So...

@Kentou Argama Welcome to the site! How did roleplaying work on the site you came from?

"Roselia?" It looked at Lorenzo curiously. "But is a name that is taken from a flower, is it not?" It mused, looking at Lorenzo still. "And yet, you are male. Roses are female." It tipped its head to the side, getting even more curious. "And you are pretty like girl. and hair is gold like sun. Do you follow the normal stereotype of being slow like others of your hair color?"

Savayna had been laughing up until the comment made about how those with golden hair were dumb. "Wait, you trying to say I'm dumb?"

"No," the Elemental said. It gestured to Lorenzo. "I am calling this one dumb. I mean, Lorenzo. Dumb is a good thing, is it not?"

And so Savayna was back to her laughing, though she looked at Grant who seemed to have a look of urgency. She sighed, approaching the Elemental and Lorenzo. "Hurry it up, ladies."

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

“As always, Larry, you’re no help at all.”

Savayna let out a frustrated sigh. What was she to do with this sentient elemental? It obviously was strong. The very air around it was bent to it will and the magickal energy that surrounded converted all moisture into lightning magick. Added to that, it looked at Savayna like that of a servant to their master. So, yeah there was that. The only thing that the blonde could think to do was let it be and let the adventuring trio go on their way, but somehow that didn’t seem like it was going to happen mostly because this thing looked like a lost puppy that would follow anymore.

After thinking about it, Savayna approached it...no, it must be more than an it. “Tell me, does this one like to be called he or she?”

“This one does not know.”

She scratched her head. “Okay, then what does this one in front of me wish to identify as?”

“This one gets a choice?” The Sentient Elemental asked.

Savayna nodded.

The Elemental seemed to consider the choice carefully. The lightning around it radiated in several colors. It looked at both Savayna and the other blonde of the trio, Lorenzo. Both seemed to be drawn to it; though it would approach Lorenzo, sizing him up. Its hand rested on Lorenzo’s shoulder and the blonde would feel a sudden, non-threatening jolt of lightning surge through him. “My choice is this one. I shall identify as…” The Elemental sized up Lorenzo again. “What is it that they call you? Cis male?”

There had been very little time for Jaakuna to think about what he could’ve done or contemplate what he was going to do after the fact. Everything that had transpired from Kiku’s brilliant aim to Shizuka’s plan - all of it was happening too quickly for anyone to really ponder the bed they made. The only thing that seemed logical was prepare for the worst of it. That’s what Jaakuna was hoping for, anyway.

There was a time where he was trying to get Shizuka to safety as he was instructed by Kiku to do. There might’ve been a time that Kurin did something involving a golem of some kind, but again Jaakuna was blanking out on the details of that. The one thing he was absolutely certain of was a wave of lava came for him and despite how utterly fatigued his body was, he had used the gathered raiton chakra in his palm and shot it up, counteracting the lava that was above him (explained why it was so hot) and evaded a certain death at the hands of the golem’s last-ditch efforts. However, this had not been without a consequence. Like a double-edged sword, he was hit with a recoil - only, in this case, it wasn’t just some ordinary recoil. Both of Jaakuna’s arms, from wrist to elbow, was hit with blobs of lava, and it tore straight through his skin tissue and went down to his muscle and nerves. Despite the initial pain of feeling his flesh and nerve charred beyond repair, he was alive.

But at what cost?

And to make matters worse, the golem wasn’t done. Sure the ground was now hardened from the lava, but as it seemed it was readying itself for a final assault, Jaakuna didn’t know what he would do. His arms were in excruciating pain. They were bleeding and for the moment, Jaakuna couldn’t form any hand signs. Even when he tried to move his fingers, he felt a large, painful sensation surge through his arms from hands to shoulder. So that would make the coming explosion of static and fire, and debris included even worse. It produced a shockwave that, no matter how strong the kick he did of fire to try and protect himself was, the force of the shockwave sent him flying back, and like a ragdoll, he flailed in the air for a few seconds before landing face-first against it, prompting a vocal screech of anguish. He could’ve sworn he heard a few rib bones crack from the impact.

A few, long, painful moments passed and Jaakuna found his way to his feet. Despite being bloodied and burned, he came to the sight of the remaining head of the golem. “Shit, what, ow, does it take, ow, to kill this thing, ow.” Each word he spoke only brought greater pain to Jaakuna’s body. Even standing proved difficult for him.

Along with his team, he looked ahead and up at the head as it slowly began to crack bit by bit only to reveal what they were longing for all this time: the Earth Scroll. After such a hard-fought journey and strenuous battle against this golem, there it was, ready for the taking; though something interesting happened. Before they would even leave, Jaakuna felt something in him. It was unclear as to what it was exactly, but it felt...weird.

Anyway, not long after that, they would be transported into the forest of death and Shizuka would tell the medical shinobi who were waiting for them to go treat the others while he kept Kiku company. He usually would’ve asked what was up, but he was in too much pain, so he figured he’d get it checked out. He briefly glanced over to Kurin, giving the Senju a smile. “That was some top-notch woodworking out there, man,” Jaakuna, had his arms been in full working condition, would’ve tapped Kurin’s shoulder. Instead, he gave him the nodding equivalent. “It made me decide that you’re not a total pompous asswipe as I initially thought you were.” He said with a chuckle, putting his head down. “Put em’ there!” Jaakuna used his eyes to gesture Kurin to bump heads with him as the use of his hands was temporarily unavailable.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Savayna wouldn't say that she enjoyed fighting elementals or anything, but as she kept swinging her magick-laced sword at the elementals that decided to give her its undivided attention, there was a shriek of laughter that came from her. On some level, the lightning bolts that had been shot repeatedly at her and she responded by parrying them one after the other brought life to Savayna's movements. Through whatever stroke of destiny that was in the monsoon-plagued plains, both seemed to be aware of it. Even though Elementals were mindless, often neutral creatures, the one that had taken a liking to Savayna.

