I stiffened as i heard Chris's words. "Then maybe that is why we are so different. I do not want to hurt others but you obviously do. That is why my siblings died. They went mad for lust for power." I decided then to strengthen the walls around Chris and change it into a floating orb. Flicking my tail i drew it over to me and looked Chris straight in the eye. "I killed ninety-nine people now and am on the verge of becoming a shadow Gaia. You want power? Let me show you the effects of having the energy of others." Closing my eyes i focused, changing the flow of energy in my head so that it matched Chris's, then sent a bolt of raw magic that threatened to burn out of my body into his. He would not be able to use it -just feel it. Feel the pain i had to deal with every moment of my life. I pulled away after a few seconds -wanting not to incinerate him from the force of the energy he had just felt. "Power comes from kindness and mercy -not from blind seeking. Dictators come into power then fall just as quickly. Only true power comes from when you do not wish to purposefully harm others -that is my curse." I said quietly, laying my head in Frank's lap to hide the troubled look on my face.
Frank i started scratching Wyndii's head once more. forgetting all about Chris and Jenny my mind started to wonder about Wyndii and the possibility of a relationship with her. although i figured that would be a disaster since i doubt ill live long after leaving i still have a few more people to kill.
"Ha ha ha!" I couldn't help but laugh as I felt the so called pain Wyndii had. "Such a sad story." I said in sarcastic tone. I stuggled to stand but my legs buckled under me but I kept smiling "Power doesn't come from being kind or nice power only exist in those that claim it Jenny here isn't nice. Power comes from those born with it or willing to seek it. And you think your little bolt of power is going to stop my quest for what I want. I don't care who you've killed or what you have gone through because in my case you play the cards you were dealt and I enjoy the cards I'm playing." I began to giggle "In fact instead of killing you Jenny I'd like to make a deal."
Wyndii Sensing that Frank was troubled i rolled over onto my back, growling and wagging my tail when he scratched my chin. Changing my energy's frequency i poked cautiously at his mind. If you want to say something just think it -the other's won't hear. I said, pawing his shoulder and grinning. Having power over energy forces came quite in handy at times. When i heard Chris's laughter i let go of him. He was drained and couldn't hurt anyone at the moment. "Fine Chris. Do what you want -it's you decision." i said.
thinking so only Wyndii could hear i thought "im not going to live long after i leave here i have people from my past who need to die. many of them are far more powerful than me so i doubt starting anything between us would be a good ideal."
Frank "why do you care so much for power Chris you want to take over the world or something?" i say still looking down at Wyndii
I stood up and approached Jenny. "Make me your knight milady I will serve you and promise you no harm if you grant me power to crush my enemies and return I'll crush yours. I ask of you Jenny make me yours." I said smiling holding out my hand to her. Don't get me wrong I still hated her but if I got to tap into her power I could draw upon the magic of the forest and show Wyndii what for.
Wydnii (I g2g after this post guys so don't do anythign that needs Wydnii in it) We all have enemies. I replied, considering what he had told me, and half-freaking out because he had just said that he wanted a relationship. I don't see why not -the Magic Council is after me and i'm still alive. We could team up.... I couldn't believe what i was saying but i did. And i realized that i had just put out a portion of my heart and was terrified of it being broken. Stifling a growl of exasperation i buried my face in Frank's leg.
Frank i tensed at Chris offer to Jenny but said nothing and then thought to Wyndii how would you like to know about my past? as i continued scratching her.then i remembered the part about a relationship and that i hadnt meant for her to hear that part teaming up on a suicide mission isnt a good ideal. i appreciate the offer but its...better if i go this alone. i hope i dont hurt her feelings or anything.....dammit she can still here my thoughts
Wydnii When Frank got flustered i burst out laughing, a silly grin plastered over my face. Suicide mission eh? When i was created i was sent on all kinds of missions like that for G.A.I.A. Beleive me you have no idea what kind of powers i'm hiding -and my siblings add to my strength when we all fuse our minds. I said, showing him an image of a labratory with large cylindrical tubes that held four kids from my point of veiw as i walked in to the sounds of ticking machinery and hushed voices. We were never normal to begin with, and to be honest i'd rather die fighting -it was what i was created for. Plus, would your enemies be able to defend against having all their energy drained away? Fat chance! A purr-like growl rumbled in my throat and i got drowsy. You are a way better sctatcher than you make yourself out to be...
