Many claimed that Humanity was the ruling species of the world, with the use of tools, super strength for some, flight for others, and adept control over magic for a few, humanity crawled its way to the top of the hierarchy of the food chain. As civilization and technology advanced, so too did the means of producing and wielding those tools.

Canterlot, the symbol of Humanity’s perseverance is the most populated city in all of Equestria, with the castle of Tintagel being the headquarters of the Order of the Sleeping Sun. A divine order consisting of soldiers, mages, doctors, and Maidens. The soldiers were the main army of the Order, adorned in enchanted golden armor that protected them from not only from strong opponents but also from spells that could charm or control them. Blessed equipment was also given to them in the form of weapons and tools such as spears, swords, axes, maces, and the occasional firearm. Mages were special humans that could wield magic, cast spells, and create wards. Most mages focused on being the support of their groups, casting healing spells or empowering cantrips, while other mages were on the more offensive side, casting illusions on the enemy or weakening them with spells designed to impair opponents. Doctors were the more physical form of mages, tending to wounded soldiers with potions or magical remedies. Lastly, and most importantly, were the Maidens, who were a special kind of human mage. Maidens were humans that possessed a great power of magic that could only be described as “divine”, the exact requirements for a Maiden are unknown but it is speculated that they must be “pure” in mind, body, and soul. Maidens were special because they were the ones that created the blessings and enchantments on weapons, armor, and other accessories that were designed to combat the Creatures of the Night.

The Order had teams consisting of a mix of Soldiers, mages, and doctors, it was in one such team that we find our group. In the large dining hall of Tintagel Castle, the team of Flash, Cheese, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and a baby dragon, who was currently eating gems, named Spike. They were missing their leader, Soarin, who was off on a mission. The group was engaging in small talk, conversations about each other’s wellbeing, and talk of each other’s nemesis (which were monsters that they targeted and hunted).

Practically everyone at the table had their own nemesis, Cheese’s was a wild human that went by the name of Pinkie Pie the Defiler; a necromancer that was known for ransacking graveyards and constructing armies of the dead. Applejack used to have one that went by the name of Tenderhoof, a Wendigo that fed off of negative emotions, he developed an interest in Applejack, which allowed her to kill him very easily. Fluttershy’s nemesis was an interesting case, she was charged with tending to a petrified Draconequus by performing a ritual prayer to keep him sealed. Then there was Flash’s nemesis, whom he was made fun of a lot for, was…

“A mischievous, sex-crazed furry.” Cheese stated bluntly, causing Flash to choke on his bread by his friend’s sudden use of vulgar description.

“Cheese!…you can’t…just say things…like that!” Flash snapped in between coughs, Fluttershy patted him on the back to help dislodge the pieces in his throat.

Flash’s nemesis was a Huli Jing, a relatively neutral Night Creature that was a fox spirit that could take the form of a human. This particular Huli Jing is named Sunset Shimmer, she had been known for causing trouble in towns either by small misfortunes that could be seen as harmless pranks or full-on debaucherous acts. Safe to say, a Huli Jing is usually easy to deal with once their identity is discovered, however, Flash has yet to succeed in any ground at stopping the fox spirit.

Applejack gave Cheese a friendly punch, “Come on now, Cheese. We’re in the mess hall, have some decency.” The farm girl scolded Cheese, who was sporting a smile grin.

“I’m just saying, some of us have to deal with rotting corpses and necrosis, whereas others get to deal with sexy fox girls.” Cheese joked.

Flash glared at Cheese, “For your information, a Huli Jing is no laughing matter, they’re just as dangerous as any other Night Creature.” Flash stated, desperately trying to defend himself.

Cheese raised an eyebrow, “The worst thing that Huli Jing has done is slept around and caused tensions in marriages, the worst thing Pinkie Pie, you know, the necromancer, has done is raised a graveyard of orphans which burned down a town. We are not the same.”

Flash opened his mouth to protest but couldn’t find anything to rebuke Cheese, as he knew that a necromancer was by far a more dangerous threat than his nemesis. “Okay…fair enough.” Flash sighed, hanging his head in defeat.

“In Flash’s defense,” Rarity spoke up, “he’s succeeded in driving that Huli Jing away numerous times, whereas you, “she pointed to Cheese, “haven’t even once been able to stop Pinkie.”

