Lore: Forgotten Enemies

Soran staggered backwards as the last person he was ready to see came bolting around the corner into him. He shook his head to clear it from the impact and looked at her like she had three eyes.

"Bugger-- S-Soran!" She stammered as she rubbed her arm. She looked at him and blushed. "S-sorry..I was..er.. chasing...s-something..."

The rogue looked around them for anything that might warrant pursuit, but didn't see anything. Finally a squeak brought his attention to a little black raindrop-thing sitting on the ground. "This?" he asked, kneeling in front of it and inspecting it.

The blob squeaked again and dashed behind a rock. "Yes!" Mizuki half growled half whispered. She dove after it behind the rock, but managed to cut her hand on it. She flinched but gripped the blob firmly in her hands.

"Got ya!" she declared and sat back on the ground, glaring at it. "This," she started telling Soran but keeping her eyes on the thing. "I found on my pillow after I took a short nap."

The blob squeaked.

Soran came to Mizuki's side and looked down at the strange thing. He saw the blood on her hand and wanted the creature away from it, not sure what it might be capable of. His hands slipped between hers and scooped the thing up. He looked at it critically. "Some kind of magic," he said, and it squeaked at him almost indignantly. "Maybe it thinks it's a person.".

Mizuki blushed as their hands touched, then she looked at her hand and saw the small running of blood on it. She frowned but got to her feet and started to "clean" her wound by putting it in her mouth.

The blob looked at Soran and started to squeak again in protest, as if Soran was doing an indecency to it. "Maybe," Mizuki said as she sucked on the cut on the side of her hand. "When it jumped out of my hands I didn't want to take any chances in case it was a spy or something."

Soran took his two fingers and squeezed the blob, squishing it slightly and watching it return to its normal shape, not paying much attention to its squeals of protest. "Unless it's a very poor spy, I doubt it would sit around on your pillow while you slept," he commented.

The blob squeaked more and more as Soran pinched it. It formed a mouth and bit one of Soran's fingers.

Soran felt a tiny prick as the creature nipped him. Not particularly alarmed by the pain, his reaction was to reach up with his other hand and flick the creature sharply, firing it down into the ground at his feet. "I could step on it," mused Soran, intrigued by the creature that was wobbling in a dizzy circle.

Mizuki stopped sucking on her hand and stopped Soran from stepping on it. Even if it was a suspect, wouldn't it be smarter not to smoosh it? The blob squeaked at Mizuki in approval and dashed behind her away from Soran. It made the sound of someong sticking their tounge out.

Mizuki giggled despite herself. She kneeled down and picked up the creature gently, looking at it.

"What are you? A spy?" she asked it. The blob shook it's head, showing that it understood them.

Siren readjusted Blade in her arms, her arm under his rump and other hand on his back so that he was sitting against her, his head looking back over her shoulder.

It was more than ammuzing watching Mizuki chase after the blob, and Rai had already been distracted into forcing Tensho to play with her, also amusing, so she sat down on the porch with Blade cooing over her shoulder.

Suddenly she felt a painfull pinch on her wings. Looking over at Blade, he had one of her large black feathers clamped in his hand, waving it about happily.

"Ahh! Not good not good! Other people's wings are not toys silly!" She moved her hand up and lightly held blade's wing out extended, noting their size and wondering when he would start using them more, even if not to fly yet. She was pleased just to feel the tug of him trying to move them against her pull though, since she had seriously wondered in the beginning if the child would ever be able to fly, only being half angel. She was probably setting a bad example for him, staying on the ground as much as she did.

Surprised that the strange substance understood human speech, Soran looked at it thoughtfully. It didn't seem t be running away, either. But he know little about magic, except to avoid it wherever possible, and could not begin to guess what this was. Ambrosia's tear-strained voice called up in his memory for no reason he could explain, and he found himself staring warily at the woman in front of him before he glanced pointedly away. He looked at the blob, to avoid look at her, because he was supposed to be looking at the blob. What the heck was wrong with him?

Jhaptal thought of it for a moment, then switched his personality to fit this scenario. "Oh fair princess! I, Sir Tensho of Ongoreth have come to save you!" he called up to the top of the tree. "Where is this foul witch Boomba so that I may smite her?"

Mizuki chewed on one of her finger nails as she tried to figure out the creature. The blob began to quiver in her hand and made a purring noise.

"Well, I think it likes me." she pointed out jokingly. She looked at Soran who was making a point to stare at the blob. Again there was something serious on his mind.

"Um," she started cautiously, "Is there something on your mind?"

"No," he replied, too quickly, forcing his eyes up from the black thing to look at her. Looking at her didn't help. His cold expression masked the real thoughts going on behind it, but she probably knew that by now. Or, he thought she knew. If anyone understood the way he acted, he thought it was her. But if she didn't...he thought of Grye, and her complacency to his courtship. He had been killed, but if not... would she have really married him? Would she do the same now?

He wanted to be sure. He wanted her to know what he thought... But the thought alarmed him, enough to make his gut knot as he found himself trapped into looking into her face. He was giving her a strange look without meaning to, his tension coming out unintentionally as an intimidating glare.

Rai screamed as if something was really behind Tensho. "She's behind you! And she has a big evil pink dragon!" Rai clung to a limb. "Becareful he breaths fire!"

Rai jumped out of the tree, falling on the ground with a thud and getting back up again. She screamed again and ran around the tree to hide from the invisible witch Boomba and her frightening pink evil dragon.

"I shall slay it!" Tensho bravely declared. He whipped out his imaginary sword, not wanting to play with the kodachi at his waist, and made some hacking motions at the thin air. "The pink dragon has been vanquished. Now it is the foul witch's turn." He charged forward and then threw himself back as if he was hit. "Her magic is strong!"
