Melody [Dagomis' Flute]

by **Dagomis** December 3rd 2008, 7:52 pm

Name: Melody
Appearance: Melody is a basic black 8-holed wooden flute at a basic length of 12 inches. It has the same look as any other flute with (the aforementioned) 8 holes, along with the separate hole for playing. It is completely hollow having two holes on the opposite sides to allow the collective sound waves to escape along with Dagomis' energy to be used for Dagomis' musical spells. There is nothing extra in or on this flute, that either amplify the power of the flute or make it easier for Dagomis to use.
Effects: 1. Blending: This is one of the basic abilities usable by an accomplished warrior. This is the ability in which the energy of Dagomis, and the sound waves of the flute blend to make use of the chosen spells in order to attack or defend himself in times of battle or to simply bring order to the area and the people or living being within the area. While this ability isn't anything special, it does allow for all of the other things made able by the flute to bring forth the true power that allows for Melody to be used in battle. blending is a key part to the use of the flute, an unstoppable force that allows Dagomis to bring forth a strength that only his flute can unlock. The Blending sounds no different than if Dagomis is just playing the flute in a recital or just playing for the sake of playing.

2. Summoning: In this technique, Dagomis will draw blood for the fingerprint area of his right thumb and draw a vertical line of blood along the tattoo of Melody on his left shoulder. The flute will then appear in his right hand, where it can be used. Before the summoning, the flute is held in a tattoo on Dagomis' left shoulder to save space and make stealth missions easier. While in tattoo form, the flute appears as just a small hollow rectangle within the butterfly tattoo (see Geki). This way of storage and summoning allows for both the safety of the flute as well as the quick movement required in most situations that come up in a warriors life, including battle, stealth, training, and regular everyday life
without heavy packs or other such things that do nothing but take up room.

3. Evolution: A transformation technique, which utilizes Melody. When this technique is used, Dagomis will speak the incantation: "Darkness evolves". Once said, shadows from the area will begin to be stripped of their power (in the form of bubbles) and float toward Melody. These will make contact with the flute and begin to add on to it, continuing until the flutes takes on the form of a scythe with the flute holes remaining. When done absorbing the darkness, Melody takes on this form:

History: This is a flute whittled and darkened by Dagomis' mother. While in the Demon Realm, with his family, he learned to play the flute from his mother. His mother taught him this seeing the beauty within his soul, that could only be released through something pure rather than having it bottled up leaving a hole in his soul, by simply battling and training. From the first moment that he saw his mother played and touched a flute, Dagomis fell in love with the music and the musical instrument never wanting to stop even when fighting. Once Dagomis had mastered the flute his mother gave him a wooden one just like the one he has now for him to play whenever he wished and could. But, while traveling with the Horde of warriors, "Death" snapped that flute to test Dagomis' mental capacity and to break him of the flute playing habit. This led to his killing "Death". Before coming to Sentou Gakuin, he visited the house of his mother and father. As he went through the house, he entered his parent's room. On the bed was a black flute, the flute of his mother, something that brought back the memories of his mother and of his life before "Death" and his horde. He took the flute from the house and now carries it with him utilizing it in his techniques.
