The Firmament of Avelle Avelle, for many years this land has been ruled over by the Alderamin royal family, a cruel group of individuals, who brought war from their home of Tyvivian searching for hidden relics said to have fallen from the stars. They ravaged the land with their odd mining machines that dug into the earth and into the mountain ranges, looking for these relics that held the power of the stars. Eventually Avelle became nothing but an extension of Tyvivian, and joined the other lands taken in by the Alderamin empire. Years went by, and years became a century, and the Alderamin family finally began building what they called, “The Firmament”. A collection of devoted generals, granted with the power of the star relics to do the bidding of the empire. However they were still missing a select few relics, it seems unknown to them, a resistance was growing, fighting against the empire by stealing these relics as well as disturbing the royal's mining efforts. The Empire was destroying the land, oppressing the people in their search for using technology and binding it with the ancient magics.
Even some within the Firmament did not agree on the empires decision and split off into their own semi neutral group, the Constellation Faction. For the two generals that side with neither the Empire nor the Resistance, but wish to only protect the power of the star relics as well as care for the people of Avelle which they believe to be the "holy land". Its headed by the noble former generals, Aquarius & Libra. However, for their "radical" ideals they are kept in a glass dome within the city Upsilon, where without the Urn that Aquarius carries, all would dry up within a year. (Though she is allowed to leave without the Urn and only under close watch.)
The Firmament supports the Empire, to the death, and without reserve. Made up of the most powerful and highly trained generals, each is given a relic, most are given high positions as well as powers as a general. They protect the royal family as well as their empire, known for being cruel, unforgiving, and all powerful. Some have begun to feel differently towards the empire ever since the resistance rose, and with the Aquarius and Libra imprisoned, some have already left the Firmament, such as Aries, the crown prince's younger brother.
The resistance is in need of the strongest warriors to take on the Firmament and the Prince. The dwarves have been enslaved for mining purposes and now even some of the holiest of places to the elves are being defiled for the search of star artifacts. A few must stand against the mighty, and face the Firmament. |

The races of the lands:
Humans: Average, but they come in a much wider variety than the other races:
Mikill: The northerner humans prove to be strong, hefty, and mighty, with generations built into their strong alliance with the dwarves folk of Val Haven.
Tyvivi: Beings of the empire, mostly merchants, swordsmen, and other means of upper class types that came to Avelle from the empires home country, usually they are scorned by the other races.
Svartr: With beautiful dark skin, the svartr are an artful culture once born of villages spread throughout the estersand, but are now a much more developed people based out of Thesis and Al Giedi, they are known for their beautiful and graceful native language.
Dwarves: A great, strong people, but now no more than slaves to the empire for mining and the operation of their machines. They have a tight alliance with the Mikill.
Elves: Tall, slender, and proficient in magics, the elves come in a few varieties, as the Drow (dark elves), High Elves, and Wood elves.
Changelings: Very rarely is the actual body of a changeling ever seen, as they take which ever form pleases them the most, it is unknown what their origin is, but it is known that they have a small collective in Thesis as a close knit family of a Sailors Forum, where they regulate the trades and services of the sandsea ports.
Viera: The beautiful, but fragile beings of the wood. The all female clan inhabits a hidden village within the Matrices Dephs. With long slender ears like the rabbit and a small thin frame, they are a rare breed to come across. Known for their affinity for animals, their counterpart male clan in the Westersands is known for their strong horse breeds. Once every ten years the two clans meet for mating purposes before separating the children by gender and returning to their home clans.
Nymph: The beings of the forest, made and born purely of nature, come in many forms, river, mountain, forest, flower, etc. They are minor shapeshifters, but are limited by only beings they come into contact with. They are usually skittish, but are very friendly to those they trust, when one befriends a nymph it is said they have the Nymph's Insight, another way of saying that the gods and nature finds them to be pleasing and good..
Daemons: Cretures born of wicked hearts, most of which belong to one of the three clans within either the Alsharin Estersand or Westersand. The three being:
Nuniel: The cat folk clan of a gentle yet vicious race that call themselves Spinx. They are a tight group of hunter-gatherer type, their village in the Westersand is of the same name as their clan. Their reflexes and speed surpass all others.
Esotan: The "original" demon clan, each bearing a set of horns and tattoos, as well as (at times) a set of piercings. They claim themselves above all other demons and come in a variety of different forms. They inhabit their own city carved into the side of canyons and mountains in the Estersand, they also guard the tomb of the Nashira. (The younger Esotan are known to have animal and creature companions.)
Asaosh: The dragon Daemons, that inhabit the highest of mountains and canyons, they have no definite home, and come in different forms, and different colored skin, but all of which have either solid white or black eyes. They may also shape shift into separate dragon forms.

