LoL she's falling into the lake where they are fighting. Also, you are supposed to use her heart, I'm sorry if I didn't hinted that properly xD

The boy would knock the beast backwards as the Djin looked at him displeased. "You can't fool me twice Eirs, this time you are going to die, right here and right now with that hideous child of yours!" Sentenced the Djin, Dashing against Donovan, it would surely collide with him and there wouldn't be any time left to save Dovelette if that were to happen. "thump..." Once again, the heartbeat of the girl was heard along with the gemstone. "Onii chan!" Yelled the girl , she was scared, and falling that wasn't a good combination.
➟"I don't care what you do to me but don't you dare lay one finger on someone who has done nothing wrong! I'm the one you want so focus on me. Stay back and stay down this time!" Putting a bit more oomph into his swing he launched another seeming red energy wave towards the beast. If he failed it would mean the end of Dovelette which he wanted desperately to avoid at all costs. Making his way towards Dovelette as fast as his legs could go he realized something. A child would have no problem trusting someone, if anything the bond between the two seemed strong enough already, forging an empathic link would be simple. Once he got to her he would quickly forge a link with her and then unleash her heart so he could use it to his advantage. "I won't let you get hurt! Donovan's sword reverted back into an orb of light that flew right back into the boy's body. His hands needed to be free if he were to catch her. As he neared Dovelette he planned to save her and quickly use her heart against the Djin.
"The bonds I forge are what give me the ultimate strength, their hearts strong and brave shall guide me to an absolute and unbeatable power."

You probably did hint properly, I'm just bad at picking up on things. xD Do you want me to make her heart weapon or would you like to do the honors? I'm fine either way. ^^
Lol it's okay XD Edit: Just a small adjustment on the end's lore

"Onii chan!!" The little girl extended her hand at Donovan, who formed the emphatic link, saving her from falling any further and transforming her into an orb. However, the orb itself didn't do anything nor show what type of heart it was. Yet, when the gemstone reacted it fused with the orb creating a creative heart.
"Ara ara... what do we got here?.."
"Acquired Zoey's Heart" Suplementary Class : -Perks Teleport Fiery wavelength (Counts as Fire/Thunder attacks) Shockwave blast attacks. Vorpal Surge (Counts as water attack) Engulf itself with a vater veil that makes attacks reduce the opponent's evasion. (Protects against fire)
Weak to thunder Strong against Water /Fire
Within seconds, the beast would swallow the boy and drag him into the depths of the lake. The Djin would smirk upon her victory, before a powerful blast would pierce through it's skin, blasting it's way, destroying the coffin with the women inside. Allowing the body to reach the bed of the lake along wit the other corpses.
"I see... to use my own strength against me..."
The voice would fade away, along with the corpses, leaving a beautiful lake. where water was once more normal.
There was once a girl who was really pretty she was smart beyond belief she was the envy of her brother and sister and the pride of mom and dad
but one day, as she traveled to discover more and more about her soul she would find herself to be threatened by a reaper entering her house
With both parents killed, and both siblings death she took on the reaper offering a final game
Should she beat the reaper, she would have her family back but if she ever lost, her soul the reaper would also stack.
"Fine by me" said the reaper. Where the girl smiled
"Here I come, the challenge is singing. With a beatiful voice."
She knew reapers couldn't sing, for they had no souls, thus no actual voice.
But the little girl did not knew, her foe was no reaper and her soul she lost.
Having collected the family, she would leave the place. Finding a strong foe, Eirs had addopted a new pet.
She would private her from her intellect and would let her keep her pride for it was the pride that blinded her and the tool of her demise.
She raise the girl, hoping she would show promise but without her intellect she was useless none the less and so,she abandoned Zoey, and proceeded to be on her way.
➟Donovan peered put from his right eye which wan't shut like the other. Having already accepted the fact that he was going to die, he felt confused as to what was happening. "What now?" Opening his other eye he blocked out the light by shielding his face with his arms. It had been dark enough and long enough that his eyes had to adjust to the bright settings. "Dovelette?! Dovelette?! Where are you!? He searches but he couldn't seem to find anyone, it was like he was alone again. At least the corpses were gone and the river looked beautifully normal. "Its a shame we had to fight...I really didn't want to. Maybe we could have been friends...but hen again you did think I was someone else. Who is...Eirs...? I shouldn't leave quite yet...something isn't right here and I'm going to get to the bottom of it." It wasn't like Donovan could just leave the realm anyways. There were no directions to an exit or any exit for that matter that could be seen. Leaving the lake he turned around, just once, and smiled. Really this place was filled with beauty, something was still off though. "Now back to retracing steps...Dovelette was falling and...thats right! She turned into an orb and the orb did something...which means she's been with me the whole time." Donovan snapped his fingers as he realized what had happened and how he had managed to escape the Djin's grasp. "I used that power to escape! It all makes sense now..." Proud that he had figured out what had happened he wondered which way to turn to next. "Don't suppose another random child is going to spring up and lead me towards some more likely impending doom."

