Sivera gave a small sweatdrop seeing the boy poke Jax."Its not very nice to do that to a spirit you know?Its very disrepectful....."Sivera was blushing with nervousness,as she squeezed the bottom of her white dress.Oh I wish brother was here.....I-I cant do it alone...If i dont Haruna will just make it worse on brother and I..Oh no....what am I going to do?Sivera was so nervous the girl's eyes started to swell up with tears.She tried to keep herself from crying...,by turning around and facing the other way.Why......am I crying? Oh no.......they're gonna think Im a baby.She tried to pull herself together and turned back around,a sign of a tear drop here and there.It was true......she was truely afraid.She had never fought without her brother before..Then using a stone she pulled out of her pocket she closed her eyes and said some wierd words.She then walked shyly over to the boy and placed her hand on his."Nice to meet you Gordon sorry for the trouble.I would want it to be fair so I cast a spell that ables you to touch me."

Gordon looked at her funny. " He y your crying. Hey if you don't want to fight then don't. I'll just need to know why i am giving my family info. I don't want to hurt you but i don't want anyone hurting my family. I'm sure you understand if you have family of your own" Gordon said looking at her.
Jax looked at Gordon. This was the biggest between Gordon and Shepard. Shepard would start the fight right now but Gordon saw the discomfort and knew the fight would be forced. It amazing that Gordon and Shepard had been friends all these years.

Sivera got all ruffled by this,and didnt want to edmit she was crying."I-I-I was.....not!"She blushed and gave them a tough girl look,wanting them to know she could handle herself."The.....only family I have....is my brother..Then again.....the people of the kingdom...though I would call them family."She sighed and flopped down on the ground landing on her knees.She kept her head down....as a tear rolled down her cheek to the ground.As the tear fell a beautiful rose grew where it had landed.Sivera still kept her head down looking at the rose."What will I do....? You dont know what Haruna will do to us if I dont obey.If I dont do what Im asked then brother suffers to."In a smaller voice sort of said to herself,"Ill......never get home now.."She lifted her head up to look up at Jax,Shepard,and Gordon.She picked the rose and held it out to Shepard."Gordon....are you sure you and Shepard are friends?Its just that you two seem so......different."She smiled while standing in front of Shepard blushing."No need to be so grumpy master...here take the rose."Sivera had great respect for Jax and Shepard,to her they were her kinder version of Haruna."Its okay.....we dont have to fight....Though when brother is around I would be so glad to see what you can do."

Jax took the rose smiling at her. He went to go look at Shepard but then stared at Gordon who's hands seemed to be clenched. He thought for a minute his hair turned red. Jax shook his head and looked at Gordon again only to see his hair was normal. Gordon was clearly angry though. " Me and Shepard are friends...because we just are. I cant explain it. But Tell me...who is this person who is hurting you? I want to meet her" Gordon said looking at the ghost girl.

Sivera just gave a weak smile shaking your head."If you wish to meet her you must ask your friends.If....,if she ever found out that I told someone she was hurting us then my brother and I......would be killed."At this horrible thought she was smiling."Though...ghosts are already dead right?So it makes it that much more terrible.What I mean is....are souls will be reaped and thrown into some unknown...abis worse then hell."She sat back down trying to smile through the whole conversation."My brother and I were once part of a royal family...,until someone stole a precious object from my father.Apparently this object was more important than...our mother.While in a rage searching for an object he cast a spell on her throwing her soul away.Some say it was no spell at all,but....that it was Haruna the grim reaper.At that time Haruna betrayed my father and kidnapped my brother and I.Later on,....my father became upset and sent his army out to look for us.Oh yes,he found us and Haruna then paniced.She.....reaped the king of the underworlds soul...killing him instantly.So you see there is a way to kill spirits...After that Haruna took us into hidding and forced my brother to sign a contract.Saying that we were bound to her until otherwise.Then...the head of the soul society said they would take away her powers if she didnt return the heirs to the throne.They made a deal....if my brother and I completed out training under her then she would let us go.The society agreed to it so here we are stuck with her..."She smiled and walked over to Jax smiling at him sweetly."I was so glad when I met you...i thought I finally had a friend.Now that Haruna knows that I well.....,"Shestared to blsuh making her white face turn a bright pink.She choked on the words for a minute trying to make them come out.They came alright but in a voice frail and shy."like you..she will try to hurt you.So thats why she is trying to get information on Gordon.I guess she thinks she can get ahold of the something she lost though you...."

Gordon's looked up. " She...she wouldn't! Shepard where did she go? If she wanted info so bad she should have saw me! I want to bring her here. I want to fight her. I know I can win. i just do. I won't stand for someone forcing people to do what they want!" Gordon said angerily. Jax lookewd at him.
" This could be what finally pushes him over the edge. Something like this could transform him..like hios father" Jax said staring in awe. He looked at the ghost girl his expression changed. Shepard growled as he noticed this to. He would hate to see Gordon transform. Everytime Shepard gainied power Gordon always pulled ten steps ahead. This could happen again if Gordon was able to transform. He sighed and sat back down.

