So this is a private rp meant for 4-5 people and is between Me (Vi Vi), Cifero, HellEye, Pegulsus, and maybe Firox if he wants to join.
This rp is "Private" so please no random comments from people outside the rp. If there are questions pm me. :)
The plot of this rp revolves mostly around my character Lenna, a sylveon sorcerer who has little control over her powers. Every time she uses them she comes close to killing herself and everyone around her. Lenna was offered by HellEye to come to where he learned magic to help solve said problem and some people asked to tag along. Lenna may or may not also have a crush on HE, (she totally does).
I will describe the school in a second, but first character sheets! One character per person.

Name: Kirion
Species : Anthro Tree Spirit
Gender : Male
Age : 22
Height : Top of head is roughly 4ft, his large ears can make him look near 5ft if they stand up
Weight : Umm - not too sure of a specific number, but not overly heavy, he is a bit chubby around the middle though.
Powers : The powers of a Wild Mage, he can potentially cast whatever he sets his mind to, but there can sometimes be unexpected results for better or worse. He does have short range teleporting or 'blinking' as he calls it down near perfectly, but everything else has the potential to go wrong. As a rule of thumb, the larger the spell he attempts, the more likely it won't go as planned. And there is also another drawback to his wild magics - he directly channels the arcane from the earth through himself, which is tiring and can harm him if he overdoes it.
Weapons : Has a small white-wood staff, but he wouldn't hit anything with it - he's not even physically strong enough to do much damage if he did so.
Appearance : Fairly short, with white fur covering his whole body, a long cat-like tail dangles behind him, a little chubby in the belly area only. Large purple eyes (that glow if he is using any magic) purple nose. Two large white ears on his head, and two white growths in front of them - very cylindrical, look kind of like feelers, not as big as his ears.
Clothing : For the sake of this venture, he is wearing his ceremonial dress-robe. It is a deep blue colour with a few white trims. It hugs his torso normally, and then the lower robe section is cut at the sides so his legs are still free to move. No shoes due to digitigrade legs.
Background : An errant tree spirit who has left his birthplace to learn more about the world beyond, and what better place than a school of magic in the outside! Being a tree spirit, he is born of light, but unfortunately he can tend to shrink in the face of danger.
Wow that was pretty long :|

(Yeah it is. :o)

Name: Kixi Windtail
Species: Crat
Gender: Female
Age: 18 or so
Height: 5 feet 9 and 1 half inches
Weight: 180 lbs.
Powers: ???
Weapons: Crat's "knife" (It's longer than a knife, but shorter than a sword, it's unbreakable but cannot break everything, and it always returns to its owner), assorted other things.
Appearance: Grey fur, black hair, blue eyes, no scars, tattoos or piercings; she's mostly in shape, but she has moderately sized hips and a bit of a gut. Her wings, as with most crats, are black-feathered and huge. Her breasts seem to be a large B size.
Clothes: Assorted, but tends to dress in a fairly modest manner (other than leaving her midriff exposed 3/4 of the time, but there's a good reason for that). No skirts or dresses unless it's a special event.
Background: A cousin of the physical adept Cassandra Windtail and the... rather inexplicable Cifero Windtail. She knows that she has some sort of magic, but hasn't really tried to look into it until now. She is skilled in combat, and is quite agile.

Name: HellEye
Species: Red Fox

Age:18
Height: 5'8, average I guess
Weight: 160 or so pounds, I'm a metric guy
Powers: elemental magic I studied a long time.
Weapons:Umm... Magic I guess? No physical weapons.
Appearance:I have no idea what to put in here, I guess normal anthro red fox, orange and white fur, blue eyes, fluffy tail, that sort of thing.
Clothes: Purple wizard robes.
Background: I was a student at the marquise dragma's school, after finishing my education I traveled around the world helping others and learning about magic on my own.

(Sorry I gotta go, so we won't start this right away. I will be back later, I am just going to see deadpool.)

(Alright now that I am back we start. We all start outside the building which is basically a modern wizards college based on the picture that was extremely hard to find. D:)
After a long walk through the city we finally arrive at HE's old college which towered over all the buildings in the area and was certainly impressive. It might not be a castle or some massive catherdral, mostly cause it would stick out like a sore thumb in this modern setting. The wizards had adapted to the times but the building still held a sense mystery and wonder to. The building is surrounded by stone wall and we stand at the front gate which was designed to look like a dragon about to breath fire.
I was standing really close to HE and I was understandably nervous. I had no idea what to expect and for all she knew these wizards could tie her to tabel and repeatedly prod her with needles. I take a deep breath though and speak.
"Is this the place?"
(And that is my intro.)
[attachment deleted by admin]

Standing a short distance from everyone else, the intrigued spirit looks up and all around the large structure in front of him, having never seen many large buildings yet - the dragon statue gate causes him to recoil a step at first, but then he notices it isn't real and he walks toward the carvings to take a closer look.
"This place sure is big - so it must be important right? At a guess I'd say it's the place. Do people make buildings this large often? I've only seen a few places outside the forest." he says over his shoulder, looking at the detailing on the mouth and face of the dragon archway.
(Timezones gonna be a problem - So if I'm not around, lets just say my character follows along doing basic things with the group when appropriate)
-
(Yeah that's why I didn't want a large group of people, cause as I said it creates problems. But it felt wrong and really rude to have it just be me and HE then exclude everyone else. However I am not allowing more than 6 people cause I don't think I could handle more. @.@)
-
(HE is in bed now I think, so will be some hours now before he posts his part - and I'm about to head to bed myself. Stupid timezones! But I don't wanna miss out this sounds like its gonna be fun! Even pulled out some old D&D spell lists for ideas, so if you ever need some ideas for magic let me know ^_^ )
-
(Just leaving a note here that I won't be on tomorrow. So please don't start without me.)
-
(We won't ^_^ HE is out for a few more hours this morning, and I'll be out for a few hours at some point in the day too... So um, slow start - but we'll get there I'm sure!)
-
(is tomorrow today? I got lost in the timezones again

I've got a nice plan to start this, let us know when you're on, I'll open the gate.)
-
(Looking forward to us getting this adventure going :D )
-
(I am actually on right now, the game was shorter than expected.)
-
(Great! We just need HE's attention now - and I can stay up a bit longer to see what happens next ^_^ )
-
(I am here too... Also, dealing with some sort of stomach virus that was supposed to be gone by now. Well... the aftermath. I'm not feverish anymore, but.... some symptoms remain.)
-
(I don't think I'll be on much longer today, but here's my part of intro)
I enter the dragon’s maw and make a rune in the air with my paw, then whisper a keyword and the doors open.
Behind them is a shadowy figure that turns around and comes closer. It says:
“What are you doing here?”
“My friends and I came here to see the wizards for their knowledge” I reply.
“The wizards don’t rule the college now, darkness has taken over it” The figure says as the sky gets darker.
“Who are you anyway, explain yourself!” I shout with a bit of fear.
“I’m glad you asked, HellEye!”
“How do you know my name?”
The figure comes closer and
Hugs me. “I’m your friend after all” it says as the shadow dissipates, revealing gray wolf’s face
“Oh my god Philip, you scared me a lot…”
I start to giggle
-
Kirion was standing nearby the exchange, over hearing most of it. His eyes had widened at the mention of darkness, but now relaxed, after the joke was revealed. With that, the Spirit lets out a small sigh of relief.
"So, you two know each other?" he asks, whilst returning to examining the intricate entrance.
-
I feel a small twinge of pain as my birthmark tends to react to even the smallest shadow amounts of shadow magic in the area. It doesn't last long but it still hurts.
"Please...don't use shadow magic." I say.
-
"yeah, it's my good friend, Philip Firepaw." I answer. "we studied together before I left the school to travel.
these are my friends: Kirion, Lenna and Kixi" I introduce you to the wolf.
He bows a little, then notices the pain in Lenna's face
" I'm sorry, I didn't know... Well, you must be tired after the trip! Please enter, I'll ask to prepare the rooms and food." He pulls out a small gem and waves around it. "follow me please"
-
Lenna follows but is still being nervous as there could be multiple people casting shadow spells in the college. It wouldn't make sense for them to stop just for her so she was a more than a little scared.
-
Kirion looks to Lenna and at her slight pained expression asks "Do you need any help there, Lenna?"
Not forgetting a friend of HellEye just greeted him, he, without thinking, does a small gesture with his hand - a short greeting where he's from, but then remembers it's unlikely anyone would understand it so he adjusts with a quick "Hello, Firepaw" and an affirming nod, "Thank you for your hospitality" before following the wolf.
(Off to bed for now - Sorry! Will come on and post first thing in the morning though, promise!)
-
"I'll be fine...I have felt worse pain." I say and I seem to get depressed at that thought.
-
"thank you Philip. How is the school these days?" I ask as we walk towards the building
"we could be doing better, the archmage is getting old, the circle is strong as always." he replies and opens the big door that leads inside.
The great hall couldn't certainly be doing better contrary to what the wolf said. It's at least 30 feet tall, full of golden light. It's illuminated by little balls of light floating everywhere. One of them zips towards the group as soon as the doors open to provide light wherever they go. Philip goes towards a magical elevator and gets on it, then starts floating up. I join him, not thinking about my friends who might've not seen such thing before.
(I'll be going too, I'm excited to continue this tomorrow, hopefully a bit earlier than 2am...)
-
(Ok have a good night. :))
-
Kixi followed the others, taking in the architecture of the college as she did so and remaining mostly quiet.
-
Kirion stares at the platform Helleye and Firepaw are standing on with a curious look on his face.
"Wait... Is that..?" is all he gets out before a slightly ajar door catches his eye, with many books able to be seen through the opening. He squints his eyes to try and take a better look through the gap.
-
Kixi casually looked over at Kirion. "Something catch your eye?" she asked, following his gaze.
-
Looks over his shoulder and replies "Oh - Just some books. Just thinking, they might have one on wild magic."
He looks back to the strange platform HellEye is standing on.
-
Hearing the talk I ask Philip "can we look through the library later?"
He nods and waves for you to come: "your rooms are upstairs, come on over here. You're going to like this"
-
He cautiously steps on the pad and speaks in a hesitant tone "Well, okay then - if you're sure about that last part..."
-
"just close your eyes if you're afraid of heights. It will be over in no time" I smile to Pegu
(we should wait for Lenna though...)
-
Kirion sighs gently "I-I knew it..." He shudders a little tilting his head up and clamping his eyes shut.
(Yeah, I'm gonna leave it there to wait for Vi Vi)
-
(Agreed.)
Kixi nodded and stepped onto the platform. "Some place you've got here," she said to Philip.
-
Lenna steps on the platform and waits for it to got up.
(Sorry, school work and all that. T_T)
-
(Understood.)
Kixi played with the zipper of her hoodie a little as she waited.
-
The platform starts rising, then moves sideways and positions itself under a hole in the ceiling. It goes through it into a corridor with countless doors on both sides. After going through it for a moment it stops in a seemingly random place. Philip gets off of it, opens four rooms and says
"These are yours, be our guests! The food is waiting inside. When you eat and rest visit my office on the 6th floor, you'll explain what is the goal of your visit here. Enjoy the meal." he says as he steps on another disc that approaches and disappears in the long corridor. "
(I hope ViVi will be on a bit earlier today.)
-
Doesn't open his eyes but feels the platform stop "A-Are we safe to move?" Kirion asks with a shaky hint in his voice.
-
"yes Kirion, you did great. Get some rest now friends. I know I will."
I go into one of the rooms, close the door and start eating what's prepared.
-
Keeping his eyes closed he walks until he's off of it and on stable ground before looking to one of the open room. He is almost dumbstruck by what he sees "Such a big room... For me?" he questions, but he quickly forgets it upon spotting the prepared food, which he rushes to savour.
