To the Stars, From Death.

The first soul to awaken and join Zephyr appeared to be a male in his mid thirties. He had dark hair but soft eyes. He seemed more coherent than he thought but she honestly had no answers for him and simply waited as the rest began to stir and breathe life back into their own functioning lungs. “Somehow I feel this isn’t quite Heaven.” She said and then noticed another person had regained consciousness. Next to awaken was a young adult female though she remained laying where she was. The third to stir was a blond male with striking blue eyes He walked over and began to ask questions as if any of them had any clue where there were or even why for that matter. Zephyr gave him a look, not sure if she appreciated his tone but she disregarded it as just someone who was confused and afraid, not necessarily hostile or really rude.

Then an older man awoke but was slower to speak, he professed similar concern and confusion but no one yet knew anything except that they weren’t dead, nor on Earth. A girl joined the cluster of people and said something achingly sweet and insisted that they couldn’t stay where they were with made the psychologist tilt her head. “Why not? It is a nice place, for now seemingly harmless.” Of course Zephyr wanted to know why and where they as well. But asking the question over and over wasn’t getting them anywhere. A male was next to get to his feet but unlike most, he remained quiet and observant, which was welcomed at the moment.

Another male appeared near them but also remained quiet and cautious. It was becoming clear that they needed to settle down and get acquainted with one another and perhaps they may share some commonality which may give them a clue as to what had happened. That was the million dollar question hanging in the air, as well as why and how. Lastly another female joined them and Zephyr felt like she could try and bring everyone together. “I think all of us are uneasy about our new found location.” She began to speak. “My name is Zephyr and the last thing I can recall is…” She swallow knowing that once she vocally admitted what happened, it would be real and not just something swimming around in her mind.

“I was trampled to death and now I am here with all of you.” She concluded, hoping her briefness would catch on. For now, she thought it would be best to be prompt She turned back around to look at the view they had. Though it was calming, it was also somehow filling her with something more than tranquility. The woman with the dreadlocks and glasses felt a small ignition of interest and even delight well up inside her very center and she wondered if this was adventure, if this was meant for them. More questions began to collect and she spun back around to give the others her attention, saving some ideas to express later on when everyone had settled down.

“Let’s just go around and introduce ourselves and try to relax.” But to her, she was already floating in an ocean of comfort and energy, both differing emotions were actuallyt not fighting in the tide but were in fact working with one another. The sensations were tickling her senses and she already knew this place was beyond Earth and anything anyone had ever known. Of course she was beginning to consider everything and everyone she had left behind. But she had to remind herself that it hadn’t been her choice to leave her life behind, that it had been an accident and human emotions that had been her downfall.

A fall perhaps...but she felt like she was soaring at the moment.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

I think the book first and then movie works well. I did see THG before I dove into the books though. But I think either way, with Gone Girl, you should enjoy it. It looked plenty dramatic and thrilling.

I'm sure you'll be able to catch it then, I hope you do though. Waiting for releases isn't as bad as they used to be but still, you did just read the book so I can see how you wanna see it now. :3

(Genkai) Princess Werewolf (Purplemouse)

It was becoming increasingly apparent to the young archer that the new counterpart was guarded more so mentally than physically. Devon knew not to be too surprised by the other’s reservations but he would rather him be up front about them rather than try to convince him otherwise. Devon held his tongue, aware that new alliances, temporary or permanent, needed to have an introductory period where each person involved could evaluate those around them. Devon wasn’t as critical as he knew he should be but he thought with time being a thing going against them,

He remained silent until Telaris was finishing speaking though Devon personally saw little point since his words and attempt to appear tired and agreeable felt on someone who was not daft or ignorant. Being a watcher, someone who lurked and soaked up the most minute of details, Devon knew Telaris was wary of him but refused to admit it, for whatever reason. “Certainly.” He said, keeping his agreement brief since it appeared as though it would make little to no difference whether his response was lengthy or not. Wordlessly, Devon took the lead, hoping his most preferred hiding spot hadn’t been taken already.

“Oh, I have no earned such a title, please address me as Devon or Relven, as simplicity tends to be the easiest when in the thick of things.” He flashed him a smile before pressing onward. The stillness of the evening was disrupted by their trampling but even so, the beauty remained present and wholesome. After three minutes of walking, he stopped and peeled back a thick layer of shrubs to reveal a small grotto area which was lined with lush soft moss and grass and had a small pool of water which was fed by a patient slow stream up above. “I used to stop here during tiring treks, it always proved relaxing and well hidden.” He explained as he waited for the other to go and make himself comfortable in the nest.

A sweet smile never fell from her lips as she continued to romp around the thick wooded area. She had on a long dark blue robe which pooled around her ankles and the hood bunched up behind her neck as the coolness of the night was far more welcomed than the sweat which would surely trickle down her neck if she continued to wear said hood throughout the evening. Her bright golden eyes looked around, feeling an energetic wind blow by. Being a witch and a pretty well practiced one at that, Mela Accorn the Second, was very confident about her predicament. She was in her late twenties at the least but her short size often led foes to determine otherwise.

Using the wind, she raised a hand, her long baggy sleeve, falling to her forearm and shoulder, she flicked her fingers and was able to let the stray breeze lift her up into the tall trees. Mela was a sneaky sort but not out of malice or ill-intent, no, it was just to have fun. There were clearly many people who had their own goals in mind that could be met thanks to the princess’ new found peril. The money and recognition would boast her education and prove her worth to all those who dared question her validity as a witch.

Now settled in the trees, she quickly scampered from branch to branch like a squirrel or rat. Mela’s long braided light brown hair almost acted as a cat’s tail which aided to her balance and agility. But in her mind, she knew magic was on her side and that allowed her spy on those who may be an asset to her, and who of course would entertain her. If the quest was really difficult as one thought, Mela was determined to fulfill it with a smile and not a disgruntled frown or smirk. She looked down and saw someone fashion a torch and she smiled wide and decided to show herself after tailing her. “Greetings!” She exclaimed and flew down, her legs hooking on the sturdy cranch as she hung upside down, her cloak flopping over her face and hanging in the wind. “You’re sure in a serious mood.” Mela laughed and jumped down and straightened herself out, her age and mindset were clearly on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Ha, movie hopping is fun but tricky these days. Hopefully you can catch Gone Girl, I have a feeling it might be on it's way out in the next week or so. I may have time in the morning to pop on my I have to get some blood work done, take a shower and fix up the tree a bit. But with any luck, I should be able to pop on before I leave, if not, I'll be back in the evening, probably...9-10 your time. ^^;

But hey, we do have a lot thought out already so our movie going shouldn't be too bad~

Beyond a Fire's Embers

If you wanna skip to training ending and everyone making their way up for the night (shower, dinner, after dinner talks, reading etc) that would be fine. I mean, if you wanted to end with them in the elevator or somewhere around that, that's be good. We have a lot to go through for tonight's activities. And as a heads up I will be busy for a good portion of tomorrow since I'm finally going out with my friend to see those movies and of course it's raining even more with thunder and lightning but whatever. ^^;

Bump.

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Okie dokie.

And we can a scene together with everyone before training kicks back up. I did think we'd soon skip to the evening though since we just thought the morning would been enough to highlight progress unless you had an idea?

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Okay, if you wanna pick my brain some more, be gentle!

And good! I just finished making/eating dinner so same here. In other news I'm 1/3 done with that post...so you know...you have a few more hours to work on yours at the rate I'm going. ^^;

Digital or Real?

I'm fine where I am...if it becomes a deal breaker, just let me know.
