"Okay then tell us." @Ookla the Myopic Quote I'm getting a bunch of kids eager for a story vibe here Forest of Tal'rin "Alright then." Emma settles down on the grass, her sword falling to mist and she gestures for the others to do the same. "My story begins with my birth I suppose. I was born in a cabin in the woods on the world Kurin. I wasn't the only one, Wizard and I are twins. Born on the same day, a day of prophecy, the sun was eclipsed by all our ten moons at once. I was told that darkness reigned as soon as I was born. That the sky darkened and all the moons covered the sun. Then Wizard was born ten minutes later and light returned to the sky." She shrugs, "all I know is that I was born with a connection to the Kaos, a anomaly. Wizard was more normal, born with a connection to the cat god of light he always loved cats. Often times he would go into the woods and a whole pack of Jaguars would follow him home." She laughs, "it was a hectic time. Though I have mostly good memories of times with Wizard. Times where the darkness receeded and neither of us felt pushed one way or the other. Wizard though, he never really minded being pushed towards the light. Eventually I became friends with Layra and Calano, two normal children of our parent's scientist partners." A dreamy look enters her face, "we thought we had it all. I had the best friend ever in Layra. Calano was a really good friend to Wizard and kind to me when I was nervous around him." Sorrow re-enters her expression, "it was perfect until the darkness called to me. I couldn't resist, I didn't even know how! I eventually came to after having tried to walk outside into the darkness. From there it just got worse. My parents began researching anything they could find to help me contain my powers and dillute my connection to the Kaos." A bitter laugh escapes Emma, "but they could only find one dark ritual. It would strip away a part of my connection and seal it in an object. The catch was that they had to be very close to me, otherwise it wouldn't work. So I snuck away with Layra before my mom could try it and only get herself killed. I knew that the only way it would work was with Layra. So we reached the cave where I was constantly being pulled. For we had to enter a place of ancient power. My power began to manistest more and the mass of bones in the cave began to reanimate." A choked sob reaches her throat and tears begin to silently slide down her cheeks. "Layra forced me to start the ritual and when it was done. I was back in my bed, the last memory of Layra pleading with me to do it slowly fading from my brain. It was the same everywhere. Everyone forgot that Layra had ever existed. And the undead ravaged the town, nearly unkillable, but not the kind that convert others. I was the one who caused the Scourge of Kurin. The Scourge that forced our parents to put me, Calano, and Wizard in the clinic, a universe that they had created for us to be safe. Until I found the Nethergrim and became the Speakk, but that's for another time." @InfiniteInsanity @Ookla the Ta'veren @Ookla the Pencil Taxi @Ookla the Floofy On 12/13/2022 at 0:36 PM, Ookla the platypus said: ????

It's just easiest to teach basic combat skills with a sword. But yes if you want you can manifest it as something else. Though it takes more skill and practice to change the shape and form more than one. It's the way that the power likes to coalesce. Like this!" Emma dismisses her sword and summons a dagger, which splits into two, then to four and very quickly into a thousand magical daggers. "However it took me centuries of practice to summon a thousand.

Well, you'll have to constantly be making more and focusing on them. It will take time, so for now manifest the bow and you can practice with these normal arrows." Emma reaches into her personal void and pulls out a quiver full of arrows and hands them to Rue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