-
(Looks like most everyone is on. :D also Michen will be joining our rp as a someone at the college.)
Lenna goes into her room and just lays on the bed. She was far to nervous to eat and she was scared of what she might find out about her birthmark.
-
(cool, does he have any role he would like to have in the school? I have a lot of the positions figured out already, but I'm sure he'll fit somewhere. Just not at the top please, I'm proud of what I've come up with

Also I got kinda bored and started writing a story about the school, without us, just some random adventures I guess)
After eating the meal HellEye lies on the bed and sighs, his head is filled with memories of the school.
-
Kirion eventually finishes his meal and slumps onto the bed he was given, staring up at the crystals lighting the room, and quietly speaks to himself "Kind of like home..."
-
(You should pm him about that.)
I unfortunately can't wait any longer. I have been suffering with these powers for to long and while these people had been nice, I wanted answers.
Not waiting for the other's I go to elevator and activate sending me to the second floor.

(Sixth I mean)
-
Still talking to himself softly "Maybe I could...Just wait for everyone to be in bed? Then maybe... they might have something on wild magic?" He sits himself up and looks out a window to wait, but quickly becomes restless.
"No, I can go now... I've usually been good at keeping out of sight" He assures himself, before heading to the door and pushing it open slowly and softly, just enough for him to squeeze out into the corridors. He raises an eyebrow at the platform they arrived on being missing, but doesn't stop to think too much of it. He creeps down the halls, his ears standing up and listening for anyone and anything that might see him wandering.
-
The elevator arrives at the sixth floor and i get off looking for the office.
-
Kirion quietly creeps down the long corridor on his padded paws, looking for any sort of indicator of where he was in the college.
He whispers to himself "Come on, think, where was that room with the books..."
-
I wake up from my half sleep to a knocking to the door. I get up and open them.
"welcome back, HellEye, to the academy" says the old monkey. "it's good to see you again boy!"
"thank you, master Xander. It's an honor to meet you again. What is it you need?"
"do I have to be in need to see my former student?" he laughs and then coughs. "I've heard you're trying to learn about your friend's powers. A noble goal indeed. Know this however. I feel a dark presence in here. Be careful and warn your companions."
"thank you master, I will. We were told to go meet Phillip in his office. We should go there now."
"I believe one of your friends is already on her way there. The three spirit has different plans for now. Join one of them now."
I smile at my old master, his old body being just a shell for his great power he clearly has control of. I stand on a disc that floats near and go to the sixth floor.
(one question. Is Kixi still in here? I guess she's in her room for now, what about later?)
-
(Cifero I notice isn't on as frequently on the week days. She may be busy or something.)
-
(ok then, does she mind us pushing a bit, or should we just do idle stuff when she's not around. I have no idea how rp's work.)
-
Kirion reaches the hole the elevator platform came up from, he tentatively peers over the edge, but then immediately recoils in fear with a distressed squeak, falling on his tail.
"O-Okay... Just blink down. It'll be fine."
He closes his eyes and focuses his mind for a brief moment before blinking down to the floor he saw the library on. Upon arrival he quickly hides by a pillar to make sure he isn't seen, before continuing towards his current goal.
-
(ok then, does she mind us pushing a bit, or should we just do idle stuff when she's not around. I have no idea how rp's work.)
(I don't want to go too far without her, not unless she has confirmed that we can without her. Like pegu did.)
-
(Perhaps continue, but drop Ciefero a PM. We can do small stuff within the college right now. They did mention they had a stomach virus, so they might not be on for a while if that's gotten worse for them again. That or treat it like D&D, where people who miss a session or arrive late, just catch up to the group in-character.)
-
(ok then, I hope she gets better. I guess I'll go with the first option tho.)
When still on the same floor I hear a distinctive flash sound and think "master Xander was right about Kirion going his own ways I guess. Maybe I should be with him just in case. Lenna will find Philip on her own I'm sure."
I change the direction of the disc to go to the ground floor instead.
-
I finally found the office and give a knock at the door.
-
Kirion has arrived at the door he peered through earlier - It's now shut but not locked, so he pushes the door open as quietly as he can and slips in, hiding by a shelf just in case.
He peers round the corner of the shelf to see if anyone is in the room.
-
When floating down from the ceiling I notice one of the doors open slightly. When I get down on the ground I'll walk in that direction.
Meanwhile Philip opens the door and sees Lenna standing in front. He's a bit surprised she's alone but welcomes her to the office.
"want some tea?" He asks politely.
(will I have to do all the dialogues for the mages? Seems a lot, I guess you can take it from now ViVi. Unless you want me to talk as Philip. I can do the sciency stuff, chit chats are fine on your own I guess. )
-
By this point, Kirion has climbed up onto a shelf and is quickly looking down all the titles, in a hope of finding even a scrap of writing on wild mages.
"Come ooon, come on..." he softly sighs to himself, still scanning quickly over the many old volumes of knowledge.
-
(If I knew more about Philip and his character I would take over, but I don't. Let's just try not to split the party anymore than we have.)
"No thanks...i wanted to tell you why I was here. In fact I should probably show you." I say and turn around. I let my dress slip a little and show Philip my birthmark seems slightly dried out with all the light spells in the area weakening it.
-
(After this I'll try not to, sorry ;) )
Kirion had finished his quick scan of all the volumes on the shelves, and had nothing but a disappointing huff to give before stepping back on the shelf. The shelf creaks loudly.
"Oh no..." are the only words Kirion can say before the shelf he's standing on gives out under him, causing him and many books to fall in a heap on the floor.
"Oh, no no no!" his voice now flustered with panic, he begins trying to pick up the books to clean the mess up.
-
I open the door quietly and see Kirion sitting on the floor surrounded by books. Looking up I can see a broken shelf. I sit next to him and help him clean the mess.
"well then. It's not nice reading others books. What were you looking for? You should've asked, I would get someone from the library to help you. "
Philip opens his eyes wide.
"do you know how lucky you are to be here? The mark like that has not been seen for a long time now. How did you survive wit..." he stops mid sentence, feeling a powerful magic radiating from Lenna's bag. "I have to inform the Archmage immediately." he says, leaving in a rush. "wait in your room please" can be heard echoing around the sixth floor.
-
Kirion expression changes to one of disappointment - in himself.
"S-Sorry... I just...I couldn't wait. But I looked through all the titles here, nothing here can help me" he tells HellEye, in a somber tone as he picks up a cluster of books and puts them back.
-
"don't worry about it now. I'll ask for whatever you need tomorrow. We should go to Philips office, Lenna should be there." I say as I put the rest of the books on the shelf. I open the door and wait for Kirion.
-
Kirion takes a deep breath before responding with a quiet, "Okay", his actions bothering him, but he steps out the library and into the corridor outside and heads towards the platform HellEye arrived on.
-
I step onto the platform, wait for Pegu and send us to the sixth floor.
"I'll have to teach you all how these work one day" I say as I cover Pegu's eyes so he doesn't get scared.
-
Whilst on the moving platform, he takes deep breaths with his eyes covered by HellEye, to help himself remain calm.
He eventually picks up some courage to ask "S-So, where did you say we were going?" still blind to his surroundings, for the better.
-
"Philips office on the sixth floor. He invited us there, I've been told Lenna was on her way to meet him. We will wait for her and get to the rooms for the night if you're fine with that."
(I'll be going to sleep soon, would be cool if the sonas went to sleep too. Nice breaking point.)
-
A compliant "Okay" is all that comes to Kirion right now, after making a fool of himself.
-
We approach Philips office and notice the doors are open. Looking inside, I see Lenna standing in the middle of the room.
"are you okay? Where's Philip?" I ask.
-
Kirion's curiosity once again rekindles upon entering this new room. He looks all around the office from the doorway, his large purple eyes taking in every detail he can.
-
I open the door quietly and see Kirion sitting on the floor surrounded by books. Looking up I can see a broken shelf. I sit next to him and help him clean the mess.
"well then. It's not nice reading others books. What were you looking for? You should've asked, I would get someone from the library to help you. "
Philip opens his eyes wide.
"do you know how lucky you are to be here? The mark like that has not been seen for a long time now. How did you survive wit..." he stops mid sentence, feeling a powerful magic radiating from Lenna's bag. "I have to inform the Archmage immediately." he says, leaving in a rush. "wait in your room please" can be heard echoing around the sixth floor.
"...ok." I say and head back to my room now even more scared.
(Sorry had to do stuff.)

(Oops retcon what I just said! D:)
-
(that's fine, I guess ima edit the previous post. And off to sleep for now. Thanks, it was amazing :D)
-
"I am fine...was just headed back to my room." I say as I look extremely nervous.
"Philip went to get the archmage."
-
"it has to be serious then... Come on, I'll get you to the room." I say as I help her get onto the disk and wait for Kirion.
-
Kirion quietly follows Lenna and HellEye to the platform, currently lost in thought. He closes his eyes in preparation for yet another ride on the platform, until one of the feeler like appendages on his head gives him a sensation. A feeling he's never felt before, and it causes him to open his eyes for a moment.
-
As soon as Kirion steps in the platform it starts going in the direction we came from. I don't notice Kirion opening his eyes, I'm worried for Lenna. In the long shaft it turns into the corridor of doors. It stops under our rooms. I help Lenna get off of the platform and to her room.
"get some rest after the trip finally. Tomorrow is also a day. We'll get through it together." I hug her for good night.
-
"Thank you." I smile and hug back. I blush for a moment and also quickly give HE a kiss before running into my room.
-
Kirion is still intrigued by the feeling he just experienced, it even made his fear of heights fade for the brief trip on the platform.
He utters "I-I'm going to get some rest..." to HellEye and Lenna, before walking towards his room and heading in.
Before he closes his door he feels it again, slightly stronger than before, and it fades when he finishes closing the door.
He whispers to himself "Strange..." before climbing into the large bed provided by the mages.
-
For the first time I blush too. I go into my room smiling, lay in the bed and fall asleep.
(g'night, been fun but it's 1am :D)
-
(Night HE! *good night hug* Look forward to more of this tommorow. You too Vi Vi ^_^ )
-
(K goodnight you two.)
-
(Finally back... And finally completely better.)
Kixi, after eating, went to the office. However, finding no one there, she simply went to her room, changed into her sleep clothes, and bedded down for the night.
-
(Sorry cifero, everyone is off right now.)
-
(I know... but a *CENSORED* can dream, can't they?)
-
(Yes yes they can...but that's a different story.)
-
Kirion wakes up early in the morning, and sits upright, looking around the room. He puts a hand up and brushes one of his 'feelers' gently, "What was that last night..." he asks it rhetorically.
Kirion hops down from the bed that is all too large for one of his size, and sits cross legged on the floor. He puts his hands close together and begins a sort of meditative exercise, summoning a small purple shape between his hands that twists and molds into different forms as he stares at it.
"Better not wander off again for now..." he concedes to himself.
-
I wake up wake up as well but in a cold sweat. I had another nightmare...which were very frequent, but this one was particularly bad. I don't remember what happened though so i slip out of bed and get dressed.
-
I wake up and wash myself. Drying my fur with air I think about last night. How we found Lenna alone in Philip's office and what she told us. Archmage. This has to be serious. I begin to worry about Lenna again, then think back once more.
Suddenly I can see only one moment. Lenna saying "thank you" and then kissing me. I hear my voice from some time ago: "friends do that, right?" Is it still friendship...? The guest of wind I'm projecting knocks off a vase that's standing on a small table. I shake my head and clean the vase hoping no-one notices it's missing. I put on my robe.
I'm almost ready, just one last thing. "I wonder if they still have these?" I say to myself as I look at the table in the middle of the room. Yes, they do. I pick up a small stone and focus on it, hoping I can make a special order. The food appears on my table and it should appear on my friends' tables too. I start eating.
