The Knights Next Door

[old man moomba he/him]

Jamie stood up, wobbled at bit, and collapsed on to Cassie's bed. She was asleep within seconds.

Unless you don't want to do that?

Also, she's dreaming about taking down a Koloss.

Fine with me.

Yawning, I gave Jamie's sleeping form a satisfied smile and curled up in the corner with a blanket. Joy pulsed laughter, darkness, sleep at me, and I began to drift off. I might have wondered what the darkness was, but I assumed it was some way of expressing nighttime for her.

It wasn't.

Jason listened, absently dodging the mini-dragon in the air. It was just like all the other hallucinations in the air... wait... He stopped, watching the thing. "Are you a spren too? You look awesome!" He grinned at the dragon-looking spren, happy.

@Sorana

The dragon nodded, then changed form into a large serpent, playfully trying to wrap himself around Jason.

=================

Shana sighed. A dream. That wasn't her strength. How was she supposed to fight her in a dream?

"Say Leona, could you make a hammer for me and Rob?"

He laughed, using an incredible amount of dexterity and flexibility to try and avoid getting wrapped up by him. He failed in the end, but avoided getting caught for a good minute or two. He grinned at the spren. "That was fun... Do I have a spren of my own?" He looked at the now-a-snake spren curiously.

The snake paused, then rushed over to Shana, and brought her over.

Ask him if he spoke the words.

"He wants me to ask you, if you spoke the words."

She repeated, sitting down on the ground next to him.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He paused. "What words? I say a lot of words..." He seemed a bit uneasy again, almost scared.

Just now, ShadowLord_Lith said:

Mahad curled himself around Jason's arm, staying a snake.

Shana sighed, when she saw her spren and then nodded.

"You know who we are, what we are?"

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He shook his head. "No... I've never heard of a knight radiant until today..." He thought he'd heard someone call them that... maybe once... a long, long time ago, possibly. Possibly... he shut down that line of thinking- those thoughts... he never wanted to think about that part of his history again. Even if he knew certain words would be found there. Words he hadn't remembered to forget in a very long time...

Shana smiled sadly when she saw his face change. Memories.

"It's alright."

She told him quietly.

"To be a Knight Radiant you have to be broken. It doesn't matter how, it matters that you are."

She reached over to him, but touched Mahad.

"I'd do everything for my little friend here, but he came at a price."

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He smiled, nodding. "All the best things do. Why?"

"You'll know the words when its time."

Mahad wrapped itself around her arm.

"Just don't be afraid. They're worth it."

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He paused, staring. He remembered a swirling pattern of infinite spirals that... he missed. "I'm sure I will... right now, I need to go upstairs and not talk to Ax about everything. Totally not so I can avoid having a mental and emotional breakdown in front of any of you... nope. I... I'm tired. Yeah! Goodnight Magic wizard people- oh, Rob, hammers are cool. Show me how to use one sometime, please?" He grinned, then hurried over to Ax and gripped his arm. He then started trying to go upstairs with him. To most his grip would look normal- Ax would feel how much tighter he was holding him than normal. He hoped they could move faster soon...

[+Sorana she/her]

Shana watched him go, flee from her words. She closed her eyes and rested her head on her knees for a moment. She'd hurt him. Again she'd hurt someone so much that he fled. Then she got to her feet, looked at Rob, face impassive, at Ben who was watching the movie. Doc, who'd only spoken when he thought they might get themselves killed. Doc.

Walking over to him she grabbed a nearby stool for balance.

"Doc? Can I have a moment of your time?"

She asked in a small voice.

"Sure." he said quietly, "What'cha need." 

I really should talk to them more. I feel bad, you know? 

The Stormfather rumbled in assent.

"Somewhere private?"

"Kay..." Doc walked into the kitchen, motioning for her to follow.

Shana followed him as fast as she could without falling over, closed the door behind her.

"I've almost killed Rob. And he says it's alright, but I feel like it's not and I feel terrible and I wish I had told him no, but he wanted to help me, and I don't think he knew what it would entail, and he's just sitting there, and he's always so impassive, but now he's even - I don't know. And I told him that I'm sorry, and he said he was sorry, but it's there and I think he'll never train with me again, because now he's afraid and then Ben helped with maths, but I still don't get it, and I have this test on monday and I really wanted to study, but then the thing with Rob happened and I have no idea how I can show him, that I'll never do it again, even if he uses the blades again, and Ax boyfriend was here and I tried to talk to him, but he fled as well and I'm only good to rip things apart and Ben is worried about your opinion and I'm not sure if I should worry or not and it's all a mess."

"Alright Rob, I see shana's gone off somewhere else." said Leona. "Hammers. Okay. I don't really know what kind you want. So you're going to need to mold it yourself. Makes it easier to soulcast. Anyways." She thought for a second. "Um, I have extra wood in my room, would that be cool for a handle? Otherwise I can just soulcast it. So basically, make the head of the hammer for me, and I can make it into whatever, but first you need to tell me what "whatever" is."

Rob nodded.

“I can mold stone into the right shape,” he said. “And you can soulcast it.” He watched people leave during the movie, Jason leave, Shana and Doc leave. Rob didn’t fully understand the movie he was watching either, but the dwarves were cool.

“Are you tired?” Rib asked Leona, looking at the dark sky outside. “I think I am.”

Ax pulled him into a hug, then led him upstairs and to Ax's room.

[ShadowLord_Lith he/him]

He liked the hug... it helped him calm down and follow him more easily. "Thank you... how long have you been able to do this?"

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

“Super tired,” Leona replied. “Went to bed late last night and it’s late tonight and all these new people..” she sighed. “It’s just a lot, ya know?”

[overlord stick]

"It has been a pretty long day. Plus, you soulcast all that cake, that probably took a lot out of you."

I just realized- the Stormfather will know as soon as the attack in Colorado happens, because of all the broken oaths.

"Since I was twelve," Ax mumbled, looking down.
