Current I think watching fight scenes can help in general terms with writing combat, since it can give you an idea of flow and choreography.

At least if you're writing something you know, with knights.

I mean, depends on what you're writing, and the tone and theme of what you're writing. Trained armored knights were legitimately monstrous on the battlefield, so looking up how they fought helps.

As much as there's a lot of reasons twitter sucks, I genuinely don't want to see it die for the sake of all the artists who now rely on it. Hoping the shithead stops trying to directly administrate.

Fiddling with her staff nervously, Sefira didn't exactly know how to respond to being asked if she wanted her clothing washed. It definitely needed it, literally everything was soaked in gunk. And she didn't want to try doing it herself. But that meant... Not being clothed. Even sooner then she intended.

But damn it, she couldn't just stand here like this!

"Y-yes that's... just... just get them clean," she said, finally, shifting awkwardly from one foot to the other. Given the fact that there was goo in her boots, this made some unpleasant squelching noises.

"Did... did anyone see any clear water on the way here?" asked the petite blonde elf. She hadn't been looking, herself, but it was only obvious that she badly needed the most thorough bath she could get. Something like a real bath would have been the best, but Sefira doubted that the game world becoming real had somewhat spawned bathing areas out in the wild. Thus, clean, clear water would have to suffice.

"Doesn't it feel like something's about to happen? Doesn't it!? Doesn't it?!"

The doll's pale hair bounced as she jumped up and down in place.

"... I suppose, but I'm not sure why you're so excited," commented the blonde doll, glancing over her shoulder, "Just because something's going to happen doesn't mean it's going to be good. We should be on guard."

Before the first doll could reply, the other, sitting opposite on the desk, faced away from the blonde doll, spoke up, brushing her white hair back.

"On guard? Perhaps that's a good idea for someone as pathetic as you, but I am always ready to pierce any target that Mistress requires me to," she commented with a chuckle, a smirk on her lips.

"Hmph."

The blonde doll glared over her shoulder.

"Sitting there and bragging doesn't help, either."

The first doll's shoulders sagged.

This was no good at all...




The girl took a deep breath.

The timing was crucial.

Magic was not simply a matter of desiring something. It was a matter of knowing how to go about obtaining that desire. Only a fool would think you could practice magic with wishful thinking. Knowledge, too, was required.

Knowledge of conditions, of one's own limits, of one's surroundings, of the manner in which a given spell was cast.

She brushed her hair lengthy purple hair back, pointing the sword skywards. Her appearance was almost like that of a child. Indeed, there were few who would be able to tell the difference, given her short stature and youthful looks, even on close inspection.

But she was Fio Fan Fallise, the Sword Witch. And she was going to ensure her practice went off without a hitch. Was it important in the grand scheme of things? Perhaps not.

But timing this spell to the first rays of sunlight was important. It was utility-based, but involved specific locations of the stars and the sun. Not her usual forte, perhaps, but in terms of battlefield analysis it could allow much longer-ranged attacks.

Launching an attack from across an entire battlefield would become possible. Even without being able to see the enemy, if she could target them using this spell then she wouldn't need to see them.

But why was she doing this in the first place?

To assist the Queen?

Fio wasn't completely certain. She wasn't even completely certain she was even who she claimed she was. But at the same time, there was nothing wrong with expanding her repertoire. If she practiced this spell enough, she wouldn't necessarily require this specific timeframe as long as she had enough awareness of the locations of certain celestial bodies...

Now it was time to begin.

She pointed the blade skywards, taking a deep breath. She would begin casting-

"Mistress!"

Only for the voice of one of her dolls to completely break her focus.

"..."

Fio lowered the sword with a heavy sigh.

"... What."

It wasn't a question so much as a statement. A rather flat one.

"Er..." Tirani hesitated, "Mieka and Kukkuro are fighting again..."

Fio brought her palm to her face. Seriously? Tirani interrupted her for this!? They were always fighting! They never got along even once! What did she expect?!

"You seriously-"

And then there was another interruption. A far more important one.

The ringing of bells.

The city was under attack.

"... Go back home, Tirani, and tell Mieka and Kukkuro."

