Riftmancy Dev

[09:59] Nena was just looking around for her grandkid. She seemed to be carrying a very well crafted blade on her. The hilt was the only thing to go off of, but it was detailed and beyond well constructed. The scabbard was a strange blue wood with many runes running it's surface with leylines connecting them.

"Oh!" She thought she saw her grandkid, and maybe it got their attention. Clearly Nena was moving her head far to fast. There really was no way for her to dicpher who was who.

"Oops, sorry about that I thought you were my grandkid." She laughed warmly.
(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:09] Early in the morning, the Rhonyish found himself lost once more in the top of the mountain.

Cool winds whipped around through the howling morning, embers from magma pools illuminated the surrounding area, lighting passageways for many including himself and now?

He found himself on an elegantly made wooden bridge that expanded the reach of the Coat to it's other half.

"Hello there."

Greeting the Drakanite warmly, he smiled at the mistake that Nena had taken him for. Someone that may or may not be her grandson. Golden hues extended, looking over their posture as he made several notations including the hilt that protruded from their cloak, only revealing it's scabbard along with several runes running along it's surface. Truly a mastercraft of work and to be even recognized by an untrained eye? He figured for it to be powerful.

"It'd be an honor to be cared and loved by someone like you. Your aura is truly magnificent."

A hand extended, reaching for one of their own if it was available before taking it and raising it up to his lips for a gentle kiss.

"I'm Acheron, and I must say. Is the Coat full of wonderful people as such?"

His hand would release Nena's from his own as piercing golds met her gaze.
(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:09] * You have been awarded 10 Roleplay Points! *
[10:16] Nena smiled warmly. Her aura was innately warm and felt almost like an embrace. Comforting to be sure. What added to it was the fact that she produced a nominal amount of heat similar to a little space heat!

Clearly she was flattered. "Thank you! You are very kind." Allowing the hand kiss she laughed warmly again. People were so polite to the elderly. Though she didn't quiet look it she was seventy eight.

Though talking about the Coat Nena nodded proudly. "It is! Doriya, Driyar, Rust, and any of my grandkids are very wonderful people!" She prepared to introduce herself her metallic wings spread proudly and many different types of magic appeared at each of the tips. It was hard to count, but it seemed she had every magic from energy, to plasma.

"I am Nena Argyris! Metal Drakanite, Master of the Elements, Legendary Grand Artificer, Pursuer of Golems, Designer of the Dragon Forge, and Grandmother to fourteen!" This was the way she always introduced herself. She found it fun.
(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:36] It wasn't a usually feeling to feel to drawn to someone, especially towards an someone you've just met.

Her presence was almost intoxicating, like being drawn to your lover for another kiss. He couldn't express it in words, but the feeling that washed over him made him feel as if he could confide in them with any troubles. That all the problems that had ever plagued him would instantly wash away with the matter of one kiss. That she could rid away all of his travesties with just a smile, and hopefully a dozen freshly baked cookies on the side!

Pulling back, he stood tall once more to only ear a melodic laughter to fill his ears. Such volumes bursting with warmth and love, clearly showing that she had lived a joyous life and surrounded by plenty who cared for them.

Something most would kill to have, yet little would be remembered as such. If anything, none.

"Doriya, Driyar, Rust, and grandchildrens."

Acheron noted each word, burning those names into his mental so that he could never forget as golden piercers watched how her metallic wings swept against the cold winds proudly. Whilst various magic adorned the tips of her metallic wings, some unknown while others seemed garnered attention with a recollection in mind.

"Isn't that quite the handful Nena Argyis, Metal Drakanite, Master of Elements and Legendary Grand Artificer. Pursuer of Golems and Designer of the Dragon Forge." he smiled warmly, "Can't forget being a Granmother of fourteen."

Laughter escaped as a hand rose to muffle the humor he found in such.

"It's a pleasure to properly meet you Nena- Do you mind if I call you by your first name?" he asked before continuing on, "Also, if I do say. Even though your a grandmother, you're as becoming as a woman in her prime if I must do say myself."

"Perfect without any flaws."




(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[10:48] Nena nodded hearing all her titles back to her. Seemingly pleased with how it sounds repeated. Having live for so long, and experiencing so much she had gathered plenty of titles. Those were the ones she was happy to say at the very least.