Cheese chuckled at that, “okay, okay, I’ll admit that I’ve pretty much only been on cleanup duty whenever I find Pinkie, but I’ll take pride knowing I’m in charge of dealing with a high-level monster all by myself.”

Before anyone could add to the conversation, the large doors to the mess hall swung open and a very messy Soarin stomped in. Parts of his body had swelled up lumps along his arms, legs, and face, but what was the most alarming, and hilarious, was the fact he had a couple of bald spots in his long hair. He grabbed himself a tray of food before walking to the table where his team was and sat down.

“Don’t ask.” He huffed, clearly indicating his foul mood.

Everyone shared a look with one another for a brief moment before they all looked to Soarin and collectively asked, “What happened?”

Soarin sighed in annoyance, realizing there was no escaping his team’s persistent pestering. He began to explain his story, “So I went to Appleloosa, to investigate a lot of livestock disappearing. Once I was there, I asked around, and gathered that all the signs had pointed to a Chupacabra; Livestock missing in the night only to be found the next day to be completely drained of blood.” Soarin’s tone turned to annoyance. “Apparently, turns out that the livestock wasn’t drained but in fact killed and then eaten by, you guessed it, werewolves.”

Cheese, Flash, and Rarity wore a knowing smirk, understanding exactly who Soarin was referring to.

“Wipe those grins off your face.” Soarin glared. “Yes, it was Rainbow Dash’s pack, and yes I did engage them, and yes…she got away.”

“Again.” Cheese added.

“For what is now…” Flash trailed off, counting his fingers mockingly, “the forty-eighth time.”

Soarin just rolled his eyes at his two teammates.

“But how did that happen?!” Rarity demanded, suddenly concerned for Soarin.

Soarin was taken aback by Rarity’s sudden concern for his wellbeing. “Oh, this?” He indicated to the puffed up parts on his body, “it’s nothing, just got knocked into a nest of black ants by Rainbow, it should go down with some ointment-“

“Not that, you feather-brain.” Rarity cut him off, walking over to Soarin she grabbed his head and pointed to his hair that had a bunch of bald spots. “This! What did she do to your hair?!”

“Oh, that,” Soarin said dryly. “Rainbow decided to use my blade to scalp parts of my hair when she knocked me out. Her way of getting back at me for exposing her pack, I guess.”

“But it’s…I don’t…why would she…!” Rarity was at a loss for words, the longer she looked at the horrible haircut Soarin received, the angrier she became.

“Welp,” Applejack stood up this time, unseating her hip knife as she walked over to Soarin, “guess we’ll have to shave you bald.”

Soarin reared back in fear, eyes wide and hands covering the top of his head to protect it, “Woah, Woah, Woah! It’s not that bad, you don’t need to scalp me!”

“Soarin darling, AJ is right.” Rarity said calmly, doing her best to avoid direct eye contact with Soarin’s hair. “It would be better if you just shaved it all. For the greater good.”

“Yeah Soarin,” Spike decided to join in on the teasing, “maybe AJ should give you a mohawk.”

Soarin paled as his teammates started listing off horrible ideas to cut his hair, but before anyone could act, the entire mess hall went silent as someone entered the room. A tall and handsome man with long blue hair, dressed in a military outfit with several badges hanging from the left side of his chest, walked in and stood at the far end of the room. Following him was nervous the wizard Sunburst, who wore a starry cloak and adjusted his circular spectacles as he walked.

”ATTENTION!" He boomed, causing everyone in the room to stand and salute the human mage. His name was Shining Armor, the general of Tintagel and protector of Canterlot. “I’d like to start by thanking all of you for returning on such short notice and I’m grateful that you’ve all returned in one piece. With that said, I’ll get straight to the point about why I summoned you all here.” He cleared his throat before beginning. “As I’m sure you’re all aware, the moon has a unique…presence over all kinds Night Creatures, and specific variations of the moon can cause specific phenomena. For example, a blood moon will cause vampires to go into a frenzy, and warlocks are known to have more magical powers during an eclipse. However, there is one variation of the moon we know very little about…the Blue Moon.”

The room remained silent, looks of confusion and concern were the main emotion everyone was feeling. Slight murmuring could be heard from each table.

“The last Blue Moon,” Shining continued, “was 1000 years ago-“

“Um, 1318 years ago, to be precise.” Sunburst corrected, receiving a frown from Shining, causing him to step back and meekly stand in the corner.

