*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..."
English
-
*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?"
-
"The Order of the Sombrero." *I finally smile* "Few have joined, do you wish to?"
-
"I do wish to join. However, I feel the call towards solitude growing and I must go. I will come to you when I return" *gets up and runs out with purpose* [spoiler] I'm going to be busy this weekend so I want to have a reason for not posting. [/spoiler]
