The Cost of Magic | D&D

[a/n: I got the sudden urge to write a piece on my Wood Elf Rogue, Valkaer after our last session, it was a fuckin’ doozy.

A little info on characters: Valkaer is a 27 year old Elf Rogue, currently tasked with keeping her party, Sahvyn; a human Wizard, Kell; a Halfling Monk, and Thrung; A half-orc Barbarian alive. A year before the adventure, she lost her lover and fiancée Oriala to a mysterious cult. Oriala’s sister Elisande is a warlock who trained Oriala and attempted to train Valkaer, who chose to stick with daggers.]

Rating: G

Words: 2225

Summary: Valkaer feels something calling to her, something that’s letting her use warlock magic. She enlists the help of an old friend to advise on her next move

The dragon snarls, fresh gashes line its body, puncture wounds from Valkaer’s precise stabs, slices taken out of its scale and flesh from Thrung’s axe, shattered and scorched scales from Kell’s relentless attacks and Sahvyn’s spells. Burning liquid shadow drips from its mouth as it breathes deep and unleashes a torrent of shadowfire.

Valkaer leaps just in time to avoid the flame completely, she smirks as she lands. “You’ll need to do better than that to get at us” she thinks to herself, then she hears it; after the roaring sound of fire dies down, the soft sound of a Halfling hitting the ground.

She turns just in time to see Bea rush to Kell’s motionless body, and her heart skips a beat. She was supposed to protect them, keep them alive. And she failed. She let another loved one die.

She turns, stares back at the dragon, rage and grief building deep inside her, she hears Thrung let out a bestial roar to her right and for a brief moment, she swears she sees red flash in his eyes. Hers are cold, glazed over.

She drops the Ironwood dagger in her right hand as a thick black smoke starts to envelop her entire form. She’s felt this before, the night Oriala died. She reaches deep, taps into the rage and grief that threaten to shatter her from within, cling to the memory of Kell, and Oriala. Thinks back to what little Elisande had taught her.

She lifts her hand, the black smoke concentrates around her arm, then gathers in her palm. That same fury she saw in Thrung now radiates through her. In an instant, she snaps back to the real world, her golden eyes momentarily flashing red as all of the rage, all of the grief culminates in two inky black beams, like streams of black opal spout from her hand and fire at the dragon.

She sees the beams make contact, then feels a warmth coat the entire back side of her body as golden light spills past her form, followed by a gasp for breath. She goes to turn but is caught off guard by the sound of metal crunching through scale and flesh and bone and earth. Again and again and again and again, until all that is left of the dragon’s neck is mince.

Thrung drags the dragon’s head back towards the entrance of the clearing wordlessly, as Valkaer drops her other dagger and sprints to Kell, dropping to her knees to embrace him. She hasn’t cried in a year. Kell, bless his heart, is more concerned about Valkaer crying into his shoulder than having just died and been resurrected.

The party collects their rewards from the dragon’s hidden hoard and return with the beast’s head. Once all is said and done, the carriage, along with Larry and Barry, is a welcome sight.

The next morning, while Kell makes breakfast and Thrung looks around to see if he can find Rage skulking nearby, Valkaer wanders over to the treeline and holds out her right hand, palm facing a tree. She closes her eyes and tries to find that feeling, that mixture of rage and grief and hopelessness that she felt when Oriala died, and again last night.

She thinks back to Elisande’s teaching. “Warlock magic is highly emotional. You need to feel every spell, feel the weight of it on your soul. Every spell has a cost, every spell takes a toll on your very being.”

She speaks the words aloud to herself over and over, adopting it as a mantra. “If you don’t fuel your spells with your emotions, they’ll feed on your soul.” She stands there for what feels like hours, arm outstretched, fingers splayed.

Finally, she concentrates on the feeling she had last night, the memory of it still fresh in her mind, the feeling still fresh in the pit of her stomach. She thinks she feels something, something press against the inside of her skull, something whispering, distant, alluring, and something pushing against her fingertips, as if trying to burst out from within.

And then, nothing. The wind picks up momentarily, howls through the trees, and again, she swears she hears that same alluring whisper, as if something is calling to her. She shakes it off, she’s over-tired, she hasn’t slept in a month, and Trances are only so good.

She makes her way back to the carriage just as Kell finishes breakfast, and Thrung returns, a poorly-hidden frown painted on his face, doubtless Rage was nowhere to be seen. She takes her place next to Thrung, resting against him as she eats. She has never savoured Kell’s cooking more than this morning.

