Meet Rembar, my faithful little Nuk. She's my best pal and companion as she follows me everywhere I go, although sometimes when I fly she has to follow on ground. I've tried to convince her to let me carry her, but she seems to have a terror of heights. Back at the tree house, though, she has no problems climbing to the second and third floor rooms... as long as she doesn't look out the windows!Rhynji closed her eyes, her breathing shallow and soft. She was sitting by the lake, shivering. It was a strange action for her, since she was so...barely living in a way. But something was wrong and she could tell. Someone was wrong. They.
She opened her eyes suddenly, pupils narrowing to small dots, as she gasped, standing up and flipping around. There they were. Two of them, tall and wispy, eerie and deathlike. But she knew...They....
She backed up, eyes wide, falling into the lake water but still backing away. What was this? Fear? Yes.
One of them raised its hand, and Rhynji froze, her pupils vanishing suddenly. Something stirred in her mind, something dangerous, frightening...
Azrai flew over the lake, having left Vaetur at home, he was out looking for Rhyn, whom he hadn't seen since the night she had spent at his house. As he crossed the lake, he saw a black figure backing into it's waters, and he grinned happily.
Rhyn!" He called out, circling lower, flying towards her, not even noticing the tall whispy figures.
Rhynji didn't even notice Azrai till he called out her name, the one he had given her.
She turned to stare at him, with her now eerie white pupils, that grew smaller ever still. "Azrailen..." She said, "RUN."
But she couldn't say more as she broke into a screech, unearthly and frightening.
The figures emerged, barely visible, but when you saw them, bloodcurdlingly scary in the night air.
Rhyn began to shake, as her energy began to swirl around her, and her face creased in pain.
Azrai stopped short, hovering in the air right above her, not understanding her cry of run.. then he saw the figures, eyes wide in fear, as he heard Rhyn scream below him. Looking at her, he saw the swirling energy, and knew he had to get away from above her, or he'd be hurt like last time. Flying forward, because it was easier, he found himself flying *toward* the figures.
The figures turned, their hole-like eyes regarding Azrai, and one of them lifted a large clawed hand towards him.
But nothing happened, and it turned slowly to Rhyn, holding its hand to her instead.
Her eyes were now completely white, glowing, as was her tail's marking. She stood from the water, and the energy swirled around her, as she turned to Azrai, and mouthed, 'Get...away...' But she couldn't do more as she suddenly leapt into the air, the energy swirling around her back feverishly, before forming into two large wings, which flapped, keeping Rhyn afloat.
But she twitched, doing nothing else, looking as if she was holding something back, with great effort.
The figures growled softly, sounding like metal grinding on metal as they watched.
Azrai turned to watch as he suddenly decided the figures were somehow behind Rhyn's actions, and he narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to run, leave her under the control of these .... these... things...
He stood his ground, and his gem glowed brightly, as a strong gust of wind blew harshly from him towards the figures below.
The figures didn't move, but they looked increasingly agitated, raising their claws and letting out a shrill hissing noise.
Rhyn herself reacted, quickly and sharply firing a large bolt of energy, like lightning, at Azrai, though her -disallowed_word-(rofl)) He grinned, they hadn't seen any shadows in the past day or so, so he supposed it would be safe if he did a quick fly over the jungle.
Launching himself into the air, he sped off above the trees, enjoying the fresh air above the canopy, and the feeling of rushing wind across his wings, as he flew in a straight line away from the group. He grinned, it really was great to fly.
As he made his way away from the group, shadowy figures watched him from the trees, and as he started flying in a big loop back towards the group, they launched themselves towards him.
Azrai was sufficiently distracted so he didn't notice them till one hawk-like creature screeched at him, as they attacked. Taken by surprise, and clearly outnumbered, Azrai cried out as they impacted against him, and he began to fall from the sky.
Furiously beating his wings to keep him in the air, Azrai felt panic as the creatures grabbed his wings and started pulling. He yelled in pain as he was suddenly suspended in the air by the shadows that pulled at his wings.
Then with a ripping sound, they broke, and he fell to the ground, hitting various branches on the way down, falling in a crumpled, unmoving heap on the ground, blood staining his back, and various wounds from the fall.
Rhynji had been speaking with Rouvor about the shadows when she turned and Azrai wasn't there.
Panicked she glanced around, wondering where he was, when she felt some shadow activity and looked over just as Azrai's wings were broken off.
She gasped sharply, and began at a frantic run towards where he fell.
AZRAILEN!" She yelled, feeling this strange sensation, Fear, for the first time.
Azrailen lay still unconscious on the ground. The flying shadows were circling above him, but down below there were other menaces. A mutant kougra had felt the scent of blood, and peered now from the brush at the fallen xwetok. An easy meal... he thought, walking forward and sniffing at Azrai hungrily.
Rhynji burst into the area Azrai fell in and saw the kougra, letting out an unearthly screech as she leapt at it, inverdestroyer energy shooting out and stabbing towards it.
Rouvor was watching, quietly, and had followed her. He was hard to notice, as at the moment Rhyn was quite furious.
The Kougra hissed, jumping back as Rhyn flew out at her, but he definetly didn't like the stabbing energy of this female xweetok, so he turned tail and ran back into the forest.
Azrai moaned painfully, as he began to wake up, the pain registering first.
Rhyn turned around, and ran over, leaning and putting a paw on Azrai's back worriedly, looking at the blood.
You...are hurt.." She said, quietly, "You shouldn't have flown, Azrailen." She looked down at him with an echo of worry, the most emotion she could show with her face.
Rouvor watched, and then twitched heavily as the shadows above still swirled, and were now invading his mind.
He held his head, closing his eyes. He couldn't be triggered. He couldn't.
Azrai's eyes opened when he heard Rhyn, wincing when her paw touched his back, whimpering slightly, "I.. I didn't think... they were here..." He said painfully, struggling to stand. His back burned where the wings had been pulled out, and he felt bruised from the fall.
Rhyn looked at him worriedly, knowing she could do nothing.
You need to get bak to Xarnya, she can heal you." She said, standing and handing a paw to help Azrai up.
Rouvor opened his eyes, which were darker than before as he stepped out of the bushes.
Rhyn looked over, and recognized the -disallowed_word-she can't stand baby-talk), and loves being matter-of-factly about everything. She's easy to smile, and fun to play with though, and her control over fire is astonishing!
Art
Yes, I am a tad bit vain, but you must admit faerie Xweetoks are handsome creatures, and I am a very beautiful specimen! Here's a small collection of art Hikaru has made, either totally by herself, or using makeables she's found.
Fanart
Since I'm so beautiful and Hikaru likes doing art trades, we've managed to get a few pieces of fanart. While there's still a short ammount of them, we'll showcase the actual image, later on we might have to just post the links though.
