Title: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on June 17, 2009, 12:06:02 AM
EDIT: If the spaces fill up, and there are still RPers who wish to partake in this particular RP, I can make more positions available. =]

The Story

The world runs it cycles, everything's a cycle, from the life cycle to the water cycle, everything is replaced in time. But when time is thrown off track and the world is stuck in an infinite night time what is to happen to its inhabitants?

Welcome to Ryoko, a land that has forever lived in a conservative manner, and worshiping the six holy ones. For each god or goddess, a job is given. And once fulfilled they become dormant, their souls resting dormant in the bodies of every day humans. The humans, as it would be, are unaware of their dormant godly spirits, and live lives of average humans, until they die, and the spirit finds a new host.

After so many generations, the cycles have been known to fall off track, and the six chosen ones must awaken their spirits, or let the world die. The task would be easy if not for the curse placed upon the land by a dark priest thousands of years ago.

It was the first time the world has been frozen in the pitch darkness of night for such a length of time, when an unfaithful one attempted to take position as god of the land, while the holy ones lie dormant. His dark magic tampered with the planet's balance however, and forced the spirits into premature awakening, ripping them from the ill prepared human bodies they lay dormant in.

This gave perfect opportunity for the priest to use these fallen bodies, who were already conditioned for spiritual possession. In each body an artificial dark soul was placed, forcing them into becoming, what is known by legend, as the six devils.

Just as the six holy ones' souls were passed down from generation to generation, so were the six devils. When the holy ones are to awaken, the devils too are, and it becomes a race against time to reach the holy altars before these devils. If the devils were to be able to reach the altars first, it would consume the world in forever night and terror.

Once every altar has been reached, the holy ones (or if it should be, the devils) are to return to their designated seal and break it. Only then can the world be salvaged.

Holy ones are identified by a glowing white light that appears on the back of their hand during the awakening. Devils have black illuminating marks on the back of their hands.

This takes present in current times and is fantasy based, but I am not allowing guns as weapons.

Map:
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1775/ryoko.png)

Continents:
Naichi- This is the mainland, inhabited by mankind. None of the other continents have humans living on them, but are visited annually to give gifts and sacrifices.
Natur- Here is where the Altar of Earth lies. It is covered by dense forest and life.
Asche- Known for its incredibly high temperatures, and frequent forest fires, Asche is where the Altar of Fire is located.
Seegebeit- Location of the Altar of Water, Seegebeit is marshy and the entire land is covered in very shallow waters, though it sometimes dips into deeper bodies of water.
Verworren- The location of the Altar of Darkness, it is dim lit here, and cold. It faces often, furthest from the sun, and goes through long night cycles and brief day cycles.
Strahlend- The Altar of Light is located here, and, opposite of Verworren, it is warm here and most often daylight, with brief periods of nighttime.
Himmel- Mainly meadow with strong winds, here is where the Altar of Air is located.

Seals:
Holy Seal- When the time of awakening has come, Holy ones must come here to release their holy spirits, and then travel around the world, in order to enchant each altar. When all holy ones have reached their designated seal, the group must then return back here, and placed their hands upon the seal to unlock it.
Devil's Seal- Similar to the Holy Seal, the Devil's Seal works the same way, except with the devils.

Mainland (Naichi)-
Keigwin: A coastal region with the best beaches and the biggest amount of tourism, it is known for its tropical atmosphere.
Forsythe: Big on hunting and smithing, Forsythe is rather populated and proud.
Hikaku: Most populated area in Ryoko, Hikaku is a calm place of mainly the middle class. They explore various trades and markets.
Kiako: Town biggest on education, Kiako is wealthy and has the best Univerities in Ryoko.
Jairan: Lower class living quarters, still maintains cleanliness to the best of its budge, though lacks jobs and has much crime. Jairan is a more religious and mor'alistic area.
Tatsu: Broken into three districts, ranked according to wealth, and is the biggest trading town in Ryoko.
Aisuke: Laid back atmosphere, Aisuke is low on crime and known to many as the city of love. The people are friendly, and wealth hold less meaning here than in the other towns.
Isle: A tropical island, that is mostly a fishing village, though get massive tourism during the time of the awakening.

Six Holy Ones:
1) Mitsuye Sauda (light) --- Tatsu [lower district]
2) Marissa Keifling (earth) --- ???
3) Joey Fontain (fire) --- ???
4) Nixie Renita (water) --- ???
5) Myougami Zenaku (dark) --- Forsythe
6) Kamden and Kari Baine(air) --- Keigwin

Six Devils:
1) Tamasa Almana (dark) --- Tatsu [upper district]
2) (earth) ---  ???
3) Saul Damien Xavior (fire) --- Forsythe
4) Kyla Mizuko (water) --- Hikaku
5) (light) --- ???
6) Daggron Shinsei (air) --- Yet to be stated.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Heroes are reopened due to drop outs. Please try to fill them. Thank you for the effort. ~Addy

EDIT: Something I didn't mention is that once awakened, holy ones go to Isle and devils travel to the dark seal, where the prophesy is explained. The holy ones are explained a lot better to them, than to the devils, because its more organized. The devils seal is blocked off so that only devils can enter.

The awakening tends to have an overwhelming effect on the person, that toys with their emotions. Devils' evil souls urge the feelings of hatred and anger, sorrow and angst, and other negative feelings. When the mark appears on the hand, and it is viewed by the common man, devils are descriminated against and rejected. Holy ones are treated better than the average man.

The bell rang as the school yard filled with students,among them walked two girls, best friends. The one to whom walked on the left side as a beautiful blonde, dressed in a light peach summer dress, the sun glittering in her wide blue eyes. She walked with a rhythmic pace, ahead of the other, as she twirled on her heel, turning to face her friend.

"Last day of school! Can you believe it, Tama?!" she asked, her head tilted to the side, as he eyes were shut gently, and her lip curved into a smile.

"Hardly, I can't wait to get this summer goin'! What are you doing over the vacation?" Tamasa asked her friend. Tamasa was taller than her friend, and wore darker clothes. Her hair was black and tied back into two hind pig tails, that dangled loosely behind her. She too had blue eyes, but of a differently toned hue than that of Mitsu.

Mitsuye pursed her lips, "Well I was hoping to walk along the beach, and towards the end of the summer there's going to be a carnival that I just can't wait to go to!"

Tamasa laughed, "You're so odd! You're already looking forwards to the end of summer!"

Mitsu laughed too as they walked along, leaving the courtyard, and walking off school grounds. "We're still on for tonight, right?"

"Of course, I already told my parents, so we can go straight to your place- at least there we can get out of this sun!" Tama replied.

"Why?" Mitsuye replied, "It's so warm and bright!"

The girls continued talking as they walked, until they reached a tall apartment complex. They entered into the cool air conditioned corridors, and went of four flights of stairs, before branching off into another hallway and stopping in front of a door. Mitsu pressed the key into the lock, and listened to the click of the door opening, as the girls entered into the apartment.

♥-----♥-----♥

Kamdem and Kari sat in the sand, looking over the ocean waves, as they crashed against the shoreline and then pulled back into the ocean. They had been on break for a little over a week by now, and enjoy every moment of it. The sun beat down in them, their blonde hair rushing in the wind.

Kari looked over at her dear brother, "You still gonna help me learn how to surf?"

"Hmm... Nope! You'll fall in the ocean, you're so clumsy." he grinned.

She shoved him, "Am not! You promised!"

"I take it back," he replied, laying back in the sand and closing his eyes. "I don't feel like it anymore." After a few moments of no response he sat up and started to open his eyes when suddenly... SPLASH! She spilled a bucket of cold ocean water over his head. "KARI!"

She grinned, looking all innocent, "Yes, brother?"

"I'ma kill you for that!" he growled jumping to his feet.

She turned on her heel and raced through the sand, "Neh neh, neh neh, nee nee nu!" she taunted, "Catch me if you can!"

He laughed chasing her down the shoreline, halfway down the beach before stopping, putting his hands on his knees and bending over, breathing heavily, "Fine, I give, you win!"

She smiled, turning around, "You let me win though!"

He laughed, "So? Do you want to learn or not?"

"Alright, c'mon!" she replied, moving towards the rental shack on the upper end of the beach. She had a good feeling about this summer, it was going to be quite an adventure!

The boy seemed very out of place, running through the crowds of well dressed nobles dressed in his, what would be considered shabby in this part of town, cloak his "work clothes".

Kaito finaly arrived at the location of his current job, a large manor even by the upper class standard belonging to the Ferlin family. After he knocked on the door he was greeted by a woman with a very cold stare "Yes? How may I help you young man?"

"Umm...I'm the uhh...the worker you called for miss..." Kaito said very nervously "I presume you're Mrs. Ferlin?"

"Yes...I am. Well young man should you not introduce yourself as well?" Mrs. Ferlin said with an obvious tinge of irritation.

"Oh i'm sorry sir! I'm Kaito Fukuda and i'll be serving you today!"

"Well come along then boy." Mrs. Ferlin said leading Kaito into her home and closing the door behind them.

Mitsuye's apartment building was located in the lower district of Tatsu. It was a ten floor building, with a basement for storage, made of brick stacked on top of brick, laid side by side and cemented in place. The door was aged maroon color, covered in dirt, with fake gold lettered that read across it "Mickley Run Apartments. F." The yard was mainly grass, with a walkway to the door, but there happened to be an enormous tree to the left.

The halls were made up of off white, closer to tan color, and the carpet a greyish green, which ran up and down stairways and along corridors and hallways. The entrance had mailboxes, faux silver, with a key hole in each.  Each step creaked as weight was put upon it and all the doors were a cool sage color, each labeled with a number.

This building has been the one Mitsuye had grown to know, and so it would be the one she would forever have to live in, with the small amount of money her and her mother's bakery brought in. Tamasa never seemed to mind the quaintness of such a small place, despite her own wealthier upbringing.

Mitsu's apartment was a small one, with only one bedroom, which belonged to her, a living room, and kitchen and dining nook, and a bathroom she shared with her mother. Her mother slept on the couch.

All the carpets were the same tan color, all the walls white. The furniture was basic, couch and love seat, old analog tv, coffee table, dinner table, four chairs. Not too much else. Mitsu's room was the only with any sort of color, and it was a baby pink shade. She had a full sized bed, and a dresser, with stuffed animals, dolls, and little ornaments of cute little animals. In the corner on a night stand was another analog tv, and the bed was covered in a flowing pink blanket.

Both girls sat on the bed, and looked at each other.

"When's your mom get home?" Tamasa threw herself down, laying on the bed.

"It's gonna be another late night for her, I think... She wanted me to take off, so I could spend time with you..." Mitsu replied, standing and winding a little bear ornament box. Inside was some saved up loose change, and a little necklace inside, with a bear hugging an alexandrite gem stone; her birth stone, and engraved into the inner most portion of the lid, was a poem:

You have a special place in my life
that you’ve had from the very start.
I see your smile when I close my eyes -
your name is written on my heart.

For the times I can’t be with you
and perhaps you’re feeling blue
I’m sending you a bear hug
with love from me to you.

Love,
Your father


And the song that played, when she finished winding it, was a sweet sort of lullaby. She smiled back at her friend, as the song played. "Wanna help prepare dinner? I told mom I would at least do that for her."

Tamasa jumped up, "Sure! What're we makin'?"

"I gues stuffed shells..." Mitsu replied, wondering off, into the small kitchen area, to begin preparing supper. Tamasa followed close behind.

"Ahhhhhh..." Shin yawned loudly, not bothering to cover his mouth as he very slowly made his way into Tatsu's upper district. "It feels so weird not having school." Shin said to no one in particular, his hands in his pockets. School had be let out for him and Shin was now looking for something to do. He didn't need money, but he thought having a job just might help him pass the time.

There's got to be some kind of work in Tatsu for me. Shin thought and at the same time he brought his arm arm up to scratch his head and then quickly fixing his hair, patting down whatever hair was out of place. Shin often wanted to keep up his appearance and look as clean as possible.

Saul strode quietly through Forsythe, the local guards watching him silently under their wide-brimmed hats. Using his scythe as a walking stick, he walked towards the nearest building, pulling back his hood and revealing bleached white hair. He shook his head roughly for a moment, getting some airflow under his average-length hair, and cooling off. A local guardsman was sitting a few feet to his right.

"Crazy hot weather we're having, eh?" Saul said, suddenly turning to face the man. "Is it usually like this?" He smiled widely. The guardsman, obviously caught off guard, mumbled a little something. Saul looked confused for a moment, then moved closer. "I'm sorry, I couldn't quite hear you, sir." "No, it's usually alot cooler than this," the man said, speaking louder. "You just came on a hot day, it seems."

Saul pondered this for a moment, smiling. "I guess you're right... I'm looking for work around these parts; I'm an average blacksmith and metalworker... Know of anything?" The man looked at the youth... well, looked up at him. The "youth" stood well over 6 feet tall, taller than the man standing on the step above him. The man seemed a bit... unnerved by this realization. "Uhm, can't say I do, young man... What's your name? I'll keep word out for you."

Saul bowed deeply, saying "I would be honored for you to do so, sir." He straightened. "Saul Damien Xavier, at your service, sir." Again he smiled, genuinely. The guard noticed a thin red crescent over the young man's left eye, and wondered how in blazes he'd managed to get a scar there without losing his eye. "Sure thing, son, I'll send word out a young man's looking for work."

Saul bowed again. "Thanks for your kindness, sir. I won't forget it soon." And with that, he walked away, seemingly to another building to ask for work. The other guardsman nearby walked up to the first. "Was it just me... or was that kid kinda freaky, Malcom?"

Malcom took off his hat and wiped his brow. "I'm not sure, Stiles. There's something about him that seems alright, and yet... not alright. Keep an eye on him, just in case." Stiles nodded, and left the porch to follow the newcomer around the town.

((Yeah, I was waiting for it to be cleaned up... also did you notice my post above the one asking you to clean it up? The one pertaining to talking to Neschen? I can give him an extension if he thinks he's willing and he actually CAN post AT LEAST once a week. If not, I want at least one RP being able to move at a relatively constant pace, so if he isnt willing to commit then we should just leave him out of this one before we get too deep into the plot that dropping him would be difficult. Also, Whalesdude hasn't been on 4M in a long while, so I just assumed he's out too.))

<A few hours later>

Stiles sat back and whistled softly. That Saul kid had been working at Tevya the Smithy's anvil for the last 3 hours, only stopping to glance at the blades and tools every half hour or so. He was like a machine, noticing and correcting impurities and hammering out folds in moments, yet moving at a slow pace, allowing the blade to cool, staring at it with single-minded intensity. A few times, Saul glanced at the guard, who was sitting just outside, and smiled at him, only to return to his work a minute later. "Gotta hand it to 'im," the guard said to himself quietly. "'E's got an iron determination and amazing attention. 'E must've been trained by someone amazing. Seems like an okay kid... Dunno what Malcom was so worked up about!" He looked with a smile back to Saul, who was working on a large sickle. The blade was folded dozens of times... yet the way the metal was cooling... made it look like it was jagged inside. Saul looked back at the guard and smiled, somewhat deviously.

Stiles was somewhat unsettled by that look. "...what the hell?"  Saul turned to the guard, leaving the blade out to cool on its own. "An odd thing to do..." the guard said.  "Yeah, kinda," Saul replied. "So how long are you going to stare at me like some creepy stalker? The least you can do is tell me your name, heh." Stiles looked at the young man warily, then stuck out his hand. "Stiles Kirsha, town guard. What's that sickle for, anyhoo?"

Saul shrugged. "It's what Mister Tevya wanted, so I just made it for him. Want me to make something for you? I'll do it, free of charge. You seem like a pretty good guy, for a guard. So does your buddy. Most of the guards I've ever met are corrupt simpletons, driven by their greed to let crime run free. Heh. But enough about that." Stiles just stared, rather taken aback by the venom the words carried. He shrugged. "Look, thanks for the compliment. I don't want anything. My buddy just thought I should keep an eye on you for a bit. Nothing personal."

Saul's eyes narrowed. "Keep an eye on me? Why? Do you not trust me?"
"Oh, nah, we trust you, we're just careful of newcomers."
"Newcome- oh, right. It's cause I haven't been home in a while. I guess people have forgotten already."
Stiles eyed Saul carefully. "Forgotten... what?"
Saul looked down and frowned. "The death of my master, teacher... and friend. Smith."

Stiles' eyes widened. "SMITH? As in, the best blacksmith of Forsythe? Wasn't he the one that spat on Hiro after he saved the town from that gang of thieves?" "Yeah, that's the one. He did it because Hiro was bragging. Smith didn't like it, and refused service. That, and he secretly thought Hiro just paid off the thieves with government funds. Oh well... he got killed, the town rejoiced, life goes on."

He picked up the sickle, glanced over it, and quenched the rest of the heat in a nearby barrel of brine. "Life goes on. Until someone else decides that your life isn't acceptable anymore." He smiled darkly, holding up the blade.

A shiver ran up the guard's back. (Yeah, he's freaky alright) he thought. (Better report this to the head guard.) And with that, he walked out the door.

The sun shown through the canopy of the forest as Ren stirred at the base of a tall tree. After grabbing his bag he made his way through the forest and found his way to a road that led to Jairan.

He made his way into the city, seeing all the people living in the streets made him feel uneasy which distracted him. A young man had bumped into him and began running down the street. He felt where his wallet had been and immediatly gave chase.

The young rougue had made an easy catch and was amazed at how much the man had in his wallet. As he ran through the streets he ducked into an alley for a faster way to his home. Strangely though as he turned the corner a large wall had been erected. "What in the-" he said in suprise as he nearly ran straight into the wall, he backed up slowly prepared to make a break back into the streets, when he bumped into something behind him.

The remains of a man who had been violently beaten to death had been found in a back alley. People who had seen the man run in said another man wearing a coat and headband had walked in first and walked out alone holding a small pouch in his hand.

    Aven defecation dropped in front of William's shoe. "They'll probably be doing it on my head soon." he thought as he furrowed his brow. He bit into his chicken sandwich. He thought that this malicious act against birdkind would bring him joy. It didn't. He threw the rest of his sandwich into a nearby trashcan even though he was still hungry. The sandwich betrayed him. Everything seemed to betray him.
 
    Kids were walking home from school. William noticed a particularly pretty girl go by with her friend. "Pretty? Really? That seems a bit creepy. I'm probably a over twice they're age. But why should it be weird? If they were sixty and I was eighty nobody would think twice about it. I don't use the term think twice very often. Maybe I should. I'm thinking too much. Maybe I'm crazy. My family has a history of the crazies. Talking to myself is pretty crazy. But I'm not really talking to myself, am I? I'm just thinking to myself. That's normal. I hate how normal I am." The silence was awkward, even though he was alone.

    "I'm going back to work, now" He did.

After what seemed to be a long time of walking for Shin, he was now located in the lower district of Tatsu. He decided to take a break on a bench nearby where he had entered a park. "Ahh man, I'm tired... And it's so hot..." Shin complained to himself. Shin stretched his legs and arms out and then took a look around him. The park was much like any other park, it had a playground the children and drinking fountains and a small building which Shin guessed were restrooms. Parks are the same everywhere you go, why do they have to go through the trouble in naming them all? Shin thought to himself with an incredibly bored look on his face. "I wonder what this park's called..." Shin mumbled in wonder.

Behind Shin and towering over the park he was resting in was a large apartment complex which gave off a nice shadow for Shin to take refuge under in the hot weather.

(( That's Mitsuye's apartment building. ))

He walked quietly through the forest, stepping carefully and kept his breathing shallow to remain unheard. He held his bow in hand with an arrow drawn back, ready to shoot. His eyes scanned the trees around him looking for an appropriate target. He spotted a large deer close by, grazing in a clearing alone. He found it to be strange but approached cautiously.  He entered the clearing and had an easy clear shot from there. Finding this to be boring he crushed a twig under his foot and the deer looked up and sprinted away. Just as the deer reached the trees he let the arrow fly and watched the deer as it fell to the ground. He walked and proceeded to skin it and remove the bones. Keeping the meat and the pelt he continued his trip towards the nearest town.

He entered the town of Forsythe, happy that it was the town he had arrived at. He approached a guard who eyed him carefully as he got closer. "Hello there sir. I was wondering if you could be so kind as to tell me where the nearest tanner in this town is?"
Still eying him carefully the guard answered "That way. Fifth house down" He said pointing to his left. "What's your business here in Forsythe?"
He chuckled lightly at the guards question "I am a hunter. I have several pelts I wish to sell to the tanner. Thank you for your assistance." He turned to walk away when the guard stopped him.
"Two more things. Firstly what is your name traveler?" He ask gruffly.
"But of course. My Name is Myougami Zenaku and yours?" He ask politely.
The guard grunted in response to hearing his name "And secondly, what business does a hunter have with a polearm?" The guard ask motioning to the naginata on Myougami's back.
"Ah, you mean this?" He said removing it his back. "I don't have an endless amount of arrows, and I would prefer creatures such as wolves to keep out of biting distance. So I figured this weapon was ideal." He answered replacing the weapon on his back. The guard seemed to contemplate his answer before smiling. Extending his hand he said "My name is Tamotsu. Welcome to Forsythe."
Myougami shook his hand and said "Thank you. You had me worried for a minute there. Well then, I shall be going now, see you later friend." He turned and continued on his way to the tanner's home.

Sho Sumiko was busy digging through his closet looking for something important he needed to give to his daughter. "Argh I know it was around here somwhere" he said angrily while brushing past several old photo albums. "Ahh! Here it is." he happily proclaimed while holding a small rectangular box.

He began making his way down the hall and came to a large hardwood door. "Yuu, may I come in?" he said while knocking on the door.

"Just a moment father!" Yuu yelled back as she finished tying her hair back. She made her way to the door and opened it to let her father in. "Good morning father" she said happily.

"Good morning Yuu, are you ready for the graduation ceremony today?" he asked while showing her the box he had brought with him.

"Yes I am father, but what's in this box?" she inquired.

"Yuu, this was your mothers necklace." Sho said as he opened the box revealing a beautiful silver necklace with a a small sapphire inlaid in the pendant. "She asked me to give this to you when you came of age".

"Father it's beautiful." she said while her father placed the pendant around her neck.

"It suits you Yuu, and i'm proud of you for making it all the way through university" he said as he hugged his daughter. "But now look at the time, the ceremony will be starting soon you should be off".

"Alright father i'll be back soon." Yuu said as she headed out of hr room. "I'm heading out!" she said to her father while opening the door.

"Have a safe trip!" Sho said as his daughter walked through the large door.

Daggron was out in the training room again, constantly beating the targets lying around the room with amazing speed.
“Enough!” the figure at the door said
Daggron stopped and turned to see his adopted father, a great dojo master and teacher, walking in the room.
“Hey sensei,” Daggron replied “I was just doing some practice.”
“Daggron please I’m your father, not your sensei. Well not anymore. So just call me dad” said Daggron’s father with a smile
“Yes father.”
“Why aren’t you teaching the students? They have been out there for at least an hour.” He said with confusion
“I was just on my way.”
“Well you better hurry. You’re not in school anymore so you should’ve more time with your students and not training.”
“Yes father” he said running out of the room and outside.
It was a nice day it was a little hot outside but the nice cool breeze helped. He ran inside of the dojo’s main room, and stood in front of his students.
“Good day class.” Daggron said
“Greeting sensei” they all replied
“Can anyone tell me what this is” He pulls out one of his swords from his back
“It’s a falchion” one of the kids replied
“You’re only half right, you see in battle this is your life. If you lose your blade you lose your life. It is also your greatest friend, and like a friend if you take good care of it, it will take care of you.” Daggron said
“How can it be our friend? This is stupid; a weapon can’t be your friend. It’s just a weapon.” One of the students replied
“Oh really, would you like to test your theory?”
“Fine by me.” He said laughing a bit
“Ok then, Sarah please spare with this person”
“Yes sensei” a little girl around the age of 10 stands up
“Her? She is like what 9? This is an insult!”
“Both of you get a sparing weapon.”
They both did what they were told.
“Class stand back, and watch what happens when your weapon becomes your friend.” Daggron announced
The other students stood back and made a circle around the two students
“What’s your name?” Sarah said with a smile
“Jack” he said a little annoyed
“Ok first one to hit the other wins.” Daggron said to them both
“Only one this is easy.” Jack said
“I wish you luck” Sarah replied
“You’re going to need that luck” jack replied with a smirk
“Commence” Daggron yelled
Jack ran up to Sarah and tried to attack her with a horizontal attack. But Sarah parries his attack and jumps back.
“What the?” jack said
Sarah then dashes at jack, jack tried doing a downward attack on her but Sarah sidestepped and hit jack in the side knocking jack over.
“Finished...has every one learned their lesson in swordsmanship?” Daggron said to the class
“Yes sensei” everyone but jack said
“Alright that’s enough for today. You all may leave. There will be a tournament in class tomorrow and I expect all of you to do great.” Daggron said
“Yes sensei. Thank you” they all said while getting up and going out of the room.
Daggron left to go meet up with his 3 other friends, Koi, Rose, and Axel who were standing next to the big tree in the middle of the dojo garden. Koi was extremely well built and handsome, he carried long two handed sword, Rose was extremely beautiful with nice natural appearance, she carried 2 long daggers, and Axel was any girls dream boyfriend, he carried a relatively large broadsword.
“Hey guys” Daggron said walking up to the group
“Hey Kaze” Axel said
“Why do you call me that?” Daggron said
“Well your always babbling on about the wind so it’s only natural I call you that” Axel said
“Fine I guess that’s my new nickname” Daggron said laughing
“So ‘Kaze’ we were just talking about what we were going to do over the summer.” Rose said
“I’m going to the beach to meet all the babes” Axel said while smiling
“I’m going to see if I can’t get a job around here” Rose said
“So Koi what are you going to be doing?” Daggron asked
“Me? I’m going to travel the country and see everything”
“What are you going to do Kaze?” Rose asked
“Training same as usual” Daggron said
“Oh come on Kaze that isn’t going to bring her back! Stop beating yourself up about it!” Axel said with a hint of anger in his voice
“…….” Daggron looked down in depression
“So you want training? Lets train” Koi said taking out his two handed sword
Koi slashed at Daggron, Daggron dodged it by a hair. Rose took out her daggers, and axel took out his broadsword. Daggron brought out two of his swords from his sword pack, and began to spare with them. It wasn’t too long that everyone was smiling and having fun doing a 3 on 1 battle. Daggron was on the defensive while Koi, Rose, and Axel were attacking him nonstop.

((awesome! great post! I hope that's everyone... it is right?! WOOHOOO!!!! Remember after this day ends the awakening begins))

Mitsuye opened the fridge, dismally as she gazed upon empty shelves, and the lack of adequate ingredients to make anything. She sighed, with discontent, the closed the door, a smile restoring once more. "Looks like we're gonna have to go to the store; you don't mind do you?"

"Back out in the sun?" Tamasa replied, "Oh not at all," she said in playful sarcasm. "I don't mind." She followed up with.

"Oh.. alright!" Mitsuye answered, as she turned on her heel, and the girls left out the door, locking it on the way out. They walked back out into the warm day, the sun casted upon them, and Tamasa covered her eyes from the sun.

They crossed the street, walking on the side walk, strewn with patches of sun and shade alike, from the trees in the park. Not to fall along, sat a man, seemingly uninterested in that which went on around him.

"I wonder what this park's called..." Shin mumbled in wonder.

Tamasa glanced at him, as they passed by, "It's Bridgeway Park.." she replied to him, though he hadn't really been talking to her.

Shin was suddenly startled by an answer to his question we didn't expect to be answered. He looked up at the gentle voice who had spoken to him to see a young girl there. To Shin, she was extremely cute looking even though her features were quite dark.

"Oh, is it? Thank you." Shin laughed, smiling at Tamasa. "I don't live around here, so I wouldn't really know."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 20, 2009, 04:19:30 AM
Tamasa smiled "Me neither, I live in the upper district, but I'm down here enough to know the name.."

Mitsuye c0cked her head to the side, curiously. It was unlike Tamasa to be quite so social, but she kept quiet as the two conversed.

Post by: Red on December 20, 2009, 02:43:27 PM
"Oh, I see. I live on the border of Hikaku and Tatsu. I've sort of been looking for work and I made my way down here..." Shin said, but trailed off quietly as he noticed this girl wasn't alone. Her friend appeared to become impatient so Shin thought he'd better let these two girls continue on wherever they were going.

"Well, I'm sorry to keep you like this. Thank you for talking to me." Shin said to Tamasa. "I didn't catch your names though..."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 20, 2009, 05:55:19 PM
Tamasa looked to Mitsu, "I'm Tamasa, my shy friend is Mitsuye." she answered as Mitsuye waved sheepishly. "We're just going to the market, you could come if your not busy.. what kind of work are you looking for?" she followed up with.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on December 21, 2009, 02:09:23 AM
Saul watched closely as Stiles exited the shop. (That fool... something's going to happen soon. I can feel it) he thought. He picked up his scythe from the work bench, and, with a swift motion, cut a bench in half. (Like a hot knife through butter... If something happens, I'll be ready)

He put the scythe back down, and began mending the bench. "Can't let this go noticed," he thought aloud. "Twould be bad for me, heh." He affixed the two halves together quickly, set all the tools around on a display table, and was paid by Tevya, who shook his hand for a good 5 minutes. Saul smiled throughout, genuinely amused by the smithy's good nature and kindness. Slipping a few more gold pieces into Saul's hand, Tevya bid him good day and please come back good sir. Saul shook his hand again, thanking him for his generosity, and departed.

