Chesi was not amused when Vayu referred to her as a Ruffian. [color=blue]“Beg your pardon? I hope that comment wasn’t directed at me! Do you see the state I’m in? How can I possibly be a ruffian to anyone? Direct your anger to the weasel…”[/color]

And then Melanthe made her appearance known, and she transformed Kieran. [color=deepskyblue]“Nice dude!”[/color] Conner gave Kieran a high five.

Chesi laughed. [color=blue]“That form really does suit you. Melanthe you're grumpier than a cat that's run out of catnip! Give the boy some credit.”[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]“I think it’s time you explain to us what’s going on…”[/color] Conner requested.

[color=blue]“We’re missing one… Ugh, but he’s an imbecile anyway… He can catch up on his own… Ugh,  and Oro and her human seems to have taken off… Alright. But I guess we can’t hold this off…”[/color] Chesi cleared her throat. [color=blue]“You lot have been summoned to Arcanum. Magic is the lifeblood of this realm. Humans and magic exist in harmony. But as with all things, that harmony can be disrupted. An entity of unimaginable darkness seeks to consume and corrupt the magic that sustains us.”[/color]

Chesi then gestured to her companions. [color=blue]“The six of us were once its protectors. Masters of the Elemental magics. I, Chesi, could command the water with a mere thought. The seas bowed to my whim! I was also the most beautiful of the six.”[/color]

Chesi could feel some of the others staring daggers at her, and Chesi had to stop her story to address them. [color=blue]“What? I didn’t say I was the strongest, I didn’t say I was the most powerful, I didn’t say I was the smartest. I just want to be pretty. Let me have this! Ugh, anyway… The six of us tried to fight this entity. And for our efforts we were rewarded by being cursed into the forms you see now.”[/color]

[color=deepskyblue]“Ok cool… So how do we fit into all this…”[/color]

[color=blue]“Thankfully, Arcanum can take care of itself. Legends speak of six humans that would be brought here from another world to defend it from evil. And you all fit the bill.”[/color]

Conner’s eyes went wide. [color=deepskyblue]“Nice! So, where is this evil so we can kick its ass?”[/color]

[color=blue]“Not so fast! None of you have any idea what you’re doing. You need us to train you! And teach you to hone your abilities properly. We need to practice first.”[/color]

And then, as if on cue, a large shadowy bear with constellations on its body came out of nowhere, and roared at the group.

[color=blue]“Ooh, an Ursa Major. Perfect! There’s no better training than actual experience!”[/color]
