Anna smiled. She was happy that Saku was happy, which was enough for her. "Oh, don't you worry about me. I found something along with your stuff." She pulled out a long green robe with gold embroidery on it. "See? This'll suit me just fine." She gently nudged Saku out the door. "Now you go show all those guys out there that you are a force to be reconed with. Womanly speaking, of course."
Anna turned back to dress herself. She pulled off her clothes, took a quick shower (with the aid of something like it in the bathroom), washed her hair, and then expirimented with her powers to suck all the water out of her hair into a potted plant. Then she put the robe on along with some gold earings and braclets she had found earlier. She knew she wouldn't be nearly as pretty as Saku, but that was her point. She wanted people to be drawn to Saku for her form, and then just her personality. Anna wanted the opposite. That way saku could be the star for the night. She pulled her hair up and walked out.
"Do I look okay?" she whispered nervously to Saku.

"you ladies look beautiful" tips voice came to them.
He was leaning against the wall looking at them both. He'd never seen anyone dress in such a manor. When cloud had gone through the ceremony she had dressed normally. The words he'd said had just come to mind, manners that cloud had probably created for him.
"i've come with imformation about the ceremony" he told them "you will all go together for the opening in which everyone will greet you. Then you will be split apart and a gift bestowed upon you. When you come back their will be something of a celebration in your honor. The forest will dance and sing for you"
ooc. so am i controling the ceremony minus what your characters do in response?

Thats cool. I probably wouldn't know what to do anyway.
Anna was surprised. "Split apart? What do we have to do to get the gift? Is there a test involved?" There was a whistle behind her and Juyo landed on an arm that Anna held out for him. "Can Jiyo come?" She gave a nervous laugh and patted her hair to make sure it hadn't fallen out of the bun she had put it in. She didn't feel beautiful, even though Tip said she looked like it. She was glad she hadn't blushed though. That would have been a disaster. She took a breath
"Oh, boy. I'm scared. What if I screw up?"

[[ I don't mind. Sorry for not posting sooner e.e ]] Kyo was wearing a simple tux. He looked at Saku and Anna. "Wow, you guys look great."Ryuu gawked at Saku. She was... pretty. He smiled. "You both look lovely."

Tip saw how Ryuu was looking at saku and scoffed at him. He left the room. Though they had made up in a way he hoped that Ryuu would still love Cloud. Yet he had been staring at saku, was that love in his eyes. When they had all gathered near Zelik after a while tip emerged again to answer Anna's question.
"yes Jiyo can come" tip said "he is a creature of the forest. In a way there is a test but you have to be brave anna. Believing in yourself and your powers is the key. Everyone has put their faith in you three. they wouldnt do so if they did not believe you could win"
After his little pep talk he changed tiredly into his fur ball form again. Despite recieving more energy he was still ill from being away from cloud.

Saku blushed for once. She wasn't used to so much attention. It was slightly uncomfortable, but nice all the same.
Zelik stood up and fussed with his loose, shirt once again. He was wearing a loose, white silk shirt with large light brown pants. Around his neck was a rather ornate necklace of a bird and a dragon circling around a shimmering gem. His hair was also combed and tidy.
"Well, everyone looks presentable." He said with a smile. "I guess we're ready then." He then looked at Anna.
"Do not worry about the tests, Anna. You'll do fine. You all will. Shall we go?"

Ryuu saw that Tip was offended. He sighed. Ryuu still loved Cloud though. "Yes, lets leave so we get there on time. The elders aren't to patiant..." Ryuu left out of the house.Kyo sighed and followed. He never really liked partys or anything and hoped there would be no dancing, because, he couldn't dance. Most likely he would stand near the wall.

Anna took a deep breath, reashuring herself with the other's comments. Of course she would do okay. They wouldn't make her do anything that she wasn't prepared to do... would they? Jiyo made a musical chirping noise that sounded much to like a funeral march.
"Jiyo... I am not above swatting you," she said with narrowed eyes.
P.S., I'm going somewhere until Sunday afternoon, so I won't be able to post until then. Maybe not until Monday.

