Ei’lycia was excited to get moving for although Thyatira had been friendly for the most part, she’d been getting rather anxious with staying in one city for so long. As soon as the meeting had officially adjourned, she sped to a spacious barren land a great distance away. Standing still, she let loose a long breath as she tried with all her might to will her powers to the surface.

Nothing.

She couldn’t muster a single scrap of power, not a flicker of light, an eerie darkness, there was nothing.

A fierce scowl took over her face before she grabbed her sword and brought it forward, slashing toward a tree in the distance in rage at her inability to access her powers at will. Ready to unleash her anger toward everything within her vicinity as a means to practice her sword techniques, she had finally noticed the damage upon the tree she’d caused just prior. The gash she’d made was wrapped in a chunk of ice. Well, that’s new. It appears progression is slowly imminent. For the time being, I best keep this quiet.

With a feral smirk and empowered by this slight sign of skill deep within her, Ei’lycia decided it’d be best to put it aside for the moment as she got into a defensive stance, her body settling into sword fighting movements as she began her training drills. Her feet fleet as she went through every move she knew of and then some; her blade whipping around her, its metal surface barely visible other than quick flashes of silver every now and then. Her mind imagining those which she’d fought of years prior as she continued her deft movements as if she were defeating them all over again.

After an hour and a quick glance at the blackened night sky glittering with stars, she sheathed her sword and headed toward the ice covered tree for a short nap before it was time to depart. When several more hours past, she woke up to dawn breaking across the sky; its light filtering through the sky as he slowly began to illuminate the nearly barren land surrounding her.

Not wishing to be late, she took off for the transport at a speed double that which brought her to the terrain she’d just occupied. With quick and nimble feet as ever they were, she raced through the field and city fast approaching the vehicle that was to be used for the upcoming mission. When she was half a kilometre away, she leapt high into the air, her supple body curled up as she made a few somersaults before landing soundlessly on all fours.

Ei’lycia’s eyes glanced up, instantly noticing the old and middle aged men.She shifted about, scanning the interior of the conveyance, analyzing its every component before settling near the front by a host of wires and mechanics, eager eyes gleaming with joy as she inspected the machinery facing her.
