Vai was seeing that her efforts to calm the townsfolk were in vain, and tries to take a moment to center herself like Fei had told her to... but then Dom and Tamina had dismounted, and Dom was throwing a bottle at her... with claws rather than true hands, she struggles to catch it, not entirely in control for several seconds as she juggles the decanter.
Eventually though, she is able to get the bottle properly gripped in her draconic claws and points it at the ablaze building.
The juvenile blue notices nothing out of the ordinary for the blaze - indeed, to her it seems like a bonfire that would spread quickly to the nearby buildings unless brought under control.
"Moon's Rage!" she shouts, having flared her wings. Dom's advice rang true - if she could show that she was here to help, maybe she could convince the villagers not to be afraid.
"We'll see what we can do about it, Tybalt. It's possible just finding away to remove the stone can return it to normal, but it's going to be embedded in it's flesh, and it's going to resist."
Midori blushes every so slightly as she realizes that Hew-kun had seen her look him up and down. "Ah... no, Hew-kun. Gomen ne." she says a bit awkwardly.
"I see Zilla-chan." Strangely, Midori doesn't seem upset about Grim-kun joining her friends on the sun.
"Arigatou ne." she says to the lunchlady as she takes a few of the lunch boxes prepared and some bottles of water.
"Here let me take a box." He takes a few boxes into his free hand. He nods to the lunchy. "Thanks." After that he smiled to Midori. "Lets not keep the others waiting."
Zilla flies over the top of the water and takes hold of the handle. She lifted the water straining to keep it in the air with her. "I'll take the wa-ter I can't do anything else really to help." She tells them.
The decanter sprayed out a gyzer of salt water. The force was almost to much even for the dragon the control. Quickly Dom performed some sort of martial arts kata forcing the water to spred building showering the entire building.
He smiles to Tami giving her a wink before returning his attention to the fires. Ajusting to spread were more water is needed.
The three winged fiends all point a claw at the warehouse's new 'door' and a green beam leaps from each to strike the unseen figure there. Then with a cry, two of them charge directly for the hole, while the third flies through it to land on the other side.
"Here let me take a box." He takes a few boxes into his free hand. He nods to the lunchy. "Thanks." After that he smiled to Midori. "Lets not keep the others waiting."
Zilla flies over the top of the water and takes hold of the handle. She lifted the water straining to keep it in the air with her. "I'll take the wa-ter I can't do anything else really to help." She tells them.
"No no, Zilla-chan. You're helping just by coming along, ne? I'll take it." Midori says firmly as she puts a hand on the bottle, especially not that Hew-kun was carrying the lunches. "Okay... anything you need? I carry most of everything I need with me all the time." she motions to the pouches strapped around her leg.
Ehos takes note of the three fiends attacking a seemingly invisi... Phaeze! He was invisible... Ehos tries the telepathic link, attemping contact his friend, as the elf struggles to his feet. He still had no weapon, and no magic. ::Phaeze! Are you here?:: he still sound disoriented. Dying is like that though.
I don't know, should I forget it forever? maybe I need that memory as well. lets get Miss Jones, I am confused right now, I don't know what to do
Melody looks at Ginni, Thank you, and I'm sorry, I wish you didn't have to see that. Guess I'm not so strong after all.
"You're plenty strong. Being strong doesn't mean you take everything on yourself without relying on anyone. I'm here to help. That's what friends do."
I've never had friends, except for Dom, we were always on the move never in one place long enough for real friends. We had be strong for each other, protect each other
Melody seems to start relaxing more waiting for Miss Jones to arrive.

Melody seems to start relaxing more waiting for Miss Jones to arrive.
"I know how that goes. I never had friends or any place to belong either before I came here. I didn't even have a sibling to rely on. It's tough being alone. It's why my friends are so important to me."
The door to Miss Jones room finally opened. She appeared as put together as she always did, but there was a strong scent of seaweed from her room.
Repp takes a deep audible breath though his nose, and then bows and speaks to the severe looking woman. "Ah... it was Miss Jones, yes? There are a few of my fellow students who have requested your presence in the Enchantment classroom." he straightens, looking up at her with a small smile, enjoying life greatly.
While he was speaking, however, Miss Jones could feel a very subtle probing of her mind by the bleached white gnome. She would doubt that she would even notice it if she wasn't a powerful specialist of mind-based magic.
Yrrin steps toward the demoness, his armor flashing blue and its magic making him tower higher
"Begone Temptress of the Pits!" he shouts and strikes at the unholy being
and uses his mental link with the telepath to ask, ::What is going on? There are other demons...What are they doing?::
The white stone of the sun seemed to glow with a warm inner light. The area was full of carvings that seemed to depict some sort of story. It looked like it might be about the creation of the sun.
Lang looks to Pyra and Ignace
what to think of these carvings? do they match what you remember about the Sun? I think it tells the story of the Sun's creation
Lang looks to see if there are further places to explore, maybe an inner sanctum. or maybe another level further in.