The warm day was starting to turn cool as the sun began its descent towards the horizon and beyond. Saul breathed in the coolness, feeling it ease his pain, and steel his nerves for whatever may come next. He was just walking to the tanner's house to ask for more work and perhaps a place to stay when he heard footsteps behind him. (....probably those guards) he thought. He slowed down, stopping in the middle of the road in front of the tanner's house. "Look, if you're going to do something, just do it," he said loudly. A few people stopped around the road and just looked at him.

A few moments later, a half dozen guards, Malcom and Stiles included, came out of the back alleys and surrounded him. "Saul Xavier, you're hereby put into custody by the guards of Forsythe for being in relation to the heretic Smith, who refused our hero Jagus service for no reason. Do not resist, or we will subdue you forcefully." Saul looked around at the guards and sighed. "Why are you doing this? I'm being arrested for being his apprentice?" he asked. "Listen to yourselves, does this really make any sense?"

A few guards shuffled their feet for a moment while the one who was talking responded angrily. "No one gives a damn what you think, you little bastard. Now come with us peacefully or we will use force!" "Uh... sure."

The guards looked surprised. "...What? Sure?" they asked. "Yeah, sure. I was looking for a place to stay the night anyway," Saul said sheepishly. "I can't take on all six of you right now, I'm kind of tired. Maybe in the morning we can try to sort all this out, hm?" He grinned. Suddenly he saw nothing but black, and a force hitting him behind the head.

Stiles stood back, holding a small club. "Take that, you freaky bastard." And with that, they took him off to jail, giving everyone watching glares of "Don't you dare talk about this."

He finished his business with the tanner and was leaving with a large amount of money. He had sold all of his animal pelts, all of which had been expertly skinned, fetching him a fair price. As he left the tanner's he saw the commotion with the man and the six guards commence. Hearing every word of the conversation as it ensued. Amongst the guards he spotted Tamotsu who seemed unsure of what the guards were doing. He finally heard the man agree to go with them peacefully when one of the guards clubbed him across the back of the head, at this point he had seen enough. Myougami rush forwards and stopped the guards "Excuse me sir's, but is it too much for me to inquire what exactly this gentleman has done wrong? You see I was just leaving the tanner's when I heard that you were arresting him for no apparent reason and when he agreed to go with you peacefully, you struck an unarmed man from behind when you outnumbered him six to one. To me that does not seem like a something guards should be doing."
  Tamotsu spoke up "Myougami, friend. Please do not get involved in this, it is none of your business and is something you do not wish to get mixed up in." He stared at Myougami with a concerned look on his face.
  "Tamotsu, I saw you from the distance. You yourself are unsure about this arrest. I understand that you are just doing your job here. Now who is in charge here?"
This time it was Malcom who spoke "That would be me. Sir i'm afraid Tamotsu is correct, this is not your business. Please leave immediately."
Myougami stared Malcom hard in the face "I am sorry officer but i am afraid I cannot do that. I cannot allow for you to arrest a man without reason. I will not stand by and watch something so corrupt. I do not wish to harm any of you, or cause any trouble but please let him be. Infact I offer you an alternative, how about you leave him under my care. I shall be renting a room for the night, I will look after him and you can post guards around and inside the building. Tamotsu can even stay in the room with us. This way we can sort it all out in the morning, when he awakens."
The guards were quiet for a few moments as Malcom seemed to think about the odd request. Malcom looked up at Tamotsu who was standing behind Myougami. Tamotsu nodded his head and Malcom spoke "Okay then. We shall take your alternative method."

The guards follwed behind Myougami and Tamotsu carrying the unconscious body of Saul. Tamotsu lead them to an inn for the night, and the bill went entirely to the city. They were given their rooms and the guards layed Saul down on a bed. Myougami and Tamotsu organised where they would sleep and Malcom organised the positions and shifts of the guards from outside the room.

"Hmm, well I hope I'm not intruding." Shin said as he stood up. "But I don't see the harm in escorting you ladies." He added with a smile. Shin adjusted his clothing and such quickly and then signaled he was ready.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 23, 2009, 03:21:03 AM
"No intrusion at all! Right Mitsu?" Tamasa replied.

Mitsuye smiled, "None at all." she answered then.

As the started for the store, Tamasa turned to the man again, "So you never answered my question.. What kind of work do you do?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on December 23, 2009, 10:29:33 PM
"Oh, I'm sorry." Shin began as he kept his attention on Tamasa who he began to develop some sort of crush on. "I'm mainly just a student looking for some spending money, but I specialize in doing odd jobs that other people usually won't do. So, I guess you could say I work in every field." Shin replied as he buttoned one of his unbuttoned buttons on his black dress shirt.

Post by: Adelaide on December 23, 2009, 10:41:35 PM
"Oh," she answered simply, "Why would you search the lower district for work then? That doesn't seem to make sense; most of the people here are struggling to find and maintain work..."

Mitsuye glanced at them, "Ahaha, it's not that horrible," she tried diverting the topic. "Maybe you could find him work with your family?" she suggested.

"Maybe, I can't ever tell with my parents... I could ask about it though.." she said upon arrival to the small shop. Mitsuye picked up a basket and broke apart from the seemingly uninterested two, roaming for her needed supplies.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on December 24, 2009, 04:59:55 PM
"Oh, well I'm not entirely familiar of this area, so I just thought I'd check." Shin laughed. I better not tell them I'm fairly wealthy then... Shin made a minor note to himself. Shin was the kind of person who would do a job just for the thrill or heck of it; he does enjoy trying new things in life after all.

Entering the store, Shin couldn't help but look around. He didn't entirely trust the neighborhood they were in since he didn't know what the crime rate was at.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 24, 2009, 08:21:16 PM
"Didn't seem as if you were, haha... Mitsu and I have lived here all our lives; it's sorta divided up into three sections; upper, middle, and lower district. The difference between each is income. A lot of the families in the lower district are stricken with poverty, while upper district is made up of wealthier status, and the middle district is mainly middle class." she explained, unsure if he already had knowledge of this.

(( Give me a break, I have people I have to spend time with. ))

((Sorry! Forgot I had to post! Thanks Sol for reminding me! Also Red, it's fine! one liners work! I hope you don't mind some slight god moding. I just want to end the day already.))

Mitsu finished her shopping, thus allowing the girls and their escort to go back towards the direction they had come. They came to a stop before the apartment building, where the girls turned to face the boy that had ever so kindly escorted them.

"Thank you very much for escorting us." Mitsu said.

Tama smiled, scribbling on the back of Mitsu's receipt, and giving it to him. "That's my number if you ever feel like givin a buzz." she smiled.

Several hours later it was getting dark. The street lights began to turn on and the stars were beginning to come out.
“Heh summer starts tomorrow…” Daggron said
“Ya and we all aren’t going to see each other for the entire summer” rose said
“Hey we’ll all see each other in the fall” Axel said
“Hopefully” Koi replied with a smirk
“Ok then let’s make a promise that we all will meet each other here next fall” Daggron said while nudging Koi playfully
They all put there fist together and nodded.
“Oh damn I got to get home and cook it’s my turn today.” Rose said running off waving
“Ok see ya” Axel, Koi, and Daggron yelled waving back
“I better be going to I got to get and get to bed have to get an early start tomorrow if I want to see everything” Koi said getting up and walking away
“K see ya” Axel said
“Bye” Daggron said
“Well this is awkward I guess I’ll go” Axel said winking and running off
“Alright don’t chase too many babes away” Daggron said jokingly
“Ha you wish” Axel said disappearing from sight
Daggron got up and began to walk towards the woods, after awhile he reached a cliff looking over a beach with a grave that read
Kelly Tikara
 Never let go of your dreams,
Hold onto your honor,
Cherish your love,
Keep your heart,
Never lose sight of the light,
Because there is always good in evil.
“Hey Kelly………summer is tomorrow and sens- I mean father has a surprise for me tomorrow” Daggron said laying on the big smooth rock near the grave
“It’s beautiful out tonight….the stars are so bright…the moon is so big, and the wind blows gently and cool.” Daggron said looking at the grave
“Heh Axel gave me a nickname today……Kaze……wind in Japanese ….” Daggron gave a small chuckle
“Everyone is leaving for the summer. Axel is leaving to Keigwin tomorrow. Koi is going to travel and see everything…Rose is going to stay here and see if she can get a job.” Daggron sadly said
“I’m going to train some more…..because I couldn’t save you…..” Daggron clutched his fist holding it out in front of him
“Those Damned people took you away from me……almost killed me…..they all deserve to die…..everyone deserves to die……they all are evil…..they watched us…..get beaten….get robbed….no one helped…..they just watched….I’m going to kill them all….for you…..I promise …. Vengeance!!!!” Daggron yelled with anger
“I don’t have a heart…….it was torn out of me a long time ago……but I have to be patient….the time is not right….the opportunity of vengeance will show itself. For now I need to hold my anger…..” Daggron said tightening his fist
“I’m sorry Kelly I have to go…I’ll see you tomorrow though…” Daggron said getting up
“I found this on my way here….this used to be your favorite flower….” Daggron said placing a crimson flower on her grave
“I love you” Daggron said turning away and walking off

"Oh, it's no problem..." Shin replied to Mitsu's kind thank you. Shin was surprised that Tamasa had given him her number as he took it. "Uhh... Alright." He replied, unsure of what to say and not just because he didn't know her very well, but because he was tired from walking all day. "I'll see you around I guess then."

(( I thought you'd have something bad happen in the store or something. >.> ))

Tamasa and Mitsuye walked back into the building, Mitsu giving her friend a suspicious look. "That was strange."

"What was?" Tama asked, in reply.

"You, with him." Mitsu answered.

"What?" came Tama's response.

"You know what I mean."

Tama smirked a little, "What? He was kinda cute."

Mitsuye smiled, "I knew there was something going on there. You aren't usually nearly as social."

They entered Mitsuye's apartment, and the door shut behind them. The evening was quickly turning into night.

It was getting dark now, most citizens seem to have disappeared from the streets and the park he had met Mitsu and Tamasa in was no completely empty. Shin walked aimlessly about the park and finally came to sit down on the same bench he was resting on earlier. Shin sighed and looked up at the sky with his arms stretched our on both side of the bench.

"I guess I should head back to my apartment soon, though there's not really a rush... I kind of like the stillness here." Shin mumbled to himself.

After the girls had prepared supper, Tama had gone to wash her hands noticing a darker area on the skin of the back of her hand and pausing for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Mitsu asked, taking notice to her friend's pause.

"Oh nothing, just a bruise I don't remember getting..." she trailed off.

Later than usual, Mitsu mother had returned from work, finding the girls had left dinner on the table so they could eat together, and were occupied with talking about the school year and old friend's, while Mitsu did Tama's hair for her. They were giggling, as Mitsu's mom walked into the dining area.

"Oh, Mitsuye," she started, "You already prepared dinner!"

"Tama helped, I knew you'd be home late so we did it together." Mitsu replied.

They'd eaten dinner, and Mitsu and Tama went to her room, while her mother went to bed after a long day of work.

"Are you looking forward to the summer?" Mitsu asked.

"Not particularly, my parents wanted me to go away to Kiako, expand my horizons, blah blah blah, this whole educational thing... I didn't really want to go, I was looking forwards to spending the summer with you."

Mitsu smiled, "That's why you're my best friend!"

"Anyway..." Tamasa  continued, "I thought we'd have a vacation, you and I. To Keigwin, visit the parks and beaches."

"You know I can't afford that..." Mitsuye answered.

"Oh no problem, I already prepaid!" Tamasa answered, "It was supposed to be my little surprise; think of it as an end of the year gift."

Mitsuye stared stunned at her friend, "H-how much did you pay?"

"Don't worry about it, I was just lookin' forward to a great summer!" Tama answered.

Mitsuye embraced her friend, "You really mean a lot to me ya know.."

Tamasa smiled, returned the embrace, "I know."

The dark night hours trailed on later into the night, and before the girls knew it, it was the stroke of midnight.

((mmmmk i think i should be doing something now lol))

Saul awoke with a start. The moon was up, the stars were shining... and there was someone else in the room. It... didn't appear to be human. It was a tall shadow figure, standing against the wall casually. "Oi," it said, a strange accent slipping out of its 'mouth,' which appeared as a non-shadowy part of the wall. "'Bout time you woke up. You ready da go or what?" Saul cocked an eyebrow, and rubbed his eyes. He looked over to the cot nearby, upon which a stranger slept. Wait... why was he in the inn and not the jail? "....what," Saul finally said.  The shadow moved across the wall, feet stepping down at the corner where the floor met the wall. "I said, 'Are you ready ta go?' I mean, now. Jeez, little slow on da uptake? Heh."

Saul tilted his head slightly. "Uh..." he said quietly. "Are you really there? I'm not hallucinating this, I mean. Also no, I'm not ready to go, not just yet." He shook his head slowly. Obviously the stress of the guards arresting him had caught up to him. The figure stepped off the wall, walked towards the bed (without making a sound, Saul noticed), and stopped at the side, right next to Saul. "Do I look like I'm not really here? C'mon, pal, get up. It's time for you to go. Why're you even messin' with these cops, anyway? You're waaaay stronger than they are." The shadow grinned impossibly wide. "You should just kill 'em."

Saul wiped a hand across his face and sighed. "Alright, assuming you're real... Who are you, and what is it time for?"

The shadow opened a pair of eyes and laughed again, louder. "Alright, alright, fair enough. I'm you. Or at least what you're supposed to be. I suppose you've heard all those ancient tales about the gods and devils, righ'?" Saul shook his head, no. "What!? You haven'? Jeez louize, well we betta fix that if we're gonna have any fun tonight. Look, there's dese gods, right, and a long time ago they jus' lay dormant in humans. They sat around, wakin' up every now and then to move to another 'host.' Well, my boss was this really powerful wizard, right, and he made 'em wake up a bit early. This made 'em break free of da humans they were in, and he put me and my five comrades in the humans. Artificial souls, he called us, puttin' us in the bodies. Called us da Devils. So basically, we're tryin' to cover the world in darkness and chaos, while da other humans who house tha gods, the 'Chosen Ones,' they're tryin' to spread love and peace and all that bull$hit. Oh, and all of us, Devils and Chosen Ones... our host bodies get powers over a certain element. Ours... is Fire. And I'm bored now. So I'm gonna be takin' over for a bit." And with that... Everything went dark. Saul cried out loudly, once, and fell silent as he succumbed to the blackness of unconsciousness.

He rose again, rising from the bed slowly. He held out a hand, above which formed a ball of flame, 12 inches in diameter. "Your world is destined to burn anyway," he said with a strange accent. "Hope you guys don't mind me startin' it a bit early." And he threw it against the wall, immediately causing it to burst into flame. "EEEEAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

((Note: the Devil Shadow has a Brooklyn accent. I guess that's what happens when I watch all of Baccano! in like 2 weeks))

The movie flickered on the screen before the girls, as their sleepover had progressed. Tamasa has seemed to have a certain uneasiness about her more and more as the night progressed, and Mitsuye had found herself growing increasingly concerned.

"Are you alright?" she finally asked.

"I'm fine." Tamasa answered in a dull monotone voice.

"Are you sure?" Mitsuye pressed.

"I said I'm fine, okay?!" Tamasa answered in a displeased voice.

Mitsuye recoiled, "I'm.. I'm sorry.."

"Eh..." Tamasa answered getting up to go to the bathroom, now feeling remorse for her unexpected behavior. She stood in front of the mirror splashing water up onto her face, and reached for a towel to dry off. She pulled the towel away and met eyes with her own reflection. However, the reflection she had met eyes with was none too familiar to her and she took a step back. The image before her was a dark silhouette of her own figure, with very few evident features.

"Tamasa...." whispered an eerie voice.

Tamasa backed up into the wall, "W-who's there?"

"Why are you so afraid Tamasa?" the figure spoke in the same eerie voice.

She looked around her, "What's going on... You're scaring me.. Is this some kinda joke? It isn't funny!"

"You are afraid of yourself?" the shadow seemed amused by this, "What's there to fear? You are alone Tamasa. There is only you here."

"Then who's speaking?!"

"You are." The voice replied. "Look at your hand, Tamasa..."

Tamasa gasped, turning her hand over to observe the bruise that had been there was a vivid black emblem. "No... this isn't real..." she cupped the hand with the other to hide the mark.

"Are you angry, Tamasa? You've been taking it out on your dear friend all night." the voice beckoned, "You can't hide it from her. What will she think of you? What do you think of yourself?"

"Go away!"

"You can never escape yourself, Tamasa..." the voice faded away.

Tamasa wavered for a moment, feeling on edge and teary eyed. She held the hand, clenching the mark beneath the other tightly. She stumbled out of the bathroom, wide eyed with terror.

Mitsuye looked up at her, "Tama?" she asked nervously.

"Stay away from me, Mitsuye." Tamasa answered, her skin tingling with some strange sensation.

Mitsuye stepped closer, "What happened, Tama?" she reached out towards her.

Tamasa glanced up with pure black eyes, portraying mixed emotions. "I SAID STAY AWAY!" she yelled as she forced Mitsuye away from her, and ran out the door. She never stopped running, she just ran and ran, tears falling down her cheeks, as she repeated to herself: "This can't be happening."

Kaito's day ended normaly, he returned home exhausted with his generous paycheck in hand and went to bed immediately after dinner. A job this big would normaly have stressed Kaito to no end but for some reason he felt at ease.

"What a day..." he said exhaling "I should really get to bed, big day tommorow". He layed down on the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

Kaito awoke the next morning before the sun rose. "It's been years since i've watched the sun rise." he said as he began to get dressed. He let out a relaxed sigh as the morning sunlight began to shine on him. "Ahh the light feels so warm." he looked down to see that the small cross on his hand had begun to glow. "Wha...what the....." he stamered as a light red crest formed around the cross which had taken on a light red crystal like form. "I can't believe this is really happening".

-----

Ren didn't understand what had come over him, he had killed somone before, but not in cold blood. The mysterious bloodlust that had filled him faded soon after he headed to a motel further in town.

"Hey, what can I do ya for?" said the middle aged woman manning the reception counter.

"I'd like a room for the night." Ren said simply.

"Here are the rates for our different room sizes and..... hey are you alright?" the woman said as Ren knelt down grasping his hand.

"Why now!" Ren said as a dark green symbol appeared on the back of his hand.

"You're a...a...devil." the woman said stepping back and running out into the street.

Ren had to take a moment to collect himself as he leaned against the wall. He had heard about the religious fanaticism of Jairan and figured the woman had gone to assemble a mob. He got up as several men armed with bats and pipes stormed in.

"There he is! Get him!" one of the men yelled as they all rushed forward.

Ren easily evaded the first strikes and knocked out two of the men before tackling through the crowd outside and running through the streets now filled with angry citizens. He slipped through the crowds of people and made it safely out of the city and into a nearby forest where he fell back onto a fallen tree. Several minutes later he heard a voice near hime.

"It's really amazing isn't it? The fact that you've made it this far without me." said a mysterious shadow that was standing under the cover of the trees several feet from Ren.

"Who are you?" Ren questioned the mysterious figure.

"I'm a part of you Ren." said the figure as it stepped out of the shadows.

"You...you're...me?" Ren said astonished by seeing himself step out of the shade and into the light.

"More or less, well to be more accurate i'm the part of you that you threw away so many years ago." the figure said as it stepped towards Ren with an uncharacteristic grin on his face. "With your awakening at hand you understand that even if you refuse to take me back into yourself, I may appear when you least expect it. I'll be seeing you again very soon." he said as he faded back into the forest.

-----

Yuu left the ceremony feeling at ease now that she could return home to her father. She returned home and got the sudden urge to read through some of her mothers old journals. After reading through several of the journals her father returned home. They ate dinner and had a chat about the ceremony before Yuu retired to her room. She lay awake in her bed before stepping out onto the balcony.

She stared up at the clouds until the moon became uncovered and shone brightly, illuminating her entire room.

"You've grown so much Yuu." said a voice from her room.

"Who's there?" She said as the moon revealed a slender figure with long blue hair. "M-mother?" Yuu said shocked by the presence of the woman she thought was dead.

"Yes Yuu, I am your mother." she said stepping towards her daughter. "You were born with a fate that was meant for me, but I passed away before I could live up to that fate".

"I don't know what you mean." Yuu said as her mother took her hands. "What fate are you talking about?" she said as her mother let go of her hands revealing a glowing light blue symbol on her hand. "This is?"

"I was meant to be a holy one, but as I passed the soul within me passed on to you. I'm sorry to have put this on you." She said sadly to her daughter.

Yuu suddenly embraced her mother "Mother... don't apologize, this is something that was passed onto me. I feel like this has brought me closer to you."

"Yuu...I'll always be watching over you." She said as she returned her daughters embrace and faded away into the moonlight.

He awoke with a start as he saw the room go up in flames. He jumped out of bed and woke the guard who slept in the room "Sir It appears the room has caught fire, and our friend is gone!"
  The guard grumbled and rolled over to face the flame. His eyes opened and he sprung out of bed. Myougami left the guard and ran outside to get some assistance but as soon as he go outside into the darkness of the night, a strange feeling swept over him. The feeling overpowered him and he was forced to balance on one knee. He stared at the ground and saw a figure rise up from it. Staring into the figure's face he was in shock, unable to speak. The figure did not speak, but much rather pointed to Myougami's hand to show the symbol forming on his hand. From the glow, he knew it meant he was good and he reached complete understanding. He felt his consciousness merge with that of the figure, and he felt complete.

Saul watched in partial confusion as Myougami ran out of the room and down onto the street. He had partially awoken from the darkness, though he was still under the control of the Devil Shadow. Not that he minded. Right now he felt like he was having the time of his life. The fire was spreading through the inn, but the only people left that would be affected by it were the guards strewn throughout the building. "Heh heh hehhh~" he giggled slightly to himself. His Shadow, meanwhile was tracing his fingers across the wall, leaving scorch marks wherever his skin made contact with the surface. He was drawing a peculiar symbol, one which Saul now noticed on his right hand. ((That's da symbol of us Devils,)) the Shadow said within Saul's mind. ((People generally dislike dat, dey think it's tha symbol of total destruction. So I'd say don't go showin' that around to everyone, they'll go chasin' you outta town. That don't mean you shouldn't EVER show it around. Look here,)) it said, pointing out the symbol on the wall. ((Each of us Devils has a power. Ours is over Fire. Dis symbol helps us concentrate our power. So for us... if you draw this symbol on somethin', then concentrate, you can make it into a giant bomb. Now see, we just made this entire wall into a bomb, heck, maybe even the whole inn. We just gotta draw a few more around the place, and it'll make a nice explosion, heh." Saul smiled. "Teach me how," he said aloud. ((....that's the spirit, heh.))

Saul noticed that most of the guards had left the building already, probably getting water to douse the fire, or just running scared. "Cowards," Saul spat. He started drawing the sign on the floor of the "lobby"...

Malcom was standing outside the inn, barking orders. "John, make sure the civilians are evacuated from the nearby buildings. George, get those damn pails out here! Paul, get that freaking water! We need to extinguish this fire before it spreads!" He waved his arms emphatically around as he ordered his men to and fro. Suddenly, the door to the inn fell outward, burning on the inside-side. And who was standing in the doorway? None other than that very youth he'd captured the day before. Smiling evilly. With some odd black mark on his hand... Malcom paled. "You... you're a Devil. I should've known."

Saul stepped down the stairs slowly, setting fire where his feet came down. "Indeed, idiot. You should have. But you didn't. Which is why you're stuck in this position. And why Forsythe is about to lose its inn."

Malcom sneered. "Pfft, we'll get the fire put out, Devil Fire or otherwise."

Saul smirked. "I doubt you can put out all the pieces of the fire." And with that, he held out a hand. Malcom raised an eyebrow. "Pieces...?"

Saul snapped.

A huge rushing roar flew past the two of them as the inn exploded in a gigantic explosion. The pieces of burning wood flew out in every direction, a rushing wind swooshed past Saul's grinning face, eyes now pitch black with red pupils. "The Death of the World is at hand, and I am an instrument of that Death." And he turned, and walked away.

Malcom sank to his knees. "Wh-what..."

((I hope this is good enough for you Red, although it seems a bit cliche in my opinion.. x.x short notice and lack of planning I guess...))

Tamasa ran, looking over her shoulder nervously, and hurrying onward, never allowing herself to stop until she'd run a few miles down a river that had cut through the park. She bent over nervously, exhausted after the strain.

She hung over the dark waters, gazing into them, when the illusion of her own reflection was made apparent to her in its darkest of forms. The same dark figure with a demonic grin, and taunting eyes, but otherwise featureless reflection looked back to her.

"How much longer can you run from yourself, I wonder.." came the voice.

"Why won't you go away?!" Tamasa stammered nervously

"I've already explain; I am you, and you are myself. There is no denying the mark of the devil, residing on the back side of your hand." the creature spoke.

"But I can make you go away right?! Make some self resolution, that will make everything better?!" Tamasa asked in a near-begging voice.

"We can only ever coexist; I am you and can only be relinquished by your own death. Can you come to terms with that? When will you accept yourself in your truest form?"

Tamasa stared back at it blankly, her hand solemnly reached in front of her, the reflection following her every motion, until she'd touched fingertips with the water's surface. An indescribable sensation surged through her as she tore away the contact and clawed at her own reflection, splashing the water up around her.

Her reflection had altered to a much misconstrued appearance that she wouldn't have allowed to return regain shape in her presence, as she pushed away from the water, and staggered against a tree, holding onto it nervously, still panting.

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?" a voice asked, as she cautiously turned, "Shouldn't you be at home, where it's safe?"

She observed two guys has made an appearance, and the fear built up inside of her.

"Leave'er alone Rod..." another guy sighed.

"I'm not hurtin'er, am I?" the other had asked, staggering towards her.

"Rodney, I said let her be." the guy moved to put himself between them.

"Git'outta the way Paulie." the other guy responded to that motion.

The man who'd come to be known as Paul, ignored him, "C'mere kid, he's a little drunk, dunno what he's doin'..." he reached out towards her.

She pushed him away with all her strength "Don't touch me!" she snapped, looking up as the contact with him made his eyes turn black and he fell to the ground without another motion more.

"Ey! You're stronger den you look girlie!" The other guy said, assuming the guy had just passed out.

Tamasa backed up, nervously; scared. "Who are you?"

"Just your reg'lar ever'day guy," he replied, but without ceasing to near.

She curled up helplessly into herself on the ground, rocking back and forth, murmuring, "Go away.. Go away.. Go away.." over and over, weakly, unsure whether she spoke to the man, or to the reflection of herself she so deeply feared.

===

Mitsuye hurried out of the apartment and outside, "Tamasa!" she called, "Tamasa!" There was no reply. She was no where in sight.

"I wonder what happened..." Mitsuye said weakly, "I hope she's alright..." she took another look around her, without avail, before turning back to her apartment building, shaking with nervousness.

Shin was still wandering around the park from earlier, admiring the silence and calmness of his surroundings when he heard Tamasa in distress. He saw her, but she seemed too disturbed to notice him as he was about fifty to sixty feet away on the other side of the park, partially blocked by a giant fountain and some trees. Shin decided not to bother her at first, but then came a group of suspicious looking guys.

As they approached her and attempted to touch her, Shin knew they were up to no good. Shin suddenly felt a strange pulsation go through his body and the back of his hand began to sting. He looked down at it to see a strange mark, but quickly thought nothing more of it as the men continued to harass Tamasa. With confidence, Shin walked out and around from the large fountain and into the open. He approached the group of men surrounding Tamasa, his hands in his pockets of his jeans and his dress shirt partially unbuttoned.

"Hey! What do you guys think you're doing to the lady?" Shin protested loudly.

((So uh.. yeah totally feel free to god mode the baddies.. o.o in fact i encourage it..))

Tamasa glanced up suddenly, 'It's him..' she thought, instinctively clutching the marked hand.

The man glowered at the approach of another person.

"Who wants to know?" He asked, sneering at the other guy, his appearance obviously hostile and aggressive.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on January 22, 2010, 05:03:00 PM
Shin stepped closer. "Get away from her now." He asserted.

"Huhh? Why Don'tcha stay outta my business!" The overly aggressive man named Rodney shouted as he lunged at Shin with a clutched fist.

Shin was experienced in some variations of martial arts as a kid and fairly used to street fights on occasion, he was sure he could easily take this guy down. Rodney's fist flew to hit Shin's face, but was knocked away and swatted down by Shin's quick left hand and then striking Rodney in his mid section with a partially clutched fist with his right hand. This was all part of Shin's intention, but something was wrong.