Sivera ran over to Gordon and slung herself onto his leg."No you mus'nt fight her! She could reap your soul! Please dont do it!Being a lost soul I cant go to heaven though you still have a change! PLEASE DONT FIGHT HER!!"Sivera was practically screaming at the top of her lungs.She really didnt want him to fight her.Her voice lowered as a sad expression spread across her face."Please...Im fine my brother and I can take are of ourselfs."She let go and just stared up at Gordon,who even though was thirteen was at least a foot taller than her.She kept shaking her head to show it was a bad idea and once again looked like she was about to cry.

Gordon looked down. " If I lose my soul then so be it. I'll make her an offer she couldn't be able to refuse. I know she won't. Guys will you be willing to put your souls on the line to help them?" Gordon asked looking at Jax and Shepard. Jax was taken aback a bit. After awhile he nodded his head.
" Yes. I would. To help them..." Jax said smiling. Shepard looked at Gordon long and hard. He smiled and shook his head yes. Gordon smiled and gave a thumbs up.
" We are all willing to help you and your brother! I will fight her. And I will win" he said smiling at her.

Sivera kept on shaking her head no as tears rolled down her face.She ran to Jax and embraced him shaking him back and forth."No No No! Please Dont do it! "She was screaming as tears rolled down her face,she let go and pushed back looking at them all."Please.....dont do it.Im not worth it....you deserve to live..Me Im already dead....,you dont know what I would give to be alive again."Her eyes started to glow as the wind around her feet picked up.Leafs and twigs blew everywhere,kicking up dust and throwing it around in the air."I wont let you....destroy yourself.Now stop.....before I get serious..."She sounded really sad and angry all at the same time.She truely didnt want them to risk their lives for her.She lifted her hand into the air,as a rocks lifted from the ground.She then through her hand at the air sending the rocks flying at them.All this time.....tears still rolling down her face."I WONT LET YOU DO IT!"

As the two epnguins stepped back in horror from the mutation they had caused on the boy, they hadn't noticed the other person, prepairing to attack them. One turned, as it heard foorsteps but saw nothing. As they scooted back to their othe rpenguin pal, they heard it. Turning around in horror they jumped back as the pillar of heata nd flame soared over the landscape.
"DOOD"
"DOOD"
".. doood...."
As the flames errupted over them a small blizzard blue seal manifested apon the ground, infront of the penguins and the man. As the flames engulfed the area. And with the words of the girl, the flames were gone, but what ahd been lying udner them is not what msot would expect.
There stood a boy, of a small frame wrapped in a balck coat witha type of fur collar and sleeves along with baggy, black pants. His eyes were barely opened as his neck length blonde hair lightly blew in the wind. A blue wall surronded his form, the penguins and the man.
"...I thought I heard you three"

Wha-... what the hell is going on? Razzer asked himself, looking with teared eyes at the ground on which he lay. Forced to cringe into a ball by the intense pain he was enduring, he couldn't move save for his ragged breathing and slow, deliberate blinks.
Suddenly the ground beside him began to light up orange, and the mage felt the temperature rising. But the orange quickly turned to a cool blue, and the temperature dropped with it. He heard the sound of flames licking an inpenetrable wall, and then silence. Out of nowhere a shadow was cast over Razzer. Whose? It couldn't have been any of the penguins - they were too small.
Willing, forcing himself to move, Razzer turned his head to look towards the origin of the shadow. A sharp pain hit him, and he gasped out. But the pain finally began to let up. He had a bit more movement now and he uncurled his form, opting instead for a half-laying down, half-on hands and knees position.
Who the hell is this? Razzer asked, looking at the new interloper. He didn't look very old... his blond hair rustled in the wind, he donned a black, fur-adorned coat.
Trying once more to stand up, Razzer managed to get to a crouching-sitting position, sitting on his heels. Still breathing rather heavily, he surveyed the odd scene.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked, to both the strange penguins and the new boy.

She shook her hand, hissing slightly at her luck. "Dammit!" Her words were no longer poetic and like the words of an angel, but harsh and normal-sounding.
Who was this guy? And how had he appeared from nowhere? And when the hell had that wall been there! "Oi! You! Not you with the horns, you with the penguins!" and she stomped her foot on the ground. "Where the hell do you get off going around with dagger throwing, idiotic, 'Dude'-repeating penguins?!" her fists were clenched as her strange-looking tattoo on the back of her left hand glowed with a maroon prescence, and her soft, white-blonde hair was tossed in front of her face as the wind blew. She took a relaxed, but yet tense stance with one leg slightly behind her in a crouch as though her remark made but moments before was gone and done with the past.
"... Ditto the question the kid with the horns asked. Are you the 'Vincent' that those penguins were talking about?" as she spoke, more words of incantation burned at her lips, the mere thought of casting them willing her to say them aloud. I won't. I'll keep control no matter what the willpower of those words wills me to... Her body tensed more. If I lose control.. Morpheus will know.. and he'll come and find me. The pact will be broken, and I'll die, leaving everyone I love to be harmed... she felt like clenching her fists. I'll protect myself if necessary, but I'll be damned before that will happen!
She allowed herself to look past the man who conjured the blue walls, to the rather injured looking man behind him and her stance relaxed as she had a momentary lapse of concentration and the words faded from her throat and the markings on her hand melted back into her skin rather than practically standing off of it. "Hey, are you okay?"

