Braith Castern

NPC

0 · 481 views · located in Khadian

a character in “Quest for the Everstone”, as played by xXxCryptic-AngelxXx

Description

Name: Braith Castern
Age: 17
Gender: male
Appearance: Image
Personality: Braith is a bit apathetic and is incredibly blunt. The only thing he really understands is getting where he wants to be which is a position of power. A place where he can be seen and loved without all the effort it took to make relations with someone. He's selfish, but not unkind. You just have to know the right thing to ask of him. He's lived a life without love, maybe some love or friendship could bring him back to the light. Make him realize that there's more to this world then the power he wants.
Wish: power
Weapon of choice: Bo shuriken (throwing needles)
Kingdom: Hannivall
Background: Braith's parents left him as a baby to fend for himself in the outside world. As. A. Baby. Realistically, he had no hope, but if someone found him, he would survive. And someone did. Roderick Von Firth. He raised the boy, but not as his own. No. The boy was without magic and so of no great use to the man beyond that of a servant and so he raised the child to do his bidden. Not exactly a loving relationship, but Braith loved Roderick as a father and would do most anything for him. But he would also enjoy an opportunity at power. So he's given a mission from Roderick that he would never refuse. Find the others and spy.

So begins...

As Clive led the way to the healer he could hear Altair attempt to stifle coughs the whole way. He was getting worse but they weren't far from their destination. The prince kept track of every breath Braith made. If he was going to do something to them it seemed like he would wait for an opening. There was always the possibility that Clive was wrong but he wasn't about to chance it. As they walked Clive continued to make a mental map of every inch of ground they walked. It would be useful later if something were to happen. It wasn't long until the trio reached their destination and they seemed to be in luck. The healer himself, an old merc of a man with white hair and yellowed teeth. From the stories Clive had heard he was a great combat medic who decided to live a more simple life as a herbalist after the wars. The prince had met this man twice but had never introduced himself as royalty. Before they began to converse with the healer the prince pulled Braith to the side. "I need you to tell no one who I am!" The prince said in a serious tone. He wasn't sure how to handle Braith at the moment but he was sure he'd listen if the prince asked in earnest. He didn't explain, instead he walked up to the old man. "Rodney," he said. "I'm afraid I need your help again my friend." He said while holding out his hand for a shake. Rodney's eyes lit up at the princes words. "Why, if it isn't Clive! I'm surprised you're still alive with all the stupid stunts you used to pull." He said with a chuckle as he shook the princes hand. He gestured the trio inside and they all followed his lead. After about ten minutes of questions for Altair and an hours wait on the medicine Clive could hear the girls coming back from their shopping trip. It seemed like Rodney was about done with the medicine so Clive took Altair outside to meet up with his sister and the rest of the group.

As the girls approached the medic Carina saw Clive and Altair walk outside. Altairs eyes lit up when he saw Carina and he ran towards her. "Carina!" he shouted as he ran to hug her. Carina hugged him back glad to see he was safe. She looked up towards Clive and nodded her head to thank him for keeping Altair safe. As Altair pulled away from her he began to cough. Carina knelt down next to him and looked him over. His face was pale and he was sweating a lot, the signs of his heart straining. Carina looked up at Clive with panic in her eyes. "Where's the medicine? Did you get it? He needs it. Now!" she said in a panic. She looked back down at her brother to see he was starting to have trouble breathing. She looked back at him. "Breathe Altair. Take deep breaths. Breathe slowly. You need to keep breath..-" She started to say but was cut of by her brother falling into her arms. "Altair!" she yelled catching him in her lap. She looked at her brother who was luckily still conscious. "Look at me baby. Just breathe. The medicine is coming." She said as he made eye contact with her. He slowly reached over and pointed to the pocket that had the stone in it. Carina looked down and pulled the shard out and held it in front of him. He smiled slightly and put his hand to the shard. As his hand reached the shard tears started to run from Carina's eyes as the stone started to brighten up. "Come on Altair. Breathe for me okay?" she said trying to hold her tears back.

