Wow! And EFC said this was mushrooming before!? It must be like rabbits now! ^_^ *in light of the upcoming holiday*
EFC: No, I don't have MSN, and my comp doesn't like downloading it either. It'll take me, like, 2 days to download it...
Arain
*~Goddess of Balance and Winds~*
"Very well." He had agreed to join me. I showed a strange but certain smile that told him, "Do not fear me. I am what you hve searched for in your life. The turning point of your life's despair. You and the others will help fix this world." He stared curiously at me and suddenly fell into a slight hypnosis state.
I summoned that same winds that proved to him of my true form. They whirled around us, unknown to anyone else. As we barely lifted from the ground, 2 wings of great physical difference grew from his back. One was like that of a bat, the other similar to one of my own, which I had kept hidden, at least for now.
We both questioned the unmatched wings, coming to the conclusion that they should be hid until further notice. I told him how to do so, but, even though they were gone from sight, I would constantly be asking myself, "How? I was the goddess of Balance for goodness sake!"
Silence pierced through the splashes of water on the ground and our still bodies. I needed to find that other boy now. "Where could he have gone? Maybe Rurik knows..." I ended the silence by asking, "Do you know anyone by the name Kanli?"
"I'm not good with names. Describe him." As I did, I could feel something come near. A feeling that I had recently experience. It was another Correct Soul. "I saw him this morning. Look, isn't that the guy just turning the corner?" I broke my hard concentration and turned to the corner Rurik was looking.
A young man, soaking wet with rain and closely watching the sidewalk, had just turned the corner. He looked up at our little shindig, then, thinking nothing of it, returned to his staring position. It seemed as though he was exhausted, as if he hadn't slept in weeks. "Not another insomniac..." I sighed as I began to walk towards him, Rurik following close behind.
I knew that it was the one from earlier that day, but something was different about him. No, not him; his aura. It was weak, much less intense than it had been in the kitchen. Slowly approaching Kanli, he barely seemed to notice movement. He also seemed a little shaken, like something bizzare had happened to him. "Kanli?" I said aloud. There was no reaction. "Are you Kanli?" I had raised my voice a bit. Still nothing...
I reached out to lift his head; I wanted to see his face. As I pulled it from it's limp position, I found that his eyes were closed. He was either asleep or dead. "Hello... I know you can't be dead. You were just walking!"
I held Kanli's jaw so that I could try some method of awaking him. Just as I went to slap him across his colorless cheek, his eyes rapidly open, staring right into my eyes; stabbing, gouging at me with near hatred.
"AHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!" I screamed out at the top of my lungs. I jumped so much from that startled look that I was clinging to Rurik's body for dear life. "Gah! That's one creepy and sinister look you got there, Kanli..."
Well, Engi, you can start posting for Kanli again. I guess you could say that Arain doesn't take scares very well... ^_^; Or maybe she's just the comic relief... v_v;
