#2 - Warrior Heart

Postby Rorrim » Thu Aug 21, 2014 2:47 pm

Managed to work around my laptops shenanigans and get this lovey lady done~

She's an unnamed character I haven't used very much, and want to find a good home. the bracelet on the stump of her left arm contains her fiance's consciousness, who died in same battle in which she lost her arm. He was a talented wizard and with his dying breath transferred his essence to a discarded bracelet, and through the bracelet he creates an artificial arm to replace the one she'd lost.
However If you would like to change the backstory that is alright, I just wanted to give my take on her~

Hers is mainly an art competition, the art may be yours or commissioned, and you are allowed up to three pieces.

Username; NARANDA
Name; Akiko Maki
Origin; Japanese
Meaning; Akiko "Bright Child" Maki "True Hope"

Gender; Female
Status; Single - Not Looking

Personality;
Akiko is a serious and strong-willed woman, but she is afraid to trust others or fall in love again. After losing the one she loved so dearly, she can not bring herself to love anyone else, afraid of losing them also. She tends to pull away from others, and normally feels lonely, but she would rather feel lonely, then to feel the pain of seeing the death of those she cares about.
When around others she wears a mask of emotions. Seriousness, strength, bravery. Under this mask is pain, suffering and lots of fear. She rarely shows these emotions, only when she is alone and able to remove this invisible mask without others seeing it. She tends to cry when she is alone and thinking about the death of her loved one.

Story:
I felt the burning sting in my arm and shock filled me as I looked at the place where my arm once was. I had gone in for the kill, thrusting my arm forward, sword in hand, but another had taken it off with his own blade. I was so stunned that I did not see him going for my throat until it was too late. His sword hit flesh, but not my own. The wizard I met at the beginning of this journey, my fiance, stood before me. Time seemed to stand still as he fell to the ground before me. I felt rage fill me and my vision turned red as his killer came into my view. With tears dripping from my face I lashed out with my remaining arm, my sword swinging clumsily through the air as the weight of the sword was too much for one arm to use properly. Soon he lay dead at my feet after a few miss swings and scratches.

I fell next to the man I loved, kneeling in the mud and blood. I cradled his head in my lap as he struggled for breathe. He could not speak, the pain being too much for him to do anything but cringe in pain. I looked at the sadness in his eyes as he placed a bracelet in my remaining hand. He finally took his final breathe, in my arms I watched as his tense muscles relaxed into an eternal rest. I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks, but my mind felt numb as I tried to wrap my head around what just happened. He was gone, I would never see him again, never hear him say 'I love you' once more, and never kiss him again. I bit my bottom lip as I held back tears. I did not have the time to cry, as swords clashed around me. I was just a hindrance now and needed to get off the battle feild before I created a problem or got in the way.

I had no way to move his body, being too small to carry him, I was forced to leave him on the ground, covered in mud and blood, not to receive a proper burial unless we won this war and I came back for him, but until then he would lay there, exposed to the elements. I stood, not realizing how dizzy I was until I was on my feet. Everything around me spun in a blur of motion, nothing coming into focus. I could make out the green color of the trees and I stumbled towards it, going as fast as I could, tripping and falling along the way. My hand was pressed against the stump that was my left arm, trying to slow the flow of blood, but ended up soaked in it instead. I needed to stop the bleeding before I died of blood loss, I needed to live for my true love.

I collapsed in the leaves, the sounds of clashing metal behind me. I first reached down and tore the bottom edge of my shirt, peeling it into strips and wrapping it around the stump of my arm. I cringed in pain, not only from the physical pain, but also from the emotional pain. I tried to tie the make shift bandage around the stump of my arm, but the knot would not stay. I felt around for something to keep it together, to keep it in place, my hand landing on the bracelet I dropped when I collapsed. I picked it up, just being able to see it through my blurred vision and tears. I tried to place it around the stub, hoping it was large enough to possibly stay put and hold up the bandages. It fit and soon I was unconscious, too weak to do anymore.

I blinked as light filled my vision and my head throbbed in pain. I felt a strong sense of confusion and started to wonder if I was dead and this was what they spoke of when they talked about walking into the light, but the pain in my head made that feel that it was not possible. I tried to sit up, but realized my other arm was gone when I went to push myself up. Everything came back to me like a tsunami of images, memories. I lost my arm, and my fiance, my true love, was gone. I felt tears streaming down my face once again and I reached to the stump of my arm, feeling the bracelet that was there. I turned my head to look at it, having forgotten about it.
"I see you are finally awake." a woman in a white outfit walked over to me, then it occurred to me I was in a large tent. Curtains divided the tent into small sections, but it seemed it was for the injured, the medical tent. I did not reply as I eyed the bracelet still around my arm, but the bandages underneath it were clean and fresh. "We removed the soiled cloth and replaced it. The bracelet worked so well at holding up the cloth that we cleaned it and used it to keep the bandages in place." the nurse explained. I felt a bit of happiness through the pain, happy about the bracelet that I had to remember him by, happy that is was still there around my arm and not thrown away or lost.

-----

"It appears your fiance transferred his essence into this bracelet." it had been a month since the battle and I had finally recovered enough to leave the tent and move around a little bit. I ran into another wizard within the army who could sense the essence of my dead fiance in the bracelet I still wore on my stump of an arm. "There is probably some power within that bracelet you could use." this made me wonder and I looked to the bracelet around my arm. I did not continue the conversation, but instead returned to the tent I had been moved to since I let the medical tent.

I stared at the bracelet that was now in my hand, remembering the things I had lost, but this I did not cry. I could not cry actually, I had cried all the tears I could and now I could not shed even one more tear. A sigh escaped my lips and a pang of pain filled my chest as I returned the bracelet to it's place. It fit snugly and comfortably around the stub. I removed my remaining hand from the bracelet once I was sure it would stay, and soon a light glow came from it. My eyes went wide in shock and wonder. The glow spread and grew, creating intricate and tribal like markings that eventually formed an arm. I thought I was a dream at first, but I tried to move the arm to find that it actually obeyed my commands. With his dying breath, my fiance gave me a new arm and a piece of him to always have at my side.
