DEIMOS
They were all ghosts at one point or another – Deimos had a litany of them, tucked away in the junctures of his memories and the hollowed portions of his ribs. But Iskra had made them tangible, where many wraiths couldn’t be. He caught the slip but didn’t say anything on it; fully aware of the sharp pain that came with loss, how ties slipped together, knotted, gnarled, or cut away thereafter. So he nodded at the description, a flicker of a grin at the notions of a greataxe, even if it had already been nearly lost. “You could always place the recall right on the item. Make it smaller in a charm. There are ways and options.” Preferences were exactly that; Iskra would figure it out as time went on.As far not yet finishing his own quest, he snorted. “Sometimes there are many steps,” came on a shrug; the Sword was hardly complacent, busy in multitudes and finding time to commit to his own growth when it was available. “That could work. We can try it and see, and if it is too much, we alter it.” No rush, no holds barred, experimentation in wielding one thing after another.
He did laugh briefly though, as he turned and saw the flicker of frost foxes nearby – nearly crouching towards the one who’d stopped for a closer peek, before it hastened off, closer to walls. “Maybe they wanted a show.”
He purposefully put more distance between them, giving ample room for what he was about to unfurl. Given that they had to be defensive procedures, the first thought would always be much like Iskra’s – a shield, a guard. He opted to go a different route, intending to amplify and test his own boundaries and limitations, by unfurling Air and Fire combined, fixing them together not unlike a miniature tornado, only this one purposefully wound around his figure. Strategically, he’d left little gaps in between puffs of wind and flame, so if Iskra was quite careful and precise, he’d be able to strive on a minor siege.
1/4 Deimos makes a Mastered Air and Fire tornado around himself, but with little gaps in between movements to give Iskra opportunities.
He was something solid
to lean against
violent and fierce and unmoving
