Survataen Dragneel

Bedridden, but not completely out, Survataen scoffed at the thought of needing any sort of proper healing. "I'll deal with this the same way my kind deal with any ailment. I'll just burn it off." She went to get up, shaking as her arms tried to push herself from the bed, only to find her legs were shaking just as much. It was disgraceful to be in such a sorry state. Someone, something like her shouldn't be able to be poisoned... but nobody ever said she was smart. Perhaps above average in intelligence, but she had little understanding of things like this. She saw a chance for the strength she needed at the time, and she took it. Things like consequences... few Dragneels could look far enough ahead to see them coming.

Even when time seemed to shift, she would notice and yet completely misinterpret what had happened, feeling as if someone had used their magic specifically to put her back in bed. And so her legs would swing out again, and once more she would attempt to get up.

This time though, it was a massive white paw, the size of her entire torso, that pressed on her shoulder and pushed her back down into bed. It was the master of the house so to speak... the one who ran things around this side of town, even if he still answered to others, and wasn't fully in charge.

Ferris Kane

"You're going to stay right there in bed." Ferris demanded as he pushed the Dragon Slayer back into place. "Even if you were capable of just burning off this kind of poisoning, the amount of energy it would take could kill you in your current state. What's more, you'd probably burn a crater in the town, and I'm not sending you out into the wilderness to start a forest fire that may or may not get you killed, even if you do make it that far." Cracking his knuckles as he turned to head out, he finished by saying "So, Dragnovian or not, you're going to have to just sleep this sickness off like the rest of us." And with that, he was out the door.

Stepping into the main room and moving behind the bar, he grabbed a towel and wiped down a glass before putting it on a rack and tossing the towel over his shoulder. Looking at the newcomers, one to the next, eyeing them over for a few moments, before finally asking "Weren't there supposed to be more of you? Like twice as many at least? Didn't get the full details of what you all are doing out here, but pretty sure it was mentioned some of the S Class were coming along with you. If you're here... I'm guessing your mission isn't exactly going to plan?"

A shrug of his shoulders before they could even respond, he added "Whatever the case, drinks are on the house for Fenix Tear members, same as Fairy Tail. Welcome to the Fenix Tear Fiora headquarters."

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Talked the idea over with Kindred, about the necklaces in my post. Figured it could be a good way for Zac to know if anyone needs his help, so kinda just shoehorned in the idea that he had already been given one earlier. The necklaces specifics are:

Focusing on a crystal and thinking about someone gives you a glimpse of them, where they are, what they are doing, and how they are feeling, so long as they are wearing the necklace. It doesn't let them communicate, or clearly see what is happening. For anyone who has seen Harry Potter, think of it like the mirror shard he had near the end.

They can use it to contact each other 'somewhat'. In that, if any of them are in desperate need of help, it can relay that feeling to others. AKA, distress can trigger Zac's crystal to let him know someone is in trouble. That way he doesn't have to sit there checking in on each and every person every few minutes.

Otherwise the Crystal traits are:

Heartless hate the things. They're pure crystalized light.

Constantly playing a song, faint enough not to be heard when worn normally but heard clearly when focused on. It's the sound of Morgan's heart. Anyone familiar with hearts would know, no, it's not the normal 'sound' of a heart.

The light it gives off can create calmness and basically destress a person. Only when held in their hand and focused on though. So it's not going to change how anyone acts or anything.

It also acts as a constant heal over time, but just barely. More like speed up recovery, rather than something that could directly help in battle. That being said...

Morgan can channel healing through it if she feels someone needs it. It's just that doing so requires ridiculously more power.

These effects are a good bit stronger on Lucian. Something something Prince of Heart.

Ultimately: Do whatever you want with them. Ignore them, use them as tools against the Heartless. If you think you can do something fun or neat with them, go for it.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Morgan was the last one out of the room, quite a bit later than the others. It was no wonder Max had to come knocking. But when the door finally opened, she walked out in her new outfit that was more befitting her status as a mage than a Princess. With her new staff in hand, and a book Merlin had given her floating in the air behind her, it seemed either she was regaining some of her passive control over magic... or maybe that book just floated on its own. It wasn't out of the question considering who gave it to her. It was a wonder it didn't talk too.

