Charles Xavier COURT Seelie. TITLE The Whispermage. OCCUPATION N/A. ABLE TO FAST-TRAVEL N/A. RESIDENCE IN 2,701 Caer Glaem. RESIDENCE IN 2,702 Caer Glaem and his watchtower on the Cathraon Plains (and a key to a house in Maupertius, but few people know about that.)

SUMMARY At the beginning of the timeskip, Charles helped the Seelie forces at the Battle of An Càrn Dubh by recreating the image of the fallen dragon Sura and using his telepathy to spread dissent among the Unseelie ranks and dissuade people from fighting. The suffering of the people around him and the extent to which he pushed himself (while using his shard) took a large toll on him, especially when he called out to Erik Lehnsherr for help after being shot. On the one hand, it encouraged the two mutants to mend a rift they'd only skirted over, which is tied to Charles deeper issues (see: information). On the other, he started to realize that winning in the Drabwurld wasn't going to be quite like what it was back home. In the following year, Charles focused on socialising and gaining a reasonable amount of influence and power within the Seelie Court. He took on a quest from Lancelot and chased off Unseelie soldiers from the borders of Glaschu. Along with better exploring his telepathy, he was booned astral projection, and in the latter half of the year began to explore the magical potential his shard lent him (which can account for the months that aren't listed below.) By the end of the timeskip, he'll have finished construction of his watchtower on the Cathraon Plains and will be implementing his skillset to become the spymaster for Marchioness Hermione Granger. TIMELINE OF EVENTS SPRING IN 2,701 (Mar, Apr, May) MARCH - Charles helped the search and rescue missions via astral projection and later providing assistance in his physical form. APRIL - Thanks to the dream harp, he embarassingly yelled about his feelings to Erik and was grumpy for the rest of the month thanks to everyone's mind yelling EMOTIONS!!! at him. MAY - Mostly concerned about the sudden disappearance of the monarchs along with everyone else and hunting with Hermione and Snow White for golden swans. SUMMER IN 2,701 (Jun, Jul, Aug) JUN Charles will be heading along to the Treun tourney to cheer on the friends who are participating. FALL IN 2,701 (Sept, Oct, Nov) OCT - Drinking, dancing and revelry at Samhain. WINTER IN 2,701/2,702 (Dec, Jan, Feb) DEC - During Yule he was turned into a rabbit by the White Hart and spent the period being protected by Erik in Maupertius. He later returned on Christmas Day when he was given Floo powder by Hermione. SPRING IN 2,702 (Mar, Apr) These months were spent building a watchtower on the Cathraon Plains, including some brief downtime thanks to an attack by the skeletons of warriors past. Thankfully Charles turned that to his advantage.

[Far better; Charles has only been an archer for four months and for one of them it snowed constantly. It's good to have at least one person who's more proficient.

On hearing the noise, he lowers the bag of grain to the ground and unslings the bow over his shoulder. You take one side, I'll take the other. Divide and conquer had always been a good strategy, not to mention he wanted enough space between the two of them that she wasn't in his line of sight, at risk of being hit.

Charles creeps back intp the tree and brush line, readying an arrow. Soon the flap of wings gives way to several swans landing in the clearing. They soon start to make headway on the grain that he'd scattered.]

[ Hermione goes as Charles does, her paws quiet as she steps, wings curled at her side to tuck them so close that they don't make noise. Instinct guides her more than anything else, the natural state of a lioness being one that hunts, her body lurching forward as she turns.

She feels like a sheepdog, really, moving forward to snarl at the swans, leaping behind them to make them rush, squawking, at Charles himself. One large paw goes and hits one, knocking it to one side, even as there's a soft mental apology, and she rushes, pushing and flexing to urge them further and further towards Charles himself.

Looking up, she watches to see where he's focussed, where his aim is, and she leaps, crashing down and scaring the birds forward. ]

[Even though he's doing his best to flit his attention between the birds and Hermione's movements, it's both wonderful and terrifying to watch her go. When the birds are in good range, arrows start to fly.

That's great, they need the room to take off. Don't give it to them.

Between the two of them, they make fine work of the swans and only a few lucky survivors manage to escape.]
