One thing I've tried to emphasise with Bronwyn is her emotional vulnerability. She is someone who is very expressive at times, someone who cries when faced with a tough situation, but I never let that detract from her strength! She cries, but she gets the job done anyway. #AwesomeCharacters

I feel like Bronwyn would apologise even if it wasn't her fault, then get mad either later on or if the person was rude. Her first instinct would be kind, but if they respond with rudeness, she'll reply in kind. Reha tells them to watch where they're going - but still stops to pick up fruit.

(Funda)mental for today's snip - going back to Part One seems strange now that I'm all the way into the end of Part 2 of DotS! Part 3 soon hopefully, and 80k words down! #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

It was a foolish, childish hope, she knew. But she couldn't stop herself from looking. Time and again she went to the picture of Hal's last class, figuring that, by their age, these people were the same age as her mother. She never asked Hal about it: she knew the old man would not understand, would not want her wasting her time. He would tell her that who her parents were, where she came from, these things didn't matter.

He would never understand that they did matter, in the most fundamental way.

After a whole day on the water, stopping only to eat, she stopped by simply grounding the Skiff against the low shore.

This is a good one; Bronwyn initially begins her journey out of stubbornness. She leaves the temple-tower because Hal refuses to, in order to answer a call for help, stubbornly insisting that it's what they (wizards) are supposed to do. But she also has a selfish motivation, which she denies even —

Hal’s frown deepened. “Swear it by your name.”

She hesitated. That was a serious oath, not one uttered lightly. To break an oath sworn on your own name was to invoke the wrath of every God known and unknown.

“I swear by my name, I will not pass this door until I am ready.”

Looking again, Bronwyn saw that the door had no handle.

And no lock.

Bronwyn would probably buy a load of supplies for magic — inks, paints, quality brushes, parchments, new notebooks and quills, pens, and pencils... All things for inscribing spell circles or recording ideas for spells or combinations she has, or for research and unravelling spells.

I've been neglecting to post again lately! Bronwyn reflects on her lessons in magic and the dreams they bring in today's snip. #WriteSky #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity

Not that the remaining lessons weren’t demanding. It was all she could do in an evening to remember to unlace her boots before she collapsed into the cot in her room, exhausted from another day of sparring, writing, learning… ordinarily she would have thought she would be too tired to dream, but instead she did most nights. Most were strange, disjointed dreams without substance, but others were vivid, startling recollections of her past that made her unsure where she was when she woke, until her breath calmed and reality fell into place around her. Perhaps it was the Tower-Temple itself, a conduit for magic, flowing through her. She felt she would know, if she found the answers behind that door with no lock…

Really, REALLY far. Bron doesn't know where she was born - but it's a long way off. She grew up in Harebell, in South Estril, half a continent away. Even the Tower where she learns magic with Hal, she eventually leaves, and that's north of the Fenns! She travels a lot 😂

I struggled to remember if I even had "coffee" in my WIP or if I had replaced it with another name as I have done before — glad to see I had left it in! Hal *not* casting spells in today's snip. #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

He made himself coffee, and contemplated these questions. As always, the voice of the arcane was silent, unhelpful as ever in these moments of private weakness. A spell could have sweetened the coffee, made it palatable, rather than dark and bitter. He did not cast it.

The fireplace in the kitchen was burning low. A spell could have made golden flames leap from the grate, to fill the room with warmth and light. Hal took a log from the pile, and placed it gently atop the dying flames.

The power of belief today! Many different cultures of magic center on the idea of belief, of "manifesting" if you will, the idea that you have to wholeheartedly believe in what you're doing for your spells to work. Knowledge without belief is only information! #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

In magic, this was one of the core principles: As I believe it, so will it be. It formed the cornerstone of all arcane application. In order to make any spell take effect, you had to believe that it was going to succeed, that it would work. Without that belief, that conviction in the function of magic, then no spell would work. No amount of detail in your arcane circle, no quantity of research, no degree of understanding in the greater mechanics of magic could replace simple willpower.

A bit of a geography lesson for you all with today's "North" prompt; I'll add a map in as well so you can see what Bron is talking about! (Map made using Inkarnate) #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

The search quickly proved fruitless. She tried several of the more reputable-looking stores in the winding streets, climbing tilting staircases to teetering second floors and browsing shelf after shelf of paper, but none of the maps she found named Runwald as a location. She could find North Haugr easily enough — but that covered a third of the Empire, with some maps going as far as to include charted paths through the Copsonwood in the Far North, all the way up to the border with the Dwervic Territories and the Istvala Greatwood. Not a single one named Rünwald.

A flutter, like bird’s wings, drew her to the end of the corridor. The outer wall lay to her left, and the right side of the passage was full of rooms she had never looked into. They seemed to be… bunk rooms, or dormitories, where pupils would sleep two to a room, or four in those that had tiered bunk-beds. How long since these rooms last been occupied? Ten years? Twenty? A hundred?

Again he advanced, fencing aggressively, pressing her back against the rail — Bronwyn couldn't stay there, limiting her mobility. The captain swung for her again, she parried and slipped to the side, clearing the gunwale, using her longsword's superior reach to keep him at bay. If he wanted to do serious damage to her, he would have to press in close.

