Re: Spirit Knight.
OOC tell me if I can't RP any of the following and I will alter or delete it if its a problem.
In character:
With in Istari tower is a room filled with plants. Each plant is cared over by a small pixie. Ceilings and walls are covered in wards that are designed to keep scrying spells, and various other incorpereal entities out. Ward also summons a earth elemental when Zolf enters. There is a plant that is highly carnivorous able to bite a humans hand off. Laying next to this plant are three books seemingly grown from wood.
Inside the pages of the books written in Sylvan are Zolf research notes. One book contains most of Zolf medical research, another contains his research of creatures he has encountered, last book details most of surrounding forests and its inhabitants.
The room its self belongs to Zolf, it is where he resides when inside the tower.

Subject: Elias Goodmane
Status: Living.
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Information: Current leader of the Weave masters, Elias involvement in events have always left doubt. He was raised to the rank of Exarch after the claim that Nahum has left the tower to travel. I suspect this is a cover story for the fact that Elias assassinated Nahum.
Involvement in the Ramset plague remains unclear as I must collect more data on his involvement. So far he has been linked by a bane agent to working with Annalese and empowering her with the entire Ramset family under her control.

Spirit Knight. (Moon light encounter)
Couple days before Zolf personality change...
Night air was cool under the mid night light. A group of trees hung over a small creek on top of a hill. Small holes were dug into the side of the creek bank. Judging from the foot prints around the hole it belonged to wolves.
It was a very clever hiding place for a lair. To bad the wolves now detested the very sight of it. Snarling and growling, their rage spurred Zolf forward. Glancing at their lair from a distance various animals from deer, to porcupine were torn apart. Surrounding tree's had deep claw marks that confirmed Zolf suspicion of wraith.
"Wait here." Zolf says as he approaches the lair. Wolves impatiently pace the boarder as they watch him walk forward.
Drawing closer to the lair it Zolf is able to sense four wraith in the area. Three of them circle around him in the tree tops and swoop in as they attempt to ambush him. Casting a chastise spirit the wraiths screech in pain as they are consumed by the energy burst. Their dark corpses fall to the ground as they rapidly decay apart.
Standing still Zolf begins to track the last wraith as it emerges from the wolf lair. Red eyes pierce him from the hole before the creature emerges from the hole. Slinking back into the forest it begins to spiral towards Zolf. Unsheathing the Foggy modified sword off his back, the golden blade shimmered in the light.
Clutching the Falcion above his head, Zolf prepared to end the fight in one strike. Wraith charged in straight in head long once it got with in twenty feet of Zolf. Slashing down wards the crack as twigs echoed through the forest. The creature twisted its body to its left narrowly dodging the blade.
Twisting the blade to face towards his right a horizontal strike slashes at the air. Darting above the blade, wraith lands behind Zolf. Extending its claws out it digs into the back of his armor. Plates buckle under the stress as the claws pierce into his back.
Thrusting his blade behind him the wraith squirms as it becomes impaled on the tip. Holding the blade with his left hilt he presses it behind as he feels the claws release him. Pulling the blade forward, pivoting on his left foot Zolf cuts through the creature. Pressing down on the blade with both hands to cleave cleanly through it.
With a thud the creature falls lifeless to the ground, glowing red eyes fade away. Gasping for air Zolf focuses on sensing his surroundings. Left hand already glowing over his chest as he works to heal any internal damage. For a faint moment his Falcion pulses briefly, for a few moments Zolf senses a spiritual presence coming off it.
He would have to ask Foggy more about the sword modifications he made...

Re: Spirit Knight.
Shortly after meeting Selah pulsing from the sword became more rapid. Considering it normal Zolf no longer noticed it. Yet he could feel piece of him was slowly being smothered away. Still he was content settling into his new life style.
Taking off his mask and stashing his armor away. Zolf found him self becoming more and more anxious. Instead of running medical tests he saw to running the Selah fan club. Devoting his time to creating Selah colectables in the form of dolls with muffin hats, posters, lunch boxes, shirts with her face printed on them. Determined to make his fan club the fan club of Selah. Fierce debates would rage between rival fan clubs.
Instead of training his sword man ship, he held fan club meetings. When faced with helping in the medical room he faints from the sight of blood. He was seen running through the tower screaming when a spider threatened to bite him.
Despite becoming more peaceful he couldn't bring him self to travel with out his sword. It remained strapped to his back. When pressed to unsheath it for even a few hours of training. His hand trembles as he physically appears to struggle to unsheath it just a inch.

Re: Spirit Knight.
Memories resurface in Zolf's dreams as he sleeps.
Ice wind dale ten years earlier...
Thud of his heart raced in his chest. Peering from behind a tree a shadowey figure moved slowly prowling through the forest. It stopped in its tracks and glanced around the forest. Pressing his back against the tree Zolf's heart began to race. Thoughts began to race through his mind "had he been seen?" "Should he make a run for it?"
Braving another glance, the figure had vanished with out a sound. Moving more out of cover he looked around bewildered where it had gone. Cold wet sting suddenly clung to his face. Stumbling over he fell face first into the snow.
Sound of laughter erupted from a bush to his left. A little girl in a a wool sweater and hat grinned at him. "Your awful at this game Zolf. At this rate you might as well just give me all your deserts until the next moon." She said teasingly.
Annoyed Zolf pats him self off noticing the hare next to her. Its ears twitch nervously scanning the surroundings. "No fair you had a hare help you." He complained.
Sticking her tounge out, her face scrunches up at Zolf before bursting in laughter. Sound of a a metal pot ringing diverts their attention. "Foods ready, race you back?" Zolf says already running through the forest before she can reply.
As the pair approach the compound a large dire wolf sat in front of wooden cottage. "Hello Sher" both children said in unison as they ran into the cottage. Wolf glanced at them as they ran by then sat down on a patch of dirt where snow had melted near the cottage.
Zolf mom wore a long colorful dress was placing bowls of food onto a table. "If your eating with us today Merel help me set the tabe."
"Ok" The little girl replied enthuiastically running up to help set the table.
"Your father wants to talk to you Zolf. He's out back treating a patient." Instantly Zolf ran back out side towards back of the house. His mother sighed as he left the door open.
Approaching a small shed Zolf could see his father inside. Man wore a green mask that resembled a ogre. His hands pulsed a faint blue as he touched a man who's arm was wrapped in bandages. Not wanting to interrupt Zolf kept his distance and watched. After a few minutes Zolf father stood up and walked out of the shed.
"Its dinner time already?" His father said as he pulled off his mask with his left hand. Zolf nodded yes as his father glanced down at him grinning widely. "Time has come for you to start your spirit training Zolf."
"I'll become a great healer like you father. Help heal the sick and protect the village." Already getting fired up Zolf said passionately as his father just laughed, patting him on the shoulder.
Few days after the dream. During period when Bernard had been brought back to the tower for treatment.
Glancing down at Bernard he observed the man sleep. Stroking the left side of his mask with his left hand he contemplated the situation. Callous eyes watched the man, wondering what it was Bernard dreamed of. Part of him wanted to offer help in healing Bernard, yet deep down he could feel the his hatred for the man simmering.
Door opened slowly as Aeili walked into the room her face quickly turned into a frown. "What are you doing here?" She said nervously but her composure quickly turned into confidence as she clutched her staff.
"I just came to see if Bernard was still amongst the living. It's not every day I get to go to a ceremony for a new captain." Zolf said as he walked out the door.