-
Kirion is concentrating on his mental exercise, until a sound from the table distracts him and the shape between his hands shimmers and begins to fade. He huffs slighty, "No, no!" but the shape has gone and he lets out a sigh.
He looks over where the noise came from to see the table now loaded with a rather large breakfast.
"Oh! They must know I love my food then!"
He quickly blinks to his table and helps himself.
-
Kixi was already up and exercising by the time breakfast arrived. As she ate, she contemplated herself in the mirror. Heh... they probably wouldn't believe me if I told them I exercise every morning, she thought, chewing on a piece of toast as she stared at her slight gut.
-
Kirion finishes his food fairly quickly, with a small sigh of disappointment that there wasn't more. He heads to the door and pushes it open to poke his head out. He looks around at the rooms of all his companions to see the doors all still firmly closed.
He steps out into the hall and sits by a wall to wait for everyone else, quickly becoming lost in thought.
-
Kixi showered and pulled on some underwear, then looked through her suitcase to pick out an outfit for the day. After a short while, she stepped into the hallway, dressed in a pair of camouflage shorts, a pair of black combat boots, and a punkish t-shirt that just reached the bottom of her ribcage. In addition to this, she had a belt on with a rather long knife strapped to it. I hope this kind of dress is allowed, she thought to herself as she went to find the others.
-
After finishing the breakfast I get out to the corridor too, seeing Kixi and Kirion I greet them
"good morning, had a good sleep I hope? Beds are very comfy here. We should wait for Lenna and go to Philips office to ask about what is going on.
-
Kixi nodded and stretched a little. "Sounds good," she said. "Hey, it's okay for me to be walking around like this, right?" The crat motioned to her clothes. "I've no idea if you've got a rule against... ya know. Showing fur." She grinned and poked her bare side.
-
"I don't think there are too many rules about it in general. Depends on what you prefer. We aren't going on a battle though, you know."
-
Kirion looks up from his thoughts and waves the HellEye and Kixi.
"Yes, the bed was wonderful - When I finally fell into it" he giggles softly. "And no battle? W-Well that'd be a relief"
-
Kixi nodded. "I know," she said. "But... well, I can never lose this thing, and I'd also really prefer it not to go into the pocket dimension it's stored in when I don't have a sheath."
-
Kirion looks around at his companions and notices one missing.
"Should we knock for Lenna?" he asks the group.
-
"sure, she should be up already, maybe she doesn't know we're waiting." I agree
(I want to continue this story too, no reason to push it tho. When ViVi is around she'll write for sure.)
-
(I am really sorry I disappeared again. :( Are people ready to start?)
-
(I'm here and always ready! ;) )
-
(What about HE?)
-
(Hmm, not sure, he's an hour ahead of me time-wise, which would make it midnight for him, and he has school later, so not sure if he'll be around much longer if at all - already says he's offline :( )
-
(Well I'll be on tomorrow so we just have to wait one more day.)
-
(I look forward to it ^_^ )
-
(could stay half an hour or so, maybe longer. Sleep is for the weak. Dunno about Kixi... )
-
(Lets just go a little bit further.)
Lenna finally comes out finally after making sure she was ready.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting. I had an annoying hair that wouldn't stay down."
-
Kixi chuckled. "Ain't that the truth," she said, grinning widely.
(BOO.)
-
Kirion picks himself up from sitting against the wall and scratches behind one his feelers.
"So where are we going first?"
-
"I think we should find Philip, ask him what he knows. He should be in the office."
A floating disc approaches, I step on it.
-
"Of course"
Kirion takes a deep breath to calm himself and steps on the platform with HellEye.
-
Lenna steps on it as well and a feeling of dread starts to enter mind.
-
Kixi, in turn, stepped on it, her stomach tightening with apprehension.
-
He rolls his eyes and gives a soft sigh.
"That was the easy part" he tells himself, bracing for the platform to move.
-
The disk starts to move along the corridor towards the sixth floor, to Philip's office. As we arrive there, there's a note on the door, saying
"hall of the elements"
"I guess he has a meeting or something" I say. "should we go there? Maybe they want to show us something..."
Without waiting for a response the disc starts floating towards the higher floors.
-
"H-Higher?" Kirion says shakily before taking some more deep breaths.
-
Lenna gets caught off guard and almost falls, but grabs hold of HE to steady herself.
-
"you'll like it there though. They have a fancy place here. Been there a couple of times, it is usually reserved for meetings of the Circle." I stagger a little when I'm pulled by Lenna.
The disk stops in front of the only doors on this floor. At least 12 feet tall wings are decorated with different ornaments and the symbols of six elements, fire, water, earth, air, storm and light.
"let's see what do they want" I get to the door and pull them but nothing happens. I scratch my head and then push them, they open revealing a big hall, lit up by countless small magic lights.
-
As Lenna enters, she feels her power weaken due to the amount of light spells. However considering that her powers normally hurt it feels really relaxing.
-
Following behind HellEye, Kirion looks over the ornaments. He looks over the ornament meant for light, and catches a quick look at the symbol of light.
"Hm, I've seen that one before. Back home..."
-
"it's a symbol of light." I explain and notice a group of about eight mages in the middle of the hall, looking toward us. I start walking in that direction.
(as much as I'd love to do one or two posts whatever happens here will most likely take more than that, so I dunno if we should be going further with this today. I'll be going to sleep in 10 minutes probably, and this is a good point to break, right before a talk.)
-
Kixi looked at all the different symbols. "They've got one for each here, don't they?" she said, gaping a little bit.
-
(Aww, such a tease :3 . But I'm okay with breaking for now. :) )
-
"technically, there isn't one for the Darkness. It might be an element from the side of magic but you shouldn't mess with it"
( okay, sleepy time I guess, Darkness is all around me, have to surrender to it :P)
-
(how many people are online?)
-
(dunno what about Kixi, rest is on)
-
(Lets wait a little and see if Cifero comes on. About 30 minutes.)
-
(I'm here! *wave*)
-
(Alright i guess we can start, if Cif shows up she can jump in but for now she can be in the background.)
I follow HE as we approach the mages, however even with all the light spells, my birth mark seems to be acting up slightly. I don't know why but try to ignore it as activating my power her would be bad.
-
Kirion swiftly follows behind everyone else, his large ears standing and listening intently to every sound in the room.
-
"Well met Archmage. I'm thankful you use your time to help us." I bow to him with respect
"Thank you, but the matter is more pressing than you think. Your friend" points at Lenna "is in a great danger, and so is everyone near her. From Philips description I can only know so much, but I believe she is marked by the Darkness. Not many individuals have survived for long, most of these that did helped the Darkness. There is still hope however. Now, may I see it child?" the Archmage asks Lenna.
-
Kirion's 'feelers' give him another slight tingling sensation, but he does his best to ignore it. He tilts his head, interested in the current happenings.
-
Lenna blushes and turns around letting her dress slip slightly to show her birthmark. The cracks in the rotten flesh were currently pulsating with black magic like it was reacting to something. Lenna heard a voice in her head as she showed them. Fools...they do not know who they are dealing with.

(i gotta go do something BRB)
-
At the sight of the corruption, Kirion's feelers start to tingle non-stop, forcing him to put a paw up to touch one to try and make it stop.
-
"The mark is imbued deeply within you. It's far beyond the point of removing it." says the Archmage "there is only one way, it uses the most powerful magic in the world however. It can't be created however and is born inside us. We can't choose whether or not we have it... " he notices Kirion's expression "what is it tree spirit?"
-
He shakily responds "M-My feelers - they started tingling as soon as I saw Lenna's mark..." He's stopped by something else "Wait. You know what I am?"
-
"Yes, I do. Tree spirits might be isolated from the world but we had a small role in your history. And we had an interesting treeborn in here a while ago. A Keeper of the Waystone." says the wolf.
"Now, I'd like to introduce you to someone, but he's not here yet... Until he arrives, does anyone of you have any questions, related to the topic or not, I'll try to answer them"
-
Kirion's feelers stop tingling for a while and he quietly says to himself "There were more of us on the outside after all..."
"O-Oh. No other questions from me"
Still scratching one of his feelers.
-
"welcome, Tealius! I was just talking about you!" said the Archmage.
"Please, meet Tealius, only nature mage around. He told me he's interested in the effects of the mark on your body..." he looks at Lenna "reminds me, I never got your names, and you didn't get mine either. I'm Lupius Silvertail, the Archmage of Marquise Dragma's School of Magic."
-
Kirion's ears droop a little and he does a small hand gesture greeting from his home.
"I'm Kirion, sir."
-
(i am really sorry but i got in trouble for today :( . I may or may not be on tomorrow, it really depends though.)
-
(that's bad ViVi... Hope you'll be fine. We won't go far without you anyway so I guess we can't do anything today.)
-
Kixi played with her knife a bit; she seemed to be able to handle it quite well. Hearing the archmage, she quickly sheathed it and bowed. "Kixi Windtail," she said, showing respect. "Pleasure to meet you, Archmage."
-
(I am back...)
"welcome, Tealius! I was just talking about you!" said the Archmage.
"Please, meet Tealius, only nature mage around. He told me he's interested in the effects of the mark on your body..." he looks at Lenna "reminds me, I never got your names, and you didn't get mine either. I'm Lupius Silvertail, the Archmage of Marquise Dragma's School of Magic."
"M-my name is Lenna..." I say very unnerved by that comment. The voice was still in my head and no matter how much I tried to block it out, it was still speaking very clearly.They underestimate us, think we are just an experiment, but we will show them...won't we?"
"...no" I whisper as I start to look visibly scared.
-
(Welcome back ^_^ )
Kirion is keenly examining the grand room they are standing in, looking all around slowly, when his feelers once again tingle. He tries to shake his head to get rid of the feeling.
-
(Is everyone on?)
-
(me and Pegu yes. Glad to see you again :3)
-
(Thank you :) also you should probably post.)
-
(Hai hai! I'm present!)
-
"then, since we have the formal stuff done, can you tell us more about your power?" asks the Archmage. "from what I understand its a mark left by the Darkness, giving you some of its abilities. What can you do? Just please, don't demonstrate it. It getting out of control is pretty common and usually lethal"
-
Kirion scratches behind an ear quickly, and shift his attention back to the gathering around the Archmage after taking in every detail in the room he could.
-
"then, since we have the formal stuff done, can you tell us more about your power?" asks the Archmage. "from what I understand its a mark left by the Darkness, giving you some of its abilities. What can you do? Just please, don't demonstrate it. It getting out of control is pretty common and usually lethal"
"Ok...I can make things come out of the shadows and...." I stop for a moment as my eyes go dark and my expression changes to a wicked grin.
"...and that is only the beginning." I say in a voice that really doesn't sound like me. Suddenly light spell after light spell started to snuff out as darkness overlapped them.
-
Kirion gasps a little and watches as the lights slowly fade. His feelers start giving him the tingling sensation again, but this time stronger than it has ever been.
"Lenna? Lenna stop!"
-
" Noon if you may?" asks the Archmage
A gray cat steps forward and focuses, making all the lights much brighter than before, slowing the darkness.
"She has a Source in the bag" says Philip.
I rush to the bag and pull out the orb, taking it near Lenna's mark to stop the darkness completely, then prepare to catch her if she falls.
-
"I will not be put down so easily!" The voice cries as Lenna 's birthmark tumor hisses and burns. Even with the orb and lights, the tumor burns on Lenna's back for almost 10 minutes as the voice screams insults and curses.
-
"it went away quicker last time..." I say with fear in my voice. "do something Lenna, stop it!"
