One month, he had a month less a day to spend. He knew it, all the rules were in the back of his head. All the research, all the rumors were clear : from the moment when the feather was found, you have a month. Trying to sell it, abandon it or destroy it will ended as a fail. Taken from a moment of regret after the dream that had left him with a black feather on awakening, he had tried to destroy the artifact, burning it and throwing the ashes in a stream. Shortly after, he had caught a beautiful fish. But emptying it, he found no flesh, just a feather, black, sticky, bathed in the blood of the animal.
He set off in search of calm, in a forest and finally spread out at the foot of a tree. The feeling of remorse that he had disappeared quickly enough, after all, was more a burst of instinct for survival than a real movement of consciousness. He smiles, amused. Regrets ... He wished he ever have a happy life to have regrets and he was far from that. He took his pearl between his claws, turning it around as if to appreciate its value. He saw again the day of his birth in a nursery, he re-heard the frantic whispers of caregivers "no wings", "no lineage", "nobody will want him". He saw himself, a young dragon, mocked, humiliated by others. He saw himself wandering the streets, begging passers-by for something to eat. He saw all the moments of fears, despairs, doubts he had lived, so numerous, drowning under them the rare moments of hapiness of his short life. He saw himself again, listening to the rumors circulating around the taverns. Rumors about Pearlcatchers, miracles, strange deities. He saw the moment when he had heard the word that was going to change his destiny: Ravenghast.
He had searched the libraries, had set out in search of those fallen beings of their pearl. And he ended up finding the answer in a odd dream, his key to reach his most desired wish. This artifact, this black feather. His renewal.
Still holding his pearl with one paw, he pulled with the other a chain of his scarf. He weighed both of them. Feather, chain and pearl. He glanced at the blue sky and closed his eyes for a moment. Yes, it would be soon.
The atmosphere of the forest changed around him as soon as he opened his eyelids. No more noise, neither the one of insects nor the songs of birds, nor the one of the breath of the wind. The sound of a bell thundered in the distance. The moment had finally come. He put back his chain under his scarf, stored his pearl in a bag and on his started his way to the cathedral. Soon, the chaos of greenery gave way to a clean alley. The silhouette of the monument stood out on the skyline. The desire to see his dream come true to be made him almost floated over the road. And if that didn't work, at least he was sure to remembere nothing of it.
When he reached the doors of the building, he pushed open the door and entered into the building. He had read all the books and heard many things about it. He was not expected what he had under his eyes. All the rumors and stories speaked about a heavy, dark atmosphere, with a scent of mold in the air. And instead,a normal place. The light poured through huge stained glass windows, enlighted the stones with multiple vivid colors. The atmosphere was serene, solemn. He felt more calm at the moment than ever before. Finally, he could have regrets, not being able to remember this place in the future.
He walked towards the altar and the statue overlooking it. The statue of the Ravenghast, imposing, magnificent, black and garnets . He came the pearl out of his bag, and he draw out the chain of his neck. He put the pearl on a pedestal, and the black feather at its side.
"I came here with a precise wish," he sat down for a moment, and with hesitation, placed on the opposite side another feather, ethereal, brilliant, "I was born without wings, without love, without luck in this life but not with anything. This, he says pointing his most precious, is a feather of a spirit, I have known since the day of my birth. He is my wings, my fortune, my love but I do not have enough power to give him form in this world ... Here is my wish, I wish to be a good invoker to finally meet him ".
He took a step back, somewhere in one of the belfries, a bell was heard. The two feathers vanished, it would take little for the pearl to fades in its turn. He collected himself, and waited ...