He paused, letting those words sink in, considering carefully his next. “To be a Wizard now is more dangerous than it has ever been – you would be feared by common folk, hunted by agents of the Empire, shunned by people you once considered yourself one of. Despite all this…” Finally his gaze met hers. “I wish in part to be selfish. To pass on what I know in the twilight of my life, so that there is at least one other to carry on the knowledge, to keep it from being stamped out to nothing, a footnote to history. I do wish to teach you, child.“Do you still wish to learn?”

Everywhere there were new sounds, new smells, new everything! Almost as soon as she had stepped foot across the city border, merchants were shouting at her, flogging their wares — sheets of silk fine cloth by the yard or by the bolt, bags of spices sold by the measure, spirits sold by the bottle… there seemed to be no end to what was on offer. The further she went, the more she saw: fresh fruit and cooked meat that made her mouth water and her stomach growl, items of garish clothing she could never imagine wearing herself, stalls full of brass oddities she could hardly name, let alone find a use for

Bronwyn definitely does curse — I try to limit it where I can, personally, because I feel that coarse language is most effective when it's used sparingly. It hits harder when a character who usually holds back suddenly drops a swear word, than a character who swears all the time.

A bit of a longer snip to make up for the lack of posting lately — I couldn't miss out on this prompt, very meta! #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

“You still haven’t said how any of this helps me learn magic,” she insisted.

Hal sighed. Pulling a piece of paper towards himself, he carefully wrote out a few looping, unfamiliar symbols, each interconnecting with each other. Where Bronwyn had been learning to write in neat lines, left-to-right, he placed the symbols on three points of a triangle, the tails of each joining to the foot of its neighbor. When he was done, he drew a circle connecting all three points, then a triangle within that.

“Can you read this?” he asked, handing the paper to her.

“What is it?”

“Magic,” he said, tapping the paper. “Can you read it?”

Bronwyn’s brows drew together. “No.”

Rushak nodded, worry burgeoning along with
the nausea. Where were Drisal and the others? What had happened? And what hounded him and Theris
behind the clearing, gaining like the approaching storm? A sudden and IMMEDIATE fear gripped him,
like the chill in the tower moments before his and Cerel's capture. He glanced back across the meadow as the horses picked up speed. He fought the urge to let go of Theris's cloak. His stomach roiled. His mouth filled with water. "Theris-"

"Keep your mind with the horses. Shield
them! That fox was not chasing the rabbit. Both were fleeing the evil that follows us."

Bronwyn learns there's more to magic than just knowing the words in today's snip; there were almost too many options to choose from with today's prompt, so I went with the first one which seemed halfway decent! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WIPsnips

Instead, she was disappointed to find that magic meant yet more study. Arduous, time-consuming study. Even though her progress learning to read had been better than Hal hoped, every word was still a struggle; she hated the halting, faltering sound of her own voice as she spelled out letters like a child to understand a word she hadn’t come across before, and in the works of magic, these were plenty.

The healing process in today's snip — a little insight into the limits of healing magic, and Bronwyn's own knowledge thereof. I wanted to give magic at least some ability to heal, but not to be a cureall; at least not in Bronwyn's hands. #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

There are many spells for healing. Fresh wounds are, compared to many ailments, very simple to heal with magic: one simply needs to close the cut, and cause the skin to scab or scar, encouraging the body's natural processes — the clotting of blood, for example — to accelerate. Bronwyn's knowledge of healing was relatively limited; she could not hope to help someone dying of infection, or a complex disease… but she could mend a broken bone, or close a cut.

Shortcuts? No shortcuts in the way of magic, as Hal says! It takes time and dedication! No idea why there's a huge gap here between lines, I think it's a common problem with Ellipsus. #WIPsnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

“To learn magic, you must learn to read magic. Knowing the words and gestures will get you so far only. The arcane symbols which comprise the Arcane are more complicated by far than any other language I will teach you. You need a strong understanding of how languages work, how they live and evolve, before anything of Magic will make sense to you. There is no shortcut, no quick and easy path, I’m afraid. Learning magic takes time, and study.”
“How long?”
Hal considered. “If you are lucky? You will be casting spells within a year.”

The old man nodded slowly, refilling Bronwyn’s mug with more tea from a pot by the fire. “Something wrong with being a blacksmith?” he asked eventually.
When she met his pale blue eyes again, she felt the wizard was peering into her somehow, down past the skin and to the soul within her very bones. Bronwyn knew she couldn’t evade the question with silence.
“I don’t want to be a blacksmith,” she said at length.

The fat, slow, river-fish which swum in the Fenns were laughably easy to catch with the aid of magic. Bronwyn traced a simple bigram on the ground with a stick, and lured the fish close with the spell until they literally crowded the shore by her feet, heedless of her presence; a quick downward thrust with Zakiel skewered one, then another, then a third of the fish. Each was as big around as her thigh, all slippery muscle and scales.

Bronwyn travels down into the bowels of the mountain in today's snip, "step"! Struggled to find a good one — it's been more than 2 weeks since I actually wrote anything new! #WriteSky #WIPsnips #WritingCommunity

These were not the familiar worked stone, tile, and pavings that she was used to in the rest of the Temple: the walls were rough like a cave or a mine, and so close as to feel claustrophobic. The low ceiling even caused Hal to bend forward in some places, and the floor angled ever down, sometimes in steps, sometimes just at an incline, and every turn they took made Bronwyn feel like she was descending down the throat of the living mountain beneath them.