The moment Shin had struck Rodney, the same similar pulsation shot through Shin's body. The back of Shin's hand stung like hot water. Shin's strike still connected but Shin's knuckles also emitted a strange static shock that volted into Rodney's body, sending him much further than Shin had expected.

"What the...?" Shin said to himself, a very confused look on his face as he held his right hand in his other hand tightly as the stinging slowly went away.

Rodney lay motionless ten feet away. Shin assumed he had knocked the wind out of him. Shin now turned to Tamasa. "Are you okay? Do you remember me?" He asked her.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on January 22, 2010, 05:35:44 PM
Tamasa glanced up at him nervously, "Y-yes.." she answered nervously still. Nothing seemed to ease the distress she felt within herself. "Thank you... For you know... helping..." she still seemed to tremble, despite the threat having left the scene; or at least the more apparent threat. Tamasa however, had not felt the threat had lifted at all.

She glanced at the two men on the ground, "Are they alright?" she asked cautiously.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on January 23, 2010, 06:52:32 PM
Shin shrugged, "I don't know." He went down low to offer Tamasa his hand, the hand that had stung and he had seen the mark on earlier. "Here, I'll help you up."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on January 24, 2010, 05:04:00 AM
Tamasa stared nervously at him, before reaching towards his hand nervously. Her eyes trailed, and to her own horror, the met up with the mark ever so similar to her own.

She recoiled, "Y-you have it too!" she stuttered, jumping to her feet. Her mind raced, she felt the urge to run and hide, yet at the same time wanted to remain and hope that another being with the same questionable thing occurring could help her struggle.

She backed away still unsure of herself.

He felt the heat and bright light from the flames on his back, and it burned him. Again, he understood. He was darkness, he needed to get to shade and fast. In mere seconds he had broken out into a sweat as he ran as quickly as he could to the cover of a nearby house where he could regain himself. As he was regaining himself he examined his body with his new eyes. Everything he saw was clear, clearer than he had ever seen himself in the day. As he moved further into the darkness, he noticed his eyesight get stronger as well as his other senses.
 
As he began to get used to the feeling of his new whole body, he heard the explosion and laughter come from the direction of the inn. He rushed around the corner to see the flames as they began to spread out amongst the near buildings and they began to burn as well. There was nothing he could do, the light weakened him too much. He hated the having to stand around and do nothing, but he had no choice.

He saw out of the corner of his eye, the man whom the guards had captured walking away from the scene. When he got into an area with more darkness Myougami approached him. "You, you did that. You destroyed the inn and set fire to the surrounding houses, people may die! How could you do something so monstro-" He stopped hid sentence as he noticed the mark on his hand.

A puzzled look came over Shin. "This?" He asked, looking at the mark. He studied it, contemplating whether it was there all day or not and where it came from. "I don't know anything about it. You have it too?" Shin asked. Before she could answer Shin stepped away from Tamasa since she appeared to be a little hesitant toward him as well. "Let's just go somewhere else and talk first." Shin suggested as he gestured for Tamasa to follow him for a walk.

Saul strolled casually down the street, listening to his Shadow tell him of the things he could do: generate light and heat from his body, generate flames from any part of his body, immunity to fire... Life was so much better now. And all that the Shadow asked for was Chaos; actions and mBrush your teeths as chaotic as the nature of flames themselves, used for Good or Evil. Murder was not needed, but not discouraged. (Heh, things just keep getting better and better...) he thought.

He turned a corner into a dark alleyway. New powers or not, attention was probably not the best thing in the world to garner at the moment. Once he was out of the town, he could head south, perhaps grab a car or a cab ride to Tatsu. Apparently, he was supposed to meet up with the other Devils and travel to a "Dark Shrine" to start some weird ritual that, when completed, would enshroud the world in darkness and fear... with the Devils sitting on the top.

As he chuckled quietly to himself, he became aware of someone stepping out onto a street he had just crossed. It was the man from the inn, the one who'd saved him. Saul felt a moment of sadness. This man had saved him, and here Saul had destroyed the inn in return. He smiled. Not that he really cared anymore. The world was his to destroy or let be now. "Myougami, was it? What brings you to this corner of town? Admiring my handiwork?"

"You, you did that. You destroyed the inn and set fire to the surrounding houses, people may die! How could you do something so monstro-" He stopped hid sentence as he noticed the mark on his hand.

Saul looked down at the dark mark upon his hand. "Oh, this? Yeah, apparently I'm evil. Go figure! Hehehahaha~" He looked down to Myougami's hand. All of his hair stood on end for a moment. The man's hand had a shining mark on it. The Shadow in Saul's consciousness bristled. (That there man... is one of your mortal enemies. One of the Chosen Ones from that legend I told ya about. He's got powers like yours, and he's gonna be loved by everyone for bein' a 'savior to mankind' or some stupid thing like dat. But why's he meetin' us back here in the dark...?) it said. Saul shrugged, eyes narrowing. "You're one of the Chosen Ones, huh. My sworn enemies. I oppose you with every fiber of my being. But it's rather dark back here, let me get a good look at the face of my enemy," he said, spawning a flame on each of his shoulders to give out some light.

"I don't want to go home!" she said quickly in response... "Let's just.. walk somewhere... I don't know where..." she replied. That last thing she wanted was for her family to know she was some evil insane being.

Kamden had spent that day teaching Kari how to surf, and by the end she still wasn't too good. She fell every time. By this time the two had already made it home, the night was prolonged, but they were used to staying up late. Kamden sat at his computer, the sound of clicking keys and buttons going, along with the sounds of whatever game he was playing. Kari was flicking through the channels bored with everything on the tv.

She sighed and rolled on her back, "Tonight is boring, and I am still sore from surfing."

"Haha, you mean falling." Kamden corrected.

"Riiight," Kari answered, "What'cha doin?"

"Playin a game." Kamden answered.

"Bet your losing!" Kari teased.

Kamden turned as the screened flashed that he lost. "Yep!" He yawned, stretching up his arms.

"What's that?" Kari asked.

Kamden looked at her, "What's what?"

Kari turned his hand over to look at it, "Wow Kamden!"

"What, what is it?" Kamden asked.

"You're a chosen one! That has to be the mark! Its exactly like they said in all the books!" Kari answered.

"What are you talking about? That's impossible... You're insane.."he replied inspecting his own hand.

"It is! That's amazing!" Kari replied, "But it's broken..."

"Great... I'm broken!" Kamden joked. "You're crazy, Kari.."

"Look! I have it too!" Kari exclaimed, not listening to him. "But mine's broken too..." she trailed off.

Kamden put his hand by hers, "It's like putting puzzle pieces  together," he though aloud.

"What does that mean?" Kari asked.

"I'm not sure..." Kamden replied, yawning again, "And I don't much care... I'm going to bed."

Kari whined, "But this is really cool!" she replied, "You're such a kill joy."

"Go to room..." he answered, "You can talk about how cool it is in the morning."

She sighed, "Fine, goodnight bro." she moped, heading out the door.

"Night sis," he answered, closing the door behind her, and flicking off the light so he could sleep.

She glanced up at him, "You... we... This isn't what I thought it would be..." her gaze followed her feet on the pavement, "How can I trust you? How can you trust me?" she feared him, but no more than she feared herself. She thought back to the question she had yet to reply, "Where ever is fine.." she answered finally.

"Ehhh..." Shin stammered. He didn't really know how to reply to Tamasa's worries. Shin still felt uneasy even after Tamasa proclaimed that she didn't care, he was worried for her. "Are you feeling okay? Can you walk?" Shin asked as he walked back closer to walk beside her. "I can carry you if you like. I mean... You don't look difficult to carry at all so..." Shin stammered again, but for a different reason.

"Ugh. That fire is bright. You, conjure fire?" He said moving away from the devil. Backing into the shadowed area of a nearby house. "It appears I made a mistake in helping you. And as an even unluckier fate, you are my weakness." As he stood in the shadows he felt his strength returning. "I'm afraid I must bid you farewell, I do hope we never meet again." He said as he turned and fled into the darkness towards the forest from where he came. He hated that he could not do anything to stop him, and if he tried he would surely die. 
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 14, 2010, 05:53:40 AM
Saul chuckled audibly when his would-be opponent fled the scene. "My element is his weakness? Seems these Chosen Ones aren't all they're cracked up to be, heh~"

He turned what he figured to be south, and started heading towards Tatsu. His Shadow had been telling him to head in a generally-southern direction, as he needed to go to the Devil's Altar in order to unlock more power, and begin a quest to unlock the altar itself. Really, he didn't give a crap what the prophecy was about unlocking the altar, he just wanted more power, and MORE POWER! He craved it... Having the ability to strike his enemies with impunity, especially when they didn't deserve his respect... THAT'S what power was for, to Saul. And getting to Tatsu was the first step. Apparently they had boats there that could take him where he wanted.... At least that's what he figured. Either that or he could meet up with another Devil or two on the journey. Already his Shadow was talking about it, a presence it felt, similar to its own.

More Devils awaited in Tatsu. Two already awakened, in fact. Saul smirked. This was getting easier by the second! With just an hour or two more of walking, he had reached the border of Tatsu. "Hm... I was closer than I thought..." he thought aloud. A border guard stood at a large gate, leaning against the wall. "Halt..." he said tiredly. "Who goes there."

Saul smiled cheerfully. "Just a young blacksmith looking to wander the district~" he said, trying his best to show his happy side. The guard's face took on a confused look. (Jeez this kid is creepy...) he thought. "Why at this time of night? ...wait who's that?" He craned his neck, looking behind Saul. A courier was running up the road as fast as his legs would carry him. "TERRIBLE NEWS!" he cried, upon reaching the gate. "A fire has been started in Forsythe! A BIG one!" He doubled over, catching his breath. "And- and... it was caused... by a Devil!" Saul frowned, covering up his right hand. Crap, this was bad timing; here he was, a Devil, about to sneak his way through a gate into a dark town, when a messenger runs up and says HEY BE CAREFUL OF DEVILS? Saul shook his head. The guard, meanwhile, was standing, jaw agape. "D.. did you say a DEVIL? That's impossible! That whole legend is just a bunch of hooey! ...right?" Saul smirked, hair bristling. "An ignorant fool..." he said under his breath. Unfortunately, the guard heard him. "WHAT?" he said, raising his weapon. "I will not stand here and let you," he pointed to the courier, "infest this town with some malarkey about a Devil, and you," he pointed to Saul, "to insult me." He stood in front of the gate. "You're not getting in."

Saul scowled. This simply wouldn't do. This was the only gate for miles. He lifted a hand, showing the Devil mark. "He's telling the truth, I'm afraid, heh heh heh~ I'm the one who set the town ablaze~" And with that, he punched the guard's face in, then whirled around and lit the courier on fire. "Now then... chaos, dismay, and misery. My work is done here~" And with that, he walked through the gate, into Tatsu. Hopefully he'd find those other Devils soon...

Kyla held her little sister, to whom currently slept, as she entered into Tatsu, strangely eying the fallen guard, not noticing the burnt corpse only a few feet away.

"He must have fallen asleep." Kyla said, bemused, "Tatsu should have better guards!" she joked, strolling into the town she'd been traveling towards. Her sister had fallen ill, and she was directed towards this town for pharmaceutical purposes. She had however arrived a bit later than she planned, with a lot of road ways being restrained or blocked off due to an urgent fire the set Forsythe ablaze.

She glanced around the sleeping town; very few were around at this time of day, but still a figure seemed to be wandering the streets. Not knowing which way to go, being unfamiliar with the area, she approached him.

"Excuse me, sir?" she questioned, hoping to draw his attention.

=====

Tamasa glanced at him, "No thanks, I'm fine! Just taken aback... You have the same mark I do... Have you seen... strange things? Heard voices?..." she asked, curious to know more about his experience with the apparent mark.

Shin and Tamasa were getting closer to Hikaku now and they conversed, but they still had a long ways to go before they got there. "Voices or seeing things, huh? Uhmm... Maybe felt something strange, but I haven't seen anything I don't think." Shin tried to explain. "Just try not to worry too much, things will work out."

Tamasa looked at him blankly, "How can't you worry about it? We're evil... Everyone will want us dead, and our jobs will be to make them all suffer... That's what devils do, right? Spread chaos and misery?"

Shin stopped to look at Tamasa. He then came in close to embrace her in order to calm her down.

(( I don't want to god mod. ))

Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 01:15:56 AM
((Its all good))

Tamasa forgot to breathe for a moment, before returning the embrace. He wasn't evil, she wasn't evil... all the misconceptions she'd learned all throughout her life were lies... Would anyone else know that? Would Mitsu know that? Mitsu.... She wouldn't see Mitsu after this, she wouldn't make her have to witness the dark soul that possessed her.

((Also we are in Tatsu; Kyla and Saul are both also in Tatsu, so they can meet up if we choose to go that route))

Saul was wandering the dark streets of Tatsu when he heard a voice behind him.

"Excuse me, sir?" [Kyla] questioned, hoping to draw his attention.

He stopped, and turned slowly to face the voice. (Hey now, remember, you gotta be friendly and stealthy, right?) the Shadow whispered inside his head. He nodded, and broke into a wide smile. "Yes, miss? Is there something I can help you with?"

"I'm not very familiar with this area, and I'm guess the pharmacy isn't open at this time, but do you know where I could find an inn?" she questioned the man.

Her sister still rested in the blanket, in her arms fast asleep.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 15, 2010, 04:36:06 AM
Saul scratched his head, thinking. "Uhm... no, no idea. I just got here from Forsythe about 10 minutes ago. Had a bit of trouble there just a few hours ago. They didn't like my idea for a bonfire, heehee~"

He lit a ball of flame in his hand. "You, however, seem like a nice person, so I'll try to help you find someplace to stay before I go on my merry way to make the world burn~"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 04:38:44 AM
Kyla lifted a hand from beneath the blanket and water sprinkled over the flame extinguishing it, "You shouldn't go walking about showing off those powers of yours, hot shot." she joked, as she shifted the weight of her sister to the other arm.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 15, 2010, 04:47:38 AM
Saul's jaw fell. "..."

(WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!) he scream-thought to the Shadow.

(I DIDN'T KNOW! She was masking her power somehow... Looks like she's the Devil of Water... I'm sure I don't have to tell you not to piss her off)

Saul closed his mouth, regaining his composure. "Well, I was unaware that I was in the presence of another esteemed Devil. My name is Saul Damien Xavier." He bowed deeply. "And to whom do I have the exquisite pleasure of speaking?" He smiled warmly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 05:05:37 AM
Kyla tilted her head, "How are you so sure I'm a devil?" she joked, "Kyla Mizuko," she answered, returned the gesture, with a pleasant smile.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 15, 2010, 05:15:29 AM
"How am I so sure? Well, for one, my inner darkness isn't screaming at me to try to kill you, heh. That's all I need to know, really. As to helping you, sure! I awakened earlier in Forsythe, started that fire, and was headed this way to find more Devils anyway, so perhaps we can find more on the journey! Strength in numbers, and all that."

(Hee~ Her spunkiness is kinda cute) he thought to himself.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 05:20:23 AM
"You're inner darkness couldn't even identify me, could it?" she retorted, poking fun, "I dunno how much I'd trust that evil little soul of yours." she twirled a lock of hear, starting to walk forwards a bit. "And sure, we can be travel buddies, sounds like fun!"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 15, 2010, 05:29:19 AM
(Oooo, she gotcha there~) Saul thought to the Shadow. (Shut it, now) it replied.

He turned as she walked up to him, and began walking, keeping pace with her. "So who's this little bundle?" he said, glancing at the girl in Kyla's arms.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 05:33:50 AM
"It's my little sister, Emmi.. She's the only reason I'm even here... crappy Hikaku pharmacies couldn't provide me with the medicine I needed to get her better, so I had to come here and your little fire delayed it due to the shutting down of common routes." Kyla explained, yawning.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 15, 2010, 05:48:09 AM
Saul flinched. "...oh. Sorry about that. I guess I got a little power-drunk. My crazy Shadow took over for a little bit and turned an inn into a giant bomb. Also I met one of the Chosen Ones; fortunately the one I met was the Chosen One of Darkness, and my light apparently burns him, so he ran off like a little wimp, heh."

He took another look at Emmi. "Hmmm... My Shadow's been trying to guide me to the other Devils, as I said; perhaps they're residents of Tatsu? Perhaps if we find them, they could tell us where to go!"

(Where are they, anyway?) he asked.  (Keep heading down this street, and turn right, then head down till you reach a large park. They're somewhere in that vicinity) it replied.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 07:17:49 AM
She smiled, "Nah, it's alright. We at least got here." she sighed, "I haven't run into other devils, or even chosen ones... Although I really haven't tried, even though I've been aware when I've gotten near to them.. seemed out of the way." she answered, "There's quite a few in Tatsu... all over... it's a busy little place though, so it would only make sense."

She strolled down the street beside him casually.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 15, 2010, 04:20:34 PM
Shin let go of Tamasa. "Are you okay now?" Shin asked in his most soothing voice he could. "You seemed really disturbed so I wanted to calm you down. I hope you're okay now." Shin said smiling.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 04:28:47 PM
"I'm alright." Tamasa confirmed, "It's a lot to take in... and that figure... that whatever it is... scares me.. I don't want to be a devil.." she trailed off.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 15, 2010, 05:32:51 PM
Shin sighed. He noticed a soda machine nearby and looked at it and then back at Tamasa. "You want something to drink?" Shin asked and started his way over to it. "I don't know about you, but I am who I am." Shin said as he reached the soda machine and started examining the different flavors. "What kind do you want? I like almost all these."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 15, 2010, 05:39:01 PM
Tamasa tilted her head, "Uhmm.. orange is my favorite.." she replied skeptically. "I guess you're right..." she muttered as an afterthought.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 16, 2010, 04:16:44 AM
Saul strolled next to Kyla, amazed at how easygoing she was. Then again, she WAS the Devil of Water, so perhaps her nature was tied into the easy flow of a stream. He was so caught up, in fact, with her easy talking, that he nearly jumped when his Shadow materialized next to him. (Hey, you're gettin' pretty close to tha other two Devils. Keep goin' on this street and you'll find 'em eventually.) it said.

Saul conveyed the news to Kyla and started keeping an eye out for the other pair. "Man, I wonder what these other Devils are like, anyway~ If they enjoy their powers or are scared by them, how powerful they are, how friendly they are..." He sighed. "So what's your story? Did anything particularly special happen when you awakened?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 16, 2010, 04:24:21 PM
Shin inserted coin money into the soda machine and pressed the orange button twice so two orange sodas would come out. He waited a moment but nothing happened. Shin looked at Tamasa blankly. "Ehhh..." Looking slowly back to the soda machine, Shin tapped the machine lightly with his fist which did nothing. He then pressed the buttons again and still nothing happened.

"Uhmm..." Shin stammered. He felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time something actually went wrong for him when he was in front of this girl. He felt compelled to make her feel like everything was alright so he was obligated to get her drink.

"Stupid thing." Shin said and kicked the matter hard on it's side which wobbled the machine but still did nothing. Shin sighed. "Sorry, it doesn't seem to want to work." Shin apologized. "The dumb thing is broken." Shin stated and at the moment Shin flicked the soda machine and suddenly an electric shock was produced from his finger tip and zapped the machine. The lights on the machine flashed and flickered and soon after many soda cans started pouring out of it uncontrollably.

"Ermmm... Did I do that?" Shin asked blankly to Tamasa who was watching him like he was a clown.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 16, 2010, 11:01:30 PM
((Shh! My God moding senses are tingling!))

Tamasa stared blankly for a moment the fear surging through her a moment more, "How did you do that?!" she questioned, startled.

===

Kyla turned her head to the side, "My story? There really isn't one to tell; I found the mark, and the answers just came to me, curiosities and misunderstandings were easily resolved with thorough thinking... I can feel when others are near, and so and such, and some of the powers I have I know how to use without really putting much effort forth... who woulda thought, huh?" she walked on, "What about you? Whats your story?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 17, 2010, 12:01:59 AM
Saul sighed slightly. "Well, all I did was find some work in Forsythe. That's what started it off. See, way back when, I was an apprentice of a man known only as Smith, who apparently was one of the best blacksmiths in town. Once there was this local hero that drove off a bunch of bandits, and he demanded services for free. Smith had heard, however, that all the guy'd done was pay them off, and sent them to go ransack other towns, which he didn't like, so he said no, the guy'd have to pay for it. This guy went berserk and killed my master, and told the guards Smith'd tried to kill him for no good reason; they therefore think anyone affiliated with him is evil. I was just minding my own business earlier yesterday, when the head guard came out and arrested me for having been trained by this guy 10 years ago. The Chosen One of Darkness came out, said his name was Myougami something-or-other, and had them take me to an inn. I awakened around midnight and set the thing on fire, then turned it into a bomb, and strolled out. I met up with this Myougami fella, drove him away by making a bit of light, and walked over here to Tatsu. Got my way past the guard at the front gate without killing him, and then I met up with you." He took a breath. "And you know pretty much everything else, heh."

He felt a weird buzzing in his head for a second, which stopped as suddenly as it started. He glanced at Kyla. "Did... did you feel that?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 17, 2010, 12:43:52 AM
(( It wasn't god modding, it was an assumption made from Shin's point of view. =P ))

Shin wore an expression of confusion, but he didn't seem too worried. "I'm not too sure, but it was broken anyway." Shin replied with a slight chuckle as he picked up some of the sodas and handed one to Tamasa which was orange flavored. "Just make light of situations like this. Haha." Shin laughed. "But I don't think we want to be around. We might get blamed for it."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 19, 2010, 02:51:39 AM
((A tad bit of god modding included, Addy said it was okay :D))

Saul suddenly stopped at a street corner. "Seriously, where are these other two Devils? My Shadow said they'd be around here somewhere, but I haven't felt anything other than that little jolt earlier. This is starting to get annoying...."

Kyla yawned slightly. "Well, as long as we're busy waiting around, how about we get some sodas?"

Saul simply glared at her for a moment, then sighed. "Sure, fine, I'll pay for them..." He looked around for a vending machine, and noticed one down a few blocks. There was a pair of people standing next to it. "Hey, look, people! Maybe they'll know where to find the inn!" He walked with Kyla down to the vending machine, eyeing the pair. A young man and a frightened-looking young woman. "...do either of you know where the nearest inn is located?" he asked, looking back at Kyla.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 19, 2010, 03:00:05 AM
Kyla glanced at the two, "Saul!" she replied quickly, feeling the energy coming off the two, and realizing at once they were devils, "It's them!"

Tamasa backed up, the same energy reaching her and the uncertainty. She glanced at Shin, moving nearer to him at the approach of these others. "Them?" she murmured softly."

Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 19, 2010, 03:29:31 AM
Saul simply stopped talking and smirked at the pair in front of him. "Ah, so we finally meet. I am Saul Damien Xavier. I assume you two are Devils? I am the Devil of Fire." He bowed. "I am pleased to make your acquaintance."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 19, 2010, 03:32:25 AM
Tamasa's eyes widened.

"Water Devil," Kyla introduced vaguely, yawning.

At this point Tamasa was backing up, losing her balance and tripping, nervously. How did they find her? Why? All these thoughts clouded her brain, as she looked to Shin for response.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 21, 2010, 06:29:45 PM
Shin looked at the two new figures. "Uhmmm, hello. Can I help you?" Shin asked politely. He still had several cans gathered in his hands. He talked over to the new people and offered them some soda. "Want one? We sort of have a lot." Shin laughed.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 21, 2010, 11:58:49 PM
Saul smirked as the other person spoke up. "Ah, thanks. ...you seem to be taking the Awakening rather well. This girl here looks kinda freaked out, if you ask me; I can totally understand! Gaining new and frightening powers, having an inner manifestation of your soul talk to you... It's exciting! Even a bit fun, heh heh heh~" He turned to look at the smoke coming from the north.

((xD Haha @ FW's trollin xD))

Kyla took a soda herself, "Like any of it matters..." she replied, shifting the weight of her sister to one arm, using the marked hand to hold the can. "It's not anything to go lighting cities on fire over." she kidded.

Tamasa stared at them all, silently. They really did take it well. How?! How could you take something like that well?!!
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 22, 2010, 12:12:31 AM
"It's not anything to go lighting cities on fire over." she kidded.

Saul glanced at her. "Hey, I was just havin' some fun; the only people who got hurt completely deserved it." He turned back to Tamasa. "Now then... what's wrong? You're bein' really quiet." His gaze softened. "Are you alright?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 22, 2010, 12:17:57 AM
"Well you made everyone aware of our awakening... we coulda gotten a head start, but now everyone is fully aware the awakening is in process and that means less advantage." Kyla replied with a huff, "Oh well, right? It's like a game! A race to the finish!"

Tamasa glanced at Saul, "I-I..." 'am having trouble speaking...' Tamasa's mind completed the statement. "Uhm..." she looked at the ground, hiding her face, as her bangs fell in the way to help hide her in their shadow.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time

Tamasa glanced at Saul, "I-I..." 'am having trouble speaking...' Tamasa's mind completed the statement. "Uhm..." she looked at the ground, hiding her face, as her bangs fell in the way to help hide her in their shadow.

Saul smiled warmly, and patted Tama lightly on the head. "Look, I'm not sure what you've lost, be it friends, family, or whatever, because of your Awakening, and I'm not saying you should forget them, just know one thing: we're all in this together, like it or not. We're here for you, okay? So don't worry~"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 22, 2010, 01:01:54 AM
Tamasa glanced up at him shyly, "Ehmm... Thank you..." she replied.

Kyla smiled, "Hot shot's bein' sweet?" she poked fun, "How cute!" she giggled as the looked up at the sky, as it grew more light.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 22, 2010, 02:37:14 AM
Saul felt his face grow warmer as he blushed. "I-I'm just tellin' it how it is, is all. I mean, we're pretty much family now, right? It just makes sense that we'd help out our own."

"Speakin' of which, we should probably find somewhere to stay for the day, or night, or whatever. Maybe us four bein' in the same place will give out a strong enough presence for the other Devils t'follow, and they could meet us here. Or we could find a boat to take us south. My Shadow keeps tellin' me about this Shrine we gotta go to." He smiled deviously. "I vote for someplace to stay, get to know each other, etcetera and all that."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 22, 2010, 06:19:28 AM
((*yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn*))

"Here here!" Kyla replied, "To an inn!" she followed this with a yawn, then glanced down at her sister. "Inn-burning devils had me walkin all night, now, so c'mon guys!" she urged.

Tamasa glanced at the others, not knowing if she should trust them, but if not for only the moment allowed her instinct to say yes and guide them to an inn. "There's an inn not too far from here," she offered, "Its about two blocks north and then another three blocks west, so it's a bit of a hike, but not too far off." She gave a glance in Shin's direction.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 22, 2010, 07:42:38 PM
Shin stood and was silent the entire time everyone spoke and looking rather confused. "Uhhmmm... Awakening?" Shin asked with a smile and a clueless expression on his face. He chuckled a little and looked at each person around him including Tamasa. "I think I'm just as confused as you are."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 22, 2010, 08:06:45 PM
Tamasa glanced up at him, "You don't even know what it is do you?" she replied seemingly not entirely there. "The awakening... its mostly prophesy... but its been known to be fulfilled once every so many years, where 8 souls of supposedly
chosen ones, and then 8 devils souls that harbor in the bodies of 8 people they pick, probably at random, until the time comes that the world must be rejuvenated. We're the evil guys... The ones everyone wants dead... The ones whose mission is to detsroy everything we've grown to love..." she mulled over it. "We're evil." she ended finally.

Kyla glanced at her, "Eh, you put too much thought into it..." she trailed off with disinterest.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on February 22, 2010, 10:26:36 PM
Shin stared blankly as Tamasa explained. "I'm still myself though." Shin responded very bluntly. "I don't know about all this stuff, I don't think it really concerns me."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 23, 2010, 09:15:09 AM
"Oh," Saul said. "That's why you're taking it so well. You haven't had anyone try to kill you yet." He turned to Tama and sighed. "Look, Tamasa... Don't think of it as destroying everything you've come to love, but rather a rebirthing of the world, one where we will eventually have the power to shape the world. If you want, when we succeed, we can help you make everything the way it was. It won't be perfect, but it'll be similar. That'd be good, right?" (Man, I'm grasping at straws here.) he thought.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on February 23, 2010, 01:18:40 PM
"We are chaos." she ended with no more words or ideas to change it. "Power will madden us. It already has started to." Tamasa glanced away, feeling a twinge of anger growing. Not at them, but at herself and her fears. It was a passing mood swing, she'd decided. 'I don't know what to do...' she thought, continuing to lead them in the direction of nearest inn.

