Magical Fate

[Shadis]

*Unconvinced, Shadis stabbed his sword in the crack of the door and pryed it open without damaging it. He scanned the interior but found nothing out of the ordinary. He checked the pulse of the sleeping Naer and found him to be perfectly healthy. He frowned as he exited the room, closing the door behind him.* "Wierd. Could have sworn something was up. Maybe it was just my imagination I guess." *He wandered over to the group.* "No signs of... of... uhh, Danny, what the hell were those things?"

[Aldrea945]

Danny smiled at them.  They were more resiliant than she gave them credit for.  "Shadow beings.  You should all go rest.  Tomorrow's the first day of training, and knowing Master Xing, he'll be extremely hard on you all."  Her shoulders sagged and for a fleeting moment uncertain fear crossed her features.  It was gone in a moment, hardly recognizable.  "I need to patrol the west Wing.  Thank you though."

[Shadis]

*Shadis frowned.* "But WHY were they attacking you? They have no reason to do so! Do they?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Craf shrugged. "Sure you don't need any help?" he said. "I'm still kinda restless."

[Aldrea945]

She nodded to Craf but paused at Shadis's question.  "I'm not the target.  The temple is.  It's unknown to us why they attack too though.  Whoever behind it has kept herself hidden."

[Cifero Windtail]

Craf bowed in understanding and started to walk away, but then stopped and came back, kneeling down next to Elizabeth. "Come, young one," he said. "We are not needed here at the time."

[Shadis]

*I frown* "Well, let's figure this thing out then.. but in the morning. I need to sleep and heal these wounds." *I yawn* "Good night" *I then return to the room. Closin gand locking my door, I make sure what little poessions I had were attached to me as I slept, and I kept the sword nearby should anythign else happen. I go to sleep on the bed.*

[Kaya]

"Her self? w-what makes you think it is a girl?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Craf gently laid a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder. "You can ask her tomorrow," he said. "I think she's busy right now."

 Naer woke up shortly after everyone was gone from his door. He listened and checked to see if anyone was near the door, then took out the gift he hoped he had received from his fiery maiden. He dangled the charm in front of his face, then during his transition to the meditative state he breathed deeply onto the charm. What came next was a surprise to him, as the lantern now had a fire of its own.

Staring into the fire, the room fell away to a large dome with a massive blaze in the center. He put the charm away, and surveyed his surroundings with visible awe and joy as the flame within him resonated with the dome's blaze. He was then disrupted from his reverie as a soft yet unforgettable voice rang through his ears.

"I am glad you've accepted my gift, holder of my soul. Do not worry, your body has not been removed from the temple. I will arrive in the moment, though we cannot touch until tomorrow." Naer smirked. "You give me your image, yet I am forbidden to touch? You are a terrible tease, maiden of fire." She only replied with a sultry laughter...

[Cifero Windtail]

A knock came on Naer's door. "Is everything alright in there?" Craf asked through the door.

[Shadis]

[Can we skip to morning? Nothing left for me to do untill then.]

[Aldrea945]

(Yeah.)
 
Light filtered through the windows in Danny's room, making her groan and pull the covers up.  She'd only just gotten to sleep, having spent most of the night searching the compound.  She quietly wished the sun would just go down again and let her sleep...
 
Regardless of her wishes, she got to her feet, stumbling into her clothes ad washing up.  She walked bleary eyed to the hall.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Naer was not graced with the full image of the maiden, mostly because she stood in front of the blaze, giving him only a general outline as they spoke. He couldn't recall all that they spoke, but it felt like he had just told her his life's story. She then rewarded him by 'strengthening the connection', and he was forced into consciousness just as a stream of fire left his mouth. He was still in his previous sitting position, apparently having meditated throughout the entire night and into the day.

He let out a yawn as he stood up and gently walked out of his room, pushing the door open and leaving a scorch mark where his hand had touched it. When he spotted Danny, he almost skipped towards her, a very large grin upon his face. "So, Danny... were you the one that asked to have me show you how to get in touch with your power?"

[Shadis]

*Morning arouse, which found Shadis sprawled out on the floor. His dreams had not been restful. He had not seen this much action in quite some time, and had mixed feeling about it. eaither way. He collected his few belongings, took a few moments to admire his shadow sword, washed up abit in his sink basin, and then exited his room, seeing Danny and Naer not far away. He casually approached the,* "Good morning. Everyone sleep okay?
