Takhana Veil
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 312 
Age: 68
Physical Description: Takhana is an undeniably memorable figure. At a full 6' in height, she is graceful and willowy, with a woman's full figure. She has skin that is a dark greyish color, lightly tinted with silver that very nearly sparkles when the light hits it at certain angles. She has the beautifully formed, delicate features, pointed ears, and inherently graceful movements that identify her as one of the Elven folk.Her hair is long, naturally falling to her hips in straight lengths, and is a shining white threaded with silver, although she normally wears it pinned up elaborately with a set of wooden hair sticks that bear jingling silver charms. She has no eyes, and instead wears a blindfold of soft black leather that criss-crosses her empty eye sockets, for the benefit of the others. Tattooed upon her brow and her back are two strange crests, their origin mysterious.
---------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, she wears an elaborate dress of black leather that both reveals her body and conceals it, adorned with straps and seemingly random silver buckles. This is paired with a set of leather-and-metal boots with pointed toes that come to her knees, enhancing the shape of her mostly-visible legs. Aside from her blindfold and ornamental hair sticks, she has a number of accessories that she habitually wears, such as a large pair of silver hoop earrings and numerous silver rings on each hand - one of which, a silvery band set with a violet stone, she wears on her right hand's index finger: This is her official communications accessory for The Midnight Sun, her employer. The enchanted gem is socketed so that it touches her skin at all times, thus allowing her constant access to the telepathic communications network shared by all employees of TMS, simply by virtue of being in uninterrupted physical contact. She uses no weapons, being a peaceable individual.. not to mention the whole blindness thing. She also has a white-and-black, stocky mare named Irabelle, and a fluffy long-haired cat named Jean-Claude.

Takhana was pacing in her office. She'd had a thought and spent a good deal of time pondering it. Finally, she decided it was the best course of action, and so she reached out via the gem in her ring to Lamina Manira, her voice resounding inside the girl's mind.
"Marshal Manira, would you be interested in teaching a fellow recruit Marshal the art of melee combat? His strongest skills are in magic, and I feel it may suit you both to have joint instruction - he in how to better fight with weapons, you in how to better fight against those with magic. What do you say?"

Lamina had been in her room this day, shortly after her meeting of Ashley and Skarlet in the Midnight Sun and her adventure into the Ruins of Crim. Unsure how to really respond, she thought back to Takhana, knowing her 'voice' to be foreign in her mind, a message from another that had to be addressed seriously.
Yes, I will do my best, she kept trying to think, in a number of different ways, but also knew she was no psychic.
She set towards Takhana's office at once.

"Excellent. Marshal Aegon is currently in the basement training room. Perhaps you should go down and meet him." Entering Takhana's office would prove impossible, should Lamina try - the door to the tower would prove unyielding to her touch.

As Lamina heads to her next location, she might see something interesting. In the middle of a hallway, a short dagger rests on the floor. How odd. Someone might have dropped it. Whatever the circumstances, it definitely looks very nice. Too nice to be leaving on the floor, at least. Somebody should probably pick it up.

How..strange. Lamina picked it up. She'd have to bring it to someone else's attention because surely it was lost. For now, she'd slip it into her belt, and head down into the basement to meet Marshal Aegon.

As she picks up the dagger, it pulses once. For something made of bone, it is oddly soft. Indeed, although at first it feels cool, it suddenly grows warm to the touch. As it's tucked away, it begins to softly expand and contract. After a few minutes, a faint voice sounds. It doesn't seem like telepathy, being a real sound. But at once, it almost seems to come from within Lamina's body, with no truly definite source.
"Hello? Can you hear me?"

"Ah!"
Lamina suddenly grasped for the knife and dropped it upon the ground in shock. Tucked away in her belt, it had to have been the only recent change in her situation that could have led to the sound. Already knowing that the Sun Marshal's Headquarters was a magical place, and having been spoken to by telepathy more than once, she wondered just who was trying to play tricks on her, and felt upset at whoever had "hacked" her body to make sound beyond her will.
"Who.. who are you??"
The girl glared, at the knife, because there was nobody else to glare at.

The knife vibrates softly as she grasps it.
"I'm the knife. My nam-"
Its voice is cut off as she lets go of it. It continues to wiggle frantically on the ground.

For now, Lamina 'hides' the knife, kicking it gently into a darkened corner. If someone found it before she returned, it'd likely be returned to its owner. If someone didn't... For now, Lamina head downstairs to work with Aegon. Never before had she trained another before and taken the role of the teacher, and so she found herself getting more and more nervous with each descent of stairs. She would begin trying to structure some manner of opening lesson akin to the drills of "basics" she'd learned when she was younger. (Actual training scene occurring off-site. Time-skip here.) |

After she leaves, the knife continues to shake for a little while, but slows and eventually stops.

Eventually, she walks back up the stairs. The knife, it seemed, was still there. She reached down and picked it up out of the corner she had left it in, now taking this time to examine it closely...

The knife is short, about four inches long and extremely light. It has none of the heft of a blade made of steel. For bone, the coloration is rather odd, being a smooth grey. The color changes occasionally, rippling organically to lighter and darker shades. The edge is unusually sharp, and shows no signs of ever having been sharpened. The hilt is similarly patterned, seemingly more of the bone, with a thin wrapping of leather. On first contact, it feels ice cold. However, the longer she touches it, the more noticeably warm it grows. Then, on the pommel of the blade, the bone moves, splitting open to reveal a very real eye, which stares up at her. It begins to vibrate again,
"Ah. So you've come back! I was worried I'd sleep again, for who knows how long."

"AH!!"
She let out a small scream, and dropped it again. The eye was startling, and just as she began to think she had found an enchanted weapon, she realized this thing was alive... heart now pounding, she stared for a moment, petrified of what had just happened. But should it sit still for a moment, she's gingerly reach back out for it...

It clatters to the ground, and lies there motionless. As she picks it up, it buzzes reproachfully.
"Just because I'm durable doesn't mean you should be throwing me around like that! It hurts! Would you like it if somebody kept dropping you onto stone?"

Lamina looked a strange mix of startled and sorrowful. "I'm... sorry..." her light voice says very quietly, as she looked around to make sure nobody was listening. Talking back to it seemed silly, especially as she realized that only she could hear its 'voice.' But somehow she doubted 'thinking at it' would work much, either.

"I'm... Lamina..." she said, still wary of the fact that she was talking to a knife. "What do you mean... combatible bearer?"
She figured the person who had him last, whoever had discarded of him here, had to have also been a compatible bearer.. right? So what had caused them to abandon him? Was he lost?
"Where do you come from?"

"A compatible bearer is a human, usually a full-blooded one, with both authorization and ability. You must be related, in some way to the royal family of Thran. That said, at the rate you humans breed, I think it would be harder to find someone who wasn't. The other factor is one of combat potential. I was made for the strong and the skilled. When I am not in contact with such a person, I eventually return to sleep. Based on my last memory, I think it must have been five hundred years since I was last activated."
It pauses for a second, considering her second question.
"Thran burned for their pride. Astaroth died for his hubris. I am what is left."

Lamina listened in silence. In truth she was a little bit scared of the coincidence, but seeing as how she was still under the effects of the Avalon drink that she had mistaken for a 'good luck' potion, she gave this all the benefit of a doubt... what if this was just the next fortunate event in a string that would eventually run out?
"And how... did you get here..?"
