Bio
Salutations and Felicitations!
As my title alludes to I'm a student. I'm currently studying for my BA in History and Ancient History. I love diving into lore be it that of the past, or whether it be the brilliant product of the human imagination.
But just as fun I find is picking lore apart and making something new with it, and that's what draws me to good role-plays. Those little references shaped into new forms are really what helps to keep me hooked, just as much as good writing.

@Sarcelle Renard Not really, you could try blasting Livia herself, that would stop her at least long enough for Octavia to move, or for another character to push her out of the way.

@RiverMaiden That won't be an issue because it's a wraithblade so there'll be no physical damage.

@Ace of flames01 That's tricky, she's gonna stab her in the chest at the very least. Does Octavia have any protection left, an amulet with a ward, any of the light warriors etc?
Demon intervention? Best talk to @Sarcelle Renard then, that'd be interesting though. Then you'd have both betrayed warriors on your side for the sake of the other.

@Ace of flames01 Okay, so with Octavia's bravery what can I get away with here? I mean Livia isn't going to be persuaded again, she's going to want to kill Octavia.

@Ace of flames01 Okay me and @Gate Keeper can promise you it breaks no rules at all. Nothing OP, or offensive or subversive to the current cannon of the RP. However, it should provide a bit of levity but won't work without it being a surprise.

The gem Livia had been holding glowed brighter as the varghulf roared as the poison ravaged its body. The creature moaned pitifully as it crashed around the clearing trying to relieve the pain it felt only to be confronted by spears and then to be rooted in place.
Livia floated silently, memories flashed in front of her… each more painful than the last…
Three children ran through the stone walls of a castle, two girls chased by a boy many years their senior. The boy roared pretending to be some dreadful beast as he chased the two girls down a long corridor. They giggled and screeched as they ran, dashing past guards and courtiers who gave them reproachful looks.
The memory faded to blackness inside Livia's mind, and another burbled up to replace it. Snow buffeted the castle, her younger self was wrapped up in a thick cloak and stood atop a castle battlement looking over a grey plain. Then she saw them. Riders, 10 of them riding across the plane towards the castle. Her heart soared, and she ran for the stairs racing the riders to the gate house.
Another memory barged its way in, Livia found herself in her tower. She was stood with her back to her door trying to hold it shut. Fire and smoke filled the room, loud shouts and screams pierced the night. Then she felt it, a thud, then a crack. 'We've got her!' called a voice, then more banging on the door. The little girl terrified began to scream 'Al, Al, help!', her voice was terrified and fearful. Then she heard the screams, the clash of steel on steel. Then a knock at the door. 'Al?' asked Livia tentatively absolutely terrified… then a calm familiar voice replied in-between ragged breaths. 'It's… it's alright Livia, they're gone, let me in would you?' the little girl sprang to her feet and slid across all the bolts letting the door swing open.
Stood in the doorway was a handsome young man. He was tall and well built, and had grey eyes that seemed to match the stone walls, his long black hair was the colour of jet and fell ragged about his ears. He wore heavy steel plate and had and elegant cloak draped from his shoulders. He held a sword in one hand, blood dripped from the tip of it, but Livia didn't notice. Then it happened… a sudden crash behind Livia, splintering wood, Al'Hazred shot forward and slammed into something behind Livia. He gave a growl of pain and Livia turned to watch as her brother wrestled with a beast that had its jaw clamped firmly on his neck.
Livia snapped back to the present, her brother's screeches struck her first. The prince… he wanted her to kill him. She couldn't… all these years… the centuries she'd spent, the things she'd done, he was all she had left, what purpose did she have if not to control him? Why continue down the centuries with nothing?
Al'Hazred screeched again and broke free of the magic that had bound him. The beast battered and wounded turned to look at Livia, sorrow and pain marred the creatures features. Then it saw the prince… anger seared across the creatures face and it barrelled forwards toward the prince great lumbering strides covering the distance in seconds.
Livia floated forward in front of the prince, and raised her right hand. Al'Hazred stopped, he screeched reared up on his hind quarters and slammed his forelimbs into the ground in front of Livia. 'Sssh brother' Livia's chorus was shaken, wrought with sorrow and pain. She placed a hand on the creatures cheek stroking the creatures great maw. The great beast cocked its head on one side and peered at Livia. Livia reached up and pulled back her hood. Her long red hair flowed in an unnatural wind and her blue eyes filled with tears. She tried to summon a smile but it faltered on her lips. Al'Hazred whimpered and gestured with one long talon at the prince. 'It's alright brother, it's alright, he's a friend, you don't need to hurt him or anyone else ever again.' The beast looked confused, then surprised as Livia's wraithblade pierced its heart. The wounded creature shuddered, wavered and then collapsed to the ground. Livia fell to her knees beside the beast that had been her brother, her blade slowly faded from view and she looked into the creature's eye as it breathed its last. 'It's alright brother dear, don't struggle, your fight is over. Remember back in the castle? You would always come back and the first thing you'd talk of was rest, but you always stayed up?' tears where dotting Livia's robes by this point and her hands were trembling 'You always stayed up and told me and Helena your stories, and then you'd nod off right before the interesting bits just to spite us' She gave the beast a playful shove, her ghostly hand passing through the beasts colossal shoulder, it sighed quietly and its eyes began to glaze over. 'You rest now brother' whispered Livia's chorus into the beasts ear. Then she began to wail, a high pitched wail first of sorrow… then of anger.
After a few moments Livia got to her feet, she'd not be denied twice, she'd sacrificed everything for her kingdom. Her family, her friends, her soul, her very being was formed around serving her kingdom, and now it had seen fit to take Al from her too. Livia floated towards the prince, her sword reforming in her hand as she did so. 'YOU!' cried the chorus 'YOU'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING! Livia's face showed nothing but rage, her face twisted with loathing as she stared at the prince. 'You are no longer my lord, to me you are nothing but the harbinger of sorrow. You pathetic mortal have no more power over me! What reason have I to live now? You've taken him from me! Livia raised her sword, twin jets of blue flame forming in her eyes once more. 'Now! Now I shall take a loved one from you!' Livia shot forward, but changed direction at the last instance and descended on Octavia sword raised.
