Spirit bond (by hisseefit) - Third Raffle Prize
The pic was inspired by this song
The princedom of Valmeridia hosts creatures from the most disparate regions every day, some who went there for a simple visit, others to stay and contribute to the well-being of the lands.
The number of travelers and adventurers visiting the castle to ask for an audience with Prince Borgon or simply to visit his home is sometimes so high
as to force Silva to meticulously organize the time of her sovereign"s day because of that.
So, when a little tabaxi named Nix makes his way through the crowd, not at all intimidated by creatures far taller and more powerful than himself, and asks for a somewhat particular audience,
Silva for the first time in a long time hires for a moment an incredulous expression.
Not for his appearance, but for his request: apparently the mysterious visitor is not in fact there for the castle, much less to meet the ruler of Valmeridia.
The vixen"s ears twitch as soon as he asks to speak to the guardian spirit of those walls.
Quite peculiar, especially if such a request comes from such a petite creature. Yet those lively blue eyes seem to know their stuff: Nix is really willing to meet Sir Cordiale!
Silva takes him aside, and asks him to come back at sunset, since at night the spirit proves to be... more talkative.
Indeed, during the day, Sir Cordiale prefers to devote himself to the creation of his wines and liqueurs, or he inspects the length and breadth of the castle
to make sure that no guest takes "too much" of the hospitality of Prince Borgon.
And so, when the star of the day disappears behind the hills to make way for its sister moon, the tabaxi knocks again on the gigantic door of the castle walls.
This time Silva welcomes him with greater grace and attention, and while waiting for night to fall she offers Nix refreshment in exchange for some information about his past.
The cat doesn"t seem to mind talking about this, and with a certain pride in his voice he tells of being a necromancer, a particular type of necromancer to tell the truth,
since his mission is to help the living get in touch with the dead, or to contact restless souls in order to discover the cause of a violent death, or simply to allow them to reach the afterlife.
Specifically, learning of the existence of a guardian spirit at the court of Prince Borgon, the tabaxi had wanted to take the opportunity to "deepen" his studies
on the subject and question Sir Cordiale about his past and present.
Well, Silva has nothing against it, since the current condition of the hare is in some ways also her cause. But she"s careful not to reveal it to Nix:
if Sir Cordiale wants to talk about it, he will do it of his own accord, the vixen thinks.
In any case, in the end, the elderly hare proves to be affable with his visitor.
Silva and Borgon decide not to disturb the two, who shut themselves up in the castle library and start discussing about spirits, esotericism, afterlife and ancient rituals until late at night.
And they talk and talk so much that it would have looked that, at the first light of dawn, a real spirit bond had been established between the two~
It was a long journey, made of fun and laughs, but my first Raffle can be finally considered over.
Here for you the third prize, drawn of course by our always brilliant
