Illiana sighed as she followed along with the group. "Here we go again..." She shook her head before following behind the group. Taran kept running ahead, eventually reaching a body of water. The group started to wade in it as Taran was absolutely sure Hen Wen was further along the current path. Illiana stepped into the water and had immediately felt something was off. Taran looked back at Illiana before the water had started to pull them deeper into its depths. "Taran!" She looked at each person in the group were sinking into the water's depths. "Dammit...." She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm as she let the water dragged her down into its mysterious abyss. Illiana opened up her eyes and saw the water just overhead of the group. She sat up and looked around to find herself and the others in some strange cave. She slowly stood up and dusted off her clothes, a little curious as to how her clothes were dry. Illiana decided not to ponder over it as Thallasa addressed the group. "What part of any of this is 'natural'? Maybe something the Horned King made?" She looked around her as she made her assumption. Her eyes had then fallen to Taran. Eilonwy was being checked on by Aria so she didn't want to worry too much. She slightly jogged over to the boy. "Taran. Are you alright?" She knelt down to check on the boy to make sure he wasn't too harmed.

Luna and the rest of them had made it back to the camp. Once they reached the camp, what greeted them was the sight of what had appeared to be the men preparing for a major battle. "This is getting out of hand..." Ratcliffe had then walked over to the trio. "I told you those savages couldn't be trusted. Smith tried to deal with them, and look what they've done to him!" Luna had felt a dark aura oozing out of him the more he spoke. She tried to remain calm while Ratcliffe had more to say. "But now I say it's time to rescue our courageous comrade. They want to kill us, all of us! They've got our gold, and they'll do anything to keep it!" Luna immediately spoke up. "That's not true!! All they want is peace!! They no nothing about gold nor what it looks like!!!" Ratcliffe's voice rang throughout the camp. "Murderous thieves! There's no room for their kind in civilized society. And I say anyone who so much as looks at an Indian... without killing them on sight will be tried for treason... and hanged!" Luna gasped a bit as her eyes widen. Ratcliffe had then turned to the trio to address them. "I don't know who's side it is you're on exactly, but I'd choose well. My men are armed to the tee. If you aren't here to fight, then stay out of our way." Aislinn had then spoke up, putting her in the way of Ratcliffe and the way to the native village. She had tried to convince Ratcliffe to put a stop to this before it gets even more out of hand. Kel had then addressed Ratcliffe. He too had tried to make Ratcliffe see the error his way. Luna took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. She tried to think of her next words, in hopes to stop this impending war. Luna opened her eyes and walked in front of Aislinn and Kel. She looked Ratcliffe dead in the eyes before speaking. "Why?....Why must you resort to violence?" Luna paused before continuing. "They have not harmed you or your men. There is no gold in this land. The only gold we've seen is the wonderful and prosperous corn they grow. The natives of this land only seek peace." Luna's eyes had held a different fire to them as the air around her had slightly changed. She had this regal swirl around her, as if she was not a warrior but a royal fighting for her people. It was if the village was like a home to her. She wanted to defend it and its people while still keeping the peace with the opposing side. "Me and my friends have seen your men and we've traveled with John Smith. They do not want to fight either, I'm sure of it. There are other ways to resolve this without resorting to violence. The natives of this land will be more than willing to talk if we stop all this now." She paused before walking up to Ratcliffe. "If you continue down this path, there will be no gold, no people, no life. Just pain, suffering, and loss for both sides. This has to stop. Now. I won't let a single innocent life be taken because of your wicked greed." Hopefully, Luna's words would help Ratcliffe stop and think. If this battle takes place, then that horseman will have a clear opening to take Pocahontas....we must not let this battle happen at all costs before all is lost. August Attendance: 2/31
Sounds interesting!! Let’s give it a try!
