The mighty kha lets a low rumble of a laugh escape his lips, amused by such a proclamation. "it is of too bads they'd not known Eittitica planned to be removing the shrine anyways... Less work for Kabuki, he thinks. Foolish, non thinkers. Know not that khas devotion to the fallen Muuna wavers not even when gone." And thus, begins the construction of the greater shrine of Metztli

 

 

 

 

An evil little imp catches wind of these occurrences, and begins to jump around with excitement. "Ra’drakurz raht roknoth kuul ra’vaznan amol tul. KILL THE WEAK. DEATH!!! THEY ALL DIE!"

Kharajyr Language - Kharahatla

Completed Language Document

 

For centuries, the Kharajyr language has been lost to time. Only fractions and remnants have survived history, continuing to build upon the lost and fragmented nature of the once mighty race of cat folk. However, with a new rise in culture and sustainment, numerous kha have come together to create a fully fledged dictionary. Basing off of their knowledge of the remnants of the language, new words were created to replace those forgotten, allowing for the race to speak unified at long last. 

 

Kharahatla is a language of numerous rules and discrepancies, which will be listed and further explained throughout the dictionary

It remains under works as the days pass and Kharajyr piece together new aspects of their tongue, being updated often for all to use.

NOUNS

 

A noun is a word that can be the subject of a clause, or the object (indirect or direct) of a verb. In simple terms, it is a person, place, or thing.

 

In Kharahatla, there is one important way to identify nouns, four common suffixes, which are:

 

• -tli

• -li

• -in

• -tl

 

Pluralization:

• Nouns ending with -tl are pluralized with -h: 

mountain: tepetl, mountains: tepeh 

 

• Nouns ending in -tli (-tin): 

man: oquictli, men: oquichtin

 

• Nouns ending in -li the plural will be -lan: 

light: tlahuilli, lights: tlahualan

 

• Nouns with the -in suffix will be pluralized with -ac:

singer: ohetin, singers: ohetac 

 

Irregular Nouns

 

However, these suffixes are not always present, and like most languages there are exceptions to this rule. For example, ‘mizton’ is the term for cat, and is one of the terms that do not adopt this commonality. When faced with these oddities, pluralizing may come to be something of a challenge. As such, a miscellaneous plural of ‘-meh’, for example:

Singular - Mizton   Plural - Miztomeh

 

POSSESSIVE NOUNS

When a noun becomes possessive, regardless of pluralization, it obtains the suffix ‘-huan’.

 

Singular                               Possessive

Child - conetl         My child/ren - conehuan

House - chantli         My house/s - chanhuan

Bath - temazcalli         My bath/s - temazcalhuan

Fish - michin         My fish/s - michuan

The great druid of Crows and Ravens and Rooks bows his head solemnly. He hasn't seen his son in decades, the last remnants of his past life had been in his granddaughter. Waves of regret wash over him, how much time could he have spent with her? How could he have wasted her precious and fleeting life like this, how could he have dared to not play a bigger role? His own granddaughter! 

Fal'leon slumps against the back of his dining room chair, alone in his seed hall, forefinger and thumb pinching the bridge of his nose. The life he had abandoned continues to wither and die without his presence, and despite his confidence in his choices, he laments not taking more with him. An era was ending swiftly, only one of the lineage of his time as Minister remained standing. Silently, he swears to himself to play a bigger roll in the last one standings' life.

First, however, he sits before the totem of  Kholibrii, the mani of Melody's lineage, and places Calla Lily before her visage. "Kholibrii, adont’ahern Melody aher perith'leh. Ito talonnii narne, ame nae evareh..." He hesitates, drawing in a breath before folding the news of her death and setting it among the million other letters he's received as of late. "Llun ito kae'leh, Lenniel... kae'leh div'ito..."

Mahau-Ra is a figure in Ka’tau culture widely renowned for being the exemplification of what the ideal citizen should be, after his great sacrifices and devotion to Ra’Tuhmet. 

