Harmony Spall ~ Almost blind daughter of light | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Well, things were just starting to get 'great' in Harmony's life, with a new step-mother, some new cousin that happened to be a old friend/crush and other cousins wanting to get in her life. Lucky, none of them were around or would dare to go anywhere near the forest around the Spire which Harmony was exploring. | ||||||||

Roleplay
Daybreak: Daybreak drew close this time. The wolf had been skittish in its repeated incursions for days now, careful to remain out of sight - always keeping its distance from the ominous tower its prey resided within which bore the undeniable aura of titans. But this time was different. No, this time she left the place behind. And it was a she, apparently. The wolf-spirit stalked behind the mysterious girl with a natural grace that came quite easily for a being of pure light. It moved almost silently on ethereal pad-paws, carefully watching her from behind trees or atop stones whenever her back was turned. Very familiar. Too familiar.
Harmony: Ever so often, some weird bright thing would just pop into Harmony's enhanced vision, something that was a little bit off and unusual for her condition. She kept ignoring it, hoping that it was just normal until Harmony had enough, turning one of her rings into its sword form, while causing herself to become invisible.
Daybreak: Much too familiar. It was unmistakable. The wolf crept closer, giving the air a few curious sniffs as it wove between trees. But then suddenly, in spite of its nose, its trained eyes lost track of the strange girl. It stepped out slightly from its cover and perked up its ears for a moment, before promptly vanishing.
Harmony: 'This thing is like me,' Harmony thought as she slowly made her way over to where the wolf vanished, still being invisible. She may be a bit stupid, but she sure as hell knew how the invisibility power she has works.
Daybreak: The wolf bowed low, sniffing around a couple more times. Light bent around its form, making it effectively invisible, but all the same it cautiously dimmed the shimmering light of its own body. Smelling the girl come toward it, it hopped sideways a bit and circled around her, careful for any reaction.
Harmony: She gently poked stuff with her sword while invisible, hoping she could at least find the wolf. "Fine, I'll try another way," Harmony said to herself as turned herself visible again while also turning her other ring into a shield. She quickly made a bright light source in front of her shield and started to reflect that light around, hoping to see a slight difference in the reflected light that could be the invisible wolf
Daybreak: Head cocked as the light passed a foot away, the wolf gave a soft yip almost like a bark and crouched low. Its invisible tail swished back and forth just off the ground, barely blowing the grass around.
Harmony: The yip that she could barely hear only just annoyed Harmony. "Where ever you are, you stupid dog, show yourself." Harmony yelled out, after she cut off the light
Daybreak: After a momentary pause the wolf complied, its form glowing back into place off to her side. By way of a trick in the light the wolf was usually nigh-impossible to see out of one's peripherals - in daylight, at least. It watched inquisitively for the moment she would notice.
Harmony: Even with her glasses on, the glowing form of a wolf stung Harmony's vision, in the directions she could see the wolf. She turned to face the wolf, the point of one end of her sword directed at the wolf. "Stop it, or you'll get a piercing the hard way."
Daybreak: The wolf sat back unfazed. Its tail wagged playfully for a second, and then it moved in a flash, jumping toward the girl - only to vanish in a burst of light and reappear behind her, streaking away through the brush.
Nyxil and Harmony
Harmony: Training with and being around boring old demitians could only entertain Harmony so much. It was started getting to the point where, even though she had been in the Spire for an hour, Harmony was excited to go see that wolf made out of light that she only really found outside of the Spire.
Daybreak: Daybreak kept a sharp watch on Harmony from afar. The wolf's keen senses were ever reliable as he followed her away from the Spire. Unfortunately, even his nose had its limits, and his attention was often elsewhere lately. He had to miss their game yesterday. Something was off with the Lady, and the Master too, and anticipation made Daybreak's fur stand on end. He shook the unease from his coat and teleported ahead of Harmony, shimmering into being in a patch of sunlight shining through the trees. This stretch of wilderness was much more open and sunny than where they had first met, with less trees and a lot more knee-high grass - though all the underbrush around him burned away with the sudden heat of his teleportation. His tail poked up above the rest.
Harmony: Even with her glasses on, the sudden change of light stung at Harmony's enhanced vision, but it was an all familiar pain that can with being around the wolf made out of light. "Hey, boy, how's it going?" Harmony said softly as she approached the wolf, brushing her hand on the long grass and looking a few seconds into the future, just to get a little leverage over what the wolf would do next
Daybreak: Daybreak gave his customary greeting, running in a quick circle and swishing his tail playfully. A good way to tell her he was in a good mood, and of course, that their games were all in good fun. They had sparred occasionally, and chased plenty. Something across the wolf's empathy links made him think the time had come for something... else. And Daybreak was determined to catch her by surprise. As soon as his greeting was done, he broke into a dash toward the girl, vanishing in the grass for a split second - and closing his jaws on the leatherbound sheath of a longsword. A brief flash of light reflected from its celestial bronze crossguard was the only warning before Daybreak leapt up from the underbrush, swinging the sheathed blade in an impressively well-executed upward swipe.
Harmony: Harmony's look into the future gave her an idea to what the wolf would do once it reappeared, and gave her enough time to turn one of her rings into a shield and position it to block the wolf's swipe. "I'll never understand where you've learnt how to use weapons like that," Harmony murmured as she turned her other ring into its sword form and spun the sword around.
Daybreak: The reverberations from his sword crashing into Harmony's shield catch him off guard, and the wolf is forced to fade out into intangibility as her blade arcs straight through his body. Either her reaction time was improving, or she was getting more comfortable using the Mistress's gift of foresight. Not to be outdone so easily, Daybreak manages to catch his weapon again as he drops to the grass, and tries to whack her in the ankle while slipping past.
Harmony: "You stupid wolf," Harmony said as she wasn't prepared for the wolf to attack her ankles with the sword. She then proceeded to turn her weapons back into rings before making a war hammer out of light and swing it at the wolf, over her head.
Daybreak: Daybreak raised the weapon between his teeth to deflect her blow, but his awkward hold on the sheath wasn't enough to counter her unexpected strength. She's definitely improving, the wolf managed to think before his guard broke and his sword was forced aside. Daybreak let out a piercing yelp as the hammer blurred through his form and lodged into the dirt below, pinning him to the ground. The wolf's semi-tangible body never broke or cut the way a real flesh-and-blood animal's would, and he didn't actually have internal organs to worry about, but having an object stuck through him was still unpleasant.
Harmony: Finally pinning down the wolf so quickly gave Harmony a sense of pride. "Got you this time," Harmony said as her warhammer disappeared. "Only if you could talk and I could find out who you stole that sword from."
Daybreak: Subtly as he could manage, Daybreak drew the dispersing light of Harmony's hammer into himself. He'd worked that trick out a while ago. It made sense, he supposed - both Harmony's constructs and his own body are the exact same brand of divine daylight. She seemingly hadn't noticed yet. All the same, the newly absorbed light filled in the gap in his back, and even left him a bit brighter than before. He found his feet and swished his tail a bit, trying to push some impression of the words "Didn't steal it!" into the girl's mind.
Harmony: Harmony watched quietly as the wolf took in the light from her warhammer construct into itself. "Ok, that's pretty cool," Harmony said as she looked away from the wolf, which was now hurting her eyes. "You are so mysterious."
