Omal: Two Years After the Entombment
Overview
Two years after the entombment, Fairel unexpectedly manifests blue‑white magic from the Hirun River, transforming her cane into a conjured bow and arrows. A legendary rochelya emerges and follows fleeing frogs toward Essam. The event hints at unstable, resurgent magic and the return of ancient creatures, foreshadowing new threats.
Summary
On the banks of the Hirun River in Omal, Fairel dreads school and daydreams about helping at the shop and shooting arrows. Her quiet afternoon is shattered when frogs erupt from the river in panic and pale blue light ripples across the water, splashing her hand.
The blue glow sinks into Fairel’s skin, spreading up her arm as dizziness washes over her. In the river’s reflection, her eyes swirl blue and white. Her cane twists and becomes a gleaming bow, with two arrows appearing in her lap, confirming she has somehow channeled magic.
A massive, blue‑and‑white scaled rochelya—like those depicted with Kapastra—hauls itself from the river. Remembering its deadly venom, Fairel tracks the creature with her new bow but holds her shot as it slithers up the bank, pursuing the terrified frogs.
Fairel watches as the rochelya continues inland toward Essam. When the danger passes, she lowers the bow, stunned by the spontaneous manifestation of weapon and power. Realizing no one will believe what she has seen, Fairel is left with the implication that ancient beasts and volatile magic are returning.
