Physical Description: At 5'7", Thaelyn is just above average height for a woman, with a slender build that makes her just shy of willowy. Slight curves and a womanly shape keep her from looking boyish, if only barely. She has long red hair that falls to her knees, and rich crimson eyes that are usually filled with curiosity, set in a face with delicate features.

Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Thaelyn wears a set of white and blood red armor which is inscribed inside with a complex series of magical runes. This provides her armor with a strength that belies its lightness, as well as serving as a sort of magical buffer that wards off most spells. She also carries a spear, or perhaps it's a staff - she seems to use it as a combination of both, using it both to fight and to channel her own magical abilities.

Thaelyn descended from the bathroom just in time to receive an invitation to join everyone outside for a gardening lesson. She elected to tag along, but grabbed a basket of mending on the way out. No reason not to get some work done while the children and Alden were enjoying themselves with Jun and the flower beds. Settling into a chair, she put the basket near her feet and set about repairing the holes in the various items of clothing, keeping an ear turned toward the lecture and smiling as she listened to Jun talking to the children. She was such a sweet girl, and the children really liked her. Especially Juniper. It was good for them to have another adult in their lives who would be good for them, and Thaelyn was infinitely pleased Jun had begun coming around.

Alden Marshal

Roleplay posts: 1,420 
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Little Naoki and Juniper were the most attentive to Jun's words, staring up at the larger girl with wide eyes from the start. The rest of the children zeroed in when they were told the seeds were magic. When it came to actually planting the seeds, Juniper was the most skilled followed by Naoki and Rawr Rawr. The little girl seemed to have a real passion for tending to living things and it helped her with gardening. Alden was also attentive and he was good at following the instructions given, he seemed to have a lot of experience in the garden. Of course, Jun would know why that was with his extensive history in making poisons and tending those plants. Once the lesson is done, Jun is wished a fond goodbye, as the kids file back into the house for a bath before bed. This time Alden goes with them, leaving Thaelyn to help Jun with anything she needed before the young woman departed.

Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun and the kids would take care of most of the clean-up, so all that was left was to say her good-byes and be off into the sunset.
When the children went of, Jun and Thaelyn were left alone in the yard. Now that it was all over, she decided she wanted to have a talk with Thaelyn. The air was starting to turn cold and Jun was very glad she had brought a jacket to cover her flimsy sundress. Gripping it tightly also helped her work up the courage to say what she was gonna say.
"Thaelyn," she said cautiously. "Umm... I just want you to know... you're being very brave, and I really admire you for, well for all of this, and if there's anything I can do to make up for the strain my little project is putting on you..."
She stopped there, not sure what else to add.

Thaelyn continued working as the sun went down and Jun and the kids cleaned up. Once the children had bustled inside with their father, she gathered up her mending and stood, preparing to go inside. She paused when Jun spoke to her, however, and blinked at the other girl, then smiled slightly. Propping the basket of clothes against her hip, she looked absently toward the door.
"You know.. I never thought I'd be able to make myself sit through this. But I'm learning that when you really love someone with all of yourself, there's not much you won't do for them. And even though it hurts, and I hate hearing what Alden has been through, it.. makes me feel closer to him, to know this part of his history." After a few moments, she shook her head to dispel those thoughts and moved closer to Jun, wrapping her free arm around the Tiller's shoulders and giving her a brisk hug.
"Honestly, I feel like this is good for him. To get it off his chest. I can't ask for anything more than that. So thank you, Jun. And know that you're welcome in our home - any time. Even when your project is done."

Jun gave a demure smile as she reciprocated the hug. "Thank you so much. I'll still make it up to you though. I've already starting researching new stories for the children. There's this really odd one about five sapient ponies and... well, I won't spoil it."
As they walked back into the house, Jun looked around idly at their storybook home. "You know, I think I definitely want to have children some day, when I'm done running around and between two kingdoms. I think I'd want, a boy and a girl, and a pet, other than my demon crow. He's not very kid friendly to be honest. Maybe something traditional like a dog or a gecko..."

