A Tale Of Fantasy - 2 Spots Open

Mira Mokosh

As the man stepped out of the shadows Mira looked upon his face. He had dark skin and eyes like burning coals, he dressed in a foreign fashion, something well made but outlandish. He was not human and Mira realized that must have been the pit in her stomach, a strange feeling of recognition she could not identify. Her eyes went to his hands to see if he was holding any kind of weapon. He was not holding anything and he didn't hide them either. It didn't look like he was planning to rob her so Mira relaxed slightly, releasing the tight grip on the knife in her basket. Yet she still kept it at arms reach, in case she needed it after all.

When he spoke his voice was rough, like the rocks beneath the cliffs of the King's castle. He sounded like he needed a drink of water. Despite his ominous visage Mira was not frightened, her nervousness had been caused by not knowing who was following her. Now that she had identified him, most of her unease had passed. She had seen a lot in her life and wasn't easily scared. If she had aged as humans had she would be well in her grave already. She sat down on the edge of the fountain, placing her basket on the ground. His question forced her to go back to a time in her life she would rather not think about.

Mira decided it would be best not to bother strangers with her misery, she choose this life. There was no one else to blame. She began to play with the shallow layer of rain water in the fountain, running her fingers over the surface, creating small ripples as she went. She mused on her answer for a while, thinking about why she did what she did.

"I must provide for myself somehow" The young woman answered pulling her eyes away from the hypnotizing circles of the water and looking at the dark humanoid at the edge of the square. She hadn't known many inhuman beings in her life, so she couldn't tell what he was exactly. He did not belong to the sea, that she would be able to see.

"How did you know the sea was once my home?" Mira asked, sounding wistful.

@Oxenfree I'm sad to see you go Oxen, you had a great character!
The pace is really quick in this roleplay, it's not difficult to see it being hard to keep up with.

Wade I really like your character and the sheet you made for him. Very creative and I can tell lots of work went into that. Nice job ^.^
I look forward to meeting him IC. :)

I think I'll decorate my sheet a little too, put some color into it like you and some of the others did. Perhaps a character quote if I can think of one.

Mira Mokosh

The evening at the tavern had been well spent, despite her earlier reluctance. Nearly her entire basket had been emptied, save a lonely pair of oysters. It had been a full one at that too, the sea had been very generous in the morning. Her hand went to the pouch at her side to make sure it and its contents were still there. It was rather heavy and Mira realized walking alone on the near empty streets with such a large sum of money wasn't very clever. The village was small and there were no active thieves she knew of but the house where she stayed was at the edge of the village, near the coast. Normally she would not be bothered by this but she had this strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something was not right there was a chill in the air.

She wanted to avoid standing still for too long and draw attention to herself so she continued on her way with a wary eye on her surroundings. Every step followed the previous one in a faster pace and the young woman nervously tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. It was if someone was following her. If she was right they were fell into step with her own footsteps perfectly. In a moment she would reach the village square and she planned to stop there to see who was after her.

Mira safely reached the village square and made her way over to the water fountain which stood at the centre of the square. It was made out of white marble with the statue of a mermaid in the center of it. Her tail was wrapped around the rock she was seated on and in her arms she held a clay jar from which the water was supposed to flow. The fountain had been out of use for a long time now and any water that it contained came from the clouds above. It was battered by wind and rain, the once white marble had dulled into a greyish green tone but despite of that it was one of the more beautiful sights in the dreary town. It always filled her with a sense of peace for some reason, but not tonight.

She reached for the small silver knife in her basket, holding it tightly to keep her hand from shaking. The young woman whipped her head around, the motion causing her braid to fall of her shoulder and hang down her back.
"Who's there?" She asked, her voice quivering ever so slightly. Mira tried not to let her fear sound through. She was not easily scared, having lived longer than most. Yet it was this feeling in the pit of her stomach that unnerved her greatly. It was something she couldn't remember feeling before, if she'd ever felt it at all.
