Fei managed to finish his meal after Phaezeriel left for his errand. He was still a bit puzzled as to why his appetite had diminished - it was not that the meal was unappealing, it was just that the monk was...not hungry.
Depositing his tray on the way out, he decides to finally investigate the new lake. As he makes his way down to the shoreline, he notes the unusual change in the wind, and the rather...
1d20+32
...elevated tension levels of the new-year students gathered around it.
He walks up to the group and bows respectfully.
"Good evening. Is all...well here? You all seem...concerned about something..."
the snakes hissing doesnt sound angry.... but the snakes head is near the neck of a young man who at the moment looks uneasy...
[ooc] How do you react? LOL ]/ooc]
Anahita appears to watch as the Sheess speaks, smiling faintly. She looks back between Fei and Sheess.
Upon the arrival of Fei, Anahita turns slightly to regard him now, first his face, then his garb and gear, if any.
"This young one appears to be attempting to impose order, by commanding the winds. I do not understand what the snake thing and this draconic female were speaking of. This one here, he is ..elsewhere, I think, in thought. I am only recently arrived. Greetings."
"Hello, Anahita. I hope your first day has been well thus far," Fei replies to her greeting. She notes that (despite the wind) not a hair on on the young monk's head nor a fold of his school uniform seems to be in any disarray.

"Hello, I have managed to calm....most of the situation.... I am Sheess, Who are you?"the snakes hissing doesnt sound angry.... but the snakes head is near the neck of a young man who at the moment looks uneasy...
Aquan:
Lang stop almost immediately.
I'm sorry everyone, I've had a very trying day.
He looks to Kiara, an airbender is a title, to represent what i can do, I can control air and wind He looks to Anahita
To you am am very sorry, I relly had no intention of fright its just that sometimes when I get agitated I start to gather my defenses. I am not an Avatar of any god, I am "the Avatar" something I just discovered today. I am desitined to be the master of all the elements. I already mastered air and to day I started to lean the basics of water. eventually i will lean earth and fire. ther still is alot for me to learn.
Lang takes a seat on the grass annd motions for those thai wish to hear to have a seat as well.
it all started this morning, when I was suddenly assiled by several visions. I learned that these were all lesser spirits seeking my attention, they had a message for me. I entered a trance and that's when my forst power manifested. I entered the world of the spirits. there I met a nature spirt that was caged, being held prisoner. held by magic from this world. I talked to the spirit, I shared its thoughts and it shared its memories. I felt its pain and its anger. I made a promise to help the spirit and the one bound to it.
Lang looks down I have yet to talk to Professor reading about it, perhaps tomorrow. but now that I know and understand its rage I want to help it.
then later i wanted to shre my feelings with Ignace del Sol, a girl I like, but all i did was make her cry. then she began to ignite the air. when her flames lashed out at me it singed my hands he shows his redened hands from the minor burn. it was then I learned I was the avatar. it was like over a hundred spirits entered me and we worked in hamony to qwell the flame and calm Ignace down. it was then for the first time I got to hold her.
you asked if I am a god? the answer is NO, I am the bridge between worlds, ours, and the spirits. I am the current body of a long line of reincarnations. when i pass then my spirit will be guide for the next avatar and that avatar will be a reincarnation of me. we seek balance between worlds., that is why i am at this school, to learn how to do that.
A meeting of such power, Vare had not witnessed in a long time. The... girl? from earlier... the majestic serpent named Sheess, the channeler of Four, a draconic being which seemed to shift between five heads and one, and what appeared to be simply a roiling explosion with a green padlock keeping it in check. Not wishing to inject himself into such a delicate situation, Vare simply watches for any more signs of hostility. He wakens Rena with a touch, just in case her strength was needed.
"That sounds wonderful. I hope that there will be too," she said, eyes closed in pleasure as he touched her ears. Apparently they were quite sensitive."It's hard for me to believe that good things can happen to me. I'm trying to learn not to doubt it when they do."
'I always seem to ruin good things, and I really don't want to ruin this. You have to tell me when I'm screwing it up, okay?' Ehos gives Jaiye a chance to read what he had 'wrote' before nuzzling her ear, seeing how much she enjoyed it. He wishes he could whisper into them. That would probably drive her crazy.
"You'll be fine, Ardiente, even if it doesn't feel like it now."
"Get some rest. You look like you could use it."
"I will. Thanks again for listening to my crazed rants." he finishes with a wink before making for the door.
"Hello, Anahita. I hope your first day has been well thus far," Fei replies to her greeting. She notes that (despite the wind) not a hair on on the young monk's head nor a fold of his school uniform seems to be in any disarray.
Anahita merely nods a greeting in return, physically and says, "My day has been.. completely different than others. I trust yours has gone equally well?" Her eyes move from Fei to Lang once he goes on his speech.
... snip ...
After a few moments of Lang's speech, she looks around at others with a furrowed brow and expression of annoyance, then to Kiara, her furrowed brow fading and then the calmness returns. She considers the group of people once more and looks off. Various thoughts were playing on her features as she was in thought.
Another quick glance to Vare, the Professor, before walking away.
The expression on her face, with a slight shake of her head, was one of frustration. Her path taking her off and away from the company of the others.
"Such arrogance.. master of the elements." she quietly muttered to herself in Kelesh, her native tongue, some distance away while continuing on her path to a quiet place filled with nature and lacking people.
"Indeed. Dara Jhiwoon is one of our more difficult cases. He came to this school so traumatized that he is unable to speak. It took months of work with him to get him to a point where he could even tolerate being in a classroom with other children." She paused. "What you did would have been bad enough if only directed at older students. Towards a child....that is unforgivable."
"Expulsion was mentioned as a possible consequence, but we think there is a better option. A true second chance as it were." She held up the vial in her hand. "If you drink this, you can stay."
Kaze takes the vial from Ephebe, looking panicked again at the mention of expulsion. "Am I allowed to know what it is I'm agreeing to?" Kaze knew about some of the alchemy professors concotions... he'd rather be expelled with nowhere to go...
Lang stop almost immediately.

