Your welcome! Fade! X3

Hi Fade and Blood! :D

Hi Shadow! :D

Did you get any sleep last night? xD

Lol a little bit Blood x'D

How are you doing today Fade? How was your birthday?
^-^

How are you doing today Blood? :)

Lol some is better than none i guess xD
I'm just sketching Ai, I wanna draw the sweet bean, but she hates me in her human form xD

I'm a little tired, got little sleep, my happy time started this morning

Lol she is a cutie, you can do her hair however you like to @Blood

Hi Shadow and Blood!!

I'm doing well! My birthday was very enjoyable! (wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for all the gifts and wishes! x3)
How about you? How was your hiking trip?

Draw her as a chibi; I find that a ton easier when I'm struggling with humans

I'll probably play with Ai's bangs, they're giving me the hardest time

Hi Fade! Glad your birthday was enjoyable!

Thanks Blood! x)

I could do a couple chibi's xD

They're fun XD You both have been inspirations to me when it comes to chibi requests

That awesome Fade! I'm glad you had a good day! X3

It was nice, cold but beautiful x3
I woke up with ice covering my sleeping bag because my brother forgot to put the tarp over the back of the pickup truck so it got a little Chile, and we weren't able to hike we're we were hoping because the roads to the place where covered in ice and my brother truck doesn't have four-wheel drive, so we just did a small walk around the lake then came home :)

My chibi's are trash xD
I don't even try, they're just quick and lazy

Yes!! chibi's I love both your guys Chibi! X3

Oh no! X'D I don't know if I'd tolerate weather that cold. At least you got to go out and enjoy nature! x)

I love your chibi's though Blood! You make them have so much personality x3

So what if they don't look great? (but I personally think they do) You're supposed to do them for fun!

Hmmm

Oooooh this is pretty

You started your happy time, Blood? That stinks so much TwT

I'm just waking up from a nap X'D

Mine look terrible but I just like doodling them x'D expecially Oblivion for some reason

Oblivion has such a fat head in your chibi of him xD

I did Lilly, it does uwu
Anywho! Hi Lilly! How are ya?

Lol I did that last one half a sleep, I don't even know why I did it, but when was more awake I was like oh...he got a really big head x'D

Hi Lilly! :D

Hey Lilly!! x)

I love your chibi drawings Shadow, they're not terrible xD

Note to self don't draw chibi's when sleepy :"D

I do little black dots or ovals for my chibi eyes, I'm lazy xD

I'm going get something to eat real quick with my brother brb

The dot eyes are cute XD

Ok Shadow!

Imma nap

I've tried to draw chibis before.
But when I get done I'm like, 'That's not a chibi. That's a normal drawing of a character. What are you talking about.'

...So apparently, I don't know how to chibi.

But you guys draw some really adorable ones! I love seeing 'em. x3

Hi Fluffy lol

I'm doin ok Blood, I've noticed my nieces and nephew are sniffling, which I think explains why I've felt more snotty today. And since I just took a nap, I won't be surprised if I have loads of typos :D

Oh, and hi everyone X'D

Hi Lilly!! Just make sure their head and eyes are unnaturally big. XD

Hey, Blood, Lilly, Fade, and... Shadow, for whenever she gets back. xD

Hi Fluffy! :D Ooh I've been wondering, have you beaten MHStories yet?

*floats in background admiring cover*

Pizza!

@Lilly
Nooo, I think I'm close, but I'm just taking my sweet time at Mt. Celion, upgrading stuff and probably over-preparing. <xD

*throws magic rock at Radiant*

Pizza??

PIZZA!

I think I need a nap too. X'D I might brb for a few

Im eating pizza xD

*is knocked unconscious*

What a magical rock

What on earth do you guys do that makes you tired enough to sleep in the daytime?

Ooh yeah, you're close, but I don't blame you. Kili will mess you up if you're not prepared X'D

Uhh, being in the presence of others, and chores. XD Plus I may have stayed up till 2:30 last night

I'm always tired, but I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of taking naps...

Work

But if you sleep in the day, you won't be able to sleep at night. XD Unless you're planning to stay up all night RPing.

Which commonly happens, right?

I'mma sicko who has to watch kids, that's the only reason I took a nap today XP

... It was an awesome nap.

Naps are awesome

Brb got to dive be home in a bit

I don’t know if I’ll be able to rp today. I’m sorry.

Alright Shadow!

Aww, you don't have to apologize Turtlee, are you not feeling well again? :/

Well, this silence is awkward

Wow, I had no idea it was already 3:00 where I am.

Hey everyone.

Hey Galaxy! :D

Hey, Galaxy!

Hello Lilly and Fluffy :D
It got pretty quiet all of a sudden, huh?

It sure did 'XD

I'm home

When your brother make you stop at the c camping Sporting Store xp

Hi Galaxy!

Welcome back Shadow! :D

aww ok Turtlee, you don't have to apologize, I hope everything's okay

Thanks Lilly! X3

Everyone probably took a nap now :'D

Welcome back, Shadow!

Thank you Fluffy!

Hey, at least we can continue with Fiona, Terra, Eater and Boo X'D

Sooooooo~ who all here? And who we missing?

That true Lilly

Fade's probably taking a nap, Blood's MIA, Turtlee's not feeling well, Galaxy's a ninja

I'm not MIA, I'm the real niiinja

And I was somewhat distracted for a bit, but I'm back now. xP

Well we could start that off again Lilly and Fluffy :)

I could do a little for Crimson with Crystal, Alex is K.O until she patched-up)

Oooooohhh NinjaBlood

I guess I'm ready to start whenever you guys are. :>

I can't use Hiiro
I gotta wait for Fade to get back to use Blue
and Alex is KO

I can't start :P

Alright then, maybe we should go in the order of Shadow, Lilly, Fluffy? Since I posted last for Eater, but Fiona's waiting for Terra. Shadow can go first, maybe?

(Back! Hi Galaxy and Turtlee! Sorry you aren't doing well, Turtlee - we're open to talk to if you need. ^^)

Oh and Blood, if I'm not around and you're stuck, you're always welcome to pull your character out of the current interaction. :)

(There ya go, Blood, now you can start XD )

(Welcome back, Fade!)

