Rukbat:

I warm up a little at the animals when she gives them a treat.

"Yeah, I-"

I pause wondering what I should say.

"I have been there."

*Shrugs*

Her friend introduces himself and I give him a small head nod in acknowledgment.

"I..."

I look down at my fake wound.

"Think I'm ok."

But still looked back at her eager to see what the treasure is.

Orion:

I listen to this hack job, women like this we're my specialty at jacking around.

It was just too easy.

The 'pet' I worried about though..

Vestal sure are becoming a infestation lately. I think of the one who tried to worm her way into Klaus's sister's soul.

Mer wasn't very grateful.. I doubt this little wallflower will be either.

Bloody hell..

I would just rip him apart but I don't know what I'm dealing with and Echo was right there.

Do we even want a wagon full of Vestal taint?

I think of another agonizing black out and icy awakening into mindless bloodshed for warmth.

...

We are getting that wagon!

Its small but at the rate things are going we don't have much children to worry about..

((Can you loosen the reigns of the beasts with your mind? Focus.))

I tell him as the women lowers her box of 'treasures' for him to see.

(Austra): "Arent these pretty?" She shows him a bracelet made of three horns that shimmered and hummed in the dim light.

I get ready to swoop in and take the wagon once the beasts are loosen.

Rukbat:

Dad asks me to loosen the reigns of the beasts with my mind.

.............

I wish I had more time to practice this sort of stuff.

I thought frustrated to myself before having a go at it as instructed.

It was hard, and I felt kind of silly for trying when I was so out of practice.

This sucks.

I fold my arms in a mood before glancing at the lady's box of treasures.

Jewellery, pretty jewellery.

Why am I not surprised.

*Nods head in response to her.*

Leviathan:

I wonder if caves would just echo the sounds but it was worth a shot. Besides caves are good in general... Usually.

I get up holding the squid kids and look to the other I came here with. The chanting one.

....

Maybe she's really synching with these aliens and their crystals. I try to think positively, even if I wasn't entirely sure what that would mean in this context. There was strange stuff going on...

....

I don't know... I needed confirmation.

"Hey, you good, Violet?" I ask, but there was so much sound everywhere. It was drowning out my words.

(("Hey?... Hey? You good?")) I think my words instead and try to focus on her but I don't know if it worked or could be heard either with everything.

I consider touching her to try to get her attention but given I'm currently holding he other two I don't want to risk bringing them too close incase she snaps or something.

Crystal nods at Fritz and sighs at her own perceived failure and winces, closing her eyes briefly with a sharp intake of breath at the feel of her wound, but continues on.

I lean back try to focus on putting all my weight on one leg and hook the back of my other foot around the back of Violet's leg and brush up her while looking at her concerned.

Orion:

Rukkbat wasnt ready to show off his telekinesis. Sighs.

What did they even teach him in Danementary.....

((Thats ok, distract her with something good and I'll untie them quick.)) I tell him as Austra put the strange crystal horns in his hand. It presented a opportunity to DISTRACT the peacekin with birds in her brain already...

(Austra): "What do you see? It shows pictures sometimes, I think shes alive.."

She tells him and rubs the resonating crystals.

Subject: Re: [2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart Sun Aug 25, 2024 9:49 pm

Rukbat:

"Who is she?"

I ask the lady.

Dad told me to make it good.

I don't know what that means.

..........

*Hugs her.*

"Thank you!"

I pretend to tear up.

"No one has ever given me a gift like this before."

Subject: Re: [2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart Wed Aug 28, 2024 10:46 pm

Orion:

I watch a little worried but Rukkbat doesn't seem deeply disturbed by whatever the crystals projected.

(Asustra): "No one knows, its a mystery. I like to think a good presence."

I ready myself as he distracts her with a hug.

The Vestal swine hisses but she shhs him.

I flash in untie the two big beasts and then the force of me yanking Rukkbat by the collar into the wagon with me = pushes her down. She tumbles and the vestal grabs for her before she falls.

