(Alright, how will you begin this journey?)
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:27:49 PM)
[okay. I just noticed that it's new moon, and it is said that Moth can hear everything that is said on such dark nights when even the moon does not shine. so I'm thinking of starting with whispering into the night in the Umbra and seeing if Moth responds. if not, I'll figure out something else :)]
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:28:45 PM)
(I'm gonna tell ya right now, whispering into night won't get you a response. Moth listens, but never responds unless called upon.
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:30:07 PM)
[well, she would ask Moth to respond -- I figure it's more polite than Summoning and forcing it to =) if there's no response though, she would look for local moth spirits before resorting to summoning]
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:30:29 PM)
(looking for local moths would be a good place to start)
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:30:40 PM)
(Since you are in a place where they are naturally abundant)
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:30:53 PM)
[alrightie :)]
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:33:47 PM)
Even under the new moon, and even in her homid form, Emilia seemed oddly luminous in the Penumbra, her spirit heritage giving her a soft silvery aura that wasn't quite a glow. She stuck to her breed form for now, in the Umbra close to her brother's house, where she lived in, looking near the lights of the house for the tell-tale flicker of moth wings.
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:34:18 PM)
*and so, she would seek out the local moth spirits, she would find them hanging around old dark closests where their earthbound kin would be most present and they would flit about her quietly as she approached them, dancing around and listening to her footsteps, their wingbeats soft in her ears* (Emilia, unfortunately you have no spiritual heritage other than being a silver fang)
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:34:45 PM)
[I...lost it somehow?]
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:35:16 PM)
(It's not on your sheet, if it should be, please take it up with Gabby Girl. I only know what's on yer sheet right now :) )
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:35:27 PM)
[it's on the sheet...]
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:35:54 PM)
["Spirit Heritage (Lunar)
3"]
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:36:16 PM)
(so it is. lol)
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:36:31 PM)
(I must have missed it. Or was looking for it in the wrong place. which is entirely possible)
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:36:55 PM)
[had me worried there for a second!]
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:38:10 PM)
(alrighty then, we shall continue then)
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:38:55 PM)
She approached the spirits, a respectful air about her. -ss- "Hello, my friends." She greeted them softly, her dark eyes tracking their movements. -ss- "Will you speak with me?"
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:42:47 PM)
*the moths flitted about her ears a bit more, soft flaps of wings tickling at her skin as they danced about her in the darkness of luna's hidden face, excitedly flipping about without saying much, these were probably only gafflings after all but the soft flitting and flapping of their wings seem to indicate their pleasure with her presence and demeanor*
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:46:02 PM)
-ss- "Does it please you? A night like this, with many secrets to hear." She wasn't bothered by the lack of verbal response. As she spoke, she studied the group of spirits, trying to see if they had some kind of hierarchy among themselves. -ss- "I could speak many secrets into the night, for only you to hear."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:49:45 PM)
*they flitted about, dancing on her breath as she spoke. They didn't appear to have a specific hierarchy among them, they just seemed to be randomly flitting about in all directions, almost as if they moved about to whatever they were hearing or whatever small thing caught their attention*
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:53:09 PM)
Clearly, she wasn't getting very far just speaking to these spirits... yet she didn't seem to mind. She enjoyed watching them, feeling their presence. Eventually, though, it was time to move on. -ss- "Is there one among you, one like you, who you look up to? One who serves between you and Falcon?"
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 6:57:36 PM)
*there was a bit of confused, almost disorienting motion among the moths as they tried to comprehend what exactly she was talking about, or who she was talking about. At the mention of Falcon they seemed to get a little nervous and flap closer to the ground*
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 6:59:25 PM)
She saw their distress, and when she spoke again her tone was soft, not unkind. -ss- "Do not worry, my friends. I only seek one of your kind who would speak to me."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:02:41 PM)
*something in that question seemed to register and they began to flit off in a small swarm, heading towards a location deeper in the forest where the shadows grew darker and the wings of the moth's seemed to let off a slight luminesence that lit the path ahead of them ever so slightly*
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:04:25 PM)
She followed them, keeping to her breed form as long as the pace allowed it. She remained alert, though, aware of her surroundings.
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:09:53 PM)
*the moth's continued to flit about, becoming more comfortable as they preceded deeper into the forest and then finally they came to an area where slightly larger Moth came flitting out of the forest and approached her, wings pushing the air and actually creating a gentle breeze that caught in her hair and it gently moved about*~ss~ What does one of the brood of Falcon want among the children of Luna's night?