Jenny Greenteeth "Chris....right? you want to join me?" Jenny squinted at him as if having deep thoughts. Then she grinned evilly. "Fine. I think that would work to my advantage. I haven't changed a human into a Feri before, but it should have...interesting...results." Jenny giggled raucously, but stopped short when her figure started to flicker, as if she was on TV and it was getting bad reception. "Ugh, lets get out of here, Needfyre's wards are hurting me. Ta-ta, puny witchlings! Kiss my shiny wand, hee hee hee!" Jenny swooped Chris into her arms and kissed his forehead--there was a huge green flash and the room shook violently. Jenny and Chris were gone, leaving behind green sparks outlining their body shapes. But the room continued to rumble,t he furniture jostling around the room and a few of the candles knockin over and starting small fires. It was mere seconds before Needfyre appeared in the doorway. "WHAT DID I TELL Y--?!", Needfyre began, but then her nostrils flared and she sniffed the air. "Jenny was here? How is that possible, the wards--gasp! It was the Ouija board wasn't it? That slippery Feri was probably waiting for someone to call her, and she jumped on her chance! But wait, where's Chris...?" Needfyre's eyes widened in shock and her lower lip trembled. "Is he...dead or gone?"
Wydnii "He went with Jenny -I think he plans to gain enough power to kill me." I said bluntly, sitting up and baring my teeth as my hackles rose. Know what, i was pissed off now. I didn't know why, but Chris had just woke me up to the fact that i needed to act the part of my strength. A few peices of rubble began to glow and float around me as my aura expanded, tendrils of liquid flame becoming visible around me as blue tattoos began to glow on my ebony fur. A deep growl rumbled in my throat as my fangs lenghtened and i became something like a wolf but more... sinister. I giggled suddenly, a cruel smile resembling my brother's coming to my face. "Guess i can't be what i wanted to be -so i will be what i was made to be." Suddenly the ghosts of my four siblings appeared, Cole in the front with his arms crossed and a smug grin on his face. He knew i had finally relented. "We will help -each of us can pair off with someone to boost their strength and give them a few... new abilities" he said, holding out his hand and revealing a burst of black flame. Dole held out his hand as well, revealing a small pile of sand that poured out of his cupped palm and kept pouring. Sydnii flicked her wrist and a thin vine came out of the floor, wreathing like a snake aorund her as Myndii hovered above the ground, wind whipping at her hair. All their eyes were glowing pale blue like Wydnii's, and similar tattoos marked what visible skin could be seen. "I will become a Shadow G.A.I.A." i growled. "I will become the Anti-Mage."
Needfyre "I will become a Shadow G.A.I.A." i growled. "I will become the Anti-Mage." "Wyndii, calm down", Needfyre said. "The last thing we want to do is start a war with Jenny Greenteeth. Don't forget she has an army of bloodthirsty fey around her, she won't be easy to get close too. Besides, we don't even know if Chris will survive the Change into a Feri. From what know about it, its a very rough ritual that sometimes ends horribly. I will make a plea to Jenny for his body back, but this is a very tricky situation--we must keep the balance on this island. Who knows what could happen if Jenny really started fighting us?" Needfyre sighed a world-weary sigh. "No, we must not act as of yet. Strategy is what we need right now." She took a deep breath and exhaled and then she was back to her old, powerful self. "For now, you will eat and then rest. We will talk again in the morning." That night while hte students were snug in bed, Needfyre contact the Magic Counsel in her amethyst globe to ask about G.A.I.A's. The mist in the globe split to reveal the Counsel members, they all wore dark robes except for the Head of the Counsel. She was a powerful but mysterious sorceress named Moira. She was gorgeous and scary at the same time--she looked like half of her face was made of stark moonlight, and the other half was deepest darkest shadow. Innocense and deadliness. Of course, Needfyre knew all of the counsel personally--they were the same coven of pagan witches that created Island X. Moira had once been Needfyre's mentor. Needfyre greated Moira with familiarity and casually asked about GAIA's. "How do you know about that? That's supposed to be top secret?", Moira snapped. "Oh, I have my ways", Needfyre answered quickly. Moira stared at her through the globe for a long time, before continuing to say, "GAIA was a failed project, a monstrous combination of science and magic. Highly dangerous and very powerful. The subject escaped...do you know where she is?" "Uh...no", Needfyre said with a straight face. "It was just my intuition of something. Nothing serious. That's all I wanted to know." "Are you sure? I can send somebody--", Moira began, but Needfyre waved her hand and the amethyst globe clouded over again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next day Needfyre woke the students the same way as before. The bouncing lights led them to the dining hall where they ate bland scrambled eggs and a glass of water and one bacon strip each. Then Needfyre took them to the basement, which was a rambling catacomb of dusty rooms. Waiting for them in a dimly-lit chamber full of yellowing scrolls was a wizened old wizard wearing a pointed velvet cap and a flowing robe. He looked up from his scroll and glared at them with shiny fox-yellow eyes. "What?", he asked rudely. "This is the master of the Underground Library, Mr Ezekiel", Needfyre said to her students. "You will help him categorise the scrolls and books. I will be working on negotiating with Jenny Greenteeth, so stay here and behave yourselves." She added in a urgent whisper, "And maybe he'll give you some insight about a certain Feri that we could use to defeat her..." That was their real mission, to get information. Needfyre winked at the discreetly and sauntered away down a dark hall. "And don't think about running out on me", Mr Ezekiel rasped in his paper-dry voice. "The rooms change around, you'll be lost forever!" He laughed a dry, raspy laugh and then coughed and spit into a vase. "Okay, now get to work. Put the scrolls in piles according to how old they are." With that, Ezekiel stuck his nose in his scroll and completely ignored them.