Evie kept walking alongside Gale as they continued their trek deep into the woods. She listened to Dot occasionally as she tried to keep her mind off the underground. She had then heard Raelyn and Rex speaking up. By their tone of voice, things were not looking okay. Evie walked away from Gale and immediatelygets in between Rex and Raelyn. "H-hey...Let's all calm down for a moment. We won' be able to get anywhere if we're going to start complaining or bickering now. It won't do any of us any good." Evie tried to keep a smile on her face as she tried to talk to the two. She took a deep breath before walking again. As she was walking, she was starting to relax a little more before she heard a voice ring out. "THERE!" "Ahh!!" Evie jumped a little before running behind a tree. She peeked out from behind, only to see Rex holding a Memory Crystal. She walked out from behind the tree and back toward the group. Rex had then decided to give the Memory Crystal over to someone else. As much as Evie wanted her memory back, she was a little scared. She felt as if she wasn't ready to uncover her lost memory yet. Gale had then suggested that Raelyn receive the crystal. She stood there looking at each person in the group, remaining silent.
Luna looked over at Pocahontas before walking up to her. "Thank goodness you're okay!" Pocahontas had then asked about the heartless and what exactly were they. "They are beings that have lost their own selves to the shadows within. Just mindless beings looking for something to make them feel whole again." Luna looked down before making eye contact with the native. She looked over to John Smith as he commended them on their strength and courage. She nodded her head before hearing the voice of the Village Chief. He had immediately ordered Pocahontas to move away from the trio and John Smith. Luna was definitely shocked, not because of the chief's words but the air around him. Chief Powhatan had immediately ordered his men to capture John Smith. He had then instructed the trio to find the campsite and alert them that there is no gold to found on this land. Luna nodded her head before Powhatan looked over to them. "As for you three. You are no longer welcome here. Your spirit's were pure. But they have been tainted by greed. Warn your leader that we will not be moved from our home." "That's not true!" Luna tried to argue but Chief Powhatan had walked away with the rest of his men. "I know it's not...." The trio were then greeted by Nanaki. "What's wrong?" "I have seen the visitors... They are arming themselves for war. Something is wrong in this world. Everyone's spirits are being flooded by hatred and darkness." Luna's eyes widen for a moment before taking a deep breath. After doing just that, she continued to listen to Nanaki. Though...His next words were very alarming. "I believe they are being led by this man I saw. He was neither from this world, nor Smiths... He rode a black horse and his head was... not present. As hard as that is to believe..." Headless...Horseman....Flashes of memory played back in her mind. Her time in Wonderland and Beast's Castle....Pocahontas was in more danger than she had realized. "This is bad.....This is very bad....." Luna turned to the two before speaking again. "If we don't stop that horseman and this war soon....we might lose more than this land...." Aislinn had suggested that they find the horseman. "We need to do more than just find him. That horseman isn't here just to stir things up....Pocahontas is more grave danger than before. If that horseman gets to her because of....certain traits.....I rather not imagine what would happen...We need to make sure she's safe while stopping this impending war." Luna looked to the two as she informed them.
Evie walked along with the group as they were heading underground. Evie wasn't the fondest of dark places. She still felt a little uncomfortable after the whole thing after defeating the golems. She moved away from Rex and headed over to Gale. He seemed reliable. He had this air around him. He felt like an older brother to her. She went behind him and spoke. "I apologize about this. I'm not good with dark places." Gale didn't seem to have a problem with it. She stayed behind Gale as they started to look for the memory crystals. She tried to keep her eyes peeled for the crystals. Evie tried to take deep breaths to calm herself. She tried to keep her mind off it and stay focused on the task at hand. "I hope we find these crystals soon. I wanna get back above ground pronto." Evie sighed while looking around.
Luna dodged out of the way of the battleship's attack. She gracefully glided across the ice to avoid the cannons that the battleship was sending her way. Aislinn and Kel had been attacking the battleship for a bit. When she stopped, she felt a surge of strength flow through her. "What's going on?!" The princess looked at her hands and then at her blade before looking at her two teammates. "Hey guys!! We might be able to finish this!!" Kel went in for the killing blow for the next battleship. Once it was destroyed, he went in to injure another battleship. The final battleship was getting weaker. She looked over to Aislinn as she raced over to it. "Do it!!!!" Luna cheered on Aislinn as she dealt the final blow to the swarm of heartless. Luna looked around her and saw that there were no more heartless in sight. "We did it!! Good work guys!!" She smiled as she looked over to the two. Aislinn had then requested Luna to go check on Pocahontas. "Go check on the princess!" Luna nodded her head before creating another path of ice in front of her. She raced her way down the path in search for the native princess. "Pocahontas!! Pocahontas!! Where are you??"
