Furbin~
I help Nenyala kick Flaimme into the dirt. She's unconscious. I swerve around, looking at Lightning. I race forward and then suddenly-
I aim my slingshot carefully. Patient. Careful. Fast. I let go of the string, sending the rock flying into the rabbit. The rock hits it's head, and I make the kill with my dagger.
I come back to our camp, a job well done. I turn into a wolf, to carry my prey in my mouth.
I don't make the big kills with the Hunter Wolves, because I'm too young. However, I still can go out and catch some small prey. We need these too, especially in these cold winter seasons. I shiver despite myself.
I bound toward Pernada, one of my friends here.
"Hello, Pernada!" I nudge him, but then I noticed he was distracted. "Is there something wrong?"
"Furbin... While you went hunting... Ternci called for a meeting... He... He said that you didn't belong here..." I always knew our leader, Ternci, had a grudge against me... But... "Yensang tried to stop him... He said being hybrid didn't matter... B-but he couldn't. Ternci kicked him hard." I gasp.
"Yensang... My..." My voice shakes. Yensang... The old wolf who took care of me.... Ternci kicked him. "...So... Did Ternci decide that I would leave camp?" Pernada tried to reply, but his voice seemed choked. He just nodded.
"Well... Then. I will leave. Am I allowed to say my goodbyes?" Pernada shook his head. "Fine. I will leave. Goodbye, Pernada."
"Goodbye, Furbin. May the woods never block your prey."
"You too, Pernada. Goodbye..." I nestle his fur, and, not looking back, I bound away.
I find my backpack, turning into a human to carry it. I stuff my tail into my pants, and put my prey into the backpack. Holding my slingshot tightly and my teeth clinched, I walk into the forest of leaves.
Leaves, leaves, and then darkness. I see tears... Oh no....
I call out, jumping on Menaya and turning into a wolf.
"You will not hurt Nenyala!" I snarl, fighting her. She narrows her eyes and stabs me in the shoulder. Suddenly Menaya's eyes open.
"I am causing to much harm... Can't I be good for once?" Menaya whispers. She raises her sword, and points it toward herself.
"Menaya... No... PLEASE NO!" She stabs her heart, my hand reaching toward her.
"Nononononono Menaya Menaya..." I cry out, shaking her. It seems like the world is frozen.
"Please you're not dead... You can't die..." I look at Menaya. Her eyes look at me, blinking once.
"At least I won't cause any harm to anyone... I did good..." Her eyes... Dead, a cold frozen look. I turn back to human, unable to hold my wolf form.
"MENAYA!" I howl.
I find myself on the ground, shaking my head, groaning in dispair. Who gives me these memories, memories I try to forget?... Menaya.... Oh Menaya.... I clutch my heart, mumbling to myself and groaning. Gretta is right next to me, holding me. I realize for a moment, everyone is on the ground, feeling their head and stomach. Memories...
I push myself up, turning back into a wolf, and grabbing Lightning.
Nonononononono Menaya Menaya...
Another scratch, claw the people who destroyed Menaya...
Please you're not dead... You can't die...
Another, and another.
At least I won't cause any harm to anyone...
A punch, more punches.... Tears of unhappiness...
I did good...
I slap myself onto the ground, not able to take it anymore.
MENAYA!

Saphina~
Furbin claws at Lightning. Lightning is helpless.
Suddenly--
Lightning crashes outside. A stormy night. The night of Halloween. Inside the mansion, Little Saphina is warm and protected. But she feels no love.
Her Daddy. That's all she really wants. Her Daddy. She curls up in a ball in his rocking chair, and lets out a sob for what seems like the millionth time.
"Ahhh! Daddy!" she cries, and hugs her knees tight. The door opens to the library, and Nonnie, the night maid, steps in.
"Child, why are you up so late? And what are you doing here in the library? Get back to bed! And don't make so much noise! The Misstress is sleeping."
Saphina lets out another sob. "Daddy, I want Daddy! Daddy would make everything right!"
"Come, child", the maid says gruffly, and lifts Saphina onto her hip to carry her to bed.
A tear slips down my cheek. I sniffle. I feel a warm arm around me. Nenyala.
"Daddy", I whisper.

Star Ruby~
No, don't allow yourself to be drawn in. I fight the memories, and break through. Flaimme is unconscious, and I cannot see Lightning. Gretta is standing further down the river, standing completely still, looking stunned. Furbin is lying on the ground, howling "Menaya!" In angiush. I don't see Leila either, so I assume she is fighting Lighting further down the river. Saphina sits on the rocky blank, crying "Daddy! Daddy!" Helplessly. Nenyala is still fighting Crystal. I launch myself back in the air, though there is little I can do. Suddenly...
Leila is lying on the floor helpless, with Kaster standing over her. His sword lowers, cutting across her chest. Leila... Leila... No... It was my fault, and now the wound still hurts her.
"No, no... my fault... Leila" Crystal bashes me in the legs, and I am falling. I'm helpless, I couldn't save Leila, I can't fight Crystal...
"A star," I croak, "please, just one star. I just need a little magic." I fall face-down into the river, overcome. Something hits the water, and floats down on top of me. My eyes closed, I reach out for it, sensing where it is. A tiny star, a tiny lump of magic, is in my hands. It comforts me and makes me stronger. I come up, gasping for air, the star inclosed in my palm. Crystal is standing over me, ready to kill. I throw the star, right at her. I can see its trail of heat slicing through the air...
(May 29, 2015 - 9:56 am)
Crystal screams as the star hits her. The elemental threesome aren't doing well. I rush around, waking people out of their reveries and painful memories (I have to slap Furbin, but he understands.) before plunging into another of mine...
It's dark. I wait by the lake, shedding a tear in memory of my sister.