Boo was trying to figure out how the lady could eat so many different things and not get a tummy ache " that lady must have a really big mouth to fit all that..." The Dragonette eyes widen "wait what?! She ate a spider what did the spider ever do to her?" She asked concerned for the creepy crawlies because she really liked things like that

Nah it's fine @Fade
I like spacing out :P

Blue froze as three Nightmares crossed his path, "You lot are some ugly lookin' dogs" he snickers as he spreads his wings and takes to the sky, "Ugh! Of course I had to just use Kyro...I could Awaken, that's kinda overkill though" he rambles to himself and summons his halberd.

"Come on, show me what a Nightmare can do!" Blue taunts, twirling his weapon as he grins down at them.

(Lol ok Blood xD
Thanks Fluffy!)

Crimson was on Edge with Malice around but he switched his ears when Crystals stared her song, the Melody was soothing to the Dragon and he relaxed sitting on his haunches, he didn't realize the Nightmare left and didn't care ether

(who trun was it for Eira, Catch, purity?)

(welcome back Fade! )

The three Nightmare exchanged sneers and chortles, then broke apart. Two sank into the shadows and vanished from sight, while the other shook its head out, conjuring a sparkling orange flame down its spine. It threw back its head and roared a challenge, dark eyes, fixing on Blue.

(I have no clue. X'D I'll go check)

(And thanks Shadow!)

15 Oct, 2017, 6:47 pm
But before Purity's mop could meet its target, the Pyro's flaming chains leaped into her path and smacked her away. Teeth bared in a snarl, the Nightmare advanced her way.

Eira kept her hands on the wall, allowing her ice magic to restore what the Frost Nightmare had damaged. Panting, she stepped away, then headed for the opposite side of the igloo. //Maybe I can slip out this way...// She touched the ice wall with one hand, commanding it to open in her mind, but only more ice spread over it. //I can't do it?// she thought as she stepped back and stared at the barrier, //Come to think of it...I've always created ice but never controlled it. So I'm stuck here until this melts or it breaks...//

Blue watched the two disappear, keeping an eye on the one still visible for now. "Well I challenged you first, you can't challenge me back" he rolls his eyes and begins to chant, raising up his halberd above his head as he did. Blue pitched his weapon down on the Nightmare, it came hurtling towards the creature like a bolt of lightning.

( ah thanks, Fade!

I don't know what to do with Catch he kinda out of it at the moment ':D )

(I made Mac n' Cheese. Anyone want some?)

(No Shadow! I guess you'll have to hold him back util the fight is over. xD)

(Ew nooo)

(Oops meant Np)

(Oh, and yes Fade, I did memorize the song about the old lady X'D )

---

Terradream listens to Fiona's suggestion, and quickly comes makes his reply. //You don't have to worry about me telling Hiiro about it. I know how he is, I uh... doubt I'd tell him much of anything, really. You can show me now--or, wait... is that Wea--I mean Eater I hear...?//

---

"Oh, the spider didn't do anything to her, Princess," the young Nightmare explains, and finishes the rhyme in song, "She swallowed the spider to catch the fly, I don't know why she swallowed a fly... I guess she'll die."

( lol poo Catch x'D

Haha thanks Fade but I had Pizza x3)

Moments before the projectile met its target, a wall of ice flew up in front of the Pyro Nightmare, created by the two Nightmares in hiding. Right after the halberd struck the barrier, the Pyro darted around the ice and shot a fireball toward Blue.

(Lol Lilly. X'DD)

(I'll try to squeeze in a quick reply for Purity, but I'll need to go soon)

(Ok Lilly! Do you want to just finish up for Purity, and then me or somebody else can handle the Nightmare attacking Eira?)

Catch heart was racing with panic as he had to watch what was unfolding, he felt helplessness and was, it was torture for the moonblood as he worried for his wife

(Sounds good to me Fade!)

The white Dreamer shrieks and throws up her left arm before one chain could strike her face, and the other wraps around her other hand, that's still clinging to the magic mop. Purity clenches her teeth as pain burns through her hand, and in one last-ditch effort to fight off the Nightmare, she summons a wave of water and hurls it at the beast with as much pressure as she can summon.

(Gotta go!)

Blue growled as his attack was blocked, "Alright ya dumb dingos" he summons his halberd back and squeezes his eyes shut as he summons Kyro again. The wolf lunges forward and sinks his large fangs into the Pyro Nightmare, brutally tearing into it.

Blue landed on a nearby rooftop, his head spinning, "Oh yup, Qui told me I shouldn't summon him twice in one day" he staggers, holding a hand to his head and trying to find the other Nightmares.

The Pyro Nightmare grinned victoriously when its chains wrapped around Purity, pinning her in place. But when the torrent of water came his way, he realized he was the one trapped. Unable to remove his chains in time, the Nightmare was struck dead-on and staggered away. He roared as the water soaked him and extinguished his flames, leaving him without the strength to stand. Chains releasing Purity, the Pryo collapsed to the ground with a groan.

//I mean... I would show you now, but we're almost back to the group... DW would see it too...
And... Uh... I don't know how long it'd take for me to get my form back. Especially with my injuries right now...// Fiona thought, then paused when Terra mentioned Eater. The Elemental turned around, hearing the Nightmare's voice echoing behind them. //Sounds like he's following us... Maybe bringing Boo back to the group with us?... Ugh, I don't know... That's just what I hope he's doing...//

(Bye Lilly!)

(See you, Lilly!)

( bye Lilly!)

Malice had left a Trail of black Blood behind him as he walked away from leaving Alexandrea with the Human girl, he didn't want to be around when she sung her song.
The Nightmare king wandered, he needed a place to rest so he could focus on recovering, but now that he was alone his mind replayed the events that just occurred and the echoes of his past " why did I save her? I should have kill! " He bared his fangs in anger, Malice was mad, mostly at himself, he wasn't acting like Nightmare was supposed to and just wanted things to go back to how they were before but something also made him hate the words that came out of his mouth just now and the thought that we're with them.
The Nightmare king roared driving his fist into the nearest wall and cracking it. Malice panted for a moment after is little bit of rage, he landed his back against the wall and let his lags give in and sled down and sat. The Nightmare king started blankly at his hands that still had the Phoenix shapeshifters Blood on them and he remembered the day he drove his sword into Alexandria chest the same way, his hands began to shake at that. He felt nothing back then just his master command that dove him, but with the Phoenix shapeshifter there was something else now, new Feeling he didn't understand and that frightened him...