Sammmmmeeeeee. Sammmeeee. lol
Illiana continued to listen to Thallasa's tale. She finished her glass and stood up without interrupting Thalllasa. Well...I better leave. I got what I needed to know. Besides, I haven't had any time to check my bandages from earlier. Hopefully they haven't scarred. Illiana walked off and away into her tent for the night. Illiana looked over at her bandages and started to take off the bandages. Once the bandages have been removed, Illiana looked at what was lying underneath. "Damn...So much for it not scarring." She looked over the scars for a bit, reminiscing the memories behind it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I just want this to be over as soon as possible. I getting the pieces little by little. The sooner this is over, the sooner we can go home. I just hope I can get you home sooner." Illiana sighed before letting her hair down and getting ready to sleep. Iliiana opened her eyes the next morning and got dressed. She exited her tent and saw the sun starting to peek out. "Good time for a light run. Wouldn't hurt to look around. Doubt they've followed us but it doesn't hurt." Illiana tied her hair up into a ponytail and zipped up her tent before heading out. Once she returned back to the campsite, an odd scene had been playing out before her. Fflam was petrified as he was pointing at the tree. Qamar and Aria had then noticed and called out to the creature on the branch. She looked over and saw it was Gurgi mumbling about something. Illiana sighed and walked past the scene unfolding. "I'm not dealing with this, especially if it's in the morning. I'm heading back into my tent again." Illiana walked back into her tent and grabbed a small hand towel, wiping the sweat off her forehead. After several minutes, Illiana got out of her tent and headed over to the log.
"And you as well Onyx." Ozpin walked over to Onyx and grabbed the glass he was holding out. "Thank my friend but I'll stick to my coffee for now. Now tell me. To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" Ozpin smiled as he put the glass down and took a sip from his coffee instead. Onyx had taken a sip of his whiskey. "By all means, the floor is all yours." Onyx's next words were a definite surprise to the professor. "Oh...Hmm...This is definitely a surprise. Though..." He paused as he put his coffee back on his desk. "I can't say I'm surprised. Your eyes tell me that something has changed recently. I'm quite curious as to what that change might be."
Thallasa's eyes immediately saddened at the mention of her students. Illiana looked over to her only to see some tears being wiped away. She took another sip of her drink. She remained quiet as Qamar immediately chimed in. She decided to let Qamar ask her own questions. Maybe something interesting about the council would come up. Illiana reached into her umbrella and grabbed a pitcher and refilled her drink. Returning the pitcher to her umbrella, Illiana took a sip as she looked into the fire, patiently awaiting Thallasa answers. Hopefully, she'll be able to help me bring some pieces of this puzzle to light. If the council thinks I'm gonna go with the flow, they're dead wrong. I rather have some knowledge than no knowledge. Illiana took another sip while casting her eyes toward the fire.
