In Regards to Death Knight's Delusion

Hello Gentle Readers ;D Um, okay, so Death Knight's Delusion is a companion piece to Faerie Glamour located in the folder maintained by Lord Ayreg (omg, like I totally forgot the name of it, and I don't want to go look). It is, essentially, the same events from Faerie Glamour, but from Amthy's point of view. Unlike Faerie Glamour, where the story ends with Amthy's demise, the conclusion/aftermath will be in Death Knight's Delusion. Side note: It was hard to write so please excuse the random (or not so random) typographical and/or grammatical error(s). Ahaha, and the title of the thread Death Knight's Delusion is only me having fun~ cause he named his Faerie Glamour, and since it was a companion piece I wanted a matching-ish title.

I am rewarding myself by reading a post of the Death Knight thread every time I write a paragraph for my term paper!

"What? I did my homework for this? Pfffft!"

Of course it is! It is inspiring me to write faster (though, we shall see how my essay fairs because of that) so I can read more. I would just completely forgo the whole writing the essay part just to read but my professor is terrifying.

It has been very enjoyable so far, I like getting inside Amthy's head.

In Regards to Death Knight's Delusion

Ahaha, I am a very slow poster. I think that warning so deserves to be said~ I'm going to try and get this thread done before I leave on my trip (I will be gone from May 23rd - June 18th, though I will probably be taking a few days past that to recoup)

This thread is a companion piece, so, all the events in Faerie Glamour already happened as far as RT chat is concerned. Yes, I know that you (the reader) don't know what happens yet to Amthy's body~ but that's because I'm slow. And really, it shouldn't matter just yet in RP what happened to it, 'cause only certain people would have the means to be aware that something is wrong. And I'm like gonna outline them here cause I'm lazy :D

Caytlin Benn'et - She'd notice an absence/void in the special rapport they share...which she already has because, lookie, there are mourning wolves for people to speculate on~

Miles Vincent Malign & Morpheus - They each have in their possession physical manifestations of Amthy's magic (heart beads, which serve as the vessels that hold all of her tender emotions for either person) they, at the time of her death, ceased to exist. They probably turned into lil tiny mounds of unmagical dust.

Annnd I think that's it. I don't think anyone else owns anything created from her magic.

Random-ish Update
Bwahaha, so, I'm back from my trip~ (well, have been for a few days) I expect to have the rest of this thread finished up by the end of July. I have a whole bunch of offline work to get caught up on before I can even dream about writing....and my birthday month starts on the first >D So-o I expect many mini-holidays and present buying trips ;D (yes, I really celebrate my birthday for 31 days XDD Amthy's birthday month tradition is actually based on my own tradition ;D so, like, for a while there art was imitating life! Heh.) My first outing is this sunday~ I have an auction I'm going to up North <33 Therefore, I'm not sure if anything will be added to the thread this week.

edit: so I lied. I ended up posting :P Amazing what you can do when you decide /not/ to work.

In the past I've maintained a journal for Amthy before (like for three or so years until a flaw in phpbb allowed the board to be compromised and I lost everything there. I tried to remake it, but it's hard to do) but I figure that diary is somewhere in the Chateau, and right now, Amthy is staying at Ardane.

And I'm lazy-ish.

Yup, you heard it here first ;D I have no desire to flip through from one BB to another just for a diary. So, um, yeah, I'm gonna make one here instead. I might cross-post it to the other board in the future, though.

note: sometimes images are included in the journal entries. If not visible, try refreshing~

It's November and that means one thing: NaNoWriMo! Except, I don't know if I'm feeling it this year. This would be my third NaNo, too ;D Instead (thanks to a wonderful suggestion by R), I'm going to partake in different activity in another community. Granted, I don't actually *belong* to that community so all my work will be posted on this board. The work being 100 word prompts completed for this month. I'm not sure what sort of format this will take ;D I'm still rolling a few around in my head.

A very belated update about Destined to Drown

While I have more posts written for the thread (several infact!) I am putting that story on hiatus for the moment. The inevitable (to me) conclusion, is not something I feel up to putting my lil Amthy through just yet.

