HelpRe: Amara L's Halloween Congrats round #1 (sign-ups allowed)
in reply to a message by Amara L.
LN: Silvermoon
Dgf: Bellatrix Maia Gray {Healer}
Dbf: Mortimas Irving Silvermoon {Warlock}
DS: Thorne Bertram Silvermoon {Sorcerer}
It was a difficult decision to make, but Maia and Mortimas finally decided that he would go to the academy, while she stayed with his family. Keeping up his illusion would be much harder, on one hand because the instructors at the academy were more vigilant than the teachers at the town school, and on the other because he would have to mime being someone else not only in school, but also around his peers. And if his cover blew, disaster would break loose. Entering the academy would also mean to be separated for three years... if 'Maia' adhered to the rules, that is. And Mortimas promised he would not. They parted, conviced to see each other again during winter solstice celebrations.
It was Mortimas mother, Saga, who first noticed Maia's pregnancy. She told the more than surprised young woman that she sensed the same shift of aura in Maia she herself had felt when carrying Mortimas. (Certainly the child would take after his father's magical powers.) Maia was upset at first, mad at Mortimas, and determined to travel to the academy to reveal his true identity. After a long talk with Saga she calmed down though. She knew he would immediately come back if he knew about the child. He would give up all he had and cold achieve in the academy to stay with them. Reflecting on this, Maia realised that as much as she wanted him to come back, she didn't want him to give up his dreams. She decided it was time for her to diguise herself. Saga agreed to play along, even though she would have liked for her son to stop studying what she saw as useless formalised abstracitions of real magic.
Mortimas indeed managed to get around the academy's restrictions and slipped away for just long enough to spend the winter solstice with his family. Maia was five months pregnant by now, but Saga and her had made sure he would not notice. Magical illusions of course would be useless, but the simple art of creating illusions out of cloth could trick him. He went back to the academy worrying about nothing more than how to get back in unnoticed, and maybe how to get out the next time.
Winter was barely over when Thorne Bertram was born. He was named after Saga's father from whom Mortimas had inherited much of his looks as well as his talent and interest for higher magic. How fitting his middle name would turn out to be...
