Character name(The one which the item is for): Zander Moon
Character age: 37
Backstory:
"If we are lucky then we die few deaths."
Golden Tiger Lola Seth said handing her cubs their knives.
"We are not the lucky ones. You will do things as a Golden Tiger that will kill you over and over. If you are fortunate then the deaths will be small ones. Do not expect to be fortunate."
Zander Alice Moon looked at the blade, it was small and unassuming, yet it had to be made of something dense, it was too heavy for something it's size.
"We are taught at a young age that the dead are venom to the soul, their touch corrupts and weakens. This is why the embalmers touch no one else. This is why we must be strong. We must prepare the living for the embalmers, it is our task to guard the gilded cage, and our task to carry out the rite of fangs. We are like the tiger, and they are birds."
Zander thought on Lola's words, he knew all these things already. Why would she tell them these things?
"Say these words, keep them in your heart.” She said the began to recite slowly:
'I am a Golden Tiger, I am a child of the Winter King. My Claw is as long as my memory. My Tooth as devastating as my fury. The Winter Kings enemy's are my own. The Winter Kings Allies are my own. Nothing comes before the flotilla, my people. I would gladly die many deaths for them. And when I do, let my bones be used to build the gilded cage. Let my mask be carried by my children with pride. May the elders speak of me to those they wish to teach.'
She finished and quickly turned to Zander “Tiger Cub Zander Alice Moon, have you heard the name?"
Zander blinked then shook his head.
"Listen to it, but do not tell anyone what it says. It is the one thing in this life that will kill you, those who know it can use it against you. It will kill you if it's name fell into the wrong hands."
"I do not understand." He said looking at the bit of metal in his palm.
"Turn it on." She said plainly.
The Blade sparked to life with a slight hiss. It's Golden Glow extended out.
"Do you hear it? That sigh as it activates. It says to you The name of what will kill you. You need only listen. Do it again."
Zander turned the blade off, then on. The hiss sounded the same, he looked up and before he could ask for further guidance Lola drew her own weapon.
"Tiger Cub, Mother is calling do not keep her waiting." Zander readied himself she extended her hand, opening the fingers on her palm disrupter. Zander felt his muscles react before he could as he leapt out of the way. The smell of the training room wall ionizing was an indicator that it was not set on low.
Lola had nearly killed him, and was about to try again.
The other cubs cleared the room, as Zander began to charge Lola, he had 20.76 seconds before her Mk. 3 Palm Disruptor cooled off for an other shot.
He closed the gap.
18 seconds.
Swinging in from his lower right he attempted to rake her with the fang, with little effort she leaned
away and kicked him against the still hot wall.
14 Seconds.
He stood up and began to charge again.
8 Seconds.
He saw the gleam in her eyes as he stopped a meter in front of her the pounced right, she crossed her arm in an attempt to keep the disrupter trained on him.
3 Seconds.
He shut the blade off, and whirled around attempting to sweep her legs, she jumped into the air.
His time was up.
She began to line her hand up it him as he quickly turned the blade on and threw it at her. Her muscles contracted painfully as the shot ran wide nearly hitting the other cubs, Zander leapt over and placed her in an arm lock.
She smiled. "So, you heard it then?"
"Yes." He panted.
"What is it's name?"
"I cannot tell you. It is what will kill me." He smirked.
"Good work Golden Tiger Zander Moon."
Zander Snapped awake after hearing his name on the station arrivals announcement.
"The Thing that will kill me..." He mused to himself playing with the thing on his uniform. He checked it. Turning it on then off.
"Zander Moon" it hissed faintly, as it always did. They had been through many scrapes. Gotten out of situations that seemed hopeless. Yet it always said the same thing. The other Tigers claimed the name it whispers changes, but his...
Almost mocking. Always the same.
He stepped out of the arrival shuttle. It was good to be back where he felt needed, where the people smiled and were so warm to each other. To have something to make him forget about the weight he was carrying.
Almost.
He walked down the hall, and passed a sleeping assistant, he made note of it as he waited for another door to open. Just then he remembered something.
Something he tried so hard to forget.
A memory of Alice, after seeing him for the first time as a Golden Tiger. She was so happy, they both were. Eager to show it off he turned it on.
“Zan?” She said suddenly.
“Hm?”
“No turn it back on again...” He did as she asked.
“Listen...”
“For what?”
“Just do it again”
Zander did so, he began to worry thinking of Lola's words.
“It sound almost like it's whispering your name.” She said laughing. “I guess it's meant to be.”
His heart sank then as it did now. The Airlock opened, and he passed through. People were greeting him now, people who did not know how heavy it felt. He tried his best to follow what they were saying, but his mind was elswhere.
They laughed and he tried his best to laugh along.
