{Bend The Light ~ Control The Dark} An Original RPG discussion

Silver sat between to pillars looking out. She sighed. She loved this place but she didn't like how she got here. Why would she? It is death, death and death!

Silver smiled back. "Hello." She said, quietly. Silver watched her. "What are you reading?" Silver asked her politely. She liked talking to others. "What type of magic do you do? I'm Light Water."

Silver smiled. "If I can get better at water, I'll help you water the plants." Silver smiled. "What is your favorite plant?"

Silver laughed. "What type of flower is your favorite? Mine is the rose." She laid back against the wall and looked at her.

Silver smiled. "Yeah. It'll be fun, scary but fun." Silver looked at the garden. "How many different flowers can you name on site?" Silver asked, looking at all of the flowers, not knowing most of them.

Silver raised an eyebrow. "Dogwood? Is that a real thing?" Silver asked. She never heard of Dogwood.

Silver laughed. She walked over to the girl and stood against the wall. She looked at the garden again. "My mother loved violets. She liked them so much that my dad gave them to her every time something went wrong. It usually fixed it." Silver laughed sadly.

"They're not much of anything. Dead, they're dead." She said, her voice breaking. "But you can ask anything if you want." She continued to look at the garden.

Silver looked at her and smiled weakly. "Yeah. But you can ask anything about it. I don't mind." She missed them but she had to put it behind her. Right?

Silver nodded. "You can pry. I don't really care." She had cleaned up and was wearing a long black dress with a white belt. Her white hair was cut short. She had very pale skin and she didn't have any type of makeup on.

Silver thought for a moment. "Well. When I was seven, my best friend of my parents, was asking for me yo promote his business. my parents saud no and.... um... he killed them. I won't go into details unless you want me too." She told her.

Silver shrugged. "where did you get the beautiful dress? I love it!" She looked at her outfit amazed by the design. She looked at her plain dress. It pointed out her paleness and hair. She also had her different eyes. Her mom always told her yo be proud of her appearence. She was working on it.

Silver nodded. "You like this plain thing?" She looked at her dress. It was just plain black, she loved that color. But this lovely? Huh, she never heard that before.

Silver was confused, then she realized what she meant. "Oh, oh! No, that's not why. I just like the color and I also like silver and grey. Mother said it high lighted my features." She smiled.

Silver smiled. "Oh! I'm Silver. I like your name. Chantel, Chantel." She said the names quietly. She liked the sound of her name. It was soothing.

"Do you have a nickname? Mine is S.O.S," she thought of her parents. When she was in trouble they didn't say Silver Ora Smith. They said S.O.S. Then she knew she was in trouble.

Silver smiled. "Chanty. Nice nickname. I love it!" She looked at her. "Let me guess you don't like it?" She asked. She thought it was a nice nickname.

Silver shrugged. "I'll call you Chantel, then. I'm 13."

"No problem." Silver looked at the garden, thinking about how she got here. "Yes. Yes it is."

"Yeah. Is there anything you want to do?" Silver put her fingers on her scar. It still hurt. It was still a new addition.

((Do your think Silver is to mysterious?))

Silver flinched slightly. She took her hand away and saw a drop of blood. "It would really nice to be able to freeze water. That I want to know." Silver smiled.

Silver flinched. "Calm down. Just got into a fight with a few rivals." She half lied. Truth was that it was an abuse by one of the villagers.

Lylith had washed her face after crying in her room before, she walked through the corridor and into the courtyard. She thought long and hard about being the death mage, she was still confused as to why they would choose... her. Her thoughts rushed through her mind, she thought it would be good to clear her thoughts by spending ti- she spotted other girls sitting in the courtyard. She loved people but she didn't want to talk right now. I guess it would be nice to meet some other's living in the castle The thought was brief as she walked up to them. "Hi." Lylith said simply.

Silver bit her lip. "Well. That was not true. But it sounds cooler." She saw the new girl and waved slightly. "Hello." She looked back at the floor. The girl seemed a little off in some way.