But with a fire in their belly and pure bravery in the heart of the ram, little to nothing can get in the way of ruining their plans.

A down side however is they never know how to take no for an answer, they can be possessive and at times uncompromising. They would rather face a foe with a sword than with negotiation. However, the Taurus plays just as hard as they fight and will take nothing less than the best in living a life of luxury. They dislike change and hate seeing insecurity in others, finding low self esteem as a sign of weakness, wanting confidence in their soldiers and their lovers. The Bull is gifted with the Emerald whip, which may extend at any length and can let out a powerful thundering sound that causes the earth itself to quake and crack.Though the bull also includes a golden helm with the horns of a bull, it is only for show as the crown of the Prince.

Detail and servitude is the life for the virgo. They are deeply devoted to being caregivers to their leaders and dominate others.

Shyness and being overly critical of themselves are their ultimate down fall. They enjoy being perfectionists but usually give out destructive criticism of those they find to be imperfect. They are neat freaks and enjoy spending their time keeping both their home and themselves clean. The virgin is reserved, peaceful and innocent, making them very emotionally sensitive.

They have a darker sense of humor, enjoying seeing others under their control and bowing to their will. However Capricorn presents themselves with good manners and being highly disciplined with self-control. But the goats down fall is being a know-it-all, and being just as unforgiving as they are condescending, always taking down to those that are not their equal or greater. They have a dislike for almost everything and are impossible to please, they stick to tradition and are very determined when it comes to status. Capricorn, in other words, plays the perfect villain, but can be likable when they want to be, or if someone has something they want.The Goat is blessed with the Onyx hooves, heavy armored boots that allow the goat to surprisingly move faster than any other enemy, even walking on water and up walls and on ceilings are possible for the goat.

Aquarius: The Water Bearer
Aquarians present themselves in one of two ways. One on hand, you’ll see someone who is shy, and quiet. On the other, an Aquarian can be boisterous, eccentric, and energetic. Both are deep thinkers with a love of helping others. Highly intellectual, this is a sign of fierce independence that prizes intuition tempered with logic. Both personality types have an uncanny ability to see both sides of an argument without prejudice, making them excellent problem-solvers. While very much attuned to the energies around them, Aquarians have a deep need to take time out alone and away to rejuvenate themselves. The keyword for this sign is imagination. The Aquarian can see a world of possibilities even when there appears to be none. They are progressive, originals, and very independent, but is very afraid of expressing themselves emotionally, and can be both temperamental and aloof. The Water Bearer is appropriately blessed with the most unique but difficult star relic, the Turquoise Urn, which never runs dry of water. The Urn is the only relic whose purpose has not yet been discovered, it is said only the heart of the true Aquarian may wield the Urn in its proper form.
[Neutral.] Played by: Miera42
Pisces: The Fish:
"Understanding" is a most appropriate keyword for the gentle, affectionate Pieces. Easygoing and generally accepting of others around them, Pisceans are often found in the company of a variety of different personalities. Their willingness to give of themselves emotionally lends to an aura of quiet empathy. A Pisces is comforting to be around. While not likely to be the leader, this sign's presence is strong and vibrant in any cause they put their hearts into. The fish is gentle, compassionate, but is always the martyr, is usually sad, even though they are always to be the first to willingly sacrifice themselves. They are true romantics at heart, putting love above all else. However when the fish finds something to stand for and something to protect they never let down, being highly protective of their loved ones. The Pieces can be a flirt when they want to be, but always remain more aloof than straight forward. The Fish is blessed with the Moonstone Fins, the fins fan out from golden gauntlets, allowing the fish to swim at top speed, as well at bring their aqua magics to full height, being able to bend and move water fully at their will, they may also breathe underwater with a rare aqua spell allowing them to grow gills when needed. The fins may also grow out into a rapier for the Pisces to use with precise skill

