Medieval World!

[cityship]

Medieval World was one of the largest year-round renaissance faires in the multiverse.

Minstrels and bards wandered the streets, vendors sold ridiculously overpriced period clothing, jewelry, weapons, and turkey legs as big as a human's head, and the royal court mingled with the commoners. There were events everywhere: falconers, magicians, belly dancing, hypnotists, weapons competitions including swords, axes, maces, and bows, camel rides, Washing Well Wenches, fake jousting on wooden 'horses' suspended on ropes, and real jousting.

As was typical of these sorts of events, anachronicity was everywhere, as were patrons in all sorts of fantasy costumes.

Join in the fun!

[OOC: Add things if you want, and go for it!

Also, if anyone wants to win a flower for their lady from the Wenches, contact Shae for NPCing. >:3]

Will nodded, letting out a sigh of relief as the sword stopped in mid air. She moved over to grab it, this time making sure her grip on the blade was a lot better than it had been the last time. She sunk into a fighting stance, keeping her grip on the blade as she looked up at Aqua.

"This good?"

Aqua walked closer, correcting Will's stance and adjusting the way she held her sword.

"Much better. You'll want to keep it in a defensive position to start. I've seen some who prefer to hold it in an attack position or make unsheating their sword part of their attack, but I always thought it was best if you were ready in case your opponent attacked first."

Will nodded, keeping notice of what Aqua did to change her stance. "Sounds like it makes sense to me," she said. "I mean, I'd rather attack first if I knew there was an enemy, but well... if I'm close enough to use a sword I want to make sure whatever they have isn't going through parts of my body."

"That's it exactly," Aqua said. "You already have a good attack for a first strike with your magic, and it helps you keep your distance. But if you're forced into close range, you need to make sure you can defend yourself. I might be able to teach you a barrier spell, if your magic works with it."

Will really hoped that her magic would work with the barrier spell that Aqua was mentioning. It'd definitely be pretty useful to block attacks like that after all. She had seen Aqua's in action. "So... how hard is it to do one of those barrier spells anyway?"

"Not very," Aqua answered. "One of my friends had managed to get it to at least block in front of him, after he had to be taught basically everything all over again. Another friend of mine couldn't, but he never really bothered to learn much magic beyond the basics."

Will nodded at that. "That's good to know. At least I'll definitely be able to do something with it."

After all, she had magic, and she used magic. Sure, it was different than the general idea of magic usually was, but it was still magic.