In her other hand was chained necklaces with crystals that seemed to radiate a warm light. It wasn't just a warm glow like the sun, but the light from each crystal seemed to warm the soul just being near them. And around her own neck, was a much larger one than the rest.

"Sorry Max, I was trying to finish these before everyone left. Listening to them last night, they are all so scared of being separated. So I wanted to find something that could help. The book Merlin gave me had a spell in it but, I needed to figure out this whole magic thing before I could cast something so specific." Holding them up, the gems each shined with a light that was more than just a glowing trinket. The light felt radiant, pure, divine even. It was the light of a soul, not just some magic trick. Max likely didn't know much about magic, let alone the specifics of such a spell, but he didn't need to to know that these gems were made from Morgan's own light, from within her.

By time they went to eat, everyone was already gone. But she couldn't just, not eat. Still, she rushed herself a bit. She didn't imagine anyone was going to wait around for her.

It wasn't too much time later that everyone was gathering at the landing pads where they would separate into their different groups to head to different worlds. When everybody was there, she spoke up for the first time since the fight the day before.

"I know everybody is nervous about being separated. I know you all haven't been apart like this before, and you don't know when you will see each other again. So I... made something for everyone." Holding up the necklaces so everyone could see, one for each of the islanders. "I still don't fully understand my magic, or the things I do with it. But, these should let everybody stay connected. You can't talk through them, and it's not perfect. But if you look into the crystals, and you focus on each other, then you will be able to sense each other, and get a glimpse of whoever you are thinking about. It will temporarily connect your hearts, no matter how far apart you are. You can feel each other, so you know that whoever you think about is alright. It only works with others who wear them, so unfortunately it can't really help anyone find Alias. But, so long as you hold onto these, it means you don't ever have to truly be apart."

Were any of them to hold the crystals up to their ears, they could even hear them making a faint song. Fortunately they could only hear it if they really focused on it... otherwise such a song might get a little bit annoying after a while. Even if it had an, unnatural calming effect to it.

She had one for each islander, and one larger one around her neck. She had earlier that morning had someone give one to Zac. It was the first one she made. Given that he intended on trying to support them when needed, she figured it might be useful if he had a way to know if any of them were in distress.

Putting a hand on the lager crystal on her chest, she said "So long as this crystal stays intact with me, then all of the others will be connected to each other through it."
What she didn't tell them, and what Daisy likely knew, was that this sort of magic had created the crystals from her own heart's light. And the reason she had her own larger crystal, was that she was constantly feeding that light, and therefor a portion of her magic, into the crystals. The song that could be heard was quite literally the sound of her heart. It would limit her somewhat in her magic abilities, but she decided it was worth it to help everyone stay connected.

"The crystals should also act as a minor healing trinket, but, don't rely on it. They can help you get your energy back after a fight, but it's not going to keep you standing in a fight." That was, unless she made it so. She didn't really want to tell any of them that this was actively costing her a portion of her magical reserves, or that she could send her power through the crystals to heal them if need be. Doing so would allow her to heal anyone who needed her help, even if she was worlds away. But this method would take much more of her mana than if she were there in person. A singular, simple cure sent through the gems would cost her the same amount of energy as if she cast ten of them on someone standing right in front of her. Nobody needed to know that though. Except Daisy, who she hoped would keep quiet about it, and understand that she had decided the risks involved were necessary, and worth it. Besides... supposedly she was some great Mage with a massive reservoir of magical potential. All she had to do was unlock that potential, and the impact these necklaces had on her abilities would be a drop in the bucket... probably.

With the explanation out of the way, at least the need to know parts, she gave every islander one of the necklaces... and tried not to let it show if it effected her when they each connected to each other.

Hiroverse: Fenix Tear Zero

Akane

All in all, the guild never changed. It wasn't exactly that Akane had gotten used to the... 'energy' of the guild. But moreso that she had just accepted that this was the way things were, and adapted to it over time. The difference between that and getting used to it, was that in this case she distanced herself from the chaos a bit.

