Shui
Walls and walls, each one covered in books were all around her. Shui had searched many times for what she needed in the Scryer mages library. She looked for many spell books to further enhance her powers as the Magi Lord. They all seemed to talk about one source of arcane magic. Book after book seemed to pile on the now rather small looking table. She had heard about the book, one that held the full story of the legendary magic but she hadn't yet found it. Still, it called to her as she felt the presence of its power here. She cleared her mind and dissolved herself in the power and followed its source. The book seemed to glow for her as her tiny hands slipped it off the shelf. Quickly she scurried over to the desk and laid the book down. The cover was designed with a beautiful intricate design of gems and pictures of demons. She slipped open the book and brushed her hand over the pages.
Her eyes frantically scanned the pages of the book. So, she would have to travel to the Eastern Kingdom. She spent the next few hours reading everything she could in the book before slowing nodding off.
Suddenly, she was in a cave surrounded by walls of black doom. What a strange place to be. She searched around the cave for clues that would help her understand where she was. A black shadow and icy chill wind blew past her; she was not alone. She readied herself, gripping her staff with both hands and slowly turned around to see her opponent. With a flash of shadow and bright magic she was blinded and suddenly startled by something shaking she awoke to a short rather plump man with a tabard bearing the crest of the royal house standing over her.
"Sorry to have startled you," he said as he looked down at her. She was much shorter than him, her being a gnome and he being a human of course. She had big, dancing gray round eyes and coral coloured hair that she pulled into two ponytails one on either side of her head. She was amazingly beautiful and her blue silk robes enhanced it.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I shouldn't have fallen asleep with so much to be done. What may I ask does the royal house want?" She said with lightness in her high lilting voice.
"I bring you grave news Magi Lord Shui. The Galgor is loose and out of control. The Ledan could not control it and we are now threatened. Queen Arianna is summoning the Legendary five, we need you." A rush of grief flushed his face as he said that.
She sighed. She would have to delay her quest for the time being. Being in the Eastern Kingdom though could prove a success in her research. All right she would do it.
