Temperance and Vengeance

==Summary==
Temperance and Vengeance are twin daggers whose origin is to be found in ancient Egypt. During the 4th century BC they were kept in the Phoenician city of Tyre, where Kan-Ra was serving as the advisor of its ruler while craving the daggers for himself. At the time Alexander the Great had invaded the land, and Kan-Ra knew he would have seized the daggers for himself if he were to see them. He ruler of Tyre to oppose the Macedonian king, resulting in the breach of the city after a 7 months-long siege. Exploiting the chaos that followed, Kan-Ra stole the daggers and escaped the city.
He eventually arrived in South America and used the power of the daggers to brainwash the local tribes, making them believe he was a messenger of Viracocha, the Inca god of creation, and ruling as a petty and evil tyrant. Centuries later Aganos and the Night Guard took action against the sorcerer, who was eventually overthrown and sealed away, with his daggers meeting a similar fate.
Temperance and Vengeance resurfaced in modern times from the vaults of the Night Guard when Maya used them to fend off the forces of Ultratech who had invaded the Citadel of Dawn. The daggers proved themselves double-edged weapons, both allowing Maya to fight against her many enemies, while waging war to control her mind and turn her into a bloodthirsty monster.

*Levitation: Despite being normally driven by human hands, Temperance and Vengeance have the ability to levitate on their own. In this way they can return to their user after being thrown, and even attack the opponent independently, as shown by several of Maya's attacks, including techniques such as Temperance/Vengeance Strike, Enmity Strike and Dagger Assault.

*Mind Manipulation: Temperance and Vengeance's second most notable trait is the power to control minds. They themselves try to take over their user from the very first moment they are grabbed. Vengeance in particular, being tied to the homonym notion, pushes the user to commit bloodshed.

Even resisting the initial attempt may prove insufficient. In fact, the daggers will keep tormenting their wielder as time goes on, to ultimately overcome their struggles. Once again, Vengeance is the most powerful of the two, having the power to fill the user's mind with gruesome images meant to fuel their desire for revenge and make them embrace bloodlust.

Temperance and Vengeance can also be used to influence large amounts of people and bend their mind to the user's will. This can apparently be achieved only by those knowledgeable enough to tap into such power, such as the sorcerer Kan-Ra. When he arrived in South-America, Kan-Ra used the daggers to enslave the local tribes and rule over them.