As the sun dips below the buildings in Exaris, Valkaer slips easily out of the castle. She has spent the last few months mapping it out in her mind, watching guard patrols in her days off, when she lazes about the castle. She can get in and out now without anyone knowing she ever left.

She makes her way through the twisting streets, towards, and eventually past the Sailheart, to the western gate, where she finds a familiar form waiting for her. Black robes, a hood pulled up, black horns poking over the brim, a long, slender tail waving back and forth, curling as it does, and a skull floating beside her, purple energy radiating from it.

“It’s been a year, Valkaer.” And Valkaer’s heart skips a beat. She forgot how alike Elisande and Oriala sound. “Why did you send the gnome to find me?”

“It’s nice to see you’re doing well, Ellie” her throat is dry, she’s hoping in vain that Elisande doesn’t turn around. She does, and Valkaer’s heart sinks.

“Better than my sister.” Her words cut like knives, there’s a venom in her tone, but her face softens when she sees Valkaer’s composure begin to break. “I—I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. This year has been hard for me, Valkaer. For us both I imagine. Seeing you tonight is bringing back the memories I had of her, of you both.”

“It’s much the same for me, trust me.. At least I don’t look and sound like her,” she said, managing a chuckle. But the waver in her voice gives her away. “I’m sure neither of us want to spend tonight bringing up memories of her, so I’ll just come out with it. I used warlock magic.”

Elisande’s eyes widen, and her head cocks at this, “I thought you told me you’d “stick to the cloak and dagger”.. What’s your patron?”

“That’s the thing,” Valkaer pauses, unsure of what to expect, “I don’t have one.”

Elisande shakes her head, “Impossible. Warlock magic comes from our patron.” she motions to the skull, which looks between Elisande and Valkaer, then nods at Valkaer.

“Maybe it’s different for me? Like, Drow have innate magical ability, maybe it’s the same with wood elves?” she paces, running through what could have caused it, and her mind briefly flashes back to the outskirts of the forest, the whisper in her head. “There was something, though..”

“What kind of something Valkaer?” there’s a panic to her voice, the kind that sets Valkaer on alert.

“It wasn’t anything specific, but it felt like it was calling to me. Like it was in my head.”

Elisande rushes forward and grabs Valkaer by both shoulders, “Listen to me. This is important and your life may very well depend on it.”

Six years Valkaer has known Elisande, and never has she seen her look or sound like this. Elisande Netherspite, the calm, collected warlock, always the voice of reason, always the calm, never the storm, is now losing her composure. Her voice wracked with worry.

“Warlocks make pacts with their patrons. Our very existence is a bid for power, for gain. Nothing. And I mean nothing calls out for a warlock. If something is giving you this power and calling you to find it, you need to run. Run as far in the opposite direction as you can.”

Valkaer pulls away, takes a step back, “Ellie, the only two times I’ve ever been able to harness that magic were the night Ori died, and the night.. Recently.. That another friend died. I…” she pauses, trying to find the words.

“I have people I need to protect. People I can’t let die. This isn’t a personal duty to people I love, this is a mission. This is important. Maybe the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life. I’ve seen what your magic can do, I’ve seen how powerful it can be. If whatever is calling out to me can give me that power, give me the ability to protect my charge, my friends, I’m going to seek it out.”

Elisande lowers her head, and tears drop into the sand at her feet. When she looks up, it’s almost as if all of the brilliant green has faded from her eyes. She’s calm once more. “I will not sit idly by while the only family I have left marches to her death. You’re not the only one who picked up things from Ori.”

As she speaks, the skull chatters something silently to her, “No, Xal. Not this time.” She responds aloud. “Goodbye, Valkaer. I’ll see you again.” She spins on her heels in a way that hits Valkaer harder than it should, and walks out of the city, headed for Sedieas.

Valkaer, despite how tired she is, doesn’t sleep that night. She gives up after an hour and resorts to drinking alone in the dining hall, watching soldiers on the late shift sit down for lunch, or dinner, or perhaps even a late breakfast.

“Alone latenight drinking? Christ, Valkaer, I didn’t know it was this bad,” were it any other time, Valkaer would have smiled at the familiar sound of Thrung’s voice, but tonight her path weighs heavily on her mind.

