<div align="center">Feldor Kelmaric (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=96661.msg4199702#msg4199702)</div>The sound of the cold wind whistling through the leafless trees is the first thing Feldor hears after awakening from Athena’s dream. The second sound is the deep rumbling purr of Seiceron his white tiger companion. Feldor opens his eyes to see the first morning light peeking through the shudders on the window of the room he has been staying in. His thoughts drift back to the dream he just. This one finally sticking with upon waking, all previous dreams of Athena and the map became the vaguely remember images that dreams usually are. This one is vivid as if it were a waking memory and the map is especially clear, but there are no names and it is of some distant land he has never been to before. Before rising from the bed he breaths a silent prayer, “<em>Lady Athena, your great wisdom many times surpasses my mortal comprehension. I am sorry I truly do not wish to fail you, but without knowing where this forest is with this clearing I am at a loss as to how to get there as you request. I will however do everything in my power to get there as quickly as I can.</em>”<br/><br/>Rolling over Feldor lets hand dangle off the bed reaching for Seiceron to scratch him behind the ears as is their morning ritual. He is surprised to have his hand find the thick curse fur much sooner than before. Thinking that maybe the great cat had raised his head Feldor still goes to scratch but soon realizes that ears are larger and further apart. He looks down to see that once large cat is now massive. His next thought is of his arrows and Athena’s promise. Looking at his quiver where it is leaning against the wall he switches to his mage sight and see the arrows glowing brightly to his ability to see magic. Switching back to normal vision the arrows simply look like finely crafted weapons.<br/><br/>Feldor dresses quickly and goes down to the common room for his breakfast. After finishing his meal he and Seiceron head out into the wilderness around International Falls Minnesota. The snow here is still deep and crisp their breath making clouds about their heads briefly in cold northern air. Using his mage sight he locates a leyline of magical energies of the world. Grounding and center his own energies and mind, he mental reaches out tapping into the line. Using primarily spirit and air he beings to cast his vision high into the sky looking down at the planet. He moves his focus up until he can see the entire continent. Seeing something that resembles the map he tightens his focus into the area until he finally finds the clearing in a forest of redwoods in California.<br/><br/>Closing his eyes Feldor releases the magic, and when he opens them he is once looking through normal eyes at the cold northern wilderness. Placing his hand idly between Seiceron’s ears he says, “Well my friend it looks like we have a bit of journey ahead of us.” Seiceron huffs and rubs his massive head against Feldor affectionately. “You seem pleased with Athena’s gift. Whatever she is asking of us must be dangerous if she thinks you needed to be so much larger.”
