(( if I don't be dramatic, I don't keep with the flow of the story, and it gets all messed up. but the drama should be over soon [oh gods I hope so]))

Ti stepped into the dark room, looking over Arina as Janu spoke, pain washing over him again. "I... don't know. But we both have some talking and coming to our senses to do. I have seen lust break people as it pretends to be love. It isn't pretty... and Janu, I need you to look in to yourself and ask if this is really love you have for me." He looked down to her pale eyes with a softness in his "I don't want you hurt because of me, or anyone else."

"Great! I promise I'll do my best," he said over joyed at being able to be allowed in the kitchen. He was sure he would make something really tasty.

"Oh are we going to fly?" he asked getting on Lukas' back with enthusiasm. "Wait, don't you need to take your shirt off?" he said with concern.

((Oni doesn't remember you running last night- he was too messed up and shoved inside))

Sylvia nodded "Big events, the last day of flowers. Can't you tell, they set out their last full blooms for the year, in their most vibrant colors. Is also nice and sunny and warm." She smiled flitting about then dropped some jujub's in Rain's hand. She was not the best sharer, but since these technically wren't hers to begin with she couldn't see why sharing would hurt her. She knew where to get more..

Arina heard voices, they were blurry...but they were voiced. There were people around her, people talking. they...didn't sound happy... she didn't want to come back to this world though... Why was it wearing off...why was she regaining awareness of the world, she still couldn't breath or move but she could hear now...

[I know]Lukas laughed. "Not today we aren't. But I think you'll enjoy this too." He made sure that he was secure on his back ignoring the soreness and the bruises. "This will just make it not take all day to get back..." He said before he started running through the trees, he was slowly gaining speed so that Oni could get a secure grasp before he really laid on it.

It is beautiful” she agreed, glancing at the flowers. “though life always seems much the same. People don’t change…..” She stated, with a dark smile. She then turned towards the flowers, picking one and twirling it around. She was thinking of course, debating. So much energy in this flower…so much magic all around her. Could it be safe?

The kitten continued to jump, seeming to be radiating joy as it hoped towards the wolf. It suddenly leaped onto Tal’s back, purring as it jumped on his head trying to reach the higher dust butterflies. It stood on its’ back legs, paws waving.




Yes…. You understand things others can’t, having monsters inside and fearing them… you know what it’s like to have shadow around you always, you make me feel……. Normal, hopeful…. And there‘s so much more” Janu sighed suddenly then though, looking up into his face closely. “You’re not so sure you feel the same are you….?” she said softly, knowing love was what she felt but also knowing that this did not mean he felt the same…and if he didn’t…. she would just have to find a way to survive and overcome…. Unrequited love had an ability to fade….even though it felt like it would never. She felt crushed…but unsurprised. Who could love her when they could have Arina?

((yus she really loves him xD but yes in time it will fade and she’ll be able to love again if he picks Arina Xd. Unrequited love hurts like hell but it fades ... *speaks from experience xD* ))

((duh, okay, I'm sorry, i mean hello you remembered the whole time that he had introduced himself as Xanic))


Oni held on tight as Lukas ran through the woods. It was neat seeing everything just zip by like different smudges of color. The wind even if it was a bit sharp was always nice as it flipped his hair around wildly. Oni wished he was like Lukas with so many cool things he could do. Lukas' skills were so useful and fun.

Lukas made it to the building, rather quickly. He went around it and in through the kitchen door and knelt down to let oni off of his back. "So, what is it we shall make today?" He asked smiling.

Sylvia nodded. "well, I suppose you're right, but all people have their good things and their flaws. It's life. It's just one of those things that comes with having a concept of reality, having a mind that thinks, more than make food make food eat food eat food, reproduce reproduce. Though that's alw there in people, they.. tend to complicate it cause there's emotions, and all that other fun stuff."

