Silver Blade

Silver Blade

Silver Blade is the Unicorn bonded with Florence Shekoni and aligned with the Earth Element

### Life on the Island

Like most riders Flo tried the Hatchery Door and indeed opened it, searched for her egg and Silver Blade was born to be bonded with her.

Immediately after his birth Flo screamed and alerted her future quartet and their unicorns. This was due to Silver Blade being a Silver unicorn and Flo knowing the powers and abilities of Silver unicorns, having been raised on them her entire life. When Flo is arguing with Mitchell about what to do about Skandar Silver Blade immediately puts his status to work and imperiously looks down at Mitchell, as if to emphasis Flo’s point.

When it came time to being sorted into their aligned element Silver Blade makes a show of his power in the Earth element, almost scaring Flo to death and amazing everyone with his powers.

Flo got lots offers for quartets of people who want a Silver in their group more than Flo herself. In the end she chooses the first three riders she had a conversation with, Skandar, Bobby and Mitchell.

Silver Blade brings a lot of attention to both Flo as his rider and himself as a silver and is often the topic of discussion. Due to his strength Flo was one of the first to mutate in their classes.

During their first year Flo is often very wary of Blade for reasons he cannot fully understand, not having yet began to feel their emotions. But Flo often has trouble controlling his magic.

Silver Blade tolerates the other unicorns of his quartet, Falcon’s Wrath, Scoundrel’s Luck and Red Night’s Delight but doesn’t seem truly happy with them as he often stands back from them.

As the year goes on Silver Blade gets his own armour, which fittingly is silver. Skandar described not even being able to look directly at them. At the training trial Flo comes in 5th place, due to Flo’s incredible flying and Blade’s strength.

However disaster soon strikes as the Weaver uses this distraction to capture Silver Blade, as she had New-Age Frost almost a year previous. Using Skandar’s spirit powers they are able to follow the green bond and find both Silver Blade with the Weaver and her army.

During the fighting Flo manages to reunite with Silver Blade and using their powers they are able to defend the quartet from the Weaver’s power, which is a mighty feat in and of itself. Combining their powers they are able to stop the Island from being overrun with the Weaver’s army.

During his second year Silver Blade frequently gives Flo trouble trying to summon weapons as she ends up summoning weapons far too large for the task at hand.

Silver Blade and Flo begin going to the council meetings. Despite how Silver Blade behaves with his other unicorns in his quartet he gets on really well with the other Silvers at the meeting. Something that Flo comments on.

During one Silver meeting Flo is told that she will have to let Silver Blade kill a wild unicorn to show their loyalty to the Silver Circle. Flo agrees but has no intention of letting Blade kill any other unicorn as it’s not in her nature.

Later in the year near the Chaos Cup Silver Blade regularly checked on Skandar when he wasn't allowed to be next to Scoundrel. He often looked like he was in confusion as to why the two were sad.

Silver Blade and Flo help Skandar and their quartet to save the Island. They hold back a large sand blockade that stops them in their path by helping to create a tunnel through it which leads Skandar to be able to Save the Island.

When they get back to the Eyrie Silver Blade takes a dislike to Kenna’s wild unicorn due to their natures.

## Personality

Unlike Scoundrel, Red and Falcon Blade is a unicorn alone most of the time. While the other unicorns of Skandar, Bobby and Mitchell get on very well and will play with each other Blade prefers to keep some space apart from them. This shows a slightly reclusive side to Blade, as if he knows he’s meant to be different due to being a Silver.

Silver Blade is a very powerful unicorn and though he loves Flo he does sometimes have trouble understanding her as Blade began as quite fearless Flo was the opposite though they gradually began to get over this hurdle.

One good word to use to describe Blade is “imperious” as he sees himself as apart from others and often silently judges them. This isn’t to say Blade is a bad unicorn. But his Silver heritage often clouds him.

Silver Blade seemed to get on well with the other Silver unicorns in the Silver Stronghold. This could indicate that he respects others of his kind and finds comfort in being with them. Despite the Silver Circle being less than ideal friends.

Flo loves Silver Blade but their start was very rocky due to Blade’s amazingly strong powers and Flo’s timid demeanour. This slowly changed when Flo risked her life to save Blade, cementing their bond and bringing Blade’s respect for his rider.

Over time Blade gradually becomes more and more at ease with the other unicorns of his quartet.

## Powers and Abilities

Being a Silver unicorn Silver Blade is among the strongest unicorns ever to be born in the world. The magic of a silver is so naturally strong that they are able to do magic beyond unicorns of any other type of unicorn.

When Silver Blade stepped on the divide everyone commented on how strong he was after just being born and this continued through Flo and Blade's lessons as Blade would often scare Flo with his powers, despite no other unicorn doing this.

Silver Blade is able to conjure weapons for Flo much stronger than anything that she wanted at the time due to the unpredictable magic within the unicorn. In addition it's implied by Flo herself that despite Bobby being a better rider in magic that she and Falcon's wrath were still no match for Flo and Blade in open combat.

Silver Blade was able to help Flo go head to head with the Weaver for a short time. This is amazing as the Weaver was considered to be the most powerful Spirit wielder that ever lived.

In addition to being powerful Silver Blade also cannot be killed by Spirit Wielders magic due to their immense strength.

## Physical appearance

Silver Blade is a male unicorn with silver body, silver horn and black-red eyes. As is typical for unicorn, he is tall in stature and large in size.
