How did she know? Could the little one read his thoughts? Maybe she could he would have to be more careful of that. Softly petting her fur he chuckled softly. "Do not worry dear, I haven't had any luck with my research anyway. I won't per sue them anymore." he said trying to calm them both down. So Rakia can have visions as well? She was such a magical and special child. Though he grew concerned for her. Rakia seemed to be in a lot of pain after seeing whatever visions she saw. Merlin would have to talk to her parents about that, he did promise them that he would let them know if Rakia unlocked any special hidden potential. "Anyway are you feeling alright now Rakia? Do you need to lay down a bit?" now acting like a concerned grandfather than her teacher Merlin stayed by her side. -------------------------------------------------------- Olivia flew down to stand on Micheal's hand. "Oh Lexy is just super impatient! Like most boys his age!" she giggled cutely looking up at him. Tilting her head she curtsied to the man.
"Sure I can help for food! Well as long as I don't have to lift anything bigger than me." she blushed sheepishly. "What do you need me to do Mikey!"

The fox sighed in relief, and the Giehsa doll did the same.
A nap would be nice, Alfer-sensei. She said. She lifted her head and blinked wearily and rested it in his leg, before closing her eyes and falling asleep, comforted by Merlin's reassuring words.
The geisha doll vanished as well.
~~~
I saw Finita running by with Helena in her arms. The snake woman was covered in frost. Said the scientist as he started to hurry towards the lab's cafeteria.
Stepping inside, few people were up already, though food was already being cooked. He hurried over to one of the bakers and ordered a fruit filled doughnut for her. The baker nodded and retrieved one, and Micheal took it and sat down at a table and offered her the treat.
I need someone to help me investigate the rooms and make sure none of the others are in danger.

Merlin smiled warmly watching her fall asleep. Closing his eyes he sighed heavily. Problem was it was too late to stop, he felt like he was too close to unlocking everything. Around his apprentice he wouldn't think or consider doing any of the research out of respect, but he wasn't going to stop. Merlin had to have that power! He needed to know every spell in the world! No one, not even his sweet apprentice was going to stop him! (how much longer do you want this to go on? I kind of find this a perfect place for the dream to end. What do you think?) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Olivia squeeled with glee. Taking a big bite out of the giant doughnut she looked like an adorable little kid eating their favorite snack. Her face now covered in the sweet jelly, there was no way she could finish the whole thing, but she would eat until she was full.
Listening she licked her stick fingers. It sounded like Hellie was in trouble! "Oh I can do that!" she smiled standing up and happily patting her tummy. "Thank you, ugh I'm sooo full!" she said feeling a little sick. Maybe she ate too much? "You can have the rest if you'd like! I'll go checky-check on everyone!" the fairy saluted cutely before giggling, circling around Mikey's head a few times, then flying out of the room and down into the bed rooms.
She wondered if she would get a room? Though with how small she was, Olivia could easily share a room or just randomly sleep in one. She decided to see the Siren first and felt the temperature change.
Along with her wardrobe. Now appearing in her summer form she blushed feeling a bit sheepish sporting the strange bikini. Out of all the things to wear? Why a bikini. Looking at her reflection in the water she pouted at her pudgy stomach. Hopefully she would burn enough calories from that doughnut or else she'd be in trouble. Getting too heavy to fly was a no-no in her books.
"Cessy! Cessssyyyyy!!" she called out, her tiny and cute voice echoing around the room. Hopefully the siren was alright!

It was then that he found himself waking up...
~~~
I had woken up a few minutes before, to the unfortunate sound of hissing. Ratchet was clinging to me like I was the best teddy ever, and I ran my fingers through his hair as I looked about. Hissing? Was I getting a visit from an angry Helena?
Carefully sitting up I looked around, before I found the source of the hissing. I quickly flicked my tail close to me and Ratchet. My room was full of snakes! All highly venomous ones too! They covered the floor and ground in piles and were squirming over each other as they slithered about.
.... He's getting bolder. I said as I hugged Ratchet to me protectively.
~~~
Olivia didn't see Cecelia as she hovered over the waters of Cecelia's room. She did, however, see a large dark shape swimming around in circles around a coral reef near the island. It was shaped like a shark... a very large one...
Though, there was no blood in the water... it looked like nothing had happened to Cecelia... yet.
~~~
Micheal meanwhile took the doughnut and stuffed the rest of it in his mouth as he too headed for the bedrooms. He saw Olivia fly into Cecelia's room, and he decided to step into a random room that had a odd looking symbol painted on it.
Looking about, he saw that the room, which had mainly stone furniture like a large slab for a bed, an empty stone wardrobe, and some other basic stuff. It was however, flooded with water. Blinking, confused, he looked around, scratching his head.OYYYY!! He heard, from atop the wardrobe. There was Estelle, perched on the stone wardrobe. Her hair was frizzing again in a afro, and she looked scared out of her skin. Git... Git... GIT THIS DEATH STUFF AWAY FROM MEH!!!

