ENDLESS JOURNEYS (O/A)

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Zephyr put Alejandro down on a chair. He looked at Kerana with a knowing smile. "I seem familiar because I'm known by all with a connection to nature. I will answer any questions you have with what little time is available to me. But for now...Trinity, if you could please take us somewhere safe from prying eyes. The inn keeper will collect our equipment. We can reclaim them later."  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova watched his old friend, well...it felt like an old friend but he still couldn't remember everything. Zephyr....What did that name mean again? He knew the answer but currently couldn't dig deep enough into the memories. Then Shara made her escape. To be honest he thought the method was surprising but also surprisingly primitive. Without thinking he shot out a bolt of lightning from his hands towards Shara as she leaped out. Nova knew he had missed. Firing a couple more afterwards but bending them so they would make the angle down.

Afterwards Trinity popped up and the gang was complete again. And there he was still wearing only his pants. As he walked back to the room he muttered to himself.

" Zephyr....Zephyr...wind...spirit...wolf spirit of the winds? Guardian of the wind? Hmm...not enough information.." He quickly changed into his normal outfit. His crankiness might have vanished but he was still tired. He may have gotten a few hours of sleep the day before but he created a Fake Wind Crystal which took a lot out of him. So if they could sleep soon he would really appreciate it.

Trinity nodded at the wise one that looked like Alec. She lead them to the room that she and Alejandro would share. She opened the door and let them all in, "You can put him down there..." she said referring to the bed over by the window.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

The wolf nodded to Trinity in appreciation and stepped over to the bed. She gently placed Alejandro down, then turned to face the rest of the group.

"I am Zephyr; wind guardian of the forests, and fourth son of the great wolf mother Moro."  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova brightened up a bit after hearing it. He almost got it. Memories came along with Zephyr's identity. Nova gave himself a small smile, eyes cast down. The names of his siblings. They had to be related to the other elements. Zephyr was eastern wind or soft breeze if he was not mistaken. All ancient names with meanings that are lost in time. Well some of em. Nova wish his memory was more clear but he could only come up with potential names. Kaia or Gaia, perhaps Terra for the one related to Earth. Naia or Naiad could be Water, Candace or Pyrena for Fire. Nova was enjoying himself with guessing their names. They could even all be wrong but at least he had given it some thought. It had been a while since he digging in his mind for distant memories. Perhaps he was enjoying himself a bit too much. You could clearly see on his face that he was enjoying himself. His smile was a bit bigger.  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Zephyr let a hearty and honest chuckle. "Be at ease young fox kin. You have been traveling with your friend, not I. Mother chose me to be his spirit...the reason why still eludes me, but it is not my place to question her decision."  

[PixelMuse]

This was a little weird for Trinity but she needed to find out what is wrong with Alejandro. "So, Zephyr... what has happened to our comrad? Who did this to him?"  

[Nova Blancke]

Nova stepped forward.

"I believe I can answer that. Alejandro here is under the influence Shara's powder. Think of it as a extremely potent love powder. Even on the same sex it has almost the same influence. I am sure we can counteract it soon. If not...well..it does wear off eventually."

"And our lovely Miss Shara works for the necromancer and is looking for none other than you Trinity. She was nice enough to pretty much state why she was here.The Necromancer wants you dead but that is nothing new now is it? Trinity the Titan Terror...." Nova chuckled at the name." You'd think people can come up with a better name no? But aside from that we know nothing new. Other than the obvious that there will be other attempts at your life. One last thing, she wanted to start a little war between the foxes and wolves by having Alec kill Kerana. I would not be surprised if she manages to do that to other races."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

"She was given a fools errand in that regard. Very few people outside of the forest kin know of the bond between wolf and man, and even fewer are aware of the fail safes in place to make sure the guardians don't break their oath. Some are put in place by Mother, and other...less humane...methods were put in place by the fox kin elders."

"But the old one is correct. Your Valkyrie comrade will either come out of this, or the pup will be able to cure him with the use of his herbs."  

[PixelMuse]

Trinity heard Shara's name but thought it was a mistake she heard the name come up again her eye began to twitch. Please tell me this is some sort of joke... Shara is dead I saw her laying there with a pitch fork in her chest. There's nothing deader than that...no... someone must be pretending to be her and is using her name to throw me off... though everything Nova has said sounds as manipulative as she'd be... Could this be the same self centered brat that lived in my home town?

Trinity glared at him as he chuckled, "The name seems to work very well for the wanted posters that want me dead. I find it nothing to laugh at." I twas obvious she was not thrilled about the choice of name but still did not find it at all funny.  

[Kittyusha]

Alejandro Inazuma

Ale shifted uneasily. His mind hurt now, a stinging sensation, but nothing that would cause problems. Though it did remind him of one of his mentor's many ways of amusing himself while teaching discipline when Ale did something wrong. Slowly he got up and shook his head, then took a look around. "Sorry for the wait..." He said as he rubbed his eyes. "Just who was that really? Damn shōfu got me good..." He continued as he looked around for a water source. "Any of you got any water so I can clean this stinging powder out of my eyes?" He asked.  

[Nova Blancke]

" I've been accused of worse." He said with a sigh as he waved away her glare. Again, a memory from a different life." Oh yes, she also mentioned you destroyed her home town if I am not mistaken."

"Now for you...interesting that the powder isn't as effective on you as it is on others. Should have lasted longer. Perhaps it is a racial thing. Now hold still" Nova told Alejandro as water began to form in front of him. With swift motion it water moved like a snake towards Alejandro's eyes. It then placed itself there on his eyes and only on his eyes. There was as small current inside of the water to make sure all of the powder went out. Then Nova has another of his brilliant ideas.

" That should take care of everything. Now let's see can reconstruct her."

The blob of water floated towards Nova's hands and stayed in between them. Slowly it froze as it began to take a shape similar to that of Shara. If he had put more time into it then perhaps it would have become a perfect copy but time was something they didn't have at the moment.

" This is what she looked like Trinity. Her hair was blonde however."  

[Rikki Tikki Travi]

Zephyr added, "She was also incredibly flirty, and she kept getting our names wrong. I thought at first that she was doing it on purpose, but after she called the pup Alex more than once it became apparent that she doesn't care to remember."