Malice leaned his head back and close his eyes his mind still going through it's turmoil

The Nightmare shrieked when Kyro appeared and tore into him, forcing him to back away some. He wrapped flaming chains around Kyro and dug his dagger-like teeth into his shoulder.

As Blue stood and recovered, a shadow slinked to the building he was on and vanished. Suddenly, the roof burst open and a Frost Nightmare lunged from below, jaws wide to snap Blue up.

Her song soon faded away and Crystal opened her eyes, needing to blink a couple times before she could see again. Things looked a bit fuzzy and she felt lightheaded, but other than that she was okay. "She'll be alright and back to normal with some time.." she said as she looked up. Though the person she thought she was talking to was gone. "What..?" She glanced around a little, "Where did he.." Remembering she was the only one who could see at the moment, she shrugged, "Never mind.. I don't really want to know.." Crystal checked Alex's pulse making sure it was getting better, then sat back and crisscrossed her legs with a small sigh.

(My internet crashed and we could not get it back to working xP)

(Anyone want to control the Frost Nightmare attacking Eira?)

(I could give it a shot? Maybe? xD)

Kyro snarled and tore back into the Nightmare, his blue mane burning bright as he sensed his anchor in danger. The Guardian grabbed the Nightmare's hindleg in his jaws and ripped it clean off.

Blue yelped as the ground gave away, it took him a second to realize what had just happened and he spun around, driving his halberd down into the Nightmare's open jaws. He felt his vision getting spotty from summoning and keeping Kyro out a second time in a single day.

DW continued on her course getting closer to the others.

The silly song was very confusing Boo she didn't quite understand it " What? See ate all that and the fly kill her?" She frowned her brow " that doesn't sound like a very nice song"

(Totally forgot I have homework today lol)

(Sure Fluffy! Thanks! Do you need a recap on the situation?)

( it's alright Galaxy, it happens ^-^)

(I don't mind if you go slow Fade, I'm in no rush, focus on your homework :>)

(Thanks, Fade, but I think I got it! I just went back and read a little from the last session. :>)

The Pyro wailed in agony as his limb was torn out, but Soledormir's voice ringing in his head prevented him from backing down. He instead pulled Kyro closer edits lighting himself completely on fire, orange flames attacking the Familiar.

The Frost shrieked in pain and rage as the halberd imbedded itself in the roof of his throat. Spluttering black blood, the Nightmare spat the halberd out over the side of the building. As it did, the other Nightmare, nearby but still in hiding, sent ice flashing up the wall and fastenening Blue's feet to the rooftop.

(Thanks Blood!! x)

Cool Fluffy! Go wild! XD)

Kyro, being a familiar of fire, was virtually unaffected by the Pyro's flames, he started tearing off the rest of its limbs, making quick work of the Pyro and rushing to help his anchor.

Blue grimaced as his feet were fastened to the roof, he jerked himself, trying to get free but couldn't. He didn't have the energy to call his weapon back, //Crap, crap, craaap!// he beats his wings hard as Kyro comes pelting down the street, crashing into buildings as he went for the hidden Nightmare and clamped his jaws down on its neck, incinerating it with blue flames. He knew Blue didn't have much time left and worked quickly.

After getting back to her feet and letting out a ferocious roar, the Frost Nightmare bounded forward, focusing her own icy abilities to summon up a spear-like icicle. At full force, she slammed both herself and the icicle into the walls of the igloo, attempting to break through, or pierce through the wall--and possibly Eira--at the same time.

(Well Blue's gonna pass out after this xD
I didn't expect you to pitch three Nightmares at him, lol)

The hidden Nightmare thought she was safe, until Kyro smashed through the building and bit into her neck, summoning a high-pitched shriek from her. The Frostcimmediately focused her ice powers on her own fight, turning it into a thick spike which drove into Kyro's shoulder.

While Blue worked to free himself, the first Frost heaved himself onto the rooftop and stalked toward Blue. Unaware that his partner was no longer actively holding the Vaseterm down, he grinned down at Blue. "Hmmm, how shall I kill you?" he purred sadistically.

Crimson would had his eyes closed but been blind it didn't really matter, the was lost in the soothing sound like a melody until the Human girl stop and he was snapped back into reality, the Dragon then remember and flared his nostrils smelling for the Nightmare king but he was already gone "good riddance" he snorted.

" why would a Nightmare bring one of the candidates to get save? "Crimson thought out loud, he could smell the Nightmare on the Phoenix shapeshifter and he accidentally bumped her with his nose

(Lol, too much for the poor widdle silverblood?)

Kyro yelped as he felt the ice drive into his shoulder, hopping back and away from the Nightmare, he drew in a deep breath and then blasted fire from his maw at her.

Blue had started chanting under his breath while the Nightmare seemed to think it was victorious, his eyes followed the Nightmare as it circled him, his lips moving quickly and then Blue grinned, "How shall I cook you?" he asks as a spell circle goes off under them, sending off an explosion of fire and completely demolishing what was left of the building they were on.

(Heh nope, not on ya life)

The female Frost, smoking from Kyro's flames, attempted to stagger away, but his final attack incinerated her and she collapsed to the ground in a ball of flames.

"What?--Noooo!!" The remaining Nightmare roared in horror as the entire building lit up in flame, making quick work of him. His flaming body crashed down into the building and vanished under the rubble.

XD

(Ack, sorry fort he wait Fluffy - I forgot that interaciton was continuing. X'DD)

(It's fine, Fade! I can wait. xP)

The Frost's ice spear managed to bore right past the ice wall as well as send cracks like spiderwebs ocross the igloo. Luckily, Eira was on the opposite from the Frost, but the impact still knocked her off her feet. //What do I do? I don't even know how much farther I can push myself!// the shiftress worried. She put her hand against the wall to steady herself as she rose. "Is that all you've got!" she yelped. //Hopefully this whole thing will fall apart on the second attack. From there.... I'm not sure what I'll do.//

Kyro vanished once the Nightmares were all dead, so he wasn't putting anymore strain on Blue.

