I look back violet and ask are you ok.

Dawnfire

I sense Violets anger and know that Lokken must have pushed a wrong button, then I suddenly sense Nightrays worry and I perk my ears a bit to see if I hear anything. I hear Violet telling Lokken off, then Nightrays deeper voice asking violet if she is ok....Nightray can handle this I think to myself. I wander out of the stable to see the trio walking up to the gate and I take my same stance leaning against it waiting for them to notice me so I may direct them properly...plus I just wanna see Violets reaction to my lair, and Lokkens reaction to the pure power that runs through it. I watch them closely as they approach making sure to make eye contact with Nightray to let him know that I am ok now.....I smile to back up my conviction, adjust the bow on my back, and cross my arms. Violet is the first to say something to me.....

 

[Morgoth]

"I took my soul away as soon as I saw your power", said Lokken. They rode up to the great Crystal palace. It was almost a mirror image of his, but his was Black and had many more spires and towers. Then suddenly his eyes went pure blue, his pupils dissapearing. He lifted up off his horse and his head flew up. A little transparent thing flew forward, barely visible. Violet's head snapped up, except her eyes were black and she let out a scream. As nightray jumped at Lokken, he collided with a great shield. the shield sent him flying 200 ft until he smashed into a tree, ripping it in half. Dawnfire tried something but it fizzled instantly. The transparent thing flew into Violet, and a great mass of white, glowing pure neutral energy was drained out of her eyes and transported itself into Lokken. Then, they both flew higher into the air, but this time no one screamed. the white mass flew forth again, this time entering Violet's eyes. They both flew down on to their horses, and now the blue super energy shield shifted to only Lokken. "I'm sorry. But it was necessary to show you just how easy it was to leech that energy and how much of it there was", explained Lokken to the raging people around him. "I didn't even begin to sweat", added Lokken. They all looked at his forehead and saw it was true. There wasn't even the slightest sign of perspiration.

Dawnfire

I once again anchor my powers and put a shield up around violet....Lokken seems to be done but I am not taking any chances. I give the warrior a hard look my eyes a bright gold now my pupils wide...."For your own sssake warrior, never again attempt what you have just done..." I look to Violet and see she is extremely drained from her ordeal, I surprise everyone with my strength and take her from her horse asking Nightray to please take the mare to the stables. I slowly walk with Violet towards the gate then turn..."Nightray will help you with your horse then sshow you the way in......" I send a mental "WATCH HIM" to Nightray and using the winds carry myself and Violet into the castle to a room where she can rest and recuperate. I keep the shield around her but make it so she can tap outside of it if she needs to, and so we can communicate with her. I take a chair next to the fire and keep watch until Nightray can be here.....I growl slightly in my throat....

 

[Toku]

Raphael

Raphael smiles at Violet, "Yes, my princess, let's go inside," the pain in his wings is getting bigger, "I'm tired, maybe I can rest for a moment." He puts his arm around Celia, caressing her when they walk through the big doroway into the Crystal palace, it is even more beautifeul from the inside as from the outside. A big stairway goes up, they figure out the bedrooms must be upside. Raphael wants to admire all the beauty but the pain and fact he's too tired take his will away. Than suddenly a flash struck their eyes, followed by screams and other sounds. Celia lets go of Raphael and says they have to look, Raphael wants to, but tries to smile and says, "go ahead, I'll follow within a moment," after Celia disappears through the doorway downstairs Raphael leans against the wall, almost collapsing, than he sees a blue couch against the wall, not far from him, he walks towards the object and lays down, again he wants to go outside but the pain again stops him, he closes his eyes, thinks of Celia and drifts away in a beautifeul dream of him and her.

 

[Isolde]

Celia

After Celia witnesses the goings on outside, she shakes her head. They didnt need to go off and find enemies-they had plenty among themselves.

Walking back to Angel, she notices that he has fallen asleep on one of the couches. Her eyes cloud with concern and she stops, running a hand along his brow and leaning down to kiss it gently.

Stopping one of the servants who agreed to show her to a room. She stared down at Angel and shook her head. She had never tried to lift a person before and she did not want to drop him and injure his wings again.

