Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Hearing her monotone responses he grasps her hand before she leaves the table.*

“I can see that my being here is hurting you Rysalla, but you’re going to have to come to terms with that sooner rather than later I think,” he stands and kisses her on the cheek before he continues, “I can only hope you find the love you deserve...the love that completes you...but I don’t think that was ever destined to be me.”

OOC: Well spelling was the original reason I went in there, but I also cut the last sentence...lots of bad spelling there...couldn’t be fixed...just better to eliminate it altogether. [/SBLOCK]

*Rin nods and bows.*

"Yes Yuriko-san...I will do as you say," she replies respectfully, standing up and brushing herself off as she prepares to follow Yuriko, wearing a borrowed priestess dress from he monastery rather than hand-me-downs from her mother with all the bad memories those would entail.

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*As Zaeryn grabs Rysalla, she begins to tremble, and as he kisses her on the cheek, her eyes roll back in their sockets and she begins to speak in a weird eldritch keening voice:*

"The smiling temptress sinks her jaws in deep
Resourceful and bewitching is Allure
Her victim's heart and soul are hers to keep
Gone mad with lust for which there is no cure
Together flying from the nest they go
Awash into a sea of endless dreams
A crossing that could hold both weal and woe
For nothing there is ever what it seems
The spider gently pulls upon the thread
The puppets dancing to their master's call
The living face again those that are dead
A small mistake could bring a bitter fall
But as the warping chaos takes its toll
The pieces come together make it whole"

*Then suddenly, she gasps, and her eyes drop back down, and she shakes her head vigourously to clear it.*

"Ohmigosh, I'm so sorry...its...well...uhh, have a good meal!" she finishes helplessly flustered as she turns away and walks off quickly towards the kitchen.

Rystil:[SBLOCK]

"Yes Yuriko-san...I will do as you say," she replies respectfully.

*Yuriko nodded approvingly at the young girl's choice of dress, and lead her to the Ritual Chambre. On the way, she thought words of blessing and gratitude toward her ancestors, and toward the spirits of the monastery. She respectfully asked that the spirits watch over Rin, guide her, and strengthen her for the coming task.*

*When they arrived at the Ritual Chambre, Yuriko waited at the entrance until her eyes adjusted to see within. If she saw Master Senyuki already there, then Yuriko would head right in . . . not wanting to keep the priestess waiting.*[/SBLOCK]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*As Yuriko's eyes adjust to the darkened Ritual Chambre, she spots Master Senyuki and a gathering of seven other monks and priestesses from the faint light of the eight small braziers in the eight corners of the room. There is a pool of some sort of liquid sitting in the centre of the room, around which they are gathered.*

*As Yuriko heads in with Rin, Master Senyuki smiles and asks:*

"Are you ready? Would you like to be cleansed together or one at a time?"

Rystil:[SBLOCK]"Rin-san, this is Master Senyuki-sama," Yuriko said quietly as Senyuki approached.

"Are you ready? Would you like to be cleansed together or one at a time?"

*Yuriko bowed as Senyuki approached. Yuriko looked to Rin, clearly letting the young girl decide. shetried to show that either way would be fine for her, that Yuriko would be there for her if she wanted or needed her. Though she looked older, Yuriko still thought of Rin as the little girl she first met only a few days ago.*[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“That was weird, a prophecy by the sound of it. I understood the first part, doesn’t sound too flattering does it, but I wonder what it means after the line about crossing.”

*Zaeryn will write it down at his earliest opportunity, buying some materials after they finish lunch. I can't believe I don't have them on me...must have left them somewhere.*

OOC: Talk about a penchant for the dramatic. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Indeed, though Rin looks older on the outside, it is not hard to see past to the scared little girl within, and it is that scared little girl that quickly decides:*

"I'd like it if we did it together...Let's both get better as quickly as we can before something else awful happens."

"Very well then," Senyuki nods, smiling at Rin, then turns to Yuriko, "Remove your clothing and we will anoint you and then let you soak in the blessed pool as we complete the ritual, sending good energy to you as it absorbs the Taint away."
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Umm...no, not very flattering at all" Valyssa admits, a bit creeped out by that, "Though I have to admit, she does have a gift...someone should hire her or something."

(OOC: Dramatic? Who, me or Rysalla? Both?)

"I'd like it if we did it together...Let's both get better as quickly as we can before something else awful happens."

*Yuriko nodded approvingly, then looked to Master Senyuki for guidance.*

"Very well then," Senyuki nods, smiling at Rin, then turns to Yuriko, "Remove your clothing and we will anoint you and then let you soak in the blessed pool as we complete the ritual, sending good energy to you as it absorbs the Taint away."

*Yuriko bowed and looked for a changing screen or something similar before simply disrobing in front of everyone. She was not modest, but there was some propriety to be aware of. If she did not see a changing screen, she would disrobe in front of everyone . . . self-conscious of the scar on her face.*[/SBLOCK]
