Re: Tales of Alidaire: The Corruption Disc 2

Whipping some blood off her chin, Rosetta sent a nod of thanks to the summoner. She had almost killed herself. Now back in control of her mind, she dashed toward the edge of the ship where the creature lay in wait. She would deal as much damage as possible before falling because the chances were she was going to be targeted.

[Rosetta] moves to [F-7].

"Let's see how you like this," she said, focusing her mana. Her rapier's blade began to glow a red hot before bursting into flames, a loud roar ringing throughout the ship. Ready, Rosetta launched a three piercing stabs through the edge and at the creature.

The mighty serpent felt each sphere of darkness pelt into her, but was more concerned by the blazing heat that seemed to hurt the most. Directly in front of her was the cause; a cause that had to be eliminated. She growled fiercely and raised her tail only to bring it down with great speed, piercing through the woman's torso. The serpent withdrew her tail only to stab the woman two more times, watching as blood splattered the deck of the ship.

Pandora waits.

Valincar moves to E6.

Seeing that Rosetta had just been viciously attacked and left for dead, he hovered closer to her. Taking out a small, white crystal, he placed it gently on her wounds and watched as they managed to close and life was restored to her. "Time to rise, once again, Rosetta," he with a gentle ferocity. "Shall we exact revenge upon the beast?" he asked her, gesturing towards the giant serpent with his blade.

Lyra moves to G7.

Lyra was surprised at how effective her spells were despite the strange energy draining the power of mana around. Knowing this, however, did not stop her from her true goal. She continued to approach the serpent. The only way her spells would have great effect would be only if they had afflictions attached. So, she glared at the serpent and watched as a green aura appeared around it, hoping to poison the rampaging monster.

Now there was a new Target. Lily had lost the use of her arms the previous turn and that needed to be dealt with. Raising her staff once more, orange mana shot at Sonia's ally. It covered the archer, surrounding her before sinking into her skin. Mana rushed to her arms, wiping away the nasty effect of the creatures attacks and allowing her to fight once more.

Scather saw the fencer fall before him, only to be rescued by the ghost. The creature had declared war to see who could defeat the other first. Flying high into the sky, the energy dragon darted towards the serpent, spinning around it in circles, shooting a beam at it all the while before roaring loudly in its face before darting back to its previous start.

Lily looked down at her arms as they were covered by the orange mana that Sonia sent her. She felt a sickening crunch as her arms popped back into their sockets and fused back together. Lily lifted her arms, staring curiously as she wiggled her fingers in front of her eyes. Lily's emotionless expression quickly curved into a wicked grin. She reached down, grabbing her strung bow and pointing it at Pandora.

"Beast. Prepare yourself for one of the most painful experiences in your life." Lily declared, letting all of her spiteful emotions flow through her body. Her body now began to glow blood red instead of the orange from before. Lily's eyes went wild, as well as her wicked smile, which turned into a snarling frown. Her fingers stopped wiggling, they were clenched into tight fists instead.

Lily growled at Pandora, the red mana still surrounding her body. She was almost like a beast now, glaring and growling at the beast attacking her comrades. Lily was wild, and there was no telling what terrible move she had in store.

Rosetta felt her consciousness return and twitched. Regaining the use of her mind, she forced her body to move. Her hand somehow grabbed hold of her rapier, which she had dropped when the creature pierced through her body. Using it to support her, Rosetta was somehow able to return to her feet, though still a bit unsteady. The massive blood loss had caused her to feel light-headed and a little dizzy.

"Thank you, Valincar," she let slip, trying to regain her bearings. Disoriented eyes landed on the serpent in the waters and closed. "I apologize for the trouble but it seems I need a moment to settle myself." She brought a hand to her temple, eyebrows furrowing. "The blood I have lost has made it hard for oxygen to reach my brain."

There. She was the one making the gashes in serpent's scales. Apparently, she had been invisible before; she couldn't be targeted. But now, Pandora could see. The confusion was cleared and it was time to deal with this pest in the best way she knew how. She slowly arose out of the water, hovering in mid-air before charging straight across the deck slamming into Rosetta and Zero. As she charged through the air, the air itself seemed to be disintegrated. Anything in that space was being ripped apart by some force. By the time Pandora settled back into the water, nothing was left in the space she charged through...except for the dead body of the nuisance by some miracle.

Pandora waits.

