World’s Breath

@sgaoileadhcaim 

[ S ] ilently he walked through the vast forests of Middle Earth. An enigma, a mystery– no man knew his face, his name. Others might find this isolating, he found it comforting. Being alone was something he was used to, something familiar. There was no one that had to take care of him nor was there anyone that he had to care for. That is why currently the ranger wandered through the wilderness with only his shadow for company.

To the north he was headed, to reunite with his people– the Dúnedain. However, the sun was setting, and no matter how much time the man spent living among the elves he still did not have as keen a vision as they. So quickly and without a word, the ranger unloaded is supplies and set up camp for the night.

He had been through these woods many times before. He knew each tree, each branch, each leaf that blew in the breeze. However, as the moon rose and his fire crackled, there was something different. The air felt strange, as if the world was holding its breath.

As soon as the thought flashed across his mind, there was a sound behind him. A rustle of leaves, a twig snapping– then silence. His calloused hand quickly reached for the hilt of his sword, readying himself. For a few moments he paused, waiting patiently for the stranger to reveal themselves.

who goes there ? “ His voice came out stern and demanding, prepared for an attack.

Image

The moon’s rays began to kiss the cheeks of one who stepped out from the bushes; sapphire gems fall upon the wary man whose hand now rested upon the hilt of his blade. Ebony brows knitted together at the sight; he must be a cautious man if his first instinct is to grab the hilt of his blade prior to calling out to those who walk the forest at night. “Rest your hand, your blade does not need to leave its sheath.” She states her thick Scottish accent caressing her words as she spoke; the powerful witch studied him sensing for any trace of magic within him. She noticed the rest of his belongings and felt intrigue rise in her, was he a warrior? A knight perhaps? He appeared to be too disheveled for either, but looks could always be deceiving.

Rowena RavenClaw, had been traveling under the veil of night in her attempt to evade some muggle snatchers; the clans were warring again back at home. Muggle vs Purebloods. They wanted to use her as ransom from what the letter from a servant had warned her. She needed to get to Helga who was residing in Wales; but as she ventured through the glen she had heard the sounds of creatures calling to her. She had recognized one of them as a faerie’s call, it led her towards the forest where will-o-wisps were waiting.

Their blue hues lit up a small path beyond a boulder and willow tree; passing through the willow’s vines she found herself stepping into a forest she did not know. The essence that surrounded forest was both enthralling and strange to her; she felt like she had entered another world. She had been walking the path when she heard the crackling of fire it drew her in like the moth to the flame; however she had been prepared to encounter possibly someone armed and dangerous. Rowena had ensured she had her magic ready to wield without a moment’s thought.

But at the moment she found no reason to conjure her magic. The man before her did not appear to be a threat. He was far to disheveled. Her brows quiver upward as she dared to step forward. “May I join you by the pyre? I have traveled quite the while….” she adds drawing back her hood revealing her midnight locks and her features. She offered the man a kinder smile as she awaited for his reaction. Perhaps he would see her a threat? Refuse her? It would not be the first time such a thing happened to her.

[ T ] he words were light-- female-- something he had not expected. Then again, what was he expecting? Orcs? Smugglers? Travelers who stumbled upon him? All of the above? Typically, men would find the ranger-- and more often than not they were very unpleasant. However, the sound of the stranger’s words eased his nerves, albeit slightly. Not because this stranger was female, but because of their earnest tone. Strider had known countless powerful warriors that were female, gender was never something that defined a person to him. But considering past occurances, to hear the voice of a woman was bewildering. And that accent. Thick and rich, each letter rolled off her tongue like velvet. The man had heard many accents in his days but none quite like this.

image

Grey orbs shifted from the fire before him to the figure stepping out from the shadows. The moment his eyes caught her own, when her hood was removed and her locks cascaded down her shoulders, he was entranced. Never in all his years had the ranger rested his eyes upon such a woman-- a creature. No, neither could describe the being before him. Her beauty was ethereal-- enchanting. Lúthien herself would shy away at the sight. She seemed far too perfect-- too clean-- for one who has been traveling in the woods for however long. If Strider hadn’t lived among them for as long as he had, he could have sworn she was of elven descent. But then again... who’s to say she wasn’t? Her raven locks of pure midnight shielded her ears from view-- the tell tale sign of elvish heritage. 