Olivia had her hands covering her mouth in complete shock! Was she supposed to have a shark in her room!? There was only one person she needed to tell and only one person strong enough and smart enough and big enough to deal with the shark!
Wasting no time she flew out of the room and began to look for Finita. Remembering that Micheal stated she was thawing Helena out, she headed for any bath room area she could find. Flying as fast as she could it was only a matter of time before she noticed steam pouring out from one of the rooms.
As she drew closer, the sound of running water could be heard. Flying into the room her summer outfit was still on and she was grateful for that. The room was starting to feel really hot and steamy.
"Finnie! Finnieeeee!!!" she cried in a panic noticing the large Minotaur. "You have to hurry!! Cessy's in dangerous-danger!!" she shouted gently pulling on the woman's horn.
"There's a sharkie-shark in her swimming home! Is there supposed to be one in there!?" she stated a bit confused, because obviously a fairy wouldn't know what kind of sea life Sirens could live with!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratchet felt groggy as the dream ended and he slowly awoke. Silvia was clinging to him and he head was somewhat pressed into her bosoms. Blushing he realized he had been holding her really close. This was really awkward. Yet before he could open his mouth the sound of hissing caught his attention. Ratchet sat in fear as he stared at the many venomous snakes slithering about. What were they doing here!? A few of them were getting closer and seemed to start fighting with one another. Silvia could feel him shaking in fear, but he had to save them both. This was no time to be afraid! "S-Silvia. Y-You can change into a giant fox, r-right? I-I hate to ask this but let me ride you out of here. I think we can outrun them! O-Once we're safe we'll have to contact Finita and possibly Helena. M-Maybe the Gorgon could talk to s-snakes!?" he sort of pleaded to her. Hopefully that would work, it was the only idea that popped into his head at the moment.