 

Mahau-Ra came to the world during the early Rah’mun period as the first mortal messenger of the Sun, during the time of Neseret. In the beginning, he was regarded simply as another priest of Netjer, one amongst the many who spoke the word of the Gods and boasted Heka from them. He, however, was anything but ordinary. Rather, Mahau-Ra bore a distinct decorum and etiquette unparalleled to others. He walked and talked with purpose in every action, his duty as an alleged messenger etched into him like a brand. 

That was how he introduced himself; The Messenger. Despite this, none had ever been prompted to inquire just what his message was. That was, until the Pharaoh inquired Mahau-Ra. 

He claimed himself to be the Messenger of Ra’Tuhmet, the Sun, baring his gospel and knowledge deeper than any before him. The response to such claims was that of deep scrutiny, and he was vehemently chastised by the Pharaoh. 

“Your disrespect to the Creator of Light will not go unpunished, your Khnum is impure.”
What followed was one of the most brutal whippings the Rah’mun people have recorded, and yet the man of Sun endured each strike with gritted teeth and a stoic expression. When asked, as blood stained his garbs and soaked to the floor, why he circumvented refusal, Mahau-Ra said that if he had disrespected his King he would accost the punishment to prove his truth. 

 

The years that ensued were hardly more bearable, Mahau-Ra became the unfavourable of the Rah’Mun, and yet with each day that passed he continued to aid his people. In droughts, he came bucket by bucket with water from the rivers; with famine he offered his bread to those who hungered; and when war came he drew his ragged blade to defend his beloved home.

War. The unforgiving. The act of brutality descendants seem to never stray from, the very opposition to Life. 

Mahau-Ra fought with valiance, though was unrecognized as a true Machimoi of Rah’Tuma by his contemptuous brethren. When asked, “why do you risk your life for people who disown you as theirs?” he replied, “They are my blood, the people of Ra’Tuhmet are sacred.”

The war waged for three full years, and each battle saw the accursed Mahau-Ra spilling blood in the name of the Sun, and his people. He slipped into battles after they began, and used the flurry of steel to mask his presence. His aid was paramount, and had been unrecognized entirely throughout the endless combat. 

That was, until the final battle.

 

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

 

The battle was viscous, each side- Rah’Mun and Isfetian alike- beheld the desperation of soldiers who had not known peace nor rest in years. 

Days passed, and yet neither side would yield, nor would they bare advantage substantial enough to insinuate a claim to victory would draw near. 

Mahau-Ra observed from a distance, atop a steed held dear to him. The Sun idled over the horizon, spilling crimson rays over sand dunes as though soaking each grain in blood. A dire omen for the proceedings. 

While he stood in his place, the golden skinned man draped in white fabrics took this single moment to reflect upon his life until this point. For an instant, he bore the question; Why? Why any of this? All the moments that lead to this had been ones of suffering. And yet, he yielded not only the answer to his own inquiry, but to the survival of his People. 

None had ever permitted Mahau-Ra to finish his message, it had become the secret he kept held to his chest tighter than he did the very heart that beat his life force. 

A wind drew forth and upturned the sands of time, frigid while the rays of Sun still yet withheld from extending to reach the Messenger. Despite this, naught as much as shiver passed through Mahau-Ra, for he bore the warmth of Light in a way none had ever held prior. Had only he been allowed to fully explain himself, he could have elucidated how he could possibly bear the true word of Ra’Tuhmet.

He was, for all intents and purposes, ordinary. No stronger, nor greater than any Netjer before him. His word yielded no further divinity than this brethren, for he spoke with the identical directness as them. Despite this fact, he had a message from Ra’Tuhmet given to him in a walk to the Sun, a simple message that was as dear to him as water is to life. 

Mahau-Ra rode across the sandy wastes towards the Isfetian hordes, in stoic silence he passed the gruesome scene of gore and guts, of steel hissing as blades met. His destination was unprecedented, and unwavering. The white-clad man, using the distraction of onslaught made possible by the forgiving cold of the night, who threatened to give way any moment, came to a halt. He faced now the back of the Isfet army, invisible through ignorance of his enemy.

