So it's been a minute since I've been on here, but I've been busy trying to figure out what to do with this martial arts school my sister wanted to start and I was helping with, as well as keeping the Great Protector happy. That's why I thought the fatigue I was feeling was more to do with me overloading myself than anything else.

But today I woke up and I'm, um, gray? And I can barely keep my eyes open and I have no idea if this has anything to do with my connection with the Great Protector, but Zumulong is quieter...smaller than she normally is and I think it might? Roz discovered that we're connected and she was connected to my sister as well, using us to sustain her here in Vallo without Ta Lo around.

With my sister gone though, I don't think I'm enough and I need some help figuring out a solution here.

Maybe she could connection with something else? Is Ta Lo essential, or is magic the essential part?

I honestly couldn't tell you, I'm really not an expert in dragons or magic. But if I could find a way to supplement what she's getting from, maybe it'll be enough to keep the strain off us?

The good news is there's no shortage of magic here, including Vallo itself.


Do you know how to channel or tap into magic?

Not really. I have this, uh, weapon that's magic? Or something. But tapping into it came instinctively, but outside of that, haven't really done anything magical on my own.

If you could channel the magic of Vallo, that might help. Or maybe it would be possible to bypass you entirely, and Zumulong could learn to draw magic from here instead of you.

I'd put money on her more than I would on me. I'd give anything a shot though, is this something you CAN learn?

Finding a magic battery is kind of outside my skill set but shit, man. This sounds rough. Do you need anything else? Food? Coffee?

[info]absofsteel

I know I just had one, but another nap would be great. But I should probably try to figure this out first.

Coffee would be great. And I need to call Lucifer, but I probably won't be making my shifts this week until this is resolved.

I will save you the call. I'll reallocate your shifts for this week and we will see how you are doing at the end of it.

As I doubt you meant to have an attack of aging, I doubt apologies are necessary. I'll Uber Eats you some alcohol. Probably some food as well.

I'll swing by with something nice and overly caffeinated.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Kind of extenuating circumstances or whatever.

Thanks, buddy. Bonus points if I can inject it directly into my veins.

Yeah, he just chimed in so it looks like it's fine.

I know it's a saying but somehow I feel like there's a place in Vallo somewhere that does that.

This is probably a stupid question, but... can you ask her what would work? Like hey this is bleeding me dry what else can we use?

Back home the general who led the Army sustained her life by drawing on the lives of others. Maybe there's a way to find a life force that will satisfy her and find a way to join it to the connection?

[info]absofsteel

I don't think she's doing it on purpose. I think it's just the only way she can sustain herself, having some kind of connection to Ta Lo. But if I get some kind of boost or if she can supplement with some other source, maybe that can offload that strain?

idk, I'm not magically inclined so I don't know if it's all bullshit, this spitballing.

[info]scrywitch

Oh no, sorry, I didn't mean to imply she was. With your sister returning home that may have left an open conduit that attached to you because it couldn't have an opening? Which is me theorizing because we have so many different kinds of magic here. Supplementing with another source might be a good solution though. It won't break your connection with her but it will share the load to return to what you're used to?

No, what you're saying sounds like it absolutely makes sense. Magic is kind of like science so if you think of you and Zumulong as a circuit, what you're saying makes absolute sense.

Sorry, I can normally read tone on here well, I'm just...tired.

But that makes sense, all of it. You explained it better than what I can anyway. Roz is going to try some things, I'm hoping that will help with it.

Honestly I'm rambling so there was a definite lack of tone and more meandering so you're good.

Roz is brilliant so you are in very good hands. Also drink a lot of water to stay hydrated and carbs. Carbs are your friends because they give you fuel.

I can ask around with the covens too to see if they know anything that might help.

Fingers crossed. I know between you and Roz, we'll find something that will work, even if temporarily.

It'll work out. There's too many people here who will want to help to leave anyone drowning.