Fei listens to the young monk's exposition, noting with some concern the presence of yet another of these element-linked 'benders'. First Ardiente, now this person. Coincidence seems the least-likely reason for so many with similar gifts converging on Avalon at this one time.
Betraying none of these thoughts through his calm, attentive visage, he simply nods.
"Avalon Academy is...perhaps...the best place to learn such things. It would seem there is a great need for such...balance here," he continues as he looks around at the others.
Kaze takes the vial from Ephebe, looking panicked again at the mention of expulsion. "Am I allowed to know what it is I'm agreeing to?" Kaze knew about some of the alchemy professors concotions... he'd rather be expelled with nowhere to go..."Indeed. Dara Jhiwoon is one of our more difficult cases.

"It will not harm you. I am not certain whether you will retain your memories or not though. As I said, it is a second chance."
sheess slithers off of the monk's shoulder with a hastily whispered goodbye... and follows the leaving female
Kaze knew about some of the alchemy professors concotions... he'd rather be expelled with nowhere to go...
Kaze shrugs. Has to be better than his shitty life thus far. It wasn't like it would get any better if he refused. He drinks the vial.

::Falling through the air with your little brother will do that. This whole situation seems really stressful for them both no matter how you look at it. Just give them some time.::
::My fault. I'm going to go apologize. Thank you Taron.:: Vai gives her older brother a quick hug, and Taron can feel gratefulness through the telepathy, but also that Vai is still worried about her actions in the heat of combat, such as it could be called that.
Kaze immediately begins to cry, throwing a tantrum at being in such a weird space.

Seeing the reaction of some of the others.
Lang feels he's done more harm than good once again.
Lang stands bows to everyone I didn't seek this, I din't ask for this. after what i am seeing, I don't even want this anymore.
Lang turns away from those that still remain.
I'd give it all up, If I could just finally be a normal kid like before I started all of this. Maybe Ignace is right, I just keep making enemies instead of friends. Lang starts to solmnly walk back towards his dorm room.
Anahita eventually finds a place with more trees nearby, perhaps some rocks, even if it takes a healthy walk to get there. By the time she reaches it, her calmness and glancing around has returned.
Finding a spot, she reaches down and shifts one or two small rocks, then sits, cross legged, with hands on her knees. She seems to merely breath in the air, remain mostly quiet and impassive, taking in all the motions and sounds of the surrounding area. Her hair billows slightly with any breeze that blows by.
Since her mighty stride got her ahead of Sheess quite a bit while arriving here, as he approaches (unless supremely stealthy!) she turns to face it's approach and says some words in Aquan, "ہیلو، پانی کے جانور. تم مجھ سے کیوں کی پیروی کیا؟ میں نے آپ کی مدد کی ضرورت ہے؟"
She does, however, keep a wary eye on the snake as it slithers up towards her. She, herself, seems to have no hostile intentions or manner about her, but if the creature is in any way perceptive, it would know that she is cautious of it's movements and not one to simply give her personal space to it without permission. In other words, she seems ready to react if Sheess comes too close.
he sees what just happened, then relaxes a little. "i don't... feel right..."
A while later you hear the sound of some one calling your name from one of the tunnels then there is a swish of light some one is looking for you.

