Zorlan watched from afar as the two twin, Rikku and Baralai lit the fire with magic, it was a spectacular site. "Wonderful!!" Zorlan said his voice full of wonder and child glee. He reached the fire and liked how the flames sent off sparks, one landed on Zorlan, but it didn't hurt. "Magic?" He asked when he saw the soot, but no burn.

Riley's hands began to tingle. *Fire.* She thought. Somewhere near there was a fire going. It had just been lit. Riley ran until she could see the flames. When she spotted Zorlan, she started to walk up cautiously. "May I join you?" She asked nicely. Again, there was something about Zorlan that made her fingers burn. Thankfully, the flames from the fire seemed to calm her down. As carefully as she could, she made some of the fire dance but not so much where it was noticeable. Riley tried not to look at Zorlan. She had to remain calm. She just got here and was not looking for a reason to return home. Nothing could make her go back.

Zorlan tensed when he felt that odd presence again, he didn't have to turn to know who it was. Luckily he heard the lapping of the waves on the beach and it calmed him down. "Party join join." Zorlan said as cheerily as he could, other people were starting to gather around the fire which made Zorlan a lot more calm.
Some people brought fish and others brought drinks of all sorts, some fizzed others glowed. A little farther from the fire little kids were shooting off miniature fireworks into the air that didn't pop, but made odd noises like wind or chimes. Some people brought their wares to sell like blankets, ceramics, cloth, fishing gear, and other things. This was starting to become a real festival.

Ichinen was scarred immediantly, he wasn't keen to fire just like is master. Fire was an enemy of Tyronuse's species, they burned well when in their hive forms. This didn't frighten Tyronus thoguh, he was ready for fire. Ichinen on th other hand was jsut born a few hours ago, still fearing the mere color of fire. Tyronus's head emerged from the water, watching the flames on the beach. Ever slowly, he swam closer and closer to the shore. Behind him, he seemed to be dragging something large by the tail. This was hsi peace offering, a large deep water fish. A Shakrunan, a large carnivore of the island's deeper bodies of water. The idea Tyronus was even deep enoguh to see one would be amazing, but actaully killing one was differn't. In truth, he had infected several fish the creature ate, tearing up vital parts of the Shakrunan's body. This left the meat, the tastiest part of the fish untouched. Ichinen was in fear again, terror affcting his face.
"Why now? Why at all..."

"WHat is the matter?" Rikku asked rolling over to see Ichinen's scared face. "Do you not like fire?" Baralai asked, they would've gotten up and walked over to him had they had the strength yet, but for now they just laid on the beach.

"No...Fire and me may not get along, but soemthing else pus fear in my heart...But I cannot say what for fear of my life..."
Ichinen awaited his master's punishment for his disloyalty, but apparently it didn't strike Tyronus as disloyalty, but as the truth. He didn't mind at all of such disloyalty if it meant no harm. Tyronus finally broguht the huge fish onto the shore, making sure he h lifted the tail so no sands would taint it's meat. Tyronus threw the fish into the pile, it was halfthe pile's size in comparison. He seemingly went into the party, acting as if he was always there. Tyronus did get few odd stares from party guest's, he was quite the disgusting creature. He smelled just like Tyro, but he could hide most of that smell.

((Hey guys! I was just wondering if someone could keep me up to date with what's going on. *New member* Thanks biggrin ))
Lazarus woke up in his home in Utopia. The sun streamed in through the windows and illuminated the modest room. Yawning, he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He hadn't been able to get much sleep lately thanks to the news of disappearances within the city...
He got ready within 30 minutes and was out the door, waving good morning to his neighbors.

((So far practically all the character have traveled to Aquil because there is a festival going on over there. Odd men in black cloaks are showing up in Utopia and people in Utopia are disappearing. Um...I can't think of anything else really. Anyone want to add?))
A man was walking down the streets of Utopia he was nodding his head to those who passed by him and seemed to be getting along incredibly well. As soon as he passed Lazarus time seemed to slow down for a fraction of a second and the man's eyes coldly glare as Lazarus as they pass each other. Not even stopping in his pace he continues down the street.

"Who is that.." Rikku asked looking over to Tyronus. "He smells kind of like you, Ichinen." Baralai added, both him and his sister have sensitive noses.

