Jadecrystal and her Familiar Spirit, FirenightJadecrystal stared hollowly at the ground, slumped against a rock in the rocky meadow.
"I couldn't save any souls..." fell from her mouth in a broken whisper. Holy Beasts were meant to ferry souls in any matter possible, and for Jadecrystal this was what she did. She was the transport for those who needed it.
And she'd failed.Jade... was a sound heard only by the horse-like creature that it talked about. The sound in question was emanating from the mouth of a flame-eyed back-legs-missing levitating cat, only heard by Jadecrystal. It wasn't your fault. They were taken by such utter blackness that nobody could truely rid them of it."But I failed."
It wasn't a question, but a statement.
Jadecrystal began to cry, reflecting on what she'd done. "I saved two children who are just as likely to be Soulshattered as anyone else, when I could have fought, could have taken down some with the Taint, could have-"
And she broke off, sobbing again, as her legs failed to hold her up. The gold roped over the young soul-carrier made a ringing sound...
"What good is a keybearer if she does not unlock the hearts?"

 Shaeleria was dozing off behind a large rock surrounded by small white flowers. She was napping pleasantly when she was awoken by the sound of someone crying. Eyes half-open, the little purity homunculus slowly rose to her feet. She shook her head and rubbed her eyes, blinked a few times to get the world in focus, then looked left and right. Nothing. Clambering up the rock, she got a good view of the meadow. Eyes still blurry, she yawned and panned the meadow, she could still hear crying. She managed to make out a form, aqua and gold, with a small black mass next to it. Cocking her head, she slid down from the rock and bounded towards it. She never really feared anything, always believing all spirits and beasts to be just as kind as her. Instead, she ran straight for the two, wondering why the large one was crying.

Jadecrystal's grief was so great that she didn't notice the small red Homunculus before they were almost touching. "Go away," she whispered in a broken tone, "I'm worthless. You can't understand..."
And with that, she turned her head away, the lovely teal mane muffling the heart-wrenching sobs.
Jade, it wasn't... whatever Firenight had to say was forgotten as her bonded began to cry again. The spirit grabbed one of the gold decorations and was temporarily reformed into a real creature, but her look was one of emotional pain...

Shae's eyes softened and she pouted a little. Worthless? Surely no spirit was worthless...Her small hands moved to stroke the holy beast's mane. It was soft and silky-smooth. It and the jewels that adorned it glistened like a teal ocean at sunset. Truly the entire creature-spirit was a beautiful thing to behold. She smiled softly, hoping her gentle petting would calm the holy beast down. "My name is Shaeleria, may I ask what is yours? And why you are crying?"

"I'm Jadecrystal," she sniffled, partly calmed by the sweet petting. "I was around when the Tainted attacked the village, and I didn't even try to save any of them, all I did was fight. And I didn't..."
The crystalline eyes looked broken as Jadecrystal lifted her head a bit, the mane falling out of the way.
Firenight snuggled up against her bonded, flame-colored eyes desperate. Help her...she doesn't realize, didn't know, was mentally projected to the purity homunculus (although it sounded a bit garbled, as if some of it was blocked out. She just didn't have good luck, really).

Shae looked at the holy beast, and smiled. She had a lovely name, just as majestic as her appearance. Tainted? Village? Shae lived in the forest meadows all her life, which wasn't long to begin with. She didn't know what Jadecrystal was even talking about, but she could see such sadness and despair in her eyes and voice. Then she heard another voice, inside of her head somehow. She looked around, and found the black mass was there. How rude that she didn't notice it! It looked like a black cat... She smiled at it and listened, eyes furrowed though. Something horrible must have happened, and although she wasn't there to know what happened, although she couldn't fully understand, she had to help this holy beast. "Even flowers have to die sometimes. On hot, blistery days they can wither. Sometimes there are too many to tend to, or maybe you tried to find the source of the problem and stop it, but couldn't save the flowers....Maybe I'm not making sense, but it isn't your fault. Fighting for them is just as noble."

"You really think so?" Jadecrystal asked quietly, finally stopping the crying. "It's just...that I could have helped them. And they were saved from their corruption, and it wasn't me who did it, I just sat there and watched them fight...and I couldn't carry the ones who were soulcrushed."
The Lost Village was attacked by people who had corrupted souls...and it broke her. Please help her, the spirit projected, reforming herself into the shape of a lovely-tailed Twilif, black with fire-colored eyes and a set of gold bracelets.

((Thank you)) Character: Chii-From Chobits Chi is a recently-awakened Spiritkind human.
I walk around aimlessly, looking around with an aching head. "Where am I?"

((Sorry, Sango. You can make her a spiritkind, but she has to be totally human (except a ghost)...so yeah. Make her into a recently-awakened Spiritkind human, and you're good.))

Firenight, in her Twilif form, darted over to the ghost. Silly, they can't hear or see you unless you try. You're recently awakened, aren't you? Just...stay away. My Bonded isn't above sending you for rebirth. This world is named Moonlore, and you are not known here.
She took a second to reform into the shape of a tiny black-haired human girl, with long silken hair and golden-red eyes, wearing golden bracelets. You may be...what I once was, human, but you will not be safe here. There are creatures that will rebirth your soul. You have to Shift into a form that can be accepted as a Bonded spirit to that homunculus...try a cat.
With that, she shifted into the form most commonly seen, an insubstantial cat with eyes of flame.

"Soulcrushed?" whispered Shaeleria. She wasn't entirely clear on the concept, but she would do her best to understand. The mere connotation of the word was enough to send shivers down her spine. She shook her head and continued to stroke the holy beast's mane. She also listened to the black cat's words in her head. "You shouldn't worry about carrying the burden of all. It isn't your fault that someone else saved them. You should be happy any were saved at all, regardless of your part. It's true, you could have helped, but is it guaranteed that it would have worked? And if you didn't help fight, what if whatever you were fighting managed to hurt more spiritkind? Everyone plays their part and what is passed is past. Just remember, next time you'll do better. I'm sure of it." she said to JadeCrystal. She was beginning to think her consolation wasn't doing much at all..but she would be in the very same boat if she let that get to her..if she felt like she couldn't make the holy beast feel better..so she would have to keep trying.