Blue flapped his wings to avoid getting buried under rubble and he landed clumsily in the street, //Ah crap// he lies there, slowly spreading out his wings as he passes out.

(I'm just a lonely zombie~ I'm just a lonely zombie in this hallway~ and all I want is to eat some brains, so brain~)

(Poor Shadow. X'D You need another interaction to be in?)

(Syke, there's one more Nightmare Blue! >:D jk)

(Lol he'd be nightmare chow xD)

(it's ok, I don't mind waiting,
I could always just make Mal fall more into misery or something else with one of my other oc )

(Lol XD)

The icy Nightmare backed away from the igloo and let out a dark chuckle at Eira's taunts, "Those words will be your end!" She hissed, making yet another mad dash towards the ice barrier and leaping at it, ramming it claws-first.

(Back!)

(Welcome back, Lilly!)

The ice bubble finally shattered from the Frost's attack. Eira rolled away as ice slabs crashed down like glass, some shards cutting her as she escaped. As soon as she found her feet, the shiftress raced for the other side of the room, gasping for breath.

(Welcome back! :D)

(You wanna take over for the Frost Nightmare now, Lilly?)

(I mean, if you don't wanna control her anymore, Fluffy, sure XP )

(If nobody wants to control it, we can just say Eira won and it's happy ever after. xD)

(No, I mean, I'd be happy to keep going, it's just that you were the original person controlling her, and I wanted to see if you wanted to continue. <xD)

(*crickets*)

(Is Blood not in any active interactions?)

(Blue's KO
Alex is KO
Hiiro is with Mina and Turtlee is MIA)

( then a Nightmare knocks over the cups Neveah had been working on the entire time the apocalypse happened, and then she snaps...)

(Dang, I wish I could send somebody to help either of your KO characters. Unless you're perfectly fine sitting here and watching?)

(Lol Shadow)

(Yeah I'm fine watching~)

(Alrighty then)

(...I'm guessing Lilly's writing? I wanna wait for her response before I go writing a post for the Frost Nightmare.

I mean... If we had two posts, the only plausible explanation would be that the Frost Nightmare decided to duplicate herself.)

(Multiplying Nightmares)

(Probably writing. If you want, you could write a reply for the Nightmare then wait to see what Lilly's writing. She might be working on a post for Weaver or Terra, after all.)

(*Eaterrrr)

(Actually, I got called away for dinner while looking up more songs Eater could sing for Boo, I was hoping no one would notice.

... That plan failed ':D

You can go ahead for the Nightmare, Floofers, I was going to write for Terra and Eater before I had to eat 'XP )

(Okey dokey, Lilly!

...I'm sorry I foiled your plan.)

The Frost Nightmare was relentless in giving chase, she charged after Eira with a bloodthirsty look in her eyes, ready to do to the griffin shapeshifter what she had done to the igloo. However, she got so caught up in the thrill of the hunt, she forgot to be even the slightest bit cautious about her approach...

(XD)

Eira's pounding heart leaped into her throat when she heard--and felt--the Nightmare pursued her. //How am I supposed to harm it if it's ice and I'm ice, but I'm only flesh?? It can probably just use its powers to heal itself--Heal itself! Wait!// Immediately, a whirlwind of ice swirled around Eira and she shifted into her warped griffin from. She felt a deep burning in her side, but whatever wound was there was covered in a layer of rough ice.
Moments before the Frost reached her, Eira leaped into the air with a pump of her wings and landed on its back, claws digging in deep. //Now we're a little more even! I can sustain injuries better in this form, since my ice covers up my wounds.//

"Yeah, I didn't trust him to be around either.." Crystal looked over beside her as Crimson spoke up and moved closer. "I don't know, I can't imagine why he would bring her for help. That definitely seems to be something a Nightmare would never do." She replied as she watched Crimson sniff Alex, then she slightly winced for the unconscious shifter when she got bumped. "Careful there.." Crystal mumbled.

The Frost Nightmare hadn't expected Eira to shift and expected even less that the griffin would retaliate. The Nightmare let out a pained, but furious screech as Eira's claws dug into her backside, then began thrashing about, chains whipping around wildly in an attempt to knock the shapeshifter off.

Eira held on with all her might as the Nightmare bucked, using he wings to keep herself steady. But then a passing chain caught one of her wings and wrapped around it, promptly flinging the griffin off the Frost's back and onto the ground. Eira let out a rather awkward squawk from the impact before flailing her feathers as she worked to right herself.

//Right... well...// Terradream mutters in Fiona's mind, going back to the earlier point, //Maybe sometime tonight, then? It's about as important as a Dreamer's heart reflection, so we can't neglect it--//

Then suddenly the ghostly Dreamer lets out a surprised squeak as his Fairfin pipes up-also in Fiona's head-//HA haha! Do you guys hear that!? It sounds like he's singing that old nursery rhyme about the lady who swallowed the farm animals and died!//

---

Dreameater snickers faintly and smirks at Boo's reaction, and replies, "What, you don't like the song? Mmm, fine, I'll think of one that doesn't involve an old lady eating bugs... But first..." His smirk fades away as he looks directly at Fiona and raises his voice to call to her, "Hey, Crazy Fuzzball, I need to talk to you. Right now!"

The dragon flicked his ears at Crystals warning and lifted his head up " so now what we do with her?" He pointed a claw at the unconscious shapeshifter. " If that Nightmare brought her here, I'm sure he be back" he said in a slight growl, he didn't like Nightmares expecially Malice

The Frost Nightmare came to a screeching halt and swiftly turned to face her target. Parting her jaws, she breathed a blast of icy mist and razor-sharp ice shards towards Eira.

---

//Right... Ok... Sometime tonight then...// Fiona responded to Terra in her mind, still seeming a little apprehensive.
Then she suddenly realized something, //WAIT, SPARKY?! You're in my head too?!//

When Dreameater called her, she seemed a little preoccupied with concerns about a certain Fairfin being in her head, able to hear her thoughts... But she seemed to recover from that shock pretty quickly. "...Uh, ok, sure." She said to the Nightmare.
"Dreamwalker? Can you take Anna the rest of the way to Catch? I have... Something to take care of." She muttered. ...Though it would've had to be some kind of miracle if the Dreamer girl hadn't just heard the Nightmare as well.

