The Pinnacle

The inhabitants of the Rift had not seen him since the day of the party, when Hope had been revealed. Perhaps the Protector was a bit jealous of all the other creatures that had interacted with one another, a family, a life, being able to leave the duties to another and simply explore. But the Protector was none of these things – a solitary being, large and glowing with tendrils, born and built to do nothing else but protect the mountain’s crevice behind him. Perhaps he was simply born in the wrong body, for no other legend of a protector had wanted company, had wanted a life outside of duty.
Yet here the Protector was. Yearning.
He sighed to himself, his glowing teal tendrils snaking around his head as he squinted against the cold of Freeze. Briefly, he wondered if he carried the power to make this place warm and inviting, and if he did would they come? He had enjoyed the party before, and yet he wondered if they had too – if it was some sort of light within the darkness. The Matron had told him she’d done it for the Tree of Light, and yet she wasn’t around to help him. Did he have it in him? He could do many other things, but he’d never tried to tamper with the environment. Perhaps now he should try.
He summoned his strength and let his glowing tendrils snake through the air in odd shapes, hoping that the icy valley around him would thaw and become warm and dry – a safe haven for the time being for chilled bones and exhausted travelers. He tried and tried, and suddenly, his feet grew warm. He dug them into the warm sand, feeling it slide off his plates and his glowing tendrils grew brighter, shifting into what could be considered a brilliant, glowing grin. ”It worked!” His deep voice cascaded through the valley, grinning as wide as he possibly could.
Now, for the party. He reached out in any way he could to try and get others to come, uncertain if his strange hollowed call would be heard across all the lands, but he hoped and he wished that someone could come to give the Protector some company.
“Talk.”

THE PINNACLE'S PROTECTOR
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO THE RIFT!!
The Protector has called a party because he’s lonely, but we’re here to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Rift! :D
So what does this entail, you might ask? We want to celebrate with a party and gifts! You have a few choices to choose from, just ask for what you’d like to receive in the OOC part of your post.
- Enchant a currently owned item
- Anything from your Aspirations thread, determined by dice roll
- Receive an enchanted “mystery item”
- Receive a personalized Rift Presence encounter, giving you either of the three above choices – dice rolls will decide which one!
And lastly, a bonus of whether or not you’d like the Rift to do something to your appearance! A simple yes or no will work for that one :) If you don’t like what the Rift has done, you can always post in Character Hotfix to have it removed!
The Protector will post again in 1 weeks time, on July 19th to give everyone time to post and update their Aspirations thread! :)
THANK YOU GUYS! You are the absolute best and we couldn’t have done it without you <3