-
Kirion shudders, the tingling in his feelers bothering him to no end. Then he feels a very slight pain in his hand. He pulls it up and examines it in front of his face. His white sheen fur periodically losing it's luster for a split second before restoring itself, the presence of this creature afflicting even the light that created him.
"U-Ugh..."
-
The voice let's out one last scream before going silent and my eyes start to regain color. I aye there heaving as the experience was horribe
"...HellEye?" I say extremely confused.
-
Kirion's feelers stop giving him the buzzing feeling, and his hand goes back to normal fully.
"W-What was that?"
-
"yes, it's alright, don't worry. You lost control again... Do you remember anything?"
-
"...no. I heard a voice, but I remember nothing after that." I say.
-
"A voice? What did it say?" I ask. The Archmage is listening behind.
-
Shakes his hand a little and lowers it back to his side to listen in, bearing a look of worry.
-
"It said...they are fools, that we will show them...won't we. The voice sounded so familiar, but I don't know why."
-
"so you've heard it before? When? Did it start an... Incident too?" asks Lupius.
-
Kirion speaks up a little.
"We've seen it when it attacks once before, HellEye and I - but it was so different to what happened this time. This time that light didn't work on it very fast."
-
" one explanation would be that it's expanding, getting more power at the cost of Lenna's strength. Other is that it gets energy from the outside, which is not too probable but still possible." the Archmage analyzes the situation. "we will have to study it closer, I'm sure Tealius will be able to say something more after he checks your condition."
(me needs some sleeps... Sorry :3 I hope I'll stay up longer tomorrow!)
-
"Yes that orb was given to me to control my powers, it normally works just fine. However whoever that voice was must have exacerbated my powers."
"I don't remember when I heard the voice...actually I think my uncle told me something. One time when I lost control...he said I should never have been born." I looked extremely upset as I say that.
"...I think the first time I lost control...was when I was born."
(Ok goodnight)
-
(I'll be off too - need to remember that my character needs to ask the archmage about what happened to me just then as well :) )
-
Kirion speaks again, with a distinct tone of worry.
"Just then - it was draining the light out of everything, right? Well, um, what if you were a creature partially born of light?"
He looks to everyone gathered for an answer.
-
"it would mean at best small tickles, at worst it would hurt or even kill you." explains the Archmage. "there might be a way to resist it however. If you could control the light yourself and try keeping it in you. It's not an easy task however."
then he looks at Lenna. " you made a right decision coming here, even if something happens with all the mages around we should keep you and everyone else safe. I promise we'll find a way to cure it"
-
Kirion's worried expression worsens at that news.
"I-I see... During that one my hand started to hurt, and my feelers were giving me a tingling sensation as soon as the darkness came out. So am I in danger?"
-
"you might be..." says the Archmage
"next time it happens I'll try to keep you safe" I promise to Kirion.
-
He looks down, dissapointed.
"The treeborn back home never properly taught me how to protect myself from things like this."
-
" when you have some spare time I can arrange some lessons with one of our teachers, maybe lend you some books about the light magic." offers the Archmage. "I intend to keep you all safe, no matter what it takes"
-
Looks up at the Archmage with a hopeful glimmer in his eyes.
"I...I wasn't born with what I can do. I acquired it by accident. A-And it's hard to focus it to do what I want." Looks down again, ears slightly drooped "I think that's why they never tried" he sighs.
-
"A sorcerer then..." the Archmage stops for a moment and thinks. "can you do anything as of now? Or do you just feel the power and can't control it at all?"
-
His ears perk back up and he nods a little bit.
"I-I think they called me wild-mage back home." he scratches behind an ear "And, I'm able to Blink short distances easy - that's about the only thing I managed to get a hold of well."
He looks over at HellEye, then back to the Archmage. Doing his best to stay brave.
-
"wild mage... Yes, I know what that means. I'll inform a teacher as soon as we finish here. Unless HellEye wants to teach you." he looks at me.
"I don't know if I will be able to, sir. I don't know much about the wild magic."
"there's a lot of books on that topic, I'm sure you can read them fast."
"I'll let Kirion decide. What do you say? I'll be glad to help if you want." I say and wait for Kirion's response.
-
Tilts his head in curiosity.
"Y-You do have books on it..I..uhh..Nevermind" the short spirit clears his throat "Y-Yes, okay."
-
"not in the public part of the library where you were sniffing around" the Archmage smiles "but yes, we have them. The librarian will be informed to find them and give them to HellEye."
"I'll prepare you for the next time it happens. And it will." I look at Lenna, worrying about what will happen to her more than myself then.
-
Recoils slightly at having been caught, before looking down disappointed in himself again.
-
"don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong afterall. If we didn't want anyone to go to the library it would be closed or hidden. Still we have to have some form of security there. There's a simple spell on the door that detects basic information about the creatures that go through it, and you're the only tree spirit around here."
"since when is that spell there?" I ask worried?
"we do know about what you were doing with miss Patricia back then if it's what you're asking about"
"we were just... Studying. That's what the library is for afterall." I say as I blush deeply.
-
Kirion lets out a sigh of relief before speaking once more.
"But if HellEye teaches me... isn't elementalism drawn from a different energy? I remember there were a few elementalists back home as well and they were among the few who spoke to me on magic."
-
"It is, but it's not about me showing you what to do, you have to feel the power yourself. I have theoretical knowledge that will help you. I don't think any teacher around here is a sorcerer of any kind anyway" I explain
"most sorcerers live alone, only few have been in this school for lessons on their powers. I believe HellEye will be a good teacher, and he knows you better than any of us." the Archmage says. "back to the main topic though, who gave you the sphere? It's a powerful and rare artifact, it could bring lots of destruction when in the wrong hands" he asks Lenna.
-
(I see you two are awake, what is going on?)
-
(umm, it's like 3 or 4 pm here, we're always awake in these hours. Michen is on too.)
-
(Its 6:45 here)
Post Merge: April 09, 2016, 01:46:06 PM
(In the morning)
-
( but it's weekend right? We can do something! Yay)
-
For about two hours, have to go to volenteer work and won't be back for another two hours or less.
-
(Anyway what is going on?)
-
(*Happy little claps* Ready when everyone else is!)
-
( what kind of what's going on? Irl or in the RP?)
-
(In the rp, it look like so far I have multiple questions to answer cause you kind of talked to Lenna while I was offline a bunch.)
-
(I just asked who gave you the orb and stuff like that I think, I mostly pushed Kirion's story a bit.)
-
(Oh alright than maybe I misread stuff.)
"The orb...it was a strange umbreon who gave it to me, he even used it on me once when I lost control." I say
-
Kirion says nothing, but now listens attentively to his companions surrounding Lenna. He occasionally scratches behind an ear.
-
"It was when I was still in elementary school. I was in the park when the stranger helped me." I say.
-
"I don't know every book there but we have something about most forms of magic, I think there should be at least one book about it, maybe even more if we're lucky." he answers. "you can go and look for them when HellEye will be retrieving his books about wild magic."
-
"Ok thanks for your help." I say and how politely.
-
"Don't worry about it. My intention is to keep everyone safe. Life is the most valuable thing anyone has, that's why I'm protecting it at all cost. If you will need anything, find me or one of the Guardians. Good luck in your research"
" Thank you, Archmage." I bow to him with respect.
-
Kirion mimics HellEye and does a small bow as well. His ears perked back up and all the worry in his face gone for now.
-
I nod "Yes that is fine, I guess we can talk about in library whenever your ready." I say and start to leave the hall of elements.
"...where is the library?"
-
"it's at the ground floor, I'll show you" I say as I go towards the door. "or Kirion will show you, he knows that too"
Smile
-
Kirion puts one hand behind his head and scratches, one ear drooping, embarrassed again.
"Y-Yeah..."
He follows behind HellEye towards the exit for the room.
-
" You'll have some time to talk with Lenna too Tealius."
(should we assume that Kixi comes with us? Or just forget about her?)
-
(I'd say assume she comes with us - rude to forget about a player)
-
(Yeah Cifero is probably busy with school or something but we can say she is following for now or in her room. We will let her decide when she comes back.)
-
(okay, I hope she joins us soon.)
A disc floats next to the door and stops there. I jump on it and wait for everyone else to join, and then send it to the ground floor of the building.
-
When we are on the ground floor I follow HE to the library hoping whatever I find will help.
-
Kirion sheepishly follows the group, although he is somewhat uplifted by the knowledge he might actually receive some form of tutelage at last.
-
As I open the library doors an old lion appears, greeting us with a wave of his paw.
"welcome to the library, I'm Roland Goldmane, the librarian. I've heard what books you're looking for, I have some prepared here" he shows a pile of books on his desk next to the door.
"thank you sir, we'll get to reading right away" I look through the books and pick up some of them that seem to have something to do with wild magic. There are two of them left, "on black magic" and "the seventh element".
-
I begin to read the books thoroughly not wanting to miss a single detail. A lot of what the books talk about is how shadow magic work a and while there are plenty of evil wizards that practice it, it turns out the strongest servants of the Darkness are those who have "blessed" by the Darkness itself. Most of these servants are sorcerers who don't live ong as either they lose control of their powers or are slain by a hero of light.
However there is a legend that comes up in one of the books called "The Demi-gods of the Darkness". The legend tells of two twin brothers who had been visited by the Darkness while they were still in their mothers womb. The twins were the sons of a powerful light wizard who had long been fighting off the spawns of Darkness in her home village and the Darkness found the best way to defeat her, was to go after her unborn children. The children had killed their mother upon birth and we're raised by their father, however they both radiated powerful shadow magic. To keep their powers under control the Father had forged a white orb of pure light magic to absorb their powers whenever they lost control.
The legend cuts out after that as the book was really old and many of the pages after that were indecipherable.
-
Kirion is nearby flipping through a book on sorcery concepts, occasionally looking up to see what's going on around him.
-
While Lenna reads about the Darkness I look through the wild magic books, learning everything I can to help Kirion stay safe when another accident occurs. After reading one book and quickly scanning through two others I look up: "okay, I know some stuff now, have you learned anything?"
(I love that story)
-
The book on sorcerers described them as natural caster who rarely needed to practice in order to learn magic. Their were multiple types of sorcerers that went beyond even the seven elements of magic as there magic was based on their heritage. They could be gaining powers because they are related to a powerful Dragon, a master of undead like a Lich or vampire or multiple other reasons. Sorcerers could show their powers at any point in their life time and is normally triggered by some sort of event.
(That was to explain what Kirin was reading.)
"There seems to be a legend about two brothers who gained their shadow powers before they were even born because they were visited by the Darkness. Even mentions my orb but this book could be better kept." I say.
-
"so your orb isn't a source... Or it is one, but not forged by nature. It's interesting. I'll ask Roland if he has something more on that topic, maybe he missed it looking for books about Darkness and not light.
Since Kirion mentioned they called him a wild mage I looked around the books for that term. It says a wild sorcerer isn't always as fluelent in magic, since he didn't get it through a heritage but rather literary absorbed it from the environment. That means you must've been in some kind of a place of power occupied by a magical being that pushed the magic into you. I'll read more during the night, this is the most I could find for now"
-
Kirion speaks up after hearing HellEye talk about where it's obtained.
"I know where I got it... I was stupid. It could have killed me" he sighs before he continues "I touched a Ley Line."
He takes another breath, thinking back to the day.
-
"what's a Ley Line?" I ask confused.
-
Kirion looks up surprised.
"After all the knowledge stored away in this college, I would have thought you'd know." he thinks for a moment "A ley line is like a flowing river of pure arcane energy. The scribes back home told me that they criss-cross the whole world."
He scratches behind an ear a little before continuing.
"They're usually so deep below the ground it would take a great effort to dig to one. But..." he stops, but knows he's in good company "The Great Tree from which my species come from... it's roots tap into a ley line that has come up from the depths."
He stammers a little near the end.
