Warnings: Sesshomaru being a grump.

{Silver hair flies in the wind and soft white fur is gently ruffled against a pale cheek. Sesshomaru is quite a striking presence wherever he goes, bearing the signs of his good breeding in the form of two crimson stripes on his cheeks and a purple crescent moon on his forehead. His ears taper into delicate points, too, and his eyes are the color of rich amber. When he speaks, he is accustomed to being listened to and obeyed.

Thus his first appearance on the network is dramatic, yet brief.}


Speak.

{His low voice brooks no argument and his expression is cold. He is difficult to read in the best of circumstances and his current predicament doesn't necessarily signify anything good.}

I am Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands. What have you discovered about this world and the rifts?

Blood magic is simple--it only requires blood, and the will to use it. The cost is high...but it is the magic of the desperate and the cornered.

Beasts, humans, spirits, demons and dragons...the drive to survive pushes all of them past their normal limits. Fear and anger only feed the need. A simple peasant can take down even a dragon if she has the courage, or enough desperation to substitute. If you know what you're doing, it doesn't even have to be your blood.

It's dangerous, and forbidden for it. Not many blood mages live long enough to become skilled at it. The ones that do...tend to inspire armies to come make sure they don't continue being skilled at it.