Testing her powers very carefully, she raised him up off of the couch and let him hover there for a minute to make sure she could take his weight. When she was comfortable with it, she moved with the servant down the hall, 'floating' Angel beside her. Fortunately the room was not far away and she was able to carry him there and place him gently on the bed.

Smiling her thanks to the servant, she laughs softly to think that she had finally taken him 'flying'.

Sitting on the edge of the bed and stroking his hair, she is about to leave and ask for a room of her own when she thinks better of it and slips in beside Angel, pressing her back against his stomache and pulling the covers over both of them. Laying there so close to him, she falls into a peaceful sleep.

 

[nightray]

I jump at lokken and hes shild thros me throw a tree I lay ther for a minit and git up anger serging therw me hamering at the blok that Raphael put up erlyer. I stand and ster at lokkin and rage twisting my face but dounfire werds com me a littil I take the horse to the stabil trying cuntrol the rage.

Violet

OOC I tried to disuade you from attributing things to my character that she does not possess, but you pressed on. It was not the smartest thing to do. Do not attempt to alter what I've written.

IC

My eyes go blank as Lokken does something. It passes through me and I feel nothing. It's as if all my emotions are gone. Then I snap back to reality my senses dulled my body feeling about sixty pounds heavier. I glare at Lokken I tried to warn him not to do it. Yet he persisted, I rubbed my neck and went to my room fending away the requests for help. I asked Nature for some food and after sipping a few spoonfuls I put it away. It had no taste, I was numb, physically and emotionally. I sighed Lokken had done a very stupid thing and nothing I could do could change that. I had been creating a reserve of energy and now it was gone, and was replaced with an empty void. Lokken couldn't have known the stupidity of his action. I had worked with the energy reserve with my deceased lover and now it was as if it had never happened. That he had never existed. My mind was blank, I could barely recall the past few days. I would have cried if I had the tears and the emotional ability to call them up. But I was dead tired, my lifes work gone in one stupid stunt. I wanted to go home, to the life on the farm before the war. While Nature's palatial home was beautiful it lacked warmth, and nothing soothed my troubled sleep. Visions of death decay and cruelities I had never seen much less imagine.

I woke to an empty bedroom, it took me a few moments to recall where I was, I stood on unsteady legs and moved to a bowl of water, I splashed the water on my face and my flat emotionless oddly brown eyes reflected in the small pool. Lank lifeless white hair covered my head, my skin a lifeless shade of lilac. I tried to cry but couldn't, with a sigh of resignation I finished off the soup.

 

[Isolde]

Celia

OOC: If you dont like this post, let me know and I will get rid of it.

IC: Celia awoke a short time later, laying beside Angel. She could feel the rise and fall of his chest and hear his gentle breathing. She lay there for a time, wrapped in the pleasantness of just being with him and then her mind began to wonder and she cursed herself for being selfish.

The last thing that she had seen was Violet being taken in the castle and her friend did not look very well at all. Slipping out of the covers, she kissed Angel lightly and then went out into the hall.

Getting the attention of one of the servants, she got the information to the whereabouts of Violet's room. Hurring along, she came to the door and knocked. Not getting an answer, she gently pushed the door open and saw Violet sitting at the table looking very sickly and, for her, pale. Worry creased her face and she hurried in to kneel by Violet's side.

Looking up at the woman, she whispered,"Violet, are you alright. Is there something that I can do? Anything? Just name it and I will." She had befriended her when she most needed it and now she felt she must give something back.

[intriguess]

Violet

"Can you turn back time?" my brown eyes stare oddly at you. You swore they used to be violet. "I protected my power from ever being taken. Had Lokken tried to keep it he would have found it dissapating faster than he could blink." I blink a few times, shaking head as if trying to recall something. "For the time being I'm normal, no healing powers, no ability to diagnose or adjust DNA." I'm surprised I can recall that much. "I don't suppose there is a young pyrotechnic in our party?" I see her shake her head and I stood. "I didn't think so," I walked unsteadily to a window. "I can't remember him dying, but he must be, otherwise he'd be with me." I shrug, "I just don't care anymore." My blank eyes send chills down Celia's spine. "Tend to Raphael, you can at least help him."