“Ra'tumet, ak'aan shara adurbûrz.” Ra’Tuhmet, suncut man of light, “Thrakord kaal durbûrzlab danghum, agh tûrnûl matum.'' Bring forth your lights punishment, and inflict death.

Many recount the blazing glory equal only to that of the very Sun that hangs in our sky that erupted as his words were uttered in the guttural sacred tongue. The beam that then shot down from the behemoth ball of light struck into the heart of the Isfetians, imbued with Ra’Tuhmets will, became the deciding factor in the long standing war. Those touched by the rays, veterans claimed, had fallen to their knees screaming as the true Sun finally poured over the horizon and painted the landscape in gold. Those left untouched spent but a fraction of a moment glancing towards the glaring light, and left themselves exposed long enough by hair to be struck down by Rah’Mun blades.

The light faded, the battlefield coated in corpses, the Sun hung benevolently in the sky. Years of combat had come to a close, and the victors owed their success to a single man.

 

─── ⋆⋅☼⋅⋆ ───

 

The dedication displayed by Mahau-Ra was recognized on that day, the pharaoh who had seen him slandered awarded him the title of  Rah’hemtepi Netjer, High Priest of Ra’Tuhmet. Since his time, he has come to be known as the ideal Rah’mun, his resolve that of the utmost perfection. All of his time would come to strive to emulate Mahau-Ra, and thus his name has come to withstand the tests of time.

Fal'leon Maehr'uhier lets out a curious hum, and makes a mental note to meet up with a particular niece of his.... "wha' 'as Floria been doin'..." 

Yhl'Kabuki, the great Tigrasi Aelkos of the Sanctuary of Eittitica, their leader of SOUL, could have never prepared himself for the sorrow that came with the loss of his first friend.
Kabuki was not born to a family of people to look up to, his patta had not been a man of wisdom, but rather one of physical demand. While this had meant the young Tigrasi was born and raised to be an apt combatant, it was never what he felt in his heart was the path for him. When the first Pyramid of Eittitca was erected in his home city, the wise Keidha stood to be all of the things Kabuki wished to see himself become. A leader who guided and shared the culture of Kha. For a whitewashed kharajyr such as himself, it was incredible to see someone of what his culture could be. 
Alongside his patta as general, Kabuki came to become a Tlapana, a warrior, of the former Eittitica pyramid. There he would begin to learn both his kinds language and ways through Keidha's events. Fondly, he recalls the time himself and Keidha stood at the highest point of the pyramid and spoke of Metztli, where he first learned of her importance to their kind. He met new kha's, including his second ever friend, Yaotl, and from there he knew this was the way he wanted to live. Kabuki knew that he dreamed to see a pyramid in which his kind could come together safely and share their culture together, to give home to the scattered kha across the continent.
 

It was during the attack of the Mori, and Yaotl's allyship with the Mali'Ker, did Kabuki strike up a way to see all of their dreams come together. Eittitca, meaning Trio, was always meant to have three leaders, Keidha had told him. Together, the three Kha, Leaparda, Pantera, and Tigrasi, would ally themselves as MIND, BODY, AND SOUL. When their paws touched the new continent of Aevos, they began construction of their new pyramid. 
They held events together, and grew their community. Keidha was Kabuki's first friend, and first mentor. He took the place of a patta when his own failed to do so. It was their meeting that has ever been the most meaningful to the massive kha. The two would never hold the same bond that Keidha and Azhanna did, he didn't care regardless. Perhaps the elder kha never even knew the place he held within Kabuki's heart, that thought alone was enough to bring him to tears. His own patta abandoned him twice, and openly loved his younger sister moreso. His own father taught him only how to fight, and to be strong. It was Keidha who taught him to lead, to become a person others could look up to themselves. 


