I'm Not Gonna Sugarcoat It

If it hadn’t been for the mage-Templar war, Lyric probably wouldn’t have been at all prepared for what they were now facing. Growing up in the Circle she hadn’t exactly taken to offensive magic at all, but there were times during the war, well, difficult times led to difficult measures and decisions. She found herself grinning at his comment about not having mentioned ice magic, despite the fact that they were currently fighting darkspawn.

Well, can’t reveal everything all at once, girl’s gotta have her secrets. She said as she grinned and stuck out her tongue slightly, momentarily forgetting they were facing darkspawn. Ice was probably the only elemental she was good at, beyond the basic fireballs, the elementals had always been an area of magic she’d wanted to get better at but never seemed to get around to it.

She paused momentarily when Tiberius got hit, but he seemed to be handling it, so she continued her offensive, launching another barrage of ice shards at the darkspawn. The spell was tiring, but she was far from spent. She followed Tiberius to the home, she figured some inside might need healing magic.

If you’ve got that, I’ll see if they can use some help inside. Also not really hearing what people were saying inside, and not considering at the moment to use her mind magic to hear what they were thinking, because she was too distracted by everything that was going on. She was about to enter the home when a scream rang out that shook her to her core.

The barn had been concealing another threat, a hulking ogre, its skin seared red from the fire. Its roar sent a shiver down Lyric's spine, the sound echoing sharply in the quiet that followed the chaos. The creature charged, and Lyric's heart pounded in her chest as she readied herself for the next challenge.

In a split second, she called upon her magic once more, this time conjuring a barrier of shimmering energy around Tiberius as the ogre lunged towards him. Her mind raced, trying to figure out the best way to take down the massive beast without putting them in further danger. It was far too large for her ice to be of any good, but if it swung at Tiberius, she wanted him to be protected, this way he could focus on offensive magic, while she focused on what she did best, defensive magic.