[i]She is known as the[/i] Soulcatcher[i]: a dragon with the ability to pick souls out of the world of the dead, to bind them to a new vessel. Artificial ones work best, she has found: dolls, mannequins, marionettes....
There are those who are curious about this ability. They wish to study from her, to learn it for themselves. But many of them shudder when they see Iadys' own artificial body, and instead, they turn away.[/i]
[center]~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~[/center]
In the days when Iadys still had her body, she sought out the Ravenghast. Through reality, through dreams...There were many times when she thought to turn back, but her dead lover's image intruded into her mind, and she knew there was nothing worth returning to. Not yet...
She could only go forward. And when she awoke with the feather one day, she knew her journey was almost over.
She called across the words to the Ravenghast.
The world began to melt away, and she was stunned at how easy it all was. Soon she would be able to pierce that veil, too. She hesitated only a moment before proffering her pearl, and then she spoke her wish--
"I wish for the ability to bind the souls of the dead."

An arcane circle flickers to life beneath Amonkira...[/center]
[indent]The feathers vanished--yes.
But the pearl did not follow so swiftly. A curiosity, that.
Rather, a black mist began to exude from the would-be statue as the ground trembled. Sickly, sinister, it snakes about in the most unpleasant manner to the eyes before it reaching its goal. An apparition-like claw grips the pearl--the very action of which, almost seems to visibly taint it with its lingering touch.
Not one, but two, three--more limbs follow to the do same until the number is countless and the pearl itself obscured. They lift the object to the air, hovering above the still raven's head.
Suddenly.
Chains begin to rattle--the links begin to creak and strain in a worrying manner against the slightest movement. Would they hold fast?
That was... no statue, but the Ravenghast itself. Chained and bound, over and over again, but its head moved freely. It tilted upwards and parted its beak, allowing the pearl to drop and roll smoothly down its throat in a deliciously slow swallow.
From the moment it dropped, a darkness permeated the room and into Amonkira. It was a raw, unfiltered knowledge. Summons and various incantations of invocation. Visions of his spirit friend coming to life, but then--
Just as suddenly as he would come, he would dissolve under the rays of the sun only to be reborn again beneath the moon.
It was a warning that the spirits he summoned would be able to freely come and go at night, but... to truly become materialized, they would require a vessel to call its home. Yes, trinkets and dolls will suffice. Things of the marionette sort; but it also dared to further tempt him with the idea of something truly flesh and blood. Something that could emit him the warmth and love he always longed for.
It taught him, among many things--to invoke a spirit into another's body--stealing away the fleshy form from its owner and molding it to something uniquely... and only, for him. Did he not deserve it? However, if his will is rejected or resisted... it may lead to a distortion.[/indent]

An arcane circle flickers to life beneath Iadys as the Ravenghast tilts its head back, hungrily swallowing the pearl whole.[/center]
[indent]As it was for [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2665486/3#post_38571740]Lucia of Amber[/url] so too was it the same for Iadys...
The cathedral hummed and thrummed loudly. The sign of a heavy wish--a powerful burden. Souls that have found themselves trapped in this realm suddenly all howled to life and made themselves known--They protested. Fiercely, vehemently, they spat their bitterness to the winds in a display that railed against the grace of old gods.
The room reeked of hatred. A hatred so thick that it permeated itself as a spotted black mist--still somewhat between this world and the next. Because they dared not touch the Ravenghast, they turned their cowardly attentions unto Iadys instead. It was a sort of desperate, filthy clawing as they tried to spirit her away before her wish was bound.
Ah, but--the [i]Ravenghast will [b]always[/b] fulfill its pact[/i].
Was that not how the saying goes?
From the moment they touched but a single thread of her mane, a powerful wave emitted from around Iadys herself. Outward and around from the flickering circle beneath her. It swirled round and round like a vortex of ill intent, cleaving the miserable apparitions some many times and filled the air with screams of their anguish and bitter regrets.
They lasted just long enough to see the ravenbourne magic flow into Iadys--a nightmare among nightmares. Pray that she does not look their way, for now she could bind them to fates worse than death. It was no small mercy for them be extinguished now by the raven thing, but... it would be far too late for those who came after.
There are distortions in these magicks...
[i]But why was Iadys not warned like Lucia?[/i][/indent]
