Life Shards: The Recollections

[Babydoll Animis]

"Please... keep them safe... they are in danger..." a voice cried out faintly, a small wolf child looked out through the clouds as if he could see something beyond them. He hod that this time they could hear him. Maybe he was wrong. He held his hands together and bowed his head as if to pray, a small light start to shimmer in his clutch. "Please.... keep them safe no matter what!" He then disappeared.

Jacob sat up with a jolt, his alarm clock blaring in his ear. After shaking off the sleepiness he turned off the alarm and looked at his arm. His steel forearm bracer was still there, along with the strange purple gem in the middle. It hadent left his arm since it was handed down to him, "To important to be lost or forgot. " he had been told. The fox wondered if he still had fur under there. He got out of bed and got dressed, rolling the hoodie sleeve over his arm before stepping out into the cool Denver air.

I stand in front of a world map on my wall in a dark room looking at pictures of the people who hold the shards that I need, "God damn it, how the hell am I supposed to do this!" I say smashing my fist to the wall. I pick up my phone and start punching numbers into it, it goes to voicemail and I wait for it to beep before talking calmly into it. "Hey Sotharc, I need some help, uh come armed." I end the call and toss the phone onto the floor, then running my hand down my face. I pull a knife out and stab it into Jackob's photo "you're first"

[Tim Siguire]

picking up the phone and listening to the message, Sotharc calmy walks out of his doored garage and begins walking down the street on his toes like a Raptor.
''Help? hehehehehe, that's interesting... who are we hunting? Let them be worthy of it! Ghahahaha.. feel salvation!''
The rune tattoo burned in, etching itself into Sotharc's face, then the tattoo fades, leaving the shape of the rune.

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

Kiniia was sat on a stool, staring into her coffee, watching the bubbles pop individually. the small tendrils of vapour rising out from the recycled cardboard cup. They were in a small coffee shop. Rain was lashing down outside the windows, Kiniia was not alone, her friend Jade was sat across the table from her, bright red hair to contrast her dark brown and black fur, she was a doberman, she was sat looking at Kiniia expectantly.
"Hello? Helloo? Earth to Kii, come in? is anybody home?"
a light touch on her shoulder made Kiniia jump
"Oh gosh! Sorry! I had the strangest dream just now.."
Kiniia's friend looked at her quizzically.
"You were awake though. Are you sure you're okay?"
Kiniia nodded and rubbed her eyes, smudging her make-up a little
"Yeah, yeah im fine, just a long first day i guess. Who knew teaching children how to play piano was so taxing?" She gave a small smile to her friend to reassure her, who still didn't look convinced. "Honestly Jade! I'm fine"


Jade raised her eyebrow, then gave in and drained her coffee as her phone rang, checking it, she sighed
"Oh, it Eric. I should take this, are we still on for tonight?"
Kiniia smiled and nodded as Jade answered the phone and waved goodbye to her.


Once she was sure she was out of sight, she rubbed her forehead "what the hell was that?" she thought to herself, taking a drink from her now lukewarm coffee. She checked her ring, the only piece of Jewellry she wore. "This? its a relic. I have no idea what it even is...maybe i should take precautions." She grabbed her big jacket and wrapped it around her as she finished her coffee and prepared to step out in to the wet and windy city of London to get home.

Jacob couldnt quite place it, but today seemed... off. Things were happening in the city like they usually do, but he couldnt shake the feeling something bad was going to happen. He walked into a city park and sat down on a bench, looking up at the Denver skyline.

Aakor was in the middle of a dirt bike track day type thing when he lost concentration and was sent hurtling over the handle bars as he landed a jump and into the dirt with a loud thud. Seconds later his bike crashed into his chest side ways knocking him unconscious.

[Khaki-Shepherd]

Nathan Wilson left his small apartment in the city and walked onto the street. He was tired and hungry but breakfast would have to wait, he needed money first.

Nathan hated robbing in daylight but he was behind in his rent and getting a job was out of the question with his lengthy criminal record. And so he began walking down the street searching for a target, checking his revolver and switchblade in his jacket pocket.

'Perfect' Nathan said as he noticed a dark grey fox seated a park bench in front of him. Wilson approached the figure and sat down calmly next to him on the bench.

Nathan leaned over and without warning he pulled out his gun and pressed it against the fox's side
"Listen here mate, don't be a hero..." he growled "...Just hand over your money and your jewellery and no one gets hurt"

Leon was somewhere in Mexico, working a contract. He was to kill a VIP for the mexican army, all unofficial-like. So he and his team were moving in on this bastard's house, a small, clay hut. He and his men stacked up behind the door, an Leon was getting ready to kick it down.

[Jacob Hail]

A shiver went down Jacobs back as the gun pressed into his side. Sometimes he hated when he was right.  "Y-yeah, no problem." He said, pulling his sleeve further down his arm to further cover up his gem. "Just take it easy, im going to get my wallet." He showed his left hand before slowly slippong it into his pocket, gripping around the handle of his .45. But beforw he pulled, he looked over and saw the thiefs necklace. With a gem just like his. "Wait a second. Where did you get that?"

[Tim Siguire]

Puliing out my phon, I call Ben (Câü). *Ring... Ring... Boop* Ah, Where are you? Im walking everywhere looking for this street!
Just then someone walking by bumped into Sotharc. ''Hey! Watch were You're going!''
...Grr, next time I won't be so quiet.


Sotharc stood and waited for his answer patiently as he was in a good mood.
His tail swishing silently and gently as the warm wind blew through his fur.

[Fenox Helkiin]

A news report comes on detailing akkor's accident and that he was in a critical condition in a British hospital, located in Oxford.

[Ryan Naismith]

"3..." Leon whispered, counting out the numbers on his hands "2..." He readied his foot to kick down the door. But he was interrupted by a loud bang that deafened him. He looked down, and there was a neat hole through the center of his chest, thing pierced right through his plates. "Oh...f*ck." was the last thing he said before falling to the floor, unconscious.

[Babydoll Animis]

"N-No! Save them!" The wolf child pleaded as he thrust forth a paw sending small wisps of light out, Leon's and Akkor's shards had began to glow. His form had appeared in front of the two injured ones. The other shards had began to fully activate and glow as well.

[Fenox Helkiin]

Aakor drifted in and out of consciousness as his damaged brain tried to pull itself back together.
