Event Log: The Hope of a Child

[hadrielmods]

Who: All characters participating in the event
What: The event log for the The Hope of a Child event
Where: All over the city!
When: January 23rd-Feb 1st
Warnings: Youths

By now, the gods have probably done enough weird crap to you while you're asleep for you to be a little suspicious- but it's not like you can just not sleep, especially when there are a few supernatural forces making your eyes droopy and your body feel heavy.

And now, when you fall asleep, you'll wake up somewhere else and you'll likely have quite a different temperament- you'll be younger, maybe a little more naive and innocent, and you won't exactly remember all the wild stuff that's happened to your adult self. Maybe now you'll be a little more trusting and emotional, hm? The gods could definitely use a little boost in power, and what better way to do it than to harness the power of overemotional kiddos!

Or maybe you aren't affected at all and find yourself surrounded by youths. What are you going to do when your best friend doesn't know how to cook for themselves? Or your bitter rival is throwing a temper tantrum because they broke their favorite toy? Nobody asked for this kind of responsibility, but think about what would happen if nobody was around to take care of these babies...

"The Lord of the Waters?" This was starting to sound like a book or something. "Do you think you could show me? Waves sound like fun." There wasn't a lot of fun to do here, he had to make his own.

"I can try." Maglor eyes the pools thoughtfully. "These are not my waters though. They don't know me. And pools don't tend to do waves much. But... "

He considers thoughtfully and then brings out his harp and begins to play, a ripple of sound like sunlight on the water, calling, yearning, looking back into the deep waters of memory. To the harp, he adds his voice, singing in his own tongue of the memory of the sun's first rising, glorious and golden, unexpected and wildly welcome.

And the little pool answers with light.

Faint, at first, then brighter, and brighter, until the water blazes as if the twin suns overhead were setting into the waters.

"Woah." Okay that was something he had never seen before. At all. That was like right out of the movies. "How can you not have ever tried that before? If I could do that, I'd do it like every day."

That was so cool.

Maglor, on the other hand, is pale, and he winces as he shakes out his hand.

"Mainly, because it's quite difficult, in this world."

He says tiredly.

[dreamsallotted]

Adult Seel would have agreed with you. Magic is difficult, especially if it's not exactly what your used too. The translation is hard. This human boy though? Was amazed. And a little sorry you looked so terrible

"Oh. You should probably go rest then. That was awesome."

Maglor smiles at him.

"Thank you - I will be fine. I just cannot do that too often. Calling light is probably one of the first things we all learnt."