Shining turned back to face the crowd, “The last Blue Moon, was a really fucking long time ago, so long ago that we have no idea what it’ll do to the Night Creatures. All we know is that it isn’t good, which is why I’ve called you all back to Canterlot. During the Blue Moon, I need everyone on high alert to ensure that nothing happens to Canterlot. The Blue Moon will be arriving in the next three days, I’m ordering you to spend that time going out to the local settlements and bringing them into the city. Any questions?” Shining asked, and a hand shot up. “Yes, First Lieutenant Flash Sentry?”

Flash stood up and asked, “Do you have a general idea of what this moon will do Night Creatures? The last one may have been very long ago but there must be some documents or tales about it.”

Shining took a step to the side and let Sunburst step forward to answer the soldier's question. “Um…while I can’t say for certain what it will exactly do to Night Creatures, I can certainly say it will make them more aggressive and potentially more…um…” Sunburst was beet red as he tried to get his point across, which Shining spoke up.

“Horny,” he stated flatly, causing several humans to snort and giggle. Only to immediately fall silent when Shining stomped his foot, “this is no laughing matter, according to all pieces of evidence the Blue Moon was responsible for wiping out several small kingdoms. Millions died within the span of a single night, and it will happen again if you underestimate this.”

The crowd fell silent, the gravity of Shining’s words sinking in.

“Are there any more questions?” Shining asked one more time, to which a hand belonging to Cheese Sandwich shot up, “…Yes, Cheese?”

“So,” Cheese grinned from ear to ear, “would you say that Night Creatures get a bit ‘quirky’ at night?”

Shining just sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, “I’m not gonna dignify that with a response,” He looked up and scanned the crowd, “anyone else have any more questions? Actually serious questions?” No one moved or budged, “Good, then you’re all dismissed.”

As everyone went back to what they were doing, Shining walked up to Flash and grabbed him on the shoulder. “Sentry, once you’re finished eating I want you to report to my office. I have an important task for you.”

Shining Armor sat at his desk with his hands holding his chin, staring at the documents he held in his other hand, contemplating his next move. There was a knock on his door, Shining put aside the documents before saying that could enter.

“You wanted to see me, sir?” Flash Sentry asked as he entered, standing firm at the set of chairs facing Shining.

“Take a seat, Sentry.” Shining gestured to the seats, which Flash sat in. “You transferred from the Crystal Keep, is that correct?”

“Yes sir, with High Maiden Cadence’s recommendation,” Flash said.

“That’s right,” Shining said, remembering that it was his wife who had recommended the Avian. Shining grabbed the folder from his desk, which was the portfolio of Flash Sentry. Opening it up, he began reading off the information recorded on it. “First-Lieutenant Flash Sentry, 22 years old, Avian, Male, Heterosexual and Bi-romantic.” Shining raised a brow at that fact, which Flash quickly spoke up to make sense of the labeling.

“I had a relationship with a man when I was young, however, I have not and still do not possess any sexual interest in men,” Flash stated firmly, hands shuffling together as a sign of uneasiness.

“Hmm.” Shining hummed with interest as he continued to read off the list, “Proficient in hand to hand combat, polearm weaponry, swordsmanship, firearms, and even limited use of cantrips. Positions available, Protector and Support. Noticeable achievements are as follows; savior of over 200 soldiers, aided in the rebuilding of settlements and towns, hosted and lead several group therapy sessions for P.O.M.s (Prisoners Of Monsters), and the list goes on. However,” Shining sets the folder down, leaning forward he rested his arms on the desk, holding his chin on his interlocked hands, “in your entire 18 years of service, you have never killed a single Night Creature.”

Shining’s gaze was unyielding and bored right into Flash’s eyes, making his body tense up as a reflex.

“Now, that’s not to say that you haven’t done your job as a soldier,” Shining said, not removing his gaze. “You’ve protected the people, you’ve aided in repairs and recovery, you’ve also dealt with your fair share of Night Creatures. However, you’ve only gone so far as to drive them off or capture them and imprison them in Azkaban. Now, having no kills when you’re young isn’t uncommon, but you’ve gone 18 years without dealing the final blow to our sworn enemies, care to explain why that is?”