Username: PrincessMaharea
Name: Alyessa (Not her true name.)
Aliases/Nicknames: General Sagittarius
Age: 129 ( Only about 22 in human years. )
Height/Weight: 6"3 / 120lbs.
Race: Viera
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Birthplace: Matrices Dephs
Occupation: General
Magiks: Can control and speak with animals. Can also sense living beings.
Political View: Supports the Empire
Background: Born within the Matrices Dephs to the Viera clan, it was well expected that Alyessa was to become a high priestess, a second in command to the chief of her clan. But when she came to the age one-hundred and was told her choice was to either become what her fate bound her to be, or to leave, and as a huge scandal and surprise to all, she left. She since has joined the reality of the world around her as she could not stand how her clan refused to see that the world around them was changing, that life as they knew it would have to change with the world around it. So she went in search of the empire to aid it in its revolutionary views of the world. On her way there she came across a mining expedition that had been burnt to the ground by what she calls "terrorists". As she looks through the damage she found a valuable item in it all, and one she arrived in Upsilon, she bravely approached the queen demanding that she be allowed to aid the empire. Once it was seen that she wore the Topaz Bow of the Sagittarius, she was taken in by the queen, given a new name, and granted to be the queens escort. Eventually she proved to be highly accurate and directly deadly with a bow as a perfect sharpshooter. Even without the Topaz bow, she is deadly with her words as she is straight to the point and without shame for the things she says. After the Queen died she kept her name the queen gave her. She now serves her prince, and will serve his every wish, adoring him most in this world.

Username: Tytun
Name: Ackear Numbra
Aliases/Nicknames: The Judge
Age: 243 (Appears 24 in human years)
Height/Weight: (5 ft. 8 in / 176 lbs. [Human form])
Race: Asaosh
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Birthplace: Xyrezath Rouc (or Dragon's Reach, in human tongue)
Occupation: Constellation Faction General
Magiks: Can breath Dragon Fire when necessary, Can switch between dragon and human form freely, Can levitate while in his human form
Political View: Neutral
Background: Like all (more accurately, most) dragons of his lineage, Ackear was born upon Xyrezath Rouc and raised there until he was able to fly. During his early years, he was placed in that typical situation of being the weakest of his generation. That said, he was constantly picked on and taunted by the other young dragons, though this came out in the form of flying and words rather than blood and violence. Despite the anger welling up within him, Ackear knew that what they said was true. They were better than him in every way, and it stung his heart and spirit to know so...
Once he was old enough to leave (by dragon standards), Ackear left his home not in search of power but in search of 'peace'. Of course, his travels didn't go unnoticed by the Humans, who thought of him as a threat without evidence upon it. Sensing and experiencing this firsthand, Ackear took to the shadows, spending days upon end studying humans and other creatures of that kind. He did this until, one day, he practically understood everything there was to being a human and converted his body into the form of a human. After a single mishap that showed him a single flaw in his form, Ackear now consistently wears a black wrap around his completely black eyes. Despite this, he is able to see easily still, and he continued his life as a wandering 'human'.
Eventually, Ackear came into possession of a magical relic, titled 'The Scales of Balance', though he never quite their purpose until later. In time, a small group of people, claiming to be 'Generals' of some war, carted him over to Upsilon, where he was asked to join their cause. From what he gathered, he could have been deemed a 'General' as well, due to the item he held. However, his mind and heart were not in this apparent war, and thus he declined. Now, he spends his days in the dome within Upsilon, having been confined there for 'potential defection' reasons...

