How exactly had he gotten this far in the first place? It seemed he had been dedicating just a bit too much into this game. Then again, it wasn’t as if he could log out at his leisure to do something else. This was all he could do at the moment. R0GU3 supposed he could be like Otto and attempt to figure out what exactly was going on with this game, but at the same time he wanted to play. There was a compulsion to complete the quests and fight mobs. And now that he’d reached the proper level requirement…
He pulled out his pocket card and headed for the Lost Temple. As he stood at the edge of the water, he wrapped the scarf around his neck a few more times to stop it from drying. Then he stepped into the pool. As he walked through the waters, the rabbit found his mind wandering off. He imagined himself back on the island. His clothes were the same and he still looked tired as ever, which didn’t surprise him in the slightest.
His boots echoed softly as he walked down an unfamiliar corridor. At the end he could make out a glowing portal, and with a sigh of relief he walked through it to enter the rest of the human world. The hunter felt the sun lightly warming his back as he stepped in front of a familiar house. He looked up before cautiously walking down the front pathway and the patio steps. He called out quietly while knocking on the door. “Mo—“
If only he could choose.
Wistfully, R0GU3 snapped out of his daydream to grab the orb.

This game was a very strange place indeed. Teddomination had not thought he would find himself here... and yet here he was, running around Wonderland. But it was more than that. He wasn't just ambling around, he was accomplishing things. Doing things. Making friends.
If dreams were all like this, Teddomination never wanted to wake up.
His pawed hand squeezed the hand of BoiisonFIYAH next to him, and he looked to his friend with a smile. They could do this.
As he crossed the room, a sense of accomplishment overtook him. He wasn't weak, and he wasn't pathetic, no. He was strong because he knew when to be scary, and when to be kind. You didn't make friends, only scaring people. Perhaps that was why his mother had left. His father, while strong... was not the most loving man.
And he was. He could be strong, and scary, and kind. It was the most beautiful and breathtaking revelation, and it washed over him all at once. His strides seem silent by the enormity of his emotions, and it was... good.
When he reached the other side, he turned once more to Boi, and beamed.
"We've made it this far, friend. Let's keep moving forward."
With that, he grabbed the orb.

While they didn't speak, it felt like volumes were passing between them. Hands held, the glorious temple around seemed tiny compared to all the thoughts that cascaded down on him. This game was crazy. There was no two ways about it. Totally, 100% insane. They had fought a jabberwocky, an evil cake, a glitch world, and through it all had survived and... Grown it seemed.
As they waded in the water to reach the exit and the orb, BoiisonFIYAH saw a vision of himself. Older, different, still as scary, but just as nice to his friends. Oddly, still beside him was Teddy. Their hands clasped. An old parable came to mine, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts". They made a great team. While they could stand alone, Boi felt that with him anything was possible. Instead of confusion or fright he felt warmed and... great.
The dream disappeared and they had reached the end of the temple. Their clothes had changed and so, Boi felt, had they. He might not be the best Zues messenger in the world, and his parents might still think he's worthless, but Boi had learned a lot about himself.
"Thank you, my best friend."
And he too grabbed the orb.

His phone had randomly gone off as he was traversing the battle grounds by himself as usual.
Turning down towards the little machine, he picked up the message and worked towards the location that it was bringing him too. Which, apparently, was a giant lake. It was a pretty cool, calming looking lake, but did seem very . . . enticing.
Well, okay, the beckoning orb in the middle, almost like a promise. A welcoming friend. Going to step at the water, he slowly started wading through the water, making little uncomfortable noises from the small temperature difference between being dry and being stomach up in water.
As he waded, he had an overwhelming feeling, a thought of a strength bubbling from somewhere he didn't know, everything fuzzing around him as some kind of painted story came over.
He could feel it, a calming strength - being able to understand and just feel like he knew what to say. He could feel himself being able to just . . . help when he could. Strong enough to listen, to feel and hold on to those around him that were hurting. Hear their words, sense their emotion. He wanted to be there for everyone, no matter how taxing it was.
All Dorian wanted was to make sure everyone he loved would never hurt again, even if it meant he had to steel himself further.
Feeling himself snap back for a moment, a gloved hand came up to his forehead, soaking his face a little.
It felt . . . it had felt real.
A calming reality that he strived for.
Sighing out of his nose a little, he went to touch the orb, accepting his new class change.

