Fiery Snakes o' Doom [Ability Thread - Finished]

[Nathalia]

Bernard looked thoroughly shocked for the first time in ages...he hadn't expected the spell to work that well... perhaps an intelligent bander...or bird...not an actual person!

This was beyond incredible. He could only stare as the red haired girl threw herself at his nephew, hugging him tightly and...he couldn't mistake it, hissing at one of the fiery snakes.

"But...but this is fantastic! She even knows your name! Marie, is it? Marie, tell me...how are you feeling? What's it like on the other plane? Are there others like you? DO you think it would be possible to cross over?"

He couldn't stem the flood of questions, what if each Heart could be issued a sentient weapon from the other plane from birth? A friend to grow up with, a playmate...a lifelong partner who would assist them in their climb to power...the implications were astronomical!

"Serafino...this is amazing!"

Marie wanted dearly to ignore the annoying uncle's questions, thrilled with her sudden and unexpected physicality, but they were too persistent. She turned her head and glared at him. "How do I feel? Like you're ticking me off. Leave me alone." She turned back to the Queen and leaned back, arms still around his torso, beaming and happy once again. "This body's a lot weirder than the other one. Not as sharp or destructive. Pretty, though. I'm glad you have a good imagination. I could be your sister-who-isn't-an-idiot."

As she laughed and detached herself from him, twirling around a little to test out the new body, Fino couldn't do anything but stare. This was surreal, completely and utterly unbelievable. His uncle was quite right... it was amazing. "I can still feel her in my head," he said in bemusement, turning to look at Bernard.

The girl turned and laughed again, swishing her skirts. "Of course you can. I'm still your summon. You can just... hear me better now. None of the others have summoners half so neat as you. I'm always out more than they are, the weenies. They just won't believe this." She hummed happily, then tilted her head and paused. She looked like she was concentrating... and then her form changed again.



A cat-snake! She just about bounced, she was so excited. It came out as more of a writhing wiggle. "And I've got the other forms too! For all that your uncle's a git, he's pretty powerful." She stuck out her tongue at the King, a golden yellow to match her eyes and quite long.

Bernard's face remained in a mask of delight.

"She's insulted me! She's capable of rationale thought, emotion, and sarcasm! This is amazing!"

He cried, arms flung out to the sides like a raving lunatic, hair slowly slipping out of its tie and becoming mussed as it did, looking rather dirtier than it had before, emphasizing as it came loose, the long scars on his face, crinkled partially up into his smile.

The King raced to his bookshelves, tugging down a heavy volume and grasping wildly for a pot of ink. He managed one...and fumbled another, ignoring it as it smashed to the floor, slamming the book down on his desk, thumbing through it toward the back before it had even hit.

Jamming the pen into the ink, he began to record as quickly as he could, the many details...including how often he had breathed during the incantation, into the heavy book. Desperately trying to cram in the pictures, sounds, and feelings in his mind before they evaporated. To be replaced with other possible solutions to other problems.

Other ways to improve on this experiment.

What it must be like to touch Marie.

Lin...

With an explosion of sudden fervor, he wrote faster.

He had completely forgotten that anyone else was in the room. Until he had recorded everything and cleaned up, it would not even occur to him to thank his nephew.