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:13:24 PM)
She inclined her head to the spirit, respectful yet confident, proud in her heritage without taking it to arrogance. -ss- "I am Emilia da Silva, Theurge of the Silver Fangs. I am descended from Phoebe's Grace, who dedicated her life and her bloodline to mending the rift between my tribe and Luna. I am her blood, and the blood of Phoebe. I am a child of Luna as much as I am a child of Falcon. I seek friendship and guidance."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:19:35 PM)
*the moth continued to flit about, insect eyes watching her though it was hard to tell where they were looking*~ss~ Your heritage to Luna is obvious, your lineage noble, but so are many of Falcon's children. Here you may find guidance anytime if you wish to offer what must be offered to recieve it. Moth is always friend to Falcon's children.
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:21:03 PM)
-ss- "And if I were to seek something more? A deeper tie, a friend to guide me on my way, not just today but in all my days."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:24:44 PM)
*moth's wings beat the air a bit harder, causing her hair to rustle about*~ss~ You ask one of the children of moth to follow you about like a lost child and offer you guidance whenever you wish to hear it?
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:29:52 PM)
She inclined her head slightly, accepting the rebuke. -ss- "As a friend, not a servant. As a companion. I have a long and hard road ahead of me - I do not fear to tread it, and if need be I will tread it alone, but it would please me to know that there is someone here to correct me if I should unwittingly step off the path. My cause is worthy, my purpose noble, and I would be honored if Moth would share his wisdom with me on the way."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:34:25 PM)
~ss~ Your cause is your own. Worthy or not is for the spirits to decide, not for you to decide young Falcon. Your purpose is your own, noble or not will be determined by those you leave behind. You claim you would be honored, but all you offer is your honored feeling for a life of service. For friend as you may feel, the Moth that takes this journey would be bound to you until your end. Moth owes you nothing, why should she submit one of her children to such a life?
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:41:17 PM)
-ss- "I have pledged my life to Luna; it is Luna's grace that I seek, her forgiveness for myself, my family and my tribe. Should it take my death to placate her, it is a price I will gladly accept. You are correct in that Moth owes me nothing, but would it not please Moth to play a part in soothing Luna's ire?" She paused briefly, considering her words. -ss- "But I offer more than that; I offer my protection to this spirit, my friendship, my loyalty. I offer secrets in the black of night."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:47:52 PM)
*the moth's wings flapped derisively at what she said*~ss~ If it is Luna's grace you seek, then seek a Lune. We are children of Luna, but we do not offer her grace. Your death will not placate what does not need placating. Luna does not have a great ire towards the children of Falcon. Her children however do not submit to their war like mannerisms that they oft times employ. Now you come offering nothing but simple secrets that already we hear in the darkness of night. You are no Shadow Lord, you are no Uktena. Your secrets pale in comparrison to what they can present. You are a child of Falcon, supposedly honorable and noble. How many secrets could you truly know that Moth does not already know? If this is all you offer, you may go. This is barely enough to request the teachings of one of Moth's children.
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 7:54:04 PM)
-ss- "I will ultimately seek Luna's grace from Luna herself, as my ancestor once did. But I am but a Cliath, far from ready to undertake such a task. That is where my road leads. What she will ask of me when the time comes, I do not know." She spoke calmly, confident in her purpose but never arrogant. -ss- "I could seek a Lune, but a Lune would undertand only half of who I am: a child of Luna. I could seek Harrier or Hawk or another of Falcon's brood, but they would understand only half of who I am: a child of Falcon. I know of no other than Moth who could understand both halves of me. If my offer is not enough, then I ask you this... give me a task, a quest, that will prove me worthy in your eyes."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 7:59:14 PM)
*the moth's wings flicked it high into the air and then it swooped back down to face her once more* We are children of Luna and only Luna. We are not part of Falcon's brood. We are not hunters of the sky. *it looked at her quietly as it considered for a moment to figure out what it might send her to do*
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 8:02:42 PM)
She inclined her head slightly. -ss- "Hunters, perhaps not. But spirits of the sky regardless, in the night as he is in the day. I will prove my worth to you, if you will give me a chance."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 8:09:02 PM)
~ss~ Very well. You wish to prove yourself to me child of Falcon. You must walk the path of Legends and speak with Fells the Shadow's Touch and gain his approval, for it was he who last held Moth's favor. If you can gain his favor, then a child of Moth forever shall be bound to the path you walk.
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 8:11:04 PM)
She inclined her head once more. -ss- "Then so I shall do. I thank you for your time and your wise counsel, and I will return when my task is done."
BlkSprl1 (Jul 1, 2011 8:13:08 PM)
~ss~ Safe journeys, child of Falcon. If you return successful, a child of Moth shall await you.
Emilia da Silva (Jul 1, 2011 8:15:02 PM)
And so she took her leave, her mind already working on the task ahead.
