A Hero Tale {Complete}

A plume of shadows appeared above Ada, dropping Shadra's form to her side after Jenso left the room. She looked down at her fallen comrade and shook the woman until her eyes flickered open. "Wha..?" Ada muttered. Shadra slapped her fully away, prompting the woman to sit up and push shadra away violently. The shorter girl scampered away like an animal, and face Ada again.

"You're alive," Shadra said softly. Ada grit her teeth and spun towards the exit of the room, seeing Jenso's shape beyond the confines of the walls with her mystic eyes.

"That cursed little fuck," Ada hissed. She struggled to her feet, but felt her insides twisting painfully, forcing her back to the ground.

"Nexus will heal you. Do not move," Shadra urged, rushing over and grabbing Ada's arms. Ada cursed under her breath, but didn't struggled. "I have trapped the Gaian boy and his animal in the tower. They are at your disposal, as you requested." Ada grunted in agreement, and the two faded into the shadows, disappearing from sight.

"Good"

Ada didn't move at first. Her body was strewn out, with her long purple hair extended over her face, and her arms stretched to cover both of her eye. They didn't seem to be open, and she didn't seem to be moving much, but her chest still pulsated slowly. She was breathing, if only barely. It seemed there was no way for her to carry out her magic now. The doors where Jenso entered the room, however, opened, and the giant globe that revealed the meteors was showing no signs of magic. In fact, the meteors seemed to vanish in four puffs of crumbling dust moments afterwards.

The clone passed him up and its technique fizzled out. The clone's body suddenly melted away, and Ada's pool rose to stop Jenso's technique. She smiled, but as Jenso's flaming fist neared her ooze, it dissipated instantly, and he tore through the wall of purple magic. Ada's eyes widened as Jenso's blow struck her dead on. The woman flew backwards, and he puddle disappeared as she tumbled across the floor with a burning hole in her dress, just above her waist.

Ada's eyes widened and he posture lost its strength. Her mouth hung open behind a thin layer of black fabric, but closed tightly. Ada's teeth clacked and her eyes narrowed. In a split second, she'd lost every last shred of interest she'd had in this silly game. Jenso's clone rushed him head on as he neared Ada, her puddle still vanishing. The clone dashed at him and reeled its arm back. Blue flames surrounded it as it dashed forward. They took the shape of a dragon, and with a mighty swing, the clone attempted to punch Jenso's life out of him.

The flames once again turned orange and covered Jenso's hands in even deeper burned before disappearing, but as his punched forward, the clone with flying and toppling against the ground like a ragdoll, ending up several feet away from him, limp. Ada took a step forward and clenched her fist. The puddle around her bubbled heavily and changed from a thick purple ooze, to a thinner consistency. "You won't get far like that. That clone cannot be killed! You're fighting a pointless battle, I'm not even exerting myself!" Ada shouted, sounding slightly out of character despite her recent playful attitude. She took another step forward, and the clone flipped itself up onto its feet, and got into a fighting stance. "That clone's determination dwarfs all else, it has nothing to follow but my orders! It does not falter before anyone, not even a stupid, powerless little golden boy!" Ada paused and smiled beneath her mask.

"3 minutes until global extinction!"

The second fireball turned orange in Jenso's hand, but nearly exploded, burning the entire length of his arm. But the clone's kick swooped safely over his head, and Jenso easily knocked him right off his feet with his own kick. The clone twisted helplessly in the air, but showed no signs of dispelling its flames.

A Hero Tale: Lystra

The robed man blinked calmly, and glared upon Lystra's shield. The silence that followed was agonizing for Emilia, but the fact that Kalen was taking his precious ass time to get across the lakes edge only made everything worse. But to her surprise, Kalen was able to reach them without the intruder uttering a single word following Lystra's explanation.

"Who's this?" Kalen asked, slowing his pace to a crawl. He didn't wait for an answer. "I've never seen anyone with hair like that, before. Are you from-" Kalen paused as he circled the man, catching sight of the blood that stained the front of his robe. The hulking man stepped back, and made his way between the girls and the bloodied man. He noticed Lystra's shield, but wasn't very concerned with its origins in the moment. He was more concerned with who's blood that was. The robed man tilted his head forward and looked at his own body, before meeting Kalen's stare.

"I'm sorry, this is not how I expected to introduce myself, Kalen," The man croaked. Kalen backed away, closer to Lystra and Emilia, with a strange fear welling up from the very center of his chest. "I have already met with your brother, but he was not interested in my guidance. I am sincerely hoping your response will differ from his." Emilia pulled Lystra away from Kalen and whispered into her ear as quietly as she could manage..

"We should run!"

"Where is my brother?" Kalen asked firmly. The man pointed behind him, towards the outcropping.

"His corpse is behind the shattered rock." Kalen's expression didn't change. He looked at the masked man and calmly nodded. Emilia pulled harder on Lystra's shoulders.

"Now!"

"What did you ask him- Rather, what did you wish of us, both?" Kalen inquired.

"I am looking for a student."

Ada cringed at Jenso's words, and in that moment, Jenso's kick sent the clone flying across the room. The magical witch's puddle began to bubble, and she turned to face Jenso with a stern glance. "4 minutes, you incompetent whelp," she growled, raising her hand.

From where the clone landed, dust rose, but it stood up straight and began walking towards Jenso with its entire body coated in blue flames. The clone stared Jenso down and dashed towards him, conjuring two blue fireballs, one in each hand, and throwing them at Jenso, right before launching a flaming kick towards his lower body.

Scattered Shades: Arcadia Chronicles

People lose interest, that's the most deciding factor. Sometimes it becomes a chore to write if people become less engaged, which is why I try to get people to contribute to the universe, and become invested, so that they really feel like they're part of something.

I want to emphasize that there is no 'post expectation' for this RP. 1 paragraph, 5, 10, idc. As long as you can convey what your character is doing and feeling, it's all good here.

@13org Thanks.

Also, to anyone interested, I may create a dicord/skype chat for this group if the RP actually thrives for more than 200 posts. We'll see. Considering how much effort I've put into this universe, I hope we get somewhere that isn't synonymous with 'death'
