the fellowship of the thing The Fellowship of the Thing - I'm bored. Let's mess around! (Retired)

Just now, Scarletfox said:

"I... I don't know." The Little Fox closed her eyes, Nathrangking was not in good enough health to do her any damage. "It... I'm trying to listen to my heart... but nothing's responding but the immediate. There's nothing.... deeper...." Her eyes came open. "Gah! I can't get it!"

I take a calming breath coughing all of the while. I give her a wan smile the shows my pain. "What do you feel? The confusion. The memories. The emotions. They are yours to command. Reach into your mind. Block out all else. Immerse yourself in your depths. Let yourself be guided." Some of my pains fade, but I fear she may have cracked a rib. I let all that I am rush through her. I send as much calming warmth and love as I can manage. I begin to shiver as weakness begins to set in.

The Little Fox stopped, and closed her eyes. She did not let herself feel anything else. She no longer felt the breeze in the forest, or the smell the rich pine wood. She felt emotions, not only anger, hate, and fear, but also gratefulness, love, and passion, however... she could not attribute the feelings to clear memories of any kind. The only memories that she had that were not hazy, were the ones given to her by Nathrangking. I am their commander. I am in control. She thought. This is my home. What is right? What should I do?

Fox stood, her voice soft. "I... I think I know what I need to do." Leaving the sword on the log, she walked over to Nath, knelt down, and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "My heart does not tell me to trust you yet, but it does tell me to help you. There are things going on that I do not understand. My memories still tell me that I should hate you, and that you killed my brother, however you say you have not, and my heart tells me to believe you. I... I should not have hurt you. I... am sorry." The regret of her actions slammed into Fox like a scoop of ice-cream's impact on the sidewalk. A tear slipped out of Fox's eye. "Please forgive me, Nath." She tried to bring him into a hug.

If you need more detail you can ask.

Ooh, I like that idea! Having her be mistaken for a monster. Tell me more about these hunters.

My tears fall freely now as her emotions are set free. I swallow the razors that cut at me. Gingerly I pull Fox into my embrace."I forgive you with all of my soul. You did what you had to. I will heal in time. What matters most is that you are no longer alone in your pain." Nothing but love and care fill my voice as I speak. I seek to soothe the storm tossed seas and hold back the shattering of worlds. I hold her as tightly as I dare. The dulling of the pain compounds the longer that I shoulder a part of her burden. I let out an involuntary shudder as the exhaustion sets in. My every cell screams as a strange sort of fatigue takes hold. No words come to me. Every thought is lead sinking in the ocean. I sag and my eyes flutter closed. With a surge of will I wake and my blood becomes an ocean of solid ice. I feel different and I gasp as I realize why. She actually did it! She dared defy the council. When I get my hands on her... "Now I too know what you felt Fox. I am mortal." My waves of love do not cease, but beneath terror grips me in a vise. I look at Fox and hold her tighter still.

"Of course," Jhaug said smiling "This way." Jhaug walked to the back a room seeming to make itself.

Jhaug grabbed a pendent and a glide from the wall, and handed them to the one who asked the question. "Put the glider on like this," Jhaug said demonstrating, "and push wind into the wings from below, that will get you in the air." Jhaug jumped off the side of the walkway into the large room below before lifting back up to be level with the customers.

"After that, adjust the wind to be slightly ahead of you, you'll go forward that way, don't go to fast at first."

Fox breathed lightly in as she felt some of the pain being lifted. Was this Nath's doing? How could he shape her emotions like they were mud on a riverbank? She pulled back from the hug, and looked at Nath. Although the pulses of warmth emanating from did not cease, she saw something tinging his eyes that was lacking during the time that she was beating him. Fear. He was not looking very well. He looked in pain. She attempted to lay him down so that she could examine his ribs. "What do you mean you are mortal?" She asked.

Well, in general the hunters are trying to defend their towns and cities. They usually have futuristic weapons and superpowers that work like...  Here, how about I do it?

