Avatar Wars: Mystra's spiritby ~Johndowson

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Mystra's spirit.
After the Fall of the God, the Goddes of Magic is imprisoned by Lord Bane before she had the possibility to reach her designated avatar, Caitlan Moonsong. For this reason she has to assume the form of an incorporeal ghost of pure magic.

"...Suddenly the pantheon seemed to vanish and the gods, still bound together, found themselves staring full into the face of what frightened each the most — chaos, pain, love, life, ignorance. And each god saw his or her own destruction there, as well.
"That was but a taste of my anger. Now drink deep from the goblet of a true god's rage!"
A sound was heard then unlike any other.
The gods screamed.
Mystra struggled to retain some vestige of control as she found herself plummeting through a fantastic vortex that defied reality. She suffered unbearable pain as godhood was ripped from her. But the Goddess of Magic was not alone in her torments. All the gods, save Helm, were cast from the heavens.
After a time, Mystra awoke in the Realms. She was startled to find that her form had been reduced to its primal essence. Her body was little more than a glowing mass of blue-white light.
"You will take an avatar." Ao's voice resounded in her mind. "You will possess the body of a mortal and live as a human. Then perhaps you will appreciate what you once took for granted."
Then she was alone.
The fallen goddess hovered for a moment as Lord Ao's words turned over and over in her mind. If she had to take an avatar, possess a body of flesh and blood, then Ao really did intend on keeping the gods out of the Planes. Though Mystra had suspected Ao would punish his servants for their failings — and she had even planned for the event by secreting a shard of her power in the Realms — the goddess simply couldn't comprehend the loss of her status, the loss of her beautiful palace in the heavens...

Have you read the books?

~Johndowson Aug 2, 2010

Yes

The first three at least.

~orphen5555 Aug 2, 2010

Any good?

~Johndowson Aug 6, 2010

Meeh, I don't think they are so special in the way they are written. The plot is nice anyway.
I still think they would make a better videogame.
If you ask to me, the 3rd one is the best.