What he had witnessed was so horrific. He never wanted to see it again. The nightshade had been directly next to the serpent's line of fire, and he watched Rosetta get ripped apart by the substance that was destroying everything in its wake. Even now he saw Zero's dead body just floating in the void the devastating attack left behind. Valincar vanished and reappeared next to Pandora. He knew it wouldn't do much, but he had to attack now. The serpent had to fall.

It was pointless to try and poison this mighty beast. It would take eons for it to circulate and actually do something. So, she unleashed blast after blast of dark spheres, watching as one after the other slammed into the frightening serpent. Victory was in their grasp, but they had to stay strong. In the back of her mind, she hoped Rosetta would be all right. Would...that be the end of her? Was she gone for good? You don't even know the girl that well...but this can't be the end..., Lyra thought as the last sphere collided with Pandora.

Lyra waits.

by Zerifachias Wed Sep 22, 2010 9:35 pm

Lily's eyes flared with rage when she saw Pandora unleash that terrible attack. Her grip on her bow tightened until her knuckles turned white, her lips set in a straight line, also turning white. In a fit of rage, Lily threw her bow to the ground, got down on one knee, and slammed both of her hands down, channeling an enormous surge of mana into the deck. Her rage only increased when she noticed that Rosetta's body had completely disappeared from sight, and the water beneath the ship began to shake and become more disturbed with every passing second.

Suddenly, arrows made completely of stone shot up from the water and zoomed around the battlefield, quicker than the eye could follow. Each one of these halted in midair, then snapped towards Pandora. The arrows then streaked towards the beast at lightning speeds, piercing the beast over and over again until it looked like a pincushion.

Lily didn't move from her spot on the ground. She kept her balance by using her arms to keep her upright. Even after Pandora fell, Lily stayed put.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pandora let out one final roar before her body became completely submerged in the water. Moments passed, but she did not resurface. Suddenly, the energy that had been plaguing the area slowly began to lift. The strange colors streaming through the air faded away until all that was left was bright sunlight and white clouds in the azure sky. The sea calmed and the boat rocked at a nice, gentle pace. Slowly, the fishermen came from below the deck to see that everything was okay. The path of destruction Pandora had ripped through the ship was stitching itself back together causing Zero's unconscious body to land on the deck with a slight thud.

Valincar looked around frantically for Rosetta. What would happen to her? That's when he heard it.

"Valincar! Quick! Above you!" Lyra shouted suddenly, pointing into the sky.

The nightshade looked up to see Rosetta's body falling from above a little ways away from his position. It was easy to move without legs; he hovered to where he expected her to land quickly and held out his arms. In mere seconds, the element striker was safely back in the realm of things not forgotten. Valincar didn't try and stand her up immediately; he had no idea what it was like to suffer from an attack so vicious.

"Rosetta...are you okay?" he asked gently, brushing the hair out of her face. He was afraid to speak too loudly. He had no idea what to expect. Where had she gone? How did she return? He pushed the thoughts aside and figured that it would be best to just be glad that she did return.

Lyra, relieved she had warned the dead man in time, strolled over to Lily and placed a hand on her back before kneeling down. "Hey, Lily. Quite the move you pulled there. You all right?" she spoke up in concern. The archer apprentice seemed a bit unresponsive at the moment.

by Zerifachias Thu Sep 23, 2010 4:50 pm

Lily stayed quiet for a little while, looking towards Rosetta. So her worrying had been for naught. She could feel the effects of her emotions wearing off, but it was hardly noticeable next to her rising rage of worrying over nothing. After a long time, Lily finally stood up, her bow still on the ground. She clenched her fist tightly, her knuckles turning white. Lily's eyes flashed as she let out a scream, driving her fist into the wood ship next to her.

Pulling her fist back out of the wood and flipping her hair back, she let out a puff of exasperated air. She smiled at Lyra, "I'm fine." She said, "Just a little frustrated is all."

by Xenosaga Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:22 pm

Rosetta let out a small groan, her body giving a little spasm. She shifted a little in Valincar's arms before her eyes began to open. They had a rather glazed look in them, as if she had lost them. But it was gone as soon as she blinked once her mind returned to her and flashes of what had happened appeared in her mind. Rosetta stiffened slightly, her entire face unreadable.

