Mordrick sighed figiting a little now and again. "But how?! How do you expect us to continue coming to these meeting, how do you expect up to find these bells with out being caught, and worst of all if we get caught we'll all be sintanced to death. Just incase you didn't already know." He said pointing out a few things. He sat back down fluttering his wings some.

Sage rolled her eyes. "What do you want us to do?" She asked softly, willing to do anything to help. Her blue wings fluttered a little as she fixed her dress. "I think we can do it if we try." She added. Her brother Willow stood behind her with a slightly worried look on his face.

"Oh great so now we get to listen to the healer, who's never had to worry about anything but what herb smells better in her life." Mordrick said disprovingly.

Sage looked down at her hands. Healing was very important and yet so many insulted her for it. Willow glared some at Mordrick. "That is enough! Hotaru is right, we want peace then we need to do something to bring it about." He said with a slight growl.

"i never said there wouldn't be a risk" Hotaru defended herself "But we need to do something, we all know the Battles are about to start again and who knows what would happen then, some of us might get hurt, or worse" she added softly "and I would like to ask you to try to gather information just now so we know a bit more"

"I agree with you Hotaru and Sage" Hinaata smiled " We al need to do what is best for everyone not just us, we can't just do nothing anymore!"

"NO! Hinaata you can't get involved with this!' Naroko began but got cut off by the determinded expression Hinaata had

Mordrick sighed. "Fine, I can get infromation on the laws, and find ways around them. I can aslo make a copy of all the jail cell keys in both villages so that if anyone gets in trouble I can get them out." He offered softly.

Sage looked down softly. "If we take to long though." She started pulling a closed flower bud out of her bag. She held it out for everyone to see. "Then our cause will be lost, in the wages of wars and blood spill." The flower floated out of her hand and bloomed into a brillant flower. " And everyone will suffer." She finished softly as the flower wilted and finally turned to ash falling to the grass below.

"Sage is right we should make hast on finding these bells. You say there are 9 but are there nine sets of two or just nine?" He asked softly.

((Alrighty, let me post my bio up then :3 Then I shall post with my charries right after, hope that's okay!))

name: Celene
gender: Female
age: 14
Butterfly or Dragonfly (or other if you wish): Butterfly
personality: Celene is a very quiet sort, withdrawn and usually does not say much. Her strength however comes from her empathic abilities. She can read and influence others emotions... however that being said it is easy for her to be overloaded from those emotions as well. She, when overloaded, reflects those emotions around her rather than her own.
bio: Celene really, lived a sheltered life. Her parents, concerned for her heath, kept her inside quite a bit. However, one night, tired of it, Celene left the house. It was that way she ran into Flitch, and the two realized each other's races were not so bad after all...
appearance (picture or detailed description): Celene has soft, very light blue hair tied back in twin braids. She is fond of dresses, silk, and furry textures, as well as ribbons in her attire. She always wears very soft colors, pastels. Her wings however are a vibrant black and violet.
other: Not that I know of! :3

Flitch watched the gathering's proceedings with arms folded across his chest. These were important he knew, as important as any meeting could be. The Bells of Faith... he had heard rumblings of the story before. Pondering a moment, he smiled a slight.

"Information huh? I can do that!" he said, then grinned a slight. "Father works the forge and is known as a tactician so the important guys come in all the time to talk. I'm one of his apprentices so you better bet he'll let me listen in too!" Celene, beside him, shook her head.

"Flitch! What if you are found out? Oh please..."

"Oh come on, give my brains a lil credit here okay?" Flitch asked, before gently ruffling her hair. "I won't allow myself to get in trouble. I'm smarter than hat silly girl. Sheesh, you're going to go gray worrying about me like that! Or worse... wrinkly! I want to help!" Celene studied his determined brown eyes a moment, before nodding to herself.

"I want to as well..." she said quietly. "Everyone should do their part..."

"But... your empathy! What if you get in front of an angry crowd and..."

"Shhhh... I won't allow myself to be hurt. Because... I won't allow you to be hurt Flitch-kun," she added, hugging him around his waist. Flitch blushed deeply, down towards the one he considered like a sister o him.

"Oh geez, not in front of everyone Celene!" He said, embarrassment lining his face in the form of a rapidly growing blush. "Aaaaw man..." He grumbled, glancing towards the others with a sheepish grin. Celene was known for clinging to Flitch like this on more than one occassion!