After listening to the questions shot at him from both people he opened his eyes a little more. they revealed a unusual wintery, slush blue. He looked at both of them and the began to speak, in a soft yet firm manner.
"First off, my name is Hawthorn, not Vincent. Me and my penguins are from a different dimension that borders on the lines of this one. The penguins are my obviously, not-so-bright, vassals"
He turned and looked at them. Seeing two with their mouth hung open and the other still on the ground, sword still sitting in his forehead. He sighed and placed his head in his hand, rubbing his temples. He then turned and looked at the man and his obviously, not so natural horns and tail.
"They seemed to have tried to sacrafice you to summon a demon and ... failed." He said as he brought down the blue barrier surronding them. Witha small glare to the other two penguins, he shuffled over to the man. He bent down on his feet and looked at him, asking him the same question as the girl.
"I'm sorry, are you okay? and you too?" He said softly, looking at the man first and then the girl. His face stayed firm and almost, emotionless.
Meanwhile the penguins slowly back up. Moving past there collapsed penguin pal. They began to move away, dragging their pal by his feet.
"Don't go anywhere you three..." Hawthorn said still looking at the man.

As he completely opened his eyes, her nearly opposite hued topaz and hazel eyes widened softly as she resisted blushing. This... This Hawthorn guy...
He was.. pretty. She didn't know how to put it otherwise. Shuffling slightly and a small pink rushing to her face as he asked his question, she bit her lip, hiding her summoning hand behind her back and flexing it... painfully. Her face remained straight, but the pink disappeared and her thoughts began racing. Had she really burned her palm that badly?
"I-I-I'm fine.. don't worry about me." her eyes were still fixated on Hawthorn whom she examined tenderly, taking in his every movement even though he wasn't facing towards her now. She knew that she was having a very much crush-at-first-sight moment on him, which definately made her human. . . Or much more so than Morpheus would have still liked to believe. Her hand burned with another sensation as her tattoo glowed and the girl put up defenses around her mind as someone tried to enter it.
She wasn't going to take any chances as to who it might be.
If anyone... ANYONE there caught wind of where she'd taken herself of her own free will too, then she was .. in trouble, to say the least. I at least owe her an apology for wrecking her life.. she reasoned silently. I'll apologize, get reacquainted, and be back before nightfall. No problem and then Hawthorn spoke again and her thoughts were all for him. She stepped towards the two, and then got a closer look at the man behind him.
"Wow... I don't mean to be rude, but did you have horns .. " she paused, "Or a tail before this... event?" the girl tilted her head slightly, both arms behind her back as she slowly and agonizingly still flexed her left hand. She couldn't even bear herself to look at the damage.

"Oi!" A girl - who had presumably thrown the fire at Razzer and the penguins - yelled. "You! Not you with the horns, you with the penguins!" Razzer stopped. "H-horns?" he asked quietly. One hand went up to his skull, where he had felt the most blinding pain. Instead of his hand sliding through his hair, it hit something hard. His fingers followed it up, and it ended in a sharp point. There was another one just beside it.
"Jesus..." he muttered. What the hell kind of freak am I turning into?!
The girl then looked towards him. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked. He didn't know whether to shake his head or nod. The man was about to reply, but the stranger with the blonde hair spoke.
He said matter-of-factly that his name was Hawthorn and not Vincent, as the girl had assumed. The boy turned to Razzer and looked him over. "They seemed to have tried to sacrafice you to summon a demon and ... failed."
Hawthorn dispelled the blue barrier and glared at the penguins. Moving over towards Razzer, he crouched down. He took Razzer by surprise when he asked him if he was alright. But it wasn't the question that surprised him - it was the boy's voice. Who exactly was this person?
"I... I think I'm fine." he responded, beginning to stand up. Why did he have horns? It was bad enough having this damned tentacle, now I've got horns!
He stumbled sideways, but kept his balance. "Tell me what's going on." he said forcefully. His eyes flickered to a fountain a few feet away. There was enough water in it - he could use it if needs be.
"Wow... I don't mean to be rude, but did you have horns .. or a tail before this... event?" The girl asked suddenly. He looked up at her. "The... tail, yes. But not these... things." What business was it for her to ask that question? It's not like she could help or anything.
