Elysia~

My head feels like someone is banging at my skull with a hammer. My eyes snap open. What happened? The last thing I remember is... the man. And my true identity as a kitsune, revealed, so well hidden that even I never knew once I had had my memory wiped. The DarkVanger. I whip around. The man must have knocked me out and taken me here. I'm standing in a large metal cage of some sort, and I can hear yelling and snarling from a few rooms over.

"Well, well, you're finally awake."

I jolt out of my thoughts and turn around to glare at the man. "Why am I here?"

"You know perfectly well why. You are here because you, a kitsune, helped stop the DarkVangers from winning the First Shapeshifter War. And until now you've been able to get away with it."

I twist and snarl as four armed men take me from my cage towards the door. "Let me go, where are you taking me?" I growl, but I am powerless against these four huge soldiers.

Suddenly, they thrust me forward, and shout in surprise. It's SJ and Tash, in their animal forms. The men run forward, still keeping hold of me. Apparently, something is not going according to their plan.

One of them turn to another. "Just do it. Put her in."

"What?" I shout, struggling, as they force me into the cage.

~~~

So, Elysia still does not know that SJ (at least temporarily) went back to normal human, or what's been happening to her. Also, stuff about Kitsunes, that you guys can use: They can have multiple tails in fox form, the more they have the older, wiser, and more experienced they are. The highest is nine. I think Elysia will have two or three. You can only kill a kitsune once you cut off all their tails. They also each have a thingy called a star ball, that they guard with their life. If you have a kitsune's star ball you can basically control them, and once they get it back they will seek revenge forever. This could be interesting... mwahaha!!!

Short post! (What is with me and writing so late every day?!) 

~SJ

"What did you do to her?!" Someone shouted.

"If I did something, I wouldnt tell you, even if I did do something." Tash responded.

But suddenly I was super dizzy. Nothing would focuse. My eyes kept blurring, then going back to normal, then blurring again. Colors swirrled in my vison. I staggered, and felt Tash besides me, holding me up. I leaned on him, and felt his knees buckle with the weight of a jagaur leaned against him. As I looked foward though, through the swirling of colors and noises and sences, I saw the face of a fox, looking at me with new reconization. I too, reconized this fox. Well, atleast she looked familular. And with all the jumbled memories in my head, I pinpointed her identity. "E-Elysia?" I whsipered. 

She snarled her teeth at me, her eyes narrowed, glancing at the metal cage and many men surrounding us, behind me at Tash, and back at me. Her tails lashed. Waight, tails? I saw two, no three, tails waving in the air. Everything was blurry and the colors were swimming together. She started stalking fowards, and I heard Tash hiss defensivly at her and he adgusted his weight. I stummbled, my claws slipping on the cool floor. Just when my consions decided to give up and I collapsed and the world faded, Elysia pounced. Her paws flew over my head...before everything went dark. Dark to a sleep I thought I would never wake from. 

~Jay

Two on one. What were we even facing? A girl with a bad atitude? What was her animal? I shifted, and Shadow did the same, slithering into the grass. As I watched though, the grass seemed to grow and ingulf around him. I blinked, shaking my head, before stalking fowards myself.

I used the walls and dark colors to blend in. If we were in a night setting, I would be doing a lot better with the camofladge thing. Shadow was so small in his snake form that he could pretty much dissapear in any dark corner he wanted to. I looked around, suddenly realizing I have no sighted pray to stalk. 

Then I heard it. A motion from above.

She was a bird! A mangy bird! I remarked on the high ceiling in he and grummbled to myself as she swooped down at a fast speed, talons outstreached. I reared up to bat her out of the air, claws out and pointed. She couldnt pull up in time, so she just angled her wings more and swooped down at me to swoop back up again. Her talons reached for my ears, raking just above my eyes, and I clawed a good amount of her tail feathers in half.

Blood dripped into my eyes and from the sky as I sunk back down to all fours. I snuck back into the forest, now realizjng how tall the trees were and how sturdy they looked to climb.  

Interesting plot twist Claaws! Also, is the thunderbird's appearence more like in north american culture design, or the harry potter fantastic beasts design? Or neither? Would like to know ;)

~Shadow

I gazed up in awe at the magnificent thunderbird form Jay took as he lept off the branch. It was certainly much larger than the opposing gyrfalcon.

We can do this! I slithered up into the branches with Jay, though i am a bit uneasy up in the branches. I grew as close as I can to see the battle.

Jay certainly is more powerful, but Aelin's smaller size allow (him? Her?) to slip between Jay's grasps. I decided to help out, revealing my mythical form.

