OTTERS.

[morthwyl]

[Let's backtrack a little. Maybe in the earlier timeline, a decade or two before Hadrian decided to just wander off with a smol child. See, Eiriol Maxwell was never a spirit. These days, it'd be hard to call her a demihuman or human or any kind of mortal, either. Maxwell is, in essence, a living anti-spirit weapon, impervious to most kinds of magic, able to grasp fire and lightning in her bare hands, with an even greater lung capacity than you'd expect from an average otter.

Of course, the Worldburner cell that experimented on her is very, very dead. And Eiriol, well...Eiriol vanished from where they were keeping her while they decided what to do with her.

She is currently halfway up a mountain several miles away, that seemed interesting to her. And given her body is covered with wards and she is honestly a giant beacon of magic, she's...probably standing out to anyone here, too.]

[This is the problem with dealing with something as old in soul as him. Hadrian Gates -- now the acting minister, still referred to as Hadrian the Relentless from his time in both wars, now, or Haruandanath by the spirits still old enough to remember before they took on more human names -- likes his peace and quiet. It makes assisting the other spirits under his auspices much easier. And because of that, he is imperceptible on this mountain. At least, to most. Eiriol may get the impression she's being watched.]
