"Woah now, wasn't that just a really weird language barrier confusion?" He turns to the new comer "hi I'm Grim"
Ardiente's eyes snap open. When his body was knitting itself together, a slash of light purple appeared front-to-back in his hair, and his eyes now have flecks of deep purple colour in them. The tattoo on his arm is completely gone, the magic unravelled by his death. He looks around disoriented for a second or two. He thought he was dead... he had been dead. He looks around, suddenly realizing the situation. Raelle was here... and her tattoos were plainly visible for everyone - including the council - to see. He had to protect her.
With a grunt of exertion, he pulls up a wall of stone between them and the council, and flips skillfully to his feet. The feel of fire on him.... healing his wounds. He would have time for grief later, when Raelle was safe. His stance is one ready to defend her, standing between her and their assailants.
"That would probably be best.""It's okay, you know, to admit you don't know stuff. They respect that more. And most of them need someone to listen to them more than they need someone to tell them what to do. I know I could have used that at their age. Try to get to know them one or two at a time. At least, that's what worked best for me. The ones that know you will help convince the others to take you seriously."
"And now, I'm afraid you have quite exhausted my meager stock of wisdom." ^.^
With a sigh he responds. "Yes I get that a lot. I try not to come off as knowing everything. There is much I do know. I wouldn't do things the way I do if I did know everything. I wish I knew how to come off differently... I'm sure you have much more wisdom that you give yourself credit for." Salis stood up from his seat. "Thank you for the talk, I shall see what I can do to come off differently. If you ever need someone to talk to I will be happy to lend you my company any time. Now i shall leave you to you meditations I know to many they are very important so I shall stop interrupting yours. Unless you wish for me to stay, till classes start."
Flies upward spiraling, then arcs over and lands near Ardiente, giveing off blasts of life saving flame
::We need to get her out of here now!::
To ardente- ::can't do that again. I'm gonna hide behind your rock wall,for a bit. That fire shouldn't go out for a very, very long time. I think I hurt myself.::

Alton calls out from above, floating in the air above the dias.
With a sigh he responds. "Yes I get that a lot. I try not to come off as knowing everything. There is much I do know. I wouldn't do things the way I do if I did know everything. I wish I knew how to come off differently... I'm sure you have much more wisdom that you give yourself credit for." Salis stood up from his seat. "Thank you for the talk, I shall see what I can do to come off differently. If you ever need someone to talk to I will be happy to lend you my company any time. Now i shall leave you to you meditations I know to many they are very important so I shall stop interrupting yours. Unless you wish for me to stay, till classes start."
"But...but..but...I don't wanna meditate anymore! Come on, at least give me an amusing anecdote about who put dirty socks in your desk drawer! Or who broke up with who or something! Gossip, news, anything but more meditation!"
"Uh....that didn't sound too desperate, did it?"
Zilla looks to everyone else. "Hew would never become so angry over a language barrier. I saw those visions you put in him. Those dreadful memories. Why would you have done something like that." Zilla's eye start filling with tears over the memories. She looks to the new comer Sara. With as friendly of a voice she can muster(not very) she tells Sara. "I'm sorry this isn't your fault, but I must go. I don't want to ruin this happy moment for everyone else." Zilla gets up from her seat and runs off. Her tray and food still left on the table.
::This is ridiculous!! We cannot keep killing our own people simply becasue there are differences! We will die out, then what will being pure matter? Pure dried out ashes of a long dead species? Is that the grand future you have planned for our people!??::
He screams at the council members
::YOU ARE NOT GODS!!::
"I don't understand.... What? Oh. Oh dear... I was...."
Grim lookes conflicted, he turns to he seated people "I'll be right back.. Maybe" he heads after zillia "wait, what visions!"
"Is it always like this here?"
Vriskra begins walking in the other direction.
Ace returns her smile with one of his own "You're quite welcome Tyrrin. Not sure about you, but I definitely consider you a good friend here." He then chuckles "Which is good, cuz it appears we're gonna spend some serious time together."
His tummy finally rumbles "I'm off to get breakfast. Would you like me to get you anything?"
"Don't go!" She is sad everyone is leaving at once. Her first friends and they all leave like this.
"Your safer without me, child..."
Sorchan finally made his way through the crowd and positioned himself in between where the children were and where the council was sitting. He glared at the guards and drew his very large sword.
"Now is not a good time for attacking. Now is a good time to stay still, shut up, and stay in one piece. I won't be using the flat of my blade if any of your makes a move against those children," he growled.
For now at least this gave the guards pause.
"But...but..but...I don't wanna meditate anymore! Come on, at least give me an amusing anecdote about who put dirty socks in your desk drawer! Or who broke up with who or something! Gossip, news, anything but more meditation!""Uh....that didn't sound too desperate, did it?"
Salis bursts into laughter. Then plops back down into a seated position. Smile from across him face makes him seems so much friendlier than before. "I'm not much for gossip but I think I have some things that could be along those lines. And no I don't think that was to desperate."
Salis tells her of the Dave and his thralls which leads to Raelle and his break up. Dom freaking out about his sister dating. Ehos and Jaiye's dating. And just about everything else that has became public knowledge. For someone that isn't into gossip he seems to have a lot.
"But you're my friend! I don't want you to leave!" She is becoming very sad now.
"But you're my friend! I don't want you to leave!" She is becoming very sad now.