After a moment's reflection, Fei catches up with the younger monk.
"I do not wish to intrude... but perhaps it is that a story such as yours may only be properly understood by those of monastic tradition. While I am not at liberty to identify them, there are other students here who share your 'bending' ability (though none to the degree you have described)."
"If you are to help others and effect balance in the world around you, you should first achieve that balance in yourself. Perhaps that can be achieved more quickly by confiding in and seeking counsel from these others first...? I...may be able to request a meeting with some of them, as well as Sabumnim Sunwake - unless you have already met with her, of course."
Vare knew that pain. The pain of wishing you hadn't been born with the gifts you had. Until he had met Rena, that had been every day of his life. He falls into stride beside Fei as Fei makes his way to catch up. He listens as Fei says his piece.
"In addition," he adds as Fei finishes speaking to the young Avatar "Do not let how others perceive you affect who you are. You are a sweet, caring person, even I can see that. Your eagerness will make some enemies, but forget those people. You cannot make everyone happy. Sometimes you cannot make anyone happy, not even yourself. Just keep your head up. Someday your dream will come true." and then shortly after, to the side, he says rather playfully to the air, "Hush you."
"Are you saying that I am your Dream come true Vare?" Rena asks playfully, flicking her tail.
he sees what just happened, then relaxes a little. "i don't... feel right..."A while later you hear the sound of some one calling your name from one of the tunnels then there is a swish of light some one is looking for you.
When you come towards him,his humanoid form is growing more solid, more distinct. he is obviously in a great deal of pain. "what... is going on? i don't... uggg...." his voice sounds much clearer, as if vocal cords were involved.

"I am wondering what altercation you had with the human dragon... And I enjoy learning more of people..."
the scaled creature watches her watch him, his scales a sleek shiny blue...
Kaze immediately begins to cry, throwing a tantrum at being in such a weird space.
Ephebe uses what used to be his shirt as a blanket to wrap him up in and picks him up, patting his back softly.
"There, there. No need to cry. Things are going to be better for you this time around," she said in a soothing tone.
sits up from his seat "ah good, your ok, er it was nothing," he blushes lightly "so what was that, that thing with the metal?"
"Ah.. the reason why Otousama and Okaasama wanted me to come to Avalon... my control over that... ability is somewhat... unrefined. I wasn't even trying to use it on dinner, I was just thinking that metal sushi would be funny. In the past... my family has had to knock me unconscious physically, as we have no access to such magic." Midori seems a great deal more subdued than before, her curious eyes dim and sleepy, thanks to Grim's exhaustion spell.

"Unconsciousness seems like a rather inelegant solution to the problem...I think we may need to sign you up for meditation classes.

