Chapter Eleven

It was late that evening. There’d be no funeral, wake, or even a moment of silence and respectful contemplation for Riothaen’s fall. The other races all had some form of funeral rites and approaches to dealing with loss of life, but the dragons didn’t, and the society she was now a part of seemed to respect the customs of the other societies and their members.

To the dragons, Riothaen had failed to keep his territory, so was unworthy of their respect. It was a cold outlook she found distasteful, and she was glad they ruled from a remove and didn’t push their values onto those they ruled.

Regardless, it was later that evening. Her nightly practice was gaining her the expected ground, each time she was a little faster, and it took a little less conscious focus. It was modifying the tap block spell that was frustrating her efforts so far. She’d tried four more permutations, each weave slightly different, and so far she hadn’t hit upon the right combination for success.

She turned her focus to her version of the Great Weave. There was just no way for it to help enhance her offense, or enable her to cast spells faster, but it could be beneficial in other ways. She’d had the idea earlier in the day when she couldn’t feel the dragon’s magic. Her ability to sense magic so vividly was tied to her spirit magic, and the Great Weave was made of spirit magic. Her thought was that there might be a way to leverage that, and to extend her detection range to a quarter mile radius instead of just five hundred feet, the size of the personal Great Weave. It would just short of triple her range, so not a huge thing, but worthwhile if she could figure it out.

The roadblock there was that her detection abilities was a raw ability, not a spell at all. So she wasn’t quite sure how to tie the weave into her magical senses, or what a spell to do so would even look like. She was already connected to the weave, so it wouldn’t be as simple as that.

She’d have to give it more thought, as well as study the Great Weave back home. Maybe the goddess had already figured it out, and she didn’t have to recreate the wheel. It could’ve been one of those not yet understood spells that were tacked on, and although none of those stood out to her immediately, she had no idea what a spell like that would look like, even vaguely.

A knock on the door had Olwyn getting up, and she took a deep breath and turned her mind from the Great Weave as he answered it.

Anna’s smile looked a little brittle as she said, “Good evening.”

She dismissed her magical focus entirely, and said, “Come on in, do you want something to drink?”

Anna shook her head, “I can’t stay long, need to get home to the kids. Just… following orders.”

“That doesn’t sound good?”

Anna sighed, “It’s not terrible either.
