Tiara's breath... where am I now?

In my experience, things from different realities doesn't tend to be good things. Being in a place such as this... I'm not sure how to feel about that.

The people I have met so far are no worse than where I come from but I am looking for a way home myself.

That's certainly a relief. You have any clue on how to get back?

No. Retracing my steps has not helped.

Then we ought to consider other options. Perhaps a portal of some kind? A Tear in the Veil?

It seems likely that we both came through something like to get here but I have no idea how to find one.

As a mage I can "sense" magic. Something such as that should have a very strong aura.

Really. [Aya looked hopeful for the first time.] That would be extremely useful. Can I help?

Hmmm... a potion of Ara might help. That said, I'm not sure where one would find something like that around these parts.

What id Ara?

It's a blue liquid, shimming with magic.

That would certainly stand out. I have seen nothing like it yet but I will be watchful.

It's a rare resource, even in my own world. Not for ingestion, but a basis for many alchemical concoctions and spells. If I use it correctly I might be able to empower my "sense".

"I will look for it. If I find it, how do I find you again?"

"The name's Revan. As for where you'd find me? I do not know. Back home Mulandir or Graykeep would have been a good option. Now... I do not know."

Aya wonders absently if cell phones would even work in this place.

"Is there a magical means of keeping track of one another?"

"There are... ways. But it requires certain preparations."

"What kind of preparations?"

"Arcane ash, ink, Ara, blood and a rune forge. neither which I've ready access to."

"So, more things that we do not know how to find. I will keep an eye out and hope to see you again."
