[IC] The Rise of the Guardian

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash shook her head and said “no I’m alright just got light headed a moment…sleeping upright and the last few days…taking a toll on me…but I’ll be fine just need to sit for a moment…”

[Jazz]

Kanarus Seemed to understand a bit of what she was talking about. "I understand. Maybe a spar could help get the blood flowing again. Sometimes a good exercise will help the body not only hone its skills but help the body flow the way its used to." The young assassin suggests.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash smiled weakly and said “maybe…” she got up and looked around to find something to train with for a moment then saw the two other assassins fighting. She tilted her head, their foreign styles very familiar to her. She walked forwards them, trying to place it.

Then a flash hit her, making her eyes go white. Warriors yelling in battle, a young boy crying out as flames surrounded him, a scream from a dark figure in a tower, stone covered dragons and warriors in a burned meadow, and a hooding figure running off with said boy in her arms. Then a voice said remember who you are. Remember who needs you. Remember those that are waiting for you

Ash fell forwards, her mind blacking out from the pressure.

Scarlet was getting up from the bed slowly, her body aching.

[Jazz]

"Ash? Ash!" Kanarus tried to get Ash's attention as her eyes when white. He then looked to his brothers. "Altoron! Mal! I think something is wrong with Ash!" Calling them for help. Altoron and Maltoran stopped their sparring to look at Kanarus before making their way toward the two. As they get to them, Ash fell and Kanarus caught her, then looked at his brothers confused. Altoron scooped Ash into his arms gently before heading to the barracks. Maltoran and Kanarus followed, having opened the door to their room and laying her on one of the beds.

Orion having gotten done with Carth's examination, was making his way toward Scarlet's room. Once there, he knocked on the door. "Scarlet? Are you awake?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash was limp in his arms and when he laid her down she stirred slightly and turned her head, her eyes moving under the lids.

Scarlet sighed and said “yes come on in. My body is in one piece…just hurts to move…is everyone okay?”

[Jazz]

The trio looked at each other unsure what to do so in the meantime, Maltoran and Kanarus went to the market to stock up on supplies while Altoron stayed in the room with Ash. He took to checking his equipment and tending to his weapons.

Orion opened the door as he slid himself in and closed it. He went over to the bed and set his bag aside. "Well, Carth changed back but was exhausted and disoriented by the experience. He should be alright with rest while Ash went to check on the assassins." He explains while setting the station up. "Alright. Ready for me to check on your back?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

After a few minutes ash stirred and opened her eyes slightly, looking around. “What…happened…” tried to sit up slowly.

Scarlet nodded and moved to slip her shirt off for him. “How’s it looking?”

[Jazz]

Altoron looked toward Ash when she woke up. Having asked what happened, Altoron had gotten back to attending to his gear. "You had blacked out. Not sure what had happened to Tigger such an event but we brought you to our room to rest.

Orion could see the soaked up blood and see it still had a bit to go in healing. But with the herbs it was going a lit smoother. "Still have quite a ways to go but it should be fine within a week. Maybe less if you rest. But no infection so that is good." He begins applying salve and new bandages, once wrapped. He cleans everything up.

"Abit more bed rest is in order before getting up and about. I shall have some crutches brought over for you should you want to go and see what the mess hall has for breakfast."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash held her head and said “I’m not sure…I saw images and flashes…like from another life…stone dragons…battle fields…”

Scarlet smiled and said “that sounds good…I think we all could rest”

[Jazz]

Thinking of what she said, Altoron wondered what could have triggered such images and why. "Interesting. Is this maybe a vision of the past?" He asks.

Orion nods in agreement. Yes they could. Especially for all that has happened so far, they need all the rest they can get. "I'll be hanging around the compound if you need anything." He leaves it at that and leaves the room.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and said “I believe so…I’ve had flashes before but never like this…it started when I was watching you and your brother fighting before. I knew the style and thinking about it…made my memory…” she flinched and held her face a moment.

Scarlet nodded and said “I’ll head down to the compound as soon as I get dressed…”

[Jazz]

Altoron thought about this for a bit wondering how thier fighting style could make her remember something so long ago. "Have you had this happen before? What do you remember from those?" He asked.

One of the medics had come over after a bit with a pair of crutches. She Knocks on the door. "Lady Scarlet? I brought some crutches for you as instructed."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash thought and said “not that I could remember the images. Most of the time it’s the emotions I remember…” she held her head then her eyes opened. “Is the fighting styles part of your order or where you and your brothers are from?”

Scarlet opened the door and said “thank you…perfect timing”

[Jazz]

"Order know many of styles of fighting, especially the with swords. Ours is what Maltoran and I have mastered within our order. It is the first style we learn." Altoron explains.

The medic nods before handing them to Scarlet before leaving.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and held her head as she got up saying “it must be linked…to my past that’s missing…and to Carths dragon side…” she stood and moved to pace around but she stumbled and had to grab the bed her head pounding.

Scarlet started to limp to the compound, hoping she wouldn’t get lost.

[Jazz]

"The order has been around for many generations, perhaps you may have encountered someone of our order in your past." Altoron watched her carefully when she had stumbled while pacing. "I suggest you sit down before you fall on your face." He began thinking about ways that Ash could find out more information about her visions of the past. Her head lowered a little where his eyes were hard to see. Maybe there was a way. But it was incredibly risky either route that would be taken.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash nodded and sat back down and said “last night took a toll I think…but I can’t just sit here. I have to get to Carth and make sure he is alright…more of those creatures could show up…”

[Jazz]

The hooded warrior the anxiousness Ash seemed to be showing when it came to Carth. He looked at curious. "May I ask your relation to Carth. What he means to you?" He asks her. Trying to see the bigger picture.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash blinked and said “his my friend. He…has been with me this whole time and hasn’t left me when thing a got hard. And seeing he needs me…I have to protect him …I need to…” she suddenly sounded different, her voice changing a little. Then the markings on her back glowed softly. Reacting to her emotions.

“His alone in the world…I want to fox that…”

[Jazz]

Altoron tilted his head at the last part. Wondering what she was talking about. "Fix it how? How is he alone if he has you and Lady Scarlet?" He asks Ash, wondering what changed.
