Fandom/Universe: Fireside Tales
Character(s): Ellie, Tass
Ellie is mute and is some sort of hybrid creature (human and something else... I never decided on WHAT). But this resulted in her having the ability to see people's deaths before they happened. When she comes into skin contact with someone for the first time, she can see exactly how they are going to die. She never really understood it until she was seven when her mentor/teacher/brother-type person died (Duncan) right in front of her in the exact same way she saw it happen. After that she kind of went insane and ended up becoming an assassin, feeling like it gave her some sense of control over her visions. She also ends up wearing this bigass cloak and mask and gloves so that none of her skin is ever exposed. She only touches people after she's killed them.
Tass comes from a village of fire mages. The society is slowly dying out, because their magic has a kick of karma to it. Whatever power they dole out comes back to hit the user at almost full power. Also, they HAVE to use the fire magic from time to time and in moderation, because otherwise it either a) is too powerful for them to stand the recoil b) builds up inside of them until one day it consumes them entirely. So uh, their lives suck. Tass' sister and father have already been consumed in their own flames (his sister in an effort to protect him, which is pretty terrible). Despite all that, Tass is a pretty happy and optimistic guy. He also dreams of a future where he can control the fire inside of him without fear and goes searching for that very answer.
Some stuff happens, Ellie saves his life on some instinct and then panics and leaves him all alone, he desperately tries to find her and thank her and eventually they wind up traveling together. She is silent and he's silly! She's a badass and he's not a very good fighter at all!
Also, she eventually does have to touch his skin and sees his death and then eventually is able to stop it, making her realize that her visions are not set in stone and that the future is never a sure thing. I don't know if Tass ever manages to overcome his fire problems though. :\
a/n: Ah, I missed these guys. They are awesome and totally OTP and there storyline is still so very fuzzy, which I kind of like. But, plot aside, I know these two like the back of my hand.