Saku laughed and rubbed Jiyo's head.
"I thought it was very good." She said, before hurrying quickly to Zelik's side.
"You've been to alot of these things right?" She asked. He nodded.
"I don't have to act too formal do I?"
"Not at all." Zelik said with a smile. "It's best if you be yourselves. You remember those kids who you said were reported missing on the T..Te..tevision?" he stumbled over the word and Saku chuckled.
"Television." She corrected him.
"Right. Anyway, those three were part of the original group of rebels that formed to stand up to the tyrant that's taken over our world. Those that fled sought refuge in this forest, and over time the magic that rubbed off them lingered in the forest, giving it its magical properties. Ryuu and myself ran the rebel group, then there was Selene, a harpie; Horawk, a warewolf; and Othar, an elf mage...They all died in various battles, and they were very dear to us. Along with them were Trenton, Ariana, and Cloud who were all human...and about...maybe a hundred various others who joined for many reasons that they often kept to themselves. Anyway, they all witnessed a ceremony of the forest atleast once."
"Oh. I see..." Saku lowered her eyes for a moment. So Cloud had been a rebel? That was a good thing....But why would she betray them and serve the king?
Saku frowned, knowing she was missing a huge part of the story. Still, it was nice to know she was on their side...if only for awhile.
She quickly searched for a new topic of conversation.
"I haven't seen that necklace before." She said.
"Yes. It's one I wear on very rare occasions. The bird in the necklace is a pheonix. Pheonixes are symbolized as being the very essence of passion, love, and freedom. The dragon, on the other hand, represents sheer power and dominance. Under a dragon's might one trully trembles. It is a symbol of brutality. Together, they circle around a heaven stone. The heaven stone symbolises many things, but it mostly symbolises, rebirth. The pheonix and the dragon are flying around the heaven stone in an infinate circle. It tells us that no matter who we are, or what we've done, we can always atone. Even the most vicious dragon can be reborn as a pheonix. Likewise, even the most cowardly thief, or fragile human, can be reborn as a brave, powerfull hero." Zelik said, placing his hand over the charm.

Anna glanced at Jiyo. "See? You're supposed to be scary and powerful. Now act like it." Jiyo opened his mouth displaying sharp fangs and hissed at her. Anna squeeked and ran over by Zeliz and Saku. "Okay, that was scary. I take it back."

As they walked along the trees seemed to guide them to where they needed to go. Behind them they were thick and very dense blocking light and intertwining. Ahead of them the tree's seemed to split apart and wave them forward their leaves dancing in the wind.
Anna could hear them singing wonderful songs inviting them into the woods and singing of their coming victory. As they drew closer there was an opening up ahead. The trees suddenly sank away and they were in the middle of a field with high grass that tickled their ankles.
Eyes appeared from everywhere, watching them as they stepped further into the open. Creatures of all sizes from small mouse like creatures to a dragon much bigger than Jiyo attended. Every race was there land, air and sea. The oldest and wisest were in attendance to greet those who were meant to save them.
Each stepped forward and bowed before them kneeling down in respect before taking their place in a circle around the three. Once all had bowed the celebration began. There was in fact lots of singing and dancing. Wolves danced around in a circle dipping and darting around eachother. Tilting their heads up to howl then dance some more over and over again in a wonderful tune. Birds took their turn and sang their song while flying in a syncronized manner overhead. Deer pranced along the meadow. The dragon roared in a deep voice and pheonix's cooed and dripped their tears upon the grass blessing the area. The cats roared and somehow it all came together into one beautiful mass of sounds each carrying their own beat so that you could hear their parts at different points.

Anna felt all at once honored and blessed and in awe and totally embarassed that these creatures would get so happy just because she was there. She blushed and smiled sheepishly, glad that no one could see it in the dark.
"The trees are happy..." she whispered.