Sage stood up and started looking at the plants around her. She couldn't help it normally she found them to be better conversation then people. She was searching for one in particular. But as she bent down to examin it Willow graved her and sat her back down on the stump she had been sitting on a bit embarrased as well. "Sage stop getting distracted." He said sternly.

"Sorry Will. I can't help it." She said softly.

"Learn, or this will never work, nor will your healing." He stated sternly. He wasn't angry at her or anything but he wasn't the nicest guy around. He was very strict about consentration since that was the key to both of their feilds of work.

"Yes Willow." Sage said softly looking down at her hands.

Mordrick rolled his eyes. "Alright tell me something dragon girl, if you where going to lets say heal someone and you had two cases a butterfly and a dragonfly fary both needing you that moment or they would die who would you choose?" he asked looking at Sage wanting to prove a point.

Sage thought about it she imaganed her brother needing her then Mordrick needing her she closed her eyes and looked down. "I would help the dragonfly first." She said softly.

"I don't think that was fair Mordrick." Willow said harshly.

"Mordrick please don't ask that kind of questions you know they're unfair. Sage, i think we're really lucky to hae you with us with you knowledge of herbs, we could need it" Hotaru smiled at her, they could really ned for if they were to be found out.. 'NO'she said to herself 'being negative doesn't do us any good!'

"I could ask father about the bells without making it seem suspicious, I might just want a wish for myself" Hinaata said

"Hinaata, what is you are found out, I doubt being the daughter of the head who do you any good then would it, I think mother knows a good deal about myth and stuff and she knows I love them, I could ask her.." Naroko said

Mordrick held up his hands. "Yes ma'am." He placed them back in his lap watching everyone.

Sage smiled a little and nodded. Willow looked around looked up at his bird who dropped a peice of paper down to him. Opening it up he sighed. "You guys go on with out me. I'm being called by my father." He said softly giving his sister a hug before running off.

Sage sighed softly and shook her head. She found the plant she was looking for again and flopped down to its leavl looking at it. "Oh, this was a great spot to meet. There's a rare flower here. I wouldn't have found it with out help. Hello little flower. I'm just going to take one pettle and that is all." She said softly as she gently plucked one petal from the flower and put it in a small bag.

Mordrick looked at Sage curiously. "Are we sure she isn't insain?" He asked softly.

Flitch had raised a brow at the question of which should be healed first.It was rather an unfair question indeed... but one that had viability. After all, to accomplish this, they would have to somehow take out all of the things that had been ingrained in their heads since birth. To say it would be an uneasy task was putting it mildly at best.

After much struggling, he had finally managed to pry Celene off of him. With an exasperated sigh, he ruffled her hair. "Ya can't keep clinging to me like that," he muttered. "I have to breathe you know?" Celene blushed again.

"Sorry," she said, looking over towards Sage as she talked to the flower. Celene tilted her head with a slight curiosity. "I am curious but do they answer back? Can you hear them?" Celene asked, never having seen someone talk to a plant so gently.

"Celene... that could be mistaken as a rude question," Flitch gently chided.

"What? I am just curious!" she explained, blushing once more as she clung to Flitch's leg this time. "I didn't mean anything by it, honest!" Flitch facepalmed, shaking his head.

"Honestly..." he said with a sigh. What a motley crew this was hmmm? But he did hope they could find the bells. Anything of use would be good right now. Because as it stood... peace was still a dream.

Sage giggled a little. "No thats alright." She said softly. "Some of them answer some of them don't. It deepends on their mood. Tree spirits are always talkitive so they always answer or want to tell you something but most flowers don't want anything to do with you. Then there are those plants that just don't talk at all. They prefer to only speak amongst themselves." She said with a nod. She looked around the group and seemed to pull away from the gaze of Mordrick who appered to still strongly believe that Sage had completely lost it. "What?" She asked him.

"You've lost it, your mind is gone! Where'd you drop it? I would very much like to find it so that I know if I'm ever hurt you can heal me with out the use of poison ivy." Mordrick said softly.

Sage sighed and picked up a rock throwing it at him. The small pebble changed into a bubble of water and smacked him in the forehead drinching his face. "Your not a very nice person Mordrick. I dont' see how your my brother's friend." She said softly. Her voice was a bit shaky and she seemed upset. "I'm going to go drop off the herbs we had a really sick young lady come in today and I think the new plant might help." She said softly standing up and walking into the grasses. Her blue wings fluttered some makeing a reflection on the ground like water.

"Bye Sage!" Hinaata called out, she liked the way she talked to the pants, like they had feelings, like they were humans, or fairies for that matter.