Reine approached the temple with trepidation- it had nothing of the madness or excitement of the tea party, the atmosphere sombre rather than cheerful. Making her way up the stairs, she found herself drawn to the orb on the opposite side of the pool.
Water rippled as she walked, slowly, feeling a strange sense of power welling up within her. With each step she grew more confident, the surroundings changing around her into a dark, run-down establishment that had, years and years ago, possibly been a bar- a place that had haunted her nightmares for months. Shards of glass strewn over the floor, furniture smashed and walls ruined, the place reeked of mildew and the unmistakeable stench of rot.
He- it stood there, as it had then, but this time she was ready, glowing blue scythe in her hands, poised to strike.
The horseman's mouth opened, but she wasn't listening to pointless drivel; she didn't have to. This time it was at her mercy, this time she would destroy it, obliterate it, it had no chance against her.
Lunging forwards, she swung the scythe and the creature screamed, writhing and twisting and then the vision cleared- her hand was on the orb, and..
Wonderland felt so very very normal again.
Swallowing, Reine felt light wash over her, and her form shifted into that of a White Rabbit Herald.

*Borg entering-*
CRASH!
Or crash-landing. It's about the same, really. Only the sooner would be preferred.
"What is this place?" asked Borg to the Pocket Card that suddenly warped him.
This is the Lost Temple. Only after reaching some kind of resolution---or after accepting the very essence of Wonderland---along with some Level requirement you can reach here. Of course, you will need a Pocket Card. Answered the yellow card, now somehow floating in front of him.
"What should I do here?" He peeked over the white marbled tiles and found they are...
Floating.
In a floating island.
Far above the colorful world below.
"Huh. Fancy."
Touch the Orb at the innermost room of this Temple, and you will obtain greater power. It is imperative that you should walk in the water instead of taking the dry tiles.
"Some fancy rules you got there. What, is there some kind of leviathan nested in the water?"
The Card didn't answer that one. Suddenly Borg felt a cold shiver runs down his spine.
"...it can't be...right?"
I will wait your arrival at the Orb. the Card then flew upstairs and vanished from sight.
"THERE ARE NO LEVIATHANS IN THE WATER RIGHT!!!?"
No response.
"*sigh* I regret asking that now." Muttered Borg as he climbed the stairs.
At the top of the 200-climb staircase, he is awarded by the sight of shallow pool, the water probably at knee-height and he can see fishes swimming in it. It was about ten meters long and five meters wide.
No sign of any snake-like, dragon-like, serpent-like, cephalopod-like or anything else than fishes and some lotus plant floating on the crystal clear waters of that pond.
One thing that still bothering him is that the fishes swimming are GLASS FISHES filled with water and one smaller fish inside.
He saw an orange light at the end of the pool.
"So, I just have to walk through this pool, right? no problem---"
And thus he entered the pool when running as fast as he can.
NOPROBLEMNOPROBLEMNOPROBLEM
He muttered that mantra.
As he reached the end of the pool, he felt terribly embarrassed that he ruined the lotuses growing in the pool by the waves he created when waddling.
"Sorry." He thought if he was stronger (mentally) or a little bit braver, he wouldn't do that.
"So."
Yet the room turned dark on him suddenly. And there was another 'him' standing beside Borg.
"Yep. I am you. You are me. We are a big, happy family. Don't ask the obvious." Said the 'other' Borg, with eyes Red to him. "And me also." Said one more 'Him' standing at the opposite direction, but this one has Yellow eyes. "And me." Said the OTHER one sporting BLUE eyes.
"Stoppit you guys are aggravating my existential crisis!" Said Borg to the three.
"Soo." The three 'Others' said at the same time. "I guess we are a sort of...lesee, test?" "Yes, this is indeed a test." "A test to see are you worthy of that power."
"And why I need to be tested?"
"Do youreally meantthat question?"
The three of them synchronologically answered. "What, am I THAT untrustworthy?"
"Sadly, yes. In fact, there's many reasons that you are untrustworthy for this power." "We are here as a safeguard so that this power is not used to anything *bzzzz*" "Save it, me. Here we are part of the System. So we can't *bzzzz* OH HECK."
A few seconds pass with silence.
"How do I pass this test again?"
The three of him looked each other. "Damn."
"I can't outsmart me." "I can make myself feel guilty about choices I made? Oh wait."
You can practically see the gloom looming over the three other 'him'.
"Let's promise nothing of this should get out from here, yes?"
The other three nodded.
"So off you go." "Get the power." "To destroy this ******** dream."
"Thanks, me."
And as soon as he said that, the black world opened.
He was at the front of the Orb, which glows with soft, gentle orange-ish glow.
Took you long enough. Said the Card, hovering beside the Orb's stand.
"I didn't anticipate that much inner monologue," replied Borg lightly. So. What is the meaning of 'Power' to you? Is it to Destroy? Is it to Protect? Is it to Create?
"Power is power. Nothing else, nothing more. Power can mean oppression. Power can mean sacrifice. But power can also be gentle. Power can heal, even make others smile."
He reached to the Orb.
"What I wish is the POWER to realize all my wishes and intention. Calming to ones that need Protection. Fierce to ones that intends to Harm. Healing to those with wounds."
...and may the Insanity inside you blooms. "-HEY!" That was a part of the rite, idiot.
The Orb then explodes with silvery light!
"...question."
What?
"Can I make these cards stop appearing from everywhere?"
No, but you might want to watch out for the new Ability Cards if you're gonna to toss them out.
"You mean these? What."
"...how am I going to go back?"
Jump down.
"ARE YOU KIDDING *pop*"
*Borg teleported out of the Temple!*

