nyykiDay 14: Female Gnome, Shocked, Sword
(This ends the boot camp. It was fun, even with the week long hiatus. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I'll probably do another one again, and if anyone wants to participate next time, just let me know and I'll post the entries before posting my own response)
Corxa looked at the stack of items sitting in front of Janellin.
He said, in that snooty tone all elves used when dealing with the wily folk, "Okay, little gnomess, what are you going to choose from the treasure?"
Corxa really hated the way he talked down to everyone, so just to tweak him she said, "The sword."
The elf huffed. "Can you even use it?"
"We're about to find out, aren't we?"
She reached for it and pulled it out of the pile. She slid the blade out of its scabbard. Everyone stared as the intertwined metals in the blade writhed. The eyes slid off it like a goose liver slipping under someone's shoe, a prank Corxa liked to use on the unsuspecting. She smiled.
And then she heard it. *Hello, my new owner. I am called Carofin.*
Her eyes grew wide and she stared at the sword. As she raised her eyes everyone else was looking at her and the sword, eyes bouncing back and forth.
Corxa smiled, trying to hide her surprise. She definitely picked the best treasure of all.