Lang stops Thank you Professor Vare
turning to Fei I have only met Morrivan and she started to teach me some water bending. I haven't met anyone else, i don't think anyone really knows. If you think this Sabummmmnnn person can help then I would like to meet her
lang apparently cannot pronounce her name very well.
Thank Fei Lang looks at the night sky, I think its getting late I should get some rest. Busy day tomorrow.
Lang bows to Fei and Vare and Kiara Goodnight.....Friends Lang truggles with the last word wanting to use it but scared at the same time.
As he walks past Anahita and Sheess. Good night...I'm sorry I made you mad at me, I guess I still have alot to learn
Kaze immediately begins to cry, throwing a tantrum at being in such a weird space.Ephebe uses what used to be his shirt as a blanket to wrap him up in and picks him up, patting his back softly.
"There, there. No need to cry. Things are going to be better for you this time around," she said in a soothing tone.
"I hope so."
When you come towards him,his humanoid form is growing more solid, more distinct. he is obviously in a great deal of pain. "what... is going on? i don't... uggg...." his voice sounds much clearer, as if vocal cords were involved.
Johnny is covered in crud from head to toe, it looks like s/he must have fallen in every pile of c**p getting to you. S/he rushes over and walks into some thing on s/he wrist.
"Found them, the drones so much scrap, but Roel here and alive, Storm he looks hurt bad"
a voice comes back full of re-leaf
"Thank the stars, Roel we'er going to get you out of there ok, johnny can get you to me, just do as he says, I am really sorry about this I had no idea"
Johnny comes over to help you.
Roel
"what... is going on? i don't... uggg...."
Johnny
"Roel look we have to get you out of here"
Johnny places a device down on the ground.
"This well help the displace lock on us, I need you to hold still ok, I can see your in pain but keep still, I'm going to try and get us out."
as johnny comes over he looks at Roel.
"Storm, I thought you said this guy was a being of acid, because he scanning as part humanoid, I can even see internals forming, hes talking with sound"
As he walks past Anahita and Sheess. Good night...I'm sorry I made you mad at me, I guess I still have alot to learn
While keeping an eye on the approaching Sheess, Anahita looks up and over at Lang when he walks over.
After he speaks, she says calmly, "You assume too much to think you made me mad. I claim to barely be the master of my own reactions to the world around me, not due to what you have done. Thus, there is no apology offered that I will accept. Avoid the path of arrogance is my advice, self-professed master of the Elements. Yours may be a better existence if you assume less mastery and more unity with that which you can bid favors of. Everything around you is a part of a whole, of which, none are masters, merely travelers and witnesses of." she motions around her.
"Then again, perhaps I am the arrogant one, trying to give council to someone who, by all accounts, is destined to something I know little of. The ways of the Gods are not mine, but often I find people who claim to have full awareness of their actions, or do not take ownership in their own lives happy to be steered like an ox." She frowns at the end of her statement and sits there, her calmness seems to have faded a touch, given her thoughts.
You seem very much like a council member...." The snake murmurs in a thoughtful tone.... "why do you confront all whose words are not chosen with the greatest care? "
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"I hope so."Kaze immediately begins to cry, throwing a tantrum at being in such a weird space.Ephebe uses what used to be his shirt as a blanket to wrap him up in and picks him up, patting his back softly.
"There, there. No need to cry. Things are going to be better for you this time around," she said in a soothing tone.
"Well, he certainly has a much better chance."
"Umm....probably an awkward time to think of this....know anyone who wants to adopt a two year old?" she asked sheepishly.
words
"Get... me out of here..." his voice sounds almost human, and breathing can be heard. he appears in the medical ward, and the equipment sustains horrible damage instantly. "what... is going on?
Lang smiles at Anahita thank you for you words I guess my choice of words did seem out of place. I hope one day truelly call you friend
Lang bows goodnight, please enjoy your night
lang glances at Sheess and you, don't stay out to late you have to keep Sorun safe tomorrow from my science experiments. Goodnight friend, I will learn to understand you one day
"Umm....probably an awkward time to think of this....know anyone who wants to adopt a two year old?" she asked sheepishly.
"Not a clue. I'll ask around though."
"Umm....probably an awkward time to think of this....know anyone who wants to adopt a two year old?" she asked sheepishly.
You seem very much like a council member...." The snake murmurs in a thoughtful tone.... "why do you confront all whose words are not chosen with the greatest care? "
Having just spoken with Lang, Anahita peers over at the snake speaking to her in Aquan, again.
Speaking in Aquan to Sheess, Anahita says, "مجھے معاف کر دو، سانپ، لیکن - میں کونسل کے رکن کے آپ کے استعمال سے ناواقف ہوں. کے لئے مقابلہ ہے کہ آپ کیا اشارہ کر رہے ہیں؟ کیا آپ کا مطلب ہے، الفاظ کے طور پر پوچھ گچھ کہ لوگ بولتے ہیں جب وہ مجھ سے واضح ہے؟ کیا آپ کو پتہ چلتا ہے کہ میں جہالت میں صرف دنیا جب مجھے پتہ نہیں ہے جو پیش کیا جاتا ہے قبول؟"
She furrows her brow and says to Lang quickly, "Forgive my speaking to this snake in the language of Water, I do not believe it knows Taldan, or what you might call the Common Tongue." She then considers the snake for a few more moments.
Then she waits, giving Lang a nod in response to his comments, though she still studies him with a furrow of her brow.
You take everything at face value .....only seeing the meaning on the surface, everything said you twist like an ocean current..." He says this not insultingly "he said he must "master the elements....he means master his control over the elements...not master them such as proclaim himself ruler of them...."
Always in aquan
"Umm....probably an awkward time to think of this....know anyone who wants to adopt a two year old?" she asked sheepishly."Not a clue. I'll ask around though."
"Thanks. I'm gonna take him over to the lab first to get fitted with some clothes, a self-cleaning diaper, and to let Dara see what happened to his attacker. I'm hoping that it will help him feel at ease knowing that Kaze is harmless now."