I hissed, and made all the grass and some bamboo(which is a species of grass) grow tall to limit the space. Now the two are sometimes diving in and out of it, Aelin probably hoping she could use it to her advantage.

I smiled, and set the greenery aflame. Screeches of horror came from the birds for a second, but continued to do their thing. I couldn't fly, so I hooked myself to a branch and lit myself afire, except for my tail. Then I changed into a hook shape, and swung myself into Jay's talons. 

Now I was the weapon of one of the aztec gods. Jay quickly got used to it, holding me like a football and pressing my ridges to ignite me.

That's great, Kestrel! Just one thing, where is this castle? This is situated in modern times, I guess, so maybe you lived in a large house with a maid or two or seven, and then maybe Vanger found out where your parents were, and decided to kill them. Because well, he's evil and your parents were part of the origonal prophotized and he wanted revenge. It can be something like this, I don't want to control your charrie too much. It's just an idea. ;) Also, post on 32 days!

And Icy, I'm so glad you're back! NOW POST! *smiles evily* It doesnt have to be long, just a few words on what you were doing and who you were fighting. (Maybe Madi?)

Storm, I drew a pic a few pages back with Jay, his sirit animal form, some dark swirls, and his thunderbird, if you want to check it out. I might even post it again with a better camra. And it's gonna be another week untill I get that picturning done, I ripped the paper and am gonna have to start over. *sighs internally* And now I shall post, and it shall not be long because it is 11 and I'm tired.

~Jay

We were doing so well. Shadow had both his Spirit Animal powers and Mythical Creature powers running, and I felt so powerful in my new form...a Thunderbird was what Shadow told me I was afterwords. I felt so free in the air, and somehow it was like I had been flying my whole life, the air followed me and did what I told it to do...and then Shadow and I teamed up, and I carried him while he lashed out and forced the bird into the fire, I finally threw him at her, and to my surprise she made a wall of fire protecting herself. I circled over head, looking for an opening, while Shadow tryed and failed to make the fire part and let him through. I guess Spirit animal powers are stronger then Mythical creature powers. But then the fire rose, and spirialled off in all directions, burning my feathers and the forest secnery around us, burning down the walls and spreading into and burrning the other training rooms, untill nothing was left but ash. 

I limped fowards, scared of the pain I would feal if I turned into my lesser animals. My feathers were singed, burned to the point where I had fallen out of the air. Even Shadow was burned, and he is a FIRE SERPENT for goodness sake! A FIRE SERPENT!

Cynthia pulled the other shifters from the rubble, acounting for every last one. "I should have fire proofed these better." She hissed silently to herself. "Or we should ban the use of powers. It could kill someone." 

I noticed a medic was already going around and tending to the worse of the wounds. Aperently I wasn't first on their agenda, though 

Then I saw that the girl was awake. She looked emotionally exasted, her hair was burnt at the tips and her face was covered in soot. Her eyes were red and she had lines on her face from tears that were lost.

"Everyone is acounted for." Cynthia stated, as she layed the last soot-covered animal carfully on a soft blanket. "Except for one."

Anyone can be this one person, or we can choose a charrie that no one plays or that no one has RPed yet....(and the person doesnt have to die, something else could have happened)  

Tash~

The vangers drag me off through the corridors and shove me into an interrogation room. There sits a man with sickly white skin and greasy black hair.

"Hello boy." he said "I am Vanger. My associates tell me that you have some powers that may be useful to us..."

"I'll never help you." i growl.

"Oh, we will see about that." Vanger smiled mencingly. "I can be very persuasive..." 

Raaaandom apeearanceeee

I don't know where I've been,  but I have slept so long.....

Hallways and lockers twist in front of me. Hallways full og the answers we need. 

I hear a few words from where I am sleeping,  something outside of the realm of sleep. "She's the missing onr."

I struggle to stay inside the hallway. Here itbis--my mother's dream locker...

I remember her puzzle. It's a question about her family and who dad was.

And I remember something else.

I remember the writing on her locker. Her power. As I stand before it, my heart sinks. The prophecy. About the other shifters.  A prophecy I'm not in.

I know that mother didn't love me for myself.  She loved me for my power.  My one of a kind power.

I swing the locker shut and scrunch my eyes tightly closed.

When I opened them, I was awake.

Vanger's bane is here at last,

Look for Elysia, SJ, Caleana, Piper, Shadow,  and Tash...

The scale is tipping once again, the weight brought on by betrayal of a friend.

Remember what matters most, in the end.

And never stray, for the knife is slim;

You may meet your doom on a whim.

^ on her mom's dream locker

