[@goodmode] [h2]Revenant of Shield [/h2][b][color=darkred]Chapter 0 - To Whom The Bell Tolls[/color][/b][hr] [color=darkred]"Calm down,"[/color] said the skeletal creature in front of you as it put more pressure upon your shoulder. It was slightly uncomfortable, but for some reason you knew that it was done out of concern, rather than malice. The same, however, cannot be said for the.. [i]thing[/i] that had just fallen from the sky, if whatever plane exist above this place could be called that. The [i]person[/i] that descended was simultaneously similar and polar opposite of you. Where you were a mass of darkness, he had light shining from within him. Where you were standing before the Skeleton, he stood behind them. Where you had a shield - or used to, at least - he had a war hammer. Seemingly misunderstanding the situation, this.. person.. thing quickly rushed towards your position, and swung his hammer down at the Skeleton that was holding your shoulder down. [color=darkred]"And it goes for your as well",[/color] the creature said in a stern tone without so much as looking back. As if reacting to their words, the assailant's hammer shattered into a million shards in a blinding spark. [color=darkred]"This is not the place for a talk. Come,"[/color] they continued unpertubed as they took your and the mystery man's hands. And as they did so, the creature's cloak engulfed the two of you, and in a blink of an eye, you were transported into another place. A garden of wilting roses, to be precise. It was an eerily beautiful place. The deep crimson of rose petals contrasting with the darkened stalk upon which they bloomed from; the entire 'garden' was filled with these twisted beauties. On the dead center of it all, stood a gazebo that aged like a fine wine. The woods from which they were made, were dry and cracked. Yet the beauty they convey, were almost heart-wrenchingly beautiful. Sitting inside, were two visages. The first was the Skeletal Being that brought you here. You already know them, though their appearance had changed ever so slightly. Their bones were now covered in some soft of thin film that you somehow recognized as skin. Their features seemed to have softened a bit too. Their horns had now taken the form of white hairs, and their eyes were no longer hollow. [hider=Silver Fox] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/zEae6QQ.jpg[/img][/center] [/hider] The second one, was a stark contrast. [i]Beautiful[/i] you thought. And how could you not? The Being was glimmering with the colours of rainbow. Their eyes golden, each as brilliant as The Sun. Flowing golden hair adorned their head. Their features, even softer and more delicate than the Skeleton's new appearance. Yet their body, while petite, exudes comparable imposing presence as the Skeleton. [hider=Golden Fox] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F00yMjL.jpg[/img][/center] [/hider] As you continued to stare for way too long at the duo, the Skeleton - or rather, the old gentleman - beckoned the two of you to come closer. Wait, two? You realized that not only you, the hammer person was also there with you. And you also realized that now your appearance were also getting closer to the three of them. A name drifted into your heart. [i]Your[/i] name. [hider=OOC] You may now pick a name and appearance for your character. The usual business, please give a detailed description of your appearance if you want to opt out of using pics :) [/hider]
