Karigan approached the grand entrance to the ballroom from a walkway
that wound through the rose gardens of the east courtyard. The cloying
scent of red and pink blossoms almost overpowered the still night.
Luminiers flickered along the walkway with a festive radiance that might
have put her in a celebratory mood if not for the choking collar of her
Green Rider uniform. Once again, Captain Mapstone had seen her into the
formal uniform, this time with the addition of a gold sash about her waist.

Game Received: Auriga's Chariot Race game, Day 369, late afternoon
Team Played With: Emerald
Memory Form: a golden laurel crown. Wear it to receive your skill! Usable only once, obviously, but you can keep it as an accessory.

The Rider's Call is what calls a prospective messenger to the Green Riders. It is a magical calling and usually felt or heard as hoofbeats. It can push a Rider to travel across an entire continent in any weather to take their place amongst the Riders.

Karigan is a pretty rare exception. :')

She resisted the call for a year or more, refusing to join the Riders immediately. Even she could not resist it entirely, and she kept her Rider's brooch with her even though she ignored the call. Eventually she gave into it after it drove her out of bed on a breakneck ride to the capital leaving her two towns over one morning in her nightgown.

For the time being, this reawakens Karigan's abilities in magic. They are minimal abilities except when augmented by her Rider's brooch. She has actually been wearing it since she arrived in Aather, but she could not see it for what it was: a winged horse cast in gold. The brooch identifies Riders to each other -- Riders being the only ones who can see them clearly.

However, given Aather's multiverse nature, if you would like to have your magic user sense the presence of the brooch and be able to see the wavery and indistinct form of the brooch, you are welcome to.

As it says on the tin. She can ride a horse really well. She feels almost as natural on a horse as she does walking.

She'll have a saddle, bridle, and other tack for riding in her room. No horse though. :T

Game Received: Hades' feeling share game, Day 361, midday through afternoon
Team Played With: n/a
Memory Form: GOLDEN RINGS put them on to view your memory, 8 shares.



They galloped through the night, The Horse's hooves echoing dully on the
road. The gray world passed as a blur, and Karigan relied on The Horse to
find the way. Holding onto his mane and keeping her seat was all she
could manage under the weight of invisibility. When the night changed to
a lighter shade of gray, The Horse slowed to a walk and halted.

Karigan received her answer later that afternoon. The day dragged along
until The Horse froze in his tracks, his ears laid flat. He sidestepped
nervously and patches of sweat darkened his neck and flanks. Torne
hauled on the reins as if he could forcibly drag The Horse down the road.
When The Horse stayed anchored to his spot, Torne cursed and threatened
him.
