xinoehp512 he/him Posted December 26, 2022 Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 13 minutes ago, Mr. Misting said: Miyako let the sword pull her forward, using the force to jump over the rope. As soon as she landed Miyako began dashing towards the Princess, letting the rope around her sword go slack. As Miyako sprinted towards the Princess, her blob of water also advanced. It drifted towards the Princess, trying to seep past her clothes. "So you agree with the Queen? What's she doing?" Miyako called out. The rope held tightly to the sword, ripping it out of Miyako's hands as she flew through the air. It flicked it backwards, sending it clattering across the floor and through the open doorway behind the princess. The princess used the remaining short rope to slash at the blob of water, trying to shatter it into droplets. As she did so, Miyako could feel power tugging at the blob, trying to pull it apart as it had done before. "I don't understand what you mean," the princess replied. "This is her island to rule. She was chosen." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll run around back and get to you as fast as we can." 6 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: The rope held tightly to the sword, ripping it out of Miyako's hands as she flew through the air.

It continued unhindered as it flew towards the Princess. Miyako responded, "So? If it's wrong it's wrong. And I don't think she's ruling to well." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Channelknight Fadran Posted December 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2022 “Your power doesn’t primarily destroy and create; where it can, it replaces. Moving the tree was just that, producing no additional matter or form. That’s why you were still up and at it when the bunny attacked too. Maybe it was a complicated organism, but all you really did was change the form of the dorgrin. That’s why it was as large as it was and why it could breathe fire.” Vance decided to sit down beside her. Hopefully by this point she’d be groggy enough to have forgotten her earlier panic, but the sound of actual fear in her voice hadn’t so readily left his mind yet. He told himself it was to comfort Kealie, but deep down he was aware that it was really himself that he was trying to console. ”That window, however, was directly imbued with magic. To remove a spell like that normally you’d have to unbind it bit by bit- likely over the course of several hours. Ocumeritation can’t very well do that on its own because it’s also just magic and nothing more. To destroy that spell so quickly would require nothing less than an incredible burst of magic.” He looked down at her and smiled. “You’re a lot stronger than you think. Remember that.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vance dropped his head, a little exhausted himself. ”We’re actually out of stew,” he whispered to Quest. “I didn’t know how to break it to her.” @Mr. Misting Quest nodded from his slumped position of hands on knees. He gasped in air in between words. "Do we, um, have any bread?" 39 minutes ago, xinoehp512 said: "Oh? How many people do you suppose the average ruler kills, every week?" The princess shifted her position, letting the water splash onto her leg as she launched herself towards Miyako, bringing her long rope around to encircle her. "Oh?" Miyako said smirking. "Least they don't steal everyone's names and take away people's autonomy." As the blob of water hit the princess's leg, Miyako gave a savage grin. Tightly gripping control of the spell, Miyako pushed the water past the clothing. And then it turned back to liquid steel, a sharp, biting tide of water. It climbed up the princess's body, moving towards her head all while staying within her clothes. Miyako moved to slide underneath the rope, but it was a token effort at best. The fight was nearing to an end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her golden armor melted and poured down her leg, pushing against the water. There was a cry from outside, and the force tearing the water apart redoubled.

The dagger slipped from her fingers as Miyako struggled for air. Miyako sank to her knees, pooling all of her effort on controlling the water and pushing the rope away from her throat. Half of the stream leapt away from the leg, shooting for the princess's head. The other half continued to push against the armor, while cutting away at the princess's leg. 53 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: “Whoa. You okay, man?” Quest waved Vance off. "Yes, I, ah, haven't run that fast for a while. I should probably get back to the old training schedule..." Quest paused and pulled himself up. "I'm ok.

More metal met the water, trying to trap it within its grasp. Cutting with the water became more difficult as the foreign power blunted the edges. And all the while the rope tightened. "Surrender," the guards spoke in unison. "Cease your fighting. Stop. Stop. Stop." Half of them turned and ran towards Miyako and the princess, continuing their chant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote No. They would freeze in place around Miyako's neck. Mariel (that's the princess) would sense it coming and make extra sure of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