"Now you've done it Mordrick learn to be a bit more sensitive, before you know it you reay hurt someone!" Naroko said sharply " Some people realy take what you tell them"

"Naroko what makes you think Sage is such a person, I don't think we should underestimate her strength"

"Well she just seems so fragile like she could be torn apart so easily. She seems like a flower herself, one of the flowers she adores" she added

Mordrick looked at Naroko. "She got me wet!" he said grumply. "Fine I'll try but I can't promise anything!" He said softly.

Sage heard them call good bye. "Bye!" She yelled back befor running into the village. She gave her mom the herbs she had gathered and grumbled as she was sent on yet another erron. This one she could wait to do. She flew above the ground having a whole ball worth of water in her hands. She giggled a little as she dropped it on Mordrick.

Jumping up Mordrick gasped. "You little twit I'm going to get you for that!" He yelled flying up and tackling Sage a bit harder then expected seeing it sent them both plumiting to the ground. Sage fell on a bit of bent flowers and Mordrick fell into a patch of clovers. He got up looking at himself. He now had clovers stuck to him and couldn't get it off. He stormed back to the group sitting down. "Great I'm a god dame leprecon!" He scolded. "I dont' see why I have to be nice to her." He said angerly.

Sage was a bit dizzy and sat on the flower rubbing her head lightly. "Ow..Oh thank you very much for catching me." She said softly to the flowers before slidding off. her wing was bent and nearly broken by now.

Celene listened with her head tilted, fascinated. "That's pretty cool," she finally said, having a bright smile. When Sage had to go she waved cheerfully. When Sage came back not too late afterwards however, she watched the events that unrolled and could not help but giggle.

Flitch, meanwhile, was laughing. "Oh wow, Mordrick you do! Haha, but where is our pot of gold eh? And no Irish accent? Aw man you gip us! Shame on you!"

Celene shook her head. "You shouldn't tease him... even if he DOES resemble one..." she replied, when she noted Sage seemed hurt and her eyes widened a slight. "Oh! Are you alright?" she asked, noting the girl's bent wing.

"Now THAT was a silly question," Flitch commented, shaking his head. "Should we get you back to your mother's for healing or can you handle it?" he asked, a brown brow raised.

"It wasn't silly!" Celene protested, to which Flitch just smiled a slight but didn't retort. There, after all, were more pressing matters at hand.

Sage looked kind of sad. "I'll be alright. Thanks for asking." She said soflty as she reached up and pushed her wing into place. "Its just sprained nothing to worry about. Easy fix once I soak it for a bit." She said with a happy nodd. The pain in her wing was a bit unbarable though. She sat down and heard Willow coming. He hopped out of the bushes and could see the bruise on her wing.

"Sage what happened?" He questioned. "And Mordrick why do you look like a friken lepracon?"

"Oh because I fell in a patch of clovers after being drinched by your sister."

Hinaata giggled when sage got Mordrick all wet but she was kind off worried after that landing "Sage you might really want to get that wing checked out it may be wors ethan it seems, look what you done Mordrick and you brought that lapricon look on yourself!"

"Mordrick!" Naroko siad laughing "you look like an oversize midget" she couldn't stop laughing now "a WET oversize midget!"

Sage smiled a little. "I'll be okay its just a sprain." She said softly with a soft smile. "I want to stay and my mother will ask to many questions."

Mordrick glared at Naroko. "Oh, I'm glade you find that so funny."

"hahahahaha okay im good now" Naroko said trying to control her laughter, which resorted in some sort of snorting. "I'm sorry Mordrick but you should see yourself it's just hilarious, are you okay though" she said a bit worried

"guys i gotta go I'll probably be back soon, I promised Nikora to help her with the shop" Hotaru said just befor she took off flying "bye guys" as she flew away on high speed

Mordrick shook his head some and waved to Hotaru. "Bye!" He waved her off and then looked at Sage. "Can you get these things off?" He asked slightly annoyed.

Sage waved good bye too and then smiled at Mordrick. Sighing she moved her hands and the clovers flew off forming a spiral in the air.

"Mordrick are you okay, it was sorta a rough landing" i was so much easier to talk now he didn't look so hilarious. Naroko caught a lover as it spiralled off of Mordrick. It had 4 leaves as she kissed it made a wish and let it fly off. She always believed a bit of luck wouldn't hurt

"Wow Sage I didn't know you could do that that's soo cool" Hinaata said enthusiastically "How do you do that it's like the plants really listen to you!"

