Some time after their training began, Austyn and her twelve fellow Techeun coven sisters were brought to the Dreaming City to live and practice their abilities within a building that was a nexus of several Ley Lines. The ongoing war against the Taken curse corrupting the city frequently disrupted their training. During one session, Austyn watched as Ylaia struggled to interact with the Ley Lines, being the only one amongst the thirteen unable to do so. She warned Ylaia that the lines would shift soon, but her fellow student's concentration was broken by a nearby explosion that shook the building. As Ylaia threw her focusing crystal across the room and expressed her frustration with living in a war zone, Austyn began noting that if she could not connect with the Ley Lines at a powerful crossroads she might not be able to at all, but her coven sister cut her off in anger and vowed to try again. The Queen's Wrath Petra Venj then arrived and began advising them on her own struggles she had faced during her own brief time training as a Techeun.

After Austyn and her coven sisters underwent augment surgery to enhance their abilities and advance to the rank of Adept, Austyn began using her powers to enter a state of symbiosis with the Ascendant Plane to see into the dreams of the other Techeuns and Petra, learning many secrets from them and gaining the knowledge that they were meant to help guide Queen Mara Sov safely back to the Dreaming City. During her mental explorations of the Plane she discovered a obscured region of power with a presence reaching out from inside that she suspected was where Mara had hidden herself. One night, as the rest of her coven slept around her, Austyn resolved to make contact with the presence. However, instead of finding Mara, Austyn's consciousness was pulled into a nightmare region of war where she witnessed Xivu Arath, God of War on a terrace next to two empty thrones. Austyn was awoken from her meditation by Petra's worried voice and came to drenched in sweat and heat. The Queen's Wrath questioned if she was alright, but Austyn knew that she would not be allowed to help bring the Queen back if the others knew what she had done. Austyn lied to Petra and reassured her she had only suffered a nightmare and thanked her for waking her up.

Personality and Traits

Despite only training for a short time as a Techeun, Austyn's ability to interact with the Ascendant Plane and Ley Lines developed quickly. She was able to shift through the thoughts of her coven sisters as they slept, and even gleamed secrets from the mind and dreams of Petra Venj without the experienced warrior's knowledge. However, Austyn's skill made her overconfident and she attempted to seek out Mara Sov through the Ascendant realm by herself after feeling something reaching out, which allowed Xivu Arath to mark and track her through the realm.