The laugh from Acheron made her smile. Having others being happy around her is what she lived for. "You may call me Nena! I'm not much for formalities. Besides calling me all those things every time would take up so many moments, easier if not done." She laughed, and smiled as she was flattered more.

Perfect without any flaws? That was very kind and silly as Nena was even in old age. Seemingly she refused all her life to be anything other than she was. That meant acting and being how she wanted. She curtsied to Acheron.

"What flattery! Thank you very much. I have something my Master, and one of her..." Hmm, how to say this. "Friends came up with to thank for looking the way I do. It's a sort of superficial time magic. Being a magi doesn't hurt either." Thinking for a moment she tapped her chin wings flapping lightly. The top spikes of the wings had runs on them that glowed a faint warm red.

"Oh! Right, I live for making people things. If you ever need any weapons or armor please let me know. I don't charge anyone as long as they provide the ore. Seeing their connections to the personalized items I make is reward enough." Though that made it so that she often relied on other's kindness in return to survive. Seemingly though it worked out. Never asking for anything and giving others her full attention had mad her last this long.
(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:09] Once more, her laughter filled him once more. Granting his golden hues to clash against her color eyes.

"To be honored to refer to you by your first name brings me quite the joy." he smiled, "As for all of the formalities? It does seem to be a mouthful doesn't it? I'll be sure to keep it at Nina."

A moment of surprise followed!

"Oh? Well I love to believe in the very kind words that my parents had once said to me. 'That anything is possible in the realm of Eternia'." he quoted, "And by that, I so graciously live by."

They lived in a world were it was possible to meet the children of divines, that at any moment you could be blessed by god themselves or be sent to Hel to live with Azrael and the rest who were condemned to such a fate. The moon was possible for transport, alongside various other entities that could kill you just by a singular touch.

In their life, in this world. Anything was possible as long as your were willing enough to rub the elbow grease in it! Good or bad, it could come true if you were willing enough.

"Seeing as how your a master of elements as well, I can see how such a thing was possible." he inclined his head, agreeing with their previous statement.

Then the word for a craftsmanship reached his ear.

"Actually... I'm in a dire need for a ring or amulet. By chance would you have the ore to curate those items? I would offer my own. However, I'm afraid that I only have a couple thousand coin to my name and nothing more."

"I recently came to Esshar and I can't help but say." He observed the becoming sight that is Nena. "It's been nothing but beautiful."
(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:21] At this point Nena made a point to acknowledge how good he was with words. She truly believed it would take him extremely far on it's own.

"Your parents are very much in the right. I've seen a lot happen. I've made some weapons that were wielded by amazing fighters. One of which was a gun blade that shot bullets that poisoned the soul, and ripped through dimensions." She nodded. While she was super friendly and bubbly when it came to her creations she made them in accordance to her crazy designs and what would fit the person. The gun blade she was speaking of was a special one indeed.

"I can certainly make you a ring or amulet! Did you have any designs or instructions you would like me to follow for it?" Since she didn't know if it was for him, or for someone else he knew she decided to leave the questions for broad.

Excitedly hearing that he had just come to Esshar she smiled. "I see! I remember when I first arrived. It was amazing and I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I envy everything that you'll get to experience! When I first came here I had a very warm welcome since I already knew what group I should go to! Though the Coat I think that either way the people of the Coat are the friendliest and best there are in Esshar."

Clearly it was a very biased perspective, but it was probably true as well. Cold weather; warm, and passionate people.
(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:43] Each time Nena blushed, it was met with his own charming smile. Surely if he was born a little bit earlier, or if she was born just a tid bit later. Something could've sparked, but at least the two could still have fun with another if that position ever played itself between the two.

"Yes they are, it's kind of hard to deny it when... Garljing? I believe? Is sitting on top of this mountain right? When the child of a divine is literally within a couple days journey. It's hard not to believe it you know?

But speaking about a weapon that could poison the soul and rip through dimensions..."

His pupils widened as awe crowded his face, not even moments later would he then playfully laugh at the realization. No one would boost of being capable of creating such a weapon without it being true.

Especially since they were a Legendary Artificer.

"Speaking of such a powerful weapon. Could you make something similar for me? However, instead of a gun blade. A Scythe?"

Then it came to the details that would be used to create the various materials he wished for.

