Ranryu

Ranryu crouched behind a library shelf. Dust and mildew filled the air. This was an old part of the library, the part nobody cared about any more. In her hands was a blue aluminum lighter. The fire it produced was a dim silvery grey, barely noticeable in the library's gloom. They can take my books. Ranryu thought. But they can't take my fire. All the books Ranryu loved went up in flames. She sat in the middle of the fire, watching Dune turn to ashes. The fire continued to spread throughout the library.

Again and again the strange noise rang out. "YUP. YUP. YUUUUPPPPP!!!" It seemed to be getting closer.

A sound echoed through every room of the clinic, deep and reverberating. "YUP."

Welcome! So glad you could be here!

Ranryu was rather annoyed by being so rudely knocked out, but she didn't raise a complaint. Better to creep away for now and strike when nobody expects it... Ranryu summoned herself back to her room, where she rubbed the bump on her head and began binge-watching Yugioh anime.

"Emma?" Ranryu called out. "Where did you go? Are we done training?"

Ranryu sends a torrential torrent to snuff out all fire on the field. "Does it smell like Christmas trees to anyone else?" She sniffs the air with a trace of confusion on her face.

"What the storms is going on?" Giant Kaladin exclaimed as he disappeared into the pit. Kaladin's destruction activated his special ability. All magical objects/beings on the field caught fire. Ranryu winked at Random Fellow. "You're welcome!"

The dragon exploded, being sustained solely by Ranryu's power. Ranryu thought for a moment, then drew a card. "Yes yes yes!!!" She summoned level 13 Kaladin Stormblessed to the field. He was giant, and also self-aware.

Ranryu (the person), remained unaffected by the stone wave, because she was flying on Ranryu (the dragon). She threw down a kuriboh, then set a trap underneath it.

Luckily for Ranryu, her dragon was a storm dragon, so it was able to redirect the lightning back at Emma.

Ranryu responded by summoning herself, the Ranryu Dragon. She threw the card onto the field, and it exploded into a medium pony-sized monster. She jumped on the dragon version of herself and took to the air. "Wow. This is a lot more fun than I expected it to be!"

I really need to find out how to teleport, Ranryu thought in annoyance. Everyone else here is so much more powerful than me. She smacked herself, coming to a realization. She activated the spell card Teleport and skipped over to the training area.

"Of course! But won't other people get annoyed when I beat you and send them all to the shadow realm?"

"Cool! I love destroying property!" Before the others could tell if she was joking or not, she ran off to explore her newfound power.

Ranryu grinned childishly. "Excellent! Now I can get rid of those pesky chickens once and for all!"

Ranryu really had no idea what was going on with the other people in the clinic, but she was struggling to make her deck. She wandered over to Emma. "Is black hole a good card? I know it's super powerful, but it also destroys the universe, and I think Calano would get mad if I wrecked the clinic. And these dragon cards? Are they too big to summon indoors? Do you think I could convince them to shrink, or would they just phase through the walls?

Ranryu looked up from her fifteenth rereading of Words of Radiance. "Excellent." she said. "These rare cards are exactly what I need." She crept away ominously to prepare her deck.

Ranryu, who still hadn't figured out how to use her powers, wandered off to finish the last chapter of Evershore.

Ranryu stared at the Cellist and edged away pointedly. "Isn't he like, gonna get in trouble for trapping me in a pit for a week?"

"I thought it was Wizard." Ranryu rubbed her chin. "It really sounded like him. But if he's dead then who was it?"

Ranryu paled. "Wait! Wizard is dead!?! But he was just here a few hours ago. I heard him arguing with someone while I was stuck in the pit!"

Ranryu grinned and threw down a rope that had been lying on the ground next to the pit. "Bookwyrm? You're here! And you have bad luck?" Wait. She wondered. How do I know him again?

Ranryu frowned, her face thoughtful. "I'm not really sure. I was somewhere else, and then I was here, you know? The Wizard was kind of like 'come over here, it's fun and you can read a lot of books and stuff', so I came." She backed a safe distance away from the hole as she said this.

"I was just walking around reading, when this weird guy with a cello appeared and pushed me in. I think his name was .... @That1Cellist? Anyway, he laughed maniacally and ran away." Ranryu proceeded to rip Little House on the Prairie to shreds.