As the hare completed the quest of tasting things, and had finished removing the metric ton of honey from his fur. So he may have not noticed the beeping for a while, but he did now! Licking one of his paws he mused as he tried to figure out how to get the thing to-
Well ok. There it was. "...kay." At least he could talk in this animal form. He lightly poked at the thing as it was laying on the ground, his ears flicking back a bit. Ascension? Well he didn't dislike the sound of it. So he lightly pressed the button and found himself warped to an island with water everywhere. "Where was this when I needed a bath?" It really would have saved him some time. Still, there wasn't much here. Water... water water wat- oh an orb? He was curious as he started towards it, finding he had to swim with his miniature size as a few thoughts swirled in his head.
Power? To be strong was one thing, sure. But he didn't believe brute force was really the answer to most things(dungeons aside). Rather, if he truly thought of a powerful figure his father came to mind. Not for his political strength. No. The strength of will and self control. Never faltering in what he knew what had to be done, having the strength to proceed and beat down the opposition with words alone. Did he aspire to be every bit his father? No. He wanted his own version of it, but to be able to handle each thing as it was? Certainly, certainly that was power in itself. It didn't mean being devoid of emotions, but to hold firm control over them. To be able to make decisions wisely. To be competent in what you did. You didn't need strength physically for that. But willpower. That was it. What he truly saw as powerful.
And then, without even realizing it he had reached the orb, tiny furry paw pressed against it as there was a happy cheery sound.
Cheshire Cat Wraith
The class briefly showed before him before a few cards showed before him allowing a choice. Two of them specifically. He reached out lightly to tap two of them as they seemed to click into place in his deck. And then was promptly warped out. Welp that wasn't too hard?

