The Lady Of The Lake - Tumblr Posts
If you could become one SGE character for a day, who would you want to be?
Instead of answering with a character whose identity I simply like (I have multiple possibilities in mind), I think I'll just go down the one pragmatic route I've thought out: The Lady of the Lake (pre-TCY, of course).
If you'd like to know why, well, I'd love to be a powerful magic-user like Rhian, Rafal, Merlin, or Japeth, but she makes the most sense. Rhian and Rafal are only conditionally immortal and were bound to the Pen, and I wouldn't want to be beholden to that thing. Too much trouble! Japeth and Merlin are decent options, being wizards, but they're mortal, alack! So, that leaves the Lady, who, while I think she may technically be mortal, or perhaps, immortal with the infamous subclause of no romantic partners ever, she's not nearly at as much of a high risk. Thus, I would get virtual, near-immortality (agelessness, at the very least), potent sorcery, and the isolation that comes with my role would make it easy for me to keep my immortality.
However, if it were just for a singular day, and I wasn't threatened by the Pen, I'd pick Rafal, assuming I had full run of both Schools. And, I might do psychological experiments on the students, humane ones though, if anything came to mind. I'm not nearly as bad as him. Or, I'd travel the Woods and fly, or I'd read all the obscure tales lost to time in the silver tower, and take advantage of my newfound sorcerer abilities.
"...acount of the Macgregors denies this circumstance entirely; another ascribes it to the savage and bloodthirsty work of a single individual, the bastard brother of the Laird of Macgregor, who amused himself with this second massacre of the innocents, in express disobedience to the chief, by whom he was left their guardians during the pursuit of the Colquhouns."
Never actually read this book, bought it from an antique store cause it looked cool and haven't gotten around to it sense, now I guess I have to in order to figure out what the heck that meant.