In their final moments together, Kabuki was incapable of finding words for himself. He knew when he had been summoned what was to come, he knew the reason that his fellow Aelkos had been seldom leaving their shared tower. But he simply couldn't bring himself to admit it. Keidha could, Keidha was strong enough to speak the truth that these would be his last moments.
"This one has been of such pride to be getting to be of seeing Yhl'Keidha's dreams be coming true. Keidha... Was this ones first perta. This one would stand not where he does without you, without all you have been done. This one... Wishes Keidha could be seeing all that khas will come to being. This one wishes we could have been having more times together. To have known each other with more, to have shared but... Just one more drink, one more ceremony."

When the elder kha's final breath was drawn, and his serene song finished, Kabuki could do nothing more than break down to tears. Nearly a century had passed with the two knowing one another, a century of viewing the leaparda as a mentor and ally. Nearly a century, and it had drawn to a close. Regret swept him, of all the words he hadn't gotten the chance to say, all the glory they had not seen together.

The tigrasi wept, the kha known for his stoicism and might, broke to tears as sorrow and grief overcame him. He swore to continue to see Keidha's dream come to fruition. His paw came to rest on his Aelkos' forearm, despite the protestant hissing of Azh, and he whispered for just himself and Keidha to hear:
"machtia, pehua. Achcauhtuan, pertuan, ma xipatinemi huecauhtica. Mocehuia ica Muuna Metztli. Mocehuia, auh axiltia ti aocmo huecauh. Mul'ta ti chihua ye, pattuan. Yhl'Keidha.]

[To teach, to triumph. My leader, my friend, farewell for only a while. Rest with our mother Metztli. Rest, and we will join you soon. Thank you for all you've done, my father. Yhl'Keidha.]

What magic(s) will you be teaching?

         Blight Healing

 

Describe this magic or a creature as a whole:

         

Blight healing is one of the most prolific druidic abilities, and the one outside groups know them best for. This ability is also the only one in which the druid does not simply ask nature of something, but bends reality to its will via the use of mana. The druid in question is able to cleanse aspects of nature of any blighting that has occurred, that being damage, burring, poisoning, or magic based harm. How this occurs generally is reliant on the subsection of this ability, however the general and overarching concept is that 'mists' form, a physical manifestation of the druids mana, and move to the blighted target so that it is able to reverse blighting, to which I will further detail in the below section of the application. 
Those who indulge in learning the art of Blight Healing are more prone to experiencing mana exhaustion, an ailment that occurs when a magic user runs out of mana. This is due to the heavy quantity in which this act uses up, given the nature of putting life back into harmed, or even dead aspects of nature. (Limited to animals and anything ST bars from rejuvenation). The response to this varies between druids, and is a flavour aspect left to the will of the player, however is most commonly seen as appearing aged, extremely exhausted, winded, or even extremely hungry. The amount of such depends on the radius in which it has been casted; a druid who casts at their tiers full radius will be completely exhausted and unable to do so again, however if a lower tiers radius is used the spell will be less strenuous and can potentially be done again. Energy takes about 1 IRL hour to replenish, however this is only with rest, if the user continues to be active they will find they remain exhausted until dedicated time of rest occurs. 
Furthermore, blight healing lacks combative capabilities due to the nature of the spells and the goal of healing, with the exception of grasping and sealing, and is limited to once per an encounter. 

 

Are there different sections or subsections of magic? Can those be elaborated upon?

         

While there isn't any specific way that Blight Healing is divided up, i've always understood it to have two 'types' of spells. There are rejuvenation spells, whose purpose and goal is to reinstall life into blighted land, for example burned plants; and there are purging spells, that specifically purge the land of blight, typically infused by voidal or other magics.
I separate these two sections with the following spells:

 

Rejuvenation 

- blooming

- fertilizing

- regeneration

- decay

 

Purging

- gleaning

- sealing

- cleansing

 

Additionally, there are two other possible spells under the blight healing umbrella that are somewhat separate from typical blight healing. Awakening is an infusion that has the user reimbue life into a now inanimate object, typically seen in staffs and druidic limbs. This is perhaps one of the most impressive feats, as it has the druid put life into something that no longer sustains it. Secondly, there is mani summoning, which requires mastery of druidism as a whole, in which BH is included in, and is an entirely separate feat from the rest of blight healing beyond such.

