Ur Face

Kisho crept over, along with the other three to stand beside Ellimint and her deceased mare.

Ellimint laid her hand on the chestnut fur, covering Fuil's flank. "She's dead." she muttered numbly, feeling far too cold inside.

The young man was investigating, spotting Kopper on the horse's neck. Obviously he was trying to tell him something. On her neck, he found a fierce gash. She'd bled to death, or drowned in her own blood. It wasn't a clean cut. It was harsh and ragged.
He looked around and found what he was looking for. A sharp stone, it's edge ragged and blunt at some parts. "Looks like your ape friends weren't as stupid as they seemed." he said, crouching as he held the rock. "And they weren't too happy about us being here."

Sitting there, she closed her eyes. Complete darkness blanketed her, welcoming her presence. She felt hollow, completely empty. She couldn't believe how much pain she had welcomed into her life. And still she wondered how much more she could bear.
It seemed that's all Ellimint's life consisted of. But really, what was the point of life? To live, for what? And then after so many years of just living, you die. And suddenly your name is useless, gone without a trace. It vanishes off the face of the Earth and there's no way to get it back.
Holding her breath, she let herself drift further into the back of her head. It seemed as hollow as she was. But she had something to live for. She had to get rid of her brother. She and Ava had to do it. He'd kill the world if he had the chance to. And it seemed as if that was what he was working towards. They had to stop him before he could.
Elli's blue eyes flashed open, a piercing glare to their gaze. Now it was time to learn. I had to learn it anyway. she told herself, looking up at her friend and the two new kids she walked around with. "When's the next storm?" she could feel it. It was coming, it wouldn't be long before a thunderstorm rolled around. But she wanted a more precise timing than just her gut feeling.

"Soon, the storm will come soon." Ava said. She shooed the others away. Adding a soft growled to kisho to make sure he would go. The scared rose followed shiro away. Shooing the racoon with them. She slipped over to Elli. "I'm sorry this happened." She barked. Her non-moveing lips in a frown. She slipped Elli's arm around her. She nuzzeled her softly. She may be in the form of a kitsune of darkness, death, miseary, fear. THough this was fact, she still loved Elli like a sister.

The girl simply shook her head. Soon? Soon wasn't soon enough. She felt hopeless. But a goal had been set, and she had to achieve it, no matter how bad she felt.
She looked at the fox beside her. She was sorry? Elli was sorry too. Sorry she ever decided to bring Fuil here. But she shook her head, "Don't be. There's no reason to." she stood up, her face holding no emotion what so ever as stared hard past the lake. "I'm going to reverse it." she growled.

Kisho was pushed away from the teenager with dark brown hair. The odd bolt of blue still astonished him. "Pushy much?" he muttered, moving past the kitsune and the girl. Kopper stood upon his shoulder, finding his way up there as he was shoved off of his post upon the horse.
He didn't care. Now, he was to focus on the way he'd get back at Gentian and get Akki back, not to worry about the way the others felt about him. He didn't care if they hated him, he was still going to do what he had to in order to get what he needed.

Ava watched her friend. She flicked a ear in soft confusion, but the tiny black fox pushed it away.

Ellimint turned back to her friend, "I need a more precise timing. When is the next thunderstorm, Ava?" she asked with all seriousness in her blue gaze. It was vital that it was a thunderstorm, and not some wimpy sprinkle that drizzles upon the land. She could do that herself, she could cause a downpour to begin. But she couldn't imitate the lightning that came along with it.

Ava looked at the sky, the night sky, now to black to see anything. The storm had moved in. See could see clearly, but she knew the others wouldn't be able to see anything. Than the lighting broke the sky, the thunder boom. Than the downpour came. The light lasting a few second. THe water came down in big fat drops, that hurt they fell so fast. Ava looked up at the sky. The the chocker necklace her father gave here, poked out through her now soaked fur.

The young girl let a slight grin come upon her face. "Perfect." she said, her bloodied clothes now drenched in the fresh water. It was beginning to clean her, what a wonderful feeling it was.
Her eyes flashed, her night vision coming about once again. What a neat treat she had taught herself. And she didn't even know she could do it! "This is so awesome." she thought to herself, looking around. She tried to remember the cliff she had seen before, of course, she remembered.
She turned to her friend. "Hey Ava, can you turn into something that doesn't exactly exist?" she asked, her whole body tingling at the very excitement in the sky. It was almost as if she could feel each stroke of lightning that crashed against the air.

" I don't know depends, what do you need me to be?" Ava asked. Technically she was already something that wasn't real.

Ellimint grinned, "A griffin." she said, as excited as a young toddler about to receive a small piece of chocolate. She adored the Greek myths, and Griffins were her favorite creatures.

Ava sighed. "I guess, I mean I was a dragon before. Tough i'm pretty sire they were real at some time." Ava morphed her body to a griffin she looked at herself in a puddle. "I look so weird."

Ellimint crossed her arms about her chest and marveled at her friend. She heard as the bird-like creature screeched, and she suddenly felt a stone drop in her stomach as she realized that she couldn't understand Ava. Griffin's were birds, not canines.
Guess now they couldn't argue.
She stepped up beside her aviator friend, "Right. Now, I need you to take me up into the air. High, and make sure we're up above the sea. Let out a call when we're where we need to be. I'll handle the rest." she spoke next to Ava's face, hoping to god that she could still understand her.

Ava let out a hmph. She flew into the air, Elli on her back. She was out above the sea. "Can you say torture. Ava was being pounded by rain. She couldn't stand against it any more she way soaked. She started falling straight down. She quickly turned into t large blue watter dragon with a green and red tinting.