Flash didn’t respond right away, he knew that this was a test, as to what his general was testing him for he didn’t know, but nonetheless, he answered honestly. “I don’t see the need to kill them.” Flash began. “I mean…I know that there were many Night Creatures that needed to be put down, they’ve killed more innocent people than anything ever will, but still…they’re living beings just like us. I’m not opposed to killing them, but I think that capture and imprisonment should be the first thing we do, and killing them must be our last resort.”

“And what if you’re not strong enough to imprison them?” Shining asked. “Could you live with yourself knowing you failed to save the people you swore to protect?”

“No sir, that’s why I train myself to ensure that I am strong enough,” Flash answered.

Shining continued to stare at Flash in silence for a while longer, Flash no longer feeling uncomfortable from his gaze. With that, Shining Armor got up from his desk and walked to the nearby window, looking down at the barracks where he saw several soldiers training, a smile spread across his face seeing how much the soldiers had improved from the first time he had seen them. It brought the general a little solace knowing that, given what he was about to do.

“Sentry, do you know what the most dangerous type of Night Creature is?” Shining asked, still looking at the barracks.

“That would have to be any monster that could pass as a human, sure we have tests to determine whether or not they’re human but not every citizen has access to those kinds of tests,” Flash answered. “Such as Vampires, or Succubi, or even-“

“Changelings.” Shining cut Flash off, walking back to his desk he took his seat. Pulling out a drawer he grabbed an opened letter and showed it to Flash. “This is a letter from one of the Major’s at the Crystal Empire, a scouting regiment had discovered a deliverer was ordered to give us the letter.”

Flash blinked in confusion, “They sent a deliverer instead of sending it via dragon-mail?” He asked.

Dragon-mail was the best way for information to be distributed amongst kingdoms, as dragons had a spell that allowed them to send anything they burned with their fire to be sent another dragon, no matter how great the distance between the two. It made communication very efficient, allowing multiple Keeps to stay in touch with one another about any possible Night Creature sightings or information they possess that other Keeps could utilize.

“Indeed,” Shining nodded, expressing his concern, “apparently, they have been sending us numerous letters about reports of disguised changelings living as humans in neighboring settlements. This letter, “Shinning tapped the letter in his hand to indicate its importance, “reports details that there have been changelings within the ranks of the Keep. There is…evidence…that High Maiden Cadence has been replaced with a changeling.”

Flash’s eyes went wide upon hearing that, as he and Cadence were somewhat friends. He rose from his seat and slammed his hands on the desk. “We have to do something!”

“Sit down, Sentry,” Shining ordered, a hint of anger dripping from his tone. Flash sat back down and Shining let out a sigh, shutting his eyes and rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Sorry. Believe me, no one is more concerned for Cadence’s safety right now than me. While this is merely speculation, I can’t afford to rule it out. Which is why I will be leaving for the Crystal Empire today and taking some specialists with me.”

Flash realized then why Shining had given the orders to have everyone lock down the city, “Sir, I’m positive that you have nothing to worry about. The Captains here are more than qualified to keep everything running smoothly in your absence.”

“I’m not questioning their ability.” Shining corrected Flash, “My main concern is with the new Maiden. As I’m sure you’re aware, our previous Maiden, Granny Smith, passed away a few weeks ago.”

Flash nodded, remembering Granny Smith from his days as an early recruit. Those days she would always scold Applejack, that one time when she reattached Cheese’s severed arm from his run-in with a Chupacabra, and especially when she subdued Fluttershy after she got transformed into a succubus by chaos magic. It was a sad day when Granny Smith passed away in her sleep, he took some solace that she passed peacefully.

“The new Maiden is my sister, Twilight Sparkle.” Shining continued explaining, shaking Flash out from his thoughts. “She is by far the best Maiden the church has ever trained, but this whole Blue Moon situation has me worried about her safety. This is why I am placing you as her guardian while I’m away."

Flash took a minute to process the order he had just heard. “Um…why?” That was all Flash could manage to say.

Shining raised a brow, “Why? Why not?”

“It’s just that…there are specialists that would be far more qualified than me to protect someone as important as a Maiden,” Flash stated.

“Specialists are designed to handle specific Night Creatures, I don’t need a Specialist, I need a Defender, someone who I know can keep Twily-,” Shining coughed, “Twilight Sparkle safe, no matter what.” He pulled out Flash’s portfolio again, “I’ve read your file, you may have never killed a single Night Creature, but every mission you’ve gone on has always resulted in zero casualties, that’s something no one, not even any of the Dominions, have succeeded in achieving. Flash, can I trust you to keep Twilight safe, while I’m away?” Shining extended his open hand to Flash.