Luna looked around for anymore heartless that might have been lingering. After several moments, she knew it was time to take the battle to the last three heartless standing. Luna took a deep breath before charging in for an attack. She aimed her keyblade at one of the battleships, for it was growing weaker and weaker. "I think it's time for you to cool down a little!!" Ice began gathering at the tip of her blade. Once the ice had charged up, she fired the Blizzaga spell. The ice immediately hit the battleship heartless, damaging it greatly. "It's almost down!!" Heartless Injured: Jim the Battleship Sr: 35/200 Heartless Remaining: 3 Battleships-200 BP Words Written: 100 EXP Gained: 10 EXP Total: 49
Yukyo listened as Lady Erin answer about her husband's whereabouts. He nodded his head as she answered. Lady Erin had then requested Vestele to retrieve one of the cakes. Yukyo was quite curious as to what exactly she was planning. Vestele had then cut a piece from the cake and handed it to Lady Erin. To Yukyo's surprise, an envelope was hidden in the cake. Erin had then pulled out a pendant from it. "Well I was not expecting that." The pendant, according to Lady Erin, was made by her elder brother who had sadly passed. Apparently, Madam Madeleine had taught him the ways of the mage before he had joined Divine Rose. "I'm sure he was a great mage." Yukyo took off his hat as he placed it over his heart. Lady Erin had then revealed another little tidbit that really surprised the young man. Samuel is the youngest brother of Lady Erin?! "I knew Sammy was something different. Well, now I just have more teasing ammo but that's another topic for another day." Yukyo put his hat back on as a slight smirk graced his face. Shawn had then asked about their current plans. Yukyo sighed a bit before turning to the boy. "It's simple. Have some cake, relax, head back to Madam ?Madeleine, claim our reward and head back home. Don't start getting preoccupied with other matters." Yukyo smacked his hat over Shawn's head as he gave the boy his response. He put his hat back on before bowing to Lady Erin. "Would it be rude of me to ask milady if we were to have some these delicious pastries?" Yukyo smiled as he asked his questions.
Professor Ozpin had been completing some paperwork when he heard the elevator ding. He looked up from his paperwork, only to find an old friend. He smiled before standing up and fixing his jacket. "Well this is a little unexpected...." He paused before smiling. "But it is not unwelcomed." Ozpin walked from behind and in front of his desk. "What can I do for you Onyx?"
Alright then. Evie is going to unequip Aqua Stream and re-equip Poison Needles.
Evie will spend 4 stat points into Attack, 2 points into Stamina, 2 points into HP, and 1 point into Accuracy. She will also spend 150 Grist on the Water element. She will then buy Aqua Stream and Water Beam!
Koa watched on as Charlie described the Thunderdome. The only way to get rid of the dome was to have 10 people?! That was unbelievable. Koa didn't know what to think or what to do. He had then heard Vallus' voice ring out. "You say that this dome won't go away until theirs only ten of us, but what if we just kill the caster." Vallus had drew his sword to stand against Charlie. Koa thought about it for a few moments before reaching for his necklace. He took a deep breath before speaking. "I promised Luna I would make it back home safe and sound! I'm not about to break my promise!" He reached into his pocket for his cube. He immediately formed his spear, readied it for battle, and ran next to Vallus. "Besides, if I don't help her with the wedding plans, I fear she might be the one to put an end to me." Koa sighed and shuddered a little at the thought of it before shaking his head and reading his spear once more.
Tsubasa looked around the mess hall as conversations had been continuing all around her. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Maybe it would be beneficial for her to join in one of these conversations. Perhaps she can make a friend or maybe find a way out of this prison. She stood up from her table and walked around a little bit. As she stood up, the sounds of a fight had begun to roar in the mess hall. Tsubaba looked over and immediately backed up away from the fight at hand. She continued to back up until her back had hit someone. "Oh! Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry about that!!" Tsubasa turned around and bowed her head as she apologized. She picked up her head and saw she had bumped into a man with silver hair. "Again, I'm sorry for bumping into you. It was an accident!" Tsubasa scratched her head as she apologized once more to the man.
Illiana took another sip while Thallasa had begun to answer her first question. She listened intently as the keyblade master recounted her tale. Illiana took another sip of her liquor. "In any case, the Council wanted me to recover and stay out of the way while they planned how to best put me to use. I did not want to keep my head down but it was what they ordered." Illiana nodded her head as Thallasa finished her thought. She looked into the fire as she pondered Thallasa's words. "Interesting......Very interesting.....I'll keep that in mind." Illiana closed her eyes as she took one more sip from her cup. A few moments had passed until she heard Thallasa's voice ring out again. "Anything else you wish to have answered? My favorite color is light blue, by the way." Illiana smirked for a moment before roaming into her mind for her next question. After several moments, her next question was ready for an answer. "Don't quit your day job. Anyway, next one. If that's so....then what happened to your students? I'd assumed you had students following you. What ever happened to them?" Illiana looked over to Thallasa. Did her students fall to the same fate that her world did? Or did something else happen?