“Thrung, let me ask you something..” she says, a slur in her voice, “If there was something calling you, a source of great power, and you knew you had to find it, had to seek it out and take it, but it could be a trap.. Would you go for it? Would you try to find it?”

Thrung sits beside her and retrieves a bottle of tequila from the bag of holding and uncorks it with his teeth, spitting the cork at one of the soldiers eating across the room. “Are you not something of an expert when it comes to traps?” he takes a large swig and offers the bottle to Valkaer, who happily takes it.

“Not that kind of trap.” She looks at her right hand, she can still almost feel the pressure against the insides of her fingertips, like her bones were trying to force their way out, “I spoke with.. an expert tonight. She seemed terrified when I told her.” And she takes a swig and passes the bottle back to Thrung.

Thrung thinks a moment before downing the rest of the tequila, “You humans and your tiny bottles.”

“I’m an elf”

“You’re all tiny and breakable.”

Valkaer manages a laugh, despite the decision weighing on her mind. “I’m going to find it. And I want you to promise me something.. If it turns out to be a trap. If I go darkside, get possessed, try to kill you. Don’t try to subdue me. You’ve seen me fight, you know how much damage I can do if given half a chance.”

“What are you asking me to do, Valkaer?”

“If I find.. whatever it is that’s calling to me, and it bites me in the ass, if it causes me to turn on you. I want you to kill me. Don’t hold back.”

Thrung thinks for a moment, then nods. “It will be an honor”

Valkaer scoffs, “I hardly think killing me is an honor”

“No, I meant it will be an honor for you to die by my blade.”

Again, she manages a laugh. And it’s moments like this that remind Valkaer why she loves Thrung. Even tonight, with fresh memories of Oriala in her mind, with the thought of marching to her potential death, with the weight of her choices to come bearing down on her, Thrung still manages to cast all of that aside and make her laugh.

The rest of the night passes, Thrung and Valkaer sit by the fire sharing drinks and stories. She tells him more that night than she has shared with anyone in the last year. She tells him about Oriala, how she died, about how Elisande had blamed her for months for her sister’s death, about how she came to work for the Claw after leaving the Dark Hand.

Eventually, as dawn breaks and the morning light begins to peek through the high windows in the dining hall, as the fire is no more than embers dancing over ash, Sahvyn and Kell walk through the big double doors, ready for breakfast, and spot Valkaer and Thrung, still drunk, talking and laughing.

The party eats breakfast together and decides to go about their days. Kell meditates and focuses on harnessing his new power, Sahvyn returns to his room to study his father’s journals, and Valkaer goes with Thrung, to the courtyard, where Starkness and Thrung so often trained.

“So, what do you want to learn, Valkaer?”

“I would like to rage.”

30 Suave Ash Brown Hair Shades

New Post has been published on http://healingawerness.com/getting-healthy/getting-healthy-women/30-suave-ash-brown-hair-shades/

30 Suave Ash Brown Hair Shades

Anjali Sayee December 11, 2018

Smokey brown, dusty brown and silver brown – these are some synonyms for the ash brown hair color that has taken over the world. Much like its blonde counterpart, ash brown hair wasn’t popular back in the day. Over time, its smokey look appealed to women who wanted to look mysterious. Ash brown is one of the most versatile hair colors. It doesn’t require much bleaching as you don’t need your hair to go completely blonde. It’s the perfect brunette-to-blonde transition color. Moreover, ash brown brings a glossy effect to your hair while adding more depth to it.

Here are a few things you need to know before you take the ash brown leap.

What You Need To Know About Ash Brown Hair

If you have blonde hair, transitioning to ash brown simply requires coloring your hair. Since your hair color is already light, taking on a darker shade is easy. In fact, if you’re dyeing your hair at home, the color on the box is the color your hair will take on if you apply it as per the instructions given.

If you have brown hair, you will have to apply a little bleach and variations of the ash shade, depending on how light or dark it is. Dark brown hair might require a little bleaching and a dark ash shade. Medium and light brown will only require an ashy brown color of your choice.

Black hair will need to be bleached since it is a dark color. But don’t fret, you don’t need to bleach it too much since you’re just shifting from black to brown and not blonde.

If you are dyeing your hair at home, I urge you to take safety precautions. Wear rubber gloves while applying the dye. Apply petroleum jelly all along your hairline so that the dye does not stain your skin. Wear old clothes that you don’t mind staining and follow the instructions precisely.

If you’re not sure which shade will suit your skin tone, talk to a hairstylist. It’s always good to get a professional opinion.