She accompanied Jun back into the house, looking at the girl with a chuckle as she expressed her desire to have children.. and a gecko? That part she didn't understand, but she figured it was a Tiller thing. Then her gaze drifted toward the ceiling, where she could hear the children laughing during their bath time. She grinned, a soft laugh falling from her own lips.
"The kids are great.. I absolutely love them. I hope to have my own one day, though. Maybe once those six are a little older and it won't be quite such a hassle dealing with a baby in addition to them." The thought of juggling a baby alongside six rambunctious toddlers was not something that appealed to her. Not one bit.

Jun's face suddenly ran cold when she remembered something.
"I've already been named a godmother actually, by a close friend of mine. I'm not gonna lie, it's fun to talk about, but it's also kinda scary... Although, I heard my grandma had to do my diapers for me because my mom needed time to get used to the poop smell. My dad was gentler than my mom too. I don't think she ever forgave me for not taking up archery instead of magic." She chuckled.
She stared down at the ground. "I hope I can at least be as good a mom as you someday. And Alden's a pretty good dad too." She grinned. "You're a lot more mature than I am." She gently punched Thaelyn in the shoulder.

"My parents owned an orphanage. I grew up helping them take care of the kids. It makes you grow up pretty fast.. and makes you either love kids, or hate them. I'm just lucky I came out loving them." She laughed as Jun punched her, and reached over with a grin, patting the other girl on the shoulder.

(A few days later...)
Jun had returned one last time. Today was the big day. It was finally time to end the experiment and actually get to hear Alden's story of recovery. How he became a good person despite all the insanity he had been through in his young life.
It felt like a special occasion, so she dressed somewhat professionally in her Isranian Black suit. She brought some more dried fruit candy and a few magical paper art toys she bought from a local magic shop. She wasn't sure if she was going to have the energy for story time after this.
She knocked on the door. This was it.

Jun's third arrival goes just as the first two did. The children great her eagerly, this time they don't need to be told not to eat more than one piece of candy as they remember. Once the kids are settled again Alden leads the two woman upstairs and with a sigh he begins his tale once more. This session is far less painful for the first two, though it starts off painfully. He describes the events that lead to the death of everyone in The Village of Lo'Kan he explains how after that he had no memories, a six-month gap that he still hadn't filled. He speaks of waking up in Medan, his arrival in Isra, meeting Karath, going to the midnight sun for the first time, meeting Naoki, becoming an operative, meeting Moonflower, becoming her brother, remembering what he'd done in Lo'Kan, returning there and burying the bodies, his feelings of helplessness and despair as he wallowed away time in the village, the circus arriving, meeting Takhana and Cynder, his return to Isra, the birth of his children, the founding of the Sun Marshals, Moonflower moving away, meeting Thaelyn, falling in love with her.... "And that is my tale in its entirity." Alden finally finishes with a smile, glad to have this over and done with finally. It had been cathartic in a way, but also very painful and he was glad that he'd never after to tell the full tale again... Except probably to his kids when they were older. |

The interview was the longest one to date. Jun had been taking careful notes the entire time, and tried to track all of Alden's emotional states from beginning to end. Love, forgiveness, and understand were recurring themes, but there was also a sense of diligence and purpose, both from Alden himself and the people who had helped him along the way. Alden likely would never have recovered without help from others, but his own efforts should not be discounted.
Going over the logs from the other devices, Jun understood that the trauma never really went away. It wasn't magically healed or excised. The mind was a more complicated thing that the body, and there was no quick fix. But though thoughts of anger and hatred still permeated his soul in various recesses, with constant vigilance Alden was able to keep them in check and cultivate the good in him.
By the time it was all over, Jun could only sigh and take a deep breath. It was a few moments before she could speak. "You know it's amazing that no one else has researched this. All the magic and construction, the farming, alchemy, ecology, and yet we know so little about the sapient mind."
Jun folded her arms; her facial expression could best be described as disappointment in humanity itself.
"You're one of a kind Alden. I swear, if you were a holy mage of the school of virtues, you would have won the diligence virtue twice over. Hearing your story is an honor. Really. And I hope together we can use to to help a lot of people."
A closed-lipped smirk curled on her face. "Permission to hug you, sir?"