"Both the ring and amulet would be used to grant me vigor. More sustain to keep me in good health really. Just for now though. I'll definitely come to you later when I have another idea of something unique for a amulet and ring. Possibly something that would be used to be an heirloom throughout my family." he sighed with relief to dream of such.

To be able to live that long and have children that is.

Standing back, he took in her words, adhering to their words as it was obvious that she was biased to the place that favored Drakanites amongst anywhere else on Esshar. Yet, it could certainly be useful to pick more from her brain about the ongoings, relations and more that happens throughout the Coat.

"I've had quite the experience at the Starfall Academy! It was pretty welcoming to me and I've already met a handful of friends too. Everyone was helpful in showing me to my dormitory and showing me around, like the gym, the baths, and even the library.

But I went to Osrona moments later to see them bickering about the death and sacrifice of two individuals known as Eliphas and Yiras, and how someone named Alexander is in their presence. Also that Alexander is a grave robber and they're trying to figure out what to do with them."

He shrugged, seeing as how that problem wasn't his for now. But he hoped that it wouldn't bother him in the future.

(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[11:55] Nena nodded stoicly. Though clearly she couldn't hold the look for long. "He is! The mighty Red Titan, and of course he was attributed with being the first to create the Drakanites." They visited him every five years. That was always fun.

"I could for certain! I would recommend two things for you to do first though! Get some soul steel and bask it in the energy between realms. Though to do this I encourage you to learn Rift Magic! Some additional rare materials will also be needed, but if I can get that one rift energy infused soul steel, or really anything of similar properties I'll be able to make the scythe for you!" Truly amazing weapons needed amazing materials. She already had a design in mind for the scythe.

"I can make those for you! Just as always whatever material you want me to use you should bring to me. I'm sure you'll be very happy with it, and it would be an honor to make an heirloom for you. I'm sure your heirs will treasure it." As though she was certain he would have such people to pass it down to. The kid was bright, and had a way with words. That was enough in Esshar for sure!

"I was thinking about becoming a teacher for the Academy at one point! Before the idea was claimed by Osrona there was a man name Tontil who was going to make one for the Moxitili in the same spot, but he had died. I was helping him with the creation. I'm still glad to see it finished at least by others. It was a great idea!"

Listening to him it was clear he was good at taking in other's words and learning from being around others. That was a very useful tool. "I see, that all sounds really interesting. There tends to be a lot of interesting things in Esshar, and I'm happy to say war isn't as big as when I was young."
(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:20] Golden orbs matched her stoic nod, causing him a slight problem as he wondered if he may have said something unorthodox to grant him such a tense response.

But his troubles were relieved as an energetic outburst arose, filling him with information about the fact how each Drakanite born from Esshar were probably granted their form from the primordial instead of it's father. Ryujin.

"Ooh? One day I'd love to go visit them! I'm sure that the two of us would find the other quite interesting." he chuckled lightly at the very thought. As his emotions flooded his face with ambition. To meet the Great Red, the Dragon that held untoldable gold?! Fortunes unknown to any who hasn't been accepted the very primordial!? The being that was able to create Drakanites known and unknown!?!

Such an idea filled him whole!

Now came the idea for his scythe.

"Huh..."

Taken aback from such bluntness, he was surprised how they were so open to speak about Rift Magic! An sacred art that was known near and far, one capable of tearing reality between your fingers. To warp between reality and bend it to your will. To distort time and space itself to your benefactor.

"Rift magic... Huh... I never thought about that."

He smiled at the mere thought, to be capable of harnessing the power for himself? The potential would be unimaginable.

"Do you know of anyone who could teach me such a thing? Someone who's already capable of utilizing Rift Magic?"

If they were able to make it, it would only make sense for him to put in the rest of the effort to make it happen.

"Can I just say.. That you kindness and love knows no bounds, and that I appreciate you more than you will hopefully come to know?"

A kind gesture, but one that he meant deeply.

"I'm sure that it would be a masterwork ofan heirloom, and certainly something that would be able to be passed down for generations." he agreed, "I'd want for the scythe to be capable to rip asunder the souls and dimensions alike. And give me a couple of years and I'll come back with the materials and the item known as soul steel."

"It's a promise."

Then he jumped at the idea of them becoming a teacher!