 

Can you give an example of a casting emote, of a spell of your choice?

         

Fertilization - T5

[1/4] Much to his agitation, Fal'leon had been summoned by an old friend turned monarch to replenish nutrients into their now nutrient devoid crop fields, after years of reckless use and poor management. He had given much scolding prior to agreeing to such, and only did so with written oath that such wouldn't occur again. He now finds himself stood in the center of one of their fields, surrounded by rotting crop and barren soil, without a note of the Balances song to be heard. This only added to his frustration. Nevertheless, bound to his duty, the druid let out a long sigh. In doing so, shimmering, translucent feathers begin to form around him, until his entire figure becomes engulfed in a monster-like raven, his true self visible through the false image. 

 

[2/4] Now, Fal'leon adjusts his stance, wider, before slamming his staff into the dry soil, grasping it with both hands, for prepared support of his weight. Another long breath escapes him, finding focus and allowing his mind to clear of his aforementioned disdain. The purple glow of his eyes begins to increase, until becoming a cascading waterfall, like misty tears, that flow downwards until eventually meeting the ground beneath him. An eerie sight, to say the least. 

 

[3/4] With his mists summoned, the druid places his focus in directing it. The waterfalls of mana begin to seep into the soil, reaching as deep as his capabilities allow him to, before then branching off, over and over again. Like the roots of a massive tree, below the surface his mists became thousands of divergences, spanning his full range. The field pulses from below, gaps in the soil allowing the bright purple light to shine through, beating with his heart. With each pulsation, he allows his own energy to deposit into the ground.

 

[4/4] Fal'leon let out a laboured breath as he continues his work, pushing his mana forth so that he could fully replenish the areas nutrients. He continues until he can't any longer, using his staff to keep him standing. When the process was finished, there was little visible difference in the land, however the druid was able to hear the distinct song returning as life beneath the surface erupted at the sudden fertility of the land. The signs of his casting vanished within an instant, and the man was left simply a sweaty, and out of breath figure within a now replenished field. He gives a small, contented grin, before turning to heave himself back to the kingdom to rest. 

 

 

Can you give an example of a teaching-emote (interacting with another) of a spell of your choice?

         

Blooming - T1

 

Fal'leon looks at the druid sat across from him, legs crossed one over the other. Between them sits a withered rose, with signs of charring on the petals, its roots shriveling under its not so lively condition.

"Look, I know yer pissed i burned yer flower, bu' i' was fer tha lesson! Yer goin' tae learn tae 'eal i'!" He gives a cheeky grin, not an ounce of remorse in his expression. A flare for the dramatic is the only way he knows how to teach, his student should know this by now. "it'll be fine, just- Okay, blooming, tha's wha' we'll learnin', ti? Wipe tha' grumpy look off yer face an' focus on connec'in'." 

 

[1/4] His student stares at him for a few long moments, before letting out an exasperated sigh and begrudgingly obliging to the instructions. They close their eyes, and when open again they bare a light blue hue, shimmers surrounding their figure. They then narrow their eyes and make a rolling gesture with their hand, urging their guide to continue with the lesson so that their rose might return to its previous state of not being burned and dead. "if this doesn't work and you killed my flower for nothing, I'll kill you."

 

"One, ye could ne kill me even if ye tried, an' two, i' will work, because yer guide is ayla a' 'i's job an' yer a capable druid. Now shuddup an' focus, I'm tryna teach!" He muses, looking entirely pleased with himself. "Righ', so, this nex' step is called summonin' yer mis's, which I use ligh'ly because i's nae always in tha form o' like, mis'. Ye sor' o' jus' focus on yer mana until i' forms, similar tae when yer powersharin', ay?" 