"B-But yes, I ended up touching it in a cavern below the Tree"
-
(I am surprised you guys know what those are o-o)
-
"I really didn't hear of that. I wasn't really listening too much on the theoretical lessons... Don't tell anyone here though" I give a big smile and continue " it makes a lot of sense now. That amount of power flowing through one place could easily enter you. You'd be like a dry sponge dropped into the river."
(I didn't o.O)
-
(Ley lines have been in other stuff, I adapted them to suit my species. Hope that's not a problem :P )
-
(Its fine because it is really close to what I was going to say...with the addition of a tree.)
-
"I'll get some books from Roland then!" I say as I get up and go towards the entrance and his desk, talk with him for some time, wait around for a bit and then come back with two books.
"this one should have a bunch of stuff about these Ley Lines. And this one supposedly has some information about the light mage that created the orb" I give the Ley line book to Kirion, the light mage one to Lenna and start thinking who should I join.
-
"Alright let's get reading." I say and start to flip through the book.
(I am in so many rps where I keep having to make long posts...I need a short break.)
-
Kirion flips through the book, eagerly taking in what he can. He cannot find any records of beings ever touching a Ley line however, and lets out a disappointed sigh.
"Well it does have some interesting theories, but it doesn't have any examples of a Ley line being touched." he tilts his head "Wait... It does mention here in a footnote that if ever presented with a Ley line, it would be unwise to touch it, as the stream is itself is potentially highly volatile."
He rolls his eyes a little at the note and says under his breath to himself "No kidding there..."
-
(okay, it's been pretty slow until now anyway, I'm used to no responses.)
"should've read a book on the theory of magic before you went caving."
-
"I didn't do it on purpose!" he tries to defend himself.
-
My eyes start to droop as we had been in there for quite some time. I start to doze off right on top of my book.
-
"Of course you didn't. But according to this book you are as lucky as Lenna to be still alive. Anyway, we should go for some rest I feel like... We've been reading for a long time now." I say and blink a couple of times to clean my tired eyes.
-
Kirion shakes his head a little to keep sleep away.
"I-If I may - I'd like to take a book or two back to my room..."
-
"it shouldn't be a problem I think. We'll ask on the way. I have two books to read too." I say as I pick up the books and head towards the exit.
(*doesnt care and falls asleep on the floor* lol. Really tired here, hope we can get to the rooms tomorrow :P)
-
(Ok see you tomorrow.)
-
(Ok that is fine. I am going to bed and I hope the rp boards are more active tomorrow.)
-
(Oh well that's funny. Anyway are people online.)
-
(who is that people thing XD me and Pegu are on, dunno about the rest, Michen was here not that long ago tho.)
-
(Alright than I guess we can start.)
-
(so do we start in the morning or do you want to do stuff during the night?)
-
(Probably morning)
Lenna woke up next morning feeling awful tired after having spent most of the night reading her books. Unfortunately she wasn't expecting to stay this long so her current clothes were pretty dirty and she felt like she needed a shower. She exits her room wearing her night gown tries to guess where people take a bath in this place.
-
Kirion awakes, with a painful crick in his back, having slumped over at the desk in his room, over a large book. He quickly shakes it off and checks the page he was reading before he dozed off.
-
After reading for most of the night I wake up a bit tired but full of knowledge and go to the bathroom that is clearly inside of the rooms we were given and take a quick shower.
-
I go back in my room and notice the bathroom door I was too tired to see. I go and take a shower as well and try to figure out what to do for clothes.
-
After reading a few more pages with wide, bright-eyed enthusiasm he blinks to his knapsack and rummages through it for his small Whitewood staff. He gets it out and kneels down on the floor with it lying in front of him.
"Okay, this one should be easy..."
He focuses his hands over the staff, letting the magic flow through him freely. It causes him to strain a little.
"Come ooon"
The Whitewood staff slowly but surely seems to evaporate before his eyes, and yet he was not concerned. Upon it disappearing completely, he takes a small breath.
"Okay... Now in reverse."
He stands and hold his hand to his side and concentrates as best his untrained mind will allow. The staff begins to re-materialize between his finger. Upon completion he quickly takes hold of it and checks it over, astounded he was able to handle this trick alone.
"Beats carrying it everywhere!"
-
After the shower I put my robe on and get some fancy magical breakfast for everyone, then start eating mine.
-
I come out of my room still wearing my night gown as it was the only clothes I had. I sit down next to HE and start eating as well.
-
(I don't want to break everything and stuff, but we get breakfast into our rooms like the last time... Whatever)
Good morning Lenna! Didn't sleep well? Same as me...
-
Kirion hears the soft sound he was waiting for. Signalling food time! He rushes to his little table to eat his fill. His rather large fill.
-
"Yeah...where can I get clothes?" I ask as I didn't want to walk around in my pajamas.
-
"I believe there are robes in the closets, I don't think there's anything else though."
I point at one of the closets around "feel free to try them and see if they fit. You can go into the bathroom"
-
Kirion finishes eating and wanders out into the halls again to see if his companions are awake. Forgoing clothing as he usually does.
-
"Ugh I saw those...they just aren't colorful enough but I suppose they will work." I take a robe and go into the bathroom.
-
"colorful, why does it matter... Ehh women... And they have plenty of colors, depending on your rank in the school." I continue eating breakfast and notice Kirion, so I wave for him to join
-
I come out of the bathroom wearing he robe and wave to Kirin as well.
-
Kirion, seeing HellEye flagging for him, comes over.
"Morning! I ate already."
He takes a seat and gives one of his usual sweet little smile.
-
"Okay, so what's the plan for today? Should we sniff around the books some more or ask around?" I ask while finishing.
-
"I'll follow for anything!" the little spirit chirps "I'm just happy I'll finally be receiving some form of instruction soon."
-
"I actually read the book he gave me and I managed to figure out how I got my powers and also where the orb comes from." I pick up the book I had read last night and flip open to a marked page. It was the about the legend from earlier but what really had caught my eye was the drawing of the two brothers. One was an umbreon and the other was a Espeon.
"This is really hard to understand...but I think I am related to these two. They both even have the last name Garrison which is my last name too."
-
"it's possible, that would explain why you're in possession of such powerful artifact. Too much coincidence to ignore it..." I say and look at the picture in the book
-
Kirion, although he has eaten already, can't help himself but take another bit of food from the table, quietly nibbling it whilst Lenna and HellEye talk.
-
I look up at kirion as he eats a biscuit I was about to grab.
"Hey, I wanted that biscuit."
-
Snaps back to reality from his wandering thoughts. Looks at Lenna.
"O-Oh. Um. Sorry. I wasn't quite with it there. Guess I eat when I'm thinking!"
-
"okay then, so what do we know? The mark is left by Darkness, gives you these powers and slowly kills you. And you might be related to the first bearers of the mark who didn't die from it. Which in my opinion gives you a head start in survival chance. The only thing left to find out is how did they learn to control the power." I think out loud
-
"I wish I could be of more help here" the young spirit sighs.
-
(ehh, kinda slow here today, no inspiration. And Pegu went to sleep anyway, so do I in a couple of minutes. Maybe tomorrow will be better for this stuff)
-
(.... I don't have time to read what's happened, so just fill Kixi in as we go.)
Kixi walked up and took a seat at the table, scratching her midriff. "Morning," she said, taking some food and starting to eat. She did not seem to eat more than the normal person, which could be seen as strange considering her weight. "So... what's going on again? I wasn't exactly paying attention yesterday."
-
(Hey are is everyone on?:
-
(me and Pegu always ready
Michen might be around. Cifero most likely not, I hope yes tho.)
-
(I am going to give Cif 30 minutes. We can start after that.)
-
(okay Would be fun to have her around finally.)
-
(I am here, but I might be a little slow on replies. In LoL again.)
-
(I said you should be around soon, jumped on right on time, half an hour went by.)
-
(I am back anyway lets start.)
-
"In the books did you find anything about how did the brothers learn to control their powers? We know the orb supresses them, but I guess they weren't using it the entire life" I ask Lenna.
-
(Its fine.)
"...hold on Kirion you are plenty of help." I say feeling bad for you. It did feel like you had been slightly ignored.
-
(so I guess Kirion is MIA...)
"yes, I'm sure your help will prove invaluable countless times Kirion."
-
(Sorry - hard to type mid game, but it's over now)
His ears flicker at the reassuring comments, and his little smile quickly reforms as he works his way into another cookie - this time checking to make sure nobody else is reaching for it.
-
Lenna smiles for a moment but that fades as she gets back on topic.
"Apparently the brothers had to go through a metamorphosis in order to control their powers...but one of them went insane after it."
-
"we don't want that happening to you... Any information about the metamorphosis anywhere? Any detail might help" I ask and wait for the response, thinking about our next step.
-
I see Taelius knocking at my door and wave to him.
"We are over here Taelius." I say and turn to HE.
"Apparently darkness had surrounded both of them and slowly changed their bodies. The umbreon was saved though by his wife who had talked him through the whole thing, keeping his consciousness from falling into the Darkness. The espeon had no such luck."
-
Kirion's ears remain perked up listening to the conversation, but he has also brought one of the smaller books he borrowed and is quietly reading it to himself.
-
I wave to Tealius and continue
"It's something. We know that the Darkness will try to make you insane and that we'll all have to be there and try to keep your mind away from it. At least we know what we're fighting."
(rip rp again. Good night!)
"help yourself Tealius"
-
"I-I've seen the dark consume other Treeborn before - but those cases were never lifelong marks" he shrinks back a bit "At least I hope not..."
-
(Alright goodnight.)
"Yeah...but this is way different." I say and before handing over the book I show everyone a picture of the brothers after the metamorphosis. Their bodies were entirely made of shadow with red glowing eyes.
-
"I'm not an expert on treeborn but I'd guess from what you said earlier that your kind is made from light itself. It can be corrupted much easily, normal body resists it to some degree" I answer to Kirion and look at the picture
"I don't know what to say. I expected much smaller changes. I guess the word metamorphosis fits even better now. Any ideas on how to save you from that?"
-
Kirion takes a look at the picture, his feelers give him a slight tingle at the mere sight of it. HellEye's words cause him to think back, trying to remember something he heard long ago, back home.
He recounts a quote "Light and Dark are always in a perpetual struggle, and yet always in balance. It can corrupt us as much as we can banish it." he sigh gently "Something some of us were always taught back home..." he says with a small giggle.
-
"...no." I say looking bummed.
"This is supposed to happen on my 18th birthday, I think the reason the changes are so drastic is because of the fact that I have such a large concentration of the magic in me."
-
"I don't want to sound ignorant but I guess I have to... When exactly is that? I mean, your birthday."
-
I look at the a nearby calendar to see what the date is.
"...my God it's today." I say as I had never really paid attention to her birthday before. People were generally too scared to celebrate it but now I was scared that it was today.
"I will change at midnight."
-
"well... In that case... Happy birthday! And we're screwed if we don't find out anything important soon." I try to keep some good feelings so no-one gives up, but I'm really stressed.
-
"Couldn't we just... Find a larger source of light energy than we have?" he tries to assert himself "You have me, but I'm only a small one. Any ideas on something big? Something that could balance it at the very least."
-
"the school should have a lot of Sources, some of them are light for sure. I don't think it's a good idea though, if the darkness wins and corrupts them all the world won't last long"
-
I have a panicked look on my face.
"What is going to happen? What if I hurt you guys, I can't I just can't..." I take hold of Kirion and hug him because he is small enough to feel like a stuffed animal.
-
Kirion's eyes widen at his rather sudden predicament, but gives Lenna some reassuring pats.
"It's said my kind were meant to stop or at least slow the darkness down - but we lost our way, gave in to cowardice and hid ourselves away..." his eyes harden with some measure of resolve "If that myth is even slightly true I'll give what light I can to help - I won't hide this time!"
