Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emily looked around at the sound of the fairy's voice.

The fairy turned to Ashe, nodding furiously. "Exactly! If you engrave something beautiful, or something that has meaning to you personally, it will take those often hidden emotions and use them to concentrate your spiritual energies, thus amplifying your powers. Actually, I'm amazed someone like her came upon it so naturally...", she finished slyly, looking to Emily, who continued to search for the body of the voice. She looked at Ashe and pointed happily to herself, adding, " Just so you know, my name is Afrithic! Call me Fric, though--What's your name?!"

" My names Emily! Unless you where talking to this guy..."

Tai quickly stood up and leaped after the two, the deep growling noise rising from his throat grew slightly louder.

Ashe smiles and bows slightly to the two of them. "Its nice to meet you Fric and Emily. But it might be a good idea to start looking for somewhere safe, i highly doubt that that shadowy thing from before stopped following you... and i still need to bandage your arm a bit better. Perhaps we can find a closed down school or hospital... there must be some bandages left behind... if not i should have some left in my... for lack of a better word 'home'."

He reaches out a hand to help Emily back to her feet as he looks curiously at Fric. "I believe... Emily can't really see you. And i'm pretty sure most wouldn't be able to see you. Perhaps if you can douse that light and check ahead of us a bit.. i doubt that thing spitting arrows at you two like that was at all friendly." On a little side note in the back of his mind he made a mental note to think of something to engrave into his own stone when he had gotten these two somewhere safe.

Moonsilver and Mizuki waited and waited, but he never came. They sighed in relief, and walked out of the alleyway. They walked down the street as causally and as carefully as possible, going far away from the spot where they had met him, and away from the alleyway.

Ashe watched as the little scene unfolded, simply nodding every few seconds to let Fric know that he had heard her, and understood everything she had said. "Goodbye then, safe journey on the way back..." His initial plan of using her help was ruined... but he still had to get help for Emily, before her arm got infected or anything.

It was a little emotional, watching her leave like that. Honestly he wished she would be able to stay, not only to assist them but simply because it would have prevented that emotional scene. He looks at Emily, a little concerned. "We should get going now... to find a place to treat your arm. We'll go right to my living quarters, i don't mind using my bandages anylonger. Its better than wandering around, and we can find other things to use later."

He doesn't try to take her hand agian, but just takes a few steps towards the road. "We have to help eachother, like she said... so stay close to me okay?" He glances back at her again. "And i'd like to appologize in advance... if i must run us away again i may have to grab you roughly." And with that he set off into the street, running off towards a thin alleyway, completely covered and safe from the rain. But it was a few blocks away, this was where his bandages and whatever he had been living with was kept.

"Hmm, left. No! Right!"Robin giggled, swaying back and forth between two apples. The wind kept telling her that there as a diffrence. But she couldn't tell what. "Well, since you won't tell me.." She bit into the right apple and smiled as the taste flooded over her tongue. It was sweet, almost unnaturally sweet, and it make her head feel just a bit...
*Whoompf*(The sound of her hitting the floor.) "Ooooow." Her head was in agony. Splitting, separating, becoming. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" It felt like her brain was breaking apart. And in a sense it was. Except, it might not be bad. In fact, "Woah, what was that?" Her eyes opened again, but they were different now. Gentlyer, kinder, more innocent. It was as if she was the embodiment of all the good that was left inside of her. (So yeah, here we have where Robin's psyche breaks into two people. And, no duh, she's nice right now. But I haven't quite decided what to do with her yet...)

Emily jogged up to him, staying right behind him. Even though she'd barelyrun at all, she was panting--~I-I'm no good at this...~, she though, sadly.
Emily opened her mouth to say something, then stopped. She looked to the sky, which was dark and an ugly grey. After a moment, she turned to him and said, " I-It seems...It wasn't really anything I did...It was like this--
I had three different dreams. In each one, I was using a different method to carve the rose into my stone. When I had the final dream, a voice came to me and said, 'You have seen three ways. Only one is right. Now, choose which is right, or perish in your fright.' It was really weird...Anyway, I thought about it for a long time. Once I finally came up with an answer, I addressed the voice and shouted my answer. And that was it. Apparently, I guessed right, cause the next day, the rose was on my stone." Emily sighed and smiled. "And that's how it went~!"