When she finished filling up a jar of confetti, she heard her pocket card notified her of level up and - job class promotion?!
"Z !" She called. "Look at this~"
On the scree, a message was blinking. She poked onto it to open it. "Congratulations! You are level 25 now. Please visit the Lost Temple for a possible job class upgrade. Whenever this message is opened, the location of the Lost Temple will be marked on the map so that you can visit it anytime."
"ALICE-chan congrats me for reaching level 25! I am so happy Z! Let's head to the Temple~" She tapped onto the Lost Temple icon on the map for a quick transfer.
- In the Lost Temple -
When arrived, the first one she heard was mind-peace waves, gentle and slow. The rabbit girl found herself standing at the beginning of series of marble stairs. Carefully hearing made herself discovered the smaller volume of melodious and clear sound of a fountain. This place felt so tranquil and calm. There's always someone to disturb the silence. "I am not." She puffed her cheeks once again while stomping through the ascending endless stairs. She didn't feel how long she had walked when she's angry. He can always find a way to destroy her mood.
Walking along the fountain, she reached the edge of a large pool where an enormous rested quietly at the end of it. It was glowing in a very slow manner and then getting dimmer consecutively, like the rhythm of the gentle sea wave. B.B slowly immersed herself into the water, feeling the coolness slowly freshed up her soul, it felt so good. There were occasionally some curious fishes approached her and tapped her with their heads, that didn't bother the rabbit girl at all, she just waded within the water, mind slowly cleared. The only thing in her mind was the thought of what she could do with more power. As her conscious faded away, the whole room was quickly covered in niveous white -
Walking on her way to the Death Lead's office, the Death hunter in her assistant hunter coat carried a smile on her face. Being his assistant was the achievement she was most proud of. She could protect the people she loved without difficulties and was glad to teach new trainees sometimes. His rarely seen smile and his trust were the greatest reward and recognition for the efforts she made. She was his proud Death hunter. After discussing details for her next mission, she was sent to get some rest, so she played some good music in her room, with headphones put on and enjoyed her coffee. Such a busy but meaningful day for her........
Slowly opened her eyes, she felt like having a wonderful dream. Thanks Wonderland. It might be a dream come true if she worked harder. She found herself at the orb and she didn't hesitated to tiptoe and touch it.
The orb illuminated a blinding flash and she found her attire and outfit got upgraded. Three cards floating around her slowly with the instruction "select two of them". She tapped on two of them and saw a line appeared.
SYSTEM NOTIFICATION
"Congratulations! You are now a White Rabbit Herald!"
A big smile was on her face, more power meant she could do more.

Petite, pale skinned with amber colored eyes. The black hair bunny girl is wearing a red and white standard attire, long hair tied into twin tail style. Her big pair of eyes are hidden under the gold trimmed round glasses. The rabbit is always seen wearing a curious and happy smile on her face, with a pair of little pink wings on her back.
There was a beeping sound in her pocket and she looked down at it. "Hmm?" n0ms looked down at it and poked at its buttons. So far she had only been using it to check things or to press buttons to make noises, but it seemed to be beeping out of control and she shook it with both hands. "What do you want? You hungry?" She tilted her head and blinked at it, noticing a blip on the map. "Go there? If you say so."
Holding it out in front of her as she walked like a map she began to follow it with meaningful long strides of a march, following it to the letter. Right, left and then a looong way up she followed it with a smile. So far it hadn't steered her wrong, save for the time it didn't work, so she trusted it. Otherwise she'd have taken a bite out of it already.
Up.
Up some more.
Up.
n0ms finally reached the top and looked beyond her card. "Oh!" She said, shoving the device away and blinking at the sight of it. "Where have you led us, Pocket?" n0ms mused, putting a finger under her chin thoughtfully. n0ms didn't care much for swimming but something gleamed beyond the water and it caught her attention. She wanted to touch it. Eyes wide with obsession she slowly waded into the water, pushing forward with her eyes focused to it. Was it another treat? A piece of jewelry? She had to know.
With each step she felt a haziness around her vision. It fell around her more and more until...
Their fingers were laced and she could see a warm, smiling face beaming down at her. It was strange that it seemed closer than usual. She was taller. Glancing around her she hummed a happy tune, they were together in a different world. A human world.
"Are you ready?" He questioned, unlatching their hands and looking beyond. Distant screams could be heard.
The tall Mouryou grinned with her sharp teeth, extending her hands with long claws, smiling back at him. "With you around? They don't stand a chance." Together they were powerful and she was able to change to what she needed, do what had to be done. As a chill ran through the night the two were united by a common emotion. A powerful emotion.
How could they lose?
n0ms shook her head several times and blinked. The shininess was in front of her now, able to touch it, though she immediately noticed how short she was again. A from moved across her face. Was that real? Her cheeks flushed with color and she had to shake it off slowly. Taller was a good thing but she was most happy with the other part of it. Feeling his skeleton hand in hers...
n0ms shook it off and looked back to the orb. A timid hand reached out and touched it and she felt a surge within her and she moved back, looking down at herself. Something had changed, that was for certain. She looked at herself with a sly grin which she felt had extended slightly. Her body looked to be flickering just slightly. She was no longer just a Cheshire Cat, she was a Cheshire Cat Wraith now. Stronger and more deadly she was going to be a force to reckon with.
With a gleeful skip she took her new ability cards with the same grin, happy to walk away with her new power.

