Magic (5)True Names (5) - Every object, creature, location and other being within the spheres has a unique 'true name' in a special, ancient language, which can be used by those with the knowledge and the power to control aspects of them. Everything has a generic name (like 'rock' or 'sea'), but this gives but little power over the object or creature. On lower levels of this power, this form of magic can change the appearance of some object, or control the object or creature in a minor way. On higher levels, these changes take on more 'reality', and as a result will last longer. See " About Peregrine's Magic" in the Background section for details on abilities and levels. Powers (0)Bird Tongue (0) - Peregrine can talk to birds (if the birds feel like talking). Slow Aging (0) - The hero ages at 1/4 normal rate after reaching maturity. |

55. A young woman in a ball gown dances alone in front of a mirror in an otherwise empty room. Her once elegant gown is now tattered and threadbare. Her reflection dances in another world, worn gown replaced with finery, the room richly furnished and filled with guests. The woman dances with a handsome man dressed in regal finery. At the far side of the room, a raven sits upon a throne. My sister, who was eternally locked in her dreams. When she and I were both young, we used to play together in her dream world. Once I got older, she seemed too lost and pre-occupied by her fantasies, but now and then I long for those days... 99. A midnight grove in the forest, lit only by the faintest moonlight, is the place for this scene. A number of black cats, maybe eight or nine, are gathered here, and seem to be conversing or talking to one another. I dreamt one night of this scene. The cats, nine in all, were talking together in their own tongue, but somehow, I could understand their whispered secrets. That night, my desire to knowledge was awakened. When I rose the next morning, I found my way to the local Wizard, a man whose words could command the very winds, and begged him to take me as his apprentice. 54. Heavy rain driving across a corn field. Two figures are walking beside the field, struggling under the force of the wind and rain. The smaller of the figures is leaning on the larger for support. That was the day my teacher learned me humility... he could have pushed the rain away with just a word, I'm sure of that... but he did not, not because he could not (he said) but because there was no real need... I did not agree with him. 10. Small glade surrounded by deep, dark forest. Trees are large, apparently very old. Far to one side stands archer, wearing dark green clothes, with lowered longbow and expression of surprise on his face. He is looking at tree, where four arrows are buried, in perfectly even line. And fifth one is far to the right. This man I met later on my travels, a master of the bow. He taught me the secrets of shooting the bow, and of hitting what you aim for... in more ways than one. 116. A Mediterranean-looking woman removes an elaborate bronze mask from her face. She is wearing bronze armour and holds a short sword in her other hand. The background is obscured. I had just entered the Temple, looking for some lost and important treasure, when I met her... she probably was a priestess, her face hidden behind the elaborate mask, the only thing alive her brilliant green eyes. She seemed almost a statue, until she moved, with cat-like grace. I stood frozen, hypnotised by her strange beauty. I still do not know how I left that place, but I found myself, shaking and naked, looking into a nearby lake... |
DescriptionPeregrine is a young-looking man, dressed in loose-fitting robes, coloured grey and muted blue, with embroidery in vivid reds, greens and blues along the borders (in the shape of Celtic-style knotwork). He carries a white, wooden staff with him (probably birch), capped on both ends with copper caps. On his back he carries a longbow and a quiver of arrows, and on his belt a falconer's glove hangs. His hair, bound back in a pony-tail, is a yellow-golden blonde, and his eyes are the grey of the sea when the storms blow. Note: the peregrine falcon is a subspecies of falcon. The name applies to both the male and the female. It seems to be about crow-sized, with white colouring on the body, and a darker, speckled appearance of the wings.