"You should become a teacher! Everyone would surely love you there, including.. well? Myself."

His words once again rung true.

"It's a shame that your friend had died before being able to complete their work, but at least it now lives on as something created for all new magi to develop themselves."

Then the mention of war..

"Yeah... It was a bit much but it seemed that Osrona was willing to overlook the ordeal that Moxtli had done. It really doesn't bother me for now, and I hope it doesn't prove to be a problem later."

That would create too many problems for him to deal with. Especially with his now troubling task of finding someone to teach him rift magic.


(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:35] She laughed warmly at the prospect of going up to Garlijing. While she would love to now a days it would be difficul; Never being a fighter, and being old now as well would make it dangerous for her. Though if she could get her old armor imported then it would be possible!

"It would be interesting! As for those who know rift magic I only knew one and that was Kirk. My master new Wayfinding, and worked on an old Therian project that involved rift magic. I think if you were to uncover the old building and explore into the basement the papers and documents should still be there!" As far as she knew by what Estra told her that was the most advanced piece of rift magic that was ever made. A gauntlet of sorts. Other than that I'm sure the school could also point you in another correct direction!" While Rift magic was the more dangerous counterpart to Wayfinding it also severed as a more combat read form. On top of that Nena saw nothing wrong in the accumulation of power. After all Rift magic is using your pure force of will to tear a hole into the aether. Meaning that innately you were in control. At least at the beginning.

More praise made her beam happily. Pride welling up inside her. "Thanks! I try my best to do so." Though more than she will come to know? Unsure about that. Not dwelling on it to long she continues to listen. More so because the thing they talked about next was the heirloom.

"I'll be waiting until then! I'm sure I won't have to wait to long at all! I'll hold you to the promise." She nodded at him confident in where his growth was going.

"I'll look into it again! I want to teach some students and there are many in-depth rune and blacksmithing techinques that I think would benefit plenty of people. Not to mention many history lessons I would be able to tell about the time beforef the Cataclysm." The war between Osrona and Moxtli. Nena was talking about the great series of wars that occurred when she came here between all the faction that were here, before the vampires and mutants came. Though still what he said was true.

It hit her jus then. "Right! Try not to tell Moxitli or an Teraphim that you are looking to practice rift magic. They don't really view it as just another magic. At least most of them!" She gave him a soft, encouraging smile with a thumbs up.


(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[12:57] "It would? Wouldn't it?"

As for the rest? He stood back and smiled at the interesting findings. He couldn't believe that he was lucky enough to meet her, especially at this space in time? It would only help him further his own goals from his hard work from now. If he were to accomplish all that he could from a young age, the impossible would be in an arms reach once he becomes an adult.

Little did she know, they were creating a force to be reckoned with. A powerful magi indeed.

"I'll definitely head out and try to find that project as soon as possible. Hopefully I'll be able to uncover hidden papers or documents that you mentioned."

It was as if the universe had laid out a plan, perfectly fixed towards his liking and literally created a moment for the two to interact and come upon this magnificent discovery.

"As much as I'd like to go another way... I don't think that the Academy would welcome such a creation. On top of.. I'd rather do this the fun way."

He winked playfully at the metal drakan, adding to his already irresistible charm.

"You don't have to try when you already are amazing Nena."

It was true, their aura was already intoxicating enough. Something that literally made him leap bounds forward. She was humble, and not too boastful about her abilities. One that made you love who she was, and not grow irritated by someone bragging about the possibilities.

A true, loving companion.

"And yes, after that. All I need to acquire is a soul steel and we'll be on our way to create such a weapon."

That and many more, he wondered what else he'd be able to add to this weapon of mass destruction.

"But yes."

He nodded his head at the mention of them thinking of joining the Academy. It would be something that fit right into their criteria. They were helpful, and more knowledgeable than many. Their gifts and talents would certainly prove vital in the next generation's growth. Including his own.

"Really? I could only imagine what gifts you would have to share with the world." he agreed, "I'm sure that you and the Headmaster would get alone perfectly. Please do come by whenever you have the free time. If the Headmaster isn't there, try to find a kind girl named Thyme. She's very informative and is the president of the Student Council."

Fate had treated him so, Nena was full of unspoken truths and tales that could run as long as Esshar is wide. He would only hope that he'd live long enough to accumulate every bit knowledge they had to share. Knowledge was power, and he believed that more than anything.