Name: Selani K'Thanuk (Keh-Tanuck)
Aliases/Nicknames: Sela (SAY-la)
Age: about 200 - looks around 15
Height/Weight: 5' 10" - looks about 160, probably closer to 180 or 190 pounds (muscle)
Race: Asaosh
Gender: female
Sexual Orientation: straight
Birthplace: among the Celestial Barrier
Occupation: Ex general
Magiks: can manipulate water and earth somewhat, more for "gardening" than attacking though she can do that with Air
Political View: Neutral
Background: Raised in the mountains, Selani grew up with an isolated Asaosh clan among the ice and forests. She learned how to effect the areas around them and care for them as was that clan's seen duty. They would travel down during the warmer seasons with the melting rivers to mate and just in general meet with the other clans in that mountain range, and it was also during this time that her clan would go through their guarding rituals. Having found a cave blown into the mountain, some looked and scouted but were poisoned by the chemicals used by the dwarf slaves working the land for the Empire. Saddened at the loss the clans retreated to talk strategy, but Selan stayed behind to try to talk to the dwarves, curious to know why they did such things that obviously pained them. Having changed back she listened in her "human" form, and was caught. She asked her questions, then had to run off as someone else had an interest in her. Hiding up the mountain where it was colder than her pursuers could stand comfortably, she found the urn at the beginning of the river that the dwarves were using for their operations and transportation. Tugging first did no good, until she asked for help from the general area. She believes the river wanted her to have the urn, and her picking it up saved everyone for a time as the dwarves and their overseers had to leave due to the loss of the river. The cave now clean and used as a sacred graveyard, Selani traveled to look for who had done this thing, and to learn why.
Found by the Empire, she was trapped and eventually brought to speak with the Queen, and made a general due to her general curiosity about the artifacts. Later on, Selani's beliefs about the Empire changed as the Queen died and the Prince took over. Sad that the land she had learned to listen to died under the Empire's hand, and also her own actions, she decided she wanted no part of it, instead speaking with Libra about balances and how to keep the land prosperous as well as healthy. Sent away for this conspiracy, she now resides in Upsilon where she can't decide whether to try to leave to help keep the other artifacts safe and the world in balance, or stay so the land and the few inhabitants can stay happy.
Other: Always carries an ice-stone from the mountains, something that gave them light at home, so called because it looks just like the light blue of coldest ice and while it never breaks down in regular heat the light lessens as if it was "melting" - has a temper underneath her normal exterior that rarely shows but when it does is disastrous and destructive

Fin was loud, not afraid to take what he wants while being straight to the point, but was loyal and honest and strong. They grew constantly trying to one up each other and were banished as their fighting became so explosive that they would destroy many things and harm others in their battles. They ran then, having only each other, while bond in the life as twins they always loved each other, and stayed by each others side. They went then for Upsilon where by the old kings suspicions they were spotted during one of their grand fights and were deemed the Gemini, though they still fight for whose the stronger and better of the two.
Other: Rinne and Finris are twins.

Age: 23
Height/Weight: (ft.in / lbs. ) 6'1" / 177 lbs
Race: Half Tyvivi-Half Svartr
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
Birthplace: Upsilon, in the Royal Palace
Occupation: General, Leader of the Resistance, Exiled Prince
Magiks: Thermal absorption, the power to extinguish fire, besides his abundant reserve of fire magic from the blessed Diamond Helm.
Political View: A former supporter of the empire, who has lost his will, exiled and now leading the scarse Resistance.
Background: The dark horse of the Alderamin royal family. Born in Upsilon as the son of the King's favorite Svartr concubine, he had faced undercurrents of stigma and discrimination since childhood. The High Queen Nashira had looked down upon him with a frown, and he had mostly lived behind the shadow of his flamboyant half-brother, the crown prince. Though close as children, the difference between his station and his brother's had grown stronger with age, striking the final blow when he was chosen as the bearer of the Diamond Helm, much to general disbelief. He had striven to be perfect in all respect, to wedge his deserved position beside his brother, and hence, finds it difficult to cope with any sort of failure. A slow, steady hate has burned slowly through him, triggering doubts about the the empire's true goal. Combined with their corruption and decadence, it gave him a strong ground to leave the firmament. The result was disastrous. He was exiled from Upsilon, and he chose to join the handful of rebels in Al Geidi, driven by vengeance disguised as goodwill. He is conflicted inside, much from his own sense of vengeance and his own secret admiration towards his father and brother.
Other: He is ambitious and a good strategist, willing to do anything to achieve his goal.
Appearance:
 Username: GoingRogue
Name: Ard Rexus Caldesir Alderamin
Aliases / Nicknames: General Taurus, His Highness the Crown Prince, Exalted General, the Bard Prince.
Age: 26
Height / Weight (cm, kg): 186 cm, 102 kg
Race: Tyvivi
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Birthplace: Upsilon, The Royal Palace
Occupation: Exalted General, Crown Prince, Musician (Cello, Violin, Piano and Guitar), Swordsman, Scholar (Architect, Carpenter and Geologist), Studies many languages.
Magiks: Firmly skillful in the use of Earth and Fire magik, his main stratagem when using magic follows the use of traps hidden in direct confrontation through attacks such as fireballs, firewalls, rocks, spires and cavities.
Political View: Supports the Alderamin Empire (although his loyalty to the King's views has recently been strongly diminished).
Background: Being the King's firstborn prince, Rexus was always spoiled with as a child. That was until he was given his first sword. He ordered the best of the best swordfighters and spellcasters in the region to train him, and as he trained, he matured just as much as his friendship with his younger brother declined. When crowned with the absolute authority as Crown Prince, his younger brother ultimately wrapped up their friendship and left the Empire walls. Completely crushed with the loss of his only friend and brother, Rexus was left with a growing confusion and uncertainty. To cope with his brother's decisions, Rexus took up musician and architecture classes (as well as carpentry and geology), as to forget the void that was now in his life. He couldn't leave the empire behind, being the only prince the king and the people had.
He was loved by the people, but was it really true love? Or was it fear from the king's own moves towards the people? Armed with these questions, Crowned Prince Rexus developed his own motifs, starting with the secret development of sub-groups within the empire's different facilities such as their mining and trading facilities, and befriending certain Esotan contacts. All camouflaged as evil or malicious by the empire, Rexus has his own business in mind...
Other: Ambitious, strategic and fierce, Rexus is a decisive figure with a strong mind. He oftenly and openly questions decisions made by others, and is very often depicted as a razorbladed edge, or a bull that ravages other people's private life because of his straightforwardness. Artists oftenly depict him as a bull with green whipping horns- referring to his Emerald Whip.
Recently, his eyes has caught the glimpse of a certain Esotan beauty, whos identity is currently being kept secret for all instances. General Alyessa knows of her existence, but not of her identity.
Various magik stones socketed into his armor and sword grants him numerous advantages, such as heightened strength, speed and magik. His sword is crafted from dense Adamantium, making it almost impossible to break.

