Characters: Vekk (OU), OPEN
Where: The jungle around Rata Sum (Vekk's world segment)
When: Afternoon
Summary: Even with all of the new knowledge he was amassing, it wouldn't do to let his other knowledge go to waste.
Warnings: Possible violence if others join him in practice and there's sparring involved.
The jungle that surrounded Rata Sum wasn't quite as dense as the Maguuma Jungle, but one could easily get lost under the thick foliage. Sunlight filtered through the leaves haphazardly as if trying to find a weak point in the shadows' defenses. Where it managed to break through--if a wary traveller was fortunate--would offer glimpses of creatures in the jungle.
Crack! The arrow-shaped bolt of lightning struck an already well-blackened stone, blasting off chips from the rock's face. This was followed by a forceful blast of air, knocking the rock back just a little with force alone.
Vekk panted a little, swiping the back of his hand across his brow and wincing as he felt his soaked headband. Gale wasn't as easy as it looked and had a delightful tendency to exhaust the aeromancer that had cast it. He'd been at this for quite some time, almost two hours if his internal clock was right, and he needed a break.
He picked up a satchel he'd had made in one of the "replicators", pulling out a flask of water and some bread. Before he could enjoy his belated noonday meal, however, a faint snap of foliage caught his attention. He set down his meal, rising slowly and listening carefully. Hopefully it wasn't any of the spiders that inhabited this part of the Tarnished Coast.
