Arcana et Anathema

Ryan nodded, listening to the explanation of how their magic would actually work in regards to total amount as well as regeneration. People began to ask about weapons, causing an explanation on that as well. As it was explained, Ryan began to try. He started a slow intake of breath as he held his hands before him, beginning to do as was being taught. For a moment, he had no idea how to, and then suddenly, the magic he had inside of him pushed out of his palms into the shape of a pair of kamas. It seemed like a good fit to his newfound strength, as he could use this swift weapon, then outright punch someone since the handle to a kama was much less than that of something like a greatsword.

Ryan moved the kamas around, feeling a natural affinity towards them, just as was explained. Now, however, it was time to try his illusion magic. But to do so, he would need someone to help him. He looked around at the others, trying to find one of the few he had met previously. He realized now, that one was being extra loud and flashy, and thought they'd provide ample response to his illusions, so he began attempting an illusion for all of them to see, hoping those that were outspoken would give a good response about how well he did with it. He began spinning a kama, focusing on the idea of a flame surrounding his weapon.

As he spun the weapon, he attempted to create the illusion that the fire, also an illusion, would take the shape of a small dragon about the size of a regular household cat. The style of the dragon would be like the Chinese dragon in which it was more similar to a snake with small front legs, than that of a Western-type dragon. The scales would be red as fire, but then suddenly shine and turn golden before fading away into nothing. He then looked for any possible reaction to his illusion, hoping he hadn't just imagined it in his head.

And it seems I can't post at this time, seeing as my character asked a question. No rush Ariamis, just wanted to make sure you knew why I wasn't posting quite yet

Arcana et Anathema

Sorry guys, RPG wouldn't load, so I've been checking the google doc lately, but it seems I can finally user RPG again

Arcana et Anathema

Ryan's eyes widened in surprise and almost confusion as the entire ceremony seemed to work perfectly. He never got the idea out of his head that all of this was just a lie or a joke, but he couldn't deny it anymore with how strong he felt as well as his new attire simply... being there. He grabbed hold of the crimson gem... his crimson gem. He stared at it for a moment before looking up to Qubus who began telling them about their wishes being granted as well as their unique abilities based on their wishes. His face turned slightly red as Qubus looked to him, assuming it'd be speaking his wish. It seemed Qubus understood he wanted that to be private though, as the actual wish wasn't mentioned. He mentally sighed in relief, before nodding, smiling at his new gifts from Qubus. Once again... Someone does a lot for me... At least now I can return the favor... I consider you a friend.

Ryan glanced around at the others, each having their own unique abilities as well. They were all unique, and in their own way, powerful. He looked directly to Qubus now, only curious about the cost and hopefully the regeneration of whatever they use to use this magic. "When we use our abilities, you said something about cost of magic, right? About how much do we actually have, or is that dependent on the user? And will it regenerate over time, or do we have to get you to regenerate it or something?" As he asked this question, he began to move around to test out his new strength. I feel lighter... Twice his previous strength, while it wasn't to the point where he could compete in a national competition for strongest man, he was definitely not a weakling.

Ryan looked to Qubus, only a few questions going through his mind. He wasn't really worried about the history, seeing as it wasn't happening then and there, and he wasn't really worried about what would happen as they became these knights, he only truly cared about the consequences of accepting this contract. Even that didn't weigh very heavily on his mind, so long as his wish would truly be granted. "Will you be able to tell what our wish is, or will we have to say it?" He glanced at each of the others individually, not wanting to say his wish out loud, lest he embarrass himself.

Although Ryan didn't care much for how others saw him, he did care for whether or not they knew his true objective in life. He always thought it'd simply be easier to wear a cool 'mask' than to show his 'face.' It wasn't that there was any evil, or that there were any problems that he could really think of, but that he was a rare kind of shy. A kind of shy that will talk face to face with almost anyone, but isn't capable of showing their true intentions, whether they wish to or not.

Really sorry everyone, I've tried multiple times over the past day or two that, but the site just wouldn't work properly. I got it to start up earlier today, but it stopped working again before I could even get to my subscribed threads... Once again, very sorry, my post is up, so everything's A-okay now

Arcana et Anathema

Ryan nodded as the girl responded to his question. She regrets her choice... Meaning there has to be something Qubus didn't tell us about all of this... Maybe it's just that what we're getting into is dangerous, maybe it's that we have to put something on the line... I don't know... Whatever it is, it's worth it to keep my friends out of harm's way after all that they've done for me by just being there... He watched as some new girl arrived, scaring the previous one away, and lo and behold, it seemed that Qubus had arrived as well. He looked around as the others began introducing themselves, and then followed suit, albeit with a quieter voice than he had used originally with the first girl. "Ryan Kane." He looked to Qubus, wondering to himself Can it read my thoughts? Will it already know that what I want is to protect my friends, or do I have to say it in front of the others here to get my wish granted...?

Arcana et Anathema

Ryan's eyes widened slightly when a threat of danger to his friends appeared. After hearing that... Do I leave to keep them safe? Or do I stay here, hoping my wish doesn't fall through and end up with my friends being in danger...? He looked to the girl that he had forgotten to listen for the name of, who was also the one calling them fools. My wish goes against that though... If any of them get hurt over this, I'll never be able to lose the thought that I killed them myself... Maybe I should distance myself to keep them safe? Or should I simply change who my friends are... Should I treat those who also came to this meeting as friends, knowing they'll be stronger, thus safer...? He shook his head slightly, attempting to dislodge the hold that fear for his friends seemed to have now. His wish did, after all, go completely against what this girl was saying, so of course it would be safe for his friends.

Ryan looked around at the others nearby, sighing quietly. He looked around for Qubus once more. Why would a ferret be running late to their own meeting...? What else is it doing? Getting more recruits? I think it's a bit late at this point... He looked towards the 'fool' girl, wondering if she was perhaps Qubus in disguise, simply testing their resolve to follow through with this. Or perhaps she was to be a sign that it was not a lie, in case only one of them had shown up. "Sorry, but the most foolish here is the one trying to convince others not to join you and help. You've got people here willing to become allies to you, and the first thing you do is call us fools, then basically tell us to leave if we value our friends and family? Do you regret what you've become?" Though most of the time he was quiet, this time, he had to speak. He had to get the thought that this could tear each of them apart inside as soon as they join out of his head.

Arcana et Anathema

Ryan inhaled slowly, then exhaled with the same slow speed. It seemed so odd that he was following the instructions of a little woodland animal, and coming here. It could very well be a prank, simply being played to cause each of them stress for the next day just for the laughs, however a talking ferret made that seem a bit less likely. He cocked his head to the side slightly as the person that was there before any of them seemed to simply call them fools. It seemed like the person thought that either, they would be cowardly enough to simply leave because they were called fools, or the person was perhaps barred from saying to leave, lest they be tortured or punished in some way.

Ryan tried to decide which it could possibly be for a moment, before suddenly hearing the others responding to the girl. Each responded separately, but it seemed like they each continued the previous set of questions, only increasing the number of questions that would all have to be answered at once. He glanced around at each of them, letting the questions be asked without hindrance while he thought over what they could each possibly want with their wishes. As he looked to each, none of them were people he was particularly friends with. There were a few that he knew from classes, but didn't really speak to, but other than that, nothing worth noting, in his opinion.

Ryan listened to the last of the questions before looking around, searching for any sign of the ferret. "Fools, maybe... But everyone is, honestly..." He said this, mostly to himself, but also slightly in response to the girl. Though his response was rather late, so he assumed he'd come off as odd, but what did it really matter what he seemed like. To him, that was only a worry worth having when it came to his true friends.