". . . . Thank you," she finally said and carefully pulled away from the male. Her eyes seemed to search the boat before they locked onto Zero. Instantly, her face contorted into a look of such fury and rage, it almost seemed as if she were about to rip the other female in two. With her bare hands. But, as if realizing what she was doing, Rosetta regained control of her features and smoothed them back into an expression of stone.

Rosetta pushed herself back onto her feet, though a little unsteady. When she tried to walk, she stumbled, as if her sense of balance and direction had been throw off completely. The place she had gone to was disorienting to say the least. No doubt only minutes passed since she was sent in there. But the utter darkness had made it feel like days, months, maybe years. Rosetta knew if she had stayed there any longer, she would have gone insane. It was no wonder Carol was.

Though her expression was clean of anger and hate, nothing could keep her from radiating a bloody aura dark enough that anyone in close range felt suffocated by it. Rosetta stepped away from Valincar, recognizing her mood for what it was and not wanting the male to get caught in it. She would have to stay away from others for a while, especially her. Sending another scathing look at the object of her negative emotions with her eyes shooting daggers so cold they would have burned if they were real, Rosetta kept a respectable distance from her companions. She was silent, not wishing to speak least it come out harsh and cold even if she wished to ask who had finished off the creature.

by **Silver** Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:33 pm

Scather flew off into the distance, disappearing in a sparkle of light. Sonia closed her eyes, thanking him for once more coming to her aid. She took his help for granted sometimes, but now she knew better. Opening her eyes once more she turned back to the group, taking immediate notice to Rosetta. She had changed, and it was obvious as to what for. Zero had asked for Rosetta to be like this now, and there was no changing that.

"W...we should get back to K..."

by Shadow Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:24 pm

"We should." Shadow agreed with Sonia.

He had already managed to keep himself stably standing, though occasionally a surge of pain was produced from the throbbing wounds he had. A swift glance was everything Shadow needed for him to confirm everyone was still alive, including Rosseta, who was raptured into nonexistence by Pandora's bestial attack. Shadow sighed, a weak smirk crossing his face.

by **Silver** Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:29 pm

It was then that Sonia noticed the others still might not be in the best condition to leave. Raising her staff, green mana covered the ship. Thanks to the lack of blockage from the aura, it spread all around, surrounding all who had been hurt and sinking into their skin. In seconds the wounds were healing, becoming as little as blacks and blues. Though it didn't heal everything, it worked quite well.

"I... is everyone o... okay now? Did I heal everyone?"

by **Masquerade** Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:40 pm

Valincar took note of Rosetta's quick expression change and backed off a bit. He had a few guesses as to what she was dwelling about and decided to not ask any questions and leave her be. It would be in his best interest just to keep away from her for now. He hadn't really felt hurt after the battle, so Sonia's spell did nothing for him. Hopefully, it made the others feel a bit better.

Lyra chuckled slightly as she watched Lily punch a hole in the ship. "That's....a relief?" she offered lightheartedly, content with realizing that Lily had no bodily harm. Lyra felt a bit drained, however. Her mana needed to recharge. Without really wanting to, she plopped down on the deck and sat there, tilting her hat a bit to allow the sun to hit her face. "The fishermen still have to get us back to the harbor. I say we just enjoy the ride," she spoke up nonchalantly, a casual smile upon her face.

by Zerifachias Thu Sep 23, 2010 9:25 pm

Lily paused for a second, looking down at Lyra. She shrugged and sat down next to her. Lily then reached down and unbuckled her vest, taking it off to leaving her in a thin, white undershirt. "I've always wanted to relax on a cruise." She said simply, stretching her arms back and lying down, crossing her legs. Her long, purple hair sprayed out on the surface of the deck, shining in the sun.

"Now I'm just going to relax and enjoy myself," Lily assured herself, "No fighting, no physical activity, nothing but relaxation."

Lily looked over at Valincar, a grin forming on her face as she shouted, "Hey Valincar! You look a little pale, why don't you get some sun!?" (Ahh, dead humor...)

The boat began to move slowly back to the harbor, but the fishermen were in no rush. They were in good spirits and rightfully so. Their joy made Lyra smile a bit. She tossed her hat into the air, causing little spirals of paper to come swirling out of it after which they danced through the air. She wanted to lay back like Lily, so she did. The robes she donned covered her normally revealing outfit, so guys could take any sneak peeks.