I release Fox from my embrace as I feel her pull away. I can sense the emotions rushing even as I struggle with my pain. There is little strength remaining in my body as I allow Fox to lie me down. I grimace. All pretense of hiding my agony is gone. It is though a raging storm of raw burning flesh has washed away my strength. I have just enough to speak. When my voice comes out it is tinged with fatigue. "I can die now Fox. I have angered a dangerous being and she seems to have cursed me. She and her children likely combined their powers to strip me of immortality. I bleed as any mortal and I can be killed as any other being." It is impossible to keep the fear from my eyes. "It is not dying which I fear you know. I had long resigned myself to the possibility that a weapon that could kill me would be used against me. What I fear is failing you and the others." I cough my body writhing in indescribable torture. Everybreath makes me long to be taken into blissful sleep.

 

Circestran tenses. All of the agony that Nathrangking is feeling strikes all at once. She can feel his very being wither beneath a curse. She gasps as his soul begins to fray. His mortality begins to infect her being. Her strength begins to wane. Panic and rage combine within her. Chaos breaks loose. Vengeance grabs her heart and infects it with a poison which blinds her.  She will die, but first... All of her caution burns away. She makes a slapping motion with her hands. A wall of force smashes into Winter. She flies at him polearm raised. Wall after wall buffets Winter. A bolt of lightning strikes Circestran, but she ignores it. Wind stings her. She bellows a terrible cry which is lost in the storm and calls horrific beasts of shadow from the ground. They tear themselves from the fabric of the realm. As one they attack winter. Out the corner of her eye she sees the spells on the gate begin to fade. The moment that she sees it it is forgotten.

Fox breathed in slowly, and then out, as Nath writhed on the ground. She reached out and rested a hand on Nath's shoulder. "My brother always used to say that it did not matter what you did, as long as you did your best. I do not know of these others of whom you speak of, but it does not matter what happens as long as you tried." Fox paused. "I need to know the extent of... what I did to you. Does it hurt when you breathe in?"

I do my best to still my body. "This is wisdom. This time though I don't think that my best to help Fadran and the Fellowship." Rage fills me from another place. Circestran. My fear redoubles she releases the hidden one. Her rage forces me freeze for a moment as if all of the life has left me, but an empty shell. Be careful my love, your rage blinds you. I let out a violent cough. I take in a breath and shudder. "Yes breathing brings me pain."

"Does it hurt when I put pressure here?" Fox placed her hand on Nath's stomach, around the general place where she had kicked him. It felt tender. That was not good.

I am ~62% certain that Nath is a father figure for Fox. Also, Fox's instinct is still to hate him, but she kind of doesn't right now.... ? She barely trusts him, but is following her heart, or something. She still remembers him killing her brother, and trying to kill her.

Unclear at this time. Some chemistry exists, but I imagine it more as a father figure type of thing. Romance would be a bit weird in this context.

I cough and barely suppress a scream when Fox touches my stomach. My eyes roll back in my head as the agony transports me to another place and time. I see fields of dead. Broken bodies and souls litter the earth. I am standing above the carnage with Circestran. I turn to her, but my words are slaughtered in my throat. The destruction explodes before me. I return to myself and nod. Maintaining the bond I pour my last reserves of love and light into Fox. My eyes become unfocused as only pain exists for me. Somewhere I feel doors unlock, but I no longer care.

Fox removed her hand from Nath's stomach, and used it to grasped his hand. She could feel the love being poured into her by Nath. She could see the agony written all over his face. There were no words to describe how well she understood that pain, but she knew Nath understood. She could feel a water gathering in her eyes. No. She would be strong for Nath. Fox kept her voice confident. "Nath... I think I might have broken some of your ribs. It's likely that they punctured your lung, as well. We need to get you to someone who can take better care of you. For now, just focus on my voice, don't let yourself slip away. I'll figure something out."
