The Riddle of Kahi
With potent, flowery words speak I,
Of something common, vulgar, dry;
I weave webs of pedantic prose,
In effort to befuddle those,
Who think I wile time away,
In lofty things, above all day
The common kind that linger where
Monadic beings live and fare;
Practical I may not be,
But life, it seems, is full of me!
Writings About
To Secrets Forever Bound
{Kahi's Poem}
Formless, shapeless, thoughtless; lost.
Just a swirling potential, waiting to be.
Then there he was, wanting me to exist.
Born into the world with force, mind and distinction.
With his will I am more than just a fiction.
This shape limits me. I am bound.
Still there is more potential to be found.
I am released by those words spoken in silence.
A terrible secret gives me defiance.
The secret is my life. The secret is my strife.
To hold forever within my mind.
Until the day that I do find,
That one person to let know, just how far madness may go.
Devouring, eating hungry chaos.
End making, life turning, torrent that wants us.
Until that time here I stand.
Forever shifting with the red sand.
For I am golden, shining bright.
Wrapped in shadow away from sight.
In the Wake of a Mind
{Black Furr's Poem}
A mind sits on a small island of awareness. Broken shards of pain litter the shore.
The open sky of joy arks over the dark sea of sorrow, giving way to the deep abysses of despair.
Fear swims here. An ancient beast of crippling jaws and serrated teeth. Prowling forever in the darkness.
The golden sun shines love down into the depths. Casting shadows in the deep.
On the horizon, a storm of hate rages. Whipping waves of anger into the sea.
Great stones stand resolute in the crashing waves, courageous, determined.
Evil reaches in. Grasping and cold. Lifting the mind from this existence. Taking thought from it's domain.
What happens to this scape, with no one to watch over it?
It continues on. Love shines. Hate and anger rage. Joy uplifts and enraptures. Despair crushes, fear lurks.
The stones still stand beside the shore. And pain exists forever more.
A'nekh djet...
Hope and Despair
{Kahi's Despair}
Time and tide do call me. Pride and hope shatter. Just a flutter of blue wings is all I am. Whenever I don't matter.
A deep feather falls. My wings close around me. Darkness hides within, always to confound me.
Plunging now, far over the edge.
Deep I tumble, no bottom to ever dredge.
Drowning now, within my self. My wings do clasp around my rusted wealth.
The light does shine upon my wings. Abyssal feathers, don't reflect anything.
The light is mine, I draw it in; To fill my nothing to the brim. Never full always hiding, void forever within.
In my centre, Right below; Did you see that just glow?
A spark a light, something with which to fight.
Shining bright, through the never I do bite. Scything fourth with all my care.
Just to say I'm always there.
Flying Star
{Kahi's loss}
Flown from me through infinite space
Left of her own accord to her own disgrace.
Can't keep up this ragged pace...
Simply falling though infinite space
All this time we try to keep face
To all the other stars within infinite space.
We can't control hearts
No matter the quality of your learned arts.
From where you stand to there again.
All through this infinite plane
We stand alone, forgotten masked by scars
Aimless in a sea of stars.
One bright star flew from me of her own accord
Through the endless board.
About Kahi
Kahi is a Sphinx, created by Seth at the dawn of his exhile. As a Sphinx she is prone to issue riddles to those who wish things from her, or even see her true form. Sphinx's are guardians and gate keepers to great power and knowledge, however she is the last of her kind. All those she would call like herself, have fallen into an endless sleep of stone and cold.
A Sphinx is an immortal being, they remain so until their great secret is told. Until that secret is known and understood by another, they will always be reborn when killed. Kahi can die, but she always comes back from the afterlife no matter the nature of her death. For someone to ask her of her great secret, they must answer her riddle. Playing their life and exisantance against the power gained from that wisdom. Once entered into, this contract cannot be voided. Some beings may already know of what she holds from the world her creator Seth certainly does. When her secret is told, Kahi will cease; she will turn to stone just like the other Sphinx's you can see.
Kahi's ability to shift her form
She has many abilites including that of altering her form. She was in truth born as she is now without form, as such any form she takes is copied from things in the world. As any know, a Sphinx is an amalgam of different animals. The head of a man, body of a lion and wings of an eagle. Her ability to alter her form is not restricted to ideas of continuity, she can be anything she wishes to be.
Each form has slightly different abilities. Her preferred being lighter, faster and more agile. Able to dodge easily and attack quickly and accurately. Using superior strength in certain forms Kahi is able to overpower many she comes across. With superior defences, Kahi is able to take a great deal of punishment in some of her shapes. In her Anubite forms among others, Kahi gains the time needed to make more use of her ability to control certain energies. Using it to absorb incoming attacks.
Kahi is able to take on virtually any shape she wants. Taking aspects of things already in the world. She is able to have multiple aspects in one single form, using the example of her first and perhaps best known form in popular culture; that of the Sphinx. As stated, it is a mixture of different animals. Another example is a certain humanoid form Black Furr created to try to fit in. Kahi still has a soft spot for that form, it is a human shape, and therefore mostly human; though it has aspects of canine and feline characteristics.
Kahi is also able to copy and form inorganic materials, usually incorporated into an organic form. For instance, though not a usual thing; Kahi can armour herself. One form in particular is one of an Anubite armoured from head to claw in metal. Not simply clad, but become. In that form her skin is metal, forming a formidable exoskeleton of armour. With eyes of shining metal and an almost impenetrable hide, Kahi has found this form rather useful in certain situations. This does, however make her substantially heavier, making her less agile in general. She 'prefers' being fast.
Form shifting, living "moodstone"
Sometimes, it proves too much for many that get to know of her ability to change herself completely. She has been described as a living "moodstone". Her emotions, should they be felt keenly enough alter her form. Whether she wants them to or not. For example, should she feel afraid, her fear will materialise itself into a darkened, imposing form.
