Flash_Guardian sits cross-legged beneath the shade of a willow tree, its many hanging leaves serving as a curtain to shelter him from both the wind and the heat of the sun. His hands rest limply upon his knees, his back straight, eyes closed in total concentration.

little_half~breed_kodora she sat by a pond, watchign the fish swi maround and around, occasionally batting her paw in the water, trying to catch the small slippery suckers.

Blank slowly strides into the area, his hands stuffed into his pockets. His aqua blue gaze stuck on the ground.

Flash_Guardian grins as his heightened awareness lights upon a familiar presence sitting by a nearby pond ... he grins, then concentrates for a moment, waving his hand side to side in a wriggling motion. Suddenly a brightly colored fish seems to appear in the pond where Kodora is. It circles the pond once or twice, then seems to swim up out of the pond, hovering in air just out of Kodora's reach as she is sitting.

little_half~breed_kodora she fell into the water, face fisrt, and apon coming up she had a rather large, brightly coloured coy. she climbs back onto the grass begining to eat the raw, live fish happily, her throat vibrating softly as she purrs.

Flash_Guardian notes another familiar presence, now chuckling softly. The multicolored aerial fish swims over in Blank's direction, circling his head once or twice before heading back to Kodora. Blank easily recognizes it as a harmless illusion.

Blank glances up to see the multicolored fish fly about his head. His lips twist into a light frown as he stopped near the pond area. "Hmph."

Flash_Guardian seems to be getting frustrated, though he retains his upright posture and focus. The magical rainbow fish wiggles back and forth in front of Kodora's face, trying desperately to get her attention.

Blank takes note of Flash and his friend breifly. Perhaps he was just checking up on them. With the breif observation he flickered out with a simple teleportation spell.

little_half~breed_kodora she chased after the fish, running on all fours in circles after the fish, trying to snap at it with her teeth, ocasionally tryign to get it with her claws

Flash_Guardian grins amusedly ... the fish darts away from Kodora, always staying just out of reach. It starts to flee towards the safety of a nearby willow tree, finally wiggling its way through the curtain of leaves and disappearing. Kodora thinks she sees a familiar figure behind the curtain ...

little_half~breed_kodora she chases the fish up the tree, then looks oddly at the curtain. was it jester? i mean only jester could makea pretty fishy like that. "Jest?" she asked. she really didnt' know what to call him. so jest would have to do

Flash_Guardian frowned slightly at Kodora's guess. "No Kodora, just me," he says calmly, eyes still closed in concentration. The fish begins to swim around Flash's head slowly and leisurely, seeming quite at home. He gives Kodora a friendly smile. "I'm glad that I found you here," he tells her.

little_half~breed_kodora she smiles happily and hugs Flash, giggling happily, her tongue hanging out a bit as she pants. " I missed you" she said happily, her cheeks a rose pink form al lthe running she had been doing.

Flash_Guardian hugs the girl back, giving a happy laugh, but retaining his air of patient calm. "I missed you too," he says smoothly, slowly raising a finger in attention. "I have something for you." The fish continues to hover just overhead.

little_half~breed_kodora she looks up at him snuggling into his hug ".. what is it?"

Flash_Guardian slowly reaches up a hand towards the fish, eventually wrapping his fingers around it. The fish disappears into Flash's grasp, and he brings the hand close to his chest, bringing his other hand up. Suddenly he knocks his hands together, opening them to show her their sudden emptiness ... the fish is gone.

little_half~breed_kodora she blinks a bit, pulling his hands to her nose, sniffing them, maybe the fish was hiding in his hands?... she took her claw, gently beingingto try and dig at his hand to make the tasty meal come out

Flash_Guardian chuckles, and suddenly Kodora's diggings seem to bear fruit. Slowly a small reddish sphere, round and smooth, seems to come up out of Flash's hand harmlessly, resting in his open palm before Kodora. As she gazes at the crimson sort of marble, she thinks she can see a sort of soft flicker deep within the glassy sphere. Flash offers it to her, smiling.

little_half~breed_kodora she picks up the sphere from his hands, looking at it , " whats it do?" she inquired, her mind full of curiosity.

Flash_Guardian nods at her, eyes still closed in his focus. "It's a summoning bead," he informs her. "If you hold it tightly in your hand and try to reach me with your thoughts, I will hear you and try to come find you if I can." Smiling, he adds with caution, "Just try not to use it excessively. And be aware that I can't always respond, but I'll try my best."

little_half~breed_kodora she nods softly, smiling brightly at it : "purty" she pets it softly

Flash_Guardian 's demeanor becomes a bit more serious. "Use it if that Jester bum starts giving you trouble, or you're afraid," he explains, a note of coldness in his voice.

little_half~breed_kodora she loses her smile and nods softly " ok"

Flash_Guardian nods to Kodora, breathing a long and powerful breath before returning his hands to his knees. "I must keep meditating ... I am trying to realize something within myself. I don't want to bore you, but I must return to my concentration."

[little_half~breed_kodora] ".. flash.. why do you hate him so much?.. he is nice, most of the time, and has never hurt me.."