Arwen had heard the edge to Clive's voice and saw the set of his jaw as he talked to the new arrival to the party. His reaction made her heart quicken and with a small tap, she disappeared into the mirrored hallway. She heard tapping in the distance and appeared quickly. Viola's face seemed to take up the entire surface of the mirror and Arwen gasped. "Too Close, Viola, move it back." Raising a dark eyebrow, Viola did as she was asked. "What's up Arwen? You seem.. panicked?" Viola asked as she lead the girls back towards camp. "Someone new joined the guys and he seems to make Clive uneasy. Please hurry back, Viola!" She cried before disappearing back down the hallway and appeared before Clive once more. He seemed to be on edge, but much calmer. They were at the medicine shop now and there seemed to be no trouble. Maybe Clive was wrong? No, there was still an edge to his demeanor even while talking to.. is that Rodney? She smiled a little. Then there was a tug at her chest, sharp enough to cause her to hiss in pain. Something was happening to her body. Something.. Not good.

Viola frowned at the empty mirror surface, wondering how, once the princess disappeared, it didn't reflect her face anymore. Almost as soon as the thought crossed her mind, there she was. She grimaced. She was filthy and her hair was a mess. No wonder the old man in the shop had been suspicious of them. Carina and Rowas were new enough to the adventure that they were more or less clean. There was a little dirt and mess from sleeping in a cave and traveling through a forest but it had no burns, sand, or grass stains from the adventures she and Clive had in the tower.

Rowas was quiet nearly the entire time. She prefered watching over talking. It was easier to read people that way. She silently, but gratefully accepted the throwing knives. Now she didn't feel as defenseless in case someone came up to her with weapons. She could use her fists and feet, but against a steel blade she was nothing.

As the girls returned to camp, she saw Altair, Clive, and a new person--A boy with pale skin and equally pale hair and dark eyes--come out of the cover of the trees. "Clive!" She called to him and practically ran towards him. She was happy to see him, that was obvious enough, but it wasn't because he was handsome (which he was) or she fancied him (which she didn't) he was just the most familiar and she trusted him the most out of the group. She was careful about her greeting though, she stopped just a foot away from him. If the princess and the boy had a thing (which it was obvious they did) she didn't want to get between them. "Who's the new kid?" She asked.

That's when Altair seemed to collapse. Viola hadn't paid much attention to Carina's frantic talk when it came to her brother because she was always treating the boy as if he was made of glass. She was screaming at them now and when she turned back, Altair was in his sisters arms. Not broken just... not breathing. She turned to Clive and held her hand out for the medicine. "I'll give it to him. Keep an eye out?"





Far away in Hannivall, Lord Roderick Van Firth was up to no good, as most villains do.

This particular act of.. well evil involved the transferring of spirits. In this case, the soul of his lover to the body of the princess. If he wanted the stone then he would have to enact the next phase of his plan a little early. An heir. A magical heir. Once magic was restored, the princess's body would be inhabited and he would have a child-- or children whatever it took to get an heir who would be legitimate since his "wife" would be the princess, who he intended to marry not long after the ceremony. He wanted a big showy wedding. Not because he wanted the world to be jealous, but a big showy wedding meant witnesses. It was more believable and harder to negate if the whole kingdom had seen it. And without magic that would take time. That was fine with him. Let the princess's warriors hear her call and gather the pieces. It would be his soon anyway. Then the world would be his.

They were going to begin the ceremony soon. It involved a lot of ancient language he needed someone skilled to read, a lot of candles, and--unfortunately--a lot of blood. The marks were already being placed on the princess' "sleeping" form. It won't be long now he thought with a dark grin.

Clive quickly looked to Rodney. "Is it done yet!" He asked a bit rudely out of worry. He had promised to protect Altair however there was nothing more he could do against this enemy. It was solely in Rodney's capable hands. The medic just pointed inside. "On the workstation to the right. A blue liquid in a glass bottle. It should be the only blue one." Clive nodded in response and sprinted inside. He quickly ran towards the worktable and began moving around bottles frantically. It didn't take him long to find the blue bottle with a solid wooden cork. As he ran back he bit the cork with his teeth and spit it aside. He quickly handed the vile to Viola and waited to see what would happen. He realized he didn't have time to answer anyone's questions. For now they were all hoping the medicine would do it's job.

Carina took the vile of medicine from Viola and quickly gave it to Altair. "Please. Please be okay Altair." she said waiting to see if the medicine would work. After a few minutes of waiting Altair's breathing slowed down and he started to come to. He looked up at Carina and smiled slightly. "See? I told you I would be okay." he said half jokingly. Carina glared at him but then quickly hugged him. "Don't ever do that again!" she said hugging him tightly. Altair hugged back feeling bad for scaring his sister. Carina looked up at the others who were watching over "Thank you for saving him. We might need a few of those to go." she said turning to look at the medicine maker.