Kyla followed her, listening to the conversation with less input than the others. At the end of Tamasa's statement she glanced in her direction sharply. "You are chaos. Get over it and you won't end up killin' yourself." she stated bluntly. She felt the conversation was pointless and there was nothing that could be said to change Tama's mind by this point. She simply sighed, allowing for the moment to pass her by, and glanced at the lights of the inn; a large building, several stories high, and a cozy seeming lobby, behind large glass windows.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on February 23, 2010, 01:40:44 PM
Saul sighed as Kyla handled the conversation quickly. He took stock of his current comrades: a confused guy who didn't understand what was going on, a young girl who was afraid and scared, and a girl who simply didn't care. (Quite the motley group we've got here,) he said to his Shadow. (Yeah, you kids are lookin' pretty rag-tag there, heh!) it laughed back. (Don' worry 'bout it, everythin'll be fine soon.)

Post by: Red on February 23, 2010, 04:25:11 PM
Shin opened a can of soda and drank it in one go with the aftermath of a long and overly loud grunting sigh after chugging too much at once without breathing. "My name is Shin, by the way." Shin introduced quickly and then opened another soda. "Anyway, what do you want to do, Tamasa?" Shin asked her. He didn't really care about what was going on except Tamasa.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Daggron13 on February 25, 2010, 08:18:30 AM
The next day Daggron went to his class for the tournament of their final class.
“Good morning students” Daggron said as the kids walked in the room
“Good morning sensei” the kids said as they took their seats
“I hope you all are ready for the tournament” Daggron said standing up
“Yes sensei” the class said rhythmically
“Alright then get your practice swords and get started the tournament board is up on the wall” Daggron said as they all got ready for the tournament. Daggron then watched the kids have duels, and how the tournament moved smoothly.
“This is great.” Daggron said watching the finals as one of the students fell down defeated.
“Victory is mine” a boy said holding his practice sword to the fallen kid
“Ouch you didn’t have to hit so hard Koi” the girl said
“You have no place holding a sword” Koi said walking away
“Koi you must always respect an opponent, now help her up!” Daggron yelled at Koi
“She can help herself up.” Koi replied with a grunt
2 of the students helped the girl up from the ground. Daggron went over to her.
“Are you ok?” Daggron said brushing off the dirt from her uniform
“Yes sensei, thanks.” The girl replied cheerfully
“You all may go to master Shinsei tell him you all have past. Koi if you will be so kind to stay behind”
The kids left without a word. Koi moved closer to Daggron.
“Koi what’s wrong? Is there something bothering you?”
“It’s none of your concern!” Koi snapped
“Alright then you can go.” Daggron said turning around and walking away. Koi walked towards the group of kids standing outside the main dojo. Daggron’s father came out with a few other people.
“Students this is a glorious day! You all have passed your first exams! Such a triumph will not go unnoticed! You all will be awarded medals for your work!” Daggron's father then motions the people besides him, and they all started awarding medals to the students. After an hour or so the students and staff left the grounds.
“Daggron you did a terminable job this year! And for that I have a new sword for you.” He moves over to a shrine of a god. He then picks up a sheathed falchion.
“You’re not serious are you?” Daggron said in shock.
“This isn’t a joke, Daggron; I would like to present to you the last of the 13 swords of chaos…. Divine Vengeance.” He said handing the sword to Daggron.
“Thank you master… I… I don’t know what to say” Daggron said taking the sword.
“You can say good night, because I’m going to bed. Goodnight…. Son” And with that Daggron’s father walked towards his room.
“I should show this to Kelly.” Runs toward the cliff that’s about 2 miles away, but he makes it there in 7 minutes. He walks up to the grave then notices there is someone is sitting on the rock next to it looking out to the sea.
“Hey who are you?” Daggron said walking closer to the mysterious figure.
“Well about time you got here, Tee Hee I’m surprised you don’t recognize me.” The figure said in a sweet comforting voice.
“It can’t be!?! But you’re!!!! YOU’RE DEAD!!!” Daggron said holding his head in pain.
“I am dead, and no you’re not insane. I’m here to show you the power that has been locked away in you for so long.” Kelly says turning around to see that she is like a shadow.
“What are you talking about?” Daggron said confused.
“Tee Hee that’s what I always like about you. I’m talking about your awakening silly.” Kelly said standing up
“I’m not a chosen one! How can I be when I couldn’t even save you!?!” Daggron said angrily looking at his fist.
“Oh you’re not the good awakened being. Just look at your hand.” She says motioning towards his hand
“What?” Daggron says looking at his hand as a symbol glows a demonic red.
“You are the demonic awakened being of the wind.”
“The wind… heh… ironic isn’t it” Daggron said
“Yes it is!” Kelly started laughing almost demonically
“So it’s time to carry out my revenge? I will finally avenge your death.” Daggron said smiling evilly.
“Hey babe you have company coming. Your “father” is coming.” Kelly said with a sweet tone.
“Daggron what are you doing up here?” Daggron’s father walked next to him standing next to the cliff.
“Father…if you had to take a chance to get revenge for something that you lost dearly…would you do it?”
“Daggron…why do you live in the past? What happened in the past is in the past. You can do nothing to change the fact that it is lost.”
“I live in the past because that is the only place I can stay without the pain of the present.” Daggron said glaring at the moon and began walking towards the cliff stopping just at the edge.
“You need not worry for something that has already been done. Just move on in life, and keep moving forward.” Daggron’s father walked beside him and put a warm hand on his shoulder.
“The past isn’t meant to be forgotten...but to be remembered.” He replied looking down.
“Daggron…don’t do something you’re going to regret.” He said looking more concerned.
(“Daggron…he knows too much…he will try and stop your revenge…he will warn the people and they will try and kill you.” Kelly said inside of his head)
“I’m sorry father but this is where our conversation comes to an end.” Daggron said
“Wha-“Before Daggron’s father could respond Daggron pushed him off of the cliff.
“Time to get started…down the path of vengeance.” Daggron said walking towards the port.
(“We have to find other devils or head to the shrine. I can sense a couple of them in Tatsu. If we hurry and get a boat we can be there tomorrow and give them a lift.” Kelly said in a flirting tone of voice.)
“There is no time to find a captain that’ll sail us. I’m just going to take on and leave. As much as I hate to admit it I will need the other devils help.” He said arriving at the Isle’s port.
“I’m not sure which one I should take.” Daggron said walking down the port looking at the ships.
(“I like that one.” She motioned towards a black ship with red sails and other accessories.)
“That is one big boat.” He said
(“Ya but think of what it could withstand if we were attacked.” Kelly said, “Plus it has both our favorite colors and it looks better than the other boats here.”)
“Hemph fine this one will do.” He said getting on the ship. “It’s time to set sail towards Tatsu.” He said conjuring up a powerful wind blowing towards his destination. The boat came alive and began to speed up along with the wind.
(“Very good! I see your getting used to your powers.” Kelly said with an evil glee.)
“That should get us there by morning.” Daggron said increasing the speed and power of the wind making the boat go unbelievably fast.

((All of this is happening at the same time as pretty much all the rest of the stuff going on right now.))

“Yuu…..I understand.” Sho said while choking back some tears “I need to stop being selfish, the world needs you.” He embraced his daughter. “Now I’ll prepare an escort for you to Keigwin, from there you can take a ship to Isle.

“Thank you father, I’ll miss you so much.” Yuu began to cry as she said her goodbyes to her father.

---

(Heeey, wake up!) Screamed Ren’s inner self.
 
Ren silently acknowleged the voice so he could keep it from screaming in his ear again.

(Good now that you’re paying attention. I can feel other devils in Hikaku so we should begin making our way there. Hell we might even be able to meet up with them on the way there since they should be heading in this direction.) his mind suggested.

Ren understood what he needed to do. He began walking northwest towards Hikaku to meet up with those who would be his allies.

"My name is Shin, by the way." Shin introduced quickly and then opened another soda. "Anyway, what do you want to do, Tamasa?" Shin asked her.

"Y-you're asking me?" she questioned, "I don't know, uhmm.. ask the others.." she trailed off.

Kyla stared at them, "I say we get rooms, girls in one, and guys in the other, then either get to know each other or go to bed. I for one am exhausted."

"Ah, sorry. I just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was ignoring you." Shin explained quickly. He didn't want Tamasa to think about him negatively for some reason. He liked her and was hoping she liked him too.

"Well, I'm all for getting sleep." Shin replied to Kyla.

Saul nodded. "Just one thing... does anyone here have money to pay for rooms? Just a thought."

He looked up at the moon.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 08, 2010, 06:00:56 AM
Tamasa approached the counter, "Two rooms please." she asked, using the hand without a mark to place money on the counter. She turned to the group, "My family is wealthy; from the upper district. This isn't too expensive." she replied, as she handed off a room key to Shin.

Kyla grinned, "Aright! Free room! Lets'go kiddo!" she encouraged Tamasa to hurry along.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 08, 2010, 07:35:00 AM
Shin accepted the key from Tamasa, smiling and then turned to Saul who he didn't know very well. "Just so you know, I'm a light sleeper." Shin said bluntly to him.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time

Saul smirked. "Good, you'll live longer. I, on the other hand, sleep like a rock." He chuckled. "Hopefully I won't bother you. It would be rather annoying if I unintentionally made an enemy of my new brother, heh."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 09, 2010, 01:24:05 AM
"Brother, huh?" Kyla grinned, following along, "C'mon sis!" she said to Tamasa, leading the way.

Tamasa glanced at Saul, then Kyla, then Shin, and back to Kyla. "Uhmm... alright... Goodnight then." she bowed to the other two, politely, and followed after Kyla.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 09, 2010, 07:41:22 AM
Shin walked casually down the quiet deserted hallway trying to find their room, key in hand. "So, why is it you're treating us like family when we just met? And what do you really wish to accomplish with all this?" Shin asked Saul who he assumed was following behind him. Shin found the correct room number and started fidgeting to open it.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 11, 2010, 03:06:39 AM
Saul stretched as he walked behind Shin. "Well, we're technically family now. Our Devil souls were all implanted at the same time, right? So we were all 'born' at the same time, destined to be together and all that. We probably work well together, and that Tamasa chick seemed pretty freaked out, so I figured I should put this new situation in a way she could understand and not, like, try to kill me over. Does that make sense? Iunno."

He sighed a little, a small puff of smoke coming out. "Heh... So what powers do you have, anyway?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 11, 2010, 03:46:43 AM
Tamasa clicked the key, as the pins clicked out of place, and the door flicked open. Kyla shifted in before her, resting her sister down on the bed.

Then small girl stirred and  glanced up, her eyes barely open, "Sist...." she trailed off.

"Shhh, go back to sleep." Kyla cooed, placing a hand over her sister's forehead, and sighing. "Still feverish." She moved over to a small fridge, and opening it for ice. There were wash clothes in the bathroom she used to hold the ice and placed the makeshift ice pack over her sister's forehead, to whom had already fallen asleep again.

Tamasa glanced over, "Is she going to stay with us?"

Kyla glanced over, "Well I can't abandon her."

"I just meant it's probably not going to be a very child friendly trip..." Tamasa continued. "Can't she stay with her parents?"

"What parents?" Kyla recoiled.

Tamasa fell silent. "Sorry..." she said after a few moments.

Kyla smiled, "For what?"

The other girl looked up, confused, "Uhmm.."

"We're sisters now, no need to be so nervous all the time. You take life too seriously, that's your problem!" Kyla continued on, laying beside her sister in the bed, as Tamasa sat on the unoccupied bed in the room.

"Maybe..." Tamasa fell silent again and lied back, staring at the ceiling until she could hear the even breathes from Kyla, to which she assumed had already fallen asleep. Soon enough she too has fallen victim to her own subconscious mind.

Post by: Soloxius on March 12, 2010, 04:34:58 AM
Saul looked confused. "I felt something, like, I dunno, a feeling that a Devil was nearby for a moment earlier. Did anything unusual happen just before we met up with you and Tamasa?" He laid down upon one of the beds, making an ember dance over his fingers, smiling at it.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 12, 2010, 02:01:02 PM
Shin thought for a moment, moving his closed mouth to the side and touching his pointer finger to his mouth as he did so. "Hmmm... I rescued her from to drunk people but they went unconscious. And then I broke the soda machine somehow..." shin trailed off.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 13, 2010, 12:38:04 AM
Saul scratched his chin. "Broke the soda machine? Made some guys lose consciousness? Hmmm... could be any number of things. I guess we'll have to see some other time. We should just make sure we figure it out at some point. We'll have those Chosen Ones on our tails at some point soon, and knowing which one to go against and which one to avoid would probably be a good thing to know." He snuffed out the ember's existence, and started drawing on the wall. "Iunno... maybe this could work..."

He turned to Shin. "Back when I was in Forsythe, my Shadow told me that drawing this symbol helped me concentrate my power into a specific place." He held up his right hand, the black mark prominent upon the back. "Maybe if you drew it somewhere, you might be able to summon your power, or something. Meh, do what you want, I guess."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 14, 2010, 05:07:37 PM
Shin watched as Saul controlled a flame at his finger tip. Shin was very interested in it and impressed. Shin studied the symbol for a moment and then walked over to one of the beds the room had supplied them with. He laid down on his back and put his arms behind his back.

"Who knows. I'm not even sure if I'm even one of these people you're talking about." Shin said honestly. "Anyway, let's get some sleep. I'm pretty tired from walking all day."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 15, 2010, 02:57:26 AM
Saul rolled over on the bed and closed his eyes. "Yeah, I hear ya man. Seeya in the mornin'."

(Well now...) his Shadow said quietly. (You fellas and girls are sure off to a great start~ The world is doomed, heh.) Saul smiled in his sleep.

((OTAY!!!))

"Sister.." the child sat on her legs, on the bed, beside her sister, nudging her gently. "Sister." Her voice wasn't very strong, but she seemed to be in a better condition than the previous night.

Kyla rolled over, glancing at her sister, and across the room, at an empty bed. Her first thought was that Tamasa abandoned the group, but then the bathroom door opened, and she emerged wrapped in a towel.

"Good morning!" Kyla chirped, bringing the little girl's attention to the unfamiliar face.

"Morning." Tamasa said softly.

Kyla walked into the bathroom, combing her hair and taking a deep breath. "They have continental breakfast here, did you want to go see what they had?"

Tamasa glanced in the direction of the bathroom, still being watched by the young child. "Uhm, alright." She was being brief this morning.

Kyla walked back into the room as her sister climbed down from the bed. She took the girl's hand. "C'mon sis!" she said as she moved out the door.

"I'll be down in a moment, after I get dressed." Tamasa replied.

"See ya then!" and Kyla and her little sister vanished from the doorway.

Tamasa lingered in the room, staring at the mark on the back of her hand, now red and tender from a poor attempt to scrub it away. She had no idea what she looked like, she stayed as far from the mirror as possible, but even so she dressed and brushed her hair, tying it back in its usual fashion. At that she moved away to meet up with Kyla in the dining room.

She again covered her hand with the other, the soft throb from tender skin reminding her it was still there.

((Hey guys, miss me?))

He traveled south-west in the direction of Keigwin, after fleeing from the monster in Forsythe he couldn't help but be angry at himself. He was unable to do anything, unable to help anyone. In his anger he picked up speed, and spent all his time thinking to himself and being angry and he moved quickly through the forest to Keigwin, reaching it in only a few hours. (around the same time Saul reached Tatsu)

He walked around staring blankly at the buildings around him. He did not know why he had gone there, he just felt compelled to travel there. Being the dead of night, he decided he ought to find an inn and sleep for the night. He traveled in the direction that his body forced him, hoping that it would lead him to an inn. When he finally stopped he was not infront of an inn, but infront of a house. And the closer he got to the house, the stronger the pull towards it was. He stepped right up to the door and stood in front of it staring. Wondering what he was doing there he was about to turn away when his curiousity got the better of him. He'd already come this far, why not find out what was behind door number 1? He knocked on the door 3 times, and waited for a response...
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 16, 2010, 09:04:19 PM
((Of course =D))

Kari had been first awake, always being an early bird. She twirled around, "Someone's at doooor!" she chirped in a singsong voice. She raced on over and flung the door open, glancing at the unfamiliar face.

Kamden came out from his room, in just some sweatpants, rubbing his eyes sleepily, "Why are you being so loud so early?" he groaned.

"Some weirdo is at the door!" she chirped again, merrily.

Kamden shook his head at the impolite response from his sister, giving way to a smile, "Hey weirdo," he waved. "Can we help you?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on March 17, 2010, 02:45:00 AM
((Yay =D))

"My apologies, I did not mean too wake you. I do not know if you can help me, I don't even know why I'm here. I just felt compelled to come here." He stood there with a blank look on his face as he looked between the two of them and wondered what had drawn him to them, before he looked down at his hand and it all of a sudden hit him. "Of course!" He raised his hand with the mark of the chosen one and showed it too them. "Is one of you a chosen one as well? That would explain why I was compelled too come here."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 17, 2010, 02:54:41 AM
Kamden hung his head, "Had everyone lost their minds?!"

Kari lit up, "I TOLD YOU! WE ARE CHOSEN ONES! We're just broken is all!" she tugged him into the room by the hand, "C'mon, I made breakfast!"

Kamden cleared his throat, "I want to make something perfectly clear here." he started, "One. Its too early for non sense. Two. Kari, you are way to energetic in the morning. Three. We are NOT chosen ones. Four. I'm going back to sleep."

Kari blinked in his direction, "But you caaan't!!" she whined, "You have to come adventuring with us to find the others!"

"No." he stated flatly.

She frowned, "At least have breakfast with us!"

"You and an armed wierdo that randomly showed up at our door with a crazy vibe?" Kamden answered, walking away.

"Kamden stop!" Kari called, as a strong gust of wind forced him back, to answer to her bidding. He fell backwards, wide eyed.

"K-Kari!" he started, loudly.

"Wow! Did I do that?! That's amazing!" Kari grinned. A moment of silence passed, and her attention was brought back to her previous mind frame; "BREAKFAST TIME!" and she skipped off into the kitchen, leaving Kamden stunned beside the stranger.

He was lost for words amongst the commotion of the two bickering siblings, so he stood there silently until they were finished and the boy ended up on the ground. He wasn't entirely sure what had happened but he offered a hand to the boy "Breakfast would be a good idea. A chance to think things over. Also how terribly rude of me, my name is Myougami. May I ask for yours?" He ask directing the question at both of them.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 17, 2010, 03:16:46 PM
Kamden glanced up, "Uh, Kamden." he answered, accepting the offered hand, giving a clear view of the broken emblem. "And you're no more rude than she is." he gave way for a slight smile.

Kari set plates down on the table, smiling back at them, "It's nice to meet you! I'm Kari!" she grinned, moving back into the kitchen to get prepared food. Bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, home fries, and waffles crowded the table.

Kamden sat down, "Someone's in a good mood." he mentioned, observantly, although the cheerful nature she displayed was quite obvious.

"Yep!" she answered, glancing back at Myougami, "Feel free to help yourself."

Kamden glanced at the stranger again, "May I ask why you carry those weapons on you?"

Kamden glanced at the stranger again, "May I ask why you carry those weapons on you?"

He reached for a plate and put an egg, some bacon and two sausages on it. He sat the food in front of him "I'm a hunter." He stated simply. He removed the naginata from his back and leaned them on the wall. He also removed his bow and quiver and placed them next to the naginata. "I hunt with the bow, i skin with a knife. The pole arms are for when i rest. If an animal sneaks up on me, I like a long weapon to keep them at bay." He picked up his knife and fork and began to eat the food in front of him.

"Hunting, huh?" Kamden commented, filling his plate up. "Sounds interesting."

Kari glanced at the small plate, "You don't want anything else? You can have as much as you want, ya know."

"You might as well, what isn't eaten usually goes to waste." Kamden mentioned.

"There isn't usually anything left, Munchies." she replied.

"Hey, what can I say, I like food." he replied, smirking.

Kari glanced at Myougami, "So you have the mark too, huh?" she turned towards him. "Can I see? Kamden and I both have one, but... They are broken I think."

((I'll take care of it, I guess; same sort of scene as Addy's... kind of. You'll see :B))

Saul woke with a start, immediately shutting his eyes against the bright light streaming into the room. (Uff...) he thought. (I am NOT a morning person, still.....) He threw off the covers and stretched... suddenly realizing he wished to shower. He glanced at Shin's bed for a moment, then walked into the bathroom and locked the door, only then baring his chest.

Up and down his torso stretched huge scars, small scars, red scars, and white ones. From what, he didn't quite remember. "Ah well..." A quick ten minutes later, he stepped from the scalding water, skin an angry red color. His body cried in protest to the heat, but he didn't much care. Heat was his element now; he needed to start building up a better resistance to it. He wrapped a towel around his waist and opened the door to the bathroom, steam swirling out. "Ahhhh~" he sighed happily.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on March 18, 2010, 12:47:56 AM
"No thanks, i'm not a big eater." He held up his hand to show them his mark. "What do you mean broken? How can your mark be broken? Could you please show me your marking?" He ask them, confused and curious.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 18, 2010, 03:18:20 PM
"Yeah, broken." she replied, revealing the mark on her hand, that seemed to be lacking of pieces that were apparent on the other twin's hand.

"This is stupid..." Kamden muttered to himself, revealing his own mark, which too was only partially there.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 18, 2010, 08:05:52 PM
The sound of water awoke Shin. Saul seemed to be up and about as Shin looked over at his bed without him there. Shin sat up and looked around the room. What am I doing today? And why was I wish these people again? Shin thought to himself as he stood up out of bed. He stretched and then smelled himself to make sure he didn't smell that bad, he would have to wait his turn for the shower he assumed since Saul he guessed was already using it.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on March 18, 2010, 09:19:57 PM
He stared at both of the marks and noticed that where each mark broke the other picked up. They were the same mark but split in half. "Interesting. It seems your marks are connected, the soul of the chosen one is split between your two bodies." He sat and thought for a short while before stating "I'm going to suggest you two stay close together. Your power is probably stronger the closer you are too each other."


((It'd be creepy if it wasn't Saul who stepped out of the shower xD))
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 19, 2010, 10:30:49 PM
Kamden glanced back at the mark, with a frustrated sigh. "So you believe this garbage too?"

Kari smiled, "We're going on an adventure, brother!" He didn't reply and her expression grimaced, "Aren't we..?" she said quietly.

He looked up quickly, "Uh..." A stinge of guilt rushed through him.

"We've never even left Keigwin... Everyone comes here thinking its so great, with big wide eyes, like its the best place on the planet, but... After so long its all the same thing. Same beach, same boats, same busy streets and angry traffic, and blue skies." Kari muttered. "I don't want to live in mom and dad's shadows, they built up that park for the tourists and now they always have to spend their time there, and we have to spend all of our time here. Well we're old enough to go out on our own! To see what else is out there! We don't have to just stay here and wait until they both croak, to inherit some stupid park, and follow in their footsteps." She glanced up at him guiltily.

He stared back at her, startled. She'd never told him any of that, none of her disdain or distaste for Keigwin, for their parents' project, for the the life they'd always led. He gave a sigh, signaling he'd given in. "Fine," he replied. "I'll go.."

She smiled, "Yeah! It'll be fun!" she glanced back at the stranger. "You're going too?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on March 20, 2010, 04:03:14 AM
He stared at Kari with solemn eyes before answering "Of course I am going. There is some things I need to take care of myself, and can't hardly let you two go without an escort. As a hunter I have a great sense of direction, fighting ability and can track."

He looked back and forth between the two of them. "I feel like we need to head towards Tatsu.... But i'm not willing to go back the way I came. We'll have to travel through Aisuke. You have to prepare to leave with haste, I fear we do not have any time to waste."

Kari jumped up, "Alright, I'll go find Sushi!"

Kamden stared up at her, "Kari, you can't bring Sushi with us!"

"Why nooot?" She whined, "I can't leave Sushi all alone!!"

He sighed, "Great... now she is bringing Sushi with us...." getting up from his seat, "Could you excuse me?" he asked politely, before leaving to back his things.

Kari stuffed assorted items in her bag, a soft fleece throw, a stuffed animal, all sorts of clothes, and random items, before stuffing a wallet in her back pocket, and her phone in the other.

Kamden, being more tidy about his packed style, folded each article of clothing and placed it into his briefcase, alone with a few other things. He was a light packer. He also was provided a chance to change out of his sleep clothing and into something more presentable; jeans and a green basketball jersey.

They both emerged out of their rooms at about the same time, one with a kitten in her arms, and a drawstring bag over her shoulder, dressed in a pink summer dress, and the other with a briefcase over his shoulder and an eye on his watch.

Kamden closed and locked the door behind him, tucking his keys back into his pocket. "So..." Kamden started.

Kari picked up, "Did you just find out about being a chosen one?" she grinned.

"I did. It just happened all of a sudden, and it wasn't a good situation. During the time of my awakening I was near an devil, who awakened also and torched the inn where we slept. The bright light from the fire hurt me, and I was forced too flee, helplessly." He stared at his feet in disgust.

Saul stood awkwardly in the doorway, only clothed in a towel, his pale features showing off the multitudinous scars over his torso and arms, as he saw that his fellow Devil was awake. Steam swirled out of the door from behind him.

"Uh... good morning," was all he could manage. (DAMN I thought he would still be asleep) he thought to himself.

"So you have a weakness to light?" Kamden inquired as they walked down the two cement stairs that led to their door, and stepped down onto the sidewalk.

"That would mean you are the chosen one of darkness.. and.." she recalled back, "We must be air!" she grinned, "Because I knocked you down with that breeze." She poked her brother.

"Convenient timing, combined with poor footing and stance." Kamden excused himself. "It won't happen again."

She smiled, "Maybe!" she laughed, as she placed the kitten on the ground and ran on ahead of them, kitten following in suit, "Catch me if you can!"

Kamden smiled at his sister's childish nature, and raced on towards her, meeting up with her as she called back to Myougami, "C'mon!" she encouraged, racing ahead again.

He laughed to himself and raced ahead, easily overtaking both of them, getting some distance and stopping. "I thought this was a race? You're not going to win moving THAT slowly." He noticed he had been able to move faster than normal, and as he looked up he noticed that the day was overcast and it was not a very bright day out. He was sure he was the chosen one of darkness, which to him seemed contradictory and worrying, but he put it out of his mind.

Kari grinned, "Inhuman speed like that? I think someone is cheating!"

Kamden smirked back at his sister, "We can use our powers to our advantage too, ya know. If we are wind, then we have aerodynamics on our side; we can use the wind to give us a push forward, and to keep us from slowing down."

She glanced at him, "Really?"

"I'll show you," he picked up the winds, moving them against their new accomplish, working it to their advantage, moving forward at a faster speed, requiring less energy, "C'mon Kari! It's more effective if we both do it!"

Kari picked the breezes up too, as the wind was suddenly violent and strong, she raced forward, and grinned. Races like this were a lot more fun!

Shin stared blankly at Saul. "You done in there?" Shin asked with a tired expression as he gestured to the bathroom. The atmosphere between the two male devils in their group seemed to develop a strange relationship of just getting things done with and not really care about what each other do. That's how Shin was beginning to see it anyway as he didn't really mind what Saul did or thought as long as he didn't get too loud or nosy.

This whole devil thing is weird...

(He... isn't asking about the scars? Wow...) Saul thought. "Y-yeah, all yours," he said. "There might even be some hot water left, heh heh... yeah..." He walked to his bed and sat behind it on the other side as he dressed.

It was early morn when Daggron docked the boat into the port. The chill of the morning air caused the hairs on his neck to stand.  Daggron walked off of the boat and headed into town. The sun was just rising over the horizon, but the city was buzzing with people.
“I can’t find them.” Daggron said walking past a lot of random people. The people just stared at Daggron, they all looked away when he turned to meet there gaze.
(“They have to be around here somewhere just keep looking.” Kelly said a little impatient.)
“Hmm maybe if I start a commotion they will find us.” Daggron said considering what he would do to make them notice.
(“Now darling you don’t want to do that.” Kelly said in an almost saddened tone)
“Why not?” Daggron said stopping in the middle of a park.
(“Because then we’ll get those chosen ones on our tail.” Kelly said in a playful tone)
“Well then how am I supposed to find them?” Daggron said a little too loud and people started to stare at him.
(“Well first I can sense that they are close. Second, you need to me a little you know….sneaky around populated places. Just for safety reasons. Kelly said in an embarrassed tone)
 “Damn…hey can they sense me?” Daggron said sitting down on a park bench.
(“Well ya, but are you sure you just want to wait here?” Kelly said a little worried)
“Ya, we all are looking for each other so they are bound to find me sometime.” Daggron said looking up into the sky.
(“Oh ok! Hey it’s still early they are probably still asleep.” Kelly said pondering on their location.)
“Hemph…Well time is of the essence… they better hurry… before we fall behind…” Daggron said looking at a group of birds flying through the air.
(“We can’t let our guard down from now on, because the chosen ones are awakening soon.” Kelly said relaxing next to him.)