Flash_Guardian frowns. "He hasn't hurt you yet," he corrected.

[little_half~breed_kodora] ".. well not really. but that wasn't him. it was a mean rat trying to eat meand Net"

Flash_Guardian lets forth a prolonged sigh. "And I don't hate him," he adds.

[little_half~breed_kodora] " it seems like you do" she said softly, sitting down besideh im, snuggling up to him to keep her warm.

Flash_Guardian was given pause. He really couldn't argue with Kodora's words. Perhaps somewhere deep he did feel more than simple dislike towards the Jester. "He makes my job very difficult," Flash explains shortly, grinning at Kodora's cuddling, but otherwise not moving.

[little_half~breed_kodora] "thats what he is supposed to do Flash. Keep the balance of life, good and bag, dry and wet, with out law and order, chaos would run rampet, chaos keeps law and order from being too powerfull. without caos, law and order would soon turn corrupt too.

[little_half~breed_kodora] " just like demons, and angels"

Flash_Guardian seems impressed ... so young, and already she understands the concept of balance. He smiles, slowly removing a hand from his knee to place it upon her head, stroking the fur down her neck. "True, very true," he says, nodding thoughtfully. "But for those of us who must press the fight, it doesn't make things any more enjoyable."

Flash_Guardian 's hand bumps against Kodora's collar as he pets her ... abruptly the smile is wiped from his face, replaced by a look of sorrow.

[little_half~breed_kodora] " and you don't make his any more enjoyable. thats how it;s supposed to be.there isn't meant to be joy in it, if there was, the concept of balance woudl soon be last" :she purrs more from his petting, her pupils coming small splinters. "she looked upa t him ".. oh.. that... i've tried to take it off, others have too. it just won't budge" she sighs sadly.

Flash_Guardian remembers the time that he tried, and failed, to remove the collar from around Kodora's neck ... even calling upon the aid of his deity hadn't given him any more leverage. He took in Kodora's words, mulling them over silently in his thoughts.

XAngelofdreamsX :walks into the garden she was clearly a slave by the bracelet she had on her wrist her wings where foolded to her back she had on a white gown and a light blue over coat around her neck was a ring that held a metalic cross on it there was a anti-magic symbol on her forhead and a tattoo on her neck showing that she was owne she walked throu the garden looking around as she did her eyes settled on FLash and Kodora she stopped dead where she was not moving she was frozen to the spot as she looked at them::

Uncanny_Dodge walks in strutin his stuff.

little_half~breed_kodora she looked up to flash ".. show me some more magics?" she asked softly ".. i stil lwant to eat that fishy"

Uncanny_Dodge busts out in song, "I, I just died in your arms tonight, It must've been something you said."

Uncanny_Dodge sits down, studying his journal.

Bright - The little beast scurries in to the Garden, head moving from side to side like that of a serpent's, and arms and legs moving in a flurry of motion. Making his way to a large willow tree, the thing curled up beneath it as though her were a feline, giving a motion that would seem as though he were yawning, and yet obviously unable to do such a thing.

Flash_Guardian sits next to Kodora beneath the willow tree, grinning down at her and chuckling softly. "Sorry, but you'll never be able to catch what doesn't exist." The tiny rainbow fish appears in midair again, swimming out from behind Flash's head, though now it was seemingly transparent, revealed to be no more than a figment of imaginition. Flash frowns curiously, his eyes still closed in focus, yet he was alerted to a new pair of eyes that were watching intently. "Is there something I can help you with?" he asks politely to Angelofdreams.

Malechai_Darius_Obsidienne storms his way into the garden and sits himself beneath a tree. Why

[Malechai_Darius_Obsidienne] *darn enter key*

XAngelofdreamsX :shook her head rapidly turning around and started to walk away she had been snapped back to her attention when he spoke to her she was realy jumpy when she was away from her master afriad that he would come and get her and take her back to hurt her even more she looked down shaking her head trying to get the image out not wanting to see it anymore she walked stright to a patch of roses and sat down beside them looking at them she still couldnt get the image out of her head::

little_half~breed_kodora she leaps and bounds at teh fish, slowly being lead out of the tree's safetey. she gives out small cub like roars,, though everytime she came close to catching it, it either flickered away in a puff of smoke, only to reform a few moments later, or it was just out o her reach. she ran on all fours, tumblig and rolling, her ears perked forward in the exciting hunt.

Uncanny_Dodge *odd*

Uncanny_Dodge runs up to Angelofdreams and kicks her

NickAnderson had entered the garden, just now making his way through the maze of this town, though he knew the streets and alleys, as well as the tree paths, quite well. He looked, and, found to his liking, Mr. Flash here once again. He starts to walk in his general direction, keeping out of the lime-light of the commonly used path.

XAngelofdreamsX :got kicked hard in the side and flew to the ground landing with a thump she couldnt stop the pain that had just surged throu her body nor could she defend her self since the anti-magic symbol was on her forhead::

Uncanny_Dodge runs and hides