Thaelyn once again sat in her chair off to one side, listening. She didn't weep this time, although her face was carefully neutral whenever Cynder was mentioned. She had.. mixed feelings about the subject of the female she'd never met. An irrational irritation and jealousy that the woman had met Alden first, combined with rage at her abandoning the man and their children, and an odd gratefulness that she'd helped produce such wonderful offspring that Thaelyn now had the pleasure of helping to care for. And when Thaelyn herself was mentioned, she smiled at Alden, but remained silent. She watched the exchange between Jun and Alden when the interview was over, once again wondering why exactly Alden had wanted her present for this information. Was it just because he wanted her to know everything about himself? She would have to ponder this. When Jun asked if she could hug him, Thaelyn stifled a laugh, although her mirth partially escaped in a small snort and a smile that was hidden behind her fingers.

Alden Marshal
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,420
Age: 30
Physical Description: Alden is 6 even, with shoulder length messy black hair, and several days worth of beard stubble. He is handsome, with a powerful jaw, mid set cheek bones, and a perpetual grin that makes him seem younger than he really is. His bright green eyes, constantly sparkle with barely contained mirth. He has the lithe well muscled body of a swordsmen, and he moves with considerable grace and dexterity.
If one where to take more thorough examination of Alden's eyes they may notice a further detail. Around the outside edge of his iris's there's an intricate series of minuscule grey runes.
Alden rarely removes his shirt, but should someone see him with it off, they would find his body to be covered in scar tissue. Starting from just below his neckline, there is very little space that does not sport some relic of a past injury. A particularly observant person may also note that among these scars, some are a bright scarlet. These scarlet scars form an intricate series of runes hiding among the others.
Those of a more magical bent may be able to decipher the runes in his eyes and on his skin. Identifying them as sigils more commonly found on magical items. The most obvious effect of the runes on his body, are increased speed, strength, and durability.
The runes on his eyes give him the ability to detect magical auras and residue, as well as allowing him to see through low level illusions and glamours. They also maintain his vision regardless of the current light level, and even if there is a sudden shift. His eyes are also capable of dropping into the infrared spectrum in complete darkness.
The rune work on his body enhances his natural strength, speed, endurance, durability, and reflexes to almost super human levels. The effects make him a formidable opponent for most magical creatures though only because they are supplemented by exceptional skill.
This means that all though he is almost super human in a straight contest of strength or speed he would most likely loose to most other magically enhanced humanoids such as vampires or were wolves.
Alden's runes also greatly increase his healing rate allowing him to recover from injuries that would normally take a few months for a person to recover from in a few short weeks. Not only do Alden's runes accelerate healing they also enhance it. A normal persons body will repair itself until it is functioning again then stop, thanks to the runes Alden's body will continues to fix itself until it is in near perfect condition. His healing abilities enhance his already prodigious stamina as it repairs muscle damage and lactic build up and it also increases longevity as he does not accumulate long term damage as most people do.
Finally his body runes provide protection from people attempts to find him magically. Detection spells will be obfuscated their readings on his location being off by about 20 meters. Long distance scrying and tracking spells are only able to narrow down his area to somewhere within a mile radius. It should be noted that these protections can be overcome by someone with sufficient power or ingenuity.
His runes cannot be removed unless they are cut off of his body using an appropriate ritual knife and magic. If the runes are disrupted in any other way they will simply grow back in a few weeks time.
The final thing that only someone versed in rune craft and enchanting would be able to tell is this: The process of these runes being carved into his bodies would have been unbelievably painful. A normal person would have been driven insane or to suicide if they had this happen to them. During the carving process un-directed magical energies would begin to take hold and tear apart your soul. The pain this would not cease until the rune pattern was completed. This means the pain caused would be on a spiritual and physical level of incredible magnitude.