-
"we shouldn't waste any more time then. I'll contact the Archmage, ask for advice. You should look for a place out of the way in case anything goes wrong. It'll be alright though, I'm sure." I stand up and prepare to leave in the direction of archmages quarters.
-
"Oh thank you Kirion!" I say and start to hug even tighter. I carry Kirion with me to my room but the voice from yesterday whispers to me. They may be able to save your mind...but body belongs to me.
-
"Take care of her Kirion." I say as I jump on a disc and float towards the Archmage's quarters.
-
He lets out a slight squeak at the tightened grip, his breathing becomes slightly laboured.
"G-Glad...To help.. but uh... could you loosen the hug!" he says with a slight chuckle, before his feelers give him another slight tingle. He decides not to bring it up though.
"Will do!" he calls back to HellEye
-
(I unfortunately have to get off. I got work that needs to get done.)
"Oh...sorry." I loosen my grip and open the door to my room. Unbeknownst to every one was that my birthmark was growing, the rotten flesh starting to engulf my body but this was hidden under my robes.
-
(yeah I'll go soon too. See you tomorrow or something :3)
-
(Aww - sorry I was away for so long earlier X3 )
-
(Just a little add in that will become relevant next time we start up.)
Jacob Soulosis, a mage who was coming back to the college after having run a few errands around the city. Jacob was on the final stretch when he heard a whisper coming from the shadows.
"I am sorry...for what I am about to do." He turned quickly towards the whisper trying to get a spell ready but multiple black tentacles wrapped around to keep him from casting. The tenctacles quickly engulfed his entire body, one covering Jacob's mouth so he couldn't scream.
"I can feel your fear...but please relax. I simply need to borrow your body." Jacob heard from the whispers as he saw a man made entirely out of shadow, who looked vaguely like the silhouette of an umbreon, rise from the darkness.
"I need it so I can see her...so I can see my daughter before she turns.""
-
Kixi, who still had no clue what was going on since she was ignored at breakfast, cocked an ear, sensing something. "...Hrm," she murmured, loosening her knife in its sheath.
(...Seriously. What's going on.)
-
(Cifero I will explain over PM.)
-
(I'm sorry you feel that way Michen. I wish I can give some advice but unfortunately I don't know your character. :()
-
(yeah, too bad it didn't work out... Cifero/kixi doesn't do much too which is unfortunate... Time zones... Bad.)
-
(Yeah...school for me doesn't help either or I would be on earlier. However it's your decision.)
-
"I thank you for at least trying...I appreciate that." I say and go into my room.
-
"thank you Tealius. We will be fine I'm sure. Stay safe on your travels." I say and wave to the owl
-
Lenna was on her bed in her room with kirion and looked extremely scared.
"...kirion...what do you think will happen?"
-
Kirion tilts his head and scratches behind one of his ears.
"Nothing. I'm sure you'll be fine. These mages seem resourceful and smart - I mean, just look how many books they actually had covering these things!"
-
"Yeah I guess..." I say but start to feel weird. I don't notice this but my face looks like it is starting to get older by the minute.
"...kirion...I feel, exhausted." I say and fall backwards.
-
"L-Lenna?"
Kirion blinks behind Lenna and uses what strength he has to stop her from falling all the way.
"Lenna? Talk to me... You...Your face..." his ears droop and his feelers begin to tingle once more.
-
"I...I can't...move." I say and by this point I look like I look like I could be your great grandmother I was so old. My pulse feels like it is slowing down rapidly as my body starts shutting down from age.
-
"L-Lenna?!" not letting her fall, but he is shaking, panic clear in his voice.
-
Soon all you could feel coming from my body was the frigid coldness of death. My heart had stopped as did everything else keeping me alive. However my body still looked like it was still aging, but this time with decay.
-
Hearing some noises I get up from the table and walk to Lenna's room.
"oh no... What's happening? Lenna!"
-
(Wait, weren't you heading to get the Archmage already? o.O )
Kirion slowly backs away from Lenna in horror, his hands covering his mouth from the shock of it.
-
(were I..? Stoopid one day break... I guess I heard the noise and turned around?)
Seeing what's happening I start running as fast as I can towards Archmage's quarters, wanting to bring him here as soon as possible.
-
For a moment there is only silence...but than you hear my voice whisper in your head.
"...kirion? Kirion What happened?"
Jacob, or at least what appeared to be Jacob had come up from the magic elevator.
-
His feelers are now tingling heavily, non-stop. One of his big ears flickers at the voice though.
"L-Lenna? Are you still there?"
-
"Yes I'm here...but everything is so cold. I can't move, I can't see...am I dead?" I whisper in horror. It becomes apparent that my soul is still attached to my dead, decaying body.
Post Merge: April 14, 2016, 10:19:51 PM
There is also a knock the door.
-
"I-Is there anything I can do?! H-Help me help you! Please!" desperate and shaking, he barely notices the knock at the door, but he quickly nudges it door open a tiny bit. He doesn't recognize who he sees.
"W-Who're you?"
-
"...hello...I am here to see my daughter." Jacob says and walks past Kirion.
"Hello? Who there?" I whisper as I hear someone enter the room. Jacob sits next to my corpse and opens my eye so I can now see.
"...who are you?" I ask and Jacob give me a hug.
"Lenna...I know you may not recognize me...but I am Markaus Garrison...your father." He says.
"...that name...your the Umbreon from the legend!" I exclaim my whisper getting louder.
-
Kirion steps back, still shaking somewhat.
"Wait, if he's the Umbreon... why doesn't he look like one? Why is he wearing college robes?" Kirion points out.
-
"...it was the only way to get past the college defences." He says and Jacob slumps over on the bed unconscious as an umbrella made entirely out of shadow comes out of his body.
"...please do no be frightened. The mages of light would have attacked me on sight if I even came close to this place...so I had to borrow one of their bodies." He says his voice now whispering in our heads.
"...you sure picked a hell of a time to show up...dad." I say kind of angry.
(Sorry I am about to get on a long bus ride...with no Wi-Fi.)
-
Kirion's feelers buzzing so much they start to give him a growing headache, causing him to put his hands to his head.
"U-Ugh..."
(Heading to bed - Hope to continue this over Friday and the weekend everyone! :) )
-
(Alright goodnight.)
-
Kixi suddenly ran into the room, stopping short as she saw Jacob and deciding to keep quiet and a bit out of sight for now.
-
(Hey just to let everyone know, I will be offline for the rest of the day and tomorrow in about less than an hour. I am going to my mom's soon and unfortunately she has no WiFi.)
-
(Aww - Alright then. Have a good time whilst there!)
-
I have 30 minutes. If you want we can advance the plot a little.)
-
(I guess so, I have no idea what to do with the Archmage when he comes tho :P)
-
(He will probably be completely surprised by the fact that Markaus is there and the situation that is going on with Lenna's body.)
-
(that I can imagine. Will see what happens.)
I run in through the door with fear in my face, panting. "I'm back, the Archmage will be here in... Who's this?" I ask looking at the newcomer.
-
The pain from Kirion's headache intensifies to the point it causes him to sink to his knees, still holding his head. He tries all he can to shake it off.
"U-Urgh... W-Why...is this hurting me..."
-
"fight it, young one, keep your light inside" the Archmage walks into the room. He looks at both Kirion and Lenna, thinking what to do. He decides it will be much faster to help Kirion, so he raises his paw and keeps the light inside the spirit. "you have to do this yourself, I need all my power to help Lenna."
-
HE hears my voice in his head. "He is my "dad"." I say and if I could I would be glaring at Markaus.
"Lenna I..." Markaus start but I cut him off.
"Of all the times you could have showed up, you choose now! All my life I wanted some form of family and the whole time it was just me and my sister! What, were you too scared to show your self to me? Thought I would be too scared to accept you? Answer!" My whispers sounded more like screams and Markaus had no idea how to take it.
-
His feelers still buzzing, but strengthened by the archmage, he is able to stand back up. Suddenly he seems to be acting on instinct, ears perked and eyes closed, a faint purple haze gathers around him - shielding him from the presence of the dark energies in the room.
"I-I know you don't mean to... Both of you..." he looks at what is currently left of Lenna and at the newcomer.
-
Archmage lowers his paw, stopping his spell. "well done, you will be a great sorcerer with some training" he then snaps to reality and looks at Lenna again, comes closer and notices a dark aura around the newcomer, so easy to see usually, yet masked this time.
"who are you? How dare you breach these walls darkspawn!!" he gets ready to fight
-
(I gotta go, I will be back on Sunday.)
-
(the cliffhanger though! Have fun over there! We'll be waiting!)
-
Kixi suddenly draws her knife and steps between Markaus and the Archmage. "Settle down," she said. "NOW."
-
(Hey who is on?)
-
(me be on, Pegu is playing I think, might be joining in a bit when he finishes and sees that we posted)
-
(Ok, hopefully cifero can join too but we will wait and see?)
-
(don't know how long I'll be on today, if we do stuff I'll keep myself awake for a bit longer)
-
(*pokes nose in* I'm here, but I might play another match. Thinking about it)
-
(I am ready if everyone else is.)
-
(I'm around ^_^ You, HE n Cifero post when ready)
-
Markaus glares at the drainage but makes no move, especially with Kixi in the way.
"I am Lenna's father, and I want to help her as much as you all do. You know if your so scared of darkspawn archmage...why did you let one in?" Markaus says gesturing to my body.
I remained silent, not wanting to even speak to Markaus.
-
Kirion remains steadfast to protect himself from the harmful energies permeating the room.
(I think HE has gone to bed)
-
(Alright than I guess not much will go on today.)
Post Merge: April 19, 2016, 07:58:01 PM
(Hey you guys on?)
-
Kixi, strangely enough, seemed unaffected. "See? Calm talking is good," she said. ".... Wait, what?"
-
(Hey is everyone on? Sorry I haven't been on school has been busy.)
-
(I'm on for long today)
-
(Is pegu on?)
-
(I think so, might be playing or something but he'll be on for a while too)
-
(Ok well I have to get ready to head to college in about an hour so hopefully he hurries.)
-
(Didn't see the notification, sorry :S )
-
(and ViVi is gone again... This becomes more and more hard... Stupid timezones... And I'm sleepy too... Maybe tomorrow. Hopefully)
-
(I'm sorry :( If I don't notice next time, try PM'ing me.)
-
(Perhaps. Also, I was sleeping last night.)
-
(Hello sorry I went offline, I had to go up to my college.)
-
(I won't pass out like I did last time today hopefully. Maybe we'll get somewhere :D Pegu's on, Cifero most likely is not...)
-
(Yeah, I will shoot pegu a pm.)
-
(I'm here!)
-
(Alright than let's start. I think it's HE's turn.)
-
The Archmage breathes deeply and lowers his paws "if you trurly want to help her then tell us what to do. I will still have to ask you to leave after Lenna is safe however. Now, what do you need?"
-
"First off...get the light creature out of here. He will probably die or have something worse happen should he stay." Markaus says referring to kirion.
-
"he's right" I say "come Kirion, you'll have to wait outside. I'll get you to a safe spot and come back. When everything's finished you'll be informed" I put my paw out to Kirion, offering to take him away.
-
Kirion gives a soft nod
"O-Okay" his voice already begin to faulter with fatigue from protecting himself with his instinctive sorcery.
(That's actually helpful, just gonna have a quick shower! Be right back quick as I can - Promise!)
-
As I walk out with Kirion I take a last look at Lenna. "I'll be back soon, you're going to be alright" I whisper to myself and leave the room, going to a far away part of the school with Kirion.
"now that he's safe, what's next?" asks the Archmage.