 

[2/4] They let out a huff, shaking their head before closing their eyes once again. Their focus turns away from their guide and instead onto their mana, envisioning it flowing through their body, and then spreading out around them. For a few moments nothing occurred, but then slowly, a fog seemed to roll in, its colour the very same hue their eyes glowed. It came to surround them and grow so thick Fal'leon would no longer be able to see them. Only when their eyes opened again would he be able to make anything out, the glow pressing through the fog. "Now what?"

 

"Now, try tae focus on movin' tha mis' so i' covers the flower." He reaches down and picks up the rose, passing it over to his student, reaching through the mists and sort of just waving it around until he feels it be plucked from is grasp. "This'll be tha 'ard par', usin' yer mana tae press tha life back intae tha flower, an' i' only ge's more difficul' with larger plan's an' spaces. I like tae use tha same sor' o' image i used tae explain powersharin', yer takin' a scoop from yer pool o' mana an' pu''in' i' in somethin' elses, jus' this time tha' somethin's is emp'y."

 

[3/4] His student chewed their bottom lip for a moment, envisioning that pool of water they'd pictured back when they had learned powersharing, imagining taking a ladle to scoop it out and pour it into an empty bucket. It took ample focus, eyes trained on the flower now held in their grasp, but the fog they'd rolled in began to condense. It shrunk and wisped around until the only thing covered was the dead rose, engulfing it in blue mists that swirl around it continuously. "Now what?" They inquire, mana beginning to seep into the rose.

 

Fal'leon watches on with deep curiosity, always enthralled to see how different druids mists manifest themselves. There was always much interest to him in how it represents aspects of who they are, or their totem. "Ye take tha mana an' use i' tae pu' yer own life intae tha flower. Fill i' back up." 

 

[4/4] "Ooookay." They say, continuing to use that same image in their mind, imagining their mana water being poured into the empty bucked until it was refilled. Their energy pours through their mists and begins to fully seep into the crispy rose. Its figure, remaining fully concealed by the blue, begins to straighten as life returns to it, rather than wilt. The fog continues to condense and swirl around the flower, glowing brighter until dissipating into a flurry of sparkles. Left in their hand is a rose, petals red and lively, as though it had never even seen the fire that had burnt it. It hit them suddenly, the exhaustion that follows blight healing, their breath rattling suddenly as they hunch over and wheeze. "I- I did it!"

 

"Very well done, llir. Now, le's ge' ye res'ed up, ye'll 'ave more lessons soon." Fal'leon gives a proud smile, standing and moving to pat his students shoulder reassuringly. 

 

Say your student powergames during or after teaching, how do you reprimand that?

         

If it is brought to my attention a student is powergaming, I would indulge in learning their perspective. A first instance I would explain the situation, and that whatever occurred was beyond their personas capabilities. After such, if they persist in doing so, I'd drop them as a student and let others know of the issue the player poses, as well as notifying staff given this hadn't been done so already.

The victor of the combat scenario allows the losing party to either soulstone or /d20. Using either prematurely or in bad-faith can result in a perma-kill the losing party’s characters.

the aspect of the premature/mad faith pking the losing party has be confused? perhaps its the wording, but it sounds as though if the victor using the ss/d20 in bad faith the loser may in up with a PK, which sounds unfair? do correct me if i'm reading this wrong, however it raises concern to me that the victors could hold this power based off of written rule

"Tried, an' failed" A melancholy grin crossed the druids lips, shaking his head. "Wha' an understa'men'. Leas' 'e remembered tae mention me."

Fal'leon sits back, run down from the losses that had been coming one after the other as of late. "Me firs' real love, ye were. Our time t'gether will remain remembered with bi''erswee'ness. I spen' decades prayin' ye would die, decades more tryin' tae ferge' I even loved ye." He lets out a sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose, wrought with feelings impossible to decipher. Loathing, regret, longing, sadness. 

"Van'ayla, ame nae evareh. Kae mayilu nae ker'ante."

Fal'leon was left with his thoughts, with this pile of bound books, and not even a moment to thank the woman who had gifted them to him. Every time one of his human friends fell, he was reminded that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't escape the ache that came with the loss of those he cared for dearly. 