That explains why Zoey is so prideful...very interesting! Never would have thought that would be her backstory before she became Zoey. Makes sense though. ^^
Yus indeeds, added Donovan Inventory in the mission thread Might as well add this is like... well "Easy" walkthrough through the playground. The first time it always is. It should also help Donovan learn how to use her sister's hearts if they ever got the chance in the real rp

"Are you okay Onii chan?" The voice of Dovelette could be heard echoing through the aura the heart Donovan was using was producing. She could hear Donovan questioning his own motives and planning on unveiling the end of all this which made Dovelette giggle. "Onii chan is silly, Onii chan is the only Onii chan for Dovelette so there are no other childs" Stated the little girl as she pointed with a spirit arrow upwards. "Onii chan we need to keep moving, the sun is setting down and we mustn't keep mommy waiting. I don't want to miss story telling." There was a portal at the end of the trail created by the floating islands above the lake, Donovan could warp there and advance on the next area where the Next Djin would await.
➟"More toys!? Y-You mean I have to fight against another one of those creatures...? Well...alright then. I'll do it if it means I can get some answers, how bad could it be. Nothing is going to scare me more than that last guy..." Soon Donovan would discover that he could sense a heartbeat not too far by. Tracing the beats he did encounter some trouble finding the exact location of the heartbeat. "Hello!? Is anyone here? This is a nice home you have here just so you know!" His yells echoed the halls, he searched some more for anything that looked like a toy. The heartbeat still bugged him but he figured if he could find this 'toy' he would be able to escape from this place without having to engage in a battle with anyone. Like before the place was beautiful, he had no intention of ruining the beauty of the halls. As the bells chimed it soothed his mind and put his nerves at ease. Ever sine he had left the lake he had been feeling weird. Donovan was still wielding what he thought was Dovelette's heart, but it really wasn't, there was no way of telling for sure. There was doubt but to some extent the things he has learned up to this point has convinced him a great deal.

Gotcha! Nice place you have here by the way...I almost feel bad fighting in such a nice hall...oh well! ^^
Yeah but first you need to get used to the hearts before actually facing them, it wouldn't be fair for you otherwise. Also we are testing your character development so feel free to try the powers when you feel like it. Just for the record, you are still wielding Dovelette with Zoey's heart XD

"Okay Onii chan" They would soon travel to the inside of what it looked like a magical shrine, the soothing sounds of bells would rang by an the colorful halls would welcome the pair to the new battlefield. "Onii chan be carefull, this one's strong. We only need 2 more toys and we'll be ready to go and play with mommy" She stated as Donovan could soon feel a heartbeat nearby. It seemed to be hidden within the halls of the shrine.