She didn't care for the bickering of the other S Class. Ifrit didn't trust her... and she really couldn't care less. She didn't need his trust, she didn't need anyone's trust. Some guilds were like family, but Fenix Tear was a bit different. She had been here since the start, and seen countless faces come and go. She had seen the faces of children whose laughter once filled the halls of the guild, grow until they couldn't even walk on their own anymore, before they disappeared forever. And these days, as far as guild members went, there weren't many memories to hold onto.

Ifrit was reliable, but that was about where her opinion of him ended. He had a tendency to take issue with others, especially those who held the rank of S Class. She had no issues with him, other than that to her his view of S Class not getting along was more of a self fulfilling prophecy, which in her eyes, more often boiled down to it not necessarily being S Class Don't Get Along... But rather, Ifrit Doesn't Get Along with other S Class. She had hoped he would warm up to others. But that had yet to happen.

Mizore on the other hand deserved no trust. The sort who whispered in everyone's ear, always pulling people this way and that way, trying to play them like the pieces of a board game. Her deception was known to Ur, and so it was known to Akane. To be honest, it was somewhat obvious. Her strategy was not to hide her actions... but rather, to wear so many masks of deception that you don't know where the real Mizore would finally end up after you removed them all. And yet, Akane still did not particularly care. The scheming of a fox who has no guile is no scheming fox at all. It's just a child playing a game they don't know the rules to. And Mizore was certainly no fox.

So perhaps it was right, that S Class didn't get along. But when there were so few, and their existence within the guild boiled down to a loyal but overly cautious 'God', a deceiver wearing a hundred different masks, and a Fox so disconnected from the others that she didn't even ultimately care about what either of them thought of her, what they were up to, or about 'trusting' them or not... certainly there was little room for 'getting along'. The only common ground they shared was they were in the same guild, and were S Class.

And so when Mizore approached her, offering to take her off on some wild adventure, Akane didn't particularly respond much to it. Even had she wanted to go, she was already set to accompany Ur to the trial of this creature. This was truly a tragedy, as choosing between going on an adventure to who knows where, and going to court, she would have certainly chosen her own third option of seeking out the place in the guild at that very moment where the most sunlight shined through the windows, at which place she would take a nap. And rest assured, it would have been a long nap, a good nap.

After all, she was so very, very tired. It wasn't as if the others could understand why. It wasn't for them to understand.

But the third option she so happily dreamed of was just that, a dream, as before she could even gather her wits, wherever she left them, they were at the Imperial Palace. A place that sickened her. Literally, she was sick to her stomach just looking at the place. She was, by her very nature, allergic to Imperial Palaces. It was a burden she could only live with, never a sickness to be cured. What did that mean? Honestly even she didn't know, it was something she made up one day and had just sort of stuck with it as an excuse as to why she could never go to this place.

And yet here she was.

Her failings were adding up today, and it was most certainly not her fault. She was being sabotaged. Was this a test? It was a particularly cruel one if so... and after dragging her here, against her will, truly an attack on her being, Ur wanted HER wisdom? Wisdom was difficult as a Fox. And so, in a flash of light, Akane was no more a Fox, but a girl half Ur's size, with a single white tail, white hair, and white Fox ears, all of which had purple markings here and there.

"A Fox who runs away, is a very clever Fox. A Fox who stands and fights... knows something you do not." Her wisdom always came in this way. But for simple human minds, she had to reword it in ways they could understand. "If they intend on pursuing the execution through the legal system, and yet the Firelord considers it of such substantial importance to attend personally... then we must consider what it is that she knows, that we do not. If she wants him dead so badly, she could simply order the execution by Imperial Mandate, and skip the legal formalities. We would not be able to fight it, there would be no case to be made, it would simply be an execution. Yet instead, they choose to make it public and formal." She then went back to her original point, as she said "A Fox who runs away, is a very clever Fox... for they know they cannot survive any other way. But a Fox who stands and fights, would only do so if they had some assurance of their own victory, that you do not yet know." There was a pause, and a deep breath, as she said "The point is, either the Firelord is assured of her victory in this case, or, having a trial for this whole situation serves a different purpose altogether."

And with that, she was back into her fox form, as it would soon be time to begin this whole... thing.

But Akane would not keep this form for long, as soon after entering the room with Aki, she would take on her larger form, becoming roughly the size of a large wolf. This would be the form she would face the Firelord in. Even if it was merely existing in some silly game of laws.

