Oh, it already was! X's avatar/Melody's story is canon to TLT, which is canon to CBST, which is where the idea of withergeists came from in the first place.

Wow, really? Huh, that's awesome!

Improvised Encounter time!!

Y dropped from a nearby rooftop in a flurry of wind, twin blades glittering in the sunlight.

"Hello, Q," she said neutrally. "Long time, no see, eh?"

Q hissed, raising her blades in a defensive stance. She glared at the newcomer, hostility flaring in her eyes. "You've always been the flashy one," Q said dryly. "What do you want?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Well," said Y, glancing over the edge, "I was looking for the magician. Looks like you got here first."

"In all fairness," she said, sharpness appearing in her voice as she watched Y with a trained eye. "The boy said that he got here before us and killed him. I'm not... responsible this time."

Y tsked. "Pity. I would have enjoyed killing you."

She flicked one of her blades at the heart of the boy.

Q growled, shifting in her stance. She studied Y carefully, but didn't do anything as she held her stance. "You can try, but no one has ever succeeded as you can see," she spat. "And don't you think that I've tried that myself?"

"I... I don't think it's that powerful," said Gerald, somewhat shaken. A dream crystal? he thought to himself. What...? How?

A voice made a soft sound almost like a laugh.

"Nice trinket you've got there," said Y.

@Mystic Syn, this is the character I was referring to on your status update.

The boy buried his face in his hands. “None of us are worthy of the power...”

A knife took him in the chest. He stumbled back, looking at the blood dribbling down his shirt.

Ellis's eyes shot up.

"Evil is here." He said, almost as if in a trance. He began running for the wizard's tower.

"You don't have mordite blades," remarked Y, throwing her second to finish the boy off.

"Wait, Ellis!" Melody ran after him, lugging the sword. "What is it?"

"No!!" Q yelled, her sapphire eyes starting to bleed black smoke. She quickly sheathing one of her knives and thrusting her free hand out. Out of her fingertips came dark ribbons of pure energy, zipping towards the girl.

Wind whirled in a whirlwind around Y's hand, deflecting the ribbons to the side.

One of her blades reappeared in her hand and she threw it at Q in retaliation.

Q growled, sheathing her other knife while reaching out to her right side, hand splayed out. In the blink of an eye, a long silvery, one-edged sword dropped into her hand. The black smoke started to envelop her eyes, making the sapphire almost disappear completely.

She raised her blade, deflecting the knife with a clink. Q snarled and dashed over to meet her opponent. Her blade flashed in the dimming light as she raised it to either strike or defend, no one could tell for sure.

Y recalled both blades, taking a step back on the wind and using her daggers to deflect Q's blade.

Q growled yet again, yet smirked as she took a step back. "You've gotten sloppy," she said, falling into an aggressive stance.

She placed one foot in front of the other in an L-position, her blade in front of her. She held the blade with one hand; although, it looked like it would've been too heavy for her. Instead of moving in, she waited for her opponent's next move.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Y only raised an eyebrow. Her mouth quirked up slightly.

"Sloppy?" she said lightly.

Slowly, she raised her blades... then, with a quick flick, threw them in sequence. Wind swirled around her blades, making them that much faster as they flew towards Q's arms.

Q smirked slightly. She let out a breath, then looked back up. Her eyes had turned to a pure black as she moved with inhuman speed. Maybe one or two blades actually nicked and perhaps created large gashes in her arms, but she didn't look like she cared. A calm expression had replaced her smirk. Her eyes continued to bleed black smoke as she carefully watched Y.

"Is that all you got?" she asked, blood streaming down her arms. "I'll take all your hits."

This is Q. She is not concerned over things like this. >.>