The wagon races backwards with us inside. The big beasts bellow loudly at the disturbance but it was all to fast for them.

*vestal demon screams in our heads.*

I claw at my ear with a hiss and keep the wagon moving.

"Well it could have gone smoother but..we did it Echo. A ship.. of ..somesort.."

It wasnt my baby... ~~(the pink car)~~ thats for sure...

Rukbat:

*Makes happy bat squeak.*

We got a ride!!!!

The screams were awful but anything was better than SPACE.

*Shivers.*

"Thanks dad."

I hug him as mom lands down behind us all covered in blood.

Fritz:

The light from the cave blinds me and I let out a weak roarish sound feeling it touch me, a cool burning sensation. Blue hair raises up on my skin a I try to shake off the snarl.

- Vestal moon ritualcave tunnels -

Not again I think, my fear cutting off the transformation as I dart my head and eyes around for signs of Ceth's redhoods. The whistle.

I see...those like Crystal but.. different. Like the...girl...

Stripes... purples and blues.

We seem to be interrupting something here.

The ones with wings were high in the crystalline rocks above us sheirking.

[2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart - Page 2 2e06aa83bd29856ce0c3a8419989fbddde1c5baa

-Doren's line of Vestal - Trydien - albino hybrid crossbreedss hiding out on the moon-

(Vestal/Trydien Hybrid Pack): "You've brought this on us! Outsiders! Ynn demons!" "Look theres more of THEM" YNN MAGIC!" "The goddess will eat his power and become stronger once and for all!"

"They all cant be our kids..."

I say overwhelmed. They join the chanting only a few moments of shouting do I understand.

(Vestal/Trydien Alpha): "YNN'S TAINTED ONE IS HERE!?."

The young scrappy blue one who looked about the girl's age, tries to get in my face then whimpers backwards and stumbles off outside where the blue demons dragged Des. More join growling and hissing calling for his sacrifice in the crowds.

I glance outside - back where we came. The rune marks on this cave wall were floating above in the air, circling a real moon in the sky.

[2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart - Page 2 Fe2695b3a12bf2814cbd7ce2b5a43d926b2e4fc2

- more crazy vestal rituals happening outside before the 2nd moon -

Blood hell...

The urge to run back out to help Desmond really goes cold. I had no ideas.

I finely notice the other tigers here in the cave... more... proper tigers.. but now they were getting dragged away by the others blueish purple ones. They called them Ynn demons.

Ynn... sounded sorta like.. Flynn didn't it? Is that what they were trying to say.

That horrible noise they were making.

Des is going to DIE!

What can we do???

My head hurt I push my arm /hands off my head and see all the fresh blood from horns.

nooo....

An orange tiger man in a suit talks to us. I wasnt sure to trust him because he wasnt blue or not.

[2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart - Page 2 E99cab7c82e5032c6c34501b720ee1ca273026a2

-Devlin is all grown up, leading the Trydien Remnant that escaped the zoo, he came here to find others like him but the Vestal/Trydiens from Doren's line were too vestal crazy to join him and they just have been fighting it out...till the interruption.

(Devlin): "Unhand a pure trydien women you blue devil!"

He pounces at me trying to 'save' Crystal who I was still keeping very near. I'm grabbed by the horns but before he can rip them out.

*snaps and bashes him backwards on the glowing rocks feeling the Vestal RAGE*

[2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart - Page 2 6f35c763292a72eacbb3afdb4597c6a4beedef29

- half transformed Fritz, too traumatized by his captured by Ceth to fully transform now -

*starts making those crazy echoing vocalizations hurting everyone who came into the cave to hide's ears HURT*

The maned tiger's impact is softed by static shocks coming off all around him. He readies his paws to send out more lighting but hesitates.

(Devlin): "Listen I know a power greater then their goddess and 'Ynn'. What they both fear I found! If you want to survive follow ME."

He shouts out shooting some lighting for ..dramatic effect.

(Teagan): "Err.. I'm going with that guy..." *he leads a RETREAT before any more of his men are dragged off to the ritualizing rocks.

