[LunaeFest4] A Mage's Opus

1 Favorite ・ 0 Comments

Inigo had found his way to where the cryer had been talking about a star map, and the constellations.  He was curious, had done the map, and  sat back, looking at his work.  Looking up to the sky, he picked out the mage from the rest of the constellations, and then recalled a bit of legend that had been passed around.  Legend had said a dragon had decided to attack the town where the mage lived.  A warrior had already been fighting the large dragon, when the warrior dropped his shield, and was making a last stand, proud and defiant.  The mage, who had been lost in studying for a time and didn’t notice the dragon, finally noticed the warrior, and the warrior’s predicament.  Using her magic, the mage called on all of her strength and will to conjure up a wide and deep lake, right in front of the warrior.  The warrior stood confused, but grateful that the landing space had been reduced.  What the warrior had missed, was that the dragon’s belly was coated in glittery Star Shards, gems, and other riches.  The conjured lake reflected the dragon’s belly, and the dragon dove into the water, trying to get the treasures, and perished.  It was a thing of fire, and it couldn’t swim.  The lake eventually evaporated, leaving behind the Star Shards, Gems, and riches to the town.  The Mage did not live to see the dragon’s bones, for the price of bringing the great lake into being, cost most of her will, and magical energy.  The warrior, grateful to the Mage for her sacrifice, took her body, and tossed it into the sky as a tribute, where it joined the stars.  He took his retirement in the very town, settling into the Mage’s abode, and working to spread her studies.