Shin wandered into the steamy bathroom with swaying movements due to his wake. Shin felt the steam on his skin. It is pretty hot in here. Shin thought as he ran the water again in the tub to a cooler temperature before turning on the shower head. "Have you seen the others yet?" Shin called out to Saul outside the bathroom.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 23, 2010, 05:58:19 PM
"Nah," Saul replied, fluffing his cloak a little to get rid of some dust. "I haven't left the room yet; I think the receptionist said something about there being a continental breakfast here, I get the feeling the girls are heading down there soon." He pulled on his cloak and secured it with a small chain. "In any event, I'm starving, so I might head down there soon as well."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 23, 2010, 06:45:02 PM
"Ah, okay." Shin shouted back as he turned the shower head on and the water began pouring out and down over him.

Saul pulled on the last of his clothes, made sure he was presentable, and walked out the door. He looked up and down the corridor, hearing voices but seeing no one.

{presumably just after Kyla left their room}
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 23, 2010, 09:27:02 PM
The dining hall had smelled of fresh brewed coffee, strong in the air, as the room was filled with danishes, muffins, crescents, cakes, cold cereals, milk, juice, tea, coffee, eggs, bacon, and sausage, with just a few other things here and there.

Kyla grinned, filling up her plate with food, and putting together a small bowl of cereal for her sister. She got coffee and juice, sitting at a table.

Tamasa just stared blankly at the food momentarily, until Kyla spoke up, "Might as well eat, you're gonna need the energy!" Tamasa glanced at her momentarily, then started putting small portions of food on her plate, sitting beside Kyla to pick at the food.

Kyla used a napkin to create a bib for her sister, letting her feed herself, messily.

Shin finished his shower. He took awhile in the bathroom fixing himself up since he likes to look nice and clean. He put back on his clothes from the previous day since he had nothing else and then left the hotel room. He looked both ways, trying to remember which way he came before but quickly remembered and felt stupid for not knowing right away and then went off searching for the cafe.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 24, 2010, 05:39:57 AM
Saul finally reached the cafe area, conveniently located near the lobby. He walked up to the front desk, munching on a biscuit. "Heya, good mornin'," he said casually to the receptionist, who regarded him with a cheerful smile. "Good morning, sir! How was your night?" "Oh, uneventful," Saul said, scratching his head absently. "A few bad dreams, one of which had those awful Devils in them..."

The receptionist's smile faltered. "D-Devils, you say? Oh, you mean that silly old myth? Hee hee~ Well, must've just been a bad piece of cheese or meat that you ate! Chosen Ones and Devils don't really exist..." Saul's smile fell. "Really? You don't believe in the legend?" The receptionist laughed nervously. "Hah, hah... Um... no?" she said, trying not to stare at the large red crescent over the young man's eye. "Um... c..can I help you with something, sir?"

Saul stood up, smiling cheerfully. "Hah, just messin' with ya, miss. But back to business~ Yes, I believe I left something with your inn staff last night, for safekeeping. A large scythe, about yea high," he gestured with his hand, to a height a little over his head, "blackened blade, all the works?"

The receptionist gulped nervously and nodded. "Um... yes... I have it right here for you, mister um... Saul?" She was starting to sweat a little. (Jeez, this kid's giving me the heebie-jeebies!) she thought. He smiled casually. "Ah, yeah, that's it." He took it from her carefully, wrapping the blade in leather carefully. "So miss..." he looked at her nametag, it said Rose, "Miss Rose... let's assume this legend is real. You know how people know who's a Devil or a Chosen One or not?" He stood up, having strapped the scythe up carefully with a backpack-harness. Grabbing a piece of notepaper and a pen, he quickly drew the symbol which peeked out from under his sleeve. "This, madam, is what you should be wary of," he said, holding it up with his right hand. Rose's eyes bugged out, and her hand went immediately to the phone nearby. Saul grabbed her hand, keeping it in a vice grip. "Uh uh uhhhh~" he admonished, putting her hand back onto the desk. "Next time someone asks you something, please, Rose, for your own safety... Don't tell a Devil you don't believe in them~" He held down both her hands carefully, using the other to draw a symbol on the back of her hand, the same one upon the sheet of paper. "Just a precaution, miss~ If I start encountering trouble on my way out, all I have to do is snap," he held up his fingers, "and your arms will blow off your body, probably killing you instantly and messily. You don't want that to happen, do you?" He smiled sweetly at her. She shook her head, frightened and trembling. "Good. I assume we have an agreement, then? You don't tell, I won't kill you. Got it?" She nodded, sweating up a storm. "Heh, cool then." He let go of her hand, which now sported a small bruise, as well as a red outline on the back of it. "I'm glad we had this talk. If you prove to be trustworthy enough, I'll gladly spare your life when we Devils conquer the world. No more dead-end job, no more harrassing suitors... just peace and harmony under our rule. Does that sound lovely?" Rose gulped. (Th-this murderer is letting me go? He's not going to kill me? ....no more horrible hours spent behind this desk...? ...no more abusive boyfriends...?) Tears were already streaming down her cheeks... which she wiped off, smiling back. "Y... yes..." she said finally. "Th-that does sound... like a world I could live in..." Saul smirked. "Just remember what I said, Ms. Rose. Stay true to the Devils, and they'll stay true to you~ Ta-ta for now..."

He walked back into the cafe, joining Kyla and Tama at their table. "Mornin', ladies."

The large opening that was the doorway into the cafe held good view of the commotion out side, "Back to bein' a hot shot this early in the mornin'?" she asked casually. "Aren't we sposed to keep on the DL or something?"

Tamasa glanced at him nervously, yet silently, quickly looking away. "Where's Shin?" she asked still not looking at him.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 24, 2010, 04:36:34 PM
Just as Tamasa asked about him, Shin entered the room following Saul. He had it hands in his pockets of his jeans and his dress shirt buttoned almost to the top but left the last two unbuttoned as usual. "You missed me, Tamasa?" Shin asked her with a smile since he heard her on the way in.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 24, 2010, 05:08:58 PM
Saul smirked at Kyla. "Heh, saw that, did you? It just kinda ticks me off when people say they don't believe in us, especially to my face; though, really, I could just be an angsty kid with a tattoo on my hand and I could've gone to jail just now for having it! The world is trying to subdue this awakening by burying its head under the sand... and I'm here to dig up that sand one grain at a time~" He smiled as he ate some bacon and pancakes. "That, and gain followers, willing or not. You never know when someone who fears for their life could become of use to us~"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 24, 2010, 08:06:51 PM
Tamasa glanced up quickly, then blushed, "Uhmm... Good morning." she told him, nervously. Before all this devil stuff had started she'd been so confident around him.. Where had all that gone, she wondered.

"Oh so your more devious than I took you for.. Quite the plotter, eh?" Kyla joked, "Whatever floats your boat." she commented, splashing a sprinkle of water from a glass up at him, smirking.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 24, 2010, 10:13:27 PM
Shin walked up to Tamasa, looking her in the eyes and smiling. "How are you doing?" Shin asked.

(( Ow ))
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on March 24, 2010, 11:38:47 PM
"I'm fine thank you." Tamasa replied, "You?" she took a deep breath watching the people around her. Shin seemed like a nice enough person, as did Kyla, although her outlook seemed uncaring as to what happened, however Saul still made her uncomfortable.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on March 25, 2010, 07:31:38 AM
"Ehh... I'm doing fine." Shin replied and sighed soon after. "I just feel a little uneasy this morning is all. Maybe I'll take a walk after I eat so I can think." Shin said as he took a look at whatever food was still left.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on March 26, 2010, 04:26:08 AM
(("...however Saul still made her feel uncomfortable" :O why, i wonder~? ;D))

Saul smiled as water splashed onto his cheek. He let it run down his face to his chin, where it dripped off. "A plotter indeed. It's how I've had to live up until now, it's how I'll continue living from now on. Gotta cover every angle. Besides, I'll never know if those guards from Forsythe decide to pay me back for blowing up their inn, heh."

("Hey Daggron they are moving... I think that they are up." kelly said standing up off of the bench.)
"Alright just tell me which way to go." Daggron said standing up.
("Well it appears that they are over there." She points in the direction of the hotel the devils are staying at.)
"Well we should go meet them then." He said walking towards the hotel. The wind around the city started to grow stronger. As Daggron stood infront of the hotel and walked in, the strong wind began to die down.
("They are very close." Kelly said as she looked around)
"Well we need to start moving... We don't have time to waste. They should find us soon enough if we just wait here." Daggron said walking towards the reception desk.
("Be careful, these people are terrified of us devils." she said standing in front of him. "She is likely to alert every one of our presence and we would be in a tight situation." She waved her finger back and forth "And we don't want that do we.")
"Don't worry I'd kill her before she could inform anyone." He said in his head. "Hello miss... rose I'm here to find some friends of mine. By chance have you seen some people acting rather weird, having a weapon of some sort, or even doing something strange?" He asked her with a calm, charming tone.

Rose eyed the man nervously, still extremely rattled from her encounter with Saul. "Umm... would that happen to be him over in the cafe?" she asked, pointing at the man who just promised her the world if she wouldn't rat him out to the cops. "You... wouldn't happen to be a guard.... would you?"

   William woke up with the distinct feeling that everything in his life was wrong. When he opened his eyes this was confirmed by his surroundings. He was in a hospital room, hooked up to medical ventilator. He could hear the muffled words of what he assumed were doctors trying to figure out what terrible disease he was dying from. But he heard something else, something far off and yet very close at the same time. A voice, calling to him. He strained to listen but the more he did so the less he could hear. He tried to relax, and had it not been for the cocktail of drugs in his system, he wouldn’t’ve been able to. As he reclosed his eyes and his tension subsided the voice became understandable, though just barely. It told him to leave the hospital. This seemed like a very bad idea to William and he began to think the drugs were making him a bit crazy. He called for a nurse. A nurse came into the room, grinning like a maniac and brandishing a four foot long syringe. William looked at the syringe, it was filled with dancing mushrooms. He looked back to the nurse, her head now that of a dog’s. She lifted the syringe above her head and swung it down into his chest. She stood still for a few moments, staring at William and breathing hard. She exploded into a thousand flower petals that floated gently to the floor. The ceiling was gone, where it was were now clouds, rolling across the sky and laughing, at what, William did not know, perhaps at him. But no, they weren’t laughing at him but with him, for at that moment he noticed he was laughing too. He looked around him and saw that the rest of the room had disappeared like the ceiling. He was flying over Naichi on a rocking chair. As the chair took him over Tatsu, he tried to see his house but where it should’ve been there was a grey swamp. The rocking chair splintered and broke beneath him, falling into the swamp below. He was flying by himself now and a path was laid out before him, a path to Strahlend, a path to the end.

   William woke up with the distinct feeling that something in his life was finally right. He opened his eyes and saw a nurse with a human head. She called in a doctor who explained to him that he had inhaled fungal spores when he was sleeping and had some sort of allergic reaction. William got out of the bed and put on his pants, for he had been put into a hospital gown. He left his shirt because it had been ripped. He started his journey to the Alter of Earth. Though he didn’t understand exactly why he was doing this, he believed with every fiber of his being that it’s what he must do. He had nothing left to lose because he started off with nothing, nothing worth holding onto anyway.

“Thank you Rose, and no I am no guard.” He said walking towards the café.
(“Finally we found them.” Kelly said with glee.)
Daggron walked up to the Saul, and tapped his shoulder.
“Hey what are you doing? Are you one of them?” Daggron said looking at the scythe he had on his back.
(“Careful he might try and attack. You kind of sounded like a chosen one. So be on guard.” Kelly said to him.)
Daggron handled one of his swords ready to unsheathe it if needed.

Saul stood up and turned, pushing his chair under the table. "And what," he said, scowling, "do you mean by 'one of them,' good sir?" He felt an odd twinge about the guy, and felt he should have his symbol visible, so he stretched his arm a little out from under his sleeve, allowing it to be seen. "And who're you, anyway? What do you want?"

"Get the rest of the devils we are moving..." Daggron says taking off his gauntlet to show his devil symbol.
"We need to move now. So get the other three and lets move." Daggron says putting his gauntlet back on and walking to the front door waiting for them to join him.
("Whoa... what was that for? He is our ally, what has he done to get you pissed?" Kelly said leaning on Daggron)
"They are wasting time..." Daggron said sternly

Kyla's eyes narrowed in agitation, standing up, one hand on her hip, "Excuse me, but who are you again? I don't take orders, so don't start making them or you'll find yourself in one hell of a bad situation, got it buddy?" She glowered at him, "Who do you think you are coming in here, hand on your weapon ready to strike, while we are enjoying a calm quiet breakfast. Besides, we are in a room full of witnesses, don't you have intelligence enough to not go waving around that mark of yours so that the whole world knows your identity? Now they all have to die..." She took a breath, her mood able to altar quickly, like how an ocean becomes violent during a storm.

Tamasa stiffened, staring up at Kyla, attempting to protest, but falling stilled to silence. Had this change gone straight to their heads? Had it driven them insane?

Post by: Soloxius on April 13, 2010, 07:22:53 PM
Saul continued to stare as the newcomer gave them all a quick order, and walked off without even a chance to say anything back. He listened quietly as Kyla vented her anger. He nodded, suddenly sobered. "That's true. All the people sitting around us either have to take an oath of silence or be silenced." He turned towards a couple sitting near the window, reaching hurriedly for their mobile phones. "Uh uh uh~" he said, walking towards them. He snatched away their phones and threw them in a nearby pitcher of water. He looked to the other people sitting around the room. "C'mon, all of you. Get out your phones and throw them in here," he pointed to the water pitcher, "Unless you'd like to take an oath of silence on this matter. You will be given a mark, and if you go back on your oath, you will perish. If you do not... when we ascend to godhood, you will be rewarded for your loyalty. Now then, which do you choose? Take the mark and be spared, or my comrades and I will be forced to execute you."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 13, 2010, 07:41:20 PM
Kyla set off the sprinklers, as water leaked into the phones exposed, "That works better, ya know." she mentioned. "You seem to be taking care of this, I'm going to the pharmacy now to take care of my own matters." She glanced at Tamasa, to whom seemed terrified, "Wanna come with?"

Tamasa glanced at her, then Shin, then the room of people. "A-alright.." she said in more or a whisper, as she stood up.

The younger sister stood, getting off her chair, to follow after her sister, coughing violently.

Kyla scooped her up, leaving out the door, darting an angry glance in the stranger's direction. Tamasa passed him with her eyes glued to the floor.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on April 13, 2010, 10:24:51 PM
Shin stood where he was. He didn't think about following the stranger's orders at all nor did he approve of what Saul was doing. All Shin knew is that he just woke up and he was hungry so we quietly and slowly starting eating the food on his plate without a care in the world as he observed Saul, making sure he didn't do anything stupid like execute someone.

I guess Tamasa is in good hand with that other girl so I don't have to worry about her right now... But this new guy and Saul seem to be a little nuts... Shin thought to himself as he stuffed his face with bacon.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on April 14, 2010, 05:50:50 AM
One of Saul's hands lit ablaze as he clenched his fist. He looked down at it, a tad surprised. (Uh, don't you think that's a bit unnecessary?) he asked his Shadow. (These are followers, ripe for the picking, and you'd rather destroy them? Pfft. We're not mindless killers. We're Devils, and it's our destiny, our RIGHT, to rule this planet and make changes,) he dispersed the fire, (for the Good of humanity.)

The Shadow grumbled to itself as Saul raised his arms dramatically. "It appears... I may have spoken a tad soon. I would rather not execute anyone today, or ever. We may not be the best of heroes mankind has encountered, but we are by no means villains!" He held out a hand to a woman prostrated against the floor in front of him. "Please, miss," he said softly. "We just want to help." She looked up at him with a glint of fear in her eyes, but sniffed back her tears and took his hand cautiously. Gently, he helped her to her feet. She retreated a few steps away from him, recoiling from his touch, but the same look of meager hope remained in her eyes. He smiled warmly at the collected people. "You see? You need not fear u-" He stopped mid-sentence, ducking under a glass that was thrown at him.

"Get out of here with your lies, you monster!" the man who threw it said. "Your kind has always been the bane of our existence! You're the ones who curse our land, defile our crops, and cause all those horrible disasters we hear about!" Saul stood, pity in his eyes. "Really? Are you certain that we're the ones cursing you?" He sat on a nearby chair. "Let me tell you a little something about the people running this world. I was once just an ordinary boy, no taller than this table, when I was apprenticed under a man called Smith. A joyful, generous man, with strong morals; respected by all, envied by many. There was another man in Forsythe those days, called Hiro. Known as a savior to the town, he was, after he supposedly stopped an entire encampment of bandits from ransacking the town. Smith knew this, and respected him for it. However, Hiro made a fool of himself by demanding royal treatment for a simple task. He took food from the farmers as payment, he took women from mere merchants as payment... he came to Smith and told him to give him an arsenal for free, as payment for saving us." He snorted. "An arrogant fool looking to capitalize on the welfare of the people he grew up amongst. Well, Smith had heard of his horrid deeds, and said no, he wouldn't give Hiro anything, not until he gave back what he took. I'm sure you can guess how that ended. Hiro killed off my master, because he wouldn't give the arrogant man something for free. Does that sound like someone you want ruling you? Enforcing its own laws? Well? Does it?!"

He stood, facing the window. "I did not ask for these powers. I did not ask for this lifestyle. However, that does not mean I cannot use them for the power of good, the good of the people!" He turned back around. "Don't you see? We're not mindless killing machines. We're people just like you. We are only different in that we've been given a chance to change the world for the better! ...and now I'm going to ask that you take advantage of our chance." He walked to the door, and opened it. "I will allow you all to go free, with your lives. I merely wish to shake each one of your hands, and wish you the best in changing your world."

His inner Shadow smiled. (Oh~ I gotcha now. When you shake da hands of da people, you can put da mark on 'em without their noticin'. That way, if dey decide to go against us, BOOM! You're gettin' tha hanga' this, bro.) Saul ignored his inner dialogue and merely smiled as each person passed, shaking his hand. With each, he focused some of his power and made a small mark, a tiny devil mark onto their wrists, faded so as to be hard to notice. They gathered out in the foyer, where he addressed them again. "Please, my friends. Do not contact the guard just yet. We will be departing soon, I feel, and will be out of your lives soon enough. Until that time comes, I would ask that you do not share what I have told you today. Perhaps after we leave... You may share it with as many people as you wish. I thank you in advance for your cooperation~" And with that, he walked past Daggron, standing outside in the bright morning.

"So where is it that we're headed, O Forceful One?" he asked the man.

"I have a boat at the dock. We can use that to get to the seals" Daggron said ignoring his insult. "Unless you noticed we have to get there before the chosen ones." he said watching the people leave. "They will betray us you realize that right? Any way I'm going to go get supplies...This isn't a luxery cruise...So try and hurry. Oh tell the water devil I ment no offense." And with that said he started to walk out. "You'll know which ship it is." He stated soon dissapearing from Saul's view

Kyla swerved through people, moving through the current with great stealth, as Tamasa trailed behind.

"He won't kill them." Kyla mentioned.

"What?" Tamasa asked.

"Saul. He won't hurt those people." Kyla elaborated, "He plots a lot, I'm sure they'll be fine. I know you were thinking about it... worried and all."

"No, I... well..." she trailed off, "I'm unsure is all."

"Don't be. We don't have to be what they all say we are... we have powers, but because the souls instilled in us are synthetic and created by a baddie, we get the crap. A few days ago we were normal people living normal lives. I don't care either way, win... lose.. live.. die... doesn't make any difference to me afterall, I can pretty much go with anything.."

Tamasa glanced up at her, "Oh.."

Kyla redirected the topic, "New guy seems like a bit of a hassle, dun'e?"

"A bit..." Tamasa glanced up, as they arrived at a small building. Kyla led her way through the door, walking up to the woman.

"Can I help you?" the pharamist asked.

"Yeah, I have a prescription here.." she handed it over, as the woman glanced at it, then retreated into the back.

"Here you are, that would cost you $100." the woman returned saying.

"For some overdosed special cough medicine?" Kyla complained.

Tamasa put the money on the counter, politely, as Kyla glanced over, "Uh.. thanks."

"No problem." Tamasa replied apathetically.

The woman handed over the bag, noticing the mark on Kyla's hand as she reached for it. She pulled away the medicine. "I'm sorry, we don't offer our services to your kind. Please le-" her voice vanished as she began tearing and sweating profusely, moisture spilling from her mouth and eyes, training the water from her being in a sudden rush. She grew pale, eyes widened, as moisture spilled from them, attempting to talk from a raspy throat.

"Kyla, stop it! Leave her alone!" Tamasa yelled, but Kyla hadn't listened. "Stop it!" she pleaded again, as the woman collapsed. "STOP!" Tamsa screamed as the lights shattered, and Tamasa winced, as blood rose to the surface of her skin, making bruises appear variously across her body.

"Ow, what the- why'd you do that?!" Kyla asked.

"You tried to kill her!" Tamasa shot, angry.

"She was willing to let my sister be sick! It won't get through to you, will it?!" Kyla returned; her sister coughed over and over, as Kyla pulled her closer, snatching up the bag, and leaving.

Tamasa glanced back at her, then picked up the phone behind the desk, "Hello?... I'm at a pharmacy, a woman just collapsed from dehydration... No, I don't know... Alright..." she hung up the phone, walking out of the building. No one else had been there to witness the attack, luckily for them. Perhaps that had been why Tamasa was so quick to have attacked.

"You done being a hero?" Kyla questioned.

"Let's go." Tamasa shot her an angry look.

"Ooo, looks like someone's found her inner devil." Kyla grinned.

"No. What happened was a fluke; I never meant to attack you." Tamasa replied, "I won't be using these powers again."

"If you saw sooo~" Kyla taunted, as she popped open the pills and handed one to her sister, "Here take this." she cooed, as the child gulped it down.

Tamasa hadn't ceased walking.

Shin was relieved to see that Saul didn't harm anyone and he had just finished his breakfast and following Saul out quickly while saying "Excuse me miss," to a women he nearly ran into.

(( I apologize. ))

Saul turned as Shin came out the door. "Well, mister knowitall there apparently has a boat he's gonna use to take us to the Devil Seals that we're supposed to go to or something, and he's off to the dock. Would you mind finding the girls and bringing them to the docks? I don't seem to have much luck in calming Tamasa down; quite the opposite, really. She seems to trust you more... I'm gonna check on a few things and rendezvous with this Daggron fellow, maybe grab some provisions for the trip. How's that sound?"

((Daggron, a note: I'm not sure if you're trying to come off as a brute in-game, but generally speaking, saying something to someone in a rather insulting manner and then walking away before they have a chance to respond is bad form. Just thought I'd share this with you. ))
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on April 15, 2010, 07:57:21 AM
Shin shrugged. "I guess I'll just wait at the door here for them since I don't really know where they went to. I'm sure they're fine and going to make their way back..." Shin replied. "Wait... We're going somewhere?(=_=)" Shin asked quickly.

("Wow you were really cold. You should apologize next time we see them." Kelly said appearing next to Daggron)
"Am I the only serious one around here?" Daggron said cursing himself for the terrible first impression he made with his comrades.
("They aren't like you Daggron... Go easy on them okay? I mean Devils aren't trying to destroy the world... Just to reconstruct it to be a better would for all." Kelly said holding his hand gently.)
"But" Daggron sighs knowing he just probably pissed off the only people in the world that would accept him.
("It's alright... but I wonder why you act cold hearted sometimes?" Kelly said tightening her grip around his hand)
"I'm not cold hearted... Being cold hearted means I would'of had a heart to be cold... I don't have a heart... Not anymore... Not Since you died." Daggron replied like he was in pain.
("But look I'm standing right next to you!" She said tugging on his arm. "You know that I would nevet leave you." She hugs his arm and leans her head on his shoulder)
"Fine. I'll apologize to them when they board the ship." He said reaching the dock.
("Now lets get the ship prepared for launch." She said walking up the ramp.)
"Hemph... Alright" Daggron said getting every thing set to launch.

Saul walked off toward the dock, calling over his shoulder to Shin. "Yeah, apparently there's somewhere we need to go now that we're mostly together, this guy's got a boat. I figure we go with him and see what lies ahead, y'know?"

And he slipped into the crowds, ducking around, moving purposefully towards the dock. On his way he saw one or two of the people he'd just released from the hotel; they glanced at him with fear in their eyes, but didn't say anything. He smiled back at them, and continued on to the dock.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 15, 2010, 08:59:10 PM
Tamasa's pace was faster than usual, however Kyla kept up easily, being able to swerve through the crowd easier. In Tamasa's hurry, she banged elbows with another man, who dropped the bags in his hands. He turned to her, angrily, his hand jerked back, as Kyla quickly moved between them, "Can I help you sir?" she asked, with a hint of warning in her voice.

He looked at her for a moment, before taking a step back. His mind, processing slowly, had apparently deduced it was no longer worth causing trouble, so he instead gave a deathly glare, responding, "Watch yourself, little girl. You might get hurt one of these days."

Tamasa glanced up at Kyla, "Why did you do that?" she hissed.

"So you wouldn't of had to use your powers in case of confrontation." Kyla replied, "That was the only way you'd have any chance, and the evil soul within you would have assumed control. Besides, you're part of the family; we take care of our own."

Tamasa glanced back at the ground, "You're all crazy.. one minute you're nice, then evil, then nice... I don't get any of this, and frankly, I don't wish to be part of it."

"Tooooo late~!" Kyla chirped, "It will be fun, you'll see! Actually..." she trailed off, "I've got a pretty fun idea after all."

"I'm almost afraid to ask." Tamasa hung her head.

"Oh, nothing evil, or.. nothing too evil; I don't think you'll disapprove." Kyla grinned, "C'mon!"

They moved towards the hotel, glancing at Shin, who was the only remainder. An ambulance and two cop cars rushed past them, the breeze twlifting their hair and letting it drop over their shoulders again.

"Saul go chase down Mister-Dude-witha-Tude?" Kyla asked, playfully.

Shin sighed as Saul went off with the man he didn't know yet. Shin leaned against the wall of the hotel, waiting for Tamasa and Kyla to return. "I hope those two are okay." He muttered to himself and was suddenly startled by the two appearing before him.

"Ah, sorry. I was spacing out." Shin replied with smile. He felt a little embarrassed he wasn't on his guard at all. "Yeah, he went to check out the boat or whatever he was talking about."

"Notta problem," Kyla said in response to his apology, "I guess that's probably where we should be headed then, huh?"  She started forward already.

Tamasa, still withheld mixed emotions based upon the previous occurrences. Her head hung, as she turned slightly to watch the ambulance rush past them. "Something tells me we should leave as soon as possible..." she trailed off.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on April 18, 2010, 09:46:23 PM
"Yeah..." Shin said with a sigh following afterward. "Let's catch up with Saul. I may not know what the heck is going on, but I don't really have anything else to do anyway." Shin stated and went in the direction he saw Saul going with quick steps so he could catch up and get in sight of him sooner.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 18, 2010, 11:17:16 PM
The waves clashed against the shore, beating against the wood of the boat, with force, as it rocked back and forth like an infant's cradle. The seagulls overheard called to each other and swooped down to snatch up fish or scraps of food, and fishermen gathered at the far end of the dock, bringing in loads of fresh catches. The air smelt of salt and  moisture, and the clouds moved across the sky, hiding the sun occasionally, making the world dim momentarily. A soft breezed embraced the people it touched, with softness.

Kyla looked at Tamasa, gesturing for her to keep quiet, as the approached Saul; her little sister trailed behind her, making small steps. The water started rocking the boat more violently as water a huge wave rolled across the water, rumbling up and growing monstrous in size, as it curled over itself, foaming as it finally broke, the water surging in Saul's direction, with force, before cascading over him and retreating back into the ocean.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on April 19, 2010, 06:24:57 PM
Saul stood on the dock, watching the calm sea, while the new guy presumably readied the ship for departure. A small wave out on the horizon seemed to be getting bigger as it neared the shore... Until it was a large one, taller than himself. Such an occurrence could only be the work of one person... He sighed loudly, just before the huge wave crashed over him, soaking his clothes in salt water.

He lay there as it retreated, looking up into the sky. "Very funny, Kyla," he said loudly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 19, 2010, 06:32:26 PM
"Teehee!" Kyla giggled; even Tamasa was amused by the practical joke. "I thought so too!" she grinned and turned to Tamasa, "See sis, our powers can be used for more than just bad, just ask Saul!" She eased the ocean back into its natural current. "You just need to find out more about your powers and accept them, before you'll control them rightfully."

Tamasa glanced at Saul, water dripping off of him, and shook her head, with a slight smile, "Maybe... I don't think my powers are meant for practical jokes."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on April 19, 2010, 06:37:45 PM
Saul suddenly smirked, and got up, water dripping from his cloak. "Yeah... Our powers can be used for good, clean fun! And when that doesn't work well enough..." He walked up to the pair, suddenly throwing his arms around them. "...you just have to make due with what you've got! Wet group hug~" He giggled as he shared his wetness.

(( :> ))
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 19, 2010, 06:40:37 PM
Kyla grinned, "Oh so that's how you're gonna be huh? Just remember that water will always extinguish the flame." she warned, jokingly.