Ellimint was gazing hard at the sky, watching white streaks of lightning cut through the thick, dark clouds. Rain fell upon her skin, feeling like stones on her face. She blocked it out, forcing her mind to concentrate on the current situation. She had to. The fate of the world depended on Ava and her, and she had to do what she needed to help out her friend.
When she looked down and saw the deep blue, now black, waters of the sea below her, as she flew hundreds of feet in the air, she noticed that her companion was shifting and the soft and wet feathers she had been resting on turned to rough scales. She was a dragon.
The girl shook her head, blinking hard as she crouched up on her feet upon the dragon's back. "Whatever." she muttered, gathering one last breath. "Don't come after me." she growled at her friend, and leaped off the reptile's back.

The feeling was sensational. It was astonishing how good wind could feel, even though the rain felt like knives upon her skin. She almost let herself fall, enjoying the drifting feel far too much as she seemed to move in slow-motion. "Okay, let's do this." she said with a grin on her face, shifting a burst of air with her hands beneath her body as she pushed her palms against open air. The burst shoved her another fifteen feet up. Now she was deep within the clouds, her clothes now officially soaked. All of it.
Everything froze. Not even the rain seemed to fall now. Ellimint could close her eyes as she saw the blade of lightning come at her. She could even fall out of its way. It came straight at her, hitting her in what seemed like a lifetime.
Clenching every muscle in her body, the young woman took the hit. Her eyes clamped shut and she felt like she was blowing up inside. The electricity seemed to gather in the pit of her stomach, actually reminding her she was a bit hungry. It surged through her veins and forced her to cry out, but her scream wasn't a scream. It was broken up, struggling to carry it's long and lengthy notes of high measures.
Then, as soon as it started, it stopped. Elli couldn't feel a thing. Everything was numb and her eyelids felt heavy. She was stills suspended in the air, but not for long. As she reached the peek of her height, her head tipped back and she began her long decent. Gravity claimed her as it dragged her body back toward the great sea.
She could barely register what was happening, really. All she could feel was the numb sensation in her body, the heart of the buzz in the back of her brain. Letting her eyes close, she fainted, loosing conscience. The last thing she remembered seeing was Ava's form being shown. A beam of lightning burst just behind the dragon and outlined her form perfectly, creating a perfect scenery. Too bad she had no camera. But she didn't really care.

Ava slipped under the water. Her body like a snake she slid tourgh the rough churning water. She slipped her head torwads the skt and chuaght Elli on her head. A soft hurt began in the spot, than flew tourgh her whole head, giveing her a massive headache. Her groan was a rough bellow of a roar.

Wildly sitting up, Elli flashed her eyes open, a loud roar slicing through her body just as the lightning did. It sounded like a car engine beneath her back. "What the hell?" she looked up at the sky, momentarily lost.
It took her little more than a moment to remember everything, gather all the information back up. She leaned forward, toward the dragon's face. "Thanks Ava. I'd be dead if you didn't help me out." she patted her once on the forehead, a soft pat, and rubbed the scales in a soothing manor. She could only imagine the pain she was in, judging by the height she fell and how fast she was falling.

Ava blinked a soft your welcome, she knew she needed a excedrain now. Her head pounded, it was like her brain was pulseing.

Keeping her hand on the dragon's, trying to soothe it at least a little, she talked to the reptile. "Let's get back to the others and wait out the storm. If they stay out, they'll get sick or something. And I'm too tired to move the storm." she suggested, she didn't really care if the others got sick. She was just so tired, she couldn't stand being out for much longer.

Ava slipped into the water so that onley her head was out she slipped tourgh the water makeing it back to the island.

Ellimint kept her eyes closed and kept the rhythm in which the rain drops scattered about them, pounding into their bodies. They were nearly there, she could feel the life of the vegetation.

Ava turned into a large wolf when they were close enough. She ran out of the water and shook her fur, Elli no won her back. "Off my head is pounding, here I come Migrain relieaf. I knew it was a good idea to bring that."

The young woman obeyed obediently. "No kidding there." that buzzing sensation still rumbled through her body, from the rush of electricity. would it ever leave? She sure hoped so.

va ran tourgh the forest jumping over logs and eventlually into the lake.

Ellimint struggled to keep up, her limbs aching and tired. She felt clumsy among the vegetation, tripping over every twig and upturned stone. She actually fell once or twice, only to clamber back onto her unsteady feet and keep going. She swore she had two great bruises upon her knees.
Eventually, they made it. And they were back with the others.
Tired, cold, and absolutely hazed, she fell down beside a tree trunk and fell asleep right then and there.

Ava smiled she layed down beside her and fell asleep. It had been hours she slept her headache away, but she had nightmares running tourgh her head. She was remembering everything. Her life, it hurt to know how much she had hated her father at times. How many people that she hurt. Most of those people had hurt her few friends but. Now they had probley forgotten she ever lived. Ava sat up, gasping and cluching her heart. She was in a terrible cold sweet. She had woken screaming.

Kisho was up, late at night. Why? He couldn't sleep. Guilt, fear, and nightmares crawled upon him and seeped into his mind every time he even thought about sleeping. He could barely get in three hours before jumping awake, his tears flowing down his cheeks and he usually had no clue why.
He let his eyes go wide as he caught sight of Ava screaming her mouth off, or breathing hard. He couldn't exactly tell which came first. "Hey, what the hell is going on down there?" he asked nervously, a small knife in his hand as he tried to carve himself a new cane. A temporary one. It was coming out quite nicely.
He didn't usually see Kopper around anymore either, now that he was at the island. His little friend was usually off enjoying himself and came back when he was tired.