Boo fround her face thing about the songs " I like the one about the ants " she mumbled
-

Dreamwalker ears flick hearing the Nightmare call, she trun her head at Fiona " uh... sure but you know that guy a Nightmare right?" She asked, and lower herself so the Elemental could get off

Eira squawked again as she scrambled to escape the Nightmare's attack. A few ice shards managed to pierce her lion rump, but she took flight without any more damage. The griffin circled overhead, thinking hard. //What's a Frost's weakness?? I don't remember! Well... I guess I can see what I'm capable of in this... "new" form.// With a battle cry, Eira dove toward the Nightmare and released a burst of magic the moment she touched it, causing ice spikes to explode in every direction.

( ever directions? O.o )

(Ooo)

((Ever directions?)

(explosion of ice in every direction, in room... with people in it...)

(Oh, Lol I guess I didn't describe that well. The ice isn't flying - it's kinda jutting out like icicles, I guess?)

The Frost Nightmare let out a horrid scream as the ice spikes sliced through her, completely shattering one of her pearls and damaging two others in the process. She stumbled away from Eira on three legs, looking like a walking pincushion. A furious growl emanated from the weakened Nightmare's throat as she attempted to lunge at the griffin shapeshifter, claws extended and aimed for her throat.

---

After getting off, Fiona nodded at Dreamwalker, "Yeah, I know... It's kind of a long story. I'll be fine. Just please stay safe, and get Anna to Catch." She entrusted DW with caring for Anna before heading off to meet up with Dreameater.

"...So... What is it?" Fiona questioned the Nightmare, trying to not seem angry and annoyed... But mostly failing to do so.

(OH.
Well.
I kind of messed that up.

I guess the Nightmare isn't as much of a walking pincushion then.
Good for her.)

( lol ok so Catch won't get impaled x'D)

(Lol yeah. She'd be more like a porcupine, since the icicles are probably sticking out of her and in her.)

Dreamwalker gave a concerned look but didn't argue with the elemental, she shifted to a humanoid and took the little Fairfin and head to her bother on foot

//Yeah, I can pop in here too. Heheh, does that make you nervous?// Sparky replies, sounding more than a little mischievous.

Terra sounds horrified. //Oh no no no no no, this won't do at all...//

---

"The one about the ants...?" Dreameater mutters under his breath, and whispers to Boo, "Nah, I've got another song... I'll tell ya if Fiona doesn't try to blow my head off."

The Nightmare with Weaver's face stops walking when he's still a little ways from the Dreamer and Elemental, and while he doesn't say anything else while he waits, he does give Catch's sister a rather wicked smirk.

(Oh dear.

That's worse than a pincushion.

...She should maybe probably actually be dead then?

Should I re-write that part of my post? xD)

Eira shoved away and tried to escape the Nightmare's range, but one claw managed to catch her, cutting her shoulder. The griffin hissed but, driven by determination, she turned back and lunged for the Frost's head where the last pearl was. With a pump of her wings, she raised her talons and slashed its face.

(Nah, it's cool. XD We'll work with what you've got.)

(Wait, did I get the order mixed up?

I know I took a long time to write that X'D )

(Oops, sorry Lilly, that was my fault.
I guess I kind of assumed you wouldn't have a reply for Shadow's comment, so I kind of just jumped the gun.
Again, sorry about that. 'xD)

Dreamwalker gave a concerned look but didn't argue with the elemental, she shifted to a humanoid and took the little Fairfin, she gave a glare at the Nightmare look and stuck her tongue out him before heading to her bother on foot

(Fit it Lilly)

(Man, I just scrambled everything up, didn't I.
I gotta work on RPing as more than one character. x'D)

(It's alright Fluffy, just confusing XD

Thanks Shadow X'D )

(no problem Lilly)

The Frost Nightmare let out yet another scream as her final pearl was sliced by Eira's attack. However, her scream soon fell to silence as the Nightmare collapsed to the ground with a lifeless, hollow thud.

"First of all..." Dreameater starts, his expression turning more annoyed at the Elemental as well, "You walked off and left Boo /again!/ What were you thinking!?
... Ahem, but that's not all..." the Nightmare explains, and takes a deep breath, "... I want to join the Keyhunters."

(...I hope I'm not ending the fight too early or anything.)

(It's so weird and frustrating not using Hiiro, ahhhhhh!)

(I bet Blood, I wish I could help :/ )

(It's starting to really piss me off)

(Nah, you're good Fluffy!)

(Bummer Blood, I know the feeling xP)

//...Yes, actually, it does. Seriously, it was bad enough when you read my diary, but now you can read my MIND.
...Could you at least ask me first before you start listening in to my thoughts...?// Fiona thought in reply to Sparky's comments.

"...Okay, first of all, I left Boo because /you/ were with her. I assume that's ok because you seem to genuinely care about her... As much as I don't like it..." Fiona growled at Eater, "And... Wait, what." She paused at his final statement and stared at him. "...I... Uh...
...I REALLY don't think anyone's going to be happy about that... Or actually let you join..."

After her opponent collapsed, Eira leaped back and shook out her frosty wings. Gasping for air, she watched the lifeless form to make sure it really was lifeless, then bounded over to where the white Dreamer was. "Purity? Are you okay?" she crooned, having forgotten that she was still in her corrupted griffin form.

Crystal took a second to think, "Again, and in most cases, I don't know. Maybe we should get back to the others and make sure they're okay." She responded, but it sort of sounded like a question. She looked up at Crimson when she heard the slight growl that came with his words. "You think he'll come back? Hm.. I kinda hope he doesn't." Crystal poked at the ground, "if I knew that she would wake up soon, I'd say let's just sit here for a minute and wait, but I'm pretty sure she won't.. I hope I did enough to help her." Her mind flipped and she thought, 'that really wasn't an answer, was it? Oops.'