In regards to Not All Things Are Meant To Last

This story was originally written summer of '05 (if I am recollecting correctly~) and posted to the board I maintain for Amthy. After much thought, I believe that the story has a place here as many of the stories written about Amthy in the last year-to-year-and-a-half are heavily influenced by what transpired in that story arc.

edit: the last thing I want to do is spam the homepage~ so, hopefully, I can unsticky the thread sometime tomorrow and close it ;D

Hm, this post is for me and Cayt's player's reference :D There's no reason for anyone to read it really. I just am throwing this up here in case I lose it (again) on my HDD...which I have a horrible habit of doing.


----


Amthy is a Fae air elemental?a Sylph. She is a fragment of the ?soul of nature? and the personification of a breeze. In that way, she is soul-less herself since she is part of the ?soul? of another entity. Generally speaking, Sylphs are believed to be mindful of living in the present and not the past or future, and Amthy is no different. As a member of the Seelie (Blessed) court, she is mostly kind and helpful to others, but even a helpful faerie is something to be wary of. Like most other Sylphs, she has a close affiliation with butterflies and birds. She has since lost the ability to assume the appearance of a butterfly (an ability she regained briefly as a pixie). In her natural state, Amthy is transparent and has nearly no substance. Given what she is, if summoning magic is performed that calls to air; she may (or may not >D) respond to lend her aid.

Why then do I call her a Fae Changeling?
Because she is a changeling if one takes into account that a changeling is: ?A child surreptitiously or unintentionally substituted for another.? Amthy was not ?born.? In her natural state she has no corporal body. She is a timeless and ageless fragment of nature. She was unlucky enough to have her True Name divined by an Unseelie solitary faerie. The faerie Hildegarde used this knowledge to bond Amthy (against her will) to a physical form to serve as the soul for the creature/poppet/golem Hildegarde had created. This is how Amthy came by her body, or what she refers to as her ?shell.? With her new physical form she gained self-awareness and emotions. What Hildegarde intended to do with the newly created entity is what warrants the use of changeling.

Amthy?s initial form was of a Sidhe. Her shell is plastic and is easily manipulated by strong, continuous magic (usually foreign). Her shell also demands a great deal of magic to maintain its form and function. Hildegarde wove spells into her body and hair that needed to be strengthened ever-so-often, and this is why cutting her hair was considered a mortal injury since it removed some of the spells.

Shortly after her arrival in Rhy?Din, after she fled from Hildegarde?s Garden, she was transformed into a pixie by another faerie named Mysty Snow. She was given this new form to hide her should anyone come across the Veil to find her. After Amthy acquired the appearance of a pixie, she was no longer able to assume the guise of a sidhe. It also freed some of her air abilities. Originally, Amthy could not assume a human size or shape. That ability was granted by Mysty nearly year after she was turned into a pixie.

Nearly two years (RT) after Amthy began living in Rhy?Din, she was bonded to her mentor, Silvanous. Silvanous is an oak tree spirit that lives in a Faerie Ring in the woods near the Malign Chateau. With this affiliation she gained a minor earth magic ability and the ability to siphon Silvanous? power to sustain her shell. Several years after the beginning of the bond Amthy?s shell was changed again from the prolonged exposure to Silvanous? magic/essence. She became a wood nymph, or to be more accurate, a dryad. She gained many of the abilities associated with that form, but in turn found that she was cut off from her native element. This was a recipe for disaster since it caused Amthy to be very unstable in every way conceivable.

Did she die?
Yes, she did. Her physical shell was slain. The entity that is Amthy, however, cannot be destroyed.

How then did she come back to life?
She was still bound to her shell due to the fact that the body had not been destroyed. While her body was being kept in her sacred grove a great deal of magic was dumped into it until the shell could function again. As a side effect, she also lost her memory for most of the year (and of course she didn?t have any memories while her shell was deceased), all of her magical connections were severed, and her two elements are roughly balanced (though that balance can shift at any time).

To show my support for the player of Tara Rynieyn I am going on hiatus. When I discover how things pan out I will make my decision on whether I will continue to rp on DM or not.