She had heard her pocked card beep at her a few times before, but now it was going absolutely nuts. Jack_Blue paused in her exploration of the table, taking the PC out of her pocket and reading the screen.
Apparently it was time for a upgrade.
Intrigued, she pressed the [ ACCEPT ] Button to accept the quest, and felt her body being teleported to somewhere else. The new location was a nice change of pace, a area that not only made sense, but had it's own level of tranquility and peace.
She didn't immediately see the orb, deciding to just rest beside the waters edge for a little while, but when she eventually did she was drawn to it like, well, a dragon to a shiny orb. Stepping into the water, she reveled in the cooling effect it had as she waded across. She even ducked her head under for a second to wet her head and ear-fins.
Bringing her head up, she let her mind wonder as she moved closer. How much stronger would she be after touching the orb? Could she fight the jabberwocky?
Or even...
The area around her dissolved as she let her fantasies grow wild, her form shifting and changing with the world to match.
She stood on a ledge as a full grown dragon, her body towering over everyone else. Claws raked the earth as she swiveled her gigantic head, watching the three figures in front of her. A red cloaked werewolf, a scythe wilding human, and a horsemen bearing a ring of flowers. They were mighty opponents, but she was far greater.
She opened her jaws, drawing in breath as she channeled her FEAR into her special attack. With glinting eyes, she blew out her vortex of water at the three, and watched with satisfaction as they were swept away in the resulting torrent.
She hadn't even broken a sweat.
-
Her daydreaming ended, the gryphon found herself standing in front of the orb. Reaching out, she placed a hand on the glowing ball and felt the power surge through her as the PC sung a little tune.

He had been busy with helping others fight off baked goods, and tasting the desserts at the giant table, that he had simply swiped at his card to stop the beeping without even looking why it was notifying him.
He had assumed that it was merely a game update report from the moderators.
But now that he finally decided to take a break, he found himself examining his pocket card, mainly wondering if ShadowLord15 had seen his messages. What he found however, was that an entirely new area was open to him now!
And it was a beautiful place, indeed. It also seemed rather peaceful; ironic, he thought, as he was here to upgrade his job class and be more powerful.
As he waded towards the orb, he found a mixture of emotions rising within him. There was excitement, of course, as he was going to be able to upgrade his abilities and be stronger. But there was also trepidation, as he wondered what this gift of power ultimately meant. Was there a strong, sinister thing behind this all that they had to work to destroy?
His vision seemed to blur, and he squeezed his eyes shut.
When he opened them again, he found himself in a room. A dark ornate table was near him, complete with a fancy armchair. Numerous files were on the table. One of them was open, and he could make out what looked like a contract, with empty lines at the bottom for signatures.
He knew this room. It looked exactly like the office room in the mansion at home. He had rarely spent time here, given that his parents liked to separate their business from private time with the family, but he had certainly caught a glimpse of it. More than a glimpse, really, because he and his brothers had snuck in on more than one occasion when their parents were out.
He shouldn't be in here. He thought.
But as he made his way towards the entrance, the door opened. "Are you finished with those documents, Erebus?"
He found himself reeling from the implication of it all.
A few more steps and everything faded away, the orb glowing right in front of him. Blowing a deep sigh out, he placed his hands upon the orb. It was no use thinking of that vision now. Not when this was all just a dream.

