Another step

Sah

Sah had given himself a few days to be with his kids before returning to Safrin. He couldn't possibly wait any longer. Not when his probable trip to Starfall loomed. Entering the shrine, he placed a glass ball on the altar. The orb's colors shifted in the light of the shrine, scattering shades of blue across the surface. Within its center was a white crystal star. This one had only taken a few attempts now that he was getting used to working with glass. Kneeling and bowing his head, the Wild Thunder prayed.

"Safrin. If you have a moment? I'm ready to begin the second amulet." The ring for Luka, the son he'd already failed once. Not again. Never again.

Sah is asking for his second teleportation amulet quest! If he doesn't roll high enough, please use 450MP!

I think therefore I am,
But what if all I do is bleed?

Safrin

The shrine darkened—not with shadow, but with the hush of anticipation, like the moment before a meteor streaks across the sky. The flicker of candles danced taller, steadier, as if in recognition of the one who approached. Then, with the gentle rustle of starlight and silk, Safrin stepped into view.

She emerged not from the heavens above, but from the shimmer cast by Sah’s offering. Her form materialized slowly, deliberately, her expression already softened by the familiarity of this ritual, of this man, and the weight behind his devotion.

Her gaze dropped to the orb on the altar, and a faint smile curved her lips. "You’re improving," she murmured, reaching out to brush her fingers along the glass. The blue hues caught in her skin, glimmering faintly as she touched the white crystal star at its center. "Fitting. Steady and bright."

Then she looked to Sah. There was no teasing this time, no sharp edge to her beauty or tone. Only a quiet gravity—an understanding that this wasn’t just duty, or pride. This was protection shaped by love, desperate and enduring. "Let us begin again. For Luka this time."

Didn't roll high enough so used MP <3

In order to create a one-use teleportation item, Sah must:

1. Complete a thread finding or have made two whatever (stones, necklaces, rings, etc) to serve as the item
2. Complete a thread bleeding on both items
3. Leave them out beneath the starlight

Code blatently stolen from queen of codes, Sky!

Sah

Sah was surprised to see Safrin emerge from his offering, a quiet pride filled him at her words and acknowledgment of his effort. "Thank you." He knew that he could have just used magic to craft his offering, but it felt impersonal to do so. Using a combination of his magic and his hands gave the offerings more meaning in his eyes. They required more effort, and all aspects of himself. And wasn't that the kind of thing that he should be offering his sworn Goddess? Sah thought so.

He nodded sharply, grateful for Safrin's continued support in his goal to protect Soliel and Luka. Every time he was further reminded as to why he had sworn life, limb, and soul to the Goddess before him. "Yes. For Luka."

When given permission to leave, Sah went straight to the forge to start working on the rings.