Tamasa fidgeted, then smiled again, "Hugs are nice..." she commented, glancing back at Shin.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on April 19, 2010, 06:51:34 PM
Saul suddenly realized just how close he was to the two girls, and blushed. "Uhm... heh," he said, suddenly sort of awkward. (What the hell? Why is it, around any other woman I've ever been around, this never occurred? Why am I blushing and fidgeting? Is it because of Tamasa? Or is it because of Kyla...)
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 19, 2010, 07:26:34 PM
Kyla glanced up, "Aww, he's blusshhiinngg!!" she poked fun, "I didn't know you were one of those shy sorta guys," she snickered, playfully.

Tamasa was starting to understand them more and more, how is it that this early on they all already understood the degree that the rest of society frowned upon them and had already created a barrier to keep themselves and the rest of society entirely apart? She felt, that to the others, it was the devils, the chosens, and the regular people. Were they no longer part of that society? They accepted each other so openly, yet no one else, even she who had pushed them away since the first moment they'd met, was being treated as if she were their sibling. She understood she was safe in their presence, but beneath their family like mentality, was people willing to take lives... She'd witness the brutality Kyla was capable of, and feared becoming the same way, or being exposed to it more often than just this once.

Shin sat down on the dock, watching the three commence in odd play. "You guys are weird." Shin commented, but laughed afterward to indicate he was only joking. Shin then looked at his hands, studying them closely. I don't really get how my powers work... Shin thought wearily. Ah well. Shin stood up. "Are we going to get a move on?" Shin asked loudly and at the same time, stretched widely and with a manly grunt as his dress shirt clung against his chest. He sighed and wiped off his clothes as if he were dirty.

A strong wind blew the little hugging group over. "And remember the winds will always come on top of all other elements in the sky." Daggron said jokingly "Come on you lot we're ready to sail. Oh and sorry for the mishap in the hotel." Daggron smiled out to a group. (Why am I smiling? ... This is weird. Why am I so happy all of a sudden? None of this makes any sense. Oh well if ya can't beat them...join them)

"Am not!" He said turning a little red.

"Tch, let's do what the man says, girls. We need to be off soonish, I wager," Saul said, letting go of the girls a little hesitantly. He stood and walked to the boat, trying not to blush even more. (What...is going on....?) he thought. (Kyla's been making me feel weird since we first met. I mean, she's the element opposite to me, so I thought that was it, but now...) He looked back at her as he walked, and he blushed a tiny bit, again. (Now even if I just look at her... urgh! Stupid hormones.) He shook his head and tried to forget about the matter.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on April 20, 2010, 06:59:46 PM
A strong wind blew the little hugging group over. "And remember the winds will always come on top of all other elements in the sky."

Kyla snickered, "Don't you know anything about geology and astrology? Your wind only exists because of the gravitational pull on the ocean, that the moon cause; therefore your wind relies on my waters."

She followed the group after, her clothes made damp from Saul's hug.

"Boat." A little voice murmured, as tiny hands reached for Kyla's.

"That's right, Emmi!" Kyla smiled, "We're going on a boat."

"Boat!" The little girl, with rosy cheeks and an upturned smile, said again, with growing enthusiasm.

The return in natural behavior from her sister came as a relief to Kyla, as she realized the medicine was taking effect. "Tell your sister, Tamasa, to hurry up already!" Kyla told Emmi, who stopped and turned to look at Tamasa.

"Hurry!!" the girl told her, and smiled widely.

Tamasa returned the smile, taking a step forwards, as she glanced down at a passing puddle, seeing her dark reflection, and hearing the echoing silent voice of her reflection speak to her. Let the darkness consume you... Tamasa stumbled backwards, "Stop!" she yelped, covering her head and ears with her hands. The voice was gone, the reflection was gone. No one saw or heard anything besides herself. She peaked up, nervously, to be sure she was safe again.

Kyla glanced back at her, "You okay, kid?"

Tamasa glanced up, her expression registering only as frightened, although she hadn't answered the question.

"Ok we are about to cast off!" Daggron announced to every one in a ecstatic  tone. "Oh! Where are my manors I am Daggron Shinsei. I am pleased to meet you all." He said bowing to them all. "My sincere apologies if we have gotten off on the wrong foot." Daggron said looking up from his bow. "But as you all know we are in a hurry to get to the seals. I meant no offense to you all this morning, but we have to get going if we are to beat the chosen ones to the seals." He straightens up. "We all are now outcasts... hated by all who live. What they don't understand is we are trying to cleanse this world. I was upset this morning because, if we don't get there before those "Chosen Ones" then we can't change the world for the better."

Shin stepped into the boat calmly. "It's fine, don't worry about it." Shin replied to Daggron(Just used for who he is talking to, he's still a stranger to Shin) about his apology. "Though I didn't catch your name yet, sorry if I was spacing out. I'm Shin." Shin said, extending his right hand for him to shake if he wished.

Saul looked at Shin confusedly. "Whatever gave you that impression?" He chuckled. "The only things I have going for me is hugely destructive firepower and my devilish charm~ However, Daggron mentioned going to some Seal where we have to go start something. Not sure what, but I seem to vaguely remember something about an Isle out west that supposedly holds a shrine to the Gods. Maybe the Chosen Ones have to go out there too? Seems we have a head start on them at the very least, heh." He leaned in a little closer, hopefully out of earshot of the girls. "Really," he said in a low voice, "I just can't wait to see if my cult gambit actually works or not. I meant everything I said about wanting to change the world for the better, but at the moment that change comes in the form of power for us, people we can depend on and use, if need be." He straightened up. "Now, Daggron... how the hell do we 'cast off?' I've never been on a ship before."

Post by: Adelaide on April 25, 2010, 08:46:17 PM
Kyla helped Tamasa up, "You get on the boat, lift the anchor, and set sail for adventure! I wanna be captain!" She giggled, scooping her little sister into her arms, and racing up ahead, "C'mon Tama!" she urged. Tamasa glanced at the others, shaking the devil's thought's from her head, then putting back on a small smile, and chasing after Kyla. 'Tama...' she thought of the nickname. The only other person who'd referred to her as so was Mitsu. 'She hates me... I'm so sorry Mitsuye... I wish it didn't have to be this way... Will I get to see you again?' the inner thoughts stirred her mixed emotions.

"Heh I say we let the lil one be captin." Daggron hands the wheel over to the little girl.

Shin observed the strange behaviors of everyone. They're letting a child navigate? And we don't even know what we're doing. Not only that, but do we have the food to just set out like this? Shin thought with much concern for everyone, mainly Tamasa who looked troubled. Shin moved over and sat next to Tamasa.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Shin asked calmly, his face showing no tension or confusion even though he was still a little worried.

Post by: Daggron13 on April 26, 2010, 07:37:36 AM
"Now does anyone have concerns? I'll help in anyway I can." Daggron said looking at everyone. "Please ask...I don't want to set sail and forget something." He rubs the back of his head with an anime sweet drop.

"TOO LATE!" Kyla grinned as the currents pulled at the boat, her younger sister grinned as she spun the wheel, and Kyla helped put it on the right course. "OFF WE GO~!!"

Tamasa glanced up at Shin, "Uhm... I'm alright I guess... nervous... I guess I don't know what to expect and I kinda ditched Mitsuye as soon as I saw the mark on my hand and realized what was going on... She'll hate me..." she looked up at the others, "And.. everyone seems... well, a bit cheerful and upbeat, like this is all a good thing.. and I like them but... they scare me... the capacity to hurt people, to kill them... how is anyone capable of such things?" she stopped her rant, taking a breath. "The woman at the pharmacy refused t give Kyla medicine for her sister; she saw the mark.. and Kyla killed her, then took the medicine and left."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Red on April 27, 2010, 10:52:17 PM
Shin looked at Tamasa for a moment, at first he wasn't sure what to say. "Well, all I know is that I'm me and you're you and we will both do what we think is right and I guess that's how I see things. Whether I'm hated or not, whether being a Devil, Chosen One, or a regular person,  I don't really care what people think of me. But if I have powers to change the world for the better, why not do that?" Shin spoke calmly to Tamasa, getting a little closer than usual. "But that's just my point of view." Shin added quickly since he was worried that Tamasa might get the wrong idea he was trying to force beliefs on her or something.

"Heh... you think your the only one who left something behind? We all left our home, family, and friends behind. I can kill people because they took something away from me... my heart... I was in love with a girl name kelly... she was the sweetest person I've ever met... she was so kind and gentle to everyone... she was killed by a bunch of thieves that went too far... and the world just  [cen] in watched! There were people all around us... they just walked on by... turned a blind eye to people in need. I couldn't stop them... she died... I was mortally wounded... I realized then... that I was an outcast... a nobody in society... that's why it wasn't hard for me to adapted to this... I'm not an evil person... I won't kill for no reason... you have to realize that now... the whole world is against us... every single person... and those who join us... are either doing it for a profit because someone promised it." he looks at saul. "Or they are evil hearted and have no need for our new world." He then puts a hand on Tamasa's shoulder. "I won't kill anyone unless it's the last resort." Daggron smiles trying to cheer Tamasa up

Saul noticed a glance from Daggron. "What's he looking at..." he said to himself. He shrugged, looking back to the open sea... and more importantly, the bright yellow sun.

Daggron smiled warmly at Tamasa and then sat down next to shin.
"What's wrong? You look concerned about something." Daggron said in a tone that only shin could hear. "I need to know everything I can about my allies so that we don't get killed by the chosen ones. If you have a concern tell me alright? I'll do all I can to help." He leans back to look at the sky. "We are all family now whether you like it or not." He said chuckling a bit as he said it.

Saul heard Daggron chuckling and wondered what it was all about. He shrugged again. He didn't care what the fool thought, he hadn't proven his worth to Saul in any other way other than providing a boat to take them to... who knows where. (Where exactly are we headed again?) he asked his Shadow.

(We're goin' to tha Devil Shrine in the southern seas. Ya ever hear about tha Isle? That's where tha Chosen Ones hafta go. They kinda correspond to each other in that we go there to have everythin' explained and/or get told what it is we hafta do next. It's like our command center of sorts, y'know? So this Daggron fella knew that and got a boat to take ya there. Swell guy, ain't he?) Saul smirked. (What? Pfft, so he's got a boat. He's trying to assume command over this ragtag group just because he stole a boat. If there's any one thing I hate more than any other thing, it's someone assuming they can boss me around. If he'd come like a comrade, greeting us and getting to know us and saying "oh, hey, I've gotta boat, we should go to the shrine sometime soon," I'd have been okay. But no, instead he marches in, scowls at us, tells us to go to the harbor, calls us "lazy," and storms off like a spoiled child. It's going to take some convincing for me to like him ever. On an unrelated note... Everyone's starting to believe that little thing I said about being family. I just said it to make that little scared girl stop crying. But now... I'm starting to believe it too.) The shadow shrugged. (It is what it is. You guys and gals are more or less family now, you got your souls from tha same guy, you got us, and no one else does... Yeah, you could say you're family. But if anyone tries to run off and do all that good crap, you take 'em out, y'hear? I like your little setup ya got goin' with this "cult" stuff you started. Dat's gonna be helpful down tha line, if we gotta travel through town again. Yeah... real nice, heh!)

Tamasa gave a harsh stare towards Daggron, the whites of her eyes flickering to pure black a few times, giving off the feeling of strong distaste. Sounds, maybe what was meant to be words, resounded in her thoughts, with each flicker of the eyes. She felt a distance from reality for a moment, and could almost feel the intensifying of emotions as she pulled herself back to reality. 'What's... going on?' she asked, dizzily and feeling faint, before blacking out.

Kyla glanced back, "I think someone gets seasick." she joked, as her sister grew bored with steering the ship.

"Your turn!" the young girl told her sister, moving out of the way to sit on the wooden floor of the boat.

Saul glanced over at Tamasa lazily and saw her start to fall over, and his eyes widened. "Tamasa?!" he said, getting up and rushing over to catch her before she hit her head on the deck. "Hey! Are you okay?"

(Feh, and here I thought all dis stuff about you thinkin' you all're family was a load'a bull, heh) his Shadow said in his mind. (SHUT UP I'M TRYING TO THINK) Saul replied.

He simply sat there, holding Tama's head in his lap, wondering what could have happened within her to cause her to black out. (I suppose it'll wear off...eventually...)

"She's been through a lot... we all have. She probably just needs some sleep. Well lets take her inside I've beds set up so we can lay her down there." Daggron said getting up. "Beds are in the captains quarters while the supplies are all in the storage chambers. Saul check her temperature if you don't mind." He said walking over to Tasama and Saul.
("I don't think they like you very much." Kelly said)
("I don't blame them... I don't even like me." he replied)

Tamasa glanced around. She was alone, in the darkness. "Where am I?" she asked. He voice echoed, but there was no reply. She took a step, as her foot splashed into moisture and she glanced down at the thick mixture.

"What.." she looked up, face to face with a mirror; staring at her own reflection. All around her, mirrors surrounded her, she glanced around quickly. but her stare only met with the black figure staring back at her with the most wicked expression.

She looked back down to avoid the gaze, her reflection in the thick crimson liquid staring back demonically.

"Stop it..." she whispered, closing her eyes tight, "Leave me alone!"she yelled, the mirrors shattering. She took it as an opportunity to run, to escape her own reflection. The liquid splashed onto her and she tripped over corpses.

She shivered, looking at the bodies, "Who did this?"

A figure looked down at her, "You did." Her own voice told her.

"I.. no... I didn't..." she choked.

The mirrors rose around her again, "Look at yourself."

She stared emptily at her blood covered body and the glowing of her hands. She curled up into herself, rocking back and forth, hugging her legs and shaking tremendously.

"Why are you so scared?" The voice asked.

"I..." she couldnt reply.

"Are you afraid of yourself?"

"You are not me." she replied nervously.

"Aren't I?" the figure asked, "Stand up. If you are strong enough to ward me off, then stand and face me."

Tamasa stared up at her other half, "I..."

"Can't win." The shadow became ethereal, like smoke, to which warped around Tamasa's body and absorbed into her. For a moment Tamasa's eyes went blank, before restoring.


Kyla walked into the room Tamasa was resting in, "She's still asleep, huh?" she asked, staring down at the unsettled sleeper.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on May 24, 2010, 12:45:15 AM
Saul looked up from the bedside chair. "Yeah, she's still out. Odd thing though... her temp's down a bit. Can't understand why. Something's wrong here...."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on May 24, 2010, 12:56:42 AM
"Get her some more blankets? Maybe she has poor circulation and that's why she fainted..." Kyla offered, glancing outside as it seemed to be getting dark.

"Anyway, we should probably discuss shifts, to keep ourselves from floating off course while we sleep." Kyla mentioned, "I'm good for a second shift, after I get my sister to bed, and I dont think Tamasa will be much up to piloting the ship."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Daggron13 on May 24, 2010, 07:34:36 AM
"I'll get first shift...it's the least I can do after what I did to you all...anyways I think when she wakes up we all need to talk... I might seem a little pushy but I think we need a strategy. Well I'll go up top and manage the ship for a while..." He walks to the door but stops before leaving. "Pleasant dreams guys." He smiles and leaves.
 
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on May 24, 2010, 12:26:58 PM
Saul jumped as Daggron spoke. When had he come in? Ah well, it didn't matter. His offer was a gracious one, but left before Saul could thank him for such.

He glanced over to Kyla and smiled in a knowing way. "Well... he's getting better, that's for certain, heh."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on May 24, 2010, 03:27:00 PM
"I agree," Kyla mentioned, "That's good..." She stared at Tamasa for a moment, then down at her sister, "I think it's the captain's bedtime." she joked, as she scooped the girl up and put her in one of the beds.

She glanced back at Saul, "So this is it, I guess." She sighed, "We're pulling through with whatever it is us devils do."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on May 24, 2010, 09:13:05 PM

(( I decided to ignore the issue. The reason why I haven't posted until now is because I've been busy. I did give everyone a warning before that I might not be on much at all. ))

Shin had been laying on the deck of the boat for a few hours now, looking up at the dark sky, his hands behind his head. The air was pretty chilly but it didn't seem to bother Shin.

Did I really just get on a boat with some random kids to go who knows where? Shin just thought to himself in realization to this. It seems so funny to him it made him smile but said nothing out loud.

Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on May 29, 2010, 01:18:29 AM
"Well I mean, we all boarded this boat and we're all headed who knows where to fulfill some prophesy." She explained, "So I guess there's no backing down now. We're in it to the end"

"If we defeat them that is, who knows, maybe they'll win and we'll implode or something." Kyla joked, waiting for her shift to start.

Post by: Adelaide on June 14, 2010, 01:31:14 AM
Kyla looked towards her sister, "Well thanks, but," she commented, "Perhaps we sh-" the shifting of blankets and sheets on the other side of the room caught her attention as Tamasa sat up and glanced at them blankly, her expression empty.

"Tamasa! Are.. you okay?" Kyla questioned.

Tamasa's empty expression looked to her, "Yes, fine," she said, "How long have I been asleep?"

Kyla shrugged, "Dunno, several hours."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 14, 2010, 09:44:18 PM
Saul made a face as Kyla was interrupted. (Dammit...) he thought.

Tamasa spoke in an odd way to them. He raised an eyebrow. "You don't sound so hot; are you alright?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on June 15, 2010, 08:32:20 PM
Tamasa's gaze turned to Saul, "I'm fine, just dazed I guess." she looked ourside.

"Uhm, right, well we decided to split the night up into shifts, but we thought maybe you should take the night off... Speaking of which, it's my turn, wanna come Saul?" Kyla mentioned.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Daggron13 on June 16, 2010, 07:58:28 AM
The night sky was clear and lighten up by the thousands of millions of stars in the night sky. Daggron though was steering the ship he was looking up into the sky.
("Daggron....Daggron...DAGGRON!!!!" Kelly yelled at him.)
"Huh! What?" Daggron said as he came from his day dream.
("Pay attention or else we are all going to crash!" She said appearing next to him with her hands on her hips leaning towards him with a jokingly mad expression.)
"Sorry...they just look so beautiful..." Daggron said quietly.
("Well do that when your off of your shift! When was the last time you actually got some sleep?" Kelly asked tilted her head confused.)
"For about two days, but how can I sleep when my dreams always end up with pain and death?" he said looking down at the steering wheel.
("Well you have to try! Your shift is almost over I suggest you get some sleep." She said standing straight up and hugs him from behind. "Please for me...")
"Fine I'll try and get some sleep." Daggron said looking up again.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 16, 2010, 11:49:59 AM
Saul nodded at Kyla. "Mm." He got up and walked to the door. "If you need anything, Tama, you just let us know, okay?" He walked out.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on June 16, 2010, 03:10:51 PM
Kyla followed in like suit, looking back at Tamasa nervously.

"Daggron, you can go get some rest, we'll take it from here." Kyla told him, glancing off towards the calm ocean.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 19, 2010, 04:22:26 PM
Saul took his place next to Kyla near the helm, taking the wheel in his calloused hands. "So what's your story, anyway? How'd you end up where you are?" he asked, curious.

(You serious?) his shadow asked. (Or you jus' tryin' to make her think you're kind and carin'?) (Oh shut it.)
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on June 19, 2010, 08:46:41 PM
Kyla sighed, "Does everyone have to have a story?" she thought out loud, "I lived my whole life as a normal kid... nothing too interesting, just let things happen without being phased. Then not too long ago, both my normal parent drove intoxicated and ruined my normal life style by going off and dying." She explained uncaring, "Emmi was left to me, and at the moment, she's all I care for. I only came along on this thing, because I don't have anything else more worth the wasting of my time. Wouldn't matter anyway; if its gonna happen, it's gonna happen even if we try to avoid it." She looked up at the stars.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 20, 2010, 11:35:22 PM

"Sounds good to me!" she replied, "What'cha think about makin this boat move a bit faster?" she said as the current grew stronger and the boat rocked more. The aggressive waters pushed the boat, tossing it around, but keeping it on its course.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 21, 2010, 01:14:44 PM
Saul grabbed the railing as the boat began to rock around a little more. "Woah! Careful there..." he said, looking worried. "There's a lot of water down there. I'd hate to think what would happen if I fell in... Cause, um, I don't think I can swim."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on June 21, 2010, 09:33:35 PM
Kyla giggled, "You can't swim?!" The waters current only grew tauntingly stronger, "Then maybe I'd just have to go get you." She grinned, "Or I could leave you there for the fish."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 21, 2010, 09:35:22 PM

"Guess you will." she smirked, "Its a good thing to know." the waters never ceased to pull the boat around violently.

"Hey!" she laughed, "I'm a great driver!" she retorted as she made the waves rock the boat more. "Besides, I think my shift is almost over. Then its your  turn." she grinned.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on June 27, 2010, 03:58:07 PM
"Yeah... I'm just surprised you haven't awakened the others yet with your boat-rocking!" He chuckled again, a little humor in his voice. "Let's just hope I don't get some silly idea to make fireworks while we're sailing."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time

"Aren't fireworks romantic though?" She grinned, calming the water at the mention of the others sleeping.

Saul smiled, a huge grin covering his face. He moved up close behind Kyla and put his arms over hers, holding on to her as she steered the ship. He pointed upwards, and a small ember shot out into the sky, where it exploded in a dozen small bursts. He looked at her sideways, their heads about 2 inches away from each other. She could probably feel his internal heat as a dry warmth...

"Like that?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on July 05, 2010, 02:47:40 AM
She smiled too, glancing off at the spark, "Sorta only... I know you can do better than that." She watched as the embers faded away in the distance. On a cruise watching fireworks; this was turning out to be quite the vacation, she'd thought. Her initial reaction, to which she withheld, was the urge to pull away at the unexpected touch, but instead the warmth was welcome against her cold skin; a result of brisk night air.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on July 06, 2010, 05:15:15 PM
He brought in a hand that covered hers. "Oh... but I'd need help for that~" he said slyly, moving closer to warm her with his heat. He breathed softly, enjoying the tender moment the two were sharing. He sighed for a second, concentrating, before throwing up his other hand and shooting out a large flame that soared into the air, several hundred feet high, before exploding into 3 dozen different-colored streaks that lazily moved down to the water, where they sizzled out. He returned his head to its place on her shoulder, looking sidelong at her.

"Was that better?"

"Much," she answered, looking off towards where the lights had just been. She let herself fall back into him, welcoming the warmth. She turned her head just slightly in his direction, "What else ya got?" she grinned.

Post by: Soloxius on July 07, 2010, 12:15:00 AM
((Sounds like a fantastic idea, addy :D))

Post by: Adelaide on July 12, 2010, 07:58:24 PM
She stared off blankly for a moment, her mind questioning whether this was right or not, but resorting to the usual philosophy of going with the flow and dealing with consequences when it gets to that. She shifted her hands over his, curling her fingers around them, then exhaling calmly. "So..." she said softly, "I think I just started looking forwards to this trip." She smiled.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on July 12, 2010, 08:03:06 PM
He blushed, smiling warmly, as he looked at her. Her profile was nothing short of beauty itself, to him. "You are? I'm glad." He interlaced his fingers with hers and steered the ship long into the night...

("Aren't they beautiful though?" Kelly said in his head)
"Heh Just another form of a weapon." Daggron said covering his eyes with his forearm.

Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on July 28, 2010, 07:09:37 PM
"Because of you." she answered quite simply, staring away as the night grew into morning and the darkness turned to light.

Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on July 30, 2010, 10:41:20 PM
"Because of you."

Saul blushed red, burying his face into her shoulder shyly. His hands warmed a tiny bit as his emotions flooded forth from his mind. "A-ah... th-that is a bit of nice news..." he said. He lifted his hand and concentrated slightly, firing another fire work. This one produced an odd blast, somewhat shaped like a heart. His hand returned to hers on the wheel.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on August 01, 2010, 02:02:26 AM
She watched the firework explode in the sky and curled her fingers around his, "What happened to all that attitude of yours, hot shot?" She grinned, "Lose your courage all of a sudden?" She watched calmly over the horizon, 'This is nice.' she thought inwardly.

"I dunno, guess you really are like fire... sometimes the flames are out of control, and sometimes they are just calm warm embers." She answered softly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 01, 2010, 07:06:43 PM
He whispered in her ear. "Warm embers that you keep close when you're cold, heh." He thought he heard a rustling sound coming from the crow's nest, where Daggron was supposedly sleeping/keeping watch.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on August 02, 2010, 01:50:24 AM
The sun could just faintly be seen peaking up over the horizon; soft hues that reflected into the ocean appeared in the still dim lit sky, when a building could be spotted in the distance. It was massive in size, gloomy and dark even from a distance, with large stone towers surrounding it, faded from view by a thick mist. It in place on a strange piece of floating land, that seemed to be man made and placed there for the soul purpose of keeping the distant shrine afloat. Kyla's eyes met with it for a quick moment, "We're almost there." she stated flatly, "Wanna make one last firework? Preferably loud enough to wake the rest of em but pretty enough to end the night off with a boom?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 02, 2010, 03:16:56 AM
Saul smiled and kissed her cheek once more, softly and longingly. "Sure thing." He stood back from her, withdrawing his heat into his hands, forming a small fireball in his palms. He threw it up into the air with a grunt, then returned to his place behind Kyla. The ball sailed into the air and hung in place for a moment. "Boom," Saul whispered in her ear.

The fireball exploded loudly, a shockwave shaking the ship from bow to stern. Small glittering fragments trailed down into the water, hissing as they were extinguished.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Daggron13 on August 04, 2010, 12:03:54 AM
Daggron opened one eye when the huge explosion took place.
"I guess we are about to reach land..." Daggron said to himself as he lazily stood up in the crows nest. He looked toward the oncoming island.
("Oh doesn't it look marvelous? it's so breath taken!" Kelly said in Daggron's head)
"I better get ready we don't know what kind of things are on that island so I think I'd better get geared up." Daggron looked over the edge of the crow's nest.
"Watch out I'm coming down!" He yelled as he jumped off landing with a roll. "Awesome heh that has got to be one of the best ways to start off your morning!" he said to Saul and Kyla "I'm going to go get geared for the island... We never know what's going to happen." he said walking up to them.

Saul gave Kyla another kiss on the cheek and a hug, and released her from his warm embrace. He nodded to Daggron. "Right, I'll do the same. We need to be ready for anything... though I get the feeling we'll be receiving a warm welcome."

((Daggron, as a side note, realize that the seal is more or a cathedral on the water, and not so much of an island, also, tell Pryce he's a jerk, and happy belated birthday, he's never online, and because of that he didnt even get my secret birfday sprise that FW okay'd if he came around))

Kyla glanced back at Saul for a lingering moment, before back the immense building. "Well, I guess we better start docking."

As the words were spoken, Tamasa made an appearance, "We've arrived." She said apathetically. "Good, now we can really get started."

The boat was docked along the edge of the seal, as mist surrounded their feet and made seeing anything at a distance difficult.

"We better stay close, I don't think it will be easy finding each other in all this fog..." Kyla mentioned to the group.

Saul stuck close to the others and held up a hand, a torch-sized flame springing into place at his fingertips. He split it in half, placing each flame on his shoulders carefully. The fire obeyed his command, sitting in place comfortably and not eating up his cloak. He walked out in front. "I'll take point, unless you think you can blow away some of this fog, Daggron."

<The night of the Awakening, 1 day ago>

Joey woke with a start. The back of his right hand was itching furiously. He looked over at the clock, it was just 12 midnight. "What on earth is happening?" he said aloud, taking a look. Small fragments of light were converging on his hand, prompting him to give a startled cry. Tevya, the blacksmith who lived in the next room over, and also Joey's master, came in sleepily. "Oy, Joey, keep it down will you? I'm trying to sleep! What's the matter, anyhoo?" he said, cracking open one eye. Joey, horrified, held up his hand. "I.. I think my hand is burning! I need water!"

Tevya eyed the symbol forming on Joey's hand, and his eyes widened. "...this... this is..!" He turned to his young apprentice. "My boy! You are... a Holy One!" Joey, flabbergasted, went into the bathroom to try to douse the "flame" on his hand. The water felt cool, but the warmth remained. He glanced at it again. It was an odd symbol, one he'd seen before in old textbooks at school as a child. "I'm... a h-holy one?" he asked. He snapped his fingers and cried out: a flame had sprung to his fingers. He began crying furiously as he doused it in the water repeatedly, and hid in a corner.

Tevya walked in, eyeing the boy nervously. "Wh-what's wrong, m'boy?" "F-fire... I c-conjured fire!" The old man's face saddened. "...really? That's... fate is a cruel mistress, then. But we mustn't tarry. You need to be off to the Isle this instant! I'll pack your bags make some provisions for you." Joey simply nodded, still staring at his fingers in horror.

~Day of the Awakening~

     Walking at a slow pace, Marissa stared ahead of her, having passed over the border between Keigwin and Forsythe. ‘Mmm… The world seems much different now... more cold. But I won’t get anywhere thinking on it for long. I made the decision to leave and find my own way in the world and… well… it’s time to take responsibility for that decision! Still… it’s a little unnerving not to have a home to go to… I suppose I should find a spot to display the necklaces I have, and use that time to make more.’ The umbrella at her side sounds off at each tap against the ground, sending a chill through her chest, and making the ache in her right leg renew itself with each step. Even the sensation of the smooth stones against the scarred flesh on her thigh and shin, though soothing in quality, brings a heightened sense of irritation to the ruined skin.
     