((It is good. I just hope I can keep up.)) Helena allowed herself to cry it out for a while, before wiping her tears and sitting up with a shaky sigh, recomposing herself. She felt a little better after crying, though there was too much hurt to have that simple act erase all of it. For now, she would try not to focus on it and tell Finita what happened. Her snakes took the gem from Finita’s hand, tickling her with their tongues in little snakey kisses as they curled back and settled down in their mistress’ hair. Helena’s hiss had lessened, as she regained her self-control and began to speak.
“Well…” she paused, frowning and then continued, “I’m not really sure where to start. I was cold from the building’s air conditioning and when I got to my room, I was ssso sleepy I passed out…against a tree” she remembered, piecing two and two together for why she’d woken up in such a weird place. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly at that, and she rubbed her face, wondering whether there were marks on it.
“When I slept, I was transported back to…back to some place that looked like a tropical rainforest that had buildings made of stone. I am the queen of the gorgons…my name is Sarakshi. A fox, a kitsune woman named Rakia appeared one day and brought tidings of destruction for my entire tribe. She became a dear friend. With her help, we designed and built a wall with magical wards to protect us against this coming threat. But my sson," she broke off, taking a breath to steady her emotions and quickly wiping a wrist over her eyes before continuing. “Excuse me…Ah, my…Re Sthart…never trusted Rakia and he changed all her wards. This trapped everyone inside. Then, when the threat did appear, it was one of my dearest and oldest friends. The Merlin Alfer. But he was not himself. Ssomething…dark…controlled him” her expression looked troubled and she wrapped her arms around herself, shaking her head.
“He destroyed every last one of my people and destroyed Re Sthart in front of my eyes. Rakia helped to fight him; she was incredible…I believe she escaped. My son called her an angel and during the battle, she…she changed somehow, I believe I saw six wings, wings of light…but I was ethereal by then.”
Realising that she probably was getting off track, Helena summed up the rest of the story. “The last I remember is being turned to stone with a bolt of magic from the staff the Merlin was wielding…and being smashed into millions of pieces…and seeing Rakia, in a higher form. I…it was too real to be a dream. I feel like something has come rushing back to me. Like these were memories that were lost, or sealed away. I know who I am now. I am the reincarnation of Saraskshi, reborn into this world. But I don’t…I don’t know why” she finished, closing her eyes and frowning. She sounded confused and tired, but also relieved to be able to tell someone all this. "I....I wish I never knew what it felt like to lose a child" She whispered, almost inaudibly. *** Corel fidgeted with the zipper on her bag nervously, glancing across as another girl stepped up to the counter beside her. She edged sideways a little bit, not highly noticeable, just enough to put a little more distance between her and the other girl, letting the other go first. She frowned at the other girl’s words lightly, feeling suspicious at the mention of the project. Mythos…it was a strange name for a volunteer project.
Butterflies whirled in her stomach when the receptionist looked up and spoke to them. She tried not to stare at her…assets. Geez, wasn’t that a little over the top? Why did they have to be that big? Reaching out, she took the contract the woman held out to her, nodding after she’d explained some about it. That is, until she mentioned getting hurt. Why would she mention something like that? Was it something dangerous? Her mum surely wouldn’t want her daughter to participate in something that she could get hurt doing. Right? “Um, s-so…” Corel started to ask, her voice soft and a little shaky, but then she lost her nerve.
“…Never mind!” She shook her head, walking away a few steps and fishing a pen out of her bag as she found a spot to read over the contract. No point arguing. She’d already had some arguments with her mother over this, and there were still rough patches between them because of it. If she walked out to tell her that she hadn’t gone through with it, she knew there’d be unpleasant questions to answer. Corel didn’t have the energy.
She had just about read through half of it when she heard someone walk towards her and Corel looked up at a friendly voice. She could feel her face warm almost instantly. She never really talked to boys. Why was this guy approaching her? Corel was glad her hair was long enough to hide her face and put at least the illusion of a barrier between them.
“Um…y-yeah” she replied shyly back to him, with another little nod. Why was he offering her things? It was weird to have some random stranger walk up and start chatting to her like this. She shifted her feet a little awkwardly, trying to stop her hands from shaking with nerves. “Uh…uh…no thank you. I’m fine.” There was a moment of silence, making her feel slightly flustered.
Not sure what to say after she declined his offer, she quickly continued. “D-do you work here? I’m Corel. Nice…nice to meet you…” she trailed off, looking quickly down at the clipboard with the contract on it. “N-no, I just…have to sign the contract. Just…haven’t yet”.

