Sam_Seymour juts out her chin as she heads towards the undergrowth of the forest....ducking and dipping pushing the plant life out of her way as she progresses deeper into the forest
Sam_Seymour comes to a stop a hand rising to wipe sweat beads from her brow......another sweep of those eyes as she takes in her surroundings...a glance over her shoulders to make sure now one was following...before dropping to the ground with a sigh
Sam_Seymour slips arms out of the straps of the back pack swinging it onto her lap to rest upon cross legs....nimble fingers unbuckling the bag pulling it open before her hand carefully delves inside...fingers searching for what she wanted
Flash_Guardian shuffles his way along one of the paths that lead throughout the woods of the island, yawning from boredom. Today's beach patrol didn't seem to turn up much, to his surprise and dismay. So now he heads for home. And just up ahead, he thinks he hears some movement in the underbrush nearby. He peers curiously in Sam's direction, attempting to spot her through the leaves and branches.
Sam_Seymour smiles as her fingers curl around the object.....carefully pulling it out quickly putting the pack aside disregarding it for the moment as her attention rest solely upon the silken bag she holds. Pulling on the cord she opens it one palm out flat to catch the small crystal orb....her eyes bright as she gazes down upon it...fingers stroking it carefully as lips begin to slightly move
Flash_Guardian takes a step or two into the brush, allowing him a clear view of Sam while the noise quite likely alerts her to his presence. He catches sight of the crystal sphere as well, giving it a curious glance.
Sam_Seymour close her eyes as she lifts the small orb and places it upon her forehead holding it there....head slumping forwards a little her chin resting lightly upon her chest...her lips moving yet no sound seems to be uttered her surroundings forgotten...everything else gone from her...After a few seconds the orb seems to change its darkened colour lightening as tiny spheres seem to appear within it spinning and circling each other...bright in colour....flickers of zig zagging lines shooting out and webbing around the orb.
Flash_Guardian wonders if he's intruding upon a private moment or some sort of divination ... either way, probably best to keep his distance. He does take a step or two closer, trying to remain fairly silent for Sam's benefit but in no way trying to hide himself. More and more his eyes seem to turn back to the swirling lights seen in and around the crystal.
Rubens something humming moves through the grass, seeing alittle ditty in a voice that is both quiet and chirpy and deep and gruff at the same time, small puffs of smoke raise up over the long lengths of grass
Sam_Seymour mutters or at least appears to be...yet no sound is uttered......even the surrounding area seems devoid of sound everything falling into silence.....the spinning spheres become brighter the flashing zig zagging webbing like sparks flying ..the webbing lightly seeming to attach to Sam before letting go and zapping into another direstion.....Sam seems to nod her lips turning into first a smile before quickly setting to a hard line...this seems to go on for what seems like enternity yet really perhaps 10 mins
Flash_Guardian eventually comes to be right next to Sam, sitting himself down and simply watching over her. She doesn't seem to be fully aware of her surroundings at the moment, so perhaps a guard of sorts is best for her at the moment, in case anything unusual should happen. And so often they do on this island, it seems. His curiousity gets the better of him after a time, so he claps his hand to his chest, then brushes his fingers over closed eyelids, muttering a brief incantation of his own before glowing light-blue eyes open to look back at Sam and the crystal, now gifted with magical sight as well.
Rubens snorts and let out a sigh of reconisition, it pulled itself up onto a toadstool, the tiny man puffing on a small pipe as it stood upon the toadstall, watching the two of them, sniffed again, raising an eyebrow
Flash_Guardian doesn't seem to notice the tiny man ... rather he seems to have become transfixed upon that crystal orb at Sam's forehead, glowing eyes probing into its depths in curiousity ...
Sam_Seymour brows knit into a frown....a head shake and what looks like some sort of protest....yet again the lips moving make now sound...abruptly the lights dim....fade....the zig zagging less frequent...the webbing lacing the orb slowly vanishing...the spinning spheres shrinking...before darkness descends upon the crystal she holds upon her forehead....with a soft sigh Sam slumps back against the tree she was sitting in front of..eyes opening vacant and lost as they seem to come to rest upon Flash aware of him for the first time....blinking as colour returns to those eyes once more focus appearing as her arm drops a hand reaching for the velvet sack..her eyes holding onto Flash realising he must have seen much...her tongue licks her lips...
Rubens brushed his left shoulder and hopped back off again, smirking, he began walking away again through the long grass, humming his little ditty
Flash_Guardian looks back to Sam, blinking with his still glowing eyes, grinning sheepishly. "Didn't want to interrupt a private moment," he tells her quietly, "but at the same time I didn't want to leave you by yourself while you were ... away."
Sam_Seymour holds the velvet sack open as she slips the small crystal orb into its confines....her eyes never leaving Flash's as she nods slowly....."Thank you..." even her voice sounding dry and shaky....taking a deep breath clearing ..giving strength to the voice once more...." How long..have you been there....what what did you see?"
Flash_Guardian ponders his own visions thoughtfully. "My sight was somewhat limited," he tells her. "Almost like looking at an entire universe, another world surging with energy ... I could have sworn I heard a voice, but it was too difficult to make out ... too distant and distorted." Flash rubs at his eyes as they look to every place but the orb, almost avoiding it. "No mere parlor trick, that is," Flash says aloud, nodding to the ball.