The best part about ash brown is that colors like rose gold, smoky blue, and denim mahogany really shine through when used for highlights. Ash brown, being a versatile color, adds a smoky effect to any hair color it is paired with. It also works amazingly well with pastel shades.

Now, let’s get to the part everyone’s been waiting for. Without further ado, here are my top 30 picks for the best ash brown hair colors.

30 Suave Ash Brown Hair Shades

1. Dusty Ash Brownx

Instagram

This dusty ash brown hair is like green tea – it requires an acquired taste. To get this look, ask your hairstylist for a dusty ash brown balayage. Balayage is the technique used to color your hair freehand instead of with a brush.

2. Ash Brown Dimension

Instagram

Ash brown can add texture and volume to your locks. Add some light ash brown highlights to your locks to achieve this look. Style your hair in waves to make it bouncy and voluminous.

3. Cappuccino Ash Brown Hair

Instagram

Brunette-blonde contrast is trending right now. This could be because pastel and dusty shades are a win with the millennials. Opt for a muddy ash brown that fades into a dusty blonde shade to create this stunning hair look.

4. Glossy Dark Ash Brown

Instagram

Women always want their hair to look glossy. No amount of shine is ever too much. If you have thin hair, add some contrast to it with an ash brown hair color. Styling it straight at the top and curly at the bottom to liven it up.

5. Strawberry Ash Brown

Instagram

Have you ever worn a neutral-toned outfit and added a pop of red lipstick to realize that you’ve found the perfect look? This strawberry ash brown blend is the hair rendition of that. A hint of strawberry blonde on ash brown hair is all you need to brighten up your locks.

6. Warm-Toned Ash Brown Blend

Instagram

A brunette-to-blonde ombre doesn’t have to be dreary. Add some smokey ash blonde to transition from the dark brown roots to blonde ends. It looks perfect for the winter. The warm tone works well with colors like orange, yellow, and gold.

7. Deep Coffee Ash Brown

Instagram

Have you ever woken up to the smell of coffee in the morning? It always paves the way for my day. This deep coffee ash brown color reminds me of that. It adds a nice touch to the deeper hits of brown in your hair.

8. Light Ash Brown

Instagram

If you’ve had brown hair all your life and want to transition to blonde, start off with this hair color. This light shade of ash brown resembles a dark dirty blonde shade, which is one of the trendiest blonde shades of our time.

9. Golden Ash Brown

Instagram

Gold – love it or hate it, it always makes an impression that is hard to look away from. You can’t deny that this golden hue blended with ash brown looks royal. It makes your hair look rich and nourished.

10. Ash Brunette Dimension

Instagram

We know that there are many shades of brown: ash brown, medium brown, light, and dark brown. And let’s not forget strawberry brown and rose brown. The list goes on. Incorporating multiple shades of ash brown color can add dimension to your hair and make it look thicker.

11. Classic Ash Brown

Instagram

Ash brown hair is often called mousy hair as well. The infused ash color gives your brown locks a smokey look. Ideally, the classic smokey ash brown look is cool-toned, but you can also add warm colors to it to match your skin’s undertone.

12. Dark Ash Brown

Instagram

If your brown locks are as deep and dark as murky water, don’t despair! Dark ash brown is cleverly mysterious. Adding ash to dark brown hair can give your hair a softer appearance, which, in turn, highlights your face shape and features.

13. Dark-To-Light Ash Ombre

Instagram

Ombre has been the leading hairstyle trend for quite some time now. Whether it is a cold winter or a blazing hot summer, you can find an ombre to make your mood a whole lot better. If you want that perfect sun-kissed look to flaunt at your vacation, try this ash brown ombre. It will glisten in the sun and make some heads turn!

14. Muddy Ash Brown

Instagram

The air is filled with petrichor or the smell right after it rains. This lovely marshy smell makes my heart happy. Reminisce on that with this wonderfully earthy ash brown hair color. It is ideal for fall.

15. Ash Brown Balayage

Instagram

It is a well-known fact that styling your hair in waves can make it look voluminous. Pair it with this lovely light ash brown blend, and you’ve got yourself a winner. It’s surprising what three colors like light brown, ash brown, and dark brown can do for your hair! Looks spectacular, doesn’t it?

