Hotaru987 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Syne held up his hands in an "I-surrender" position. "Hey, let me explain. You see we have the same mother, but different fathers. When I was born my parents were in the middle of a divorse. It was agreed that I would go with my father, because our mother didn't want me. After my father died, I was sent to an orphanage which just happened to be in the same village my mom lived. When I saw her, she had a miniture Raven walking behind her. I never got a chance to meet them because....Well...That was the day my powers came to me and I set the whole town on fire.....But when I was told she was still alive by Takiino, I had started my search." He grinned at Raven, "And here I am." Raven shook her head, trying to wrap her mind around this. "Even if he was telling the truth...I wouldn't know....I don't remember a fir-" "The boy tells the truth." Yami hissed. Raven kneeled down so that he could slither up her arm and take his place around her neck. "At least the part about the fire. That was the day Raven-sama came into her powers. That was her first shadow travel. She shouldn't have had the ability to do that, and she was out for days. When she awoke she only knew her name and nothing else."

Auralady Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Ashika relaxed and walked over to Syne. No wonder she didn't trust him at first...fire and water were big opposites. She extended her hand in apology and greeting, "I'm Ashika and this is my gaurdian Nakala." She indicated Nakala who padded up beside her. "Sorry about that but like I said: better safe then sorry." Then she let go and stepped back a little. She still grinned though teasingly, "Good thing the village had good firefighters." She looked at Nakala and petted her head. Nakala relaxed too at Ashika's touch. Nakala looked at Takiino and inclined her head as Ashika petted her. "Greetings Gaurdian of Fire. I am Nakala, Gaurdian of Water and Ice."

Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Takiino opened on eye and looked at Nakala. "Hello Nakala, Guardian of Water and Ice. I am Takiino, and you already know my element." Syne smiled at Ashika quickly shaking her hand. "You already know who I am, and no harm done. It's good to be cautious, that keeps us from doing stupid things, yes?" He grinned, before draping an arm over Raven's shoulder, somehow missing Yami. "So how about we go inside and we can talk over some breakfast. My treat!" Raven had a comical look on her face as she was being lead to the Inn. What on earth is going on here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auralady Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ashika looked at the others and shrugged before fallowing Syne and Raven. Nakala padding along at her side. So water/ice, fire, darkness, earth and air are all together now. All we are missing is light and we have all the Suyin eleinbuki together., Ashika thought. Then her mind drifted as she walked. It drifted to a red book in her room, a tanned page, the black lettering handwritten in ink. In her mind she saw the paragraph again and read it over and over. She paidvery close attention looking for any clues hidden in the reading. "Hmmmmm..", Ashika said quietly, "I wonder....." Nakala studiously ignored Ashika as if she didn't understand what the girl had said. She barked at some stray dogs in warning as they approached the group and they backed off. Nakala nodded her head and snorted at their cowerdice, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond looked at the others, who had appeared seemingly out of nowhere. He dismissed it however, and listened as Syne explained things to Raven. I think it's unbelievably fishy that Raven has an older brother that she didn't even know about. Even if they have the same last name, which they may not, he could still be lying...plotting something. Shaking his head, he took a step forward. "If you couldn't already have guessed it by my guardian, named Sutro by the way, I'm the Guardian of Air. And you are obviously of fire..."

Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Syne smirked at Raymond, "You guess correctly Brid-Brain, I am the Suyin Eletinbuki of fire." For a demonstraition he snapped his fingers and a small flame appeared on the tip of his thumb. Raven saw the fire and froze, as an image of a small girl crying over a severly burt body came to mind. There was fire everwhere, and it was like even then she could feel the heat from the flames. Syne notced that she froze, and was giving off a cold sweat. He quickly put the fire out and smiled apologetically. "Raven, you alright?" "Yes....I am fine, Syne." She mumbled trying to recall the thought, but couldn't. "I don't even know what I was thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond was about to shout some retort when he saw Raven's reaction to the flames. He was about to rush over to her, but glanced at Syne and thought better about it. Instead, he tightly clenched his fists to fight the urge to attack the...impudent brat, as he thought of Syne. "Listen, you. I thought we were done with all the name-calling and all that. But, please. Feel free to continue. You will only be giving me an excuse for attacking you if you keep egging me o-" Sutro, from his shoulder, whacked him on the head to shut him up. Grumbling, he did, but still glared at Syne.

Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 "Ha! Like you could ever beet me. Last time I checked wind makes flames stronger, and helps them to spread." Syne said to Raymon. Takiino only sighed and found a more comfortable position on Syne's head. "Besides, Bird-brain, I do-" "Um...Brother?.." Raven said the word forgne to her. One could tell she was still trying to come to terms with the fact she has a brother. Syne smiled widely completely forgettin about Raymond. "What is it?" Raven blushed and looked down. "I-i was just seeing how it sounded...That's all. Oh, Raymond, I was wondering if we could do that again sometime." She smiled, "Going up into the sky I mean."

Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond smiled back at her, completely ignoring the insult that Syne had thrown at him. Looking into her eyes, he could tell completely that she was telling the truth, and the sound of her voice confirmed it. "I'm...I'm glad you enjoyed it. And...um...I'd also love to visit the sky with you again, and...maybe even go into the shadows with you, just to see what it's like." He edged closer to Raven, hoping what he said next would not be heard by the girl's brother. "And...um...I don't know how exactly to say this, but...Going into the sky with you was much more...exhilarating than when I was alone." He said this quietly, with his head turned so Syne couldn't see his lips. Then, he cleared his throat and looked back at Syne. "Don't think that the only thing wind can do is feed fire, hothead," he said, with a gloating look on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raven blushed after hearing what Raymond said. "O-oh....Then maybe we should do that more often? And I'd be happy to take you with me. Into the shadows I mean. It's not that bad of a place you know." She smiled still blushing. Syne, who was tense through Raven's and Raymond's interaction, was about to protest until the word 'Hothead' reached his ears. "Hothead?...HOTHEAD!? I am not a hothead!" Syne yelled his body steaming. Right before he was about to burst into flames and long scalely tail smacked him inthe face. "OOWWW!! What the hell?" Syne growled rubbing his face. Takiino yawned calling back his tail. "You need to calm down. Besides it's not smart to go combusting every where. We don't want a repeat now do we?" Syne instantly calmed down, "Right, sorry....But I am not a Hothead, you bird-brained idiot." He muttered. "And I'm keeping a close eye on you, with my sister!"

Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond glared back at Syne. That guy's lucky he's got that lizard guardian to keep an eye on him. Sutro tapped him with a wing. "And you think I'm any different?" she asked him quietly. Raymond minutely shook his head. "Sutro," he muttered, "I'm not even going to ask how you knew what I was thinking." Sutro churred softly, what Raymond had learned was her way of laughing. He turned his attention first to Raven. "I'm all for going into the sky more often with you...and you really make me want to visit the shadows." Then, he turned back to Syne. "You tell me you're not a hothead, get ready to explode, and then call me a bird-brained idiot? You sure are a character, aren't you, Syne? And...AND...especially after I tried to start over with you and make peace. Oh, and uhh...when's the last time you were in a hurricane, Syne?" Raymond had been about ready to call the boy Lizard-breath, but had thought better of it. "Another rare thing you've done right," Sutro muttered into his ear.

Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Syne crossed his arms childishly after listening to Raymond. "Yeah, yeah whatever...And I've never been in a hurricane, and I don't want to be in one anytim soon Bird-brain." He said although there wasno hostility in his voice. "Now what's this I hear about the sky, and shadows?" Raven jumped right on it and began to explain how Raymond took her in the sky and they looked at the stars. "I've never been so close before! It was amazing, and so much fun!" After the long detur of yelling between Raymond and Syne they finally went back into the inn, where Syne told eveyone to order anything they liked.

Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond, still suspicious of Syne, decided that he would order last, after everyone else. In the meantime, he chose a seat that would put him right next to Raven, where he could hopefully engage in conversation with her, learn more about her, and tell her more about himself. While he was waiting, he let his eyes scan over the group of people. What an odd bunch we must be, he thought, what with all the different appearances, the animals, and the elemental powers. I hope we don't attract any attention. He sighed, then turned to Raven. "Tell me...tell me more about the shadows," he asked hesitantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Syne frowned at Raymond but decided to stay quiet. In all truth he too was curious about his little sisters powers so he listened closely. Raven smiled at Raymond completely delighted that he had taken an intrest in her powers. "Like I've been telling you all, it's a wonderful place...But I am afraid that what Chikyuu said is also true." Raven turned serious, "The realm of shadows is a long never ending space. There are things learking in there that even I haven't been near. A darkness like no other you have seen....But that's only if you're fooish enough to take it the shadows so lightly." She quickly looked at Raymond a pleading look in her eyes, "I hope what I said didn't deture your curiosity. I mean If you come in there with me I won't let anything happen!"

Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond almost laughed, but didn't so he wouldn't hurt her feelings. He also saw the frown that Syne gave him when he had asked about the shadows, but ignored that too. He smiled at Raven instead, keeping his full attention on her. "Of course you haven't deterred me or my curiosity. And I know that if...when I go into the shadows with you that you won't let anything touch me. Don't worry about it; the skies are the same. They're a fantastic place, but they, like anywhere, have their dangers. Now, tell me more about you...and the shadows, of course." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 "More about me?" Raven mimiced putting her index finger to her lips. "Well...I like sleeping in the trees, stargazing, and...Oh! I love to play my instruments. I play them every night, with the exception of last night." "What instruments do you play?" Syne said making his way into the conversation, casting a glare at Raymond. Raven smiled at Syne more than happy to comply. "I'm actually naturally gifted with instrumets, but my favorite are the flute, violen, and guitar. What about you, Syne-" "Brother." Syne corrected. "R-right...What do you like to do, um, brother?" Syne shrugged, "I don't have anything specific. I just do whatever seems to be fun at the time, although I do find myself swimming a lot. It's calms me down when I'm all worked up." Raven giggled and casted a look to Ashika. "Well hopefully Ashika will be able to keep you in check later on."Syne laughed as well, "Yeah, maybe." "What about you Raymond? What don't I know about you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond cast a glare back at Syne for interrupting his and Raven's conversation, before turning his attention back to Raven. "Well, if you want the honest-to-whatever deities are out there-truth, alright. I like to think of myself as a psychotic, and I've been known to make rash decisions, as your...brother," he strained not to add an insult in, "has probably discovered by now. I also have a natural knack for instruments, and can play practically anything, though my favorite instrument is probably the guitar, flute, or violin and viola. I prefer sleeping in trees, and I absolutely love stargazing. They help me to feel closer to the sky. I probably would play what instruments I have more, but I'm not the most consistent character. So...Raven...Um...When would you like to visit the skies again? And...when do you think you'll get a chance to take me to the shadows?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 "We can go when ever you'd like. To the shadows I mean, but it's better to go at night. And I don't care when we go into the skies again. I just like flying up there...and....um....Being with you makes it even better." Raven smiled shyly at Raymond, while Syne scoffed. Raven notice and smiled, "You can come too. That is ok, right Raymond? I mean it's your powers after all." Syne shook his head, "O-oh, no it's alright. I'm going to go see what's taking the waiter so long." He got up, but not before mouthing 'I'm watching you', to Raymond and grinning widely at the others. "He's so nice. I'm glad I have a brother. Maybe this will help me get my memories back." Raven said watching Syne walk off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auralady Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Ashika grinned as the drinks came. She picked up the glass of ice water which slightly swirled around. "Yes well, from your story Syne I would say it won't be as easy as I think." She took a sip and let the refreshing water sooth her. Her eyes sparked with mischif, "Personally I can't wait. Anyway, if swinning cools you down Syne then you should try sitting under a waterfall. Not as fun as swinning in a lake or river of course but it's fairly peacefull." She took another sip of water and played with the water and ice cubes left in the glass by freezing and un-freezing it. Nakala lapped up some water that the waitress brought for her in a bowl. She was quiet again and acted like a normal, but very large, dog. She hated not being able to talk to Ashika or the other Suyin and gaurdains but is was best to act normal in public.