He flips through the pages of the Lesson's he had been given, the news of Nisreen's passing a weight on his chest. One that not even the three bottles of whiskey by his side could cause to subside.

Tears well in his eyes as he mutters his thoughts to the silent room of his Seed Hall. "Ker'ayla, llir. Ye've fough' fer so long, ye've led such a wonderful life. I know ye said nae tae, bu' I shall miss ye eternally, an' shall ne'er ferge' ye. Yer books will 'elp guide those who come tae tha seed, I 'ope they can keep yer legacy alive. Goodnest, rest well alongside tha Xannic ligh' ye followed." He lets out a warble, and takes another long drink. "I'll pass on yer traditions, I swear i' tae ye."

Kabuki let’s out a low, pleased chuckle. “This one hopes the musin and kha will be of drawing together with this!

⋆꒷꒦‧₊˚𓆩The Narrator's Prologue𓆪˚₊‧꒦꒷⋆

 

 

[Before you, a book written and published under the name Fal'leon Kagura Maehr'uhier]

 

We found ourselves in a space unfamiliar, cold, and devoid of life. The silence of nature was near deafening, and I was thankful for the song my staff gave off. 

Myself, Nemea, Elenora, Floria, Lesley, and a ‘ker unbeknownst to myself stood on the black sand, surrounded by crimson walls and a dark ceiling. 

The being- a man, or something emulating a man, faceless and threatening floated above us with menace. The Narrator, it so dubbed itself, and thus I shall do the same. The Narrator spoke, 

“Think of this as a first draft to my story. I’ve read stories with dragons and beasts, where a group of heroes save the princess.”

Questions flurried from us. Where were we? What are the rules? Can we bird a friend? They were answered, though the information was hardly noteworthy.

If the Narrator bore a gaze, it landed on Nemea, who had provoked it previously. Within an instant, she was atop a black stoned structure that hovered in the air. 

We, the heroes, I suppose, bickered for a small bout, the fault of our situation up for debate. A discussion I will save detailing.

“Do you all have your weapons ready?” We were asked. Yes’s from nearly everyone, except myself and Floria. Panic struck me at that moment, but this Narrator creature is apparently not an unjust creature. But, rather, a storyteller. A glaive, my glaive formed into my grasp, thankfully. The engravings of elven, the decor, all as created. How interesting this creature is.

The Narrator vanished before I had even a moment to notice, and in its place a creature of vile appearance. Its maw was large and toothy, hung open in an unpleasant manner. Its flesh, or something like flesh, was black and inky in colour, similar to the sand below us.

“Thats a face only a haelun could love”

“I dont think even a haelun could love THAT.”

While humorous, it wasn’t a false description. This creature wasn’t something I enjoyed viewing. I can’t imagine any of us did. 

Our time to simply sit and observe was not long spent, as it let out a noise I can only describe as the roared version of a stomach gurgle before beginning to approach one of my comrades.

We moved in tandem to encircle this creature while Lesley began to egg it onwards, yelling and running to draw its attention away from the rest of our party. 

I waited, my glaive ready, my breath held. The chance of this thing being peaceful remained on the table, that is, until it struck Lesley. I took this as this story’s confirmation to be on the attack, and attack I did. 

Decades of combat etched into the very bones of my existence, the cobwebs promptly shaken free in the moment of my approach. Swift, fluid, and on the mark. I felt my blade bury into the back of this creature with great satisfaction, and when I returned to a defensive position, saw what must have been its version of blood-- that thick black sand all around us-- leaked out.

This initiation of combat wasn’t something that would go without punishment, I learned this fact quickly. I had kept my distance from the beast, the length of my blade allowing such, however not enough it seemed. Claws raked my face and seared pain through me. 

The sting of combat, a masochistic joy I seldom admit to miss. I felt the blood seep down, and with two of us bearing injury, a silent acknowledgement of the severity of our situation sunk in. Even if the Narrator wouldn’t allow us to die, a prospect we had no proof of, we could leave with severe injuries. 

