The Wandering Wizard

The delver seemed stunned by what this little pinprick of noise was doing. Didn't it know it was loud and needed to be extinguished? The delver leaned in towards her.

The creature easily kept pace with the sharp turns of the ship. It seemed almost alive in how it moved, and it seemed to have a sixth sense for where the ship was going to go. GMHQ Medea grew tired of their games. Part of her wished she had been made as her sister, to feast on the foolish humans. Afterall they were just meant to die to those which evolved to prey on them. Yet they were resourceful, so she stayed loyal to her mother for now. But now, now was some time to have some fun. She pressed down on the largest button, the kind you only pressed if you wanted to kill something. She smiled, a cruel thing with fangs bared in pleasure at the suffering she was going to cause. Suddenly her image appeared in front of all the tributes. "Oooooooh tributess! I think it'ss time we had ssome fun." The image of the mechanical tiger popped up next to her. "Thiss is one of my mother's darling babiess. And we've just upgraded them." Suddenly the tiger's eyes began glowing a brilliant bright white. "Or more accurately, we've let our little delver friendsss upgrade them. Ssso have fun with our cytonic blood hound tigerssss. Toodle doo!" The image winked out and Medea's grin grew and she hissed to herself. "Well well well, sssoon it will be over. And all their little gamess will be done. Sssoon the plan will work, ssoon." @Ookla the Lotus @Ookla the Believer @Ookla the Prehistoric @Ookla the Pastry

Lilyana impulsively reached down and grasped Aster's hand, blushing furiously. "Y-yeah let's go check there."

"Together we'll find out what happened," smiled Lilyana at Aster.

"No...I was just crying alone and then everything was on fire."

She pulls Aster into a hug. "Really I am glad to have you as the wonderful friend you are."

Lilyana gasped and then smiled at Aster. She waved her hand and the fires all puttered out. "Wow I didn't know...you're amazing Aster." @Ookla the Believer

Lilyana grasped Aster's hand and blushed. But it wasn't bad, it helped the coldness that had been forming in her thaw slightly. "Okay now what?"

"What do you think I'm trying to do with all this ice?" She groaned and some of her teeth began to curve into fangs. "I...can't keep...this...up...much longer."

"Can you help me fight these flames?"

"Can...you get out...then? I'll..be..right behind..you," she says, the words strained and strangely lilted.

Lilyaba looked at her for a moment without comprehending. Then the light of recognition dawned. "Aster?"

She barely nodded her head, all her focus on stopping the flames. Grimacing she forced her hands open wider and beams of solid ice blasted from them. Phantom wings appeared on her back and her skin started turning into icy plated scales. @Ookla the Resolute

She found Lilyana still fighting to keep the flames back, to let just one more person escape. Her eyes flickering a brilliant blue and snowflakes were crystalizing around her.

Lilyana let her ice grow, let it flow over the flames. Trapping them in everlasting ice. At least she hoped it would last. "Everyone out! I don't know how long this will last." @Ookla the Believer
