A thing about void magic is that the more you use it the more it drains from the user. Ciel had been very adamant about beating that into Finvir’s head when he got void magic. Ciel said that he has seen outsiders who have become husks of their former selves. Their hair becomes darker and their eyes lose their light. Then their personality, then memories.
Luckily however Finvir is only at the eye and hair phase right now. The doctor at the outsider base in Ackermouth said he had a long time before it got to the husk phase. His amber eyes became dark brown and his brown hair became black.
Finvir had spent all of his life in Ackermouth. Most of the country was a frozen wasteland. Well except for the southern part of the country, something about Anluz is that the further north you go the colder it gets, and the more south you go the hotter it goes.
The point is that Finvir is used to the cold so the change in climate will take some time to get used to. Now you might be wondering why Finvir decided to go to Windshire out of every country, well there are two reasons. One reason is that windshire is home to the wood elves and another reason is that it was the cheapest boat ticket.
The boat was going to a small port town on the northern side of windshire named Reisui (rei-she). The ride was uneventful, to say the least Finvir spent most of the trip reading books and sleeping. The trip itself took 2 weeks. He was wearing a a long, hooded coat and leather armor that covers his torso, arms and legs, he has a black vest with a white shirt that gleams under the coat. The hood was pulled down and his mask was attached to his hip along with a utility belt adorned with pouches. He also has black pants and boots. The sound of the metal mask hitting his hip as he walked.
When he finally got to Reisui to say he had culture shock would be an understatement. There were new smells and sounds everywhere, and it wasn't freezing cold. Reisui was a medium-sized town, The buildings were made of wood and had sliding doors, Finvir ended up on the main street. It was made of dirt.

I was walking through town when suddenly I felt my stomach rumble. I checked my bag and found 25 golden coins with the symbol of a crown on them. I would have to transfer them into the coins of Windshire, Petals are what they are called. In order for me to get some money that is useful to me, I would have to find a tavern.
I eventually found a tavern. Only took a few hours. I thought I found one but it turned out to be a tea shop, wood elves love tea a lot apparently. I entered and heard the sound of music, eating, and talking. A wood elf bard was playing some song in the corner. I ignored them and walked up to the bartender.
The bartender was an argonian with two large horns going upwards. His scales were a red color with a pink tint to them. "Good evening sir, what would you like?"
" I would like for my coins to be transferred into petals please" I handed him my bag, saw him count the coins, and then put it away before giving me a new bag. Opening it I found 25 pink coins with a tree engraved on them.
"Anything else sir?" The argonian asked.
I responded," how much for a room?" I said in my usual monotone voice
" Well usually it would be 10 petals a night, but for a traveler such as yourself, I will lower it to just 5." The way he spoke showed he was proud of his bar
" I will take it." Was my response as I gave him the 5 petals.
" 4th door on the right." The bartender said
"Send me room service" I nodded and went up to my room.
The room was small. A single window, a twin-sized bed with brown blankets, a small table sat next to the bed, a chair, and a lamp on top of the table. I sat down at the table and sat the small sack on it. I detached the mask and sat it on the table. I pulled my jacket off and put it on the back of the chair, reviling my black vest and white undershirt. Just as I was getting comfortable, I heard a knock at my door.
“Come in,” I said
There was the sound of the door opening and in came a short wood elf girl with long blonde hair and green eyes, she looked no older than 16.
“ Hello, sir m.m..y nam..e is Dot…n.a Rosedale, and..d I will be your server.” she wore a blue dress and looked nervous. “ Is there anything you need?”
I looked over at her and said “ Just some bread and water, I will pay tomorrow”
Dotna nodded and closed the door, then a few minutes later she came back with a flagon full of water and a loaf of bread on a tray. I nodded to her and she smiled and then closed the door. Now what to do from here? I ate and by the time I was finished the sun was starting to set. I was about to go to sleep when I heard screaming, high pitch screaming like a little girl. ‘Wait DOTNA’ I mentally screamed and rushed out of my room.
