:[ PRP ]: Gemstones and Spiders

[[chainedfaye]]

Amethyst was out on the beach by the shores of the lake. The rain didn't bother her, in fact she rather liked it. The storm had chased all the other Pae'il into the safety of their various shelters, leaving her blissfully alone. The solitude enveloped her, leaving her free to think about nothing in particular.

At the moment she was amusing herself by lying on the beach and alternatively turning parts of herself into gemstone, hearing the rain bounce off of her with little plinks. The game was quickly starting to get boring though and she beginning to wonder what she should play next.

Raziel had wandered from the camp to try to find a bit of fire wood to keep dry for burning later. Koorie was back at camp with the other three Pae children, trying to keep them dry. Ever since a few weeks ago, Raziel had found himself liking the feel of water and being pulled to it, and he loved the rain. Seeing a familiar form sitting on the beach, he called out, a little unsure. "...Ame?"  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame was distracted from her gain by the sound of another voice, in particular, another voice calling her name. Well there went her solitude. Who in the world would be outside on a day like this? She sat up and looked about her, searching for the source of the voice and spotted a blue blob some distance away. She squinted against the rain - could it be? There would only be one blue blob that could possibly know her name.

"Raz?"

 

[Kira of Flames]

Instantly Raziel's face lit up with a bright smile. "You grew into a child like me!" He was walking over to her when he tripped and fell face first into the mud, non to gracefully for him. Frowning and looking away, he attempted to get up, a little embrassed.  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame grinned back as well, happy to see her only friend again. Hmm, so he was a child as well now. She wondered if he had gotten a power like she had. Laughing when he fell she pulled herself up and started to walk over to the boy. She had just about reached him however when her left leg suddenly turned into the hardened heavy material of a gemstone and she sank down into the wet, muddy sand. She cursed. Stupid power. She still didn't have complete control over it, though she was getting better since she practiced all the time. But for her to be weak in front of Raziel, well that was simply not acceptable! She glared at him, almost as if this whole thing was his fault.

 

[Kira of Flames]

Raziel, seeing Ame sink down a bit, started to laugh. He then felt her glare on him and frowned. He hadn't done anything wrong, why was she upset at him?

Using his wings, he lifted himself out of the mud. He flapped his wings to a hover a few inches off the ground before landing on a patch of grass. He then reached over for Ame's hand to help her from the mud. He had a feeling she probably wouldn't take it.  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame struggled for a few moments trying to unsink herself. She regarded his outstretched hand coldly, before finally reaching out to grab it pulling on it to lift herself up and out of the hole. She stared at her leg in dismay. This had happened before, a various body part turned into a gemstone at random and seemingly stayed that way until it decided otherwise. Who knew how long this was going to last? Her face turned red with embarrassment as she mumbled a "Thank you."

 

[Kira of Flames]

Raziel, slightly surprised by Ame having taken his hand, nodded. "No problem.... So why did you sink?" He was curious to it, since she had been standing fine, and then suddenly she was almost knee deep in mud. He didn't think there was a mud hole there, but maybe he was wrong.  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame's embarrassment only increased at his question. How pathetic she couldn't even control her own power. "My leg" she mumbled again, moving it forward slightly so he could see it, though he'd better not tease her about it or he'd be sorry! It was very heavy and awkward to move, her small form not yet able to handle the added weight. Once she was a bit older though perhaps... She knocked on the hardened limb , almost as if testing to see if it had gone back to normal yet.

A thought sprang up her mind. If she had sunk because of her power perhaps he had fallen because of his. Though she always though he was a bit clumsy. But still, it was a possibility. "How come you fell?" she demanded, looking his over with curiosity.

 

[Kira of Flames]

Raziel stared in aw at Ame's leg, seeing that it was hard. "Ame....you have super powers too?"

He then blushed brightly at Ame's question and looked to the side, mumbling his reply. "I didn't see the tree root...." He was totally embarrassed, falling over a tree root like that, splatting into the mud.  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame just nodded as she stood there lamely, unable to really move yet. Wait..too? She had super powers too? Completely ignoring his response to her earlier question, she demanded a new answer. "Does that mean you have super powers??"

 

[Kira of Flames]

Raziel, relieved that Ame was ignoring his lame excuse for tripping, nodded. "Yeah, it's really weird though...." He fell silent, not knowing how to explain that sometimes, on very rare occasions, he'd find himself walking on top of the water in puddles.  

[[chainedfaye]]

"What? Tell me!" she demanded yet again as she stomped her non-gemified foot in agitation. Patience wasn't something she had learned in their time apart. Her leg started tingling a bit and she looked down in relief. Finally. About time it started to go back to normal.

 

[Kira of Flames]

Raziel snorted. "I can't..... I don't know what it is, but it's just really strange. Lately I've been dreaming about water, and not the type of dreams when you wake up and have to go to the potty...." He didn't like how Ame was demanding so much from him, however, and he suddenly smirked to himself. Maybe as she was demanding things, he'd give her less and less explaining answerers....  

[[chainedfaye]]

Ame scowled at him. That was a super power. Dreaming about water?? That was lame. "That can't be it. There has to be more than just dreaming about water! What else, tell me! " She had to make sure her power was better than his. So far it was but she had a feeling he was holding back from her. But why would he do that? Unless it was so super cool he didn't want anybody to know. Or even lamer than dreaming about water...but how much lamer could you get than that?
