The Shackled Relic

@Holy Grail - Okay, holding you to it. ^.-

@Dark Light can't answer all the questions, but I think we are waiting for stuff to happen in other threads before this one starts.

The Shackled Relic

@Noodles - I don't know much about Celes... but I suppose she would be okay. I have to think of a way for her to form the bond... might just do it randomly, since the relic has been 'activated' now. So - yeah, that works. ^.^ So put her in approvals and just RP as if suddenly being given the link, wherever she is. Also, this is on the condition she'll become better later... xD

Elise Hartell & Scarlett

_{@Silvan Haven @CoyoteLovely @LPRKN @Lmpkio @t2wave}

Scarlett had lead Shi back to the camp and introduced the sphinx to the others as they trickled back. Before long though, they were headed off, though Elise hadn't interrupted Nak & Fionn, deciding it best to wait 'til later to confront the man about her discoveries.

The Next Day...

As the group approached the city, Elise seemed a bit more quiet than usual, merely following Fionn's lead as he instructed the group. She had hinted at wanting to talk to the man privately at some point, but had not rushed him in the matter. So she simply kept her awareness about her. Scarlett also seemed quiet, though it seemed less purposeful and more out of not having anything to say. Though she gave thanks to Nak a couple times more for the wonderful toy bird, which she still carried in her pack with pride. As Fionn called her name in meeting the oracle, she didn't seem surprised, as Elise normally insisted on bringing her along. She quietly wondered if that'd change now though, seeing as she could somewhat hold her own now.

@Lmpkio - For what? To reply? I guess I can.. though I was curious about Silvan.. he had mentioned doing a time skip in Kindred chat (which you should join - just PM on Discord).

@Antarctic Termite - Nak (@CoyoteLovely), Fionn (@Silvan Haven), TC (@LPRKN), Elise, Scarrlet, and Shi (@Lmpkio) are in the same general area. They're all getting ready to go to some ruins to fight undead. Yes, it's the start of the Cult vs. Kindred plot. Nak is talking with Fionn, TC is at the camp, Elise is going to find Fionn (maybe, he talked about skipping ahead), Scarrlet & Shi are going back to TC.

@Noodles - Geez, was sure I replied to this, sorry! Busy busy life. xD So your plan is to leak out plots against the rebels... Sofia will probs tell the rebel leader, get her capture.. and start her down a road of redemption?

@BubblegumQueen - You can reply again! It's just us five right now and Holy Grail is going to be a tad late.

Elise Hartell & Scarlett

"It's rare. That's good, that means this will probably work." She motioned to Scarlett before Shi asked to put her arm up. The redhead followed the directions given to her, letting the bigger sphinx sense her inner magic. After a few moments, Shi seems noticeably surprised, shaking her head and explain she sensed nothing. "Wha- ... really?" she asked, leaning on one of her hips and crossing her arms with a thoughtful expression. "... so that means... either she has a strange aura, or too much magic in her? What does that even mean?"

Without waiting for Shi to explain, Scarlett seemed to take a stab in the dark, shrugging. "Maybe ... it means.. um, whatever I'm made out of, is.. really unusual, somehow? But.. golems aren't unusual, are they? Nor have I heard of one that is particularly powerful or full of magic." Elise just shook her head for a few moments as they both seemed stumped. The pair allowed Shi to interject her own thoughts on the matter regardless.

As the sphinx spoke, Elise took in a deep breath and started to walk away. "I really should find Fionn - this might be important. Um.. you two can stay here if you want, or go by to the camp.. either way, I trust her care to you Shi. Not that she really needs it. Do need to get her a sword though before we reach the ruins," she added, realizing as talented as Scarlett was, that she probably needed to wield something. Unless she surprised them all again and could utilize martial arts. 'At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised.'

Elise Hartell & Scarlett

_@Lmpkio

Elise blinked as the sphinx trotted over, grabbing Scarlett's practice sword before putting it on the ground, confirming that it wasn't magic. To that Elise just scoffed slightly. "I shook my head.. I knew they weren't magic.." She walked up to the redhead and Shi, grabbing Scarlett's chin in her hand, turning her face over a little before letting go. "In either case, it's just a minor cut." She paused, looking to the sphinx with a puzzled look, then bending down to pick the blade up and handing it back to her training partner. "I'll be honest - I don't know of any creature that bleeds blue. Outside of some spiders, maybe.. but, uh.. I don't think you're part spider," she smirked ever-so-slightly.

Scarlett just stared at the blue stain on her hand for a few moments before looking to Elise, then up to Shi. "I'm.. not really sure what to say.. or think.." Lowering her hand slowly, grabbing the offered wooden sword as she seemed to ponder the revelation for a few moments. "Unless.. I'm.. something - like a magical being? A golem?" In truth, Scarlett could think of nothing else that would explain the present of the strange pigmented blood. Taking in a deep breath, she looked to Elise, noting the sweat still beading off of the woman's forehead while she hardly felt tired - in fact, she felt like she hadn't lost any energy at all. "... that would explain the whole.. not having to eat.. and sleep thing.." she muttered softly in thought.

"Yeah, it would," Elise admitted before reaching for Scarlett's wooden sword, deciding it was time to stop. Scarlett had made amazing progress as it was, in only an hour's time. Enough that Elise felt confident in letting her loose against the undead, even skeletons. Walking only a couple feet away as she hooked the practice blades back on her back, she turned to Shi all of a sudden, realization painted across her face. "Wait - you can sense magic in objects? Can you do that with living creatures too? Maybe if we knew how much magic was in her, we could better understand what she is." The redhead frowned softly at the reaction of her companion, moving a hand to rub her arm self-consciously. Elise knew her well enough however, in the few months they had spent together. ".. not that she's a thing mind you. Even if it turns out you're a golem, you're as much of a person as I am." She reassured the girl with a resounding confidence that seemed to ease Scarlett's mind, forcing a slight smile across her face.
