For Rhalia:
Though my eyes may not see… The light of my shield guides me... The darkness which surrounds still no fear will be found... trudging through this dreary place, protected from the evils I may face..."

For Clementine Drindl:
(Fast thinking)Oh, the shield of light! Ignites a cold, lonely night. The zombies stay, oh so far away, away from the shield of light. The light of the shield does grow. And seemingly, brighter so. The hallways ablaze, seemingly to stay, bright as the shield of light!

(Entry song) Without Sunrifter we grow weak...without the shield of light, we do not speak. In tongues known quite well, our silence a knell without the holy bright. The zombies rage and fume, with light too little, not soon. The simplest of acts, without too much tax, betrays our lowly keep. And with a shield we glow, as above, so below. In the darkness, we weep, and still must not keep, our eyes so grave and slow. The dance of the shield is great. I shall not remain awake, without light to see, and becoming as we, are oft found to claim our stake. The night is long and dark, I see not a single spark. But that light does indeed grow and always quite so, behold the shield of light!

For Falx Monde:

Solomon sells shields of light, since he can't sew, seed or smite.
He paints 'em pretty, polished with pride, practical and pointy shields of light.
Feeds the family from the fees, forges a few for fighting foes.
In darkness they dwell, dangerous and dim, those that don't yet see.
The shield of light comes for thee!

A face screams, the sky shakes
In the temple a young man breaks
A dagger falls, a shield he takes

Made of metal, light pierces dark,
A change of fates before the crier barks.
A rogue before, now an enchanter embarks

The man sets forth, grabs his powder,
Silent steps have become louder,
And yet in his shield he couldn't be prouder

And yet the light, one day would fail
The enchanter path the rogue would bail
And left forgot it's light would pale

Oh Shield of Light once proudly bought
Alongside your master you once long fought
And then discarded, with nary a thought.

There once was a shield of light,
Whose glow was incredibly bright,
It kept us all safe,
Even more so than Raffe,
And lit up our faces with delight!


Am really rubbish at this kind of thing :D

Orange: The color of Rifter at first light, casting the demon eyes away and of sunsets beckoning Trinald to rest. Of harvests and pumpkins come into season, and candyballs filling the hands of kids in the streets. The color of knowledge and wisdom, and of lessons learned through hardship. And the color of fire, the gods' first gift to mortals. In short, orange is the color of life both at the beginning, and at the end.

For Falx Monde:

Black is not a color they say, nor is white.
Black is what you get though, if you mix enough colors.
Black is the first thing you see before you open your eyes in this world, and the last you see, before you leave it.
Black is the beggining and the end.
One of the two that aren't, black is.

Black is the heart of those moved by hate.
Black is the soul of those lost to evil.
Black is the hair of the fairest maidens.
Black is the fabric of the noblest clothes.
One of the two that aren't, black is.

Black is the invigorating chocolate in the cold.
Black is the soot in the hot volcano.
Black is the fresh earth after spring rain.
Black turn the leaves as they fall.
One of the two that aren't, black is.
Turcko, Falx Monde, Ivan Monde, Argoth

Red, oh red why are you feeling some crimson? For those that know me, know once upon a turn I sought with all my interest to be a warrior.

I had something posed to me once: "Why do warriors wear red?" many answers I was told, until one struck true on the battlefield. "We wear red so others can't see us bleed." Blood the scarlet color that floors through us all.

That color has always stuck with me, from the hair on my head down to the name emblazoned upon my blade, 'Percy' by someone on high.

Purple

Vivid purple deep and dark, eye of lavender from my start.
Born with eyes of such hue, was clear my name before my first coo.
Velvety rich, lush and all, it was fate I was made for it all..
Rising rifter or setting too... the sky will dawn such a hue,
and in the quiet of the marc, to the sky I turn to watch
The stars fade or appear, in the folds of the glistening heavens so near.
Rich and royal a color if ever there was, and is such a color that I love.

My favourite colour is teal, the colour of the sea. Peace, calm and tranquility ... no need to say anymore.

Green.
The color of the endless plains and the tallest canopies. Spreading out as far as you can see, nothing holding you back, just green trees, green grass...freedom.

For Rhalia:

(Context): Rhalia arrives from the bank all dressed in tones of blue: Indigo Blossom, Black Dress Cape, Exceptional Black Boots, Colorfully Dyed Blue Silk Bracelet, Fine Blue Silkspun Clothing.
(BIO): To help himself emphasize his enjoyment of the color blue for Magistra, he’s wearing his most elegant outfit.
He wears a fine blue silk-spun suit, adorn with an indigo blossom, held in place by his blue and silver guild pendant.. On his wrist, is a delicate and lovely blue silk bracelet given to him by someone special.
To accent the blue, he wears a find black dress cape with matching black boots.

(Roleplay) *Considers something* Now how am I supposed to record an interpretive dance into the glowing book?
Dressed almost entirely in blue, he begins his dance, Letting out a breath… He loosens his entire body, his arms and legs are free and fluid like water. The look of his face, and the posture of his body show an air of tranquility that one might associate with the color blue.
His steps and movements are smooth and graceful like The silk of his outfit.
With a final flourish, he jumps into the air doing a somersault, resembling a raindrop falling from the blue sky... sticking the landing perfectly, he breeze heavily from the exertion.

The High King's Balcony. A Young Couple in foolish love declarations. The God's disapproving gaze from the Rifter.
A dark cave. A nestled man is down on the ground wailing. A caring relative tries to calm him, never leaving his side. Here it was that the power of Sunrifter was found.
An enormous door, flanked by titans. The careless blossoming of love thought lost. Sparrowflower waits.

The ferry, take flight if you wish the sight,
Pass the temple without a prayer, for you won't see it there.
Through the gates soon your destination awaits.
Quickly head east, avoid the beast
then turn right, then towards the light,
Into the cave, you must stay brave
Now keep it straight, lest you meet your fate.
Into the dark, then on your back you'll park
Stare into the night sky, a crystalline lie,
dancing stars abound, with none around.
Now take a rest, you've finished your quest
And enjoy your prize, the crystal night skies.
