Firefly Shoppe- Takeshi
The figure watched patiently, silently as the boy contemplated his options. He then reached to pry his own scales painfully from his body. The figure didn't move, but many fireflies found themselves attracted to the bloodied spots on his body. The boy then spoke to him through his mind. The conviction of his acti9ons and the humility of his first choice- to not immediately jump to his greedy ants and desires, but to accept what was given.
It was decided.
The figure nodded slowly into a bow, "Very well done, young wolf. You perhaps deserve a voice more than many who were born with theirs. Now..." The man summoned a few fireflies between his palms, and they spoke in the voice of many. He nimbly moved his fingers, as if cranking gears as the voice shifted and pitched into something that sounded familiar, although Takeshi had never heard it- his voice.
The fireflies ambled over, following his breath as they absorbed into his lungs, his throat glowing warmly for a moment before it dissipated.
"Now, not all at once, but you shall be able to find your words, young wolf." The scaled found their way to the figure's hands as they were carried by fireflies. "For these, your sacrifice and dedication which these represent, I thank you- do not worry, your wounds will heal nicely."
With a final slow bow, the man vanished. Leaving Takeshi alone, a strange new color of glow where his missing scales once were.
You gain:
- Your Voice- It's raspy from disuse, but that will face in time (1 IC season).
- Blue Glowing Scales (x5)- Healed and fitted from the 5 missing scales offered. Will revert to red if plucked, but the scales themselves will grow back blue.
You lose:
- Red scales (x5)- Hard, smooth, and glowy.