-
"Her body will change in at midnight, once her body has become nothing more than bone. There is no stopping the transformation,we just have to keep the darkness from reaching her mind."
-
"how can we do that? Talking to her?" asks the wolf, worried that there's no way to save Lenna now.
-
Kirion, outside the room, is pacing up and down with an air of impatience around him. His thoughts however are ones of self pity again.
He stops pacing and sit to scratch behind an ear.
"Argh! I promised I'd help her...But I can't even be in the room!"
-
"Someone she trusts is going to have to enter her mind. It won't be without danger though, my hope was I would be able to protect her...but it seems I am a little late to earn her trust." Markaus looks at my body which was only had a rotten head attached at this point, everything else was bone.
"I was hoping one of her friend could do it..."
-
"it's very dangerous to merge two minds... I hope you know what you're talking about..." the Archmage gets up and starts walking to the door
"you'll help her with recovery. She needs you for it..." I say as I hug Kirion. The doors to the room open. "come HellEye. You have to do something" says the Archmage. I look at Kirion and get up, walking with the Archmage.
"what do I do?" I ask Markaus when I'm in the room.
-
Kirion sighs and leans against the wall outside. Still lost in thoughts of self-pity, ears drooped and looking down at the ground as he is left alone in the hall.
-
"You will enter lenna's mind help pull her out of the Darkness. It won't be easy, as right the darkness will try everything in its power to keep you from her. So be very careful, especially since in the mindscape anything can happen." Markaus gestures you forward and places a hand on my forehead.
"Take my hand." He says.
-
"Alright... let's get this show on the road," Kixi said, reaching out as well. "I'm not letting you go in there alone, Helleye."
-
(I think they are offline. Maybe tomorrow.)
-
(Oh. Alright.)
-
(Need to think of a way for Kirion to get in - this feels like the main adventure point :o )
-
(Oh your back, well...maybe you could have a protective bubble or something)
-
(May borrow something from my short story so I can come back in when we continue :P )
-
(Okay then. :P)
-
(Sorry I have been gone. I have had a lot of work.)
-
(Welcome back!)
-
(Hey is anyone on?)
-
(I'm on for up to an hour... Have final exams tomorrow... Pegu should be on too, if he's not playing games)
-
(I will shoot him a pm.)
-
(I should be on now, if everyone else is.)
-
(Hey is everyone on?)
-
(me yes, Kirion is sleepy but on. Maybe we can finish it finally or progress at least. I'll poke him on skype)
-
(Hopefully Cifero comes on. I would hate to leave someone out.)
-
(yeah... It's really hard to have all four of us on at the same time now... Peg asked to poke him when we start, so he'll join if we do.)
-
(I am going to wait a little bit, mostly to give Cifero some time.
Post Merge: May 07, 2016, 09:32:18 PM
(Alright I am ready to start. Tell pegu.)
-
(okay. On it. Sorry, don't see the post merges...)
-
(It's alright I think it is your turn by the way.)
-
*slightly scared I take Markaus' hand, bracing myself for the spell*
-
(By the way what are we going to do about kirion.)
-
Kirion, pacing outside, finally decides he can't just sit this one out - He promised to help, he must help somehow! He is a spirit of light! His ancestors fought against darkness in the old times, so he had to try.
In that moment his eyes glowed as he drew upon his powers - as instinctive as he became when the archmage lended him strength. Glowing purple runes surround him as his eyes begin to glow. They form a circle around his paws before the spell releases itself and his fur begins to shimmer with refracting light. He is stunned by himself.
"A-A lightward..." [size=78%]
[/size]Wasting no time he burst back into the room, shielded by the lightward.
-
"Kirion! You did it! Can he help too?" I ask Markaus.
-
"Yes he may." Markaus puts a hand on Kixi as well (in case Cifero shows up) and you all fall unconscious as the spell releases and your minds transfer to Lenna's.
You all wake up in a field of flowers that looked like at some point it might have beautiful, however now all the flowers are dying and the sky above is black with a spiralling cloud centered on your position.
-
Kirion looks up and all around at the strange landscape. He is quite taken back by the surroundings.
"Woah"
-
"hey, are you both okay? A beautiful place it is... Or was..." I look around for anythibg that might be a goal of our visit here
-
Kirion scratches behind an ear.
"Do we know what it is we're looking for?"
-
In the center of the field a glowing orb could be seen with multiple different images moving across it's surface. Sitting in front of it are two very young sylveon who seemwd to be crying, one with black fur one with creamy white.
-
"I'm guessing that thing..." points at the orb and starts walking towards it.
-
Kirion gets a head start and blinks to the duo and looks over the images, and then them.
"Hello?"
-
The black furred sylveon twitched its ear as it heard you guys coming. It turned around and looked very angry.
"Intruders!" He said and both he and the white furred sylveon stood up.
-
Catches up to Pegu, looking at the figures
"we're not intruders. We're friends. We were sent here to help fight off the darkness." I raise my paws to show I'm unarmed and mean no harm.
-
Kirion raises his paws as well.
"H-Hey now... I'm a friend. I promise."
-
"No you are liars!" The black one and was about to attack till he white one put a hand in front of him.
"Now Len, let's at least give them a chance. We need all the help we can get." She said and Len countered
"Na! We can't trust just anyone who comes in here! The last people almost killed us." The two start arguing and it is clear Len is very angry and aggressive while Na is very calm an eager.
-
"umm... I'm sorry... But we don't have time for that right now... Trust us or not, but we might be the only way to cure Lenna. What can we do?" I ask, hoping to get some attention and stop the quarrel.
-
Tilts his head at the splits of Lenna's personality.
"Curious..."
-
The two look at each other and Len just pouts.
"Fine they can help..." He says and Na bows.
"Sorry about that, we are Lenna's conscious Len and Na. Len is her bad side and I am her good side. If you are really here to help than we should waste no time. The darkness is currently looking threw Lenna's memories to find her core and we are doing our best to jumble them up so he can't find it...but now we don't know where it is."
-
"how can we help then? Should we look for this core? What is it even?" trying to get as much details as possible.
-
Tilt his head as he just about understands.
"S-So we need to look through her memories until we find this core?"
-
"It is the part of Lenna that helps her remember who she is. The darkness wants to destroy it so she will easily succumb to its will. We hid it in one of her memories so that it would be safe...at least for a period short period. We have a guess at where you can find it..." Na starts to trial off and Len buts in.
"But the moment you find it the darkness will be alerted to where you guys are will come rushing in." Len says still rather agitated.
-
"okay" I say, starting to understand "what do we do when we find the core though? Hide it somewhere else? Run away with it?"
-
"Defend it. You won't be able to run or hide as the darkness will pursue you relentlessly, so you have to fight." Len says and Na looked a little concerned.
"We will help as best we can...but you just have to hold it off till midnight." Na says.
-
"I'll do everything I can to protect you. I'm sure Kirion and Kixi will too..." I start looking at the orb, trying to find the core.
-
(Did kirion go offline?)
-
(I have no idea, he was kinda sleepy, guess he passed out XD he's not talking back on Skype too... He'll wake up in half an hour confused most likely)
-
(I'm here)
Kirion bears a worried expression, but if he must fight, so be it.
-
(okay cool. Was worried we won't be able to do more...)
"do you know how we can fight the darkness?"
-
"nope but good luck!" Len says and gets an evil grin and pushes HE into the orb which transports him into a memory.
"Len that wasn't very nice!" Na says and Len just grins.
"What he would have taken to long." Len says as he gets punched in the arm by Na.
"You two better follow." Na says to kirion and Kixi.
HE wakes up in what looks like a little girls room with a few plushies here and there and surprisingly not many toys.
-
Kirion raises his hand in front of him.
"I-I had it in the outside world. Do I have it here?" he questions himself as his eyes glow.
After a short duration his Whitewood staff appears in his paw.
"Ah... Good."
He then jumps in after HellEye, nearly landing on top of him in the memory.
-
I get up from under Pegu. "you okay? Watch the jumps next time..."
"that's some inception stuff" I whisper to myself as I look around the room for anything out of place.
-
There is a pair of giggling noises coming from outside an open window. On the roof was an eevee toddler with a slightly older umbreon who were blowing bubbles into the wind with bubble wands.
-
He gets up and brushes himself off before joining HellEye in looking around. His ears perk towards the window and he looks out at the duo on the roof.
"They won't be able to hear us will they? It is a memory after all."
-
"this place seems... Really creepy for some reason... Yet there's so many children here... Anyway, the core. How does it look like even? And yeah, we can move freely I believe" looks around in the usual hiding places, under the bed, in the closet etc
-
There is nothing out of place and everything you find seems like it belongs to the eevee. The eevee seems to not notice you at all but the umbreon turns around and looks directly at you guys a little freaked out.
-
"umm, peg, do you know how eeveelutions work exactly? What can umbreons do?" I ask a bit frightened by being noticed.
-
"Well hush my mouth... I think he can see us..."
Staring directly back with his wide purple eyes.
-
"...Lenna...can you go ask uncle Daniel for some snacks?" The umbreon says to the eevee.
"Ok sis!" The eevee who turns out to be Lenna gets up and climbs back into the room and out the door. As she does though she walks right through you guys like you weren't even there, which makes the Umbreon even more weirded out.
(The umbreon is female.)
-
"so... Since there's no point in pretending... Hello there. We're... Friends. It's really complicated, so I'd appreciate if I don't have to explain it in depth" I say to the umbreon, curious about his abilities, but keeping the curiosity in me to focus on the task.
-
"...you really shouldn't be here." She said. The umbreon looked five years old but something about how she talked made it seem like she was a lot older than she appeared.
-
"yes we shouldn't... We're trying to save Lena though. We have to find her core that has been hidden somewhere in her memories... Just... Help us or ignore us." I start looking again
-
Staring at the Umbreon, he's noticed that she speaks like someone much older - more experienced.
"S-Something is amiss here..."
-
"No you don't understand, the core is in this memory! I was keeping it safe but now that you have showed up, the darkness will surely..." There was a scream from downstairs.
"...Lenna." The illusion that the umbreon was keeping up disappeared as she now looked like she was in her early 20s. She had on white robes and was carrying twin blades made entirely out of light. She rushed past you two actually shoving you aside.
-
I run after the white figure, preparing for a fight, forgetting I might not be able to do anything in the memory.
-
Rushes on his small paws, bearing his Whitewood staff, heartbeat increasing in pace as he anticipates a fight.
-
(You will be able to do stuff. The darkness is technically not appart of the memory and my thought was anyone who is not apart of the memory can interact with each other people who aren't part of the memory.)
Downstairs in the living room, toddler Lenna was being attacked by black tentacles that were coming out of the ceiling. Eyes and gnashing mouths were on the ceiling and walls but the Umbreom ignored them she drew her sword and cut the tentacles freeing Lenna.
-
*throws small fireballs at the mouths and eyes* get her to safety!
-
"There is no safety here..." The umbrella said as the way we came was blocked off by a growing darkness. A voice sounded in all our heads.
"There is no escape from me...you are all going to die down here."
-
A small, but powerful bright light stems from the head of Kirion's staff - projecting a beam of powerful light energy. He directs it in such a manner to maim and slice through as much of the darkness as he can. His eyes slowly starting to glow with purple luster.
-
"what can we do then? Should I try to blow it up? I don't want to destroy anything... Though... This is a memory, can't do anything bad I think..." I throw a giant fireball at the blockade, hoping to help Kirion in breaking it.
-
Begins speaking in a manner his friends had never heard before - with confidence behind his voice as his eyes glowed brighter, his staff still spewing light energy
"I am Kirion. A Spirit of light. I fear no shadow, nor death." his breaths coming heavy.
-
The light was doing damage but the darkness was growing faster than you could destroy it. It started coming out all the walls and enclose around us.
