Weapon in hand Sammy felt more at ease in this world then ever before. Her memories where fragments, a name, a few faces, a few new faces seen only here. Still she had found an odd sense of purpose after sorting those memories out, after getting a head of who and what she was.
She was a fighter. Her new weapon proved it.
Walking into the misty fog she ventured the world pressing outward, seeking what the King spoke of, locked doors and paths to unfold. Hopefully one carved out by blade and strength.
Sammy would find no such thing walking this path however. Instead she would find a tree instead. One that spoke of a Legacy. Cocking her head slightly Sammy moved to take a seat on a stone eying the strange white tree to decide what she would do next.

Finally Sammy moved to the water, the request to move towards the lake almost unspoken as she slowly dragged her sword through the dirt.Humming quietly she finally reached the water, yet no one was there. The sword vanished from her hand, returned to her heart as she marched to the waters edge.
She could hear the voices but saw no one near the lake. Odder yet it sounded like something was coming from below the lake. Crouching down she slid her head into the water the voice becoming far more clear. A desire to save the children? Seeds and water. Above the water again she took to her knees scooping at the water, it was hard, one hand was made of bones and the other flesh. Not so easy for making a cup.
Finally a single hand of water made it to the tree splashing it on the roots. It took a moment but finally a small 5mm acorn dropped down to her hand. Rolling it side to side she inspected the seed before moving to plant it.

Again she found herself at the lake, the little whisps flickered and bounced around. It seemed this world needed more then water to solve the issues of the plants.
Looking into the water a bit more something was changing, the water was rolling and flickering shapes where forming and growing inside it. She reached for them and the memory they would hold.
----
'Welcome to Halloween'
The into was same as always. Sammy leaned back in her chair strumming a base guitar lazily as she watched the game load up. Finally she put the bass aside before leaning into the screen grabbing a headset.
"Hey Sidds you here?" Her fingers flickered across the keyboard getting herself started, her undead character appearing on screen. She had such a kick a** hair style. She almost wished her parents would let her dye her hair like that. Sammy had the Red, just not the white.
"Oh hey Sammy! Yeah I've been waiting on you, you're late again..." The other girl sighed heavily into her headset. "You're always taking forever." Sammy rolled her eyes as well, she started moving through the school grounds gathering where everyone else was. West was standing by, AFK, Shehk was playing with her outfits again, and Roland was hanging out on his alternate Sylvia.
"Look Siddie I know the Horsemen event is a big deal I just had to finish stuff at school." She tapped away at the keyboard shifting to another chat channel. "I umm I told you I would be late Sidd. I uh I tried to tell my parents about us."
The other girl squeaked in the background of her mic scrambling to do something, "I didn't have my headset in! What if my parents heard!?" Sammy blushed horribly on her own end snacking on a cheese stick. "I mean this could work right I mean us... maybe not today? But sometime down the road, I've been saving to visit you and all..."
Someone was pinging them both, another person joined the channel, "You two need to get the hell back into the group we've gota go, they're starting the event, hunters are warping in and the Horsemen are pushing the objective!"
The memory started to fade, she was slipping free of the memory and out of the water.

The sorting was happening, Sammy sat in the seat squirming side to side. No no no no she didn't want to be a Serpentarius. She wanted to be something better then the rest of her family. Everyone else she knew had been dark and twisted they had done terrible things. Far enough back she was sure someone was imprisoned for the crimes they did.
The hat knew it, was debating it, there was raw power. All of it untapped hel back by a moral compass. A strange idea that power shouldn't be flaunted but respected and kept in check.
"Just don't, please? I don't want to be like them, I want to be better I want to help I want to Protect, be a Defender." The hat chuckled softly. "Ahh so you think you can SAVE someone? Oh hohoho well that take's a bit of bravery doesn't it? LEO IT IS!"
The relief washed over her as she stood up taking off the hat, voices cheered around the hall from one table alone. She looked over seeing a few other students people she might befriend as the years went by. She was brave, brave to face her family and their history, to be more then she already was.
Sammy started to walk towards the table a slight skip in her step and a sway to her robes as she made her way towards a better future then her family before her.

The purple goggles snapped into place over her eyes.
Amity High vs Deus Ex Private.
Across from her in the rows stood her rival, Candace. The tall girl was dark, tan, and possibly the strongest swimmer ever produced by Deus Ex Private. The problem was the rivalry ran beyond schools. Candace had always had no issue calling her out. The term 'giant b***h' was thrown a few times when they met that mall. The taller girl only made a slight gesture, her eyes where on Sammy and it was clear this wasn't for the race, it was personal. For every time they debated, argued or disagreed.
"Pack it up Samantha, you don't have a damn chance. You look like a corpse your so small." Sammy only frowned harder. "I'm a b***h? Do you listen to your self sometimes?"
"RACERS TAKE YOUR MARK!"
Both girls where glaring at each other like hellfire and brimstone.
s**t was about to go down.
Just as the gun fired and the girls dove into the water did Sammy finally come to her senses pulling herself from the lake. A series of new memories, ones from places she never knew and would never likely see again swam inside her hear. When she walked away from the lake she found her tree had grown.

A bone finger made of shadows reached out to gently stroke the trees branches smiling at the small thing, something about it made her oddly happy. The voice calling softly to her suggested there was one last task to be done.
Turning from her tree she wandered to the lake, giving pause at how different it suddenly looked. A castle far off seemed to be the source of all it's water, so many smaller pools around it all of them beckoning her as the lake explained her last task. The nearest pool, a darker color seemed to reach out for her. Careful like she was the first time, she used one hand to gather some of the water before moving back to her tree. What little she brought was indeed enough as the tree grew once more, a lone red fruit, an apple emerging on its branches.
The color Red.
The name Red.
It came to mind, the memories of her betrayal to the dragon, the call to arms, the guilt that lingered after. The on going struggle to earn her trust again, to amend what she had done wrong. The fight with Siddie, the distance Shehk had put between them.
Names and fleeting faces filled with regret and disappointment, hollow and empty. Sammy could only kneel before her tree and wonder, was she really satisfied?
