005 [Voice/Action]

[Karla is...confused, to say the least. She didn't know who she was...but she hasn't thought about it either. She only thought of herself as just a girl, looking for her big brother. Others saw her as the Princess of Swords, a devastating warrior whose skill and beauty was talked about all over Elibe. She didn't care too much for that reputation, because she didn't care about fighting. The only thing on her mind was finding her brother.]

[But Zompano's recent takeover allowed her to become something else entirely. A wife and a mother with a family. She had to admit that she liked it while it lasted.]

[Her voice is filled with sadness and disappointment as she casually speaks into her journal.]


To be a wife and a mother, even for a short time, was...quite an illuminating experience. That's a kind of life I would have liked to live.

[At some point during the day, the Sword Princess can be found at the Battle Dome in yet another "bandits raiding the village" scenario. There are three bandits facing her now. They move in to attack, mercilessly swinging their axes at her. Karla dodges their attacks easily, as if they were moving in slow motion. And then three strokes from her sword led to three fallen bandits. The setting fades back into the usual empty room. Karla sighs as she sheaths her sword. Asch had shown her how to use the Battle Dome, but now she needs to learn how to make the scenarios more challenging.]

[Later on, she takes a break, sitting on the edge of the fountain in the plaza. She cradles her sword in her lap, stroking the smooth blade with her fingers. It's strange, having to get used to the sword all over again after temporarily forgetting her skill. As usual, she remains oblivious to the world around her. Approach her anyway?]

Well... I am sure there are plenty of people here who can grow to be your friends. You must have spoken to at least some people here, yes? If there is anyone you seemed to get along with, perhaps you should do more with them. That... seemed to help me when I felt lost.

[Eley wasn't one to have many friends when he first came here but now he has enough to keep him busy. And somehow he felt happier that way.]

There are a fair few now that I would consider 'friend'. Often I enjoy simple conversations with them and they teach me the ways of humans, something I am not especially familiar with. Sometimes we might share tea or food or take a walk together. It does not have to be anything... grand or life-changing. Above all, they have a great respect for me and care for my well-being. I have found that I also feel the same towards them.

[It was good that she had spoken to some people at least, but Eley knew that talking to the right people made a lot of difference. He hoped that if she didn't feel particularly close to anyone yet, those bonds might grow stronger in future.]

...I am a Spirit. A being who lives apart from humans, and one who should not usually share their emotions. Yet here I have grown closer to humans and have begun to understand more about how they live... and feel.

[Eley thinks for a moment. He didn't really know her that well... perhaps this would be a good opportunity for the both of them.]

Would you like to take a walk now?

[Eley looks at that hand for a long while before hesitantly taking it himself. He's solid of course... he may be a Spirit but here he has a physical form, at least at present. Should she have passed through him, Eley would certainly have cause for concern.

He pulls her to her feet and begins to head in the direction hills.]


I am a Wind Spirit... who has been given a human form in Luceti. As such I am trying to learn what I can about what it means to be human, as well as how to interact with them.

[Those words earn her a rather bemused look. Then again, maybe he shouldn't be all that surprised... there were many different kinds of people in Luceti and things were not always as they seemed.]

Are you not human? I admit that I have a habit of assuming all are human here unless there is something to set them apart from the rest...
winds_voice: (Attentive)

[personal profile] winds_voice 2013-08-24 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eley glances to her at that.]

You forget that you are human? That does not sound right... What else would you think yourself?

[Eley listens carefully. From her explanation, he can certainly see why she would assume that he would think of her as nothing but a killer. Maybe he does if he's being honest. Yet she already said that she didn't want to live for the blade anymore, right? Besides that, she just told him that she tries not to kill. That was important.]

Even the knights of Agkelos, a race born to uphold peace, have had to take lives against their will. They try not to and that is all I can ask of them. Sometimes... people must fight to protect themselves and to protect others. I do not like it and long for a time when it will not be necessary... but I cannot totally condemn anyone who acknowledges that killing is something they wish to avoid.

What really matters is if you are trying to improve... if you can control yourself.

...in that case, all I can say is that it is not always too late for people to change.

[There's certainly a renewed wariness about the Spirit now. What good was fighting if it wasn't for protection? It didn't matter how personal the reason or otherwise, to fight, but not for others, was not acceptable in his mind.]

Luceti has taught me many things. Perhaps it will teach you as well.

What is your dream?

[To find her brother? To become like him? To surpass him? He could see any of those things being true... but in order to answer her, he has to know where she's coming from.]
winds_voice: (Distrusting)

[personal profile] winds_voice 2013-08-24 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
From what I have heard about your brother it seems that it may be difficult. But... it is not hopeless. I do not see how a personal change would prevent you from doing what you wish to do. After all, it will not change your connection with him. Nothing will change that.

[That was something he had learned about families. Even the family he had had, the family that was a lie, is something he will never forget]
winds_voice: (Listening)

[personal profile] winds_voice 2013-08-24 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eley comes to a stop at those words, pausing at the foot of a nearby tree. Now he's no longer concentrating on walking, he pays her greater attention.]

It sounds as though he has an... obsession. Was he with you before you were brought here?
winds_voice: (Distant)

[personal profile] winds_voice 2013-08-24 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eley sits down again now by that tree. Whether or not she wishes to join him is up to her.]

Then either he will come here as well or you will be able to continue your search when you return to your world. I know it must be hard to let go of that dream for now... but it will do you good.

I have been told that our worlds are safe during our time here. I sincerely hope that is correct... or my planet will be in great danger. Hold onto that thought.

Whatever you want to do. While we are trapped in an enclosure, there is still much to see and do here, especially to one who has not tried many new things. [He'd found that out himself, of course.] Explore the area, look around the shops, try some new food or just simply pay someone a visit. There is also the Battledome, though... you may be aware of that considering your use of a weapon.

I will admit that I am probably not the best person to ask... I am new to many things and so my knowledge is limited. I am also quite content being... still. Time has no meaning for a being like myself.