A dark hand muffles my mouth and I scream...
I wake up quickly. Gretta's okay, she's taking down Lightning. Crystal is being overwhelmed. Flaimme is underwater and unconscious, she'll drown soon if no one does anything. We may still win this.
(May 29, 2015 - 12:39 pm)
Gretta
I fight Lightning, turning her every strike back on her. It's hard work, but even harder is focusing on anything but the orphanage.
Coldstone House was cold, indeed. Merger meals three times a day. Eight hours of sleep. And every waking moment that you wern't eating or sleeping, you'd be practicing your powers, forced into an orderly line in which you'd attack whatever the masters chose. When I turned seven, I couldn't stand it anymore. So I ran away and tried to survive for a year until Nenaya found me.
Stop it. You're doing it again. I think, refocusing. I blast Lightning with her namesake, forcing her slowly into a river, which will electrocute her and her efforts. Like we quenched the targets at Coldstone...
Shut up shut up shut up, I insist, narrowing my eyes and firing off blast after blast.
(May 29, 2015 - 6:56 pm)
I see the sword drawn acrossed me over and over again, the pain comes back as sharp as if it was first happening again, I scream and fall on the hard ground, tears streaming from my eyes. Star Ruby was next to me and I come back to reality. Shaking I look around me, my heart beats once, twice, I'm alive but I have major burns all over my body, I prop myself up with my hand and look around. Ruins is what meets my eyes, and fighting, Gretta and Tuna are fighting hard, but they are weakening. I look arounand realize we are lost, it's over, they have won. Just then something caught my eye, a bright light growing brighter, I realize it's Star Ruby.
"Star." I whisper, "What are you doing?"
"Saving you, I can generate enough force to bring down the threesome but I have managed to shield our company from my power, Tuna helped me with that.
"No, what will happen to you?" I ask horrified
"I couldn't save you before,"she said looking directly into my eyes, "but I can now."
"No!" I scream, "We can still take them!"
"Look around you, we are dying one by one, but my power will linger in the sky, I'll become a star, look upon it and remember me."
She grew very bright and I blacked out it was too much for my weakened body to take.
If this is too abrupt an ending we can prolong it, just an idea I had.
(May 29, 2015 - 9:11 pm)
What if Star does sacrifice herself...but it doesn't work in the way she expected? Nenyala is able to do a spell that rewards bravery and gives second chances if Magic deems the victim worthy? Of course, we need Rosebud's permission as this really affects her character a lot. Not going to post now because we still need her permission.
(May 30, 2015 - 6:08 am)
Cloudy Dweller just asked why I was so excited, and I said in a dramatic voice: "I died." She accepted this as normal :) I don't think this is too abrupt, Forrest, it was actually along the lines of what I was planning.
(May 30, 2015 - 6:53 am)
Crystal~
My crystal body gleams in the light of the coming dawn. I look around. Flaimme is underwater... impossible to drown but not good. I raise my hand, and the sand and pebbles in the stream compress to create a solid rock spire rising out if the water with Flaimme on it. She's nearly gone out.
"No matter," Flaimme says. She pulls tendrils of fire from the ground and incorporates them into her body. She is her firey form once more.
I'm being kind of overwhelmed here. I send up tendrils of rock, moving fluidly, and wrap them around Star. I pull them back down and form a fist. There are shouts from the fighters as they ding themselves sinking into solid ground. Lightning and Flaimme use this to their advantage, ready to send a wave of flaming water onto them and send them fury from the sky.
"Wait." I ride a wave of solid rock over to Nenyala. I've fastened her to the ground but didn't make her sink yet. I walk up to her and say, "You turned River to ice. Now..." I snap off one of my crystal fingers and plunge it into her chest. Another one grows back instantly. There are gasps as from the feet up, she starts turning gray and hard. I laugh triumphantly.
"...I shall turn you to stone."
(May 30, 2015 - 10:44 am)
Star Ruby~
"Remember that our souls are stars, our souls will always be connected, and you will always know where to find me," I say to Leila, repeating the words that Thitsan said to me all those years ago. I had retrieved the star I threw at Crystal, and as I began shooting upward in a blast of light, I dropped it, knowing that it would always protect Leila. The Elemental Threesome would never be able to destroy their souls, now. The world turns black as my soul and body seperate, I am still Star Ruby, but I will never be the same again.
(May 30, 2015 - 12:24 pm)
Saphina~
And the world goes still. Star Ruby stands there, still and cold. A blank look on her face. Leila struggles to get out of the pile of rock, I pull her out by the hands. She runs up to Star Ruby.
"STAR! What happened? NO!" She starts to weep. and then, though I feel no breeze, I see Leila's hair wave. And for a second, one second that I know will never come again, I see Star Ruby's shadow, floating along. Dropping pebbles at our feet. I see a little silver-gray pebble land near me, and I pick it up. I pocket it, and I start crying again.
Daddy.
Menaya.
Star Ruby.
Such an awful list.
And then:
Nenyala speaks. "She is not gone. Her soul and body have seperated. I can bring them back together, but..."
"But what?" asks Furbin, icily.
"We need 8 people. We only have five."
I look up. "The threesome."
(May 31, 2015 - 6:06 am)
Wait, What? I'm confused. I thought Nenyala just died because she turned to stone.
(May 31, 2015 - 10:16 am)
Somebody, sorry... no. You literally had four charries, I only have one. Anyway, I made this rp. Also, we should make a good plot for this before ending it. Seriously.
(May 31, 2015 - 1:00 pm)
Star Ruby's soul turned into a star, so for that last phrase I was kind of being funny by saying she was "Still Star Ruby but would never be the same again," because she is a star ruby now. So, yes
:( she is gone.
