@tarrasch asked: sender takes an injury meant for receiver - (sorry for the double sending i just wanted to specify; companion verse mercar!! mbmb haha)
Normally Kiran was good at keeping control of the battle. She had been battling for her entire life. Normally nothing was too overwhelming but the more and more they were known by Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain, the more aggressive their enemies became. She more aggressive their forces became and it was getting harder to keep control of the playing field. Kiran was trying to keep control of the battlefield when she nearly faced an attack from an ogre.
Nearly. She would have faced a hell of an injury if that was the case but before she was attacked, Mercar took the brunt of her injury for her. It gave her the wake up call to get in control of the situation and pull together a plan before they headed back. Kiran couldn't help but feel...bad. She wish she had taken the hit. She didn't like letting her team down. She tried her best to protect them. She didn't want to feel like she was letting them down.
The Lighthouse gave her time to collect her thoughts and tend any scrapes but she knew she had to make sure he was fine so she went to find him where she normally found him in the music room, slowly opening the door.
"Hey..." If he hadn't noticed her coming in before, her voice would have alerted him, "How are you? That was a nasty hit from that ogre..."

tiered flesh curled into a fearsome snarl as the petite mage ducked, spell-blade alit with magic as it tore through the tender flesh of a venatori mage. she'd show him where to put his head – a barrage of heavy blows against her barrier halted any further sass, tempted as she was. teeth ground together as brilliant amber flickered across the battlefield, calculations running wild before she huffed a resigned breath. they were getting nowhere like this, darkspawn && cultists alike overwhelmed their strikeforce at every turn.
❝ we aren't getting anywhere like this && you know it. i need you to trust me, trust that i can end this before we all end up dead. ❞ celestial flames, a far cry from the radiant blaze that scorched cities to the ground, stirred within. she waited only a moment, head canted to the side as she waited for an opening to appear. supple lips curled into a dark promise of a smile before she was gone, not one to waste an opportunity.
@tarrasch "Put your head on straight. This isnt over yet"
brilliant flames followed in her wake as she carved a path through their enemy, radiant wings spread out before her, driving her that much faster. between one step && another, the celestial phoenix closed the gap, stopping just before the small army. wreathed in ethereal fire, few could dispute that the mage was something other, something ancient && powerful. she waited a breath, eyes gleaming before she unleashed her cosmic rage 'pon those who stood before her.
hungry flames devoured all that stood in her way, swallowing the entire force before more than a few pained cries could escape. delighted laughter bubbled to the surface as she relished in the heat, the blue-tinted flames causing her amber gaze to glow with unnatural light. stars, it felt good to let loose. the cosmic power within purred && stretched like a satiated cat as it settled within her once more. the devastation left behind by her flames a stark reminder that the veilguard was hers, && gods help any who trifled with them.
fatigue washed over the mage once the adrenaline drained from her body. hyeon swayed, knees trembling as she struggled to stay upright. ❝ was my head on straight enough for you, darling ?? ❞ exhaustion softened any bite her words may have had as her molten gaze turned toward the other, lips tiredly pulling into a challenging smirk as he approached.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐂𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔?
✧.* white rook
{ 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤. } as a piece that can move inwards and outwards, you're a master of self - reflection. you know what needs to be done and when to do it. you're a protector, and would willingly take someone's place in danger in a heartbeat because you know you can handle the pressure. but even castle walls crumble. for all your chivalry and fortitude, everything must come to an end. will you be there to see the final stages of the war? or will you have already been discarded in the battle?

There were times where Mari longed for the openness of the ocean, and the freedoms that it afforded her. Nothing truly anchoring her, no pointed fingers that told her where to go, who to be, and how the world around her ought to shape her. She had been fortunate in many ways to have been allowed it, even as estranged from folks she had once called family as she was. That was the price for having struck out on her own, she supposed. She was a Lord or Fortune, and as long as there was coin, she would always have somewhere to go, and something to do. People to meet.
Rook was a striking example of that. She did not wish to be in his shoes, with the weight of the world's fate resting heavily on it, nor did she know how to help him with it. She tried. Thought long and hard on it at the end of the day as she sat beside the caretaker's awfully handy little table and watched the wisps outside of Neve's own tower. Maribel shouldered open the door to his room, and poked her head around it. Fuck, forgot to knock again. Whoops.
"Hey, Rook. Wanted to know if you fancied a jaunt to Rivain. Want to go watch the sunset on the beach. Or, if a drink's what you fancy, we could go grab a bevvy from the Hall of Valour. Starting to get a little stir crazy."
@tarrasch / closed starter / companion!maribel.

3 Fun Facts about Geza Maroczy
He coached both Max Euwe and Vera Menchik, who went on to become World Champion and Women's World Champion respectively.
He surprised the world by finishing an excellent 2nd place at the famous Nuremberg 1896 tournament, ahead of many established top players like Pillsbury, Tarrasch and Steinitz.
Maroczy worked as a second for Max Euwe in his World Championship match against Alekhine in 1935.

“El juego de Ajedrez es una forma de productividad intelectual, de hecho ese es su encanto particular.
La productividad intelectual es una de las mayores, si no la mayor, alegrías de la existencia humana. No todo el mundo puede escribir una obra de teatro, construir un puente o incluso contar un buen chiste.
Pero en el Ajedrez, todos pueden, y todos deben, ser intelectualmente productivos y, por lo tanto, pueden compartir este placer.
Siempre he sentido un ligero sentimiento de lástima por aquellos que no saben nada de Ajedrez, tal como lo haría por un hombre ignorante del amor.
El ajedrez, como la música o como el amor, tiene el poder de hacerte feliz”.
Siegbert Tarrasch (1862-1934)