Perhaps that realization is what caused everyone to move in at once. In succession, Elenora, myself, the ‘ker and Floria all moved to strike the creature down where it stood. Axe, glaive, trident and spear, all sunk into various places. Myself, I aimed for the very arm that dared to strike me. 

And, as swiftly as it had formed, the creature fell to sand as its jaw unhinged. We stood together, still seeing red, our chests heaving. 

I was brought from my trance by Nemea falling from above and landing next to me, and realized then it had ended. 

“Tutorial complete.”

The Narrator floated above us once more, and I craned to view it. I wonder now, in recalling this, if it had expected the majority of us to have enjoyed the experience, or perhaps it was disappointed by such. It was hard to tell what a faceless creature was feeling, given it couldn’t emote such to us, and certainly wouldn’t give word. 

What it did inform us of, is that this was hardly the end of our new story. This was, in all senses of the word, a test. Our toes dipped into the waters of this tale, of the format in which this writer would be crafting its next book. 

Concerningly, excitingly, I’m under the impression that these chapters -- as I’ve been calling it -- will increase in difficulty going forward. This prologue was easy, but if the Narrator is as much a craftsman of chronicles as it claims to be, then things will grow more interesting with time.

“I will give you two years' rest.”

Two years. That’s the amount of time we have to prepare ourselves for the first real chapter of this tale, and hone the skills we have. What this Narrator is, its powersource, is unbeknownst to any of us. Voidal in nature, it is not, this is something I am sure of. Thus, it remains a mystery I hope to solve. 

I hope these next two years treat us well enough that we may be prepared for what lies ahead.

Before the hidden shrine, the massive Kha stands.

"Lesser ob the kranklob luara, descent ob she.  
 Lup’Velûlakeeyt, za ash offers u lat. 
 Grish.  Fur.  Asht."

The Kha sets down a wooden bowl, filled with his own fur and a ground up bone. He raises a blade, and runs it along his palm- an area already scarred from similar ceremony. The blood drips into the bowl.
"Akr'slaium agh mortality, link u izubu reality. 
 Ukû.  Gothûrz.  Tor."

Fal’leon gives a small hum, there is some consideration to be had for the Corvid, it seems. He will keep this missive on his desk for now.

The news hits the druid like a boulder to the face. The man so hellbent on dissociating from descendant attachment finds himself sobbing on his knees, alone in private, refusing to be seen in such a state. Leika, one of his dearest and oldest friends. Memories flood him of their exploits. The times they spend laughing together over various pranks pulled and jokes held. The times they, Amethyst and Ehrendil shared causing mischief despite their positions in Vikela.

He remembers so clearly swearing to her crown, the only time he has felt so connected to people and a city. Fal’leon weeps and warbles as he remembers his time in government with Leika, the feeling that they together, alongside their friends, could make a safe and flourishing place. And oh how they did, how their lands became a central hub for people full they would protect and command. Even now, with his distain for cities and people, those times remain his fondest of memories.

For a week Fal’leon sits alone, under the guise of meditation, crying on and off. Mourning the loss of his friend. It was a loss he had known was coming but he couldn’t possibly prepare for. Occasionally he laughs at her hinting at himself and his brothers closeness, before falling back to a state of sobbing.

“Our world shall nae find another like ye, Leika. An’ I shall nae allow i’ tae e’er forge’ yer name. I will ne’er forge’ ye.”  He hisses out, choking on his own tears. “I wish we would walk t’gether again af’er death. I shall miss ye so dearly. Ferever I shall be yer minis’er o’ knowledge, yer commander o’ army, I shall bow tae ye even whence I forgo me life o’ people. Van’ayla, ac’llir. Narn ilu’hileia, iylker’metta ahernan nae. Kae cihi’an ignere ay nae.” He speaks the elven solemnly, ears drooping down.

 

 

probably one of the coolest concepts i’ve seen for druids so far, and the post is easy to follow which my little brain appreciates greatly
