History/Lore:
The Fang of Ënurfala is an ebony dagger associated with the dreadful Naga, Ënurfala. The Naga were wish-fulfilling "dragons," and were sought after by many Annunaki for the paracausal gifts they granted. After much debate it was decided that the bargains made with these creatures came at too high a price, beginning a Great Hunt in which the Naga were made all but extinct. In the battle of Swan Song Meadow, Adonai landed the killing blow on the very last Naga to cement the ascendancy of Annunaki-kind. This Naga was called Ënurfala, who was born with an abnormality that made it so that he possessed two heads as opposed to the biological standard of one. The fossilized remains of Ënurfala were of continued interest to Adonai, who made weapons and armor ornaments with them to thereby acquire unique powers. The bones seemed to retain a will of their own, Ënurfala's harrowing voice flattering and urging Adonai to recklessness, which he paid no mind to. Ënurfala became neglected on Adonai's belt, a second choice over his preferred Harpe. If only he had heeded its call.
Appearance:
In appearance, the Fang of Ënurfala is a double-headed dagger, complementary to the Naga it was named after. Its protective pommel is decorated with golden scroll-work, framed by a hilt of ebon-black steel and wrapped in the hide of a long-extinct Naga. At its most lethal, the dagger can instantly induce death onto a target.
Abilities/Traits:
-Kiss of Death: Unsheathe the Fang, kiss the steel, throw it, and watch your target crumble into the wefts of non-being. In truth, this ability has two ceremonial steps, and that is to kiss the steel and throw it. When you kiss the seal, the blade becomes "cursed" to "induce death," on whatever it strikes. When it strikes, this wish will be fulfilled and the target will crumble into ash--however, if you miss, the Fang will deem the wielder "unfit," and become a normal dagger until it deems its owner "worthy," again. To that end, if another person is to pick up the Fang that is deemed "worthy" by Ënurfala, they will possess ownership over the dagger. In a sense, this ability is a one-shot technique as it will force death onto any sentient being. The drawback to missing makes this weapon a risk versus reward type.
-Shadow Knife: A technique where two knives are thrown, with the Fang of Ënurfala just behind the other so the latter travels in the former's shadow. This creates the illusion of only one thrown knife, giving the opponent a nasty surprise when they are actually under the impression they only have to watch out for one deadly projectile. The Fang is not necessarily thrown in the other's shadow, but can also be thrown parallel to the other, an assignment which is much harder, but also more effective than the base form.
-Sunset: An incredibly precise throwing technique which is designed to hit another knife in mid-air and change its course according to the user's will. The user can make his knives take 90 degree turns using it, or correct knives that would have missed by a hair's margin at the last moment. Knives are targeted at bystanders of the target, and corrected only inches before the target witnesses their life flashing by.
-Starlight: An almost surrealistic technique where a dozen knives are thrown into the air, seemingly with no specific mark or target. The wielder then throws the Fang into the mass, which hits the floating others into their targets so precisely that you could dispatch of no less than seven enemies within a second.
-Bouquet: The user takes three knives between his/her fingers (Fang among those three) and throws them simultaneously. Through a subtle movement of the index and the pink, the pathway of the knives becomes a myriad of spinning and twisting blades, revolving both around their own axis as well as switching positions constantly.
