Io was about to berate Wash for messing up his attack, but his words fell short as the shadow began to tip the massive bookshelf over on them. He leapt to his feet and tried to dive out of the way. As he rolled safely away from the hazard, he felt his hatred boiling up again, and he felt...

Io peered ahead down the line of bookshelves, his aasimar vision enhanced by his patron's noon, and he made out the shapes of two larger humanoids down the aisle. One of them looked feline in appearance, perhaps she was the witch? She must be the one behind the shadows attacking them. He moved...

Upon vanquishing the shadow, Io grinned. He did it! They said he was weak. Adults would run from these things, but he could destroy them. They were the weak ones. His patron whispered to him once more, urging him to continue. "Of course," Io whispered back so his friends couldn't hear, "I won't...

As his comrades assaulted the creature with magic and physical blows, Io's confidence surged. He didn't know how he was going to explain his black eyes or his dark powers, but right now he was useful, powerful, needed. It felt good. Io clenched his fist again as the shadow recoiled from his...

Io gritted his teeth. This was the first time he had felt this kind of power flowing through him, and he had to trust that he would know how to use it. The shadow leapt into his own and merged, circling around the group like a predator waiting to strike. He waited until it was about to circle...

The aasimar boy shuddered as the Lord of Secrets materialized before him, once more appearing as a dapper noble. But his face...was a blurred, twisting vortex of darkness with two red eyes gleaming through the shade. "T-tabaxi witch? Okay, sir - I mean, m'lord - I'll find this vault. I need...

As the two children walk into the library, Io marveled at the vast open space. Seas of shelves sprawled out before him as the mountain of a librarian approached. Kali approached him and asked him a question, but Io was far too enthralled by the long halls of knowledge to talk to the librarian...

@still watching fma @Ilikepie Io's face lit up when Kali comforted him and mentioned magic. That was true, he had powers that lots of people could only dream of. When Kali lifted the pebble and moved it to him, he laughed and cast Mage Hand as well and moved the pebble up in the air, then used...

Io nodded "Yeah let's get going. Guards will be here any second." As the two walked, they discussed Kali's questions. "Seems like a blessing to me. You got a much better flute than you could have asked for, and you got it for free. I mean, I guess someone died but that seemed like his own...

Io's blood turned cold as the shopkeeper's eyes pierced into his soul, calling him out about the dark entity clutching his soul. When the man began heaving fire and blood from his mouth, the boy all but froze. This couldn't be real, right? This had to be some kind of awful vision. In the...

As Kali played her song, Io tried to pay attention and be supportive, but ever since he set foot within the walls, his tattoo itched like hell. His patron, or perhaps something else, was trying to veer him off course down a different path. He could sense where it diverged - back near a crumbling...

Io scoffed as everyone immediately split up. Typical. "I think your music is really cool. Kiki just doesn't understand," he mumbled, following a frustrated Kali into town. He kept his hood up whenever he was here. His blue hair and pure golden eyes never failed to draw unnecessary attention...

@Ilikepie Finally thankful for an extended period of silence, Io retrieved his pen and parchment from his pack and spent the ride drawing pictures of the withering wildlife and taking notes. He didn't get the opportunity often to get real academic work done. Cain always had the kids out and...

The young aasimar winced as Loman addressed him directly. Every time they went to visit him, it was an exercise in patience and avoiding drawing attention to himself for as long as possible. Loman always had a chip on his shoulder about Io for some reason. He suspected it had something to do...

Io pondered Kali's words as she responded. Druidic magic... He wondered if that's what the Lord of Secrets was after? What secrets could a woman of nature possibly be hiding? As Kali stood up, he hastily gobbled down the rest of his food and rose from the table. "I'll come with you. Wash seems...

"Of course I'm worried, we don't know what's in those woods. We don't even know for sure who this 'mysterious forest guardian' is," Io said, waving his hands and rolling his eyes for emphasis. "I think following in our parents' footsteps might be a bad idea, since all of their footsteps lead...

@Zotar Io was so busy contemplating and worrying about the Lord of Secrets, that he hadn't even noticed Washed In on the Tide creeping up slowly from the other side of the table. His heart jumped at the sight of Wash's paw creeping slowly across the tabletop. He yanked his orb off the table...

Io nodded. "Sure, yeah. Lemme grab my stuff then. Meet you guys in the kitchen." Anything to get out of that awkward situation. He pulled his robes tighter around himself, bracing his brittle frame against the breeze as he ran back inside and down the hall to his room. He took deeper breaths...

Io shivered. That voice...it was him. It was the first time his master had spoken to him since the pact was made a week earlier. He could instantly sense the entity's presence; it was like someone dipped a heavy cloak in ice water and draped it around his shoulders. His back tattoo itched like...

Io smirked and chuckled as Kali lorded her superior knowledge and magical skill over Wash. He made a mental note to try to impress her later, either with knowledge or a cool spell or something. But of course Cain had to confirm more foraging. And a hike, nonetheless. What else, twenty pushups...