"I.... Can't be in such a big group right now. If you want to talk... I'll be outside..."
She looks at the rest of the table with a fleeting look of confusion and making a hard decision at once. She runs after Vriskra. "Why do you not like being around people?"
"IMPUDENT CHILDREN!!!! YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO?!?!?!!!! YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!!" Fuego roared, jumping to his feet.
::pf. I doubt you've fought a day in your life. You can't do anything. You just lord over people so they become afraid of this tyrant who will kill someone because they are stronger then normal.::
<blink blink>
::Wow he can really throw a tantrum:: he says to Raelle
::You good, Ardie?::
"Recently, I discovered I had psionic power... It scares people. Even I m afraid to look at it, and it's a part of me. I hate it, but if i don't use it, even worse things happen. Before i knew about this, I scared everyone, all the time... And I'm still kind of afraid i will. My power still terrifies me... But if I don't try and accept it as part of me, it takes over. I would have been dead by now without settro's help... He actually thought i was worth saving... So I won't give up... But it's so hard..."
Lang looks to Sun.
Sun go with Sara, you are close to Vriskra help her to understand.
Sun nods in agreement.
Sheess please go with sun, he may need your help you usually know the right hings to say
Lang bows to Midori and Sorun. I am going to try and help Grim and Zilla. you guys are welcome to help also.
Lang goes after Grim
Zilla stops running once she's in the halls. where she braces herself against the wall crying out all the rage she had built inside. It had been such a happy moment. Tears fell down her face as she pressed her hands to her face. She wished she could retreat into the landscape but Hew's body would be left here without anyone to care for it. Who could she talk to Hew was resting in there mind and no one else new what they were shown or how they were shown. The memories that her a Hew shared flowed though her thoughts. The bullies the past teachers/ tormentors. This wasn't the work of that thing but instead her own memories. Where was safe for her and Hew? Couldn't they live a normal life. Why couldn't they live in peace.
Grim caught up as she was weeping to herself. Curled up on the ground.
"So you don't want to be around people so you don't scare them?"
Raelle leaned against the wall that Ardiente had made, listening to all of the yelling. She could see the crowd was starting to get restless now. This wasn't going anywhere good. But she was too exhausted to move. She didn't know how she'd done that thing where she put Ardiente back together again, but it had taken all her energy.
::Fi says that Fuego is really good at tantrums. Guess she was right.:: she replied to Mithros, her mental voice sounding exhausted.
Sun heads out with sara
Hello sara, vriskra
may I sit with you?
Grim keeps after her when she pauses "woah, you ok? I don't know what visions you were talking about, I'm sorry if I said something that offended you, are you ok?"
"So you don't want to be around people so you don't scare them?"
Yes...
Starts the generate lethal heat in the area, hoping to help Ardiente, but more importantly reinvigorate Raelle and Igni
::That was amazing, what you did. Hopefully this will give you some energy::
Lang goes to Zilla (grim probably there already)
Zilla?
lang comes behind Grim.
zilla? I meant it when I said we were all friends and that included you and Hew. Grim and I can help, you just have to let us
Starts the generate lethal heat in the area, hoping to help Ardiente, but more importantly reinvigorate Raelle and Igni
::That was amazing, what you did. Hopefully this will give you some energy::
Zilla lunges out at Grim grasping him in a hug. Still crying she hold on to him for comfort of any sort. After a few moments Lang catches up. Zilla leans back away from Grim. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to take you both away from everyone." She keeps sobbing but tries to continue. "No you didn't say anything to offend me or Hew. Lang you ether. It was when that thing put visions into Hew's mind. Hew and I are connected in the mind so visions that he sees I see. That things pushes visions of the worst things that happened to Hew into his mind. A kept them there. If Hew wouldn't have left when he did there was a good chance he would have attacked him. He thought he wanted to hurt me like the others tried. Hew has always protected me. That person used those visions to show his true intent. Her voice cracked with sobs.
Alton just shakes his head as the spear strikes him and glances off. As he drops down, his forms warps and shifts, turning him into a gigantic, winged reptile with scales like the night sky. A black dragon.
He flicks his tail and knocks the guards away, staring directly in Fuego's eyes.
::That wasn't sitting down.::
"Raelle, can you fly? I can carry you, but we need to run while whoever that is keeps them distracted. I can tunnel us out... probably." This situation wasn't the time for politeness and pleasantries... those would have to come later. Ardiente continues to feel more and more invigorated as the fire on him continues to burn.
Ace returns her smile with one of his own "You're quite welcome Tyrrin. Not sure about you, but I definitely consider you a good friend here." He then chuckles "Which is good, cuz it appears we're gonna spend some serious time together."
His tummy finally rumbles "I'm off to get breakfast. Would you like me to get you anything?"
Once Ace leaves Johnny will enter the room
"Hi Tyrrin? Could I talk to you for a moment, I have some news and a request if you have time"Johnny holds up a bagel and coffee s/he has for her as well.
There was a gasp from the crowd as Fuego threw the spear.
Sorchan ran forward and cleaved the brazier that stood in front of the dais, symbol of the council's power, in two.
"What kind of council are you?" he bellowed. "You attack children now? You aren't worthy of the name and I no longer recognize the authority of this council. As far as I'm concerned your government is null and void!"
He doesn't flinch at the sight of the black dragon.
"You're not helping by using that appearance, boy," he growled.
