Sayyid

Oracle. Shaman. Oathbreaker.

0 · 555 views · located in The Boiling Plains

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Gasmask

Description

Image
Sayyid has the appearance of a raggedy adventurer, his long black hair draped around his shoulders that smells of heavy incense and lavender, unkempt goatee and a collection of necklaces made out of demon teeth, animal claws and other trinkets.

Sayyid Oathbreaker once served as a village shaman in the outskirts of some tribal realm, serving his people faithfully till he met the love of his life, it was only a month before they were betrothed to each-other. Before the day of the wedding, Oathbreaker decided to cast the bones and see where his relationship would go... The sorcerer fled that very night, leaving his village and escaping into the night with a broken heart and utterly petrified at what the future held for him.

Sayyid left with the name Oathbreaker and with nothing but the charms and armour upon his back.


Spells & Abilities:
Sayyid has studied many forms of sorcery and divination, a skilled seer with the guts of dragons and princes. The oracle knows how to cast simple shields, see the future and throw fireballs, just like any other mage worth his salt.

However, Sayyid has an aptitude for seeing the future and enchantment. The catch is that his magic is purely fuelled by the lifeblood of others. Guts, blood and drugs power the enchantments and give unique insight to Sayyid.

The more powerful enchantment and the more detailed the predictions get, the more blood is needed.

Charms:

A small sculpture of a face hangs from Sayyid's belt, the face is the artistic visage of some forgotten deity. The trinket gives the wearer an unyielding immunity to mental attacks, any of those who attempt to read his mind and subjected to various debauched and disturbing mental images of torture, killings and other unspeakable things.

Two necklaces swing from Oathbreaker's neck.

The first is the tooth of a shark, viciously sharp and supposedly gives the wearer the senses of said predator. The downside to such a trinket is that it also gives the wearer the weaknesses of a shark.

The second necklace is of an oversized talon. An educated guess would be that it once belonged on the paw of a mighty dragon. The truth is that it once belonged on the wing-tip of a wyvern, still amazingly poisonous since it's removal. The talon gives it's bearer the ability to secrete poison from their fingertips. The poison is highly venomous, and causes the blood to thicken and congeal slowly within the veins.

So begins...

Sayyid had tensed his body for death but it did not rush up to greet him in torrent of water and the jagged surface rocks but it did not happen, instead he felt that strange tingling as something raised him out of danger and back onto the bridge. It didn't take a genius to figure out who was responsible for that parlor trick. "Thanks."

Sayyid crossed without a fuss and stood at the end, waiting for his companion to pass over the bridge too. It'd probably be less of a threat to her than it was to him, peeking over the side at the rushing water with a thin grimace.

"You alright passing on your own?"

"Of course," was Anvaera's reply, called over the wind. She strode forwards confidently, only the slightest twitch of her fingers betraying how carefully she was maintaining her balance and placing her steps. Her heartrate rose, but she was well practised in maintaining poise even in the face of fear.

Her light weight gave her an advantage in the crossing, and the planks of the bridge held. Eventually, though her crossing had been slow, she alighted on the far side and allowed herself a single deep breath out to fully regain her composure. "And so we cross from the wastes, I presume. What lies ahead?"

The map was useless now but Sayyid had heard legends of the city that lie infront of them, legends he didn't want to see given life. Sayyid pointed once more in the direction of the truly legendary Wing City. "A city that is larger than most. Twice as dangerous as the rest too." Sayyid said, turning around and standing to attention infront of Anvaera.

"Sayeth Anvaera. I don't wish to visit the city, so I think our partnership lies at an end." Sayyid replied, smiling.

"And where will you go from here?" the priestess inquired, "Or is that not something that your plans, such as they are, consider? You described yourself as a wanderer, I recall." Wanderers, in Anvaera's experience, paid little mind to destinations. They cared more for journeys.

Gazing into the distance, Anvaera picked out a forest beyond the mountains, and a greyish area that might have been the city that Sayyid spoke of. "Does this city have a name? It would do to have a destination I can quote to any I encounter, should I require direction."

"Somewhere, but not there. The name of the city is Wing City. A dangerous place right now, or forever is, I've yet to decide between the two." The shaman replied with a shrug. "You might find a few people between here and there, but I think the danger is gone, the wastes are the most unruly of the nearby places." Sayyid gave her a grim smile, almost mournfully.

He had begun to like this stranger, she was reserved and he had begun to look past her apparent detachment of emotions. They were both chosen of their gods, still, it would be time to split sooner or later.

"I will find somewhere to go. Farewell, Sayeth Anvaera."

"May you walk in the Light's warmth, Sayyid. Perhaps we will meet again someday, if the fates will it." Anvaera inclined her head respectfully, smiling to him. "Farewell, and Maraé bless you in your endeavours to come."

With that said, the priestess turned and began to walk in the direction of the distant forest.

The entrance of the cave echoed with the scrabbling of boots and the screeching of a scavenger bird. The cawing continued until it ended abruptly with a loud snap, the lights had attracted someone else to the camp. The figure at the entrance cast his bloodshot eyes into the cave and snapped a fireball to life in his right hand.

The bones hadn't warned him of this, was there another here?

"Hail." Sayyid shouted into the cave. The mage wasn't sure how a man carrying a dead vulture in one hand and a magic spell in the other would go down with whoever was in the cave, but hopefully they didn't take him as hostile.