((Hi everyone! I can't quite make out what time of day it is [it seems to have switched very suddenly from the middle of the night in Aquil to early morning in the centre of Utopia and back again] so I'm going to go ahead and go for the changing point - dawn. Oh, and a quick note - I haven't misspelled "colours" and "centre"... I'm English =3))
The few tiny stars that remained in the sky were flickering softly through the cold mist. A thin golden line trailed along the very edge of the horizon, and through the hazy sunlight, a small dot was approaching. Pippa didn't know how much longer she could carry on. Fatigue was slowly seeping through her body, but although she could feel her limbs begin to ache, she couldn't help marvelling at the beauty of the world beneath her. Dawn was breaking over the Island, and the huge stretch of ocean that seethed beneath her twinkled with the blossoming colours of the sky above.
Come on, Pippa, just a little further...
And there it was. Faint, but definite, a small patch of land began to grow ever nearer as she sped closer and closer to the shore. As the morning air whistled past her ears, she pushed herself to soar faster than ever, the waves below her blurring into a quick crash of scalding blues and pinks.
Fire?
A huge orange light glowed on the far side of the beach. Around it, Pippa could make out a colossal gathering of figures...
I'm nearly there...
Her breath caught in her throat as she shot towards the bonfire, her body coursing with exhaustion...
Just a little further...
A sharp stab of pain began to crawl up the back of her neck as she struggled to keep her head high. Squinting in the dim light, she could make out several people her own size, and a couple of strange shadows whose form she couldn't recognise...
Just a bit more...
Her body began to shake, her mind screaming for sleep. The heat of the fire began to reach the air around her and tickled her skin with a comforting rush of warmth...
Come on!
In one sudden swoop, Pippa began to fall. Her arms and legs spread limply in the air, and her eyes began to close. Gathering speed with every second, she hurtled towards the beach, finally crashing down in a violent explosion of sand just a few feet away from the bonfire.

((Pink is so hard to read! Oh well, nice post.))
"He is the last of his kind, I'm his servant. He created me from part of himself, Tyro was nothing but a puppet..."
Tyronus was standing right infront of him, listening to every traitorous word he was saying. His anger did not show, for it would reveal the truth behind Ichinen's words. Tyrouns spoke, his voice tremendous in presence as if his voice was coming from all sides of their ears.
"Forgive him, he must be illusional. I'm Tyronus, Necrmoaner Lord of the Black Sun Order."
Tyronus extended his right tentacle to both of the twins, it split own the middle for them both to hand shake with. He would deal with Ichinen's betrayal later. What caught Tyronuse's intrest the most though was the thing that had crashed down by the fire. The truth was, the thing offering to shake the twin's hands was only a double, the real Tyronus by the fire seeing what had crashed.
"What luck, some creature from the great space beyond this planet? Are you awake creature?"
Tyronus head slit open at the top, a giant eye ball revealing itself from his head. It moved frequently around the crater from his head, seeing what has crashed there. The eye was a dark red, abot 2 feet in width and length. It was deeply blood shot and seemed to have several broken vessels.

Rikku and Baralai quickly shook his... tentacle and walked back by Ichinen. "I don't think he is being illusional..." Baralai said quietly and defiantly to Tyronus. "Yeah, you two smell the same, and what he says makes sense... I believe Ichinen." Rikku said agreeing with her brother as they stood by ichinen.

"Fine, I won't deny anything. It is true, but I'm not here for him. He is free from my grasp, you can keep him. I came here to pick up something my puppet left with you."
Tyronus tentacle extended to Baralai right shoulder and grabbed a small bolb from his shoulder's skin. It was the spy Ichinen wanted to warn them about, but was too afraid to do so. The tentacle absorbed the tick like creature and it processed the few specs of blood gathered from Baralai.
"I hope you don't mind, I need samples in order to properly study your behavior patterns of you two. Don't mind it, I won't hurt either of you, just study. Now I just need your sister's blood, hold still."
Another tick creature developed in his left tentacle, this one was empty compared to the last one on Baralai. He drew it closer to Rikku's shoulder to place it on her.

((Thanks! ^^ And sorry about that... I change the colour of my font depending on what I'm wearing, it's sort of a habit... I hope this blue's a bit easier to see!))
Darkness. Pain. A huge, monumental pain that stung from every cell of Pippa's body.
Something was stood over her. Pippa still had her eyes clamped tightly shut, but the temptation of confronting the thing that was leaning over her was stirring at the back of her mind. Another part of her wanted to give up and go to sleep right there on the sand, but she couldn't resist the overwhelming sense of curiousity at the thing that was now inches away from her face. The two argued. The curiosity won.
Slowly and cautiously, she let her left eye slip open just a fraction, hoping that the thing would think she was still unconcious. The sight of the leering, bloodshot eye now only a few centimetres away from her own gave her a huge shock.
Screaming manically, she frantically crawled away from the creature, only to collapse pathetically a few metres away. Her limbs ached terribly, her face was covered in cuts and her right arm jarred painfully. Panting, she turned the face the creature, her eyes wide with fright.
"What do you want?" she demanded, cradling her hurt arm to her chest and eyeing the hideous stranger warily.

"..." Baralai looked at him in shock. "Why do you need to study our behaviour?" He asked as he watched him place it on a shaking Rikku. "Is it going to hurt?" She asked as the thing crawled on her. "What does it do?"