 

[nightray]

I cum to violets room to see how she is doing I see that celia is alredy ther with her I stand in the door whoching whith gratil of sadness for whot she has lost. I also feel anger at lokkin for whot he did to her.

 

[Isolde]

Celia

Wanting to give Violet a hug, but not daring to after the look she gave her, Celia turned and left, saying nothing to Nightray.

Walking slowly to Angel's bedroom, she felt tears falling for what had happened to Violet. What were we to do now? The person she had looked to as our leader, even if Violet did not know it, was now an empty shell.

Walking into the bedroom, she looked on Angel and made sure he was still okay before sitting down on a chair and staring out of the window and letting the tears flow.

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

I sit in my library, the books stacking tree stories high and surrounding me on all four walls. I dig through the ancient books until I find the one with the spell I seek. I knew Violet was going to need help to get over her trauma both magical and mental....and I was determined to help her. Both she and Angel were going to need great reserves of energy to heal completely and if that meant sacrificing some of my own then it would be done. I continued to study the spells keeping my mind open for any sign of trouble. Ilooked up the spells Iwould need then walked over to my jars and herbs on the wall and began looking for the ingrediants I would need to do what I knew would have to be done. I started mixing the powders and herbs being careful to use the proper amounts. After that was done I took the knife sheathed on my leg and made a deep incision on my palm allowing my blood to mix with the other ingrediants. I watched as the concoction bubbled and smoked then finally calm once again. I poured it into two wine skins and mixed strong wine and honey in both. Neither would want to know what was in the potion. I shook both containers well and blessed them before placing them on the table. Once they had ingested the potions I could feed them energies from myself before they even knew what had happened. I knew it would take no time at all to renergize myself as I could tap into the earth but I would be completely defensless for about a day. I would have to entrust someone to help me with this....immediately Celia came to my mind. If anyone would understand what I had to do it would be her. I called a servant and told them to please get Celia and bring her to the secret room....alone, making sure that they would tell her it was I who needed her. After the woman left to do my bidding my thoughts turned to Violet and then to Angel. Soon my friends.....soon all will be as it should again....I grinned slightly and purred a bit in the back of my throat as I bandaged my hand.....Soon everyone would be right again. I mentally used the magical energies of the castle to change Violets room into a setting more like her old home, hoping it would help to comfort her, then closed my eyes and meditated knowing I would need all my energy at top strength to do this.......Celia would make the difference as to whether or not I survived this......

OOC: Minor things like reactions to things you have done is fine but please do not try to control my character......

Celia

Celia was still sitting at the window, tears drying on her face when there was a knock on the door and she looked up to see a woman standing in the doorway.

"The mistress wishes to see you," She says. Celia is puzzled but, after checking on Angel first, she follows the woman to a library where Dawnfire is.

The cat woman has a strange look on her face and seemed to be meditating. Slowly, she approached the woman and softly spoke. "You sent for me?"

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

I motion to the chair at my right and once Celia is seated cease the levitation I was using and take the seat on the end of the table. I look her directly in the eyes a position I rarely take with anyone and quickly explain what I am about to do...taking in her intial reaction to my idea. She starts to object then I stop her by raising my hand and explaining further. "Violet cannot replassse what she has lossst on her own....she draws her energies from without not from within as you do." I wait letting what I am saying sink in. " It was only through careful work and patience that she wassable to build up that reserve of energy that Lokken has now taken from her....I fear with out my help she will sslowlyweaken until..." I stop there giving Celia a serious look. "Now...Angel will eventually heal however his wingsswere damaged beyond his own ability to repair them, I think this elixer will make the difference between him being grounded permanently and once again taking to the skies that he loves...now here is where I need your help, I can do this on my own although it will completely drain me for I will have to control them both on a mild level mentally as I send the whiplashes of energy into them, it will be so quick they won't realize where it came from or be able to trace it." "What I need you to do is to help me keep them semi-conscious once they have ingested the formula....that will take some of the strain off me and I should recover in a day or so, if however I am forced to do this alone I may not recover at all." I once again look up at Celia the pain and worry for our friends in my eyes...."I have faith in you and I trust you...now Will you help me do this?". I place my finger tips together and prepare myself for her response and any questions that are about to come my way.......