Arina was trying to shut her mind off as the words were becoming clearer. Of all people she was going to wake up to, why did it have to be them... She couldn't stand this, she had to sit there, and listen to them... She couldn't go out of the room, or back to the blackness....

Talianda laughed, the dust butterflies exploding, or maybe imploding, harmlessly. "Silly, feline, you can't do that, I have a sensitive back," he saidtiltimg his head bak a bit, but not enough to let the kitten fall. "Now I have to re-create them," he hummed, the dust being picked back up and forming little birds this time. The birds flew in circles around his head and the kitten, taunting it.


(Kage had me do a pic of Ti, cause he likes my pixel art better than his... http://www.menewsha.com/forum/member...cture26910.png ))

[[i wish i could draw hands -cry- nice pic though]]

True” She agreed, deciding to do a simple test since she was where at least two could see her…….and outside where she could easily escape if need be. She placed the flower in the fairy’s hair suddenly but gently, raising her other hand. She made a few quick motions and called the spell within her mind while giving Sylvia a mischievous grin.

She then stood, stepping back as the flower suddenly began to form itself into a flower crown, more of the flowers shooting off and growing from the crown. It was harmless, even beautiful… but it had gained her bad reactions before…

The kitten on his head seemed to pout as the dust fell, lowering onto his head and putting down its delicate black ears. As the birds appeared it hopped up, purring once more as it swatted at the birds. It seemed to be saying, come here! But stayed silent, its tail curling around Tal’s ear.



((very nice Dra ^.^)

Sylvia was confused when the flower had been placed on her head but could smell magic as Rain started with the motions of her head. At first she was afraid thinking she was going to be trapped in some way but as the flowers grew into a crown her eyes lit up. "Sooo pretty!" She giggled "I'm a fairy princess, fairy princess fairy princess!" she sang twirling around.

The birds wavered as Tal felt magic, and the kitten's tail almost in his ear. "Try the horn, feline, it won't destract me that way," he hummed, focusing on the birds again. Whoever was using the magic, wasn't hurting anyone, so he paid no attention to it.


((It's going up on dA, too.))

[[o3o i'm half tempted to ask you to draw arina xD i'm all "daw I wants purdy dra artsu]]

(( believe me, I know that feeling too. But I'm trying to get her and Talianda together XD He loves/lusts Janu))

Ti averted his gaze as she trailed off, her voice overrun with pain. "I don't want to lie so I won't. I'm not sure I can love either of you, but that has to do with me and my past. I wanted to help you, be there for you as you fought your inner demons much like I do, but I shouldn't have let myself.... " He sighed, feeling like he was making everything worse with every word. " Love or lust, I can't let it be pity that fools you into loving me." He finished, his thoughts turning sour as he thought of the past. He glanced over to Arina again, his gaze setting on her eyes, locked in a broken glance. He then closed his eyes, waiting to be screamed at, hit, sobbed on.... anything.

(( The hair is too short, and the lack of shineys on the pants give me a sad, but I love it. *envy* ))

((Why does everyone like my art so much?!))

"Well, it's looking like our stone princess is awakening, I can smell the magics weakening... I wonder what her reaction to the funny smelling man, and the scardy kitty being there will be. I wonder if he'd try the fairy tale approach haha, who knows." She rambled. She knew thinking out loud could get her into trouble, but she at this point didn't care, things were already moving and it would make no difference for them to know now.

Arina, tried to surpress her consiousness, she didn't want to see them, she didn't want to hear them, she didn't want to feel them. Why must they bother her. He didn't love her... She heard it... straight shot through her heart...

[[cause it's pretty! duh]]

Something the fae said, but Talianda didn't quite conciously hear, nagged part of his brain. He ignored it, thinking it was just his worries about how Ti was dealing with things. The birds were higher up on his priorities, to keep himself from worrying. They continued to flitter around, but their edges were a little fuzzy now.


((But it kinda sucks.))