     Finding a courtyard amidst the city streets, Marissa smiles at seeing a circular fountain with a wide lip and sits down slowly on the edge of it. Opening her white backpack, she pulls out a bundle of dark purple velvet cloth, and lays it against the stone. Setting out a few necklaces, simple ones made of black cord with a few brightly colored beads to either side of a wire-wrapped stone, polished and smooth, though a few quartz crystals appear in her work. Setting them out carefully, Marissa leans her umbrella next to her while a couple of people stop to stare at her work. Shy as she is, she does not speak to them, but watches them carefully, while choosing beads to make a few more necklaces as she waits, taking her time in wrapping a few choice stones.

     The day passes with not more than a couple of people purchasing her jewelry at a meager cost. Packing her wares away at sunset, she gives a soft sigh. ’Now all I have to do is find a place to stay… I suppose I should have thought this through better… Perhaps I should simply look for work gardening tomorrow? Or… it’s better not to think on such things for too long… a walk away from these buildings might help ease the stress.’ Gathering up her back and standing, stretching her left leg once, she moves onward through the streets in search of a grassy area to recline and look up at the night sky, stomach rumbling harshly. ’Oh, hush now stomach… we’ll get something later.’Finding at last a place covered with grass, rather than pavement, Marissa pales a little to notice the incline of a low hill throughout the patch of green. “Oh my… Well… I’ve come this far… “ she murmurs softly to herself, a few small beads of sweat clinging to her brow as she walks to this incline, and slowly makes her way upward. Stopping to stand still and rest several times on her way up, Marissa collapses to the ground upon reaching the top, panting and dripping with sweat.

     Rolling slowly onto her back while shaking the straps of her backpack from her shoulders, she lays looking upward into the now dark sky, smiling faintly at the twinkling stars above her. “I… I made it,” she whispers, a feeling of pride washing through her while her fatigue overwhelms her aching body, particularly her right leg, being stabbed through repeatedly with sharp pain, coursing through the scars and even, seemingly, through her bones themselves. Her vision blurs and her eyes close, leaving her in a deep sleep before long.

~Midnight/The Awakening~

     Shaken suddenly from her dreamless sleep, Marissa throws her eyes open wide, finding the world quite still, despite being convinced that a tremor had just moved the ground beneath her. “W-what… where am I…” she whispers, her voice sharp with panic as she sits, head reeling. Putting a hand to her forehead she focuses on calming the pounding in her head, imagining a clockwise spiral as her mother had told her to do, slowly moving to ease the pain. Opening her eyes, she gives a gasp when she sees around her several small pebbles and loose clumps of dirt raised into the air, most close to the ground, though some as high as the level of her eye, all moving in a clockwise circle around her. “A-ahh…!”

     A strange feeling seems to waft through her, moving from the ground beneath her through to her head, a sort of humming and then the presentation of thought. Unlike anything she’d ever experienced before, a notion presented itself in her mind. Hard to understand at first, the feeling frightened Marissa, inspiring within her the desire to stand. With a burst of motion, the ground beneath her bottom raises itself into a hill, throwing her upward onto her feet, and jarring her injured leg with intense pain. “N-NO..!” she screams, both startled and angered by these strange occurrences, whirling around to see the raised ground that had been beneath her before. Her eyes widen in shock, and she reaches out to touch the mound where a smattering of grass still clung to the dirt.

     The moment her fingertips touch the uprooted soil, her body feels almost immobile, almost as though it were a part of the ground itself. A thought presents itself in her mind as she sees the back of her hand illuminated, finding this odd, but almost natural. ’My body feels so different… like I’m filled with… no… that’s not right… like I’m made of rock… so heavy… hard… but I… I need to focus… will myself to move… I… I will you to move…! Move!’ With a sudden jerk, the feeling fades, though the ground around her, the soil and rock beneath her feet seems almost a part of her, like a large, usually immobile body part. Standing still, she focuses on the soil to her left, focusing on lifting it upward, like lifting her arm. After a moment, like a numbed limb, the dirt raises into a small mound. Pleased, if confused, she focuses on the dirt to her right, gaining a similar result with a little less trouble.

     Looking at the three small hills in front of and beside her, Marissa furrows her brow upward. “I… I didn’t mean to make such things happen. Perhaps… I should fix it… oh, I hope I can…” Closing her eyes and focusing on the piles one at a time, she imagines each of them flattening back into the hill, smoothing the ground as it had been before. When her eyes open, no evidence of the unnaturally raised ground remained, though the grass seemed ruffled. Opening her mind to the strange feeling more fully now, an understanding floods her mind. “… I have to move. There isn’t time to waste.”

     Grabbing her bag, she flips it onto her back, feeding her arms quickly through the shoulder straps, and grips her umbrella’s handle. Making her way down the incline of the hill to the streets, she winces at the pain in her leg, and the lethargic feel to the muscles there. The stones rubbing against her scars, however, incite a new sensation. Using her mind to focus on the pebbles that she’d wrapped into her fragile brace, she imagined them as though they were a part of her leg, moving in the same way that she needed her leg to move. When the movements themselves seem to become easier to make, though the pain doesn’t fade in the least, the improvement causes Marissa to breathe a sigh of relief as she heads steadily into the streets of Forsythe.

Joey moved urgently through the town, passing by each dark window and each closed door with a nervous determination to reach his destination. He was startled a few times by stray cats prowling the night for food, but kept going. Not everyone can keep going forever, however...

He stopped at a bench near the town gate to rest, panting lightly. He looked at his hand again carefully, noting the dull glow rising from the backside. He left it laying out on the bench as he rested, even as his mind was filled with images of the fire he now apparently had control over, each one more frightening than the last.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 02:38:23 AM
     Leg aching smartly, Marissa walked through the city streets, a sense of purpose driving her forward though her stomach churned with every step taken with her right leg. Forcing herself to think of her goal instead, she continued on past many a building in the dark of the night. Concentrating hard on the movement of the stones in her leg brace, a few pebbles on the street continue on with her for a few steps, swept up in her obsession with the motion. As she nears the gate to leave town, she is startled to notice, suddenly, the presence of another. Her eyes are drawn to the young man sitting on a bench, particularly to his left side before realizing with shock that the back of his hand is glowing, the way hers did.

     Moving toward him, Marissa keeps herself at a slow, cautious pace, wondering how he’ll react to her approach. “Sir… sir, are you alright?” she asks, closing the distance to about ten feet before pausing, waiting for permission of some sort to come nearer.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 04:23:11 AM
Joey looked up lazily at the sound of the woman's voice. "Am I okay? ...yeah, I'm fine, just resting for a long trek." He held up his right hand. "I'm traveling to the Isle of the Gods. Apparently I'm one of the saviors of the world..." He looked her up and down. His gaze stopped on her brace. "That's... beautiful."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 04:35:52 AM
     Grateful that the man seemed to have responded so well to her presence, Marissa came closer to the bench, using her leg as gently as possible, before sitting next to him. Looking down at her own hand, the soft glow emanating from it through the fabric of her green, fingerless glove Marissa turned to him. “One of the… saviors… I… oh my…”

     With a shake of her head, Marissa redirected her attention to the man next to her. “Beautiful, you say?” she asked, looking down at her right leg, holding it out just a little, wincing in pain. “A-ah… thank you… I made it… when I was recovering from an accident.” The scar tissue is barely visible from under her brace in their close proximity. "The Isle of the Gods, you say... yes... that is where I am going... p-perhaps... would you mind traveling with me?" Her head began to reel as the realization struck her sharply, the meaning of the strange occurrence on the hill and the glow of her hand... even the urge to rush to the Isle. '... how ironic... a cripple, and a chosen savior...'
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 04:40:20 AM
Joey glanced at her hand as well, noting the soft glow seeping out from under it. His eyes widened as he turned to her. "Y-you're one too?" He chuckled to himself. "Heh heh, small world!"

"...would you mind traveling with me?"

He grinned, stood, and bowed. "Not at all! Joey Fontain, at your service, ma'am." He held out one hand far away from his body and snapped his fingers, a soft flame sprouting at his fingertips. "And um... apparently I'm the Holy One of Fire." The new light illuminated the scars covering the entire left side of his body...
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 04:51:57 AM
     Smiling widely at his acceptance of her offer, Marissa sighed with relief. The sudden appearance of the flame surprised her, and she jumped a little in response. "O-oh...! I see! It's a pleasure to meet you, Joey." Her smile turns a little sad when she sees the scar tissue more clearly, but she does not mention this. Instead, she closes her eyes and focuses on small rocks and pebbles scattered about at their feet, raising them into the air, and making the first shape with them in the air that comes to her mind, a heart. Blushing a bit at the childish display, she directs the pebbles to swirl in a circle in the air in front of her, before letting them fall back to the ground. "My name is Marissa Kiefling... the Holy One of Earth, apparently."Holding her hand to him, she smiles softly. "It is an honor to consider you my traveling companion, mister Fontain."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 05:27:52 AM
Joey bowed again. "The pleasure is all mine." He held out an arm for her to take. "Shall we?" He noticed her leg again. "...or perhaps you wouldn't mind if I carried you."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 02:35:33 PM
     Face burning red with embarrassment, Marissa shakes her head quickly. "N-no! No... Thank you for the offer b-but... I couldn't bring myself to subject you to that. It's something that isn't going to go away so... I have to get used to it, you know?" she asks with a smile, using her umbrella to stand slowly, closing her eyes when the shock of pain that courses through her leg makes her face go pale and her stomach roil. "Nnnh... O-okay.... let's be off." she says softly with a quivering voice, slipping her arm through his with a small smile.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 04:16:21 PM
Joey nodded solemnly at her, smiling softly. "Woah there, let's take it easy." He began walking slowly towards the gate, and through it...
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 04:27:08 PM
     Touched by his courtesy in taking a slower pace, she begins to focus on the motion of the pebbles in her brace again, taking a little while to adjust to the rhythm, before turning to look at him. "Hmm... May I perhaps call you Joey, sir?" she asks, smiling.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 04:34:03 PM
He c0cked an eyebrow at her. "Well of course you can! I wasn't expecting you to call me Mister Fontain..." He blushed for a moment. "It's too formal for me." They walked down the road towards Keigwin.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 04:46:31 PM
     Marissa gives a soft sigh of relief at this. "I'm glad... I don't enjoy being overly formal... i-it's a little embarrassing. I just thought that maybe you'd feel better about it, since we've only just met. But... Joey... you um... your abilities..." She seems a little uncomfortable about something. "... Would it be too much to ask how you came to discover them?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 04:48:38 PM
He shrugged. "I just woke up in the middle of the night and felt a burning sensation on my hand. Most people would only be marginally upset at this, but you gotta know my background for this." He gestured at the burn scars. "This happened the same night my mom and little sis died, our house burned down. So you can see why I'm not the happiest camper with my power to control fire..."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 05:03:46 PM
     Looking at his face with an expression of understanding, and then of sadness, Marissa nods. "Yes... yes, I can understand... And I'm very sorry that you had such an experience. To move on from that to become as kind as you seem... you must be very strong." She gives his arm a little squeeze, and looks back to him. "At the least... if you can control fire... then you can stop it from hurting others, right?" She seems to be attempting to offer him a 'bright side' view of the situation, though sounding a little unsure of herself.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 06:34:55 PM
Realization shined in Joey's eyes. He turned to her and grinned. "Hey, you're right! I have control over fire! I can make it beautiful... or make it go out! ...we're going to make a good team, methinks~" He sighed happily as they passed through the forest into Keigwin.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 06:55:15 PM
     Smiling happily in response, she gives a small laugh. "I think so, too. Though... I... I hope that I can be of use... m-making little hills in the ground and making pebbles move around seems pretty silly, to me." she says with a blush. "I-in any case... I... I hope we get there quickly..." She winces a little as her right leg trembles in its brace. 'I hope this is not a serious mistake... fate has a sick sense of humor, it seems. How am I supposed to get anywhere with the kind of urgency necessary if I'm hobbling around at this pace?'
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 07:12:59 PM
Joey stopped just outside the gate to Keigwin. "Seriously, I can carry you if you want. It would be my pleasure, miss Marissa."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 07:24:46 PM
     Marissa bites the inside of her lips for a moment, considering it.

     'I can't let the poor guy go lugging me around...! Who knows what kind of strain that'd be on his back and legs... even my bag... it's full of r-- wait a minute.' Focusing on the rocks inside of her bag, she closes her eyes and imagines them lifting. The weight of her bag feels as though it was disappearing as the collection of stones within it float upward, tugging at the bag. The concentration strains her mind, but she nods a little to herself, letting the rocks settle again. 'I cannot deny that my pace is insufficient... and if he wants to carry me, then I suppose I should let him... at the least I can concentrate on keeping my bag as weightless as I can so that he doesn't need to carry so much weight... if it really bothers his muscles, I can always give him a massage later, right?'

     Nodding to Joey, she looks bashfully at him. "I... I'm sorry but... if you could, I would be very grateful. I wouldn't ask you to push yourself, though, if you get too tired, please take a rest at any time and... and if it's a real strain... I can massage your back and l-legs for you..." She looks down at her brace. "... probably one of the more useful things I learned from this..."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 08:58:40 PM
Joey nodded, grinning. "That sounds like fun~" He braced her back, leaning down to her legs, and picked them up with a grunt. "Heh, you're a little lighter than I thought! ...not saying anything about your weight.." He blushed a little at the close proximity. He walked in silence for a while, until they reached the first of the buildings in Keigwin, the sun just starting to come up.

He spotted a bench nearby and sat, still holding Marissa in his arms.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 09:16:51 PM
     Gasping a little at his strength when he lifts her, Marissa smiles at him, and commences to focus on lifting the rocks in her bag. Focusing on it the entire time exhausts her mentally, and leaves her unable to say much. When at last Joey decides to rest, she allows her mind to relax, the bag falling to the bench beside them while she closes her eyes. "Th-thank you...." she murmurs quietly, before fading into unconsciousness, resting deeply in mere minutes.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 09:27:12 PM
Joey noted her deep sleeping breaths and decided not to ask if she was alright, merely placing her on the bench next to him, and her head on his shoulder. This would look normal... and would be more comfortable as he too rested.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 11:01:55 PM
     Marissa makes a few soft sounds as he moves her, though her body remains limp. She lays against his shoulder without an issue, her body snuggling up to his side comfortably as she rests.

     In her dream, the world around her is completely dark. A feminine figure stands before her, skin glowing a dull tan color. Lips of brilliant red come closer to her face, pressing against her own, startling her. A sensation of belonging, of acceptance washes over her, and her lips continue to meet with the soft caress of this other woman's.

     Outside of her dream, Marissa's head is tilted and turned a little, and her lips meet repeatedly with the side of Joey's neck, little sighs of contentment slipping from her lips now and again. It had been perhaps five hours since she'd fallen asleep.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 16, 2010, 11:51:09 PM
Joey woke several hours later, feeling an odd sensation touching his neck. He turned slightly, realizing Marissa was kissing his neck softly. He blushed hot red, but didn't realize she was still dreaming, and thus turned his head to meet her lips with his, pressing them softly against hers.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 16, 2010, 11:58:57 PM
     Feeling the sensation on her lips change, Marissa slowly came to, her body still reacting and kissing, until her eyes opened and focused. For a long moment, she froze, her brain stopping, unable to comprehend the situation. Finally, she raises her head, looking around her, and down at herself. Giving her left thigh a pinch, she winced and blushed intensely, looking at Joey. "I... am.... so sorry..." she says quietly, mind still wrapping around the position she was in.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 17, 2010, 12:09:17 AM
He too blushed but instead sat back and smiled. "For what? All it was was a kiss between friends, yanno?" He scooched over closer to her and held her close. "I see now you were sleeping and dreaming about something, but the important thing is that I'm here for ya!"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 17, 2010, 12:15:25 AM
     'That... was not really all that bad, I guess.' Marissa slowly smiled in return and nodded. "Y-yes... of course~. Thank you, Joey... thank yo--" She is interrupted by the sound of her own stomach, growling loudly. "...nh... I'm... I'm here for you too, Joey~. But...! I think now is the time for us both to be there for our stomachs, if you don't have an objection."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 17, 2010, 05:26:27 PM
He raised an eyebrow at her response, grinning. "Sounds like someone's hungry! We'll never make it to the Isle if we die of starvation!" He leaned over, lifting her again, and began walking towards a bakery sign in the distance.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 17, 2010, 09:32:40 PM
     Marissa blushed lightly at his words. "Yeah... this is true... I'm really sorry... I don't want to make us slow or anything... so if there's ever anything I can do to help make things easier for you... please tell me." she said softly, looking down at her lap. "Oh! I should probably ask... what kind of foods do you like, Joey?" She looks up at his face curiously, before remembering to focus on raising the stones in her bag.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 17, 2010, 09:37:27 PM
He looked down at her smiling. "I like just about anything with bread, be it vegetables, meat, fruit... Sandwiches are the best kind of food in existence," he stated, stopping in front of the door. "You wanna help, huh? ...could you open the door, my arms are a little full." He grinned a little at his own joke.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on August 17, 2010, 09:40:34 PM
     Marissa looks apologetically at him for a moment before easing the rocks back down, then opens the doors for him. "Hmm... I'm fond enough of sandwiches... but I tend to like soups and stews a bit more. I like the texture of broth, I suppose... though soup is wonderful with biscuits!"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on August 17, 2010, 09:56:07 PM
Joey walked inside, setting Marissa down in a chair. He looked around for a moment quizzically. He had gotten a weird feeling for a moment, like a familiarity existed in a certain direction.

EDIT: Keigwin :D Kai))

---Kamden, Kari, and Myougami---

The group left, headed in the direction of altar, having taken Kamden's car, as Kari whined about having to sit in the back seat. They made good time but found they'd run low on gas just as they passed intoKeigwin.

They remained idle after having refilled on gas.

"I'm so hungry.." Kamdem complained.

Kari glanced over at him curiously, "Maybe we should stop for lunch?"

Myougami hadn't seemed to oppose the idea entirely.

((Bwahahha XD its hard god moding when you are trying not to god mode so thats my lousy post for them))

---Mitsuye---

Mitsuye roused from her slumber, having situated herself on the couch in the den, still having had the outlandish happenings of the previous night on her mind.  Having yearned for it to of just been a dream, a reverie of her imagination, she peaked around her apartment apprehensively, "Tama!" she called through the apartment, "Tama?" She exhaled, having no avail. Tamasa wasn't here. She’d never come back. She sighed deeply, walking into her room, 'Maybe she went home... I'll go see... I hope she's okay...' she took fresh garments, and shifted into the restroom, anticipating on bathing, and subsequently departed towards the upper district.

The town seemed peculiarly placid and inaudible; the sun sitting high in the blue, bright as it managed to touch her frail figure through sprightly branches and vigorous emerald foliage. She felt oddly wakeful and alert, energized despite having had a deprived night's sleep, as she strode laterally along the road side, humming softly. She was genuinely distressed over the prosperity of her friend and as she approached the large household she outstretched a hand to knock, gently.
Just as her knuckles softly met the surface of the oaken door, she perceived the glowing of some  unknown symbol on the backside of her pale hands. "What...?" she hastily enfolded her opposite hand round it as the door released.

“Can I help you, Miss Sauda?” the lovely voice of a fairly plump woman recited.

Mitsu looked to her inquisitively, “Ah, erm… Is Tamasa here?” she asked in an apprehensive voice.

“She was to be at your home for the night, was she not?” she interrogated.

Mitsuye tread back courteously, “Oh, uh, yeah, we’re just… playing a game! I have to find her, thought she came here! I’ll… go check the park again, thanks for the help!” and she ran off, looking at her hand in the process. ‘This is…’ she thought, realization striking her abruptly.

---Nixie---

Nixie’s trifling form slithered through the back door. She skimmed about her tediously, mindful that if she were not vigilant she’d be exposed in her escapades. Her theoretical predecessor, Vid Hatru, had kept her under fine guard; wouldn’t have desired his priceless experiment to retreat, shrewd of the rate she was appraised for. She scuttled across the soft jade grass, considering every window in the manor and regarding every eye that might spot her; if such an individual had discovered her method of emission, it would rapidly be rectified and she’d be trapped unaccompanied within the fortifications of the structure.

Detecting no one was around, and taking advantage of the instant, she shifted a slack plank in the timber enclosure that encircled the terrace, and just scarcely slipped through the opening, transposing the board back in position, immaculately and flawlessly.
Outside those confines was an utterly different domain; endangerment to be sought at every crook, and unmade innovations on each boulevard. Expressions to perceive; persons, that would gawk too at her, for being so youthful and allegedly alone, but conceivably even more so at her extraordinary exterior. Having been the product of genomic engineering she was far from your typical six year old, yet even so, her mind frame resolved to that of an adolescent her age, despite her astuteness going beyond that of the norm.

Her diminutive feet carried her preceding unknown fragrances and marvels, towards a source to which had grabbed hold of her attention; miniature cement turtles ejecting water from their mouths around a massive tortoise to which liquid cascaded from various geysers in his shell. Having been as sheltered as she was, she professed this as feasibly a reenactment of how turtles naturally were when living in their habitations and pondered why the ones she’d been permitted to keep in her allotment hadn’t acted in a similar manner. She was then carried by a differing sense, as aromas from freshly baked confections brought her to a bakery; she crossed the threshold into the shop, curiously and gazed at all the delicacies around her, to which she had so seldom been granted consent to indulge in. The cavity in her abdomen gurgled with pristine appetite as she approached the glass that divided her from that which she so strongly desired.

“Cookie…” she murmured ever so tenderly.

Joey led Marissa into the bakery, breathing deeply the scents wafting by of freshly baked bread. "Ain't nothin' like a fresh-made sandwich!" he said excitedly. He walked up to the counter and ordered a pair of ham sandwiches for the two of them.

Just then, a little girl walked up in front of him, staring at the cookies behind the glass.

“Cookie…” she murmured ever so tenderly.

He smiled and nodded to the girl. "And one of whatever she wants, mister."

     Blushing a little at the idea of being paid for, Marissa looked down at the little girl and smiled softly. Then, glancing behind them, she realized that no one accompanied the child. A little chill covered her arms in goose-flesh at the thoughts of horrible things that could happen to unaccompanied kids.
     "Hello, there~." she said in a kind, cheerful voice to the girl. "Are you with anyone, honey?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time

e smiled and nodded to the girl. "And one of whatever she wants, mister."

Nixie glimpsed up dumbfounded at the stranger as he gestured to her, and then gave a peep back near the cookies. “‘Dis one, please!” She poked at the glass, minute impressions smearing onto it. She gave a wide toothy beam to the gentleman who volunteered to purchase the indulgence for her, “Thanks, mister!”

"Hello, there~." she said in a kind, cheerful voice to the girl. "Are you with anyone, honey?"

She regarded the additional woman, precipitously drawn in by the divine voice; never had she known a voice as affectionate to speak verses directed at her, “Ahh,” she appeared as if she were lost in thought, “Nope!”

