It's Okay, Not to be Okay

Don't be Fooled by all my Tears,
Cause Everything is Fine!
And you can Pick up all the Pieces that you Left Behind,
Cause I Never Think About You,
And I'm Better Off Without You!
I Don't Miss You at all,
I Don't Miss You at all.
You Don't Spin Around in my Head,
It's Like you Never Existed,
And I Hope you Don't Call.
Cause I Don't Miss You at all.

That song's been stuck in my head ever since the first time that I heard it. Hahaha.
Anyway! Down to bussiness.
This is a Kilij.

The Kilij is a sword, obviously. It's an Eastern sword with some similarity to the Persian Scimitar, but it's also very different. The curve in the blade extends the draw of the weapon and the weighted tip adds power and follow through potiential to every slash. Which gives the Kilij enough raw power to literally rip through armor and bones to cut a man in half. This style of sword was used by Vlad the Impaler way, way back in the day.

It's brutish, it's deadly, it's efficent. So, naturally, instead of deciding to keep this weapon for myself, I've decided to hand it over to the enemy! Haha. The Kilij shall now be Kerian's weapon of choice. And although the style of sword has changed, everything else is the same. The handle of Kerian's sword will still be constructed of Human Bone so that our little Necromancer can make it do things without touching it and all that.

Soooo.... There ya have it. Toodles.

Creature Double Feature

Okay, so the other day when I was working on my super epic Battle Scenes of fun and fancy death, I started thinking that perhaps, the battle itself wouldn't be enough chaos to create the necessary amount of distance between Emma and her protectors. So I started thinking that perhaps I should give Kerian like a Troll or something. Like you know how the bad guys always have Trolls on their team in Lord of the Rings? Hahaha.

Of course, Trolls are pretty typically over used. So I probably wouldn't want it to be an actual Troll. Maybe my own version of a Troll would be okay. But even still, I'm kind of leaning away from that idea. I just think that I want some sort of a big, hulking monster type thing with relatively low intelligence, that's tough to kill but at the same time, I don't want there to be a trick to killing it. Ya know?

Um, I was actually thinking maybe Lizardy type guys. But no one else seems to be liking the idea. -shrug- Either way, I'm open to suggestions. But I don't want Spiders or Wolves. So keep that in mind if my some bizarre twist of fate you decide to comment on this post.