Epithet had finally made it to the Lost Temple. He followed the pocket guide and this was the place to go when players reached level 25. He smiled to himself as he entered inside; the area opening to a white, pristine room with a large, watery canal that led to a large orb on the far side of the area. He looked down at the pocket guide once more for what was necessary advance to the next stages.
Requirements: - Players must hit level 25 - Players must have fought and completed at LEAST one battle in the battlezonelink - Players must have completed at LEAST one side quest in any of the zones. link
Putting the pocket guide away, he was confident that he would not be rejected here. With determination and focused, he waded into the water to get to the exit on the other end, he began fantasize himself with more power. The room begins to blur and a scene fills in around him. It is himself as the most powerful.
Powerful. He could feel the room around alter itself into a strange visage of what he would imagine himself after he had graduated from school, his clothes changing ever so; a sharp jacket, a white button down shirt, a black-blue tie, and dress pants. He seemed to exude authority, smoldering, undeniable sexiness as he strolled down the hall of this realm of power. Initially, he had thought this was himself as his mother had wanted him; a demon, one that had gotten by through the use of manipulation and underhanded tactics, but he knew better. Oh did he know better, this wasn't himself as a demon. This was him as a grown adult who had immense handle on his life, his abilities, and his status within his house. This was no hallway he was walking down, this was the estate that the Cocytus pack called home. This hallway led to the main foyer. As he entered it, he picked out the faces of the pack; his mother, his uncle, his younger sister, and the extended family on his mother's side. All of them gathered and looked up to him on the balcony.
"Uru'baen," his mother spoke, her voice wasn't vicious, vindictive, dripping with seductive manipulation behind the guise of flattery, no, her voice was smooth, calm, and proud. "Heir to the Cocytus is now taking my mantle as Alpha!" She announced as the audience exploded into an uproar of claps and cheers.
The Alpha descended the stairs to greet his pack with a smirk. "My first order of business is the release of the staff on the estate." the pack gave a shocked expression, even his mother was taken back. "You will all pull your own weight here. Those, staff included, who want to stay in my pack will do their part. None of this unnecessary laziness you have all taken part in."
"But Uru'baen, the staff has always been here and it is thei-"
The glare he gave the speaker was enough to cause the man to recoil and whimper. "This is how it will be done here. We demons have spent too long using others, growing lazy and weak. I will not have a weak pack. You do your part, you stay, if you wish to stay the way you are, the door is behind you."
There was chatter among the group which the Alpha paid no heed. His sister, beaming so brightly up at him as she came to take his hand in her own. "I am so proud of you, brother." He smiled at her, kneeling down to place a hand on her head.
"Mother." his voice was firm, demanding, the family suddenly when he spoke. "My other order of business is this." he raised to his full height, his eyes seemed to glow with an eerie coldness as he glared into his mother's. "You will personally find my father and bring him back. And you will beg for his forgiveness or do not return at all."
The visage faded away as the words fell from his lips, the room returning to the white, pristine as he found himself before the orb, his eyes focused and determined. Power is the ability to make change.
Epithet thrust his arm out, placing his palm flush against the orb's smooth surface. In a blinding flash of light, he was standing at the entrance of the Lost Temple with a brand new avatar and two new cards to his roster.

In a less important world, it was both conceivable and factual that a small runic pendant could teleport her through space and time. It made perfect sense, in this sensible world, that the Pocket Card of ALICE's design could do the very same, with the exception of the end result. The place that she would be deposited at the end of this incident of matter transference was much better in Wonderland.
But wasn't everything?
Mimsy admired the place where she had been transported, and found it to be easily congruent with the same consistent perfection that Wonderland had provided thus far. It was an island, but this was much better than any other island she had ever known.
There was an orb faintly visible at the other end of the temple, opposite where she stood, with smooth, glassy water and flora and fauna in the pool in between. She dipped her toes into the water first, to watch the ripples spread across the surface, before stepping into it to wade cautiously through.
She was always going to touch the orb, in every world and time and circumstance. She was always driven by curiosity above all else, and she would always need to know.
And she did, all at once, when ten fingertips were placed atop it. The secrets of this universe, the one before, and a thousand others, all in the palms of her hands.
She had already known the best secret of all, but it was nice to hear its echo: she was Mimsy, in her Wonderland, and nothing could take that away from her again.