She had to get to the walls. Even if she wasn't certain about the Queen's identity, she was certain that she wouldn't let a single attacker through.
  • Name: Fio Fan Fallise, also known as the Sword Witch
  • Age: 20
  • Gender: Female
  • Appearance: "Hmph. Just wait and see what this witch can do." A very petite girl, easily mistaken for a child even on close examination. She resents this.
  • Abilities: A highly capable witch, from a bloodline of magic users lasting back to the ancient king's times. Fio's catalyst is a sword, with a slender and elegant blade and a blue and gold hilt. She cannot fight reliably with it, but it is an excellent catalyst for casting spells all the same. Her chief method of offense is the conjuration of Phantom Swords, though she can use other forms of magic she favors Phantom Swords for her most direct and powerful method of dealing damage, as the Phantom Swords have considerable armor-piercing capabilities even in their base state when fired as projectiles. Her personal durability is quite low, and thus Fio also has capability in barrier spells in order to protect herself from being harmed. By casting a spell and attaching modifiers to it(such as summoning a number of Phantom Swords then adding commands to repeat the process to add more swords) she can alter it or increase its effects.
    Additionally, she possesses three doll familiars. These familiars are intelligent and have their own personalities, feelings, and specialities.
  • History: Fio's family has practiced magic for a considerable amount of time. It is said that she is descended from a court mage of the Ancient King, and her sword catalyst was a gift to her ancestor that has been passed down through the generations to her. Living in a secluded place, a small but remarkably cozy home, she swiftly gained a reputation as a witch due to her rather irritable interactions with travelers and her rather obvious usage of magic. Given her unique usage of a sword as her catalyst, she has been called both the Sword Witch. Needless to say, given her family history, it was only obvious that she would come to accompany one claiming to be a reincarnation of the King, if only out of curiosity. Can she really be what she claims to be?
  • Anything else: Fio is a rather irritable girl who does not tolerate foolishness. While she hates being mistaken for a child, she has childish mannerisms such as a love of sweet things and a fascination with dolls and small, cute animals. Regardless, she is still a capable practioner of magic and will quickly remind anyone in doubt over her abilities of that fact. Personally, she is not at all certain if Sorcha is what she claims to be. Rather, she desires to find that out for herself, her curiosity being the main reason for her presence to begin with. While her irritable personality can make her rather grating to be around, she does not take alliances lightly and possesses a deep hatred for those who would betray the trust of others.
I hope your knee gets better soon!

    • Mieka: Fond of tea and with a surprisingly demanding personality, Mieka is most often used as an assistant. She is a ladylike girl who insists on ladylike treatment for both herself and her Master. While her offensive power is low as expected, her capacity to manifest small shards of glass as projectiles can serve as a painful distraction.
    • Tirani: In spite of her deadpan look, Tirani is the most childish and playful of the three. She likes sweet things even more then her Master, and has a habit of trying to get her fellow dolls to play games with her. She has absolutely no offensive power, but can provide some assistance in battle via short-range binding spells in the form of vines that spring from the ground and wrap around a target's legs.
    • Kukkuro: The least polite of the three dolls. Possessed of a derisive personality prone to degrading others with her words(even more then her creator does), Kukkuro often clashes with Mieka. She has the highest offensive capacity of the three dolls, wielding a large knife that can shed its own edge in the form of a sort of razor mist.

I actually have a character idea now and will hopefully be signing her up soon!
How is everyone enjoying things so far? I hope this part isn't too slow. ^^;
As Alasayana's teeth sunk into the flesh of the creature, it let out one final hoot before finally going limp. It merely twitched a few times afterwards, before stillness completely took it. This did allow the goddess to get a sense of the texture of its meat and the possibility of any toxins. The neck meat was definitely fairly tough, but it also did not appear to be poisonous in any way.

From some distance away, the others of its kind peered through the foliage. Several let out more of their melodic hooting, before disappearing from view again.

Already, it seemed her hunt had caught some notice, the distance sight of what appeared to be several birds alighting on the trees far above, watching as she dragged it back to the others. A few stranger, glassy-winged creatures seemed to drift above as well, keeping track of her movements.

When She reached the others, and Flora was asked about poison and her diet, the small, pale girl fidgeted slightly as she clutched at Ashte's horns.

"I d-don't think so?" she began, "Um, they're..."

She trailed off. She'd never seen what some of her food looked like before being prepared, and Sir Oren had never shown her what it looked like when he hunted.

"Um, oh I... I don't think I would do... any of that..." she added to Ashte's line of questioning. She wasn't sure exactly why Ashte was worried about any of that, but she must have had a reason. Flora herself had never experienced any of these things happening to her, and thus she had to assume they couldn't. But when Aureia raised the matter of fire, the little priestess perked up.

"There's a plant!" Flora declared, "U-um... S-Sir Oren showed me, er... it's... there's something that comes out of the flowers that makes lighting fires really easy..."

Raising her hands, she appeared to try illustrating a conical, hanging shape, gesturing slowly.

"They hang down from big vines."

Meanwhile, O'Menus's search would not prove unfruitful. It seemed as if one of the large trees had fallen, creating a small clearing in the forest. It was mattered with hanging vegetation, secularly leaning against another, even larger dead tree that seemed just as likely to never budge. This created something of natural, partial shelter.

Surrounding it were numerous mushrooms of various sizes, and from atop it several long, grey-furred mammals with sinuous bodies and tufted ears peered at him curiously.

Perhaps it would be best to make certain such an ideal spot was safe, first, however...

At least they'd managed to bring plenty of fish back...

But walking back while soaking wet and covered in whatever slime was at the bottom of that body of water was not exactly a fun time.

"Don't mention it," responded Sefira, scowling at Yu as she spoke, feeling a glob of something drip from her hair. Aaah, she needed a bath so badly...!

"... I... need somewhere private where I can wash all... a-all of this off," she said, flatly, after finding a spot to deposit all the fish. There were a considerable number of complications when it came to the matter of cleaning herself up, but at the same time the petite elf absolutely could not tolerate sitting around like this.

Sefira could feel the goo on her skin, under her clothing.

It felt horrendous.
