80th of Autumn, 518 AV. Afternoon.
To the esteemed members of the Dawn Tower,
My name is Savis Maren and I am a Nuit mage allowed to stay in the city by the Constellations. In my research, I've come across a discipline that's capable of reinforcing the protection that Glyphing creates. I am a practitioner of Animation among other disciplines, and find that deeper pursuit in this discipline might create instability and problems without taking the proper measures needed.
Upon further investigation, I've learned that Shielding is a discipline taught in the Dawn Tower. I'd quite like to study the discipline independently until the day comes that I'm allowed to study under the esteemed practitioners of your Tower. Would it be acceptable for me to gain access to your Tower's section of the Bharani Library? The research and study of Shielding is, in my opinion, essential to the advancement of my other studies, including Glyphing, as having access to personal magic would allow me to dig deeper into my understanding of how Glyphing can interact with the magicks as a whole.
It's my ambition to advance within Lhavit as a mage, and possibly come to earn the position of an instructor. I hope this letter reaches the Dawn Tower safely and that your consideration results in good news.
Your ally,
Savis Maren.
The Nuit completed her letter with a flourish, packaging it in a thin envelope before she moved forward. She advanced directly to Dawn Tower, advancing up the Tenten Peak before entering a lavish tower which prickled at the Nuit's senses with each step she took inside of it. The Aurist felt a connection wax within her, for djed was heavy in the air. The Nuit couldn't see any anomalies, but allowed herself to manifest her djed. She willed it to rise into her gaze, silver orbs suffused with djed as the Sight flickered to life. Within the Dawn Tower, djed was everywhere. It clung to the structures, waxing and waning as if breath was suffused into the very essence of the place. Savis felt a tinge, such a powerful aura laden with the personal djed of many mages creating a sensation of pain that was utterly foreign to her. Savis allowed the Sight to wither away, and a sensation settled on her tongue, as well.
Is the djed so strong here that Auristics is picking up on it even without actively manipulating the Sight? How incredible, she mused as she made her way to the reception desk and encountered a beautiful, white-haired young man. Artin Seder looked at Savis Maren with a cold, indecipherable expression, sizing her up before he spotted the letter neatly folded and stored in Savis' left hand.
"A request, hm? Give me that," he said, snapping his fingers irritably. Savis held her tongue, and instead obeyed the instruction and extending the letter to Artin. Once he took it, he opened the letter, which Savis purposely left unsealed. Ripping open envelopes that contained letters meant to be read at least twice seemed rather... unnecessary.
"Access to our section of the library? An Animator, hm? How come I've never heard of you..." he began, looking down at the letter before looking back up to the Nuit. "Savis, hm?"
"I keep to myself. I've come across references to protective magic in my studies of Glyphing and heard from the rumour mill that the Dawn Tower knows quite a lot about it," she said, her silver eyes meeting Artin's. The young man seemed to want to frighten her, but Savis Maren wasn't so weak-willed as to shake in her boots at the tongue of a boy, hardly even a man.
"Ah, I see. Well, best be on your way. We'll contact you in a day or so."
The Nuit nodded, leaving her information with Artin so that the Tower's answer would reach its proper destination. Satisfied with her effort, Savis made her way home. She had other matters to concern herself with in the mean time, such as orchestrating the repairs of her ruined automaton, Sil.
