in an attempt to feel out the knowledge (as if it were actually tangible like a scent). Turning, eyes still shut, Jade began walking in the direction she thought sounded the most useful.

Nova stood near the front of the crowd, her eyes fixed on the old man that was to be her headmaster. Despite his age, Nova could feel how powerful he was, or at least was at one point. It was almost as if she was transfixed on the being, long before he began speaking. She chuckled to herself as he addressed the 'questions' many of the students were supposed to have, Nova never once having any concerns or thoughts to as why they weren't at the academy. During the battle between teachers, Nova allowed her gaze to wander about the other student, who seemed to be paying close attention to the duel.

The fact that the murder of fellow students was allowed just to earn a place at the academy was disturbing, especially with the number of students who probably new nothing of real combat. Her eyes slid over the many emblems the others wore, some of family history while others were just emblems of their wielding ability. Nova's hand drifted up to her neck where she had attached her unique emblem to a choke collar, the emblem that signaled she was quite different from the rest. She looked around her, but as far as she could see, she was alone in her element... A fact that was both exciting and depressing to the girl. If the battle scythe clipped to her back didn't make her stand out, the particular emblem certainly would.

Lost deep in her thoughts, Nova didn't notice the initiation had begun until most of the students had already taken off. Leaving her and the remaining stragglers, Nova sighed and began walking into the jungle. Unlike other applicants, Nova was not looking around for dangers, but rather taking in the sights of the land, awed by its beauty. She wasn't used to this level of humidity, being from a port town that was always cooled by a sea breeze, but it an interesting new experience for her. Suddenly Nova noticed a beautiful butterfly circling her head, a small creature that looked as if it didn't quite belong with its surroundings. Semi-translucent, the thing seemed to glow as it broke its circle, flying off in another direction now that it had been discovered. Nova smiled and followed after the strange insect, maintaining a slow pace so as not to wear herself out in the process. "Hey, wait. Come back." She laughed, weaving in and out of the overgrown paths of the forest.

Stumbling forward, Nova landed on her hands and knees before a source of refreshingly cool water. Eyes bright at the discovery, Nova dipped her hand into the pool, pausing to let the breeze from the waterfall cool her sweat beaded skin. Moving to dip her hand into the water again, Nova froze, locking eyes with a snake that she had not noticed immediately. Her eyebrows furrowed together in confusion while looking at the creature, having seen something like it before. The edges of its body seemed to glow slightly, like the butterfly she had been following had, seeming off from its surroundings. Suddenly remembered of the butterfly, Nova whipped her head around trying to glimpse it again. Sitting back down, disappointment etched into her face, Nova returned her attention to the snake. "Hello you. You haven't seen a butterfly around here have you?" She asked it with a kind smile, reaching out to see if she could touch the creature.

Rise of the Hunters

NOVA

Name: Nova Blake
Age: 20
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: Brimming with attitude, Nova will almost always have a witty remark. She takes great pride in herself and her abilities as a hunter and is quick to attack anyone who tries to discredit her. Nova is a confident person, unafraid to speak her mind, however she can be surprisingly humble and quiet. Above all else, though, Nova is a loyal companion. When deciding to travel with anyone she considers her comrades' lives as precious as her own, and will risk severe injury in order to help them.

Deity: Tuman
Loyalty: Avid worshiper. True love and respect for her chosen Deity.

Weapon: Twin Katanas (Shown in above picture. ^^)
Inventory: A map, a coin and a bag of varying sweets.

Special Ability: Elemental Assistance: Nova can influence the element Air to assist her in battle, however her range of use is quite limited. When focused around her feet, Nova can glide across the ground as easily as if it were made of ice (an elemental form of roller-skates if you'd like). By focusing the element around her waist, Nova becomes 'lighter' allowing her to leap higher into the air, or launch herself forward at a greater speed than her unaided body could manage alone. Beyond her body, Nova's influence is fairly weak with a maximum distance of 11 feet.

Nova's ability is mostly fueled by her faith, in both Tuman as well as herself. Wavering faith in either will result in a weaker reaction from the element or complete failure to influence it altogether.

Speciality: "Banshees" (Or any monster with high agility/flexibility)

History: Growing up, Nova's family didn't have much money but they got along comfortably enough. Her father earned money by braving the plagued lands as a travelling merchant, travelling to sell various goods he had traded for or clothing his wife had made during his previous trips. While tough work, he made enough money to support his wife and two children, Nova and her older brother Leo. They four of them lived comfortably and happy until one trip, her beloved father never returned home. The family received word about a week and half later that the region he had been staying had been attacked with no survivors found in the small town.

Without the merchant's income to support them, the three did their best to make good of their terrible situation. For two years they managed to get by, but their happiness was short lived. The creatures came in the middle of the night, wailing like the wind in a storm. They were given no other warning before the attack, her mother falling as their first victim. Leo (17 by this time) took his 10 year-old sister and ran as fast as they could travel, heading for shelter in the nearby forest. Nova hid under the roots of a large tree alone, forced to watch her brother use himself as a decoy to lure the monsters away from herself. Silently she prayed to the Deity she had only heard about, in hopes that it would bring her brother back to her. The hours seemed to stretch on forever but eventually morning came and with it, the only remaining family member she had left.

Everyday from that day on Nova prayed and thanked Tuman for her brother's survival and for the strength to stand up to the monsters like Leo had. While her brother found work in blacksmith's shop, Nova trained every day to become the warrior that she is today. Now at the age of 20, Nova has decided to protect her brother one last time, using the gifts Tuman gave her to answer Ethan's call.

Forgotten: Has a large soft spot for animals, especially birds.