Mordrick nodded. "I'm fine." He said with a grin.

Sage smiled a little and let the clovers lower to the ground and reroot themselves around them. "Oh I don't know just something I was able to do since I was really little." She said with a nod. "I guess they like to listen to me because I listen to them." She moved her wing and side with releaf as the pain started to go away.

(( :shock: I missed so much! Can someone fill me in???))

((I can. Alright so we started with a meeting talking, erm more like debating the idea of going after the bells. Well Mordrick(my butterfly character) was giving Sage a hard time because she's just a healer. Well Sage dropped some water on him and then left. When she came back she dropped a larger orb of water on him causing him to become drinched. Well after a fast tackle Mordrick was covered in clovers and poor Sage had a sprained wing. Hotaru left to help someone else with their shop. She and everyone played by HotaruHoshi where for finding the bells. Now everyone is being dazzled by Sage's ability to get plants to fallow her command. Which is something she just can't explain yet. Mordrick isn't sure if they should be leaving or not but he's willing to try and find the bells too. Everyone decided to go get more infromation that could help in the search for the Hope bells or what ever their called. :) Does that help? ))

Celene watched in fascination, eyes wide at the scene with the clovers. "That is REALLY neat," she commented, quite impressed. Flitch didn't say so, but he was as well.

"Well guys, I'm off to see what I can find out," the dragonfly fairy said with a shrug. "But first, when will we meet to discuss anything we might find out?" he asked.

"I'm going to find out things too!" Celene insisted. "I will you know!" Flitch sighed softly, again ruffling Celene's hair.

"I don't doubt you," he replied.

* * * * * *

Meanwhile, a slight bit outside of this village, Flitch's half brother was hunting for him. 'Where did that little heathen run off to now?' the water using dragonfly fairy thought to himself, as he hunted the woods. 'Father needs him... AGAIN. Damn favoritism...'

((great! Thanks!!!))

Luna woke up and stretched her arms. Her eyes were blinded by the morning sun (I don't know the time.. sorry…)). She sat up and stretched her wings. They fluttered open and began waving up and down, back and forth. She sighed and flipped her hair over her shoulder. The silvery strands glittered in the sunlight and their silky softness soothed her back and tickled her wings. She got up from her bed and changed out of her tank top and pajama pants and put on a long black shirt/a short dress (I’m not sure of the time period either so I don’t know what clothes my character should wear…) and put on a pair of white caprices on underneath. Then she walked out the room. She was surrounded by servants bowing. She bowed back politely. Then she walked into the kitchen and the cook pushed a plate of bread and butter (I also don’t know the time period so I don’t know what food is okay…) towards her (Luna). Luna began spreading the butter over the hot, freshly baked bread and picked up a piece. She began eating it. She savored the hot bread mixed with the butter. She closed her eyes and savored the taste. Suddenly a voice interrupted her thoughts and eating.


“You better hurry up. Don’t savor it. Eat it quickly. Your father wants you to go outside with some of the weavers/sowing women and to enjoy the fresh air.� Said the cook.


Luna looked up from her meal at the cook. She was a new cook. Just arrived last week. The other one had tried to poison her father so she was fired. So far she liked this one. She was a plump, little, fairly old woman with wispy gray hair she always carried in a bun. Her face was creased in wrinkles but signs of kindness also covered her face. She had a nice smile and a daughter. Her daughter was 27 and had 2 little children. Twins. Both with little light blue wings that were to weak to hole the children’s weight. “Okay.� Luna said nodding. She finished what was left of her breakfast and went outside to the fresh Spring (is it spring?) day ahead of her.[br[

"I know! I can send you all clovers when we need to meet up agian!" Sage offered with a grin. Then a yell came acrossed the wind. Her parents wanted her. "Ow...you don't need to yell." She grumbbled. "I got to go too. See you guys latter." She stood up and walked off. She didnt' want to fly if she didn't need to. Taking a detore home she stopped by a pond and watched a fish sticking her head in the water to look at it. She ended up falling all the way in but to captivated by the large fishes scaled she stayed under for a while. Getting into a rather long discussion with pond plants. She had to come for air about twice already but was quiet please with everything she was learning.

"bye again Sage" Hinaata said waving at her. she giggled " Celene your hair!" it was al messed up by Flitch

Naroko laughed at the sight of celene "sorry... celene.. not trying.. to be ..mean or sumthing" she said between her laughter
