Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Yes, I wish to hold it in the Archives... I must've overlooked it."
-----
"Don't you dare kill her. I'll cut you down."

 

"How about we have a deal. You tell me what this knife is first, and then I tell you where I found it and give it to you."
----
"Why would I kill the person whom my other body is working for?" I whisper, teasing him again.

 

"It's a relic blade, known to its world of origin as Bane. Simple name, but one purpose; kill Mistress. Now, hold up your end of this deal..."
-----
"This isn't funny."

 

"Alright. I found this knife in a list of last wills of royalty. Somewhere around there." I say, pointing to the general area where I found the book. I then hand the knife to Emily. "Say, why isn't this knife going to be destroyed anyways? If it's one purpose is to kill Mistress Xlentia, then why even let it live?"
----
"I know, and I just found out the name. You might recognize the name, seeing as several draconians, upon seeing the knife, ran off terrified."

I whisper to Reed, "It is Bane."
OOC: Ok, I think managed to get Reed on the list of pissed off, but that wasn't intentional. Oh well. Progress is progress.

 

"Well..."
She grips the knife by its handle.
"We can't."
-----
"Bane?"
He stops to think a bit.
"Nope, unfamiliar to me."

 

"And why is that?"
----
"It's a knife. It's one purpose is to destroy Xlentia."

 

"We have no idea. Mistress has tried. I've tried. Ruby's tried. It's entirely immune to magic with any degree of darkness... which renders all of our most powerful spells useless."
-----
"Why would she even keep it around?!"

 

"Interesting. Let me try something. Maybe I can destroy the knife by using a spell."
----
"Because it can't be destroyed. By darkness at least. Xlentia tried, the current archivist tried, even Ruby's tried. It's immune to magic with any degree of darkness."

 

"Let's... not try that in the library?"
-----
"That... Yeah, they'd need someone outside the Void to destroy that. I'm not sure she's got any powerful contacts she hasn't already killed, though..."

 

"Alright. Just show me where I can try it."
----
"That's why my other body is going to try to smash that thing apart."

 

"Follow."
She heads outside the library.
-----
"You think you can manage that?"

 

I follow Emily.
----
"I'm not sure."

 

"Well, there's a barrier protecting the entrance. Don't worry about me, the end of this dagger is more important than my life."
She levitates it between you and her.
"Good luck."
-----
"Well, don't leave me hanging or I'll give you a reason to! I've lost enough already..."

 

"Alright." I say, drawing my sword and casting a spell that causes it to light up. "I figured that since darkness doesn't work, I might as well try casting a spell of light on my sword." I take several deep breaths, preparing myself.
----
"Wait, my other body needs full concentration."

 

"I've got it held steady."
-----
"Sorry."

 

"You fell asleep within a matter of seconds, actually. Would you like anything to eat or drink now that you're awake?" The guard asks.

 

I carefully examine the knife for the location of where the blade and the hilt meet. Once I spot it, I take another deep breath, and aim my sword at the closest possible area in between the blade and the hilt. I take another deep breath, and then jump up and bring my sword down in between the blade and the hilt, yelling as I do so.
OOC: Essentially, my character is trying to cut the knife in half by striking at where the blade and the hilt is.

 

"Oh... heheh... Sorry. No, I'm fine, thank you."
She pauses.
"Um... Is Aj okay?"

OOC: Is this your ice blade? (And I'm assuming you're not cutting at the sharp edge)

 

OOC: Yes, but it is imbued so that it glows, like a flashlight, except the whole blade is glowing. Also, yes. Not at the sharp edge.

 

"I believe the king is training with the queen's form in the arena. Would you like to go see him?" The guard asks. He seems appreciative of your concern for me.