Her balance has changed. With the growth and evolution that Black Furr achieved while out in the world, Kahi has become something more than she was. Taking on emotions more keenly. She is comeplete, gaining great strength from the reunion of 'ib' and 'akh'. However, the being known as Black Furr is effectively no more. Taken into the whole and made heart again. Kahi is a new animal, however similar she is.
In Battle
As stated, much of Kahi's ability to fight stems from her ability to alter her shape. She can become more agile, stronger and give herself increased endurance this way. You will hardly ever see her fighting in a humanoid shape, simply because in such a form; she only has the abilities a human would. Reasonable strength for her size, but still only that of a human.
However, she does have the strength of her 'Ka' and 'Ba'. She has what I can only describe as a very high spirit pressure. This can be seen when she utilizes her 'inner strength' as a strong glowing aura around her upper torso. This improves all of her abilities. From the strength of her 'Ka' and more often than not, her 'Ba'. 'Ba' is another way of saying 'soul of the heart'. It is an energy of feeling and unlike 'Ka' or, 'soul of the mind' it is someones personality; a person's feelings.
From her energies, her 'Ka' and 'Ba'; Kahi's aura of energy does change depending upon her feelings at the time. Also, the shape she takes also can have an effect on this energy.
That aside, Kahi sights with martial prowess. Forming from energy and using effectively two large Khopesh[1], vicious curved blades of her home. She has had millennia to practice her martial art, a love of dance and her innate abilities make her formidable in close range; even to a master.
Kahi's Game
As a Sphinx, Kahi is forced to ask a question when any one person sees her true self; the form a the Sphinx. Kahi is compelled to ask that person what they truely want, what they 'wish' for. Should a person reply and make a wish, even simply by speaking it. They will have entered into Kahi's game. Kahi will issue the player a riddle. To play for is the players wish and whatever suitable loss against it. The player has twenty four hours to answer Kahi's riddle without help or interference.
If the player wins, they get their wish; if it is possible for Kahi to grant. Should the player lose, get the riddle wrong. They lose whatever it is they wagered against the wish. Kahi will take whatever it was from them and very little in this world could stop her. It is an oath, you see. Binding and complex, there are very few ways out of Kahi's game. Death being the most popular choice.
The loss of Kahi's game can range depending upon the wish. As example:
Wish for immortality and lose, Kahi will kill the player.
If you are blind and you wish for your sight back, then lose; Kahi will take one of your other senses.
Wish for wealth above all else, all food and drink you ever touch will turn to gold.
Wish for strength, for whatever purpose and lose; Kahi will sap your strength until you lay as the weakest being upon the Earth.
Her game even holds power over Gods and Demons given the nature of it. There are very few things in creation that can nullify her game. Kahi, however does not like playing her game with anyone. She has lost more friends to it than she cares to remember. Even though she tries, she cannot forget them. Their names, their faces. What they wished for and why.
Kahi's History
Kahi has not always been as she is now. For the longest time the sphinx was broken, into two distinct halves. There was her, Black Furr and there was him, White Furr.
She was "ib", the heart of the being that once was. Her emotions ruled her. Given the fluidity of her body, she was found to be an emo-morph at times of high emotion when she couldn’t control the storm anymore. She had however, evolved a great deal from the day of her birth. She had a mind of her own, as such she always strove to better herself.
He was "akh", the mind from which feeling was stolen. He was cold and logical, he never stopped. He had the same potential as Black Furr. However, given his nature he was extremely close minded in his abilities. He also had the power to change his form. However he only ever did to achieve a goal. His goal was to reunite with Black Furr and become whole again. He remembered what they used to be, he remembered feelings; above all else wanted them back. Despite his pretensions, all his logic and thought. He had evolved to a certain extent. He had his own feelings, wants and needs.
Black Furr was the heart of Kahi. She was simply fire and shadow, held in existence by Seth’s will alone. She was tasked by her Master in many ways; the destruction of evil and the protection of the good.
The title Black Furr was simply something the imaginative masses dubbed her. At that time, she rarely gave out her real name. An immortal through lack of choice, she had become despondent at always being forgotten. Over the years, all those that knew her and once loved her had gone. Her name fades from the world everytime.
Existence and Friends
She has made friends in the mortal realm. People that mean a great deal to her. Being a creature of heart and feeling, she cares deeply for all of them. She had become so close to two people in particular, that she has given her heart to them and they to eachother. It's a rather complex affair. To say the least it's more than simple marriage. When Kahi's heart decides, it offers itself to that person. Should they decide to take it, they become bound to her and she to them. This is the power of her love. As with everyone else, it is possible to love more than one person at once. A re-occurring problem for Kahi with her friends is when they find out what she is- and what she is capable of. They are often in need... Though Kahi does what ever she can for them, more often than not they end up playing her little game. Making a wish and gambling whatever the price. Kahi has lost more then a few friends to her 'gift'.
Kahi's relationship with Seth is needless to say a complex one. Many see them as a couple, this is however a rather incorrect view of them. Seth is her creator and yet she is made of nothing of Seth himself. She and Seth have been very close in the past. Sharing their existance because they were each, all that they had in the world. They love each other.
Friends
She is always kind to those who are kind to her. She makes very strong bonds with those she is around. To take note at this point would be wise. Even though she is kind, loving and affectionate she is capable of immense cruelty. Rage and anger run through her and are hard to control. So a word to those thinking of treating her badly. Know that, the physical manifestation of her anger, her fear, and her pain are forces to be noted. They are quite often in the flow of feeling, unthinking, mindless things.
She was, in her Masters exile. Created for one reason. One purpose. Company, Friendship. Just someone to love.
