Up Comes the Sun

Vitralese

Vitralese felt a shift in the darkness, looking up from her book as she felt the presence of her sister entering the mountain castle their father had created in the side of a dark and tall mountain. Vita set her book aside quickly and stood, her heavy white dress trailing as she made her way from her small private library. Vitralese was the Shade’s favored child and her lodging reflected it. She was housed with the shade in a small wing that sat in the back of the mountain where there were no windows and light made it through, if the dark clouds had ever let any through any way. She had barely stepped out of the library into the rock hallway where floating orbs lit the black and jagged walls, wet with a dew that seemed to come from the mountain, when Vita felt her sister suddenly disappear. It seemed father had wished to speak to Arralina, which meant something was up. As much as the Shade liked Vita her detested her sister and was not one for idle chatter with the woman.

Vita was not keen to go to her father unsummoned but her sister’s sudden appearance and disappearance was too much of a curiosity for her to ignore. She made her way to through the damp halls, empty but for her presence…empty due to it as well, and arrived as the invisible door way to her father’s chambers. She stopped before an apparently blank rocky wall and took a deep breath before speaking softly “Father” and seeing the rock split in two. She had half hoped he would not answer but now it was too late. She stepped between the rocken slabs and into a room that seemed to never end before coming to a ledge where the floor dropped out and stood. As she watched the abyss changed as the fog swirled about and the room turned into a throne room with a deep vaulted ceiling painted with images horrifying enough to send a human to madness. As the floor solidified Vitralese stepped forward down the long deep red carpet, her heart pounding, till she reached the steps and dropped to the floor, her dress fanned out about her and her head lowered. It was only then that the shade appeared, materializing in his throne.

"Vitra, come closer my child and let me see you properly." He extended his hand, long fingers beckoning the beautiful woman to move toward him. He waited not for her to speak, pull pulled her to stand just before him, the very essence of her innocence almost overwhelming. "You will not attend the task I've given Arralina. Do you understand child? My time with you is yet to come, but it will be soon and I would rather not travel across the planes of time to do so."

Vitralese took her father’s hand and stood, small and delicate next to the shade who had already altered his size to be less daunting to the half human woman. As he spoke Vitralese looked at the shade and nodded, she would never argue him directly. “Is there something the matter?” Her voice was soft, as one not often used.

"The matter is very simple, Vitra. You will not be put in harms way nor will you damage yourself in a fight. You are chosen to sire my next child. Simply no." He pulled her closer and began to inspect her, his gaze heavy and pressed against the poor young woman.

Vitralese stood still as the shade looked her over. His powerful gaze was one of the traits the shade had passed to his own daughter, one he prized in her and hopefully their future children. Where incest warped most children the shade hoped its unnaturalness would only strengthen his own. Besides, he knew Vitra to be strong, a thing she now relied on. "I am strong father. I would slaughter any who might be fool enough to attack me." She felt her energy pulse with excitement. It had been so long since she had been out. "I wish only to prove myself to you."

He closed his eyes for a moment, looking deep into the hidden curves of the future and nodded his approval. "Do not disappoint me and you are forbidden from sharing my plans for you with the others." He growled softly and caressed her face, his body strong and lithe as he moved past her and opened the edge of the cave. "Speak not of this to Arralina. She hates me more than most others and might find a way to hurt you in lieu of me."

“Yes my lord.” Vitra bowed again till he disappeared. It was a few moments later that she made her way from the throne room and back to her own. She needed to collect some things before leaving to find her sister. A half hour arrived she stepped forward into the light of the fire and smiled, a deep red cloak following her. “Lina my sister.” She smiled at the woman, stepping toward her glad to finally see her once again.

Apparently X is a bad boy now. When did this happen? Did you miss me that much?

Up Comes the Sun

Hunter CS:
Name:Arlese

Age:102

Appearance:


Home Country: The White Kingdom. Arlese is from the elvish kingdom deep in the White Bark Woods which lies east of Aldin (two day to the edge of the forest and four more to the kingdom). It is said the kingdom glistens in the sun, its building made of pure white marble and stone, bright flowering trees and bushes litter the palace and every kind of animal is safe there. Of course that land has not been seen for centuries and so the elves are thought to be extinct or even simply a myth.

Background: Arlese was born and raised in the white kingdom, born to a family of high status and soon after dedicated to The Woad, the protection and worship of nature. It was with this future in mind that Arlese was raised to never eat meat, know another's touch, and prepare for the fight of dark creatures that would seek to destroy their land. As she grew Arlese became one of the best, a Woman of the Woad by her 80s and the youngest ever. As the elves felt the power of the shade and his children grow they strengthened their defenses and prepared, till a message from a human king arrived and Arlese was chosen to travel for the first time in a long time to travel outside the White Woods, the first time in centuries to do so with the human's awareness.

Strengths:
Increases fitness: As an elf Arlese is extremely physically capable. She can out run any human or witch, jump into a tall tree with little effort, and moves with the grace that can only come from inhuman flexibility and a light step.

Forest Affinity: Arlese was raised exclusively in the forest and so knows many of nature’s secretes and is close to those animals that inhabit it. She can move through them almost undetectable, never gets lost, and has increased damage when fighting inside woodlands.

Purity: Arlese is a Woman of the Woad and so has been raised to be extremely pure of heart and spirit. Because of this she has an increased resistance to dark magic as well as possessing weapons that have been passed down by generations of Woad warriors and have increased in power with every elf, giving it more lethality against dark creatures.

Weakness: PMed

Weapons: Long handled sword

Hunting bow

Additional Info: Arlese has a ‘stead’ of types that she calls “Boleo”

Up Comes the Sun

I imagine he would have known of me, if only as a child, so it wont be all too surprising. I wonder if the would have some sort of magical connection because of the closeness of their powers?
