Dans une autre rue à Jeorva...
Un torrent de cris a éclaté de la foule des spectateurs Brande s'était envolé. Zanna a étranglé pour le suivre, son visage enterré dans son coude pour se protéger de la chaleur.
"Après eux!" Shuzug a crié derrière eux, toujours en se remettant de l'explosion. Son cri était accompagné d'un sifflet haut de gamme pour alerter tous les autres orcs qui étaient à proximité.
"Nous-nous devons nous cacher!" Zanna s'est évanouie.
Comme Brande arrondissait le coin, il remarquerait l'Académie au loin. Les élèves ont continué à passer par la porte et à descendre les marches. Près de l'arrière de l'édifice, niché une petite cabane de jardin, vêtue de vignes de lierre et de feuilles d'automne tombées des arbres qui l'entouraient. La cabane possédait une seule fenêtre qui était trop couverte de grime pour voir à distance.
Plus loin dans la rue se tenait une deuxième paire de gardes d'orc. Leurs têtes grouillent pour regarder au-dessus de la rue bondée-- évidemment sur l'alerte, mais pas encore informé sur qui ils cherchaient. Les yeux de Zanna grandissaient à la vue d'eux et le bruit de son souffle devint inégal et tendu. Ses cheveux auburn lui collaient le cou et la joue. Dans la main de Brande, son poignet est devenu palpitant et froid.
Age: 79
Race: Elf
Gender: Female
Appearance: Similar to the picture, Rowena has long, light blonde (almost white) hair that ends just between her shoulder blades. It is slightly curly and typically pulled back in a loose, low ponytail. She has soft, almond shaped and honey colored eyes and a tattoo across each eye-- not an uncommon sight in elven culture. Also characteristic to elves, she has fair skin and sharp features that most would consider gracefully beautiful. She stands at a height of 5'11".
She wears a heavy gray-blue cloak with slits cut to accommodate her long, pointed ears. She wears light armor adorned with feathers, a gray-blue skirt, and thigh-high greaves along with a pair of sturdy, but form fitting boots. Her body is lithe and athletic-- resembling that of a healthy human woman in her early twenties.
Theme Song: v=MRxiFc4EfPs
Nature: All work and no play; Rowena is a good-humored, gregarious, and spirited goofball trapped within the body of an apprentice with too many responsibilities to be anything but a nervous wreck. With the weight of her life's mission on her shoulders, she finds very little time to satisfy her unquenchable thirst for fun. Maturity came hard and fast when the war came crashing down around her at the tender age of 19. She works hard to keep her inner wants and desires under wraps, however. There are more pressing matters at hand, and-- in her selfless mind-- if her sacrifices can truly save humanity, it will have all been worth it.
Backstory: Rowena is technically a half elf-- although this description holds little to no meaning. Elven blood, at least according to the elves, is the strongest of all races. It cannot be diluted. Rowena was born to her elven mother, Patience, and human father, Henry Mulligan. Henry tragically passed away during a pre-war attack on Vevian by a group of orcs in spite of her mother's wishes for him to stay with her. This was during the time that the elves were desperately trying to warn King Antony of the impending threat. As he had for years, however, he tried to ease their worries with assurances that the army would be made 'a bit' stronger and the walls be built 'a bit' higher.
She grew up with her mother in the northern forests, deciding at a young age that she wished to join the elven guard in honor of her human father, who had been a soldier for King Antony. Rowena valued the ability to protect those who were closest to her and trained hard. Shortly after the war began and the elves went into hiding, however, her mother perished in a horrible accident that Rowena was unable to prevent.
A kind sage from her tribe took her in and made her his apprentice. She has been by his side ever since. For years she has studied various topics from weapons training and herbology to magic and legend. With the Time of Awakening at hand, she has traveled to Jeorva with her master. Disguised as humans, they are to meet with the chosen seven and begin their quest to end the reign of their evil rulers once and for all....
Goal(s): Rowena wishes to do everything within her power to see the seven elementos succeed. These are the desires she clings to. In reality, however, Rowena possesses a burning desire to travel the world and learn more about human customs. They have always intrigued her, but such a frivolous dream mustn't be pursued-- her duty comes first and, as far as she's considered, is her one and only dream for now.