Sam_Seymour watches Flash waiting upon an answer
[Flash_Guardian ] Flash_Guardian ponders his own visions thoughtfully. "My sight was somewhat limited," he tells her. "Almost like looking at an entire universe, another world surging with energy ... I could have sworn I heard a voice, but it was too difficult to make out ... too distant and distorted." Flash rubs at his eyes as they look to every place but the orb, almost avoiding it. "No mere parlor trick, that is," Flash says aloud, nodding to the ball.
Sam_Seymour seems to let out a long breath as she nods.....slowly a smile appearing....." No no it is not......when do you want to use the triad to go for Glyniss I suggest asp seeing the sate she is in..?" busying herself with her pack
Flash_Guardian shrugs casually. "I'm ready to go at any time. Just let me signal the Triad, and we'll be on our way."
Riku a few rocks fall from the sky, then some pillars arise from the ground, then one more rock falls from the sky, but slowly falls towards the ground, since riku was standing on it, he had just recently remembered his earth powers, and decided to test them. "uh... i hope no one was hurt though that barrage of rocks... heh heh heh."
Sam_Seymour head tilts as she hears the soft thudding of objects hitting earth and forest ....tilting to see where or what was the course...quickly fastening the buckle to the back pack ...nodding to Flash...." Good....shall we say tomorrow come rain or shine..." pushing herself up now as she looks at the where the new voice was coming from
Flash_Guardian arcs his own head in that direction, looking rather exasperated as he hears yet more of the forests of his island being destroyed by careless use of power. "Tomorrow it is," Flash tells her, letting out a grim sigh. "That had better not be Heyuka again ... that boy will never learn."
Riku jumps off the rock he was standing on, and walks towards Flash_Guardian and Sam_Seymour. "no, not heyuka... whoever that is. i'm Riku." riku said, slightly bowing.
Flash_Guardian looks to Riku with a tired expression. "Nice to meet you, Riku ... now perhaps next time you'll be a bit more careful where you throw those boulders? Trees have feelings too, you know."
Sam_Seymour side glances to Flash as she hefts the back onto her shoulder " Heyuka.......ooh yes the little kid.....met him in the tower a while back.....your teaching him then" stepping closer to Riku eyes drifting over him....a brow rised " Hello"
Riku scratches the back of his head, laughing a little. "heh heh... yeah, about that. just recentley remembered about my earth power... and i guess i broke my promise to Mononoke... a lot..." riku said, soon looking at Sam_Seymour. "hello."
Flash_Guardian just shakes his head, arms limp at his sides. "Welcome to Redfang Island, Riku."
Sam_Seymour looks a bit startled at Flash she's seen him usually a damn sight more friendlier then this to folks...." You okay Flash.....you seem kinda well..not with it?" stepping to him now eyes drifting over him
Riku sighs in relief finally, someone who doesn't want to kill me for accidentaly ruining their island a little . riku sighs again then looks around. "thank you for welcoming me. the island seems larger then the one i lived on."
Flash_Guardian glances back to Sam with a half-grin. "Let's just say it's a good thing I'm not a druid. Otherwise I'd be going 'righteous vengeance' all over the occupants and visitors of the island for all the trees they've smashed and abused." Flash shrugs his head, looking back to Riku. "Just be a bit more careful in the future, alright? Trees don't grow on ..." Flash stops in midsentence, thinking. "Ummm ... yeah. Never mind."
Severon-TDS - Like a drop of rain he falls from above the clouds, his body descending in freefall. Hair and clothes whip about wildly in the upgust produced from the speed of falling, shadows flow off like a plane having been shot down in mid air. It grew to engulf his body only for him to emerge again, wings like tattered cloth flared out causing him to slow but a little. "From the darkness I have come, into the light I will emerge." A few seconds before the ground his legs jerked downwards, now coming in at an angle he would slide along the ground. Stopping he was kneeling, getting up only to watch the surrounding area. Those blood crimson eyes tore away from whatever they were watching and looked in the direction of nearby talking. "Hmm...."
Sam_Seymour almost burst out laughing instead a broad grin breaks out.....she was still a little concerned hoping that what he had see wasnt leaving some lasting effect upon him but at least he was making some form of a joke...
Riku laughed, he knew what Flash ment. riku then stepped away from Flash and Sam. "well... i must make my leave." riku said, his hands started to glow yellow, and some thin earth pillars surrounded him. a bright flash would be seen, and after the flash, the pillars crumbled to the ground, leaving no trace of riku.
Sam_Seymour watches as the short visit comes to a very short end......" Emm.....you get the oddest of people came here dont you maybe you should consider opening a guest book for them all to sign "
Flash_Guardian waves as Riku departs almost the same way as he had come, then looks back to Sam. "I don't know about you, but I need a nap." He yawns, partially from boredom, before turning and heading back towards the trail leading to the dojo. "I'll see about getting a guestbook when I wake up."
Sam_Seymour nods " Sure you go and rest.....I'm gonna take a trip to the pub see what I can pick up"
Severon-TDS - Each step he took the shadows parted around him, hissing at him as if they were alive. The wings folded back up, a light breeze coursed through the forest as they did so. "From the darkness I have come, only to be drawn back." He sighed loudly, what was he to do, the darkness continued to follow him. Pull him back into the void, but it had to stop, his dark heretiage would remain but not the evil that existed within his heart. "ARGH! Why does it do this to me!" He shouted to the sky, as if calling out to someone or something.
Flash_Guardian nods, waving a hand back to Sam as he continues on, seeming not to care for much else other than his nap at the moment. "Yeah, you do that. Good luck, then." With another yawn and a stretch, Flash makes his way back to the dojo for some shuteye.