Repp gets a slightly painful zing when he tried to probe her mind, the mental equivalent of being slapped with a ruler, likely a standard precaution from someone who teaches enchantment classes.
"Thank you, Mr.....I don't believe we've met yet. Though it would appear you will be in my class starting on Monday."
Repp flinches ever so slightly at the rebuff, and then looks sheepish afterward, though his genial smile never wavers. "Ah.. my name is very long, Miss Jones. I'm sure you're aware of the gnomish race's propensity for changing our names at a whim. I am Repparyn and that doesn't change. You are correct about class. My apologies if I was rude... it is something of a reflex. I am small, as you can see, and knowing if I need to defend myself has saved my life many times. You can never trust people to be what they appear." he says simply. "Now... there was Ginni and.. a student with whom I am not acquainted, who requested your presence. The other student seemed to be having some kind of episode."

The other student seemed to be having some kind of episode."
"You are correct about that Mr. Repparyn. Especially here, no one is exactly what they seem," she said crisply. "And as the enchantment teacher I always keep various protections on my mind. I don't always even remember everything I have active at one time. Many layers is...prudent. We'll consider that fair warning."
"Thank you for delivering the message."
"And there's magics keeping it cool, this has got to be the place, was the last avatar some kind of wizard?"
"And there's magics keeping it cool, this has got to be the place, was the last avatar some kind of wizard?"
"Unlikely, but he would have had to work with wizards and the like to build this place...these carvings are incredible. I've never seen anything like this. We have no record like this of the sun being built," she said, examining the carvings.
"This part of the wall glows blue instead of yellow....I think it might be a door?" Ignace said from the far corner of the room.
"And there's magics keeping it cool, this has got to be the place, was the last avatar some kind of wizard?""Unlikely, but he would have had to work with wizards and the like to build this place...these carvings are incredible.

we should write these down and save them. Professor Salis would definately be interested as well.
Lang hurries to Ignace we should be carful. Lets finish in here first.
Lang looks around a bit as the others are looking about the room
you looked beautiful in your bird form, maybe we could go flying together sometime
"Oh.. Hey Lang can you do like magic, I know you got the bending thing but can you like cast spells too?" He looks at the walls
Pyra pulled a small device out of her pocket and used it to record the images on the walls, walking very slowly to make sure no details were missed.
Lang looks back at grim No, sorry, I can't cast spells.
"And there's magics keeping it cool, this has got to be the place, was the last avatar some kind of wizard?""Unlikely, but he would have had to work with wizards and the like to build this place...these carvings are incredible.

She blushed. "It doesn't seem fair to Chara to go flying in front of her when she can't," she said in a practiced excuse from someone who is very uncomfortable with her natural form. "That and I don't want to set things on fire..."
He shrugs "eh, guess you don't need them what with your bending and stuff but still it'd be cool, do stuff other than move stuff"
I take Chara flying with me several times she can come along also. and besides I can move water around now so I'll just put out all the fires.
Lang seems a little bit embarrased I like spending time with you, and Chara
Before he says something even more embarassing Lang looks back. we should tell everyone about this possible door ok?
He shrugs "eh, guess you don't need them what with your bending and stuff but still it'd be cool, do stuff other than move stuff"
Yeah I guess so, we each have our own special abilities, that's what makes us all special, and what makes us a great team
"We'll see what we can do about it, Tybalt. It's possible just finding away to remove the stone can return it to normal, but it's going to be embedded in it's flesh, and it's going to resist."
"kinda like getting a splinter out."
"No no, Zilla-chan. You're helping just by coming along, ne? I'll take it." Midori says firmly as she puts a hand on the bottle, especially not that Hew-kun was carrying the lunches. "Okay... anything you need? I carry most of everything I need with me all the time." she motions to the pouches strapped around her leg.
Zilla crosses her arms After Midori took the water away. "This being small sucks. It's even hard to work magic in this body." While complaining she follows along flying above.
Hew glances to Zilla, while trying to watch where he walked. "Midori's just doesn't want you getting hurt. So don't get mad at her."
Hew saying something only seemed to further her anoyance. "You know as well as me that this body isn't going to get hurt carrying a little water."
He shrugs "eh, guess you don't need them what with your bending and stuff but still it'd be cool, do stuff other than move stuff"Yeah I guess so, we each have our own special abilities, that's what makes us all special, and what makes us a great team
"Guess you're right, I guess you can do that like all day right, and it is really cool you can like punch the air and *fwoosh* you know"

