strange tides are rising and rising
There is a sense of chaos that surrounds Novus. Someone has been captured and their intentions unknown to the rest of those that live here. The individual is clearly alien in appearance. While she looks mostly equine, she is green in color, the green of aloe. Her body is covered in small specs of light that that the ability to move around her body, congregating in one place to produce a large glow. When spaced out, it looks like her body flickers with the glow of starlight. She has three sets of eyes, one where normal equine eyes would be set, one set on her forehead, and one set behind her ears. It gives her 360-degree vision. Her body is covered in a slick goo, not fur that one would expect. Her feet do not contain hooves, but it appears she walks on air as her poly-dactyl feet (that resemble that of a primate) never truly touch the ground. She has no mane, no tail, and no gender. Her language is incomprehensible, a dialect that no one has ever heard of before. Her appearance is so strange and shocking that it has caused quite a bit of discussion about where she has come from and what she plans to do here on Novus.
Torstein was one of the few who came across this unidentifiable creature. He, with the help of a few others, has managed to capture her and place her in a holding cell. As the others look on, Torstein will gather with the others to determine what needs to be done about this strange looking creature.
And during their conference, something spectacular will happen. At first it starts off as a soft tingle, a feeling almost as though one has been sleeping on a body part too long. But the tingling leads to a warm feeling and Torstein will instinctively know that something is different about what he is feeling. Magic will enter his body through his exposed heart, the heart pumping it throughout his body and making him more aware that something new is happening.
And when the magic has settled within him, there will be this pressing need to interrogate the alien creature. He might not be able to explain just why he needs to speak to her himself, but he will know that he cannot do anything else until he has. It’s almost as if this need builds within him much like the pressing need to eat, sleep, defecate.
This pressing need with bring him to the creature and when his triennial eye meets the eyes of the alien, he will know why he must speak to her. His magic will grow infinitely stronger as he will begin to interpret just why this mare is here. He will be able to see that she is nothing but a scout but she is not innocent. Her people are planning a move to a place with more resources. She has been tasked to scout Novus to see if there are plenty of resources to support her fellow aliens. And what Torstein will learn is that her people plan to eliminate all other forms of life when they arrive. Torstein will have the ability to take care of the thread himself, or warn the citizens of Novus to prepare for war.
The choice is his and his alone.

It would seem that it wasn't only the gods who decided to descend onto the mortal land of Novus. More and more strange things are happening in the world-- beasts, broken magic and waves that seem to follow no rules of the tides. But the strangest thing seems to be one single mare who has been caught and trapped inside the caves. Perhaps she's a god... or maybe she's something else?
Will @Torstein discover the truth?