At some point, her little pocket guide thing had beeped at her, it always seemed to and for a while it was in a location she had no clue of. Eventually it jostled loose, most likely from O'Hare whenever he decided to make his presence known (or unknown, he had gone a while undetected after all). So, when she heard the beep the first time she thought nothing of it. But when she went to check it after a particular battle she noticed one of the buttons seemed aglow. Curious, she pressed it.
OuO found herself at a temple, from the looks of it. She stared. A pool. Lots of water. Oh, and a very shiny orb at the end of it. Well, that looked nice. She kind of wanted it. So, the small ghoul made her way over towards the water's edge and just continued on walking, thinking either she'd float across or sink given the weight of the armor (and how things sometimes happened with her and water). But apparently some preprogrammed swimming application began to run and she found herself doggie paddling instead, wading through the water towards her destination.
Little by little, her vision began to blur and no matter how many times she tried to clear it it just grew stronger and stronger until everything in her line of sight filled with white.
Images began to play out around her and where she had thought she had been once submerged in water she was now in the middle of a crowded room with all eyes upon her. Happy eyes, friendly eyes, faces filled with mirth from her presence alone. She could feel in all around her, a jovial feeling and the strengths of her bonds with all these creeple. Some small, sparks but others like burning suns and strong that could never be broken. Surrounded by love and friends, that's what made her strong.
She reached out towards them, they reached out towards her but what she found in her hands instead was the orb she had originally began to seek. And her eyes cleared, transitioned back into the pool that she had first arrived at. Well, that was a nice thing to see, she thought to herself with a wide smile. The orb felt very nice as well in her hands and she could feel the power beneath its glow fill through her and allow her wings to sprout.

JabberWhut had just been finishing exterminating snapdragonflies when the beeping started. He had looked around confused before he remembered he had that shiny card thing, pocket card or whatever you called it in his...errrr...pocket, well duh. He had pulled it out and then baam, next thing he knew, he was god knows where and everything was wet.
He looked around. Right. Floating island, covered in water. Wasn't the whole point of having an island float was to get as far away from water as possible? But nooooo, water as everywhere here. He grimaced as he looked at the grand staircase leading up to the temple. Obviously he was supposed to climb them, but eh, why did they have to be covered in water? Wasn't that just asking for people to slip, fall, and maybe probably break their head? Right. Well whatever, it wasn't like he knew how to get off this island anyway and he wasn't going to sit around and get steadily drenched, so he started walking up the stupid flight of stairs.
At the top was more water. Fantastic. He started wading through that too, but as he walked, he found his distaste for the water lessen. Or perhaps it wasn't so much that he found the water to be beneficial or have magical healing powers, he was just being distracted--he was suddenly feeling more powerful. With each step he took, he could feel more and more power surging through his veins.
In the back of his mind, a small voice was telling him that he was probably just being stupid like that time he ate that big vanilla ice cream and that feeling powerful or not, he was not very powerful at all. But the other half of him told the small voice to shut the hell up, and that heck yes, this was the time for him to shine.
The room began to blur around him and he heard voices around him. He was back at his family home again, just like the many times he had seen it at the lake, but this time was different. For one thing, this never happened. He was standing in the whole lot of his family and all their eyes were on him, praising him. In the crowd was his sister, her eyes full of admiration.
He let the power, pride, and fierce joy sink in.
He reached towards the orb, every fiber telling him that, yes, this was his moment.
He touched it and the scene faded. He stood stock still for a few minutes. Then he facepalmed. That was embarrassing.
JabberWhut noticed his new uniform and claws. Well, that was new.
