Sanguinolency Petrichor - Solo Write
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
TW: Death & Blood
“This is it.” The guardian thought, falling from the cliff above, “This is how my story comes to an end.”
He opened his eyes, his vision dimming and worsening due to his blood loss from the fight.
He redirected his gaze to the top of the cliff, where his smug enemy stood. The look on his face made the hero want to scream, shout, keep fighting, anything...
But he couldn't. He's been thrown off, and now he's going to die, his existence tainted by his one failure.
He tried to calm down. He's not going to give his antagonist the achievement of making him sob.
He shook his head. He's been falling for only a couple of seconds, but his mind was racing.
He couldn't fail them. The kingdom. His village. His friends. Amami.
Everyone who believed in him, everyone who was there for him.
Everyone who loved him.
“No.” He managed to say determinedly in a hoarse whisper.
He reached for his dagger and held it in his hands, gripping onto it as if it was his final shred of comfort.
He tried to focus on the jewels of the dagger, as his blood tainted them a fair crimson.
The dagger started to duly glow.
He mentally nodded, knowing that even if he may not survive, at least the people he fought for would be protected.
“Please... Don’t fail...”
His closed his eyes and took in his final moments.
Other than the overcast sky, the weather was nice. His friends would be racing horses at home.
The sounds of crickets and cicadas made a symphony, one that the children of the village would try to catch.
The air smelled of petrichor and blood. Ignoring the second scent, he thought back to his proposal to Amami.
She said yes, as long as he promised to take her to see the world. He wished he could've been the one to show her.
She deserved everything.
His eyes fluttered enough for him to see how long he has left, and let out a weak sigh.
It was a shame that his life was so short. Twenty-two years. Such an ephemeral.
The ground grew closer.

Intriguing and very well written. I can't wait for this to start!
Name: Calvin-Finnigan Temburlin. Goes by Calfin. (First name derived from "cala" and "fuine" meaning light and shadow in Tolkien elvish).
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Cheerful and kind. Not easily moved to anger. Speaks softly (even when angry which is most bone chilling of all) but clearly, cutting through even the loudest of crowds; every word seems carved into granite and everyone listens when he speaks. He has opinions but tends not to press it when someone disagrees with him. This goes out the window when he is caring for someone or the well being of his patient is involved. Goes into sudden phases of moody-ness and anger. He lashes out when it is least expected, when a moment ago he was being kind. He can be extremely dangerous to friend and enemy alike when he is in these moods.
Appearance: Startling blond hair, so blond it is white. Tan skin pairs somewhat oddly with his hair. His eyes are just as startling as his eyes, though probably only because they seem to defy the albino of his hair. They are a deep blue-green -- so dark they look black unless one looks very closely -- that reflect absolutely no light. They seem to be made of shadows. He is tall and rather skinny. Very graceful, each movement he makes has a deliberate-ness to it. His hands are thin and fine fingered, and very nimble. Wears: very wide legged pants (they look somewhat like a hakama) and loose shirts. Ususally in browns and greens.
Backstory (Optional): Can't think of anything. You can make it up.
Fighter, Healer, Scholar, or Mage?: Healer.
Strengths: He is an amzing healer and will withhold nothing if your life is in danger. He prefers not to risk his life, not because he is afraid of death but because he knows he can't help heal someone when he is dead. However, if his death would allow his patients to live he would give his life willingly.
Weaknesses: Takes the deaths of his patients personally and grieves to the utmost degree. Blaming himself for their death. His sudden boughts of anger is also a weakness. It can result in the death of people because he refuses to help them.
Other: Are you perhaps Morning or Rainbow Riot?
(May 25, 2021 - 11:00 am)
No, I'm neither of those wonderful people :)
(Amazing character by the way, he's exactly what I needed!)
(May 25, 2021 - 12:57 pm)
Did you perhaps join your own solowrite? Meaning, are you Wreeboo?
(Glad my character it what you needed!)
(May 26, 2021 - 10:57 am)
I would prefer Calfin did not get shipped.
(June 2, 2021 - 9:37 am)
I don't have time at the moment, but I'm definitely joining! The intro is so intriguing and beautifully written.
(May 25, 2021 - 12:39 pm)

are you perhaps silver crystal?
(May 25, 2021 - 1:31 pm)
No! Good try though! :)
(May 25, 2021 - 3:20 pm)

Could I reserve, but submit my character once a chapter or two had been written so I can see more what kind of a world this is? Because this sounds really interesting and your writing is really compelling so I don't want to miss this, but I want to make something that works with the world and plot. Also, what's the age limit for charries?

Name: Tallia Leifton
Age: 18
Gender: Female, she/her
Personality: Very much an extrovert, will talk your ear off if you let her, a huge chatterbox. She jumps from idea to idea in seconds, very scatterbrained and forgets things easily. If she thinks of something she’ll blurt it out immediately, often interrupting someone else. She’s earnest and really loves helping other people. She tends to try to see the good in everyone until they give her a concrete reason not to, and she tries to be everyone’s friend.
Appearance: Light brown hair that falls in ringlets to her shoulders, pale skin, a round face, hazel eyes, relatively short. She usually wears pants and tunics in light colors.
Backstory: Nothing too notable, she always wanted to help people and thought being a healer was the best way to do it. Other than that it’s up to you!
Fighter, Healer, Scholar, or Mage?: Healer
Strengths: Kindness, quick thinking, healing.
Weaknesses: Forgetful, sometimes too trusting.
I can't wait to read this! Are you Lumi?
(May 26, 2021 - 1:36 pm)
@Quill, No, I'm not Lumi <3
@Blackfooted Bobcat, Of course! That's perfectly fine! I suppose the youngest you can go is 15, unless you want to make an extra on the side.
@Anyone Planning To Make A Character, If you don't mind, we're good on Healers, so please pick something else.
@Everyone, Forgot to mention; You can make up to three main characters, and an unlimited amount of extras. Please mention if your character is an extra in the charrie sheets, otherwise I'll assume they're a main character. You can add characters whenever.
