Dizzying Dagger

5th Of Fall 513 AV


Just another day in his dormitory.

He'd practiced flux, acrobatics, malediction and even some knife work on his spare time. But now he wanted to apply a little of what he knew about throwing a dagger into the mix. A piece of drift wood, what looked to be a piece of broken barrel was slanted braced by his shyke bucket in his room. He had some distance but not alot, but he'd like to start this new day with a little more practice. He was confident that when he finished this he'd start checking out the rest of the citadel or at least what he could.

He gripped the handle of his dagger, he raised it up above his head and then whipped his hand downward releasing his grip upon it. His dagger spiraled missed the target and bounced off the wall with an obnoxious -clang-. He thought he was supposed to be pretty good at this, but maybe the last time he had thrown a dagger he'd Been lucky. Nah, just out of practice at least that's what he told himself so he'd feel better about it.

Morvale took a moment to stretch his arms out, he wanted to be nice and loose for this. One arm out, the other scooped around it and pulled inward helping him stretch the extended arms ligaments. In a minute or two, he would switch the adjacent arm then scooped pull into a stretch. It was best to stretch both sides, acrobatics seemed to play a small part in everything he did.

After his first botched attempt it was time to try again with a little more finesse.

His hands reached for another dagger, he held it loosely in his hand. And he began to judge the distance and calculate the spin. His hand went down and he released the dagger allowing it to whirr out his hand. It hit the target, but the daggers fine point had not. The handle hit the wood causing it to bounce off and as metalic clatter exhoed in his room Morvale frowned. He wasn't pleased with this, it wasn't good enough.

His mind raced with bad thoughts about failing his test, about being laughed out the citadel or worse becoming a host for a Nuit. He needed to do much better then this he hoped to impress anyone. He needed to concentrate and collect his thoughts, he had to clear his mind and go back to training, he wanted no had to accomplish this. It was the only way he'd be able to make anything of himself on the island.

What kind of petching battle wizard couldn't fight?

He sighed took another breath.

Somehow he couldn't shrug it off, he was a bit pissed and unnerved at the same time as he looked at that heaping piece of junk that he'd basically missed two times.

He was filled with anger and everything he was trying to do was tossed out the window, he unsheathed his dagger stepped forward feeling it out physically while mentally envisioning himself hitting the target. As his arm cranked down he released that dagger in a twirl, as it spiraled through the air it clacked into the wood as the tip imbedded itself Into the plank.

He calmed down and breathed again, his resentful look turned into a smile of shear delight. It wasn't a calculation it was a general feel, it was very different then ordinary knife techniques. But he started to understand to feel the weight of the object that was to be thrown.

It was time to get into the swing of things as it were.

His hand pulled free another dagger, he stepped forward and his arm shot down. He visualized the target, felt the weight of the dagger in his hands and envisioned himself hitting the target as he released the dagger from his grasp. As it sailed through the air with a spin it once again hit the target. He was making contact now and that was alot better then missing all together or worse making a bafoon of himself in front of the undead that would be watching and analyzing him like he was some kind of piece of meat.

Again his hand went to his sheath and he threw the dagger it twirled connected and then there was a sigh of relief. He'd continue this process it was the basic throw but he needed to be comfortable with just the basics. He didn't fancy himself anything but a novice but still he felt good about being able to accurately hit the target, greater accuracy would develops in time.

However as it stood this was a very good start