 

[Isolde]

Celia

Celia bites her lower lip. Dawnfire had found her weak spot when she mentioned getting Angel into the skies again. She loved him desperately and knew he longed to soar above the trees again. But Violet...she may get upset when she found out what the cat woman was doing.

Looking at Dawnfire, she said,"Should we not ask them if they wish this? They may be angry if we try something like this behind thier backs."

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

I sat there a moment contemplating what Celia had just said, "Perhapss you are right, mayhap they would be willing to go along.....however they may not." An idea came to me at that moment....."BUT, if we only tell them part of the spell they would almost definately go along." I grin slightly and start to feel a tinge of excitement. "If we tell them only that they must drink the potion and that I can channel the energy into them they should go along.....I think the only way they would balk at the idea is if they realize the risk to me..." My eyes grow slightly sad as I again look Celia directly in the eye giving her one of my serious looks my slitted pupils dialated fully. "It isss their only chance at coming out of thisss.....If we wait Angel will never again touch the skiesss without help and Violet very well might not survive at all, Would telling them the details without letting them know the energy is coming directly from me soothe your conscious and ease your mind?" I smile slightly a soothing purrr once again in my throat, as I watch Celia mull everything I have just said around in her mind. Please, I thought to myself, this is the only way.....

 

[nightray]

I whoch violet littil bit longer she don't not me standing in the door. I tern to go to my room to see if ther is and close that wood fit me properly. One in my room I go to the closet and cerl my lip thers no black close it all green blus browns and whites. I sy and say well sins I don't like any of it I mite as well shock them I pick out a whit shert and cote white pants and evin white hiking boots. I put it all on and look at my self in a merer and cerl my lip. I look evin more pale and more gost like rather then a shadow it's going to be hard to hinde in the shadows but on the up side Raphial mite no be so scerd of me. Evin so I will chang back in to black the first chans I git. I tern back to the hall and whonder aronwd the palis looking for the outhers.

 

[Toku]

Raphael

The dream of Celia and himself flying through the air on a warm day blurs, drifts away and Raphael opens his eyes completely. There's a moment of disorientation, he expected to wake up on a couch but than he remembers Celia in his arms and sees someone has slept next to him, which could be no-one else but Celia. He sits up, his wings are slightly less painful, but he still feels the wounds and by the red spot on the sheets he notices his shoulder has been bleeding again. He walks towards the window and looks outside, at the skies, he quickly turns away his head, realising that with his state he maybe may never fly again on his own. He walks towards the door, opens it silently and walks into the hallway. He senses Celia, Nature, the Black Trenchcoat and Lokken, but misses Violet. than he remembers the strange happenings yesterday before he fell asleep and gets worried. He asks two pretty girls who walk around with some stuff if they know where the Violet woman is. They tell him she's on her room and tell him the way. When he walks away the girls starr to giggle and he blushes ofcourse. He gets to Violet's room, the door is not completely close so he looks inside, where he sees Violet, sitting in front of a mirror, she looks as if she's completely drained, her ees are red, she has been crying. He's for sure she does not want to talk to anyone, she's that kind of a person, being hurt from the inside. He takes a chair and sits down, looking at her through the mirror with a friendly smile.

 

[intriguess]

Violet

I spent time in front of mirror trying to recall beyond yesterday, I saw nightray leave and was glad to be alone. I didn't want the others to see me like this. My eyes got all pink and puffy as tears eventually flowed down them. My mind seperated from my body casting into my past my life, before Lokken, before Pyro's death and finally before Pyro. I took in a deep breath and returned to the present sensing someone had entered my room. My room it looked so much like the room I spent my childhood in. I tried not to remember those happier days as I slowly stood and turned to the person. At first I suspected Lokken but instead it was Raphael. I bite my lower lip. They was no way I could repair his wings now, I held out my hand to him and felt nothing no sense of his pulse or condition. It was like being blinded, I shuddered and asked why he was there.