Society was dumb.

Most have trouble believing her maturity at face value. In part, this is due to the fact she is half the height of your typical human making her look very young... despite there being claims she's actually one of the oldest members of the guild. Not one to take things too seriously, yet not one to joke around all that much either. She simply doesn't seemed phased by the going ons of the world, remaining blank faced at even the worst imaginable news, so long as it has nothing to do with her personally. She enjoys naps, and very much acts more like a fox than a normal person. Most people also find it hard to believe that she is considered an S Class, considering she has to date made no real displays of any actual power, and only ever takes on the simplest of jobs. You're far more likely to find her helping save an old lady's cat from a tree than you are to hear about her hunting monsters or chasing thieves. Though, she might also get into a fight with the cat. However, some who spend too much time near her have claimed a build up of static until their hair is standing on end. And a sure way to get a reaction out of her is to touch her sword... though those reactions tend to not be pleasant.

Akane's story is a mystery. And it's not because anything is hidden, but rather, hardly anyone alive today knows her story. She has been around for a long, long time. Longer than most humans tend to live. And in the lifespan of most people, not a whole lot has happened. She has kept to herself, a quiet life, seemingly by choice as she avoids conflict to the best of her ability. But as far as Fenix Tear is concerned, Akane has simply always... been.

Interesting details for anyone who would know what it means:

Akane has only one tail. But the guild claims she has always been around. But Kitsune tails typically mark their age by the hundreds of years, so having only one tail would man she was only a hundred years old, which simply doesn't add up.

Akane's fur color, namely her tail, ears, and hair, is white. This marks her as Kitsune nobility, the highest class of Kitsune there is. Except that her fur also has purple markings in it, both in the forms of runes and highlights, which very few would understand to be the mark of a Divine-Touched Kitsune... and even those who know that would likely say 'Whatever that means'.

Akane has a very strong understanding of Yokai traditions, especially those that are incredibly ancient.

She is also a master of the blade, wielding a Katana, though never using the one always adorning her back.

Lightning Caster - She has the general power to create and control electricity, though it comes in a strange purple hued black. Whether it's pointing her finger and shooting a bolt of lightning, or channeling her power through a weapon, she can do just about anything you could imagine with lightning. Though few have seen it, this ability goes much deeper than being a living tazer, as she can transform herself into electricity, instantly teleporting anywhere she can see.

Lightning Soul Holder - Though nobody truly knows the reasoning, the sword she carries with her everywhere stores a great amount of magical lightning energy. Though she is capable of drawing on the energy from the blade, she very rarely, if ever, does so. This seems to be a direct decision rather than simply because she doesn't need to.

Thunder of the Ancients - Not only does she have a deep understanding of the Ancient teachings of a thousand year old deity known as the Raijin Shogun, a Thunder Goddess who acted as Empress in ancient times... but she is capable of wielding that Ancient power as well. Very few are capable of using this power, though it is not entirely unheard of. The actual capabilities of this magic though that she is capable of are unknown, as she has never actually used them in front of anyone.

<Snipped quote by IAmTheIsland>

I like this idea. To take it a step further, maybe the stronger summons have certain "rules," for lack of a better term? I mentioned it before, but I plan on giving Zac Titan at some point in the future. Given Titan's size and the scale of his attacks, it would make sense for Zac to be able to combine with him in order to limit collateral damage. That way, a single step won't end up flattening things he doesn't want flattened lol

@Daxam

PoV, someone needs Zac's help:

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Yet another reminder that Donald Duck is one of only two characters in FF history to ever cast Zetaflare and the other person did it with the help of a Chaos God and died doing it, while Donald just kinda needed a nap after.



So if he can do it...

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I envisioned summons being more summony, more something that appears to help you fight than a power you use yourself. More similar to summons as they are in KH already.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I'm the one who posed the question, I was just curious if we had decided on doing:

2 Worlds > Olympus > 2 Worlds > Camelot > Hollow Bastion

With Camelot and Hollow Bastion being effectively the endgame of KH1... but was wondering how many worlds people were wanting to do before Olympus, and between Olympus and the endgame.
