Channelknight Fadran

Ellis gripped his sword. "I'm only trying if you fight fair. Don't use that crystal--whatever it is it can do."

"No clue. Ask... literally anyone other than us." Fadran pushed himself into an upright position. "So color's back. But that barrier is still here. Did anyone see who put it up?"

"What if we stole it from you?"

"Nice. Thanks."

His sword flew upwards and deflected it with a clang. Ellis yelped at the same time--in a very manly fashion, of course.

"So..." Ivian's mom began. "What?" He asked. "Y'know... in a few days..." Ivian looked at her blankly. "What, do you need money?" "Honey, have you seriously forgotten?" After a moment of blank nonrecognition, Ivian shook his head. "Forgotten what?" "Your birthday!" He swore. "I was hoping you'd forget." "I'm your mother, honey. I'm physically incapable of forgetting." She crossed her arms. "So what are you going to do about it?" "Maybe get a drink? I don't care." Ivian turned around and returned to his papers. "I have bigger things to worry about than an arbitrary number tacked onto the word 'years.'" "I'm organizing a ball." His mother decided. "WHAT?"

Fadran blinked up at the sky and let out a long, gravely groan. "Ow."

"She knows that," Ellis muttered, forcefully pulling his hand away from his forehead. "But if she has it... I don't see how we can get it from her."

:0 Happy Shardiversary!

As far as I'm concerned they can't exactly see each other, right? Ellis forcefully let go of the hilt of his sword, leaving it inert in his scabbard. "Who are you?"

"What?"

He kept up the force, sweating and straining from the effort.

"And who are you?"

Ellis looked up. "Where are you?"

Channeling more Arcane power, Fadran blasted the energy of kinetics directly into the orb, seeking out any weaknesses to shatter.

"Phe--obe."

"We're approaching the sector walls," Alex replied, squinting as he peered out into the distance. "We've been to other sectors a few times, but... not enough to know the area. Once we pass the border, we're blind."

"Oh cool." Phenia tapped her fingers together awkwardly; it was a very methodical motion. "So, uhh... what's your name?"

Fadran swore; nicely. He jammed the sword in as far as he could.

"Not to be insensitive but is he ever alright?" Edit: "OH YIKES."

Calcifer shrugged. "A lot of people."

"A few streets down, maybe." Ellis panted. "They're hostile. They know we're here. Just... don't do anything stupid, okay?"

SHANK.