"ohh Onii chan, this place is huge, but it's also dangerous, so be carefull, she likes to play with the living. " Added the girl without further explanation. The heartbeats would guide them through the various halls until they reached the heart of the shrine. There, laid a gemstone, just like last time, and beneath the gemstone, was a tomb with the picture of a woman. It seemed to be a grave.
➟"You aren't kidding! This place is huge, and I know a thing or two about huge places." Donovan laughed as the sound of the heartbeats guided him along the correct path to a gemstone. Acting cheerful he was really a bit worried on the inside. Dovelette didn't make the situation any better, spouting on about how this female seems to 'play' with the living. It was understandable that Donovan might have felt a bit scared to find the next gemstone, or this mystery lady. Coming to a complete stop, just before him was a beautiful gemstone. "There it is...do we really need it...?" Of course you do Donovan. Get serious and bulk up, you need to know whats going on here! "I hate when I'm right..." Reaching for the gemstone with every intention to grab it and run, he stopped his hand. He noticed the picture of a women he had never seen before. Taking a closer look he realized it was a tomb. Just then and there he finally got an idea of how things would pan out. "If I reach for that gem something is going to pop out and scare me...no...that might not be the case. Okay then, let me try this. If any spirits that still dwell within these halls, I ask that you grant a noble...ish...request! Please heed my plea and grant me immunity! What I truly seek is answers, let me take the gem and be on my way. All I ask is that you allow me to have the chance to educate myself!" His eyes were closed as he shouted his plea, he was sure something was going to hear him. Opening his eyes he looked at the picture one last time. "Forgive me..." Snatching the gemstone as quick as his hands could go, he tried bolting from the place as quick as he could. "If I can I'll bring it back!"
"The bonds I forge are what give me the ultimate strength, their hearts strong and brave shall guide me to an absolute and unbeatable power."

I look forward to the second time then. Whether it be Donovan or someone else I want to see more of this...'playground'. *cough* Death trap. *cough*
Okay, Remember what Dovelette said, Melani is very tricky. This is a battle of brains through reality scenarios.

"Onii chan should just grab the toy so we can go back with mommy that way we can play story telling" Replied the little girl with excitement, regardless of the hideously dangerous situation they were into. There was no sound, no response, as if they were the only ones in that shrine. As the boy's hand extended, the gemstone would emit a heart beat. Just like the last time. Snatching the gemstone away, he could feel goosebumps as he dashed away. He didn't to to far as his face would collide with something soft. A dying "Thud" was the sound it made, when Donovan would face check the woman's chest. "Educate yourself you said?" The woman seemed to be gentle beyond belief, he was greeted with a warm smile, despite him intruding her personal space. She would instead push a little distance between them, her hand would reach for his chin. The alluring eyes of the woman would distract Donovan as her hand reached for his. "It's been a while since I had an intern, all of them are... so frail." The sweet voice seemed to cover up the devious words the woman said, as she even made Donovan to summon his heart with the shape of a Blade. Her hand would swiftly, play with the edge of the blade. "Onii chan Look out!!" Yelled the little girl as with a single grip, the blade would crash in half, there was no time to response, she took on the falling edge before thrusting it through Donovan's neck, spilling the red rivers or blood with nor remorse nor care. The heart beat was heard once more. Donovan would snap out of it. Was it an Illusion? Whatever the reason was He could sense there were large amounts of madness within that little shrine, concealed within the grave. There was his hand, still extended, he never touched the gemstone to begin with. All that horrid vision was released in a single heartbeat. "Educate yourself you said?" The women asked once more. That same gentle smile. She was waiting at the exit of the shrine the whole time. "Go on, take it. I'm sure it will educate you properly." Said the woman, with no hostility in her voice, just like the last time. However Donovan bravely would reach for the Gemstone, and see his own hand slip through it, unable to grasp it. "Lesson number one. The dead... cannot touch objects in the realm of the living." Explained the redhead woman, pointing at her feet. There was Donovan and Dovelette's lifeless bodies on the floor. "I killed both of you from the very moment you stepped in."
➟Donovan could do nothing but be swayed by the women's devious trickery. Funny thing was, she seemed innocent and sweet. There seemed to be nothing wrong with her at all. "What are you doing to me? This isn't very nice you know, I did say please." Clearly things were not as they seemed, she managed to rip out Donovan's heart and manifest it into a weapon, something only he believed he could do. "Honestly now we don't need to quarrel. I'm perfectly fine with becoming friends, aren't you?" This time Donovan didn't really mean what he had said as much as when he said it back at the lake. If she fell for it, instant bonus. Otherwise the boy would stay light on his toes ready to take on anything she tried to dish out. "I'm no intern...wait...isn't the point of interns to assist with stuff that doesn't require them to be strong?" Joking along with her he would stare at her closely with a grin. He had to admit though that the women truly was beautiful, her eyes especially. This wasn't the time to be fawning over someone, he was in danger. "So when you used whatever trick that was...in the illusion I mean...was breaking my heart and adding salt to wounds on purpose? That blade was my heart and you just broke it...how cruel."Donovan shook his head in shame for the women. On the outside he was acting calm and maybe even a little cocky, but his own frailness didn't just get up and disappear. He was more worried so far for the safety and well being of Dovelette then himself. Whether or not this was a trick her dead body still disturbed him. "If I'm a ghost then I can't touch objects in the realm of the living...got it. Memorized." Time was of the essence, or so it seemed. Playing these mind games were going to be a bother. If only he had a clue as to what would come next. "...You just killed me...how cruel. Alright then! If we're going to play then I want a fair game! I'll be needing a hint or two...then when I win I could use that gemstone to...? Why was I gathering these again...? Oh right...toys...something about new toys for that girls mother." His legs were shaking, it wasn't so saddle but the women could see if she focused on his legs enough. No matter what he seemed to do the fear couldn't stop from showing.
"The bonds I forge are what give me the ultimate strength, their hearts strong and brave shall guide me to an absolute and unbeatable power."

