*I laugh as I holster the odd pistol*
"Finally somebody with a sense of humor!!!"
*I flourish with both hands and knives are in them as I finish*
"You like that trick? Simple illusion."
[spoiler]You can join. Want to continue your (first?) fight?[/spoiler]
English
-
"Impressive. I think I could learn a few things from you, one never knows when a trick like that would come in handy. But let us continue" *I throw two knives at you and make a spinning leap towards you*
-
*I slide on my knees under you dodging the knives to get under you, and a block of shadow shoves you high into the air* "Coming down?" *I finish the slide and straighten up, facing where you will fall*
-
*I twist in midair to come back down onto your shoulders. I throw my weight to pull us both to the ground*
-
*I roll backwards, kicking you in the back as I complete it* "Nice, seems like you have a firm understanding of physics."
-
"I just can't seem to hit you. Dodge this" *I throw several fans of razors at varying heights while advancing towards you *
-
Edited by TwiggierTiger22: 6/5/2015 12:37:25 AM*I open 2 rifts, one in front of the razors and one behind you. The razors fly through the first one and now fly at you from behind* "You see, I'm not a tank like my father. I don't like to get hit."
-
*My armor deflects most of the razors, but I wince as a few hit me* "Not fair, I'm not using any sorcery... Not that I know much anyway" *I advance once more, swinging two swords. I go into a trance-like state that allows me to see that which is hidden* [spoiler] Think eagle vision from Assassin's Creed[/spoiler]
-
*You notice something odd about me, as if I was nothing but a shadow to your vision. I block your swords with both of my knives, and as you leave yourself open a tendril slaps you in the chest, staggering you backwards* "Down boy..."
-
*I sheath my blades and kneel* "I see that I am but an apprentice to one as you, teach me how to wield such magic that I might have more than my blades."
-
*I laugh, then the decoy in front of you melts into pure shadow as I step out next to you* "Well, first things first. I was born with this magic. Made, rather. I can help you learn to use the shadows as I do, insuring that no one notices you without your consent. I also see that you favor knives. Good, you never know when you will have to use them." *I sit down, motioning you to do so as well*
-
*I sit*
-
"So, what do you wish to know? Think before asking. Find the most meaningful question that comes to mind."
-
"I wish to use the shadows to move as you did. You could simply step into one shadow and appear in another"
-
"Ah. The one thing I cannot teach." *I shake my head, a grim look on my face* "I do not use the shadows, I am the shadows themselves, given life and breath." *I gesture widely* "All shadows are connected, they are a part of the great darkness beyond. I use that connection to move from one shadow to the next. I will help you learn to use the shadows, but do not expect to suddenly be falling into the darkness. That alone is my curse. Next question."
-
You were always ready for my strikes, almost as if you had seen them coming. Am I that obvious to you, or is there something deeper?
-
*I shrug* "I am an elf, some things are obvious to us more than others. Your body also can betray your intentions. The way you shift before a strike; the slight twitch of a finger finding its way to a trigger; these things become obvious with experience. I saw how you tensed up, how you adjusted your body for a strike. But I will give you this, you are well trained. You saw where to strike, you had no hesitation at all. You think with absolute certainty, you know what to do." *I twirl a dagger as I talk, making it appear and disappear in my hand* "Next question"
-
"Was your shadow decoy just another of your in born tricks or can you teach that?" [spoiler] Sorry for the wait. I fell asleep[/spoiler]
-
"It is actually a little bit of born magic, and an idea I got from my mother. I can teach you something similar, but it will not be the same." *I smile* "You are thinking clearly, good. Next question, please."
-
"I feel that you are looking for a particular question that I don't yet see."
-
*With complete seriousness* "You didn't ask me where I got the cool sombrero"
-
*with equal seriousness* I didn't ask about the sombrero because I don't have the skill to wear such a sombrero.
-
*I nod, still serious* "But do you wish to gain such skill of the sombrero?"
-
*My eyes widen* I can learn the secrets of the sombrero? I wish to learn."
-
"You can indeed. The first thing to do is to obtain a sombrero, but that is no mere task." *I take off my sombrero, my long hair tumbling down my back* "This was given to me by a master, the first of the Order."
-
"The Order?"