Abhiram TRIES using all his bullets at the demons but they magic shielded them all so he retreats too.

The cave they were headed down was...lit..red.. and had a freezing cold but wet that brought chills down my spin.

It wasnt the cool rest of the moonlight but the.. freezing chill of a sea storm....

- something awaits to awaken deep within the vestal caves, foreign RED not blue light resonates from this ritual area Devlin had set in motion...what or WHO could it be? -

Admin Status : Writer

Violet:

I break out of the trance, feeling fear of the magic god and evil trickery, distrust, confusion. Hated for.. orange tigers?

Where was this coming from!? Not me.

[2259] Total Eclipse of the Heart - Page 2 43741f7294be53bf332be6655a46db3a7a55b075

I open my eyes trying to fight the pull of rejoining whatever psychic weirdness I just felt.

((Ethan?)) I speak in my head to tune them out. The Chosen one. Was found and they would feed the goddess his power.

I shake my head.

No no it looked scary...almost like a elite ritual and all the light and what was going to happen to the crew?

The cave felt unsafe.

I was torn, came here thinking they would help us but ...its been worst and worst.

I hug myself and try to focus on the others. Maud... Gideon... Ethan..

It was times like this I ALMOST would prefer being a squid Wink

((What hap-...))

I stop myself from asking.

I dont want to know. I saw enough already from the others.

((What do we do?!) Ethan!?)

*wings fluttering nervously - sensing and hearing.*

Oh no..

Maud lets out a scream trying to out scream the new super loud Vestal - Fritz.

((Maud please!!))

I let go of my ears when she stops.

Maud gets upset. I try to ..make her feel better.

"Maud Maud I..I ..found my family.. they are here! See its a good thing.. we...came.."

I wince. My family seemed ...scary.

Ettimay:

I stay near Beolan when the others exit the ship. I panic sensing Desmond needs help.

How could I let him be taken.

I whine cowering near by Beolan still standing like a statute with his hood on his head.

I fight the urge to pull it off. It must be on for a reason. No one said I could...

((Meri MERI MERI! MERIDIETH)) I try to call her - because she can fix it. Fix it ALL like last time.. but clearly she wasn't here.

"Nononono Desss.."

I sink down near Beolan's boots in a deep whimper from within.

The light.. the moon light resonating off everything was so ..tingling and resonating....something in the ..atemspheere pulsing everything.

*twitch twitch trancing out from so much magic... and moon... and moon magic.*

I hear crunching and it hurtssss so much I couldn't tell if I was stabbed from behind or just tossed ageist a wall full force.

Another crunch. Cant breath. Wet feeling..blood.

I put all my weight on my arm gripping the ground, my hand looked vainy and paler fingers stretched out by a force but then snap back the right size - breaking them all. My face bashes down from the only thing holding me a bit upright giving in.

~~**Ettie fails to shift due to the seals blocking her dark magic, it causes some damage/ internal bleeding in the attempt, especially the wings not being able to come out**~~

I yelp//growl out at the sensations tugging me one way and the pain of the pressure. The need, the power, so close to the surface.

I could taste a moment of freedom - what it feels like to not be so scared, so useless, for but a moment, see in my minds eye it, out but instead it was if the power for shut down, blackness and not peaceful blackness, its black water, drowning in dark dark cold water. Lighting crashes through it. Light, in darkness.

....

I gag reaching the top only to be pulled down by something ..tentacle like wrapping around me.

I scream in the water - silently just making bubbles, descending down down down catch by a new monster.

(Tormenta): ((How nice of you to finely visit. Now you can WAKE ME UP.

*voice echoing ((WAKE ME UP))

As the constricting force touches my skin I could tell it wasnt a tentacled beast but something more reptilian...

I try to squeeze out of it but it just gets tighter.

((WAKE ME UP)) the demoness screams into my face with many pointed teeth suddenly right there. right there face to face.

((IM WAITING))

-While Ettie is unconscious from the pain, outside her body, her mind gets to have 'a heart to heart' with Tormenta, the storm -