(I'm so slow, and I'm so sorry about it. For some reason, I can't seem to write worth a hoot today.)

(Blood, what color would Cacophany's special markings be in her humanoid form?)

(Her markings would be dark grey/blackish, really whatever looks good to you, I don't mind)

(Alrighty! Thanks!

Purity Dreamer sits on her knees, trying to wash her burn wounds with cold water magic, although it's clear from the pained look on her face and the tears in her eyes that she isn't alright. "Not really... the Pyro Nightmare burned me, it's painful, but I'll live... especially if Crystal can--"
Hearing Eira sounding like a bird doesn't phase the Dreamer, since she knows Eira's true form as a griffin, but it's when she looks up at her childhood friend that she lets out a cry of shock. "E-Eira!?" Purity exclaims, looking over the corrupted griffin before her.

Eira jolted back at Purity's sharp exclamation, equally surprised as the Dreamer was. She quickly looked herself over before waving her bird-like feet around. "I-It's alright, Purity! This is just a..." She sighed and sat back on her haunches, sorrow evident behind her glassy eyes. "This is why I haven't shifted in front of you all in so long... I'm ruined."

Crimson folded his ears back "I hope he doesn't come back ether, but even I know your group attracts The Unwanted" he trun his head to Crystal and grin in his Dragon form " Im sure you did more then enough, she just needs rest now...I
can pick her up and Cary her but that means I won't have my hands to guide me" he takes his tail and points were he hears the Human girl voice " so that means your going have to be my eyes, but if I run into anything, I'm blaming you for it" he smirked, and gently pick up the Phoenix shapeshifter in his paws

(*snores in the background*)

(* sticks carrot up Blood's nose*)

(*breaths in whole carrot through nose*)

Malice mind would not let him rest, he got up and started to just wander aimlessly thought the streets, he didn't care who seen him, he was lost in thought trying to figure things out. When he noticed a male Vaseterm in the Street, Malice raised and eye brow //why would a Vaseterm be here of all places? // He had a blurred memory of the battle //Omen was against another, could this be him?// Malice walk around Blue examining him with his eyes before he nudged the Vaseterm with his foot "your not dead Silver hair"

(there you go Blood x'D)

(Oh gosh)

Blue groaned as he felt someone nudge him, he blinked open tired eyes and peered up at Malice, "Of course I'm not dead" he rests his head back down, "I just need moonlight, badly" he narrows his eyes, "Who are you?"

Malice tilted his head up slightly "I know what your kind feed off of, sliver hair" the Nightmare king forgot he wasn't suppressing his Darkness, but at this point it was to late for that " my name doesn't matter, the question should be why would a Vaseterm come into the Devil's of the night hunting ground?"

Dreameater pauses a moment and glances down at the dragonet in his arms, he still doesn't like having the word "care" being used for him, but, there's nothing he can do about it. "... Well... whatever," Eater replies, somewhat harshly, and continues speaking with a look of determination burning in his eyes, "I know they would hate me... that's why I need your help. You know I'm Boo's guardian, you could help me convince the others. But let me make one thing clear... I'm /not/ asking if you want my help. I saw that stupid vision Catch had with Soledormir and... and... There's NO WAY I could just sit back and let that happen! There is nothing you can do to stop me from saving your sorry hides, you got that!?" After shouting his declaration and hugging Boo a little tighter, he growls and adds one more thing, "I want to join the Keyhunters so that when I try to help, I don't get killed by the idiots I'm trying to save... I don't want to do it, but it's my only option at this point."

Blue studied his appearance, feeling a bit uneasy as he forced himself to stand up, wings drooping behind him. "Oh please, Omen's a fool, I can handle him blindfolded" he says, rubbing his head, "So what are you doing around here 'my name doesn't matter'?" he raises a brow, having a feeling this man was a Nightmare, but he didn't ask, he couldn't fight another one right now.

"We do seem to attract the bad guys, but what else can be expected when you're trying to stop the bad guys that don't want to be stopped?" Crystal nodded, "you're probably right, the wound is closed after all." She then stood and shook her head slightly, trying to push back a smile of her own. "Alright, I guess I can't complain. If I'm your eyes and you walk into something, I would actually be to blame for it. Unlike the burger thing." She placed a hand against Crimson and glanced at Alex. "Okay, let's go." She said, then began leading them away, back to the others and the building they had been in.

"... No... No...!" Purity whimpers, more tears dripping off her face now as she stands up, and hesitates a moment... before running to the griffin, hugging one of her bird-like feet, burying her face in Eira's feathers, and sobbing. "Eira, no, I... I've already lost Weaver to this, I can't... I can't lose you too...! And you just came back..."

Fiona silently thought about Eater's words, wondering if he really meant them.
By now, there wasn't a single doubt in her mind that he was telling the truth. As much as she hated it, as much as she hated /him/ by this time, she knew both that this could be their chance to find a cure, and to stop Soledormir.
In fact, she had started to wonder why in Catch's visions of everyone's dark futures, that there was one for Eater...
And why he seemed to regret so much in that vision...

"...Alright, fine. I'll help you." Fiona finally said, folding her arms, "...But this is going to take a lot of effort from you, being a Nightmare and all. I can't do all the convincing... I might be being nice to you now, but you already know that I don't even trust you completely..." She narrowed her eyes at him, giving him a look that said, 'I'm watching you...'

Panicked, Eira shook Purity off. "No no no, please listen! I'm not losing myself to darkness, or-or anything like that!" Her eyes met Purity's, trying to gain her attention. "You remembered how I disappeared four years ago, right?"

Malice folded his arms, he ignore the pain from his injuries "Omen is... Interesting, a fool and idiot but to underestimate him would be just as foolish, because the day you think you have him truly beat, is the day he will show you just what he capable of" the Nightmare king when to take his fingers through his hair but stop seen the Blood still on them and he grimface when the memories that still haunted him, he pushed it aside and folded his arms again " you could say, I'm here for a business matter "

"I know that, I wasn't expecting you to do everything," Dreameater replies with a tone that would imply a "you idiot" at the end of that sentence. "We should see about convincing Catch next... We've already met once, though I doubt he believed me when I told him and that... scaly red freak about Boo. With him, we could get Eira next, then we'll have to go from there to the other members..."