((I just noticed you posted, Happy. Sorry. Should we continue without Streamly?))

Silver stayed quiet. She was uneasy around this girl. But she seemed fine. She didn't want to judge the girl right away. She looked into the garden, thinking. She could see her parents being killed. She always saw that. No matter what. She saw the places she went but got turned away from.

Silver nodded. "Just thinking." She looked around. She could see Harry. Curse him. Harry Jones kills the Smiths. The headlines. Silver left Homeless. She knew that was one of the few times the news were true.

((I message her and she didn't respond. Let's continue.))

Silver really needed to work on her poker face. "What in the world gives me away?" She asked, laughing a little. She hoped she could find out so it could be solved.

Silver laughed. "I evendently need to work on my poker face." Silver smiled. "I know you are. But I don't tell others unless nessecary."

Silver cocked her head. "Well, want to do want to do?" Silver asked.

Lylith turned pale, she seemed to have been frozen for hours, but that wasn't the case, she didn't hear what the other girls said. Lylith didn't know if her, a death mage, would be accepted by a light mage, would that be okay? Surely it would! "I-I'm Lylith" She murmured with a slight stutter "I'm the..... Death Mage." She added hesitantly.

((Cool!))

Silver nodded to Chantel. Silver turned to the Death Mage. So that was why she seemed off. "Silver, Light Water Mage." She shrugged. "Death seems cooler though."

"It's a bit scary...." Lylith trailed off, she gained power from death, that meant someone had to die for her to train? She didn't like the thought of anyone or anything in pain for her gain. She wanted to meet Mortemos, she wanted to start training, she wanted to know what this was all about.

Silver shrugged again. "Ever need help finding death, he seems to follow me everywhere." She laughed a little at the truth in that comment. It was true, death and trouble around the corner. Waiting.

Lylith glanced at the garden, what would her powers do? Would she kill anything around her if she got too strong? She didn't want to hurt anyone, she didn't want to be the death mage why couldn't someone else be the death mage? Why couldn't she be part of the light magics? Lylith's thoughts provoked her, attacking every direction her mind strayed off to, she felt like a helpless lamb facing up to a rabid wolf.

Silver saw her, she looked liked she was going to panic. She quickly walked over to her and put her hands on her shoulders. "What's the matter?" She asked calmly looking at her in the eyes.

Lylith was surprised by Silver's compassion, it brought a faint smile to her face
"This magic is just confusing... I don't want to hurt anyone." she picked her head up to look at the girls, "I'm sure we all have something to get used to, new room, abilities."

Silver smiled. "Yeah, I bet it is." She put an arm around her shoulder. "We all have to get used." She shrugged. "That's the cool thing about humans. We adapt quickly." She smiled.

((np))

((?))

Lylith smiled at Silver and looked to Chantel "I'll try that, it is interesting to learn about. I'm honored to have been chosen as a mage." And I hope I can be the right leader to the dark magic types. She fiddled with her fingertips, a smile still tugging at her lips.

Silver smiled. "Now that's better. If you want a too I can help you study. Even though I'm a light Mage, death and such is still interesting." She smiled at her. She took a step back.

Lylith looked at them "We could start a study group." She laughed and leaned against one of the pillars that skirted the garden, she watched as the breeze blew the blades of grass and the ferns and flowers. She could smell the fragrance of the flowers and the crisp smells of the orchards far off.

Silver smiled. She leaned against one of the walls. "I'm up for it. We good study death, plants and water. One for each." She looked into the orchard and smiled. Mother would be proud of her. A mage, and now making friends and helping them.

((Is it Happy's turn..?))

((Yep.))

"So, ummm... What have you done so far around the castle? Any places worth visiting?" Lylith directed the question at both girls. She smiled, listening to the wind wisp through the fine strands of her hair, she brushed a couple hairs from her face and rested one hand within the other.

((but reading is awesome!))

Silver shook her head. "I'm new, so no?" She smiled kindly. She was surprised she didn't mind these folks. Didn't happen often.