16. Sun-Kissed Ash Brown Hair

Instagram

Some of us plan our getaways just to get back with a tan and sun-kissed hair, so people can tell we’ve been vacationing. This light ash brown hair color makes for the perfect “I’ve-just-come-back-from-a-vacay-in-Fiji” hair look. The waves that it has been styled in just adds to its appeal.

17. Winter Blend

Instagram

Deadvlei is one of the most picturesque places in the world. Situated in Namibia, it has dead brown trees on ashy sand. While it sounds ominous, it is anything but that (google it to see what I mean). The combination of dimensional brown trees on ashy sand can make for a stunning hair color mix. Try it!

18. Frosted Forest

Instagram

Have you ever seen a forest in the winter? You can see the brown of the bark peeking from underneath the snow. The wood itself is of different shades. I’m sure that is what inspired this lovely frosted ash brown hair blend. Stunning, isn’t it? The blonde tint looks like the sun’s rays. Perfect!

19. Champagne Ash Brown Balayage

Instagram

Champagne symbolizes celebration, and ash brown is a hair color that is worth celebrating! This lovely blend of dark brown and champagne blonde with ash brown hints is brilliant. It looks especially great with gold and nude makeup.

20. Pink Ash Brown

Instagram

Pastel pink is all the rage right now. Every woman wants it on her hair. If you’re like me, you don’t want bright pink. I like a subtle pink that blends well with my brown locks. This picture just spoke to me. The pink is bright, but the ash brown smokes it out.

21. Light Versus Dark

Instagram

In the battle between light and dark, hair colors always win. Look at this hair color blend: light and dark ash brown combine to give your hair texture and volume. The dark roots accentuate the volume even more and make your face appear slender and long. The light locks add a lovely contrast and soften your face while focusing on facial features.

22. Snow Glazed Ash Brown

Instagram

An ash brown look accentuated with platinum blonde highlights is perfect for the winter. Platinum blonde highlights make the brunette color shine and add texture to the look. The light brown tresses give the look a warmth that would work well in winter.

23. Ash Tones

Instagram

Ash tones are the only acceptable fade out tones. They add drama to your hair with their smoked look. They appear faded out but highlight your natural hair color. If there’s a hair color you want to try that is too bright, add some ash to it, and you will love the smokey color result.

24. Deep Ash Brown

Instagram

Ash brown hair is not a dull color. It looks intriguing and works well to accentuate other colors like the ginger brown you see here. Stunning!

25. Blonde Balayage

Instagram

For a brunette, transitioning to blonde hair is a big risk. You have to bleach your hair, which, in turn, damages it. Bleaching hair at the roots can really damage your follicles. Many women have experienced hair loss because of it. Here is an alternative: Instead of going completely blonde, opt for a blonde ombre done with the balayage technique. This spares your roots from getting damaged. Instead of bleaching your roots, just add some ash to fade the brown out.

26. Smokey Dimensions

Instagram

Adding ash blonde highlights to brown hair can really up the scales in your favor. Not only are you showcasing your tresses, but you are also adding dimension to your hair, which helps in framing your face. The dueling hair colors accentuate your skin tone and eye color.

27. Glossy Ash Brown

Instagram

Ash brown hair is mysterious without being overbearing. It’s like that popular girl in school who’s friends with everyone, has the top grades, can do no wrong, and has her whole future planned out. You hate her for what she accomplishes, but love her for who she is. Ash brown hair is deep and dimensional, and it makes your hair look thick and lush. The best part about it is that it allows your hair to take on more shine when you apply oil or foam to it, leaving you with glossy locks.

28. Light Ash Brown Hair

Instagram

If you have light brown hair and want to get in on the pastel action that’s been storming the world, try this hair look. Add some ash to your light brown locks to give it a warm smokey look. This faux pastel look gives off a rose brown vibe.

29. Mousy Brown Balayage

Instagram

Grease, The Duff, She’s All That, Clueless, Miss Congeniality, Princess Diaries…the list of movies featuring makeovers goes on and on. It’s true, women love a good makeover. A makeover with this intense ash brown balayage might be all you need to turn into a new you.

30. Silver Ash Brown Hair

Instagram

Silver hair is one of the chicest hair colors. It is metallic and cool-toned while also being super glossy. Opt for a silver ash brown color if you want to keep up with the trend. The brown shadow root adds some gorgeous depth and dimension to this look.

Ash brown is truly a versatile color, bringing the bookworms, the mean girls, and the elite together. What did you think of this list of ash brown hair colors? Comment below and let me know your pick!
