Olympia Dolloway
Olympia had only just shut her mouth, when a flurry of introductions reached her ears. Scrutinizing the six unfamiliar faces, it was hard not to marvel at the diversity and warmth of their conversation. Providing the present state of affairs and tensions at the boiling point, the edge of hostility between the two races seemed to have worn blunt. Undoubtedly, it was a nice change to what she had grown used to these past months.
The humans, Ariens and Witches are held together by a fine line, all these years it had kept them in order, kept them fixed, kept them in their rightful place. But, Olympia knew that no string can withstand the grasp of time, and one day that thin, silk thread would snap, spilling the beads of bloodshed, devastation and rage. And if in fact the beads were collected, and strung once more, that last pearl would always remain lost.
A raspy, grating voice drew her out from reverie. It was spoken by, for lack of a better word, the "being" that sat opposite, a hulking, metal giant. Who supposedly and in her opinion, quite arrogantly announced himself as the Knight of the Lady.
"Unlikely it would be that a mechanical device could match a magical one in harmful might.
Brief was his statement, and the responses was just as quick. Though Olympia retained her judgement she begged to differ. Magic could not be progressive, spells were set in stone and would never broaden past the confines of imagination. Technology by comparison, could be adapted and changed to suit a purpose, over generations it would develop and unlike magic did not sap the strength of the inventor. Magic relied on the invention of technology, gathering influence and sparks of an idea to kindle the fire. Besides, technology that is far enough advanced, will be indistinguishable from magic.
"Pleasure to meet you, Helbrecht." she remarked, acknowledging the gargantuan figure, the white hare's welcome, however, remained ignored.
Seated beside the knight was a woman. She would have been considered quite a beauty if not for the pentagram tattooed on her collarbone and the silvery-white, canine ears that peeked out from underneath her thick chestnut hair. Nearby was the Princess of the Marine Kingdom, who gave an almost unusual impression of normality. Although her outwardly appearance said otherwise, Olympia could detect the hint of determination and control that was apparent when she spoke.
"In reply to both your inquiries, I am indeed here for the competition. My partner is Lord Avery Dellafontane but is subject to change. My dance style is not fixed and I am trained in a variety of dances, Mazurka and Baroque dances to name a couple. But the expressive nature and grace of ballet make it my preferable dance style. Nonetheless, the opportunity to learn some of the dances of you homeland, Princess Naomi, definitely interests me."
