(This is an open thread, introducing a new character. Anyone is welcome to notice. The time is night, in the middle of the open desert, perhaps a mile away from a populated oasis village. Feel free to post!)
Deep in the Moraki desert, in the middle of the clear, black night, a fell wind began to blow. Dark clouds - unheard of, as they resembled rain clouds - began to spiral across the full moon.
Near the sandy earth, the wind began to follow the spiraling pattern of the sky, kicking up a myriad of the tiny particals. Slowly, they began to lift up in a small cyclone, spinning faster and faster until it almost seemed a solid object.
From around this sandy cyclone, a dark fog began to issue forth from the ground, waiting towards the spinning sands, getting sucked into it - gradually the cyclone got darker as more and more of it combined.
Pieces of bone. Small bits of dust. Three ebony blades. These things joined the spiral of sand in a constant stream, pieces of a whole.
And then the sand dropped without warning, leaving behind a black fog, floating in place. Within this cloud of solid black, two bright red spots flared to life, illuminating the blackness from the inside.
Kranath Trin, living again.
The black fog dispersed, leaving behind a thin man, deathly pale in face and hand. Long black hair blew unfettered in the remains of the dying wind, this movement mimicked by a long black coat that fell almost to his ankles. In a large sheathe across his back, leading from his right shoulder to his left side, it's tip almost touching the ground, there was a daikatana, it's handle picturing a stylized dragon in gold etching. At the small of his back and connected to a complex series of straps, there was a wakizashi and kodachi, one above the other, placed horizontally.
Across his face, a strange collection of odd, black lines crawled over his flesh, giving him an otherworldly, arcane look. Those hellish eyes stared straight ahead, over the sand dunes, unblinking. He looked as though he were waiting for something.
Above, the clouds that previously screened the sky cleared, to reveal the moon directly above Kranath's form.