ArtemisFowl Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Jecht almost fully believed Syne but Chikyuu had his suspisions about, the Suyin Eletinbuki of fire. Jecht didn't speak at all recently, having too make fun watching Syne and Raymond fight. "Of course I'm right." Chikyuu muttered smugly as Raven spoke about the shadows but Jecht glared at him, a glare that said, not to talk in public places. "But I am.""You're just a big 'fraidy-cat." Jecht whispered smiling at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan919 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Raymond smiled sweetly at Syne as he walked away. He didn't fail to notice the mouthed warning that Syne gave him. And I'll be watching you, he said back silently. Then, turning his attention back to Raven, and gave her another smile. "Of course he can come with us, if he ever wants to. And...about the shadows...you're the expert on them, so I'd be happy to wait till the best time to go there. I'll take you back to the skies, if you want, as soon as all this story business and all the stress and trouble is through. I don't want to bother, or irritate, the others, of course." Sutro, since she was a Golden Eagle in her normal form, couldn't come into the inn, but Raymond could feel their connection as the bird of prey flew happily through a nearby forest, hunting and feeling the wind in her feathers.

Hotaru987 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 "Yes, of course. I wouldn't want to do anything that would cause stress on anyone. I just hope that who ever that shadow guy was dosn't come back for a while." Raven smiled, as Syne replied to Ashika. "The waterfall? I have never tried that before but I think I will." He smiled at her, still keeping an eye on Raven. "So guys," He continued, "Tell me about this shadow figure I had heard Raven talk about. I assume thats why I had felt the strong surge of powers here. I'm curious because it seems we havehad similar experiences." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auralady Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Ashika smiled back at Syne before answering. “Like I said before, I don’t think we are dealing with a guy any more. I mean think about. He sent a stream of fire from his mouth.” She raised an eyebrow at Syne, “Now I am no expert on a fire user’s full abilities or potential, which means a fire user isn’t entirely out. Still, he was able to disappear in a puff of black smoke every time we encountered him, this makes him sound more along the lines of a darkness user. “ Ashika looked back at the others before going on. “I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never heard of a single Eleinbuki that can control two elements. Not even the children who have parents of two different elements.”, Ashika finished. She was worried indeed. So far each of the Suyins had encountered this figure and had the same result. Then he attacked us at the same time and we are still missing light., Ashika reminded herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru987 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 "I see, that is a pridicament." Syne said becoming quite serious compared to earlier. "It just so happens that I had my fair share of encounters with this man. I don't know if there are more than one of these attackers, but I have been attacked multiple times. However, before things could get serious he would leave. It's apparent he was only toying with me, but the encounters have been becoming quite vexing." "What do you think they want with us?" Raven questioned, "We need to find the Light Guardian, and fast. If there are more than one, than that guardian would be the easiest one to take out because he, or she, is alone."

ArtemisFowl Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 "Same thing for us. Its only happened to us once before though. Some guy dressed in black attacked us. Its was real strange." Jecht explained. "Then, POOF, he was gone just as quickly as he showed up." Then Raven talked about finding the Guardian of Light. "Yeah. If find him, or her, then we'll probably find this attacker, or attackers. Our Guardians should be able to zone in on their energies. Especially Raymond's bird. I think it would be much easier for our Guardians to go alone than with us, since they are most likely to travel faster." He said and Chikyuu nodded in response.