catogorizing scrolls was amazingly hard so i look over and wyhispher to wyndii "about helping me out if ya want to you can come. Now how the hell do you tell how old they are...i cant read." i say a little embaresed. joel, the man who rasied me, never taught me.
I practically flew down the hall in excitement. My firsy day of school I'm gonna make so many bestest friends. "You excited Junior?" I asked my sword. ("SILENCE YOU GIBBERING IDIOT I SHALL FIND A NEW HOST IN THIS SCHOOL AND USE IT TO CONQUER THE WORLD BWHAHAHA!") I smiled Junior is always making jokes. I ran straight through the doors of the library and shouted "Hello new friends my name is David!" my grin massivley wide.. I really liked smiling.
Samantha and I had place the scrolls in the right order as the demons I had told me what order. The demons in my head are the things that give me my outbursts but sometimes the can be helpful. I was thinking in my mind that what happened yesterday could go at least two different ways: -The School, Frank, Wyndii, Samantha, and I vs Jenny Greenteeth, Her Army, And Chris -The School, Frank, Samantha, And I vs Jenny, Her Army, And Chris, vs Wyndii I knew for either situation I would need more strength and to improve my new technique. So, last night I made a deal, such as Christopher did that afternoon. Last Night: I was sitting on my bead thinking about how I was too weak for the war that could be coming. I connected with the demons in my head to try and talk to them once again except without the chaos. One appeared before me. He started talking crazy. But I stopped him in the middle of his words when I mentioned the word favor. "I need a favor" I said. He looked at me..."What the fuck do you want?" he asked. "I need the power you guys have given me when ever you take over my mind..I need to protect the people I have come to know. I need to have enough power to stop Christopher, so Wyndii can be saved. And so Chris can get some sense beaten back into him. And I need to be able to get back to my worrying parents." I said. "What will we get in return?" he said as multiple spirits floated near him. "What we will get.." they all said in ghostly voices all of beat. "I'll give you the book..." I said almost hesitently. They all looked at me as an altar appeared in front of me. I walked up to the platform and put the book on it. "The second I purposely call on the power, the book is your's." I said. The altar started to sink into the ground as I ran off of it. "We have a deal.." they all said. I understand that the book is very rare and some unique powers that a lot of wizards do not have. And I had no idea what they would do with the book, but I know on the Earth I'm from, whether it is a different Earth from the rest of them, there were stronger people than me and even the Professor who could stop them. But I also knew the calling of this power would also make my sanity go faster than ever. But even with the power they allow me I could take on Chris or Wyndii. Present Day: As I though of the previous night. I pet Samantha's hair slightly and look at Frank and Wyndii. This might get real. I looked at David. Maybe he will save us,maybe he is the extra push. "Hello! What's your name?!" I said to the new kid.
"I'm David" I said happily and this is Junior. I said pointing at my heart. Because that's were souls are right?
I smiled "I can do so much stuff I can stand on my head, make the best fingerpaint you have ever seen and I can say all my ABC's." I said proudly they were gonna be so impressed.
smiling i walked over to david "nice to meet ya" i said holding out my hand. thinking to myself this guy is.....something else.
(David has inhuman levels of strength) I looked at Frank's hand and grabbed it and squeezed "Nice to meet you to!" I shouted, I love making frreinds.
letting go of Davids hand i say "so whats your power me im a werewolf. oh and that lovely lady over there is Wyndii." pointing at Wyndii.
"Power? Huh I don't really do anything I'm pretty strong but Junior helps me when it comes to that kind of stuff." I said cheerfully. "You can meet Junior if you want?"
"Junior is the sword that lives in he is really nice and loves telling jokes." ("I DON'T JOKE I SHALL DEVOUR YOUR SOULS BWAHAHAH") Junior said telepathically to Frank