That being said, Eater looks down at Boo again and gently rubs the back of her head. "Well Princess, do you think you could help me with this?"

"I don't think bad guys ever want to be stopped" he smirked, Feeling Crystals touch for guidance Crimson followed slowy, it was a bit awkward for him to walk on his hind legs as a dragon but he did it. He snorts " what do you mean not like the Burger? What would have been totally your fault, I asked you to pick and you didn't, " he teased with a hint of seriousness to it. As there we're approaching the building were the others were in, in his current form in position the dragon would be to tall to go in thought the door and was about to run his head into wall...

"I've seen what he's capable of, he almost killed me before, luckily I was saved. I'm not stupid enough to underestimate him" Blue narrows his eyes suspiciously, he then starts to walk away, "Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go find some moonlight, see you later bug man!"

Purity takes a moment to catch her breath, and wipes her tears away with a sigh. "... Yeah... I remember... how could I forget that?" the Dreamer replies. She feels the need to ask if Eira is sure she won't lose herself, but figures she ought to let her friend explain first.

Eira used one talon to scratch her wrist idly as she explained. "Well, when I was on my way to Cielo, I was... attacked. I don't know what it was, but it injected me with darkness and turned my griffin form into this." She gave a defeated shrug. "I was still in my right mind, but.... I was afraid of what everyone would think. So I never went home." She looked up at Purity, sadness glistening in her eyes. "I'm sorry for never telling you..."

Boo had been zoned out from most of the conversation, she was sleepy and wanted a nap, the little Dragonette snap back to her senses when her Guardian questioned her " oh, that your one of the good guys again? You help save me and the the others, so that makes you a good guy" she smiled up at Eater

By her expression, it was obvious Fiona didn't take kindly to Eater's tone in his first statement. Nevertheless, she shrugged, sighed, and said, "Okay, sounds like a plan..."
//...I sure hope I'm not making a stupid mistake...//

She smiled at Boo's statement, then couldn't help but smirk at Dreameater.

Malice curled his lip and growled at the Vaseterm name from him, he doubted the sliver hair knew about what his true form look like, but it still irritated him. The Nightmare king didn't follow but ask one question well the Vaseterm was still with in ear shot " sliver hair, what clan do you come from?"

( I'll take care of Catch now, that the battle done )

The Dreamer girl still clearly looks worried for her friend, and gives her an equally saddened look. "Eira... you could've come to me... I wouldn't... I wouldn't have... hated you or anything... I don't even know what you thought I would've done. You could've told me sooner... I... I'm just sad, Eira..." Purity says, and looks away for a moment. "... With everything that's been going on, though... with Weaver... and Terra... and everything else... we haven't really had much of a time to talk... have we?"

(Alrighty!)

Blue stopped and looked to Malice, figuring there wasn't much harm in it, "The Silver Spears, run by..." he pauses and smirks a bit, "Run by Alexandria, but she goes by Queen Victoria now"

Eira gave a raspy sigh. "I know... I should've trusted you, and Catch, with my secret. It's just... I was so afraid. I was afraid of myself, and the darkness, and of being alone... But I didn't want to hurt you all, so I stayed away. I know, it doesn't make much sense when I say it, but...." The griffin met Purity's gaze carefully. "Will you forgive me?"

(Wait what)

(What?)

(Alexandria and Victoria are one and the same?)

B-)

"What? WHAT!?" Dreameater yelps, suddenly holding Boo out away from him, "No! No, I am NOT a 'good guy!' No, I mean... Ahhh pffft," He sputters a bit, looking for words and seeming very unhappy, and squeezes his eyes shut tight. "... Do I have to... ugh... Do I /have/ to be called a 'good guy,' Princess...?"

(Cool)

(I sure hope you had Shadow's permission there, Blood)

(Lol Eater)

(Well I sure didn't ask, oops, lol)

(Probably just did done a goof)

(Shadow pretty much dared me, it's her fault *points finger*)

"that.not.Possible." Malice growled each word " Alexandria is dead, I seen it with my own eyes" he looked down at his blood covered hands and the memory of that day flash through his mind, his hands were soaked with silver Blood and the young Vaseterm Queen laid in her own Blood from the wound in her chest for his blade. Malice snare and shaking his head " that a lie! I seen Victoria and Alexandria and they are not the same!" He shouting bitterly, he pictured the two sides by side in his mind but there features where blurred, he didn't understand it, but the truth of it was there was more than one seal place on Malice

( x'D I guess my word play is very settle, it's been hit since the beginning and thought out, I think Neveah even said it one time but she Crazy )

Blue noticed Malice's blood covered hands, //Yikes!// he picks up his pace, "Hey! For all you know, it could be a different Alexandria and Victoria, could be an entirely different Vaseterm!" he shouts, waving to him now, "Well see you later!" he rounds a corner and speeds off now

(Did you even mention Alexandria was a Vaseterm?)

( yes, Neveah said she was my Queen )

(Lol I haven't ever paid much mind to what Nevaeh has said. Oops)

Fiona was so tempted to step in and say, 'yes' for Boo, but she didn't...

Instead, she stood there with a stupid grin, seeming to enjoy every moment of Eater's unhappiness.

(she Crazy, Crazy anyway x'D )

Purity listens to Eira's apology, and a friendly smile slowly appears on her lips. "... Of course I forgive you, Eira, just... next time something comes up, don't wait for a dramatic face reveal to tell me, ok?"

(That much is true x'D)

Eira held her breath as she waited for Purity's reply, then let it out at her relieving words. She managed to chuckle a bit at her last sentence. "Of course, Purity. I know now that I can trust my closest friend." She smiled for a quiet moment, then jolted suddenly. "Oh moons-- Catch!" Without waiting for Purity, Eira leaped up and raced in the direction she had last seen her husband

(I was just afraid Blood revealed that too soon, I didn't know that was gonna be revealed tonight 'XD )

(I feel you XD)

Dreamcatcher has slipped out of Consciousness some point during the battle, the dark moonbloods breathing was rasp and slow
Dreamwalker made it to the building the Dreamer girl was panting, holding Anna close to herself "Catch! " She spot her brother on the ground and rush over to him

(Woopsies)

( it doesn't effect my plans much, lilly in fact it will sat something up for down the road, I kinda did it on a whim don't worry I'll only do that with my oc, and if I see were it can do something with the plot )

Purity giggles a little alongside Eira, but when the griffin suddenly turns and runs, the Dreamer's smile fades, and she follows Eira to Catch's side.

