Life Shards: The Recollections

[Night Wolf]

Taya finally stood up, getting shakily to her pawed feet. "Get away from him!" she yelled as she suddenly opened fire apon Sotharc. "He can't choose our path!"

[Saphira/Sephir Wolfdragon]

"Oh thank god you're alright then!" Saphira said and kissed his forehead. "You had me so worried there!" She kissed his forehead again "I'm sure you can fight it little one, just do your very best!".

"If he's alright we have to keep moving" Sephir said and started moving forward again.

"Yes" Saphira simply replied and followed him, she never took her eyes off of Vital.

[Fenox Helkiin]

Aakor was still out cold but in a dream state. This made it easier for the grim reaper and vital to contact him or toy with him.

"Oh s**t!" He yelp in his dream as he was being chased by something that was only moving through the shadows. "VITAL! Help!" Aakor shouted at the top of his lungs.

[Babydoll Animis]

Vital closed his eyes and went into stasis... although it only looked as if he fell asleep.
He travelled quickly and appeared before Aakor and took his hand, "im here"

[Tim Siguire]

Sotharc took a bullet from Taya's frenzy and rolled to the side of Taya's arm and pushing it upwards.

You're freaking lucky I have armor on... *he gritted his teeth as he wrestled against Taya's arm*
AND... *his one eye dilates and stares into Taya* lucky that I don't have my knives.

Twisting her arm and kneeing the muscle controlling her grip, twice for good measure.

I have MY path, he isn't involved....

Sotharc flipped his hair and his eye returned to normal.
Please get a grip and stay away from him if you're that scared.
Besides, i'd hate to see you get hurt already. *a sly smile spread over Sotharc's face with a quick giggle*

[Night Wolf]

Taya looked at Sotharc, staring at him with terror in her eyes. "That path will kill us all!"

[Fenox Helkiin]

"Vital..." Aakor collapsed to the floor in his dream after his legs gave way. "...I don't want to become..." He looked back at the rapidly approaching figure and pointed at it. "...I don't want to become that. Please help me. I don't know what to do!" He added as his voice began to tremble in fear of what he might become.

[Tim Siguire]

What do you want me to do? Im not good at talking! I was shoved into an Asylum because I knew my police team would die soon.
I just ended up killing like.. half the force, the other half died from the job or disease, like I predicted.
Look, I see Death.. when I look hard enough, I can see it's grimy bones following behind innocent souls.


It watches me, but I hold strong, ignoring it's voice... until my last breath.
I saw a cold hurting killer in your pretty eyes.. and now you're scared, because you see It's Right Hand!
But back to my earlier point, he has to fight... or succumb. You and me though, we can do our own business.
There are still more targets out there... unless you feel a change of heart?


Sotharc lets go of Taya and quickly walks to Aakor's body.
Aakor.. if you can hear me! Choose for yourself! You can wield power and still be yourself! Or just wield the power and protect yourself!! Choose Aakor! Fight for it!!


Sotharc ran back to Taya waiting for her to respond in any way.

[Night Wolf]

Taya sighed at the lecture and finally spoke her mind.

"There is an old legend that sings it's tale, of life and death trapped in gems.

One will choose infront of two others, and he alone will seal our fates.
He will steal your zeal, save your soul and heal the world, or ha will fall to the darkness within and we will succumb to his fury and sin..." Taya stopped suddenly with a quivering lip. "And a young wolven rogue will slay another important soul, sending her to damnation...

I'm scared it's all true, and the rogue is me..."

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob walked along the street, peering up at the sun as it peeked through the skyscrapers. He stopped outside a cafe and sat down at a table, pulling up his sleeve to look at the gem. "Hey Vital, can you hear me? I eh want to talk to you." He wasnt sure how to summon the young wolf, but watched the gem and waited.

[Tim Siguire]

So this legend... it's true. Well that's bad for me.. I was simply looking for the gems, to rid this... insanity, from my mind.
If that's the case, then we should help him. just follow me and don't let go of my paw. I just need to touch that crystal.


Sotharc motioned towards the warehouse, where Aakor's body lies.

[Night Wolf]

Taya silently nodded, holding Sotharc's paw like she was a child again.

[Tim Siguire]

Holding Taya's paw, Sotharc walked over to Aakor's body and attempted to make himself grab hold of the Life Shard.


just have to... to... touch it! Rrrrrgh, it's pushing me..
don't forget Taya, hold on tight, I will get inside of there...
Sotharc's body slowly started freezing and jerking as he forced himself nearer and nearer to the Shard.


It's power is amazing, BUT!!! *Grips onto the Shard* I HAVE IT!!!- RRAAAGHK!! NNHHRRR...
Loud cat yells and cries erupt from Sotharc as he snaps into insanity. His hair grows longer and has a dark aura.


*Becoming blind to the real world and only seeing the white world, Sotharc enters the crystal*
I... have it, *panting* Now Taya.. stay here.. I just swapped places with my sanity... we should both be in the crystal now.


There Taya, there's Aakor... *pointing at the body, a bit exhausted* ungh.. one second.

[Babydoll Animis]

Vital hugged Aakor and pressed his forehead against the wolfger's, "Aakor, you must listen carefully, listen to the trees, listen to the wind, life is all around you. Use its energy, listen to your own heartbeat now, feel your pulse as it pumps your blood. Concentrate Aakor... You have all you need... face it.... please fight... fight for life..." with a small burst of light Vital disappeared leaving a temporary barrier of light. "Aakor you are not weak... you are so strong... please... stay strong... stay safe... stay alive"


Vital then transferred to Jacob's shard, he flew out of the shard and landed on the ground a few feet away with a small yelp. He created a copy of himself, "Y-you needed me?" he groaned and rubbed his snout where he landed

[Jacob Hail]

Jacob stared for a moment, surprised that it worked. He went over and helped Vital up. "You ok?" The grayfox looked around, not sure if anybody else could see the wolf child. "Sorry, I didnt know that would happen if I called. But eh, I wanted to see if you coupd help me find the other shard holders."
