Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 7 preview

o^-^o: Don’t close that browser! Here’s what’s coming up this week on “Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale”…

BEGIN PREVIEW

“Hail and well met, Jelan Mirana…I am Wara, High Elementalist of Thianon.” the young man smiled as the group made themselves comfortable. “What brings you three here to the highlands?”

“My companion, the Song Mage Arran, has been commanded to find the Eight Dainas by his patron goddess.” Ash explains. “She has also bade me receive a magic whistle from you.”

Wara chuckled at this. “Your request is justified, Jelan, but know that I don’t give magic instruments to just any elementalist–the elementalist must first prove to me that they are worthy of an instrument. This is to prevent elementalists not ready to attempt Song Magic from harnessing power they cannot control.”

“Fair enough.” Dawn noted.

“I have successfully harnessed Song Magic, Sir Wara.” Ash assures Wara. “I successfully sang Aurora Flash on the hill that overlooks the Sea of Beginnings to bring this creature here.” He gestures to Pikachu, who shyly waves a hello.

“Very well then–I will let you prove yourself worthy for receiving a magic whistle, if that is the instrument you wish.” Wara replies…

END PREVIEW

o^-^o: So what will Wara ask Ash to do? Find out tomorrow!

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 6: The Song of Victory

When we last left our heroes…

“We’ve tried everything we know that defeats a serpent horse in the canon….” Brock agrees.

“Maybe not…” Dawn interjects, a wry smile crossing her face.

“You mean…you’re actually going to try Song Magic?” Ash gasps.

“You can’t! Not at your skill level!” Raina protests. “You’ll tire yourself to the point of exhaustion!”

“That’s a chance I’m willing to take if it means saving my friends!” Dawn assures Raina as she stares down the serpent horse… … Continue Reading

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 4: The Legend of the Crystal Auras

February 25, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

When we last left our heroes…

As the crowd disperses and Ash and Dawn pick up what coins are scattered on the pavement, the tall woman approaches Brock. “Well told, Song Mage…I would expect nothing more from the great Arran Seluna.”

“My pleasure, Lady Sage.” Brock replies, trying all the while not to break character and go crazy over the woman’s beauty.

“Are you Raina Telmiras?” Ash asks.

“You speak the truth, Jelan Mirana…” the woman replies before addressing Brock again. “As thanks for a wonderful performance, I bid you spend some time at my house, for I know much of the quest Karmina has given you…” … Continue Reading

BEGIN PREVIEW

“But what about Loras?” Ash wondered. “Won’t she be able to learn Song Magic?”

“Has she displayed any talent for it?” Raina asked.

An awkward silence filled the room before Brock finally decided to answer the sage’s question. “No–she has not shown any talent for it that we know of.”

“She is perfectly capable of learning to use it, but she has to want to learn.” Raina replied. “This will becomes your song, and the song then manifests as magic.”

“Do I want to learn Song Magic?” Dawn scoffed at how Raina was treating her like her own mother back in the real world. “You bet I do!”

END PREVIEW

o^-^o: So will Dawn be able to learn Song Magic like her counterpart Loras? Stop by tomorrow and see!

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 3: The Story of the Sage

February 18, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

When we last left our heroes…

“So, where do we begin?” Dawn wonders.

“Travel to the town of Sundol–there you will learn of the first jewel, the ruby named Vatradaina–the Firesong.” Karmina replies. “It is a day’s journey west of here.” With that, she disappears.

Ash waves goodbye as Karmina disappears. “So, shall we?”

“Yeah!” Dawn smiles.

“Vatradaina, here we come!” Brock agrees as the three friends, Happini and Pikachu walk off into the sunset. … Continue Reading

BEGIN PREVIEW

“So this is Sundol…” Dawn notes as the group looks around at the stone and wood buildings around them.

“Doesn’t look like a place to find Vatradaina…” Ash sighs. “Just a normal old village to me.”

“And furthermore, how am I going to protect myself if my spinners fail?” Dawn asks. “You have Song Magic, Ash will eventually learn Song Magic, but what about me?”

“Remember the canon?” Brock interjects. “On the show, Loras does quite all right with just the spinners, but if you really want to learn Song Magic, the person we need to see teaches Loras how to use it in the comic.”

“Since we are simply in an illusion of Thianon, I suppose we can take a page from the comic and have me learn Song Magic…no pun intended.” Dawn replies, now in a noticably better mood.

END PREVIEW

o^-^o: So who does the gang need to see to learn more about Song Magic and Vatradaina? Stop by tomorrow and see!

Pokemon: A Mage’s Tale Episode 2: An Illusion of Heroes

February 11, 2010 by SparklingBlue Pokemon, Serials No Comments

Last time, on our previous adventure…

“You know where we are?” Brock is surprised. “What I want to know is how I managed to teleport Ash and Dawn with just my voice.”

“That is the power of Song Magic, Arran Seluna.” a soothing female voice replies. “You cast Revealing Aura with your song and brought your friends to you. Brock looks again to see who is speaking and notices an angel-like being clad in an outfit made of what looks like colored musical symbols. “I am Karmina, Goddess of Music and Song, and I have an urgent quest for you and your friends.” … Continue Reading

BEGIN PREVIEW

“So this isn’t a dream?” Brock asked the starshape Pokemon and the red and black fox Pokemon before him.

“No…although you appear to be asleep in your home world, you are actually in a state of deep meditation that can be confused for sleep.” Jirachi explained. “Once Mew put you into that state, Zoroark here created the illusion of Arran’s world for you to experience.”

“But wait a minute! Not every episode of ‘The Song Mage Chronicles’ has aired in English!” Ash protested. “Won’t we be messing up the canon on the show?”

“Like Jirachi has told you, this is merely a recreation of the world seen in the TV show–you can choose to stick to the canon or allow your flights of fancy about what has yet to come take wing.” Zoroark replied. “The choice is yours.”

END PREVIEW

O^-^O: Curious to see what happens? Stop by tomorrow and see!