I knew I must look terrible but I didn't care about anything, I sat down in chair trying not to let on how weak I was. I had lost my will to live and I was driftless sorting through any reason to remain.

 

[Isolde]

Celia

Celia fought with the implications of what they must do. She wanted so much to help both Violet and Angel and yet she knew that after it was over, she could very well incur their wrath for not telling them all of the details.

Finally her concern over the two won out and she nodded her head to Dawnfire. "Alright, I will go along with it. I may lose Angel and Violet may hate me for decieving me but you are right-we have to help them somehow."

Squaring her shoulders, she stands and says,"Lets get this over with and I hope I can keep my mind closed to Angel or else this thing will blow up in our faces."

Mentally preparing herself, she puts up a mental shield against him, something she hates to do. Wasnt there a time when she promised him no secrets between them? She realized just how naive she had been. After she has mentally prepared herself, she waits for Dawnfire to indicate it is time to go.

 

[Firegirl976]

Dawnfire

I watch Celia struggle with herself a moment then square her shoulders and place up a mental block. I shake my head slightly and standing touch her shoulder. "You cannot block out Angel..He will know for certain ssomething iss wrong and will be sssusspiciouss, even worried." I release her shoulder and bring her confused eyes up to mine. "He will definately touch your mind but if you simply keep your thoughtsss to how much you love him then all will be well...He iss not one to sssnoop around in peopless headss." I smile slightly, "and ssince I am not going to lie to them I will simply be leaving out something, you will not send out guilt in any way.....simply concern which is only natural." I will send them both a mental image just before I finish channeling the energies into them....it will sssimply sssay that I am ssorry." I look at her a mild hardness coming to my eyes at what I am about to do......"It will let them both know that I knew the risk..if you wish you may tell them I forced you by mnd control...however I do not think they will be mad at all, I think they will both go along with it and simply worry for the day or so it takes me to recover." This being said I sense Celia remove the mental shield I turn to go, walk out the door Celia close behind me and scan my home finding Angel and Violet together in her room. I also sense Nightray and his dislike of the color of his clothing. I smile slightly and send him a mild mental caress...."I will not give you black but I will alter your coloring." with that sent I picture the white outfit I know he is wearing and change it to a deep blue-violet like the shadows of the sky at twilight. It is almost a deep saphire in color and as he turn around a bit it changes from deep blue to deep purple depending on how the light hits it.....I know it will blend perfectly with the shadows and I sense his approval and smile at it giving him mental direction to the practice room where the weapons are kept and he can let off some steam. I reconcentrate on Celia and sense that though she is nervous she is prepared to do what is necessary. Here we go...I think to myself as we arrive at Violets room and I adjust the wine skins on my shoulder before entering Celia close behind me smiling....

OOC Does anyone not like where I am going with this....I am trying to include everyone and not leave anyone out, however if you guys don't like the direction I am taking I will smply change tactics Just trying not to take over so to speak...want to include you all

OOC I don't minde at all

I look down at the new coler of my close I send a mentil thanks and head for the wepins room I lost my sword in the fire so I need a new one. I wolk in and one wall with nothing but swords I wolk over and chus two japens stile swords with only one sharp edeg. I test ther balins and feel that it is perfict. I smile and move in to a fiting stans and begin my prates moving from form to form smothly and with out flo then I start speeding up untel my movments are a bler. I do this for an hour non stop always try to move faster and with prishin. I stop as fast as I started a fante shen of swet on my face. I tern to see a few pepil whoching my with amasment plane on ther faces aperintly theve never seen a blade master of my skill. I sherg uncumfterbly under ther sters.

[Morgoth]

OOC: Oh, uh, that's what you were hinting at?(laughing meekly) Shit Am I stupid!!!!!

IC: Lokken realixed too late his mistake. He sighed silently and then flicked his hand and the shield dissipated. "Damn", he said to himself and then rode into the forest. He got off the horse and flicked his hand again. This time the horse dissapeared. He cast something else and now a war-mare stood there, this horse bred for pure speed and strength. Lokken sadly mounted this horse and cast one look at the crystal palace. Then he raced off.