Political View: Neutral
Background: Erissa was born where the rest of her clan lives; Matrices Dephs. Her mother took good care of her and she was never exposed to violence, but, just incase, her mother taught her to re-equip, anyway. When she was older, around 15 in human years and 97 as her real age, her mother taught her to fight, which would someday come in handy. Her mother died, soon after Erissa's 16th birthday, and Erissa was all on her own, except for her clan. After her mother's funeral, Erissa was taking a walk, and came upon a...crab? She picked it up and it turned out to be one of the relics her mother used to tell her about; it was the Cancer. She now had the Cancer.

Occupation: The royal adviser in terms of politics and culture. A general and member of the Firmament. An accomplished archer and swords-player.
Magiks: Healing, sharp sight and hearing, powers of persuasion.
Political View: Against the empire on a few tactics. But she is still optimistic. The relic of the Virgo has shown her reason for this hope.
Background: Born as a daughter of one of wood-elf leaders, she was engaged at a very young age to a different elf-clan, as the usual strategy of spreading cooperation. Though raised to be obedient, she found herself falling in love with a human woman. The rumours were quick to spread, the stigma as well, leading to admonishment. She left home and her clan in protest, knowing that she would never be welcome there again. The relic of the Virgo had belonged to her family for generations, she took it with herself before leaving, as a sign that her mind was still as unblemished as a virgin. For her, virginity stands for freedom and will, and the power to live independently of a man, as her personal grudge towards the patriarchal society.

Username: The_Gentleman_Jack
Name: Apollo (Has since removed his clans surname)
Aliases/Nicknames: Jack
Age: 159 (27 to humans)
Height/Weight: 6'8

Magiks: Prefers not to use magic, but has vague understanding of minor lightning spells.
Political View: Neutral, leans towards the empire.
Background: Since his youth, Jack has always felt at home with his fellow male virea, but had always found their ways and traditions to be strange, especially the separations of the gender, which to a boy like Jack, had not always been an easy thing to accept. He put his mind into training horses, and learning what bare and boring things his clan had to offer. However, it took no more than 17 years until he left, not even a man to his clan and he took off into the world to seek it out and take it in for what it was worth. He spent his youth as the apprentice of a blacksmith, learning the arts of craft of and swordplay, but moved on after ten years to take on the world. Going from one place to another, swooning with women, winning hearts and winning battles. One battle, was the turning point in his life, when at the ripe age of 100, he took to the Empire's home of Tyvivian where he made his name as a pirate, and where he came upon a very valuable item. During a celebration of the empire he had hear of the empire looking for beautiful relics, he couldn't resist. He had created an elaborate ruse, and in a matter of a night, had the collar of the Leo. He quickly felt drawn to it, placing the heavy thing around his neck as it sat bigger than his neck, but not quite small enough to remove over his head. He was never able to remove it afterwards. it wasn't until years later that he found himself in Upsilon once more, where he lived many years, owning a beautiful ship that spent most of its time now docked in the mighty river below the glorious Upsilon. He made a name for himself in the guilds of thieves and mercenaries, he however had been picked and chosen by the empire upon the discovery that he was both the thief of the collar, and the true leo that would bear it. Though he is claimed a general, he rarely ever shows his face to the Prince, and has never met any other generals, believing they are all humans of the empire, and not those he wishes to fraternize with.