Alden was pretty sure he'd had more people ask for permission to hug him than anyone else. He wondered what was it in his bearing that made people feel they needed to ask first. Shrugging his shoulders he opens his arms. "If you'd like go right ahead Jun." He says with a slightly confused smile. Once the hug is over he turns his attention to Thaelyn.
"Anyway, now that the story is all out there, there is something I'd like to do." Reaching into his pocket he searches around and then finds something. He tosses the item to Thaelyn, the small thing catching the sunlight in its arc. It was a small gold ring set with a ruby and framed by two diamonds. "Oh right I am supposed to ask." Alden blinks as he remembers that part of the process. "Thaelyn I want to marry you."

Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun's jaw dropped.
She darted towards one of the devices and switched it back on and waved it at Thaelyn with a playful grin, anxiously awaiting her answer. Her exhausted eyes were now sparkling with joy, envy, and anticipation.

Thaelyn couldn't help but giggle when Alden gave Jun permission to hug him. It was pretty entertaining, really. She was just about to rise from her seat and go check on the kids when Alden turned her way, and the blood mage looked decidedly puzzled. An expression which became even more so when he began fishing around in his pockets for an item, one which came tumbling her way after a moment. She reached out to catch the glinting object, fumbling it a few times before finally managing to catch it between her palm and her chest. Then she was pulling the appendage back to look down at the.. ring... Her eyes widened, and much like Jun, her jaw dropped, even before Alden spoke.
She blinked once, twice, thrice, and then jumped to her feet with a squeal. Throwing herself at Alden, she wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped up onto his body, her legs twining around his waist so she was effectively hanging on him as she began pressing firm, fervent kisses to his lips.
"Yes." Kiss. "Yes." Kiss. "Yes!" Kiss. "Yes yes YES!" Her lips sealed to his in a final kiss even as she began laughing, still clutching the ring in her hand. She was too giddy to even think of putting it on, let alone to comprehend that Jun was apparently recording the whole event.

Alden catches Thaelyn in his arms, though it is a near thing. If he didn't have enhanced reflexes she would have barreled him over instead, she is pulled into a tight embrace as he lets her kiss him. He wants to let out a sigh of relief, he'd been mildly worried about her response, but he doesn't get the opportunity. Her kisses cut off any chance of a response of the moment so he goes with the flow. He kisses her back fiercely, trying to somehow wordlessly convey the emotions he held for her, to let her know just why he'd asked.

Jun gazed upon the happy couple with envy. Kids, marriage, proposal, it all seemed so romantic. Jun thought back to Vaelar and Ma'sum with a slight tear. If only things had been different...
She blushed and looked away until they were done lip smacking each other.
"Uh... want me to spend some time with the kids while you two discuss things?"

Thaelyn abruptly remembered Jun was there when the girl spoke, and she pulled away from Alden to look at her with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. Then she grinned, letting her feet hit the floor and pulling her arms from around his neck. She looked down at the ring as she slid it onto the fourth finger of her left hand, then cleared her throat and slid her arm around his waist.
"I ah.. well, there's not really much to discuss, I don't think. Let's just go have dinner, yes?" Though it occurred to her that there would be many questions - especially from the girls - about her new item of jewelry. She knew the children, they loved her and would be happy she was marrying their father, but it still made her a bit anxious.

A slight moan of disappointment is stifled as Thaelyn slides off of his body. He remembers that thing where you weren't supposed to do intimate things in front of others... propriety or something like that. He didn't like it, but he figured it might be weird for Jun to stand their while he and Thaelyn kiss. For once the two didn't need to put themselves together after his story, so he leads the way downstairs for dinner. It takes a few moments, but eventually the ever observant Naoki spots the ring and asks about it. "Thaelyn why do you have a new ring?" The little girl asks curiously as she moves to look at it.