Um hmm” she replied to the fairy, glancing at the two as she put her hands in her pockets. She watched, waiting as if expecting to see someone attack her. She found nothing, however, and simply looked back to the dancing fairy princess before her. Rain couldn’t help but smile, feeling a pleasant warmth fill her. Sylvia…Sylvia had just treated her magic as something good! She’d only seen it feared.

The kitten pouted but showed once more why it wasn’t normal as it listened to the wolf and wrapped its tail around his horn. It then leaned up on the horn, patting harder, seeming to almost smile. It was funny…sometimes Ebony could act almost…human.



((Xd Honestly only time will tell with that xD no matter what you do :P. I don’t let myself plan that kinda thing out, I make in character decisions based on in character things, period :P. It kinda depends on him more then anything Xd ))

I never pitied you Ti…not till right now…” The feline stated softly nearly thinking aloud as her numbness took away a bit of her shyness, her own tears starting to fall as she gripped Arina’s waist a moment. She looked to her, leaning her cheek on the other’s belly as she watched her stone covered face. She stroked Arina’s cheek, unaware the other was coming back to consciousness and just wanting her back so badly. Janu then said softly, “I… love you because you’re you, no other reason. But I don’t think you’ll ever see that…..anymore then Arina will ever know…..” she paused starting to cry harder but not moving towards Ti now. “that I’d rip out my foolish heart right now if it’d bring her back.”

((and your art is beautiful, don't be silly))

[[it is pretty and beautifulz and all those other good descriptive words and such lol]]
Arina, unable to move, just gave up and listened, she was conscious enough for that.... Ahe could feel Janu around her. She didn't quite like it but there was nothing she could do. Inwardly she sighed, even if she couldn't yet do it physically, the unwillingness to return to life was slowing the spell, but she knew it wouldn' t last...

Sylvia spinned around more dinging to herself but stopped from getting slightly dizzy. "If only moma could see me now. She'd be all 'you were right Sylvia, you're royalty.' and I would just smile and flit around my kingdom." She laughed, "If only there were a kingdom left to rule."

((It sucks major donkey balls...))

Talianda smiled as the kitten moved a bit, then he tilted his head so his horns were pointing up more. The dust birds all spiraled up abive them, colliding and becoming one, larger bird with a long flowing tail. The large bird swooped, pulling up jst above the kittens reach. It looked like a pheonix, but the proportions were wrong, and the flowing part of the tail was in two strands.

((The dust bird looks like a quetzal, by the way...))

[[[btw, thanks for reminding me, i need to update my DA]]

Oni thought about and said, "Waffles!" Oni had them once and instantly loved them. "Yes I want Lukas to teach me to make waffles, lots and lots of waffles," he said with a big smile.

((sorry I completely missed ur post some how))

Rain smiled, reaching out to touch the crown she’d made. “I wouldn’t know what that’s like, I’ve always been a bit of a sewer rat.” She said only half joking. She then smirked, he couldn’t help but find the fairy a little contagious in her joyful energy but she gave her self no thoughts of anything but enjoying the moment. Having no past, and likely little future, made one very aware of the moment…..

The cat on Tal’s head mean while, continued to play with the butterflies contently. It seemed to purr louder then normal, swatting at each bird and climbing up his horn a little. It mewed, so content it could not speak as it enjoyed the wolf’s soft fur and The dusty beauties dancing before it.





((hmmm I’m thinking of making ebony is going to fall for Tal XD. She does have a partially human form XD, but even Rain hasn’t’ seen it yet and thinks she just has kitten. Ebony’s pretty much like a guardian angel type…thing but I haven’t decided how big a role she’ll play xD))

((The kitten falls for him because he played with her? And if she's telepathic, most dragons are, too, so she could speak to him that way))

Talianda smiled, his tail slowly wagging back and forth. The dust bird swooped and spiraled, continuing to taunt the kitten, though Tal could feel something off about her.