     "You're not? My, you're quite brave to be out by yourself, huh?" Marissa asked with a widening smile, masking her worry for the youngster. "Do your parents know you're here, though?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 09, 2010, 08:51:45 PM
Nixie stared vacantly at the woman for a prolonged moment, “Parents?” She was silent for another extensive moment, “I don’t have any parents…” She looked back wistfully towards where she anticipated receiving her cookie.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 09, 2010, 08:52:45 PM
Joey looked at the child, somewhat confused and worried for her. The sandwiches came out soon enough, though, and Joey motioned for the women to follow him to a table. "No parents..?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 09, 2010, 09:02:25 PM
     Wondering what the girl could mean, Marissa stands, the brace on her right leg making a soft sound as the wires rub together. With someone so short in front of her, she becomes conscious of the strange brace and the scar visible beneath it from such proximity. Tugging her skirt downward, she waits politely for the man to get the chosen cookie for the small girl. When he leans forward to try to hand it to her, Marissa assists him in getting it to the child by taking it and lowering it to her.
     "Here you go, sweetie~. Would you like to come sit with us?" she offers, turning toward where Joey had headed.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 09, 2010, 10:08:14 PM
"Yes please~!" She nibbled at the edge of the cookie, catching notice of the shiny gems and watching them curiously, while moving towards the table.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 09, 2010, 11:34:38 PM
     As they made their way over to the table that Joey had picked, Marissa noticed the girl's eyes drawn to her brace and she felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her as she took a seat across from Joey, blushing lightly. Tapping the seat next to her, she smiled warmly.
     "So, little one, what's your name~? I'm Marissa, and this is Joey." she said with a grin, nodding toward Joey during the introduction.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 09, 2010, 11:49:49 PM
Joey nodded to the little girl and started eating his sandwich ravenously.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 09, 2010, 11:53:43 PM
Nixie paused, "I'm Nixie~!" She chirped, "I used to just be GT-08... but Nixie is so much more sparkly, isnt it~?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:02:25 AM
     "Nixie, huh? That's an adorable name~! Hum... GT-08...? Would you mind if I asked where your home is, hon?" Marissa asked, still maintaining her smile and cheerful tone, tearing off bits of sandwich from what Joey had bought for her and nibbling at them shyly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:04:56 AM
Nixie co'cked her head to the side cautiously, "If I tell you will you make me go back?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:12:39 AM
     The thought hadn't occured to Marissa to force the girl anywhere, and so she shook her head with genuine surprise.
     "Huh? N-no, the thought hadn't crossed my mind... do... do you have a bad home?" she asked, a bit of concern leaking into her expression as she did.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:15:30 AM
"Bad?" she seemed to ponder the thought for a long moment, "I... don't think so? I'm just not allowed to go outside or be with other people or go to the city or eat cookies... I'd get in big trouble for having this cookie..." She hung her head as if in shame.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:19:36 AM
     Reaching over to the girl, Marissa patted her head in a gentle, affectionate gesture and smiled at her. "Don't worry about it hon, if you won't tell, I won't." Giving a little wink to try to brighten Nixie's mood, she continued on. "So, you're not allowed outside, you say? Doesn't sound like much fun... a growing girl could miss out on some really neat things out here, huh? But, if you tell us where you live, I promise I won't make you go back, since you seem to really not want to. Sound okay to you~?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:25:56 AM
"Hmmm... I live... In the big manor with.. the pond... and the turtles...and the garden..." Having rarely been given the chance to leave the manor, the concept a street names and addresses was unfamiliar, and so she resorted to describing the place in which she lived, "Its a big stone building... with... lots of windows... so they can always keep an eye one me, but today I got to sneak out! And.. I got a cookie!"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:31:08 AM
     "Hmm..." Having grown up in the area, the description leads Marissa to understand where Nixie is referring to. 'Huh... that mister Hatru guy... he has a kid?' she thought to herself momentarily, before smiling. "Yes, you did~! And how is that cookie?" she asked, not wanting to bring up an unpleasant thought for the girl after getting the impression that her home life was less than savory.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:34:16 AM
"Its yummy~! Thanks~" She answered back, she'd still not lost concentration on the brace around Marissa's leg, "Whats the pretty thing for?" she asked casually.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:36:51 AM
     Blushing brightly at the question about her leg brace, Marissa set down the bit of sandwich she'd been nibbling at, straightening up a little bit uncomfortably. "Oh... it's kind of like jewelry... mostly it's there to be pretty, but it also kind of helps my leg be stronger." she said in an unsure tone, wondering how to explain the concept to a child.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:38:48 AM
She turned her head, "Oh, I get it; it's a pretty brace!" She chirped, "Whats wrong with your leg then?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:41:07 AM
     "T-thank you, sweetie~! Hmm... my leg got hurt pretty bad a few years ago... it got cut deep, and now... now it doesn't work as well as it used to." Marissa explained, working to find words that a child so young could understand.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:43:03 AM
Nixie grimaced, "That's too bad... doctors couldn't help? Haley's doctors can't help her either... I don't like doctors.." she nibbled at the cookie more.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:45:25 AM
     "N-no... it... it got hurt too badly, I guess. But, doctors are people too, I suppose... they can't solve every problem... Who is Haley, if I may ask?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 12:48:14 AM
"I'm not really sure," she finished off the cookie, "Vid told me I was made to save her life, because the doctors couldn't help her and he could... with me... He didn't explain it well, but her organs are dying, he said, and she needs new ones and thats my purpose."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 12:52:11 AM
     Realization dawned in Marissa's eyes, though she guarded her expression carefully. "Oh... I see! That's... quite interesting... " she said, before turning to look at Joey with a plea in her eyes. 'I... need to regain composure... she's an organ farm for someone else... poor thing!' she thought, before turning her eyes to the window, to act as though she were looking up at the sky.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 10, 2010, 01:01:58 AM
Joey finished off his sandwich as Nixie told her tale. He too understood the situation. "Well then I think the only solution we have is to bring you with us! Surely they wouldn't mind if you went on a vacation, riiiiiiight?" He grinned.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 01:11:18 AM
Nixie glanced up wide eyes, "V-vacation? I..." she glanced down knowing what she was told, yet finding this opportunity to be a chance at great adventure. "I wanna go!" she finally decided. She stared at both of them paying close attentions to their hands, "A-are you guys sick too?" she finally wondered. She'd had the same mark on her own hand, but she'd perceived it as an infection and tried desperately to hide it from Vid; she wasn't allowed to be sick. She considered that perhaps it was infection and spread through contact or by other means.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 01:14:11 AM
     Marissa's eyes widened, and she thought in a rush of the penalties for kidnapping the girl, no matter her situation. After hearing Nixie's response though, her heart warmed to the thought, before she looked, startled at the girl, and then at the back of her hand where the strange mark peeked from under her glove. "S-sick? No... n-no, I'm not sick... honey, you have.... a mark like this?" she asked, surprised by this idea.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 01:16:23 AM
"Not sick?" she lifted her hand for better view, "Then what is it...?" she wondered curiously.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 10, 2010, 01:52:42 AM
Joey looked down, surprised. "You haven't heard of the legends? About the Holy Ones and the Devils? Basically, these marks mean that we are the chosen saviors of the world! We're gonna be the ones that save the world from the evil Devils. And we get super powers! I can control fire..." He snapped his fingers, and a small orb appeared on his finger, burning softly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 02:28:02 AM
     Marissa nodded at Joey's description, and looked to the young girl next to her.
     'She's so young! But... If she is one of us... we will need her to come along, kidnapping or not. We can't let someone rip out her guts and put them in someone else, especially not now...!' she thought while waiting to see what Nixie's reaction to the explanation would be, wondering what element this young girl would have control over.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 10, 2010, 03:29:08 PM
Nixie looked at the flame before her face lit up with excitement, "Oo! That's cool! You can do that too?" she asked Marissa, excitedly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 10:23:18 PM
     Blushing lightly at the display of Joey's abilities, Marissa then turned to Nixie and gave a small shrug. "I-it's... not quite the same... but... my particular element is earth." she explained quietly, unzipping her pack and opening the bag containing the stones she'd used for her jewelry. Focusing on a few brightly colored ones, she focused on lifting them, and floating them over to Nixie, where in the air she had them mime a juggling pattern before the girl.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 10, 2010, 11:51:21 PM
Joey snuffed out the flame, and held his hands together for a moment, opening them to reveal a small fiery figure of a bird, blue flames constituting the body with red flames for the eyes. "It's a gift... as long as it's used properly."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 10, 2010, 11:56:37 PM
     Hearing his words, Marissa turned toward Joey with a small smile, continuing to focus on keeping the stones before Nixie in a constant, slow motion. "Yes... that it is." she said softly with a small, genuine smile. 'He must be so strong... that terrible accident and he's handling his power so well...'
     As she looked on him for a few moments longer, her eyes drifted down the left side of his face, passing over his scars. Instead of expression disgust or sadness, she seemed to be relieved and pleased, though she chose to say nothing of her thoughts aloud.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 10, 2010, 11:58:27 PM
Joey gazed at his creation, petting it tenderly, sparks sizzling off it into his palm, but fizzling out instead of hurting him. He looked up for a moment, catching Marissa's eyes. He turned, blushing and smiling.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 11, 2010, 12:07:16 AM
     Noticing his blush, Marissa gave a soft giggle and had the stones lay on the table before Nixie in a neat row. Casting a glance down at the only slightly eaten sandwich before her, she pinched off another section and nibbled at it, slowly taking it in to enjoy the texture and taste of food, something which she'd grown appreciative of since leaving her home. Looking back to Joey, she reached a hand across the table to touch the back of his left one, grinning at him happily. "Thank you, by the way, Joey. It was very sweet of you to pay for Nixie and myself~."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 11, 2010, 12:09:01 AM
He flinched slightly at the soft contact, but smiled and blushed harder. "N-no problem... 's least I could do." He snuffed out the bird figure and rubbed his hands together.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 11, 2010, 12:14:09 AM
     Marissa's smile grew a little. "Well, if there is anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask, alright? Hmm... actually... I'd been thinking... You did carry me quite a ways so if you'd like I could rub your back for you, or your legs or arms if they're sore." she said with a thoughtful expression, before looking at him once more, with the request for permission to do so clearly written on her face.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 11, 2010, 12:16:06 AM
He blushed even hotter, sweat forming on his brow. "Uhhhhhhhhhhhh..." he said nervously. "N-no, I-I'm just fine, th-thanks..."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 11, 2010, 12:41:10 AM
     Wondering at his reaction to her offer, Marissa gave a little shrug, and continued to eat her sandwich. "If you ever change your mind just let me know, okay~? I ended up learning a bit about massaging sore muscles when I went through therapy for my leg, so you don't need to worry about me hurting you."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 11, 2010, 03:01:13 AM
Nixie glanced up at the two of them, "I wonder what I can do..." she murmured softly, before looking to the others and falling silent. She remained inwardly contemplating what adventures they were to set on... Seemed to her that ever since creation her only purpose was to serve others; save their lives but never preserve her own. Even the fact she was capable of thinking on this level at such an age proved her to be abnormal, though to communicate such ideas would have been entirely different.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 11, 2010, 03:52:21 AM
Desperate to call attention away from the subject at hand, Joey looked at Nixie, who appeared to be deep in thought. "Is something wrong, kiddo?" he asked, tilting his head to one side.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 11, 2010, 04:17:30 AM
She flinched having been thinking too much, "Uh, erm, nope! I'm otay! Just thinking... about... our adventure!" Realization hit her that she'd not be returning back to the manor... What would happen? How would Vid respond? Surely he knew she wasn't around by now. Then a ping of fear was instilled in her; she'd never been out of the manor long. She was always sheltered... The aspect of adventure and freedom still appealed to her better nature, but the worrying had yet to cease.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on September 11, 2010, 05:53:04 PM
"Adventure, huh? Should we get moving, then?" he said, standing up and stretching.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on September 11, 2010, 06:00:57 PM
     Marissa nodded in response to Joey. "Yeah... we should really keep moving I suppose..."
     Looking down at Nixie, she gave a warm smile and bent to kiss the child's brow. "Don't worry hon, we won't let anything bad happen to you, okay~?" Floating the stones into her bag except for a large, bright, multicolored one which floated toward one of Nixie's hands. "You can have that as a token of that promise, okay~?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on September 12, 2010, 05:26:08 AM
Nixie smiled as she reached her hands out towards it, "T-thank you!" she said holding the gem in her hands, which where cupped and moving it around in the light, watched as it refracted and reflected against the smooth cut edges of the gem. She jumped up and began to follow her newfound comrades.

Daggron continued along being a little distant yet still with the group. "This place...is beautiful... " He whispered to himself as he looked around. "So now that we are here what do we do now?" He asked the group.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 05, 2010, 04:39:51 PM
Saul shrugged. "I dunno, but I've got this gut feeling we should be looking for an entrance to the Shrine. Maybe something's inside that can tell us more?" He sneaked around the wall, keeping a close eye on his surroundings.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 05, 2010, 11:05:59 PM
Kyla looked the building up and down as she trailed her fingers along the wall, "I don't think there is an entrance," she noted, "How are we supposed to get in? Or we could forget this and just go home... I'm cool with that idea too."

Tamasa trailed behind slowly, "If you can't find the door..." she started, "Make a new way in." She looked to the others, "We'll just make our own entrance, might i recommend that way." She pointed to a stone window, surrounded by demonic statues, off a balcony. "Build a staircase up with the earth, and Saul can light the way up."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 07, 2010, 01:16:40 PM

"I would love to make a staircase... but I don't think we could walk on air... haven't tried it though. It could be worth a shot. But I don't think I can make that work for us." Daggron said analyzing the balcony.

He felt like he was staring out the eyes of a stranger. Having no control of his body, he was just the passenger. He tried to speak but he could not, his body was on auto pilot following the others and he could only watch. During his race with Kamden and Kari he used his power a lot and was withdrawn into his mind, no longer having control of his own body.
"Do not fret, this is not from straining yourself with power. You did not use much of it and although you aren't used to it, it hasn't weakened you."The voice was in his head, it sounded familiar yet completely new. It was like a hissed whisper, the sound a snake would make if it could talk and yet it was somehow comforting. "I just needed some time for you to relax and understand some things. I am your power, the power of darkness and we are a holy one. They say darkness is tempted to evil the easiest, but it is untrue. We are more like a lone wolf, we will not leave our team to join evil, we would leave our team to accomplish our goal alone. The shadow you saw the night of your awakening was me, and after now I will no longer speak with you. As you could tell that night, I can communicate with you in a way that requires no speaking and allows instant understanding. I felt that I at least owed you a verbal explanation this time, so that you did not doubt your instant understanding of a situation. I shall return control of your body now." And with those last words the voice disappeared and Myougami regained control of his body.
He looked around first at Kamden and then at Kari "I'm starving."

Kamden and Kari glanced back at him in unison, "Me too," they both replied together.

"We can get something in the gas station." Kamden offered.

Kari made a look of disgust, "Ew no, gas station food?" she grimaced, "What about that cute little bakery over there?"

Kamden grinned smugly, "Because you need more sugar, right?"

"I think it would be beneficial to our mission to save the word if I got a goodie." she responded promptly, "What do yoooou think?" she poked Mayugoumi (sp? its not in your previous post and I'm lazeh :D)

The city was quiet and quaint, people moved around a large fountain, with a bunch of small tortoises, and a larger one, the sound of water splashing as it broke the smooth liquid surface and rippled. Besides that their weren't too many businesses aside from a butcher shop, a farmer's market, the bakery, and a little antique store. Not too many options in the eatery department.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on October 16, 2010, 06:26:36 AM
"The bakery would be the best option. The food in there would be healthier than that of a gas station." He announced as he took the lead and walked into the bakery presumably followed by Kamden and Kari.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 19, 2010, 01:16:40 AM
The are out of the car. (I guess that was never mentioned?)

Kari skipped in front, spinning around as she turned to walk backwards and face them, "I want fancy little cupcakes~!" she giggled.

Kamden in the mean time buried his hands in his pockets, and watched the ground in front of him as he walked, keeping silent. He mauled the idea of what he was doing out here with this stranger and his psychotic sister. 'Man this is so stupid...' he concluded.

Just as Kari went to spin around forwards again, to walk through the door, she ran into a boy and stumbled backwards, embarrassed, "Uhm! I'm sorry! I didn't mean that~ I wasn't paying attention!" she hurried out an apology.

"Typical Kari," Kamden said stiffly, before he calmed down, and managed a laugh. 'I'm being too uptight.. maybe this will be alright..'

Joey looked down as something bumped into him. "Oh, excuse me! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." He looked down and smiled, holding out his hand to steady her.

Kari reached up the hand with the broken mark towards Joey, "Uh, thanks, sorry I'm a klutz." she murmured, glancing over at her twin brother.

Nixie stood close to Marissa, as the strangers approached, the two twins didn't look intimidating in the least, but the other took on a darker aura; she sensed something about him the shook her. She'd kept her attention on him for a long while, as the rest of the commotion began, looking to him with the ever some common curiosity children possess.

Joey helped the girl up, glancing at her hand. "You... what?" he said, confused. "You have.. the mark?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 19, 2010, 10:59:17 PM
She glanced at him, "I have.. well... I have half a mark?" she mentioned, "Why d- OH! You must be the other ones! Kamden, we found them!" she sprang up with glee, "Is this really all of us?" she asked counting all but Nixie. "Isn't one missing?"

"Ahem~!" Nixie sounded, peaking out from behind Marissa. "It's all of us! HOORAY! ADVENTURE~!!~~!" she giggled.

Kamden looked at all of the others observing their hands, "Wow... This really is real."

"Told  you so~!" Kari said, "Uhmmm, right, I'm uh Kari, and thats my twin brother Kamden; he has the other half of the mark.."

"Ahem~!" Nixie sounded, peaking out from behind Marissa. "It's all of us! HOORAY! ADVENTURE~!!~~!" she giggled.
He stared them all over seeing their marks and understanding that they were the other chosen ones. He noticed one of them glancing back at him with an odd curiosity and became curious himself. He wondered if something happened that had made him look unpresentable in some way.

Kamden looked at all of the others observing their hands, "Wow... This really is real."

"Told  you so~!" Kari said, "Uhmmm, right, I'm uh Kari, and thats my twin brother Kamden; he has the other half of the mark.."

"My name is Myougami" He announced and bowed low, he raised his head and stared directly at the girl who was glancing at him before. "Pleased to make your acquaintance." He stood up fully once again. "Have you all eaten? Would you mid if we were able to go in and dine as well? I have not eaten for some time and I am rather hungry." He smiled politely at the group.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 20, 2010, 02:14:36 PM
Joey smiled as they introduced themselves. "I am Joey, the Holy One of Fire. (Though I wish I could say otherwise)"

He bowed back to Myougami. "Pleased to meetcha! And sure, we just got done eating, but I wouldn't mind hanging around for a little bit to chat with some others of our 'kind.'"

"Does that mean I can has another cookie?" Nixie questioned playfully.

Kamden and Kari entered the bakery, one after the other.

---

Mitsuye sat in a seat at the far end of the bakery looking at the wisps of steam lifting from her cup of coffee. 'I don't know why I'm here... I just... Something told me to come here...' She stared at the mark on her hand, then up at the group of people seemingly surrounding the entrance. 'Rowdy bunch they seem to be..' she thought to herself sitting quietly where no attention could be drawn towards her.

'I should probably just leave..' she thought to herself quietly.

Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 23, 2010, 12:43:34 AM
Joey walked up to the counter and took out his wallet. "Here, lemme buy you guys something. I gotta get Nixie another cookie anyway, and I got lotsa money from my teacher." He pulled out a could of bills and pushed them across the counter to the baker. "Here, this oughta cover whatever they want."

The baker smiled and looked down at the money being pushed across at him. "Sure, I'll just- wait, what's that on your hand?" He looked closer, then jumped back. "Y-your hand... is glowing! You're a Holy One!" He grinned and looked at the hands of the others over the counter. "You're all Holy Ones?! Everything is free! Don't pay me, you guys are gonna save us from those nasty Devils, right?"

Joey blushed slightly. "W-well, I hate to just take from you... but yeah, we'll do everything we can to keep the world safe!" He grinned.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 02:06:42 AM
Mitsuye glanced up questionably; what had that man just exclaimed? It couldn't be that... She looked over the group again. She'd be driven to this town, to this bakery, solely because they were hear. She was meant to meet up with the rest of the supposed "heroes."

She stoop up quietly, and steered herself towards the one that seemed least involved in the conversation with the baker; this just so happened to be Myougami. "Erm..." she struggled for words, "uhh, I..." she bowed politely, "My name is Mistuye Sauda, and I..." she stumbled again, "You're a chosen one, right?" She glanced up at him, "I uh... Excuse me for my impoliteness I just, I think... I think I am one too..."

He looked at the stranger and smiled politely "Not at all." He bowed low to her and as he rose he ask "May i please see your hand?  That is where the mark will be to show if you are." He stood in a half bow with his hand extended politely and waited for her to allow him to touch her hand, all the while staring into her eyes and smiling politely.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 02:41:20 AM
Mitsu looked at him for a moment questionably, "Ahh, y-yeah sure..." She lifted the hand she was already aware there was a mark on, and placed it in his. "T-that's the mark right?" She questioned shyly. 'This is kinda.. awkward..' She thought to herself quietly.

He glanced down at the mark on her hand

"T-that's the mark right?" She questioned shyly. 'This is kinda.. awkward..' She thought to herself quietly.
He lifted his head and then looked back into her eyes "Yes, that is the mark. Nice to meet you, I am Myougami." He said as he let go of her hand and stood up straight. He cleared his throat preparing to get everybody's attention "Excuse me everybody, but this is Mitsuye. She is also a Holy One and shall also be travelling with us." He calmly announced to the other holy ones.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 03:24:26 AM
Kamden, Kari, and Nixie all peaked up at her, having not even noticed she'd been there.

"New friend~!!~!!~~!" Nixie chirped, "I'm Nixie!! HIYA!"

Kamden and Kari both looked back at the baker, finding food more interesting, "Hey." They both said nonchalantly.

"Kamden." One said, "Kari." The other ended.

"You have sammiches~?" Kari asked the baker, and the two of them started taking their orders.

     'My, my this is... getting to be a rather large crowd!' Marissa thought to herself as she smiled and followed along with the introductions silently. 'But then again... that is to be expected, isn't it?'
     When the baker smiled at the mark on her hand, she fidgeted nervously, tugging at the top edge of her glove to try to cover it, or at least make the mark more discreet. 'Oh... I do hate it when people stare... not like they don't have enough reason to at this rate.'
     When Mitsuye is introduced by the other new one, she turns and smiles at the other woman, before looking quickly around for a place to seat herself. Quickly, she heads to a large table and takes a seat, sighing quietly at the relief of her leg being let to rest.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on October 24, 2010, 04:05:54 AM
He turned to Mitsuye "I do apologize, but I am rather hungry. I am going to order myself some food. Are you happy to get acquainted with everyone or do you wish to accompany me to to counter?" He asked with a polite smile, happy with either decision she made.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 04:18:47 AM
"Well I haven't eaten yet today, I might it well, I have a feeling the opportunity won't arise again for some time." She commented, with a friendly smile, "And I think I'll have plenty of time to meet everyone! I'll get something to eat first." She grinned, her eyes looking at the signs posted with the bakery's menu as she approached the counter, gracefully. "May I just have a plain bagel with cream cheese?" she asked, "Oh and another coffee, I finished mine."

"Oh, right away!" The baker smiled, and he grabbed the things she'd ordered from the back, "Anything else ma'am?"

"No, that'll be it." She answered, handing money over to him.

"Oh no, I can't accept this, please keep your money." He replied smiling.

"Nope! I've worked in a bakery long enough to appreciate your work, and pay you for it." She smiled.

"I can't accept payment," he answered back stubbornly.

She turned her head to the side slightly, and replied, "Alright, then. Thank you very much sir." And she put the money in a cup on the counter labeled "Tips." She grinned and stepped back so that Myougami could take his order.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on October 24, 2010, 04:27:18 AM
He grinned at Mitsuye and stepped forward. "If the lady is right about not eating for awhile, then I best eat well. I'll take a sandwich with the lot, but double everything please. I'll have a coffee aswell, thank you." He smiled politely and the baker as he slipped a large amount of money from his back pocket and placed it into the tip jar as well.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 05:01:31 AM
The baker prepared the sandwich for Myougami and handed it over to him. Mitsuye led the way over the the table where she placed the bagel and coffee, and with a smile, took her seat, "Sooo..~!" she started, "Chosen ones, huh~!?"

Nixie grinned, "Cool, huh!??! We get to adventure and everything!"

Mitsu giggled at the kid's enthusiasm, "That is pretty cool!"

Kamden smiled, less cranky after having ate, "So... I guess we should try to get to know each other a but, huh? Seeings as to how we'll be chillin with each other for the next who know's how long."

"That's a good idea!" Mitsu smiled, in response.

"I concur!" Kari answered, "Who should we start with?"

"Ooo! Ooo! Me, me!" Nixie waved her hands in the air.

"Alright then, Nixie it is!" Kamden answered.

"Ahem!" Nixie cleared her throat, "I'm Nixie~Pixie and I'm six years old! I leik flowers and and and turtles! Annnddd..." she trailed off, "Adventure!" She thought for a minute and took a big bite of her cookie, "That's it, other than cookies of course!"

Mitsu smiled, she was quite a chipper little girl, "Uhmm who should go next?"

"We will~!" Kari said, volunteering her brother too, "Well, come from Keigwin... Our parents spend most their time in Ryoko running a popular theme park there, so we've pretty much lived on our own for a while, Kamden is cranky before he completely wakes up and eats-"

"And she's pretty pretentious." Kamden added.

Kari stuck her toungue out at him. "But otherwise we like surfing and hanging out and we'll pretty nice people, right Kammy?"

Kamden smiled, "Yep, guess so. So who wants to go next?

"Myougami should go~!" Mitsu suggested with a soft smile.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on October 24, 2010, 05:13:29 AM
He grinned at Mitsuye "If you insist. I am 17 and have lived alone for the last 10 years, as I was orphaned at the age of 7. I have spent my life travelling in the wilderness and making my living from selling..." He paused not wanting to say the hides of dead animals "That which I find in the forest of value. This is my first time in a large city since I was little, and I generally spend all of my time alone with my thoughts." He smiled politely at them all, as casually as if he had just told them time rather than his depressing life story. "I do believe it is your turn Mistuye." He announced curious to know more about her.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 24, 2010, 05:26:07 AM
"Oh uhm... well alright~!" Mitsuye replied, "Uh... well my mom owns a bakery in middle district Tatsu, but we live in the lower district, since we don't have a lot of money... My father walked out on us when I was about ten and ever since I've been helping my mom maintain the bakery and bring in some sort of income... I'm 16 and... well I have a best friend that I left back home.. She started freaking out last night and left.. I'm kinda worried about her, but I think she'll be okay... Other than that I just really like new people and new places and sunny summer days~!" She grinned, "Not much of an interesting story." She shrugged off.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 24, 2010, 04:30:33 PM
Joey piped up next. "Well, I've been working as an apprentice blacksmith ever since I lost my mom and little sister to a house fire... nothing interesting really happened until I awakened a couple of nights ago, and set out! I met up with Marissa here, and we came here, where we met everyone. That's about it, really."

He glanced at Marissa and smiled warmly.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: sassiecassie390 on October 28, 2010, 03:53:32 AM
     Blushing softly at Joey's grin, Marissa nodded and turned to the others. "I must beg your pardon, but I do not wish to tell of my past... it's something I am trying to leave behind... but I did grow up in Keigwin. I do not see myself as difficult to get along with, though, so I hope that I can become friends with all of you in time." she says softly, seeming embarrassed at the attention. She then leans back in her seat and looks sheepishly at each of them.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on October 28, 2010, 07:45:32 AM
Mitsuye finished her bagel and glanced up at the rest of the group, to which all seemed to almost be finished eating as well. It was suddenly very quiet, with the exception of Nixie's tapping of impatience as she tried preoccupying herself in the meantime. "We should probably get moving then, huh?" she suggested.

"YES!" Nixie sprang up, with relief and excitement.

"That would probably be a good idea," Kari commented, as Kamden seemed to start fishing in his pockets for his keys.

"We have a car parked in the convenience store parking lot, if you guys would, y'know, prefer not walk. Besides, I think she could use a break off her leg," Kamden mentioned, referring to Marissa. "I'm ready when you guys are."

Mitsuye gathered up her garbage and put it in the trash can, "Well, I'm ready! This should be a lot of fun!" She smiled warmly, trying to seem as confident as ever.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on October 29, 2010, 09:16:50 PM
Joey stood up, stretching. "To the car, then?" He looked around. (I sure hope the car can fit all of us...) he thought. He walked over to the door and headed out, standing in the warm sun. It felt wonderful on his face. (And just think... I can be warm no matter where I am..) he thought, holding out a hand and lighting a small flame in it. The heat against his hand was soothing, not burning. "Hm. Feels good."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on November 05, 2010, 12:11:02 AM
Myougami also stood up following Joey's lead. "It's okay we have plenty of room for all of us. It is a minivan, although I usually prefer the exercise in walking, I suppose it is best we all travel together. " He walked after Joey and saw him playing with the fire.
"May I ask you to not do that around me at all, I am the holy one of darkness and the light produced by the fire weakens me greatly." He smiled politely at Joey before walking to the van and waiting for everyone else to arrive.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on November 05, 2010, 09:18:24 AM
(EDIT: I am making it a van. I repeat, they have a mini van; those hold like 8 people... and since one of them is a kid... C: not much space bein taken up.. can be like a road trip :D VACATION ALL I EVER NEEDED! That also means you'll have to edit that post thar, since your character has already been in vehicle.)
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on November 05, 2010, 10:58:17 PM
Joey frowned at Myougami's comment. (My fire can still hurt people?) He quickly extinguished the flame by closing his hand and walked to the van.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on November 05, 2010, 11:57:01 PM
As they all gathered in, Kamden looked to the rest of them, "So where exactly are we headed?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on November 06, 2010, 06:16:37 PM
"Well you know of the Isle, right? That famous holy place? That'd be my first guess, heh," Joey said. "My gut says go west, and the Isle is in the west, so...."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on November 06, 2010, 07:58:08 PM
"I agree. The Isle would be the logical answer, I'm pretty sure from the tales I've heard it holds the answers. I also have the gut feeling to go west." He said while trying to remember what he knew about the holy ones and the devils.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on November 14, 2010, 09:00:13 PM
Joey climbed into the van, taking a spot where he could see out the front of the car. "We need to get going, I feel. Just... a nagging feeling that we should be hurrying."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on November 15, 2010, 03:21:54 AM
The van kicked into hear as they all boarded, and began driving away, and before long they were passing by cities on the freeway and made their way towards the Keigwin boating port, where the car came to a stop. "Can't drive across the ocean." Kamden started, "We're gonna have to get a ride via boat."

Kari hopped out, "That's okay! I love boats!"

Nixie observed the pier in awe, "I've never seen boats before!" She giggled.

Misuye looked over the vast waters, smiling softly. "Well, I guess we should get on that then, huh?!" She smiled as she skipped along the wooden planks of the docks.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on November 15, 2010, 06:08:14 PM
Joey was mostly quiet during the drive to the docks, quietly observing the landscape as it rushed past. When they finally reached the docks, he got out and stretched. The salty smell in the air... the ocean rushed up the shore under them as they walked along the pier toward some of the smaller boats.

"So're we just gonna flash our signs at them and hope they agree to take us?" he asked curiously.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on November 27, 2010, 10:16:58 PM
"That should work, I guess..." Kari answered, "C'mon guys! I'm captain~!" She grinned, "I want a cool hat!" She skipped along the docks.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on November 27, 2010, 10:41:47 PM
Joey followed nonchalantly, holding up his arm for all to see as he walked. "Just passing through, folks, don't worry, we're here to save the day, blah blah blah," he muttered to himself, amused at Kari's antics.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Girugamesh on December 08, 2010, 07:39:53 AM
He followed along not amused by Joey's antics. He was tired, to much had happened in a short period of time. He wished they would find a boat soon so that he could get some sleep. He examined everyone else, but no one seemed as tired as him, and if they were, they weren't showing it. He watched Mitsuye skipping along the pier with all her energy and couldn't help but smile. He picked himself up and regained his composure so that the others would not see him in such a state, he did not want them to fret for him.
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 08, 2010, 11:25:28 PM
((x.x Guyz I have too many characters in too many RPs and suddenly I am forgetting their names and/or switching them around :<))

Joey had gotten quite a bit of attention, which Kari used to her attention, "WE NEED A BOAATT~!!" She announced, "AND HATS~!!"

Mitsuye looked at the both of them, "I do not think that is going to be very successful..." She started, just as she bumped into a man who'd seemed to be approaching them, "Oops sorry.."

He was tall, with medium length brown hair and hazel eyes. "It might be!" The man answered back, referring to Mitsu's comment, "It just so happens I'm a captain of a ship, and I'd be more than willing to take you guys to Isle."

She looked to him startled, "I can't believe that worked." Kamden seemed to feel the same way, from the look on his face.

Nixie hid behind the group, cautious of the stranger.

"Well uhmm.." Mitsuye started, "I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd be greatly appreciative of that... If it's not too much of a bother..."

"What are you talking about?!" Kari interrupted, "I think death by devil is much more of a bother than giving us a free trip on a boat."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on December 09, 2010, 12:54:18 AM
Joey grinned. "It worked? Wow, I could get used to this!" He walked towards the stranger carefully. "Joey Fontain, at your service, sir. Where's your vessel located?"
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 09, 2010, 01:03:02 AM
The older man nodded, "Lance Sehhan." He gestured to a large ship in the pier, crew members carrying nets of fish off and into a fishery. "We'll just about done unloading, if you can hold on just a little while longer." He commented, "Then I'll have no problem escorting you there myself."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on December 09, 2010, 01:04:35 AM
Joey smiled widely. "A fine ship indeed, captain! How long do you think it'll take to get to the Isle? Kinda in a hurry.. I think."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Adelaide on December 09, 2010, 01:10:26 AM
"If we depart immediately... perhaps by late tomorrow afternoon, evening at the latest." He commented, trailing away, "Board when you're ready and we'll leave.. It looks like their finishing up."
Title: Re: Awakening of Time
Post by: Soloxius on December 11, 2010, 12:30:51 AM
Joey gestured to Kamden. "Well, it's your van, so let's get a move on, shall we?" He walked up to the boat and stepped into it carefully, feeling his weight shift underneath him as he became accustomed to the rocking of the boat slowly. He held onto the side and walked cautiously to somewhere where he could sit down, and did so.