And that is when the thought struck him. Could this be the Evenstar? For countless years Strider had grown on stories of the elleth whose beauty grew to that of Lúthien’s. Whose skin was porcelain and pure, soft to the touch and beyond perfection. Whose eyes were crystal ,clear-- holding a wisdom and a power that words could never describe. And yet for all his younger years he wondered if he was to ever meet her-- gaze upon her and her splendor. And that even though the peredhil who took him in was her father, the likelihood seemed minuscule. 

For a moment, he paused, his eyes still frozen upon her’s. Although his mind raced, he thought nothing. And although he opened his mouth to speak, he spoke nothing. His being was full of contradictions, and he could not react.

Removing his hand from his hilt, and shifting his eyes away from her form, he gestured for her to sit upon the open space before the fire. The distance from where he gestured was not too great, but not too uncomfortably close-- for she was still a stranger, and he had to keep his guard up.

image

if that is what you wish, “ he replied simply, his gaze turned downward towards the fire once more-- the previous shift within his eyes returning to their original stone-cold facade.

RPC POSITIVITY: DAY 1 + 2 MASHED TOGETHER BECAUSE I AM MULTI AF

Image

I write in tons of fandoms here, so it would only seem like a good thing to mash together day 1 and 2 of RPC POSITIVITY WEEK, which is a lovely project and I encourage you all to participate as a way for us role players to show that this community hasn’t gone downhill entirely, to show that we can still be friends and create stories together, regardless of the fandom we belong to. 

Anyway, this is a day for canon muses writers. My dudes, you rock! Like taking up a canon muse and adding up your own interpretations, making them alive, sometimes even adding more depth to them than canon writers did. You are all amazing. 

I will try to sort it out by fandoms I write in. Some of the people named here are my friends. Others I haven’t talked to or we scarcely talk, but I love you all nonetheless. If I forget someone, please forgive me! There’s so many of you here and my brain is a slippery slope sometimes. So, let’s try to get this party going.

“ [ t ] hat may be so, “ Strider started, nearing the woman, his hand placed firmly upon the hilt of his sword, “ but you cannot face these foes alone. ”

The ranger’s gaze shifted from the individual before him to the Orc group in the distance. They were creatures of darkness, foul and cruel. Strider had silently tracked them for days, watching and waiting for the right moment to strike. This specific group had devastated towns for far too long, and he had intended to end it all. However their numbers were far too great– and he was only one man, regardless of skill.

Carelessness [OPEN RP]

[ A ] skilled swordsman was the hooded ranger-- swift and graceful, each step light, each movement calculated. Silently he fought, like many times before, alone. The sun was setting around him as the trees cast their dark shadows, elongated, watching. The sound of bodies hit the ground in soft thuds. One by one his enemies fell, soft grunts and howls escaping their filthy lips. Orcs. They had followed him for miles, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack. However, they were not expecting the strange man to put up such a fight. They obviously did not know who they were dealing with.

With steadied breaths, Strider struck the final Orc; its body falling to the ground. After a few moments of catching his breath, the man stood up straight, moving to sheath his weapon. Before he was able to however, he paused. His eyes narrowed as he listened for a moment, believing he had heard something-- anything. Before he had anytime to react, an arrow was shot in his direction. The ranger made a move to dodge it, and no matter the amount of experience or training he had received, he was not quick enough to evade it. 

Image

Searing pain pierced his flesh as the arrow found its mark; his leg. Collapsing to a knee, Strider hissed as his head whirled to the side-- trying to get a glimpse of the aggressor. It was another Orc, one who evaded his attack earlier. As the creature snarled and fled, Strider cursed his carelessness and the shaft that stuck out from his leg.

I’m back

{ H } ello everyone ! 

I have no idea if anyone still follows this account, and to those who do- I don’t know if they’re still active.

But I’m back!!

I left originally for a number of reasons-- to focus on my school work, to focus more on cosplay since I’m extremely passionate about that, as well as SFX makeup and such. I had also reached a point where roleplaying wasn’t enjoyable anymore. It felt more like a chore than anything else.

So I felt a break was needed.

But this account has always been my favourite, and not a day went by that I didn’t miss it!

So here I am. This account though will most certainly be Semi-Active. My work comes first!

I will also be cleaning this account out again because I seriously don’t remember where I left off on.

( I haven’t roleplayed in a few years now as well, so I’m terribly rusty. Be gentle! )

(Dragon Age has also been one of my number fandoms for the past couple of years, ever since I left this account, so I’m going to have to flush out the elvish in my mind from that. The languages are different, Ash, don’t use it here! Darn you Solas *shakes fist* )