"Alyessa" :: General Sagittarius
I have no home, the sky is my roof, the earth my bedding.
I have no love, the sun keeps me warm as any lover would.
I have no family, my heart and the gaia is my salvation.
Avelle, the 11th day of Summer. Alsharin Westersand.
Alyessa place the pen down, she had no time today for writing poetry, only the day as she would not loose track. The Alsharin Westersand's heat had gotten to her head, it was so dry, not like the damp warm of her home provence. However, she would not be commanded to be here unless it was the upmost importance. She was to go and investigate the rumors of spies and revolting citizens. If found they were to either be intimidated or eliminated. That was good... she wrote down the two words and closed the journal of rhymes and thoughts as she took up her weapons waiting for her on her bed and went then out of her tent and into the bright sun and heat, the dry rock and sand beneath her feet made it difficult to walk in her high heeled armor, however her shoes always had to be as such, due to the physical high arch of the foot of a viera. They had set up a decent enough camp, a base of operations, but she had worried, they were only about 95 kilometers from Al Giedi, so if these rumors were true, than these spies and revolutionaries were sure to know they were here by now. She looked to a few men, already suited up in their armour.
"You three, begin a scouting of the area."
They quickly got to it as she began to walk a bit away from camp and up a lage sand dune, once on the top she stood high atop one of a the large canyons, seeing Al Giedi in the distance. She wondered if her prince had sent another general for this, she was well enough trained in stealth combat, but she was not used to fighting an enemy that she was unsure if they existed or not. Perhaps for now she would just show her face there and speak of intimidation tactics, see if anyone came out about it on their own. She ran her claws through her hair a bit. She had been thrown in the dark. |

Of ice, wind, and forest
~*~
Selani looked up from the book she was reading, papers and scrolls scattered out in a sort of wild mess that only she knew the secrets of. Blinking at the flame sputtering at the almost-gone candle, the young elvish-looking Asaosh stood and stretched. Using the remaining light to straighten up the mess...though it still covered the desk...the candle's flame finally died, leaving Selani in the dark. Sighing, there was a blue-tinged glow as she took the icecrystal out from under her top, and Selani's blue-silver eyes looked at the space before nodding. Not even bothering to start a new candle, Selani walked the quiet halls of the closed Upsilon library, on her way to bed of the building she claimed residence to and 'haunted' at night. She yawned, putting a hand to her mouth, and accidentally ran into someone. "Gheh...sorry," she said, stumbling a bit before recovering, looking away out of embarassment and hunching her shouders as if expecting to be yelled at.

