Requiem
Born from the loss in ones heart
About
Full name: Requiem Race: Living Sword of Roses and Thorns Occupation: Raise and Train Renna Urivalur Appearance: The sword is an enormous, enchanted greatblade whose design blends aristocratic elegance with the dangerous beauty of roses and thorns. It stands upright in a moonlit forest pool without any visible wielder, its broad point touching the glowing water as though the weapon has taken root. Intense rose-pink light surrounds it, scattering petals through the air and making the sword appear less like forged steel than the living heart of an ancient, magical garden. Its blade is exceptionally long, broad, and almost perfectly straight. The main body is a deep black-violet metal bordered by thin silver edges that shine with pale pink reflections. A narrow ridge divides the blade vertically, giving it a rigid, symmetrical construction. Near the bottom, the parallel edges curve inward to create a wide, rounded point rather than a needle-like tip. This gives the weapon the crushing authority of a ceremonial execution sword while preserving enough sharpness for devastating cuts. Elaborate magenta markings travel down the blade’s center. These angular lines resemble intertwined thorny stems, with sharp bends, diamond-shaped buds, and small runic emblems arranged in perfect balance. Their glow intensifies toward the lower portion, where the design opens into a larger floral sigil. The markings suggest that magical vines exist inside the metal, carrying energy through the weapon as veins carry life through a body. Thin pink highlights also trace the blade’s long central groove, reinforcing the impression of contained living power. The upper blade expands into a richly armored shoulder beneath the guard. Black and silver plates sweep inward like overlapping leaves, their sharpened points resembling thorns protecting a flower. At the center rests a large, faceted gemstone shaped like a closed rosebud or vertical teardrop. Its outer facets burn rose-pink, while its inner core glows icy cyan, creating the appearance of a crystalline seed holding a second, colder form of magic. Delicate silver filigree descends from the gem and joins the thorn pattern carved into the blade. The crossguard is wide and dramatically curved. Its two arms sweep outward and slightly upward like the horns of a crescent moon, ending in fine, thornlike points. Layered beneath them are smaller hooked projections resembling rose sepals or the talons of a protective beast. The dark metal is edged in luminous pink and polished silver, allowing the guard to appear graceful from a distance yet vicious upon closer inspection. Its many points would catch an opponent’s weapon while protecting the central gemstone. Above the guard rises a long, slender two-handed grip. It is wrapped in dark crimson or purple leather crossed by raised, twisting bands that resemble thorny vines climbing a stem. A sculpted collar flares beneath the grip, and the pommel ends in a sharp, faceted crystal glowing with concentrated pink light. This jewel resembles an unopened blossom or spearhead, completing the sword’s vertical floral symbolism: root at the point, stem through the blade and hilt, and bud at the crown. Living magic spirals continuously around the weapon. Ribbons of pink energy coil up the blade like weightless vines, while clusters of translucent leaves and petals bloom from empty air. Some petals appear soft and luminous; others possess pointed silhouettes suggesting hidden thorns. Fine sparks fall beside the blade like enchanted pollen, and clouds of rosy mist gather around its guard and lower edge. The surrounding plants are illuminated as though responding to the sword’s presence. Despite its romantic colors and floral beauty, the weapon feels solemn and predatory. It embodies the dual nature of the rose: tenderness protected by pain, love inseparable from sacrifice, and beauty capable of drawing blood. The sword seems alive not because it displays a face or creature, but because it grows, blossoms, and breathes through the magic surrounding it. It is a living royal greatsword—an ancient guardian that rewards a gentle hand, rejects cruelty, and answers violence with an inescapable storm of petals and thorns.