Yeah, I never thought of it being cool, now that scythe thing...that is really cool. the way you spin that thing around like some sort of super chopper upper I would probably chop my own head off if I tried.
after giving Pyra time to finish Lang goes to the door Ignace found. at least what we think is a door.
Grim, you know any magic to figure this out? if not I was going to try and touch it.
"Well I could try a knock spell is there a knob or something, here let me look at it"
"We'll see what we can do about it, Tybalt. It's possible just finding away to remove the stone can return it to normal, but it's going to be embedded in it's flesh, and it's going to resist.""kinda like getting a splinter out."
"Yeah. It's just a really dangerous splinter."
As the continue up the mountain in search of a way in, the wind shifts to blow at them from the right. With the change comes a strange scent... like cold ash.
Just outside at the front of the school, Tryko'Sam was kicking a few small rocks around and examining the various plant life, killing time while waiting for people to arrive. From where he was standing, however, looking down towards the town of Kuros at one point, he frowned at the sight of smoke.
"Well, shit... that isn't good, or is it?" Focusing his attention in that heading, he seemed suddenly quite surprised at what he saw.
>> Holy crap! <<
He stood there a moment, trying to figure out what he should do next.
"Yeah. It's just a really dangerous splinter."As they continue up the mountain in search of a way in, the wind shifts to blow at them from the right. With the change comes a strange scent... like cold ash.
Tybalt becomes slightly worried when the scent kicks up. Ashes meant fire. And fire is not good.
The wind starts to move in a couple different directions not as strong as a natural wind. He tries to pick up on any other scents that could give anything away.
"Hold up... You guys smell that?"
Phaezeriel staggers as the beams strike him, leeching away his life energy. Luckily, only the first blade strikes home. The assault shatters his concentration, and he flickers back to visibility a few moments later.
He responds to Ehos, a wry tone in his voice, ::I am here. But likely for not much longer. These three are here for me. They are more dangerous than the other one.::
Phaezeriel's secondary mind purges the negative effect the fiends have had on his life force, then enhances the collective with improved combat data.
Phaezeriel's primary mind reaches into the fourth dimension, forcing the fiend between him and Yrrin to recall agony from wounds it has yet to suffer.

The air in front of him started to clump together until it turned into a vid screen just sort of hovering there in the air. The screen switched on to show a young woman, her black hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing what might be a gi.
"Excuse me, er....Tri....Try.....how do you pronounce your name?"
"Hold up... You guys smell that?"
::Yes. I am not sure what it means. Perhaps someone had a bonfire nearby? But what did they burn?::
The scent of cold ash fades after a few moments, but not before Dave* sees something black flying away in the distance.
"You are correct about that Mr. Repparyn. Especially here, no one is exactly what they seem," she said crisply. "And as the enchantment teacher I always keep various protections on my mind. I don't always even remember everything I have active at one time. Many layers is...prudent. We'll consider that fair warning."
"Thank you for delivering the message."
"Not at all." Repp says graciously, "And I understand the need to keep one's mind sacred."
"Would it be too much of an imposition to join you? I would very much like to see you work." Repp says casually, as if 'working' on the mind of a seemingly traumatized girl was no more interesting than discussing the weather.
"There!" Tyrrin's sharp eye spot something black flying away in the distance. A raven? The hairs of the back of her neck rise a little. "Did anyone get a better look? I just saw something black flying away from us."
Tybalt's ears flicker around and his nose wrinkles a bit. He opens his eyes to see a black shape flying past. "I can follow unseen but not keep the snow off at the same time. Should I?"
As soon as Phaezeriel's telepathy enters her mind, Vai freezes, now she definitely sounds panicked. "Dom how do I shut this off, I have to go, now!! My friend is in danger!!"
::Phaeze!! I'm coming as fast Is I can. Give me the location again.::
Dave drops Tyb's rope and takes to the air to get a better view
"No, the snow outside Tybalt's dome is making it hard for me to see far."If it's flying away though we shouldn't worry much."