|:|| Astrid Garde:|: of Alsharin Estersand |:
|:|| Royal Chief Assassin :|: Scorpio|:
------------------------------------------
✺
His arrogance had been so attractive.
Astrid could still see the malicious glint in those cold eyes, the cruel - but beautiful twist of his full lips in a sneer. He was better simply because he believed himself to be. Every word, every movement thrust into the golden spotlight of envious stares. She was a commoner. He was king.
And so, in all his unattainable glory, he was admired. Adored. But not loved - not by the hordes of simpering females around, and certainly not by her. Through the sickly green haze of jealousy, he remained unsullied. Crowded by the throng, he rose above, surpassing them one after another. Tawny gold. Muscled, exuding an overflowing power. Calm the next day. A feral snarl, confidence baring fanges - and the pristine white was painted with crimson flecks. The loser walked away with his life, and not much else.
Astrid was childish, her attempts futile. She ran faster - he raced effortlessly agead. Her blade sang. His glinted in the sunlight, flickering steel webs in a cage around Astrid, finding her throat. It whisteld away mockingly, triumphantly. She was left winded again.
When at last another autumn came, gold faded to rust. The trees shed their crown of leaves in a thick blanket on the ground. Just as life ended around Astrid, a King fell.
Sometimes she thought of herself as a toy, an object tossed about in a high wind. A useful toy - one being pulled in all directions by the hands of power. Where were her loyalties? With her family? The guild that had mentored her in her younger, vulnerable days? Those that she worked for?
And there she was, Astrid Garde, the Empire's Assassin. A lofty title for a child like herself. For those who could see beyond the mask, there was an ever-present flicker of doubt, uncertainty. It was at these times that she was glad that most were blind to her inner self.
She wondered how life was, for the ones that she hunted. There was no questioning their loyalties - one look at their (often) defiant, martyred expressions, a last, uttered farewell for the revolution they'd help to build, and it was all over. No guilt, no regrets.
The feeling was mutual. A job to do, a side to support. Grudging respect for the duration of the hunt and the inevitable result. A departure.
Emotions were dangerous. That much she'd learnt, even back in the days of canyon-running in Estersand. Not love, she realised now. Devotion. Blind, causeless devotion. And no one to blame for his death.
Life was fleeting.
It ticked away steadily. Sometimes, the little hands would spin maniacally to the rythym of a hunter's footsteps, the clock's malfunction beyond repair.
Sometimes, the clock would chime once, a final goodbye.
Only because she let it.
˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗˗

Ackear UmbraAsaosh of Balance / Libro
While being confined to a library wasn't exactly the proper living arrangement he was expecting from the capital, it was decent in the sense that he had access to all of the knowledge here. True, some of these things were not meant for his mind, either being in some decrypted form or enchanted so that only certain eyes may look upon them, but the rest provided him with the knowledge he wished to gain. And this was so, as his hands and sight were upon a certain book at the time, his fingers flipping through the pages once he was ready to move on. The book was a necessity to his most recent experiment, a formula in creating a most interesting potion. A certain balance of components were needed, a fact that truly enticed this Asaosh, and his earlier attempts to find it on his own had provided... amusing results. After what had felt like an eternity of trial and error, only to end with his defeat, the male had taken his mind to the books, intending to find the one that held his answer. Expectantly, he did find it. Now he could return to his experiment with no trouble at all. Now sure he had the knowledge he sought, the male descended from his position of floating near the top shelf, ending with his levitation about three feet from the floor. Floating off toward his experiment spot, his eyes were glued to the book as he focused solely on it.
The male's dark vision was perfect. Despite the fact that his eyes were always covered by the cloth he had tied around them, there was nothing he couldn't see. That said... he wasn't paying attention when he suddenly collided with something. His knowledge of the library's layout told him that it wasn't a wall, shelving, or anything of the sort... So what was it? An apology immediately told him the answer and he looked toward the speaker as he repositioned his levitating form. "There is no need for the apology, ma'am," he replied with a light bow. "I wasn't paying attention, either." As he about to continue on without so much as another word, there was something about her that caught his attention. Aside from her natural elven beauty, he caught her 'scent'... She wasn't an elf, but a dragon. With that fact in mind, he moved on, figuring that she would be able to smell his 'scent' as well...
Come one, come all
Let the Scale judge your soul
Be it good, and you will triumph
Be it evil, and your spirit is forever foul...

Blinking, Selani noted the person she had ran into was floating...no, levitating. He wasn't bobbing. Blushing as he called her "ma'am", Selani brushed herself off and moved out of the way. "You don't need to call me ma'am..." she muttered as he passed. Turning to continue on her way, Selani sniffed and sneezed quietly with a muttered, "Dusty..." Standing still, thinking for a moment, Selani snapped her fingers in remembrance followed Akear. "Wait...you're the Scales, aren't you, the other Asaosh general? We sent letters holding a debate about how the Empire was going about its deeds and...ah, sorry. Never mind, it's not important. Just please don't forget to keep the book nice...the library is the only thing I can really have as a project right now. So many things for research...but, I'm sorry. I'll let you be..." Sighing, Selani smacked her forehead with a palm, annoyed at herself. But he was the only other Asaosh she'd seen for quite a while, and she had felt excited to finally meet him in person. "Idiot...he was reading. You know better than to talk to people whore reading...gyah," Selani muttered, going to hit her forehead as she continued on down the third-story open-balconied hall they were on. "Probably more tired than you, numbskull..."
