Essence of Healing - Hylia

In one moment, she was nothing.

And in the next, she was everything.

These days, it took Healing a while to manifest...longer than the others, for sure. She was weakening, faster than everyone else. But that was the cycle of healing; one had to become weak in order to get better. The other Essences could feel her now; she took the form of a white dragon spirit, sitting on the carpet floor, eyes glazed and unseeing, mind and body uninhabited and empty. They could feel the Essence settling into the form, starting to regain thought and sight and sound and trying to get used to these strange new feelings once more.

Bravery had already left prior to Healing finally waking up. She noticed her companions, Wisdom, Innocence, and Kindness. She could feel Bravery nearby. Where were the others? They took so long in waking up these days, it wouldn't be surprising if they manifested months after Healing did.

Healing did not say hello. She didn't think or speak to anyone in particular. In fact, in terms of telepathy, she was completely and utterly silent whilst her own mind thought over matters. The Essences have changed so much since...since when it was. They think themselves of humans, not beings. Gave themselves names - Healing could feel these new human names manifesting in her head. She had one too. She ignored it. "I am Healing." came her melodic voice, calm and clear with the simple undertones of authority. What it said was "I am Healing, so you cannot call me anything else. Even if the name Hylia springs to mind." but in its own, simple way.

For the first time, Healing tried to get a grips of the situation. Bravery was mobile, she could move. Healing will soon join her once she's settled in. Innocence and Wisdom were being surprisingly unhelpful; there was talk of a child who was sad, most likely the victim of the Corruption this time. Healing didn't care for the child, she simply wanted to be able to destroy whatever corruption was in this house and return back to her state of un-knowing. Of being a thing in the cosmos instead of being an...an actual object. It was uncomfortable.

<Raina>:
You didn't manage to explore the room very much, as the child soon stop crying. Your instinct was to freeze, and pretend to be... well... a stuffed animal. The child uncurled himself and threw his legs over the bed with his head looking down, and he spotted you. He sort of tilted his head, as if he knew he left you in the other room. He didn't say anything beyond that, and may just be trying to remember whether he had or not. He stood up and walked over to you, picking you up and carrying you over to the living room with the pile you had came from.

<Everyone>:
The child looked over at his Sitter's room door, and thought to himself for a minute or so. He picked up a bunch of the the other stuffed animals, including your friends, and carried them into his room. He stuffed you and the other's in the closet, and went back for more. He returned several times until he put everyone in the closet. He looked at everyone for awhile, then smiled lightly. The smile soon faded as he started to close the closet and the only thing left to hear was his foot steps walking around the room and picking up toys, and putting them away under the bed.

Slowly... Rainia was no longer the only one capable of moving. Alaric was able to move his limbs soon after. Riku was next. Soon after Mila, Aaron, Kai, and Healing were all able to move. No one could speak still, but their thoughts still transferred to one another upon command. No one had special powers, and everyone was pretty short. But now that everyone else could move around, they could help each other to get around the house more easily. All the other rooms were closed... but that doesn't mean they were all locked. Exiting the closet now wouldn't be wise, however, as the child's still out there. Everyone might have to wait until later....

"What do we do now with the child out there? I don't like the idea of revealing ourselves to him... but if we have to at some point, I think we'd better find some way to communicate with him. We can't even speak, so we might just end up scarring him. Again, I'm against revealing ourselves anyway." I thought to everyone. I had sensed more of us were around, and had gotten through. I couldn't tell who, exactly, but it only left me with a few choices as whoever has arrived isn't talking very much.

((Hello everyone. Apparently no one appears to be interested in the RP anymore, as it probably required too much input from myself. I'm sorry I wasn't active enough to get this RP going, but I'm afraid I will have to shut it down officially now. It will return if you come to me and ask for it to come back up, but please only do so if you think I'm posting enough to keep you interested, and not run away. Thank you.))