I was shocked. This was not normal fire that was released. I tried to shadow teleport, yet there was no shadow, only bright firelight. I screeched as I burned. Never would I imagine that I could feel such pain. Though the fire serpent scales protected me from much damage, I could still feel the pain of the fire drilling itself deep within me. Suddenly, all the fire was gone. I untransformed into my normal self, and I stood up. Some of the adults have already arrived and contained most of the damage, though, the fire has already burned the lights out, and a few flickred on and off dimly. I grabbed Jay and shadow teleported him with me into the health room(note i cant teleport individual people other than myself without teleporting myself with them). He seemed dazed by the sudden movement of space around him. I had landed in a trash can within the health room, and I quickly removed the lid to let us out. Jay groaned, definitely experiencing a lot more of the effects of the fire. The medics immediately went to work. One flicked his finger, and a rolling bed zoomed out of one of the rooms and picked up Jay into it's sheets. The medics then rolled the groaning Jay into one of the rooms. I tried to follow, though they forbid me to do so. "His emotional feelings may increase is heart rate, and therefore make him loose more blood." they said quickly. I sighed, and waited in one of the waiting chairs. Cynthia and some others quickly also brought some others who were in the arena that were affected into the medical place. One was of course Calaena, and the other I didn't recognise, being in animal form, but I assumed was to oversee the battle, though I may be wrong. I wandered around, and I encountered the room labeled Iridessa with plastic slidable letters, which means that this was not a permanent dorm. I entered, and there was Iridessa in her room. I hadn't last seen her since the attack(nevermind the training because it wont really make sense exactly). She was still in a sleep-state then. I sat in a chair next to the chair and curiously looked at her. She was breathing slowly, her eyes scrunched up a bit, yet she seemed peaceful despite her expression. Then she started thrashing a bit. Was it a nightmare? I shook her awake, and her eyes were opened up wide. "What happened?" she burst out. 

OMK GUYS! I just had the best idea EVER! We should go a whole week calling each other by our charrie's names! I've become pretty attached to mine, and have even acedently writen your charries names instead of your CB names when I was telling you something XD I've caught it though, clearly. Probably. SO anyway, What do you all say? And it will only be between us, and we can write with our charries names in our name box and get everyone super confused! Of course, if they ask we can tell them who we are, but not what it's for. Let it be a secret *smiles evily* So, tell me what you all say! :D

Also, Kestrel, how about your charries parents were involved in the origonal prophotised, and they ran away from Vanger in fear, found your other parent (who was royalty) marryed them and had two children who were the next prophotised? So that means you can't be over a thousand years old, because this was just recently, so maybe like 16 or 17? Is that alright? We sorrta made a plot for the whole mythical creature thing where it was a prophotized thing that one or two of our charries relitives were involved in, failed, and now the mission is passed onto the next generation with mythical creatures. 

Also, ICY! HI HOW'S IT GOING? :D Glad youre back! Also, JAY'S NOT INCLUDED EITHER *gasps* WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

And does anyone know how to get the other people to post? Like Leia and Zen and Leeli, wherever they went. They all like, posted once and then forgat about this. COMMON GUYS!  

Here is a short post, can't really find much to write about.

~Jay

Soon Shadow jumped us to the healing room after we sorrta figured out what had happened, seeing that I was suffering and needed the attenction on my wounds. Unfortunatly the teleporting caused us to change back into our base forms, humans. Humans have a way less pain tolerance, and while teleporting I didn't really feal it, but when we landed in that trash can I felt as if I would faint. SHadow even looked as if he was in pain, AND HE HAS AN AZTEC FIRE SERPENT AS ONE OF HIS FORMS! Shadow had to hoist me out of the trash can and I crummbled onto the floor, the world slowly fading and blurring. My ears buzzed with pain. 

The last thing I remeber before I passed out was crummbling onto something soft.

~Cynthia

"What did you do?!" I growled in the face of the girl, in her mythical form, who had started this fire. "We are missing ONE PERSON, AND THAT ONE PERSON COULD BE DEAD FOR ALL WE KNOW. You left MULTIPLE PEOPLE seriously injered, and YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO YOURSELF?!"

She blinked at me. "I-I-I'm sorry." She whispered.

I lowered my gaze, sighing. "Come on, let's clean those burns."

I helped her to her feet and lead her over to the healing room. As the medics got her all situated onto a bed, I could see the others cleaning the poor children's wounds. How would they know how to use their powers? They were just children after all. 

I glanced to a tinted plastic room with the name Iridessa scribbled in plastic letters on the door.

They were just children.

Guys, what if Madi is the one who's missing?!