"...everyone get down." The umbreon said as she took off her robes. Her body was covered with glowing vanes of light magic. She was a light sorcerer.
-
Drops down on the ground but peeks at the sorcerer, admiring the magical runes for a bit before covering my eyes from the light.
-
Kirion stares in wonder... He recognized the runic markings. Some were similar to the ones he saw at home.
-
The umbreon takes Kirion and hold him with both hands.
"I am going to use you as a magic focus. Are your ready?" She said as the darkness was getting closer.
-
(Peg clearly was tired, he went to sleep and didn't tell you... So I am. I'm going for today too, but I'm happy we did something, even if it ends with a cliffhanger... Good night :3)
-
(K goodnight :))
-
Kirion looks a little surprised and unsure - but there was no time for it. Clutching his staff in case he needed it to support himself afterwards, he give the Umbreon a decisive nod. His eyes as serious as they've ever been.
-
Kixi, who had been silent all this time, placed her hands on the Umbreon's shoulders. "I'll try to help a bit too," she said, closing her eyes and opening a connection between herself and the umbreon with some effort, giving access to whatever energy she had.
-
(Hey is everyone on?)
-
(I am, Kirion should be, Kixi you never know... I'll poke Kir.)
-
(Ok I will at least post what the mysterious stranger does. Just give me a second to think.)
-
(just leaving this here to get a notification for when you post :3)
-
The umbreon feels the of power both Kixi and Kirion flowing through her and her whole body lights up, blindingly so. It fills the entire room and the Darkness screams in pain as the light is to powerful for it. Everything goes white.
-
I close my eyes from the light, hoping the umbreon knows what she's doing and won't hurt Kirion and Kixi.
-
Kirion gasps for air suddenly, as he feels his very energy being used - as a spirit of light it will replenish fairly quickly, but the drain is strong enough to cause him to fall on one knee.
-
After about a minute of the light slowly starts to dissipate and the umbreon falls to her knees. The darkness had retreated to where ever it had come from and the room was silent.
"...thank you all...for helping me save my sister." The umbreon said a nearby clock started to ding as the hands hit midnight.
-
"sister? Are you Lenna's sister?" I ask, blinking my eyes, still a bit blinded by the light.
-
Has one paw to his chest, still gasping for some air. His strength and light begins to restore and he can soon bring himself to stand again.
"W-We...were sent to recover the core."
-
"ah right... The core... It just flew out of my mind with all this around... Where is it?" I ask to the umbreon.
-
The umbreon gets up and nods to HE. "The core will be safe don't you worry about that. The darkness can no longer get to it now that it has hit midnight, which also means Lenna will be fully transformed when you leave." She says and you all feel yourselfs starting to disappear as the spell keeping you here is fading.
-
Kirion looks at his hands as he begins turning transparent and his grip on the dream world lifts.
-
Back in the real world, Markaus had disapeared and the sounds of crying could be heard. It was clearly coming from me.
-
Kirion comes to in the real world, roused by the sounds of crying. He recognised the voice behind it...
"Lenna?"
-
Shakes my head "That felt... Lenna? Is everything okay?" I search for the voice.
-
On the bed were my body had been was shadowy figure curled up into a ball. The crying was coming the figure.
-
"Lenna... Oh no... Are you... Can you hear me?" I come closer to the bed, slowly reaching my paw towards the figure.
-
Your paw goes right through my body as it was entirely made of shadow. In fact it was actually really cold and when I see your hand go through my chest I freak out.
"Ah!"
-
"Lenna... Is that you? What happened... Were we too late?" I come even closer, tears show up in my eyes.
-
The lightward around Kirion's body shimmers brighter the closer he gets to Lenna. In her state, he dare not touch her with light magic enveloping him.
-
I see you about to cry and try to put a hand on your face...but it goes right through. When I try to talk I can only manage to whisper in your head.
"No...you did your job...this was inevitable."
-
"so... What happens now? I... I want... I wanted to do so many things with you..." I start crying, laying my head on the bed.
-
Kirion looks away and at the floor. Crestfallen, he quietly asks himself ;
"D-Did I fail a friend again...?"
-
I can't help but cry to.
"W-we can still do stuff...I don't want to lose you HellEye...I have already lost so much."
-
"I... Don't want to loose you either... How can we do it though... We can never kiss again... I maybe didn't show it too much... But I did like them." I try to hug the shadow, but just pass through it.
-
Kirion silently leaves the room. His ears drooped and tail dragging the ground. A single wet spot on the floor beneath where he was standing.
-
I try again to hug you but each time I keep going threw.
"Please...please...let this work." I try one more time and fly through you again...and hit the white orb that was on my dresser. When I do my dark body starts to get absorbed by the orb.
"What is happening!?"
-
Looking at you I notice Kirion missing, but that's not as important right now. "I don't know, I think you... Are absorbed into the orb somehow..." I run over and try to move the orb away from you.
-
Moving the orb does nothing as I simply get dragged with it. In a matter of seconds the orb takes in every last bit of me and i disappear into the orb.
-
Kirion is sobbing meekly against a wall in the hall. Utterly crushed by failing a friend yet again.
-
After the orb had completely absorbed me its starts to swirl with black and white magic and falls off the dresser on its own. It rolls around the ground before shooting up and floating in the air at chest level with HE.
-
"Lenna!" I scream with pain in my voice "Lenna... I... I'm sorry... I love you..." I pick the orb up and kiss it gently, trying to see your face in my memory. "I'm so sorry I couldn't stop it... It's my fault..."
-
The orb stops swirling as one half of it is black and the other is white. There is a bright flash that pushes you against the wall. When it dissipates, you see me on the ground curled up in a ball and not looking like a shadow. I was flesh and blood again...well sort of. All of my features were colored black and white.
-
"Lenna... Lenna! Oh gods... Are you okay?" crying from joy this time I get down on the floor and hug Lenna. "I thought I lost you..."
-
Now slumped against the wall, Kirion wallows in misery outside. His ear perks at a loud noise from the other side of the door, but can only imagine it is HellEye in grief of his own.
-
"...HellEye? What...what happened." I slowly start to get up and don't notice that the orb was stuck in my stomach.

(I gotta get off I have work that need to be done.)
-
"I... Don't know... Lenna... I'm so happy..." tears start flowing again, so to hide them I kiss Lenna
(I'm going to sleep too, way over time. Worth it.)
-
(Hey is everyone on?)
I am surprised at first when you kiss me but quickly relax as I kiss back. I knew very well I had no clothes and grabbed a blanket to sort of fix that.
-
(I think so, well... Kixi I don't know as always...)
"do you know what happened? Oh gods I was so scared... Kirion! Kirion come here! * I shout to get Kirion's attention.
-
Kirions ear flickers. Is that HellEye... calling him? He lifts himself up and slowly re-enters the room, tail still dragging the ground. He however gasps at the sight and his tail lifts.
"L-Lenna?"
-
"Hey kirion...I don't know exactly but this must have something to do with it." I say poking the orb that was were my belly button used to be.
-
Looks at the orb "yes... Probably... How are you feeling? Are you hurt in any way?"
-
Kirions feelers buzz, albeit only mildly this time. He moves to take a closer look at the once pure orb of light.
-
The orb seemed to constantly be swirling with both light and dark magic in strange sense of harmony. "I feel weird to be honest...like something is swirling inside me." I say as I look at my new fur color. All my pink fur, hair and flesh ribbons had turned black and everything else pure white. I couldn't see this but my right eye was white and my left eye was black.
-
"but you're not hurt or in pain? I'm so glad you're not this shadowy thing... Lenna I... I don't know how to say it..." I hug once more to hide my face.
-
Looking closer he watches the light and darkness swirling in the orb together, seemingly in harmony.
"A-Amazing...!"
-
"Say what...?" I ask blushing furiously and hugging back. The orb started to swirl faster as I got flustered.
-
"I... It's the first time I'm not interested in what happened to someone and how to explain it and think more about that you are safe... I think..." I hug you tightly and whisper into your ear "I love you Lenna..."
-
I remain silent for a second but jump with excitement as I give you a big kiss.
"I love you too HE." I say
-
Kirion steps back to give them some space.
-
I kiss back, feeling the moment for as long as I can, smiling.
-
When we finish I look into your eyes and smile. "...now you two should probably let me get dressed." I say, awardly holding up the blanket.
-
I look down a little and the high into the ceiling "oh, sorry... I umm..." I get up quickly and stand next to Kirion, turned with my back to Lenna. "so... What next?"
-
"I am not sure...actually didn't kirion want to go visit his home?" I ask getting dressed into my blue sundress that had been washed.
-
(I hadn't planned on that for this one I think - Kirion was more motivated by helping a friend and potentially learning more about magic)
Kirion looked to the fox beside him and just offered an innocent shrug, happy things didn't end badly for Lenna.
-
(Ok than...I am not sure where to take this than.)
-
"well... If you want to visit your home I'll be glad to come with you if Lenna will too. If not... We can settle down for now probably..."
-
(I think pegu is offline...)
-
(he is not, just didn't respond I guess... I'll be going offline now tho, good night :3)
-
(Ok goodnight. We can figure out of tomorrow if we are continuing this rp.)
-
Kixi blinked and watched what was going on. "I wonder if this is what Speedwagon feels like," she murmured, rubbing the back of her neck. "Hey, you know, I have a friend who's got a weird magic orb for a belly button, if you need some help... figuring out that stuff."
(Man, I really have to get on more.)
-
(I was wondering about that. Like what time zone are you in?)
-
(I'm in EST, if that means Eastern Standard Time. Right now, it is 9:15 A.M. for me.)
-
(Hey everyone, before we start I was thinking we should discuss we are taking this rp next...or if we still want to continue it.)
-
(I don't know really... As fun as this was timezones didn't help... I can get Pegu onto the discussion if you want)
-
(Sure that would help.)
-
(*Wave* Hi there! I'm happy to follow along with most stuff. HE can tell from the Skype RP's that have also been going on - Kirion has changed a lot now :P )
-
(So than where should we go than? I am kind of stuck on that?)
-
(Hmm... do we all have Skype?)
-
(if ViVi/Lenna does then yes.)
-
(If that's the case, we can make a group there to plan things out in.)
-
(and then we can even do the roleplay there... It's faster and nicer.)
-
(I'm not sure. I haven't been able to keep up because a lot of the posting happened while I was busy with stuff. However, since I only have a few last things to do, there's more time for me to actually characterize her and stuff.)
(Also, Daisy may make an appearance, if Lenna needs help getting used to her abilities and such.)
-
(we were usually waiting for a bit, but then me and ViVi had only 1 or two hours of overlapping time, so we were just playing... Sorry for leaving you out...)
-
(It's alright. I suppose it's my fault for not being more diligent on here.)
-
(I think I've tried to show you're still with us a couple of times... Ehh stupid timezones...)
-
(I do remember noticing that... Thank you. ^w^)
-
(always here <3 I felt really bad you weren't able to do this with us...)
-
(Hey, I did try to join in a bit. Kixi lent her power to the umbreon a little, remember? If Daisy gets in, as well, it will me a lot easier to be involved, perhaps.)
-
(yes I remember, but it was one post a day usually... Anyway... Hope ViVi jumps on soon, she should be here in 2 or 3 hours Max I believe. I hope.)
-
(Alright... I may be going out around 4:30, but I should be back long before 7:00.)
(This is around my time...)
-
(and what time is it now for you?)
-
( About 3:57.)
-
(okay... I should be around your 7 today then. Weekend and all. We can discuss it then. Michen won't be though I'm pretty sure.)
-
(I usually do. Don't have to tonight though.)
-
(Alright. I leave at 5:00, so we should be all set.)
-
(What was the discussion while I was gone?)
-
(you can just read it...)
-
(Yes, yes you can.)
