Welcome to Gaia! ::

Traveling a different path than that of the Seer, Nokomis had taken it upon herself to travel along an old route. One of nostalgia, she was born in this nation several hundred years ago, before her actual turning. From the one point when she had been human... this was her birthplace, it was Ernya.

Shrouded in her cloak, she passed slowly along the road that had not been there in her memory. The sun was well up in the sky, shining down and burning her from under her heavy cloak. Even as it was, he paled skin was covered mostly save for the lower section of her face and her exposed neck under the jaw.

Aquamarine, a trading city she assumed, had been her first town to pass through. She avoided using the void for travel and moved only on foot during the day. Paranoia struck her in this land, or rather everywhere now she thought of it.

'The woman had magical power, so she mentioned teachers.' Nokomis thought to herself and she kept walking through town, she collected looks and stares from a few people but she ignored each of them.

She carried very little and only had a small bag with the essentials; a whet stone, vials of 'nourishment', casual wear, and a journal with a map. She had no need for food, other than blood, and had no need of sleep or anything else.

Guess there were some benefits to being undead.

'Those who use magic, my best bet is to start with the capital. The Byron must be around as well... I'll hunt them later.' Nokomis continued her walk until a man barked 'halt' from behind. Her head turned slightly but even then she ultimately ignored him. With more pressing remarks, the woman lost her edge as he made a sexist comment of 'being deaf of ear'.

With just a split second, she warped through a pool of darkness and came forth in front of the male, drawing her dagger with her hand clutching his shirt. Glaring from under the darkness of her hood, she hissed as her dagger touched the tender flesh of his neck.

"Speak once more and your life's blood will run out like a river, male." With that, Nokomis retreated from the man after sending him sprawling to the dirt. Twisting away with a turn of her heel, she sheathed her dagger and continued on her way. Turning a corner, her form turned to a mist as she stepped through the shadow and transported herself to the other 'plane' before the man came back. And when he did, she was already gone.

Yet she did not travel far off, warping back into the material plane just about a couple meters away. She only resumed her trek further into the town for basically information, a thing or two and then be on her way toward the capital.