(Alrighty Shadow :3

... By the way, random question, but which chat are we using again, Shadow? Your WIP of Sol or mine? X'D )

( I don't know anymore Lilly x'D

Maybe we need a new one? I do need to talk with you about a few things >:])

Eira raced faster when she spotted Catch's form on the ground, but she apruptly skidded to a half when Dreamwalker of all people suddenly appeared. "D--!?" The griffin squawked and scrabbled in another direction, desperately hoping that she could hide herself before the young Dreamer could see her appearance.

(I gotta go to bed, goodnight!)

(Goodnight, Blood!)

(Haha X'D

Ooh, sweet! That's why I was asking, actually, there's just a small thing I'd like to discuss with you about Nevaeh XP )

(DOn't HURT My FOX!)

(Okay goodnight now Lol)

( good night blood! )

(Goodnight Blood! Haha, I'mma do all the plotting with yer fox and my boy >:D

Eira skidding to a half has so many different interpretations, I don't know which is funnier)

( haha I'm imagining Eira doing that now to xD)

(Goodnight Blood! Ooh, I ought to get to bed quickly too)

*halt, sorry XD)

(That's right, how late is it where you are, Fade?)

(1 AM)

(I should have been asleep half an hour ago, bleh)

(Good grief, that is late for you TwT I was planning on keeping an eye on the time for you when you first posted that notice, but it's hard because you're an hour ahead of me, and it's easy to forget 'XP )

(Yeah x'D I might call it a night here, if that's alright. You two are welcome to continue with Purity and DW and say Eira successfully managed to hide)

(Eh, I dunno if we'll keep going with those two. We'll see XP

I'm all up for continuing with The Nightmare, the Elemental, and the Dragonet though ewe )

(Alrighty! Well, goodnight you guys! It was fun!~)

(Goodnight, Fade!)

(Goodnight Fade! :) )

"I agree with you there. The only thing is, they have to be stopped. There's no other way for them." Crystal walked along, doing her best to help Crimson then suddenly added "unless we fail.." rather quietly and continued on. "And what do you mean 'what to I mean'?" She laughed lightly, "Sure, I didn't pick, but I knew we would have both been happier than if some girl had picked your dinner for you." When they got closer to their destination, Crystal glanced up just in time to see the problem before it happened. She slowed and nearly stopped walking, putting a little more pressure against where her hand was to sort of signal she was slowing. "W-Wait a second, can you duck down, or possibly something like that? We're at the entrance but you're too tall like this to fit.."

DW kneel down beside her brother she didn't notice the corrupted Griffin hiding, she took Rihanna rub the little Fairfin to wake her up
" Anna you need to reconnect your bonus with Catch before you both die" then the Dreamer girl held Rihanna up to Dreamcatcher chest, Anna barely have the strength left but she placed her tiny paws on Catch and started to glow, looking like a ball of light as she worked her magic she made The moonblood glow, he gasp Feeling his Bond partner once more, after talking a few deep breaths Catch breathing started to get back to rhythm, Anna stop her glowing and rested up against her partner's chest Feeling him breathe // I made it in time...//
DW was holding her breath as Anna reformed her bond with her brother, she took a breath one he was breathing regularly " thank the moons...Catch and Anna you had me worry sick "

( I was slow,

Good night Fade! )

(Goodnight Fading and Blood. Even though I'm late to say that I'm doing it anyway. :P)

Boo dangled there, she tilted her head " well you keep saving me, and you are my Guardian, so isn't that what good guys do?"

The Nightmare grumbles a bit, he really doesn't want to say it, especially in front of Fiona, but as much as he hates to admit it... "... Yes... good guys do that..." he mumbles, sounding absolutely miserable as he sets Boo up on his shoulders to carry her like he normally does. //I'm so glad Waker can't hear any of this...//

Fiona waited for a moment before she said anything, seeming rather pleased with Dreameater's reactions.
Then, finally, she spoke up, "...Well, welcome to the team. How's it feel to be a 'good guy,' Eater?"

" hmmm, well I guess that true, it probably would have been very embarrassing for you if you ordered for me " Crimson teased, he slow his pace feeling Crystals signal " well that not going to be good" he said testing the wall with his nose,seen just we're ever thing was at. " I could probably duck down low enough or I could just shift we're close enough now I wouldn't have to carry her that long " he decided on that and shifted still holding Alexandrea in his arms " that should work " he grinned at Crystals

Boo start to giggle at the Nightmare " see you are a good guy!" She said carefully patting his hat

Watching as Crimson decided to shift, Crystal nodded, returning a smile. She knew it wasn't seen, but she didn't mind. "Yeah, that'll do." She placed her hand on his shoulder and proceeded inside. "I'm not so sure it was just the embarrassing part.. Maybe also the part where I didn't want to be the one to decide on something you possibly would not have liked. ...But I have a feeling you wouldn't have really blamed me."

"Just /lovely,/" Eater pouts, "I'm /so thrilled/... Now let's just get to the others..." He starts walking in the direction he can sense Catch in. The expression on his face I can only describe as...

Priceless.

(Okay, I've really gotta get going for the night, but I'll go ahead and leave one more reply.)

(Alright, Goodnight in advance Fluffy! Tell me when you beat Stories! And if you need any tips on the final boss, I can spare you some advice X3 )

Fiona could barely hold in her laughter when she saw Dreameater's expression. It was at least enough to make her feel a bit better about the whole situation. She followed him, staying mostly quiet... Except for the occasional quiet giggle that escaped her.

(Alright, goodnight everyone! Thanks for the awesome RP!
See you all next time. x3)

(Goodnight Fluffy :) )

(I'm gonna assume Shadow crashed, so I'mma head off to bed too XD Night Galaxy!)

(Haha alrighty then, Night Lilly!)

( yup, I fell asleep x'D)

Figures lol