As a wave of ice magicks made its way to the elemental, a wall of lightning appeared before it, canceling out Savayna's attack. She wouldn't let up, though. continuously, the blonde swung her sword that produced thin sickles of magick at the elemental and every single one was parried by a projected lightning veil that was just enough and quickly-cast to block each and every one of her attacks, prompting the blonde to go even stronger and with more force added.

Savayna launched herself five paces into the air, hovering over the elemental, and extended her free hand. A glyph appeared in front of her and as she started to recite an incantation, something bizarre was happening below her. If she didn't know any better, the elemental was speaking as well; though, that couldn't be right. Elementals were mindless creatures that had no soul. they were created from the mist and were a product of magickal power in conjunction with the environment. And yet, Savayna's ears didn't deceive her. The elemental, as well as the other two that remained, all spoke in echoed, layered voices. Their bodies crackled like the very lightning they were formed from, and their respective formless shapes came together.

And in that moment, Savayna projected herself away from the combined form, landing near Grant as she looked on as the elementals shined brilliantly with blue and purple lightning. As the merger became more evident of what they would look like, Savayna raised an eyebrow towards it and hen looked to Grant and Lorenzo. "What on Ivalice is going on?" She asked them. Truly, this was an enigma of all enigmas.

"Humes of Ivalice." The Lightning Elemental spoke, its voice loud and echoed. It looked at the trio, it's new form was a humanoid shape. It had lightning for legs and arms with half of its body having solidified armor of blue, purple, and gold. The sound of crackling lightning ever present and continuous. "You who have created me with powerful magicks--I salute you."

"Do what now?"

"Existence was granted to this one through your strength."

Savayna had to take a long moment to tell if this thing was serious or just yanking her chain. Of course, after close examination, though made purely of lightning, this Elemental was...smiling? No, that's not right. "Are..you actually smiling?" Savayna had to ask.

"It's as you Humes say.." The Elemental seemed to be thinking, "I've got the will to live - to exist."

Right. She gave the Elemental a smile. "One moment please." She looked to the Rose Bros, giving them a rather conflicted look. "Well, this was certainly unexpected." She admitted, briefly looking back to the Elemental who would wave to Savayna. She waved back then returned to Grant and Lorenzo's gaze. "What do you do? Doesn't seem it wants to fight us." She said, scratching her head. why did the difficult and weird things always happen to her?

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

There was a moment or two that Savayna had devoted to just laughing as she saw Lorenzo wail and flail away with the current, not at all doing anything to try and help the man. It was his fault for ticking of Savayna. Maybe that'd show him not to cross Savayna Glacie. Of course, Grant had to save his brother as he always had. He did so by summoning Zeromus and having the esper be used as some sort of floatation device as he pulled the blonde Rozarrian from almost drowning and brought him to safety, much to Savayna's disappointment, of course. If she had her way, he would meet them near the entrance to Ozmone so Grant and Savayna could have a bit of peace from Lorenzo's constant yapping.

But, of course, that wasn't going to happen. Instead, through Zeromus' powerful, surprisingly elegant voice, Grant's sensible opinion about making haste would be heard. What's even worse, Savayna agreed, albeit with the leftover scowl she had given Lorenzo before she shoved him off the tree bridge. "Fine," Savayna simply stated.

As they would walk, the trio traversed through Giza's swampy grass. They fought whatever monsters came their way. Some didn't even require them to draw their weapons. It was only a matter of punching and kicking them in the right place; though some did provide an even greater danger - such as the Storm Elemental. They would've avoided it, but there seemed to be more than just one of them. "Seems like there's no other choice," She looked at the Storm Elementals in front of them. They multiplied five times over, blocking the entrance to Ozmone. If they wanted to get there, they had to fight their way through the elementals first.

Savayna drew her sword as mist surrounded her body. In an instant, she focused it at her feet and she began to slide forward as ice magick continuously covered the ground to help speed up her movements. "It's fight or die, boys," she said, striking forward at one of the elementals. "And I'm far too young to die to these things!" Down came a swing of her Ice Queen, slicing one of them in half, the magickal energy from that Elemental causing a lightning recoil; though Savayna's mist blocked it in the nick of time.

As Lorenzo had started talking, her mind was stuck on his use of us normal people. If there was one thing she didn't like, it was being talked down to, especially by someone who was everything but normal. This was coming from the guy who overreacted every time the topic of Nadeline growing up and becoming a woman; not to mention how he always exaggerated his emotions, often crying out of whatever bullshit emotion he might be feeling at the time. It was hilarious he called himself normal when he's just as absurd as calling Dominic normal. Those two are just two zany peas from the same pod.

Eventually, Savayna's smile would fade into a subtle scowl. In one long moment, as they would near an overpass that had a section of between two patches of swampy grass being connected by a thick tree branch, they would start to cross it. Just as Lorenzo had got on, Savayna would simply use her mist to "gently" push Lorenzo off the tree and send him wherever the current would take him. "How's that for normal?!" She yelled out to him, watching him flail as he was carried away by the current.
