Kisaiya was wandering around rather aimlessly, staring at the strange material in her hand. She was so tired of being here, where things made so little sense. She finally had some semblance of freedom, but she was quickly realizing... She was simply in a larger cage.
Sighing softly, she gripped the material a bit tighter in her hand, and turned to stare at the ocean... contemplating whether or not it would skip the water like a stone.

"Lovely, isn't it."
A deep almost melodic voice came from behind her.

Kisaiya's entire body tensed at the sound of a voice right behind her. She meshed her teeth together. This... This is why Amon'i was so damned determined to always be with her. She thought she was observant, but this wasn't the first time somebody had managed to sneak up on her.
Taking a deep breath, she continued to stare at the metal in her hand. "It would be more beautiful if I knew what it was," she admitted in her lilting, delicate accent.

"Hmm? Oh, apologies my dear, I was referring to the Ocean. It is a lovely, and soothing sight."
He would correct the girl. There would be the sound of feet shifting in the sand as a shadow cast over Kisaya.
"Ah. But that is a very beautiful and unique trinket you hold in your hand. I now understand your confusion."

She couldn't help the slight twitch at the condescending name. Perhaps they didn't mean it, she told herself, as she continued to stare into the metal. Shifting it slightly, she attempted to see if it was reflective, if looking at it might give her a glimpse into who stood behind her.
"I have no idea where it came from, or even what it is," she admitted softly.

The metal would be too dark to reflect anything, almost as if it was aborbing the light...
"It is not of this world. I forget the name... but it is very strong. Even requiring special tools and conditions just to forge something. But it is said that once it formed it is nearly indestructible."

"Indestructible, hmm?" Kisaiya stared at the metal in her hand, contemplating what it could actually be. She took a deep breath, wrapping her fingers tight around it and holding it against her stomach.
"What kind of tools?"

The man chuckled.
"An entire forge my dear. It is not something you could simply find at the hardware store. No... you need a special forge from the same world that that metal is found in. The heat so intense that it liquefies anything that comes into contact with it."

"So, it's not indestructible?" Kisaiya turned her gaze to the ocean, staring hard at the waves as they rolled in. "If the forge builds the weapon, then the forge can destroy it. Correct?"

The man chuckled a deep chuckle.
"Very astute. Which is why I said nearly indestructible. However, I wouldn't say the forge destroys it but... reforms it. Very few things are every permanently destroyed. They merely find existence in a new form."
There was a shifting noise.
"Though, I do find it interesting that you specified a weapon."

She fell silent for a moment.
"Why is that interesting?" She murmured softly, staring straight ahead.

"Well the ore can be formed into anything, from a trinket, to armor, to a weapon... I have been careful not to suggest anything one way or another as to not influence your desired object. Had you said Trinket, or an item for some sort of utility purpose I would've said you're very crafty and good at thinking on your feet to find a solution you want. Had you said armor it would've suggest you were worried about getting hurt. But a weapon... that can mean many things, some of which could be dangerous..."

Kisaiya stared straight ahead as she contemplated the implications of what the stranger said. Why did she want a weapon, specifically? Why was that her first thought? She pressed her lips together in a thin line and ran her thumb gently across the metal.
"How do you know so much about this? Whatever it is."

"Hmmm..
Let's just say I'm somewhat of an expert in other worldly materials."

Kisaiya fell silent for a moment, contemplating what this stranger said.
"Are you a scholar? Or familiar with whatever world this came from?"

Post by Merik on Jul 6, 2021 21:36:12 GMT
"I guess I am somewhat of a scholar, as for the world that came from I am not expert, but I know a thing or two."
He chuckled.

"So, you came from the same world as this metal?"

"Oh no no no. Not at all. My world is... well very different."

Post by Kisaiya on Jul 14, 2021 14:13:29 GMT
"Different how?"
|
|
|
|
Post by Merik on Jul 18, 2021 12:38:04 GMT
The man would chuckle.
"In many numerous ways that I'm not sure you would understand."