Alluring eyes? Do I hear a ship between older Melani and Donovan? =w=... Nah that'd be a bit awkward...then again I suppose those two aren't related. x~x Wait! What am I doing talking about shippings here? Nvr mind me for now. ^^
There you go, if you have a lot stuff to do we could keep it simple with yes choice options.

"You ask me to give you the right to play with my life as you please, to use it as a toy for some girl's mother. That's not very convincing. Nor a reason to give you a fair game." The woman smirked while extending her hand. "Give me your heart... and I'll considerate the idea of a fair game" Said the redhead with that same innocent smile that would take his life on earlier events. It was indeed a dangerous game as Dovelette said earlier. However, Dovelette's voice was nowhere to be heard. And taking the body on the floor aside, there was no trail of the little girl.
➟"Well yeah but its important...I think." Donovan stared daggers at the women. Was she honestly just expecting her to hand him his heart without thinking of the consequences? Then again he himself should have felt a bit foolish the way he expected taking the gemstone would be easy. "I'm not going to just hand my heart to you. Especially after that little display you played for me back there, breaking my sword into two? Do you intend to do the same...? Never mind the thought! Tell me where Dovelette is right now!" He didn't buy that she was dead fully...not yet anyways. With her missing he had no clue what to do. She helped him out when they encountered the first Djin, but now he would have to face this foe alone. "Say...do you belong to the world of the living?" The boy took a look back at the picture where the coffin was and then back at her. "If I'm dead and your dead then could I win against you...oh I wonder. You know we still don't have to fight. You could always just hand the gem over and we could become friends."
"The bonds I forge are what give me the ultimate strength, their hearts strong and brave shall guide me to an absolute and unbeatable power."

"And you think I would hand my life to you that easily? You are really Self centered Donovan." Among the three of them, she was the one which merged the most with this little game, she could see through the illusion Eva had created, as well as distinguish the young swordsman. After he asked on about Dovelette, she woman smirked. "She's not useful to me, thus why she's still dead and you wander around." She limited herself to explain just that. On the other hand the boy held great power, more than she would like. At that time she confirmed, his DNA matched Eva's a pure born son. "None of us belong to the world of the living, not while we are in this place." The woman's laugh would echo through the shrine as he figure faded into the shadows. A pair of arms would embrace the boy's figure, feeling a cold breath near his ear. "You were dead from the beginning, the moment you accepted this little game you became our little toy. " She demonstrated her point, stroking her hand over his shoulder, the boy's arm would extend forward and summon a blade, which aimed Deviously at both bodies. "In this realm, you are to be bound by our wishes... your only way to leave is by taking out lives which reside in these gemstones" Donovan raised his arm, he could feel it storing energy to perform a strong slice downwards. "But if we succeed killing you, we might have the chance to kill precious mother... wouldn't it be lovely?... if I kill you here... and then I kill your mother, all of you could be locked in this place forever... you'll never need to wander alone, you'll have your dear mommy with you." She giggled deviously with that sweet voice which knew no forgiveness. "You still think we'll be friends?" The blade would fall with a powerful strike, should he resist killing Dovelette's and his own body, the battle would begging, should he fell upon the woman's control instead. No one would knew what she would be up to.