Finita sat with the shaken Gorgon and continued to hold her gently. She let the snakes take the gem lotus and listened carefully to the Gorgon as she spoke.
Well... I'm sorry to hear it. But... Wait... This Rakia... did she have red fur? Green eyes? It reminds me of the weird dreams I had this morning...
It was then that Olivia buzzed in, and started pulling at her horn. Helena's ears perked up and turned to listen closely to the Fairy.
Helena... Sarakshi... Whatever you choose your name to be. The others are in danger, it seems... I don't think the frigidness in your room was an accident. Do you feel okay enough to come help? Or do you want to stay and warm up some more?
Looking worried, the Minos rubbed her chin, her ears wiggling.
I need to get my axe...
~~~
Shikoba gave the contract back to the receptionist. She smiled and filed the contract away into a cabinet.
Shikoba leaned against thee counter as Alex came right up to the mousy woman in drab clothes. She watched them while trying to hide an amused look on her face. That was the most forward she'd ever seen someone be!
The receptionist smirked.
"Alex," She said. "Would you kindly escort these two to the observation room when they have both signed the contracts. There should be another person there already."
~~~
I looked at the snakes, and at Ratchet. Something was nagging at the back of my brain as well. I rubbed my forehead, as I slowly started to get a headache. I squinted my eyes as with a poof I was in fox form again.
I stood on the bed and lowered my front legs, giving Ratchet an easier way to get on my back.
As I waited I saw something in the air. I could see... yet not see... detect in some way, the way the air was moving about the room. My ears flicked.
Meanwhile, Ratchet would notice that my eyes were glowing white. A bit of blood was tricking from my nose, but there was no time to stem the bleeding now... The thing pestering in him told to hold on tight.

Ratchet gently climbed onto Silvia. "I'm sorry I have to ride you like this..." he said with regret in his voice. Though sooner or later the snakes would start attacking them. Bending down he gently wrapped his arms around her neck and held on as tight as he could, without choking her. Closing his eyes he felt something in the back of his mind warn him to keep his head tucked in. Lowering his head to were it was close to the top of hers he let out a nervous gulp. "O-Ok!" he said preparing for whatever she was going to do! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Olivia hoped that the Gorgon was alright. It was a good thing she slept in a protective flower herself! Though who was trying to hurt them all? The tiny fairy didn't understand.
Flying around in a panic she sat ontop of Finita's head trying to calm herself down. "Hurry!! Hurry!!" she said in a frenzy. It was clear that her emotions were kind of blown out of proportion now that she was a fairy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex smiled awkwardly at her. Stepping back a blush of embarrassment upon his face. This girl was very skid-dish it seemed, maybe he accidentally stepped into her personal bubble space?
"O-Oh sorry! I'm in such a hurry this morning I'm forgetting my manners!" he said to Corel. "Yes I work here, don't worry everything will be alright. I hope I didn't frighten you any." he said with sudden concern.
A sudden thought popped into his mind, glancing over at Shikoba, then Corel, he wondered if these two were destined to be here as well? Alex had only been here himself for about a day, yet what he witnessed made him think that there must have been some odd kind of destiny thing pulling all these people together.
Did he have a destiny and a role in this as well? Shaking off these thoughts, they were something to ponder on later, he turned his attention back to the nervous girl.
"Corel huh? That's a pretty name! Relax no one is going to hurt you. I'll be right here for you when you're done. If you're feeling nervous or scared hold onto me. I'll protect you." he said softly to her hoping to calm her nerves a little.

((Actually at the bottom of Mey's post her character did introduce herself. razz Also Alex glanced over at Shikoba. He may not know her name, but the readers do. It was just easier to write that, instead of "he looked over at the leaning girl and the timid girl." ^^; ))

Nuria nodded. " Yes. I have heard of him. I once spoke to his great grandmother in one of my previous lives. Very powerful magic runs in their blood." She smiled at what had been a very pleasant meeting. However, she knew something was happening to the mystical races and something dark was attempting to corrupt the stream of magic. " That said... I've heard of him, but never met him in person. However, I have sensed many great losses in the Grand Flow of magic, and something dark is out there tampering with it. I fear for we who rely on it for life and strength. It is an ill omen." Nuria shuddered at the possible explanations for this, for none of them were good.