Flash thought about the order, protecting the Maiden would be no easy feat, but he had been told numerous times he was one of the best Defenders of all time. Plus, there was something about the way Shining spoke that made Flash want to comply with him, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, nor did he see any reason to question it. With that, Flash stood up, took Shining’s hand, and firmly shook it, indicating his agreement.

“Yes sir,” Flash said, to which Shining shot Flash a toothy grin that looked sinister for a moment before returning to its normal glow.

“Thank you, I knew you’d agree,” Shining said, walking over to his dresser where he pulled out his coat and several pieces of equipment. “You’ll find Twilight in the library, I would suggest you spend the rest of today showing her around Tintagel so she can get familiar with the Keep.” He said, removing his shirt to reveal his upper body, firm shoulders, and a strong back faced towards Flash.

“Yes sir,” Flash said, still standing in place as he found himself staring at Shining’s backside.

“Preferably now, Sentry.” Shining grinned, as he draped his protective coat over his upper body.

“Uh, yes sir.” Flash stammered, spinning around so quickly that he tripped on his own two feet before quickly recovering and making his way out the door.

Once Flash had left, Shining let out a small chuckle as he adjusted his collar in the mirror hanging from the opened dresser door, a blissful sigh escaping his lips. “Ah…Twilly is gonna have a field day with him.” Shining chuckled, his eyes flashed a deep green and purple for only a moment before returning to their normal color.

Flash Sentry walked down the halls heading towards the Library, rubbing the side of his head to ease the pressure his mind felt after leaving Shining’s office. His thoughts wandered to what Twilight Sparkle would look like, he then realized he hadn’t received an appropriate description of Twilight from Shining as his mind had been occupied with…other things. He shook away those thoughts and focused on the task at hand. Assuming that she was Shining’s sister, that meant she was probably a mage, but as to what she looked like he was still unsure. He remembered hearing rumors about how Shining looked nearly identical to his father, which meant that Twilight may have some similarities to him.

Flash eventually came to the large metal doors, where two Sentinels were positioned. The Sentinel’s were large, bulky, fully encased armor that had runes and wards engraved on the inside of their plate metal to make them move and act. They were nine feet tall, with their hands big enough to cover Flash’s entire head, large shoulder plates, and knee plates to reinforce the joints. While the Sentinels were basically walking tanks, they had a battery of magic that didn’t last long without a recharge and they were slow. But their unbridled power more than made up for their sluggish speed, if you got caught by a Sentinel it was safe to say that you would not be surviving. Flash stood calmly and patiently as the two Sentinel’s inspected him with their hollow eyes, a heavy hum thrummed from their helmets, signaling that Flash was still human and clear to enter.

Flash entered the library, the entire tower connected to the Keep was in the shape of a circle with five floors, two above him and two below him. The center of all floors was empty space, making all five of the floors more like rings than circles. Dangling from the roof of the entire building was a large contraption that consisted of several mirrors and crystals, from which light from the outside shined in and was reflected across carefully placed mirrors around the rooms, illuminating the entire building nicely. Lanterns were strictly forbidden in the library, as even so much as a single spark could set the whole building ablaze, and thousands of years worth of human knowledge and stories would be lost. He made his way other to the center of the room, marveling at the illuminating machinery.

As he walked, he was so busy in his thoughts that he didn’t notice the young woman who also wasn’t looking where she was going and slammed into him, knocking her down.

“Oh!” Flash exclaimed loudly before quickly lowering his voice as he remembered where he was. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t…see you…there.” Flash trailed off as his eyes gazed at who he thought was the most beautiful woman in all of existence.

Before him, was a young woman with gorgeous purple hair that draped past her shoulders, bangs covering her forehead. Her body was a gorgeous hourglass figure, with alluring hips, and legs that any woman would kill to have. She wore something similar to what steampunks wore, which was a long black skirt that stopped just shy of her knees and a tight, deep red, turtle neck shirt with a black waistcoat worn over it, that made her bosom appear perky. But what had Flash mesmerized and standing there slack-jawed were eyes, a beautiful shade of deep and dark violet that somehow shined and captivated any who stared into them.

“No, no, it was my fault.” The woman said calmly, beginning to help herself back up.