"!!!"

He jumped slightly at the more pressing news, how not to inform any one from Moxtli of his true goals. As rift magic would throw them in for a loop and rather have him off dead than to understand his true goals.

"I'll make note of that haha."

In response, he'd throw up his own set of thumbs ups.

"Thank you.. For everything."
(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:08] A wide smile covered her face. "I hope you can find it, because I could also use that same exact information to improve your scythe! If you gathered enough resources I could make your scythe capable of slicing portals to other dimensions entirely." Since the project in Theria was a rift guanlet capable of traversing any realm it would be very possible to recreate something similar.

"It'll be dangerous, so make sure to grow fairly strong first!" The wink made her laugh along with the idea of doing things the fun way. Of course, what other way would there be worth pursuing?!

Another flattering at this rate Nena's ego would soar to high. Though she really appreciated it. "Thank you!" Humble, might not be the word for it as she did brag her titles even if it was partly in jest.

"And yeap! After you aquire the knowledge of rift magic the Soul steel will allow us to create a dimension splitting blade! Of course it can always be improved more and more as need be." Seemed he was also thinking about the improvements that could be made.

Naturally that's what Nena always jumped to. "I'll head over to the Academy a bit later when I get the chance. I have to talk to some of my grandkids at the moment. I'll remember Thyme. You'll know when I've gotten a chance, because a class with follow shortly."

She gave a kind nod and a curtsy to the boy. "No worries, anytime, and always happy to help. Now I must go find one of my grandkids to give them this Vibroblade." A blade capable of vibrating at subsonic speeds creating a rather savage cutting edge.


(Nena Argyris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:28] Acheron pulled at the side of his scarf, exposing his lips as the very air he breathed turned into frost before disappearing to the side.

"If your going to be create something on that magnitude, then I'll definitely be on the look out for such an item. Don't worry, it'll probably take a year to gather all of the gear I'll need. Including people that I trust to depart with me on such a journey."

Theria was at the tallest peaks of Esshar, at least that's what he heard. However, what sat on top of the tallest peak also sat the Great Red Titan. Garljing, the primordial itself.

Such a thought illuminated his determination once more. As he hungered to meet the fabled primordial that once laid war to Osrona.

"Don't mention it. I just hope that one day I'll be able to return the pleasures that you give me. Knowledge is king after all."

Piercing golds looked over the Drakanite, interested in the anatomy that separated them apart. To imagine to have wings of your own, to be capable of fly as your own extension beated against the wind. Such an idea was unfathomable to him.

"But yes, a quality blade that'll enable to tear dimensions and souls alike? Sounds only like a weapon worthy to be wielded by me."

It was big words to fill, yet. He was confident that he'd be able to accomplish the impossible. To become one of the strongest magi's that Esshar will ever come to know, and one that would shape the future of the peninsula for years to come.

But he was determined to see it through.

"Oh? Well can't wait to see you in class. Perhaps I'll even bring you an apple." he jested with a light laugh.

"O and yes, don't let me hold you. Let the family know I said Hi. Hopefully we'll be able to become great friends in the possible future. I do plan to become a fireblooded myself one day. I just have to find a Dragonlord I believe? I spoke to Fuji the other day and he informed me as such."

Golden hues canted, observing the silent hums that resonated from the blade at their side. "They're lucky to have someone like you at their side."
(Acheron Erebus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[13:28] * You have been awarded 10 Roleplay Points! *
[13:37] Nena smiled seeing how determined he was. Plus the confidence he held was bound to strengthen his direction. Act and behave to what you want to achieve, and the rest will follow!

"If you learn anything interesting let me know then, but I'm still happy to help you grow." She gave another warm smile. Bringing her an apple made her smile.

"You may be a bit ahead of the rest on my favorite student, but more than an apple a piece of ore would be just as appreciated." Nena was a hoarder when it came to ores. She use to have a collection of over 1000 ores in total.

"I look forward to the blood of fire running through you soon then! Both my kids are Dragonlords so that could be a good place to start!"

"I'm lucky to have such great grandkids! They are all really nice. Aki will love their new blade." She then rushes off to try to find their grandkid. Waving happily to him she offs. "Have an amazing day!"