The woman’s voice was enough to snap Flash out of his trance, he instantly rushed to help her to her feet. “I’m sorry again, I wasn’t looking where I was going.”

The woman chuckled as Flash was stumbling on his apology. “Let me guess, you were distracted by the astrolabe too huh?” She said, looking back to the large device hanging from the ceiling.

“Yeah,” Flash admitted, more focused on the woman before him than the marvel of science and technology.

The woman looked back to Flash, extending a hand, “Name’s Twilight Sparkle, I’m the new Maiden here at Tintagel, a pleasure to meet ya.”

Shining Armor’s orders suddenly appeared in Flash’s mind, making him quickly act. “What are the odds, my name is Flash Sentry. You’re just the woman I’ve been looking for.”

Flash explained the situation to the young mage, about how Shining had left for the Crystal Empire, leaving out the details of a supposed Changeling attack, and how he was to be protecting Twilight for the time being.

“So, you’re the best Defender the Sleeping Son has to offer?” Twilight cocked an eyebrow, crossing her arms and smirking as she sized the avian up.

“I wouldn’t go so far as to say, ‘I’m the best in all of the Sleeping Sun’.” Flash chuckled while rubbing the back of his head, memories of his sparing matches between him and Timber Spruce came to mind. Only to be pushed away when they involved that Dominion. “But I can absolutely say that your safety is all but assured with me, your grace.” Flash was about to take a knee, only for Twilight to stop him.

“Since you’re going to be protecting me, I’d prefer it if you didn’t refer to me as ‘your grace’.” Twilight sighed, this time she was the one to help Flash back up to his feet. “Also, no bowing, I’m not a big fan of it. Just call me Twilight, I may be a Maiden but that doesn’t mean you have to treat me like a goddess.”

’ But you are a Goddess.’ Flash shook his head to concentrate. “As you wish then, Twilight. Is there anywhere you would like to see first?”

Hearing that, Twilight beamed, “Oh yes! Don’t get me wrong, I’d love nothing more than spend all night in this library, but I’ve been stuck in here all morning and everything I’ve looked at I’ve already read. Just give me one moment, “ Twilight paused, turning away from Flash she called out to someone, “Starlight, can you come here please?” Moments later, a young woman with multicolored hair of purple and teal ran up to Twilight, a purse hanging from her shoulder.

“Yes, mistres-i mean, Twilight?” The mage now known as Starlight asked.

“I just need my purse, you can spend the rest of the day as you wish while Mr. Sentry here takes me on a tour,” Twilight said, Starlight handing her the purse. “Perhaps you can spend some time to get to know that Magus…Sunburst I think his name was.”

Starlight looked at Twilight questionably for a moment before realizing what she meant, “Oh, yes…yeah I could do that, we were having a chat before you called me over.” With that, Starlight walked back to where she had come from.

Twilight then reached into her purse, having it perfectly organized she was able to locate her object of interest with ease. Pulling out a folded piece of paper of the locations she was interested in touring, “Now then, Mr. Sentry-“

“It’s Flash.” Flash corrected the mage. “If you want me to call you Twilight, then it seems only fair that you should have to call me Flash.”

Twilight shot Flash a small grin. “Alright then, Flash, here’s where I want you to take me first.”

Humans

Humans come in three variations, each distinguishable by a form of neutral magic that their race possesses. These three variations are known as Terran, Avian, and Mage.

Mages are a form of human that has a strong tie to etherial magic, being able to cast spells and cantrips with ease. When a more complex spell is cast by a mage, in this case a spell that requires a large amount of magic, then their horns will appear. Mages horns have different appearances, sometimes they have one or two (the number of horns does not change the amount of magic a mage can channel). These horns can appear as straight, curved, hooked, or even branched like antlers.

Avians are a form of human that has a tie to sky magic, allowing them to have wings appear giving them flight (wings vary depending on a persons manifestation, they can appear as feathered, bat-like wings, and even scaled). Avians are also able to control elements of the sky, this includes weather and the atmosphere. An example in this case is that Avians can channel magic to give clouds physical shape, allowing them to be used as a means of structure.

Terrans are a form of human that have a very strong tie to natural magic, along with super strength. Terrans have a tie to the world, allowing them a unique (yet limited) communication/control with both fauna and flora. Along with that, Terran magic is most commonly used in the creation of mixes, herbs, foods, and various other consumable products.