Valincar scratched his head and glanced over at Lily. "The sun hath no effect on my skin," he replied uneasily. "I could remain out here for eons and nothing would change, for I no longer have a physical form." He paused. "At least I doth not have to worry about sunburn," he offered lightly, a smile forming on his face as he turned and paced towards the railings, looking out across the sea.

Lily growled, irritated for some reason. She sprung up to her feet, ignoring the fact that she left her vest behind, and marched over to Valincar. Lily then raised her hand, and swung it through Valincar's face. Although it passed straight through him without any effect, Lily knew that Valincar would still be as shocked if he had a physical body.

"I know you're dead, Valincar," Lily said, poking his chest with a sharp finger, "It. Was. A. Joke. Lighten up." Lily growled at him, although her eyes were practically sparkling with amusement. "You're a ghost, we get it, but that doesn't mean you have to talk like that. Jeez." With that said, Lily marched back over to Lyra, lying down again, all signs of irritation disappearing within seconds.

Sonia just blinked at what Lily had just done, not able to speak. It burnt her up on the inside. Joking around was one thing, but physically doing something about how he acted was far enough. She felt her stare turn into an angry glare, the archer had asked for it. Of course, the summoner knew that Valincar wasn't affected in the slightest, but it still got to her. Her hand tightened into a fist, but then let go. She shouldn't do anything to the archer she would end up regretting later. Turning away from them, she forced herself to let this act go. Though things would not be the same next time...

Valincar just shrugged his shoulders and scratched his head some more in confusion. He wasn't about to spare anymore words on Lily unless he wanted to get poked some more, even though it didn't matter. He sighed and turned around again to look out at the sea. Even when he was alive, he had never seen it before. All he had witnessed was the jungle, and he was never allowed to leave it. And when he died, he ended up in the ruins, never allowed to leave those except under extreme circumstances. Although the Grimoire de Origens being stolen was a horrible disaster, he was kind of glad that it happened. He would never have been able to venture forth and see the continent for himself, and he never would have met his friends and allies.

It failed to occur to him that the story hadn't really even started yet. There was so much more to do with the guild, and the Grimoire de Origens still had to be located. What was the next step in recovering it? Valincar pushed those thoughts from his mind and enjoyed the view instead. There was no telling when he would be able to see it again.

As the group relaxed, the fishing vessel slowly inched back to the mainland before finally pulling into the harbor. As the group stirred and moved to get off the boat, they were ambushed by the excited townspeople.

"There they are!" a woman screamed from the crowd.

"Mommy, wook! They awe da hewoes!!" a little girl spoke to her mother who was waving gently at the party.

Everywhere, excited people tossed confetti and poured drinks and the smells of a feast were already emanating from nearby kitchens and restaurants. The group stepped down off of the ship and marched into the main square of the harbor where picnic tables and such were set up. They were all left to marvel at the people's joy at being liberated from the wrath of the monster, Pandora.

Lily smiled and nodded at the entourage around them. She grinned at Lyra, "You know, a girl like me could get used to all this attention," she said. Lily was rather surprised at the reactions they received from the citizens. Although, now that she thought about it, Pandora was an absolute pain to deal with, and she was causing all sorts of trouble, so it made sense that the citizens would react this way. Lily now spotted the feast being prepared in their honor and her grin widened, "A girl like me could really get used to this."

Lyra gazed around with a slight smile upon her face before placing an arm around Lily's waist. "Well, I must assume you don't see this kind of phenomenon very often, hm?" she replied, waving kindly back to the some of the little girls who were yelling and waving. "I don't see much of this either, since I'm usually the villain. I say let's enjoy it while we can," she concluded as a few chefs were bringing out large platters of steaming vegetables and freshly baked bread right out of the oven. A few housewives brought out their jars of preservatives and butter. A rather large gentleman hefting a huge, thickly woven basket on his shoulder walked through the crowd and placed his load on the table revealing several bottles of ice cold champagne. Several assistants brought forth trays and trays of clean glasses.

Valincar was just stunned. A few boys were at his feet, admiring his blade and glancing curiously at his transparent body. He smiled at them, and they weren't afraid. It was a kind smile. He might have been a ghost, but he was a friendly one. That's when he realized he wouldn't be able to enjoy the food or drink, but at least the others would get a long-deserved treat.

Her anger melted once the townspeople began cheering for them. She had never been treated like this before. She had always been kept in a closed and quiet environment, all because of her destined class in their family. Nevertheless, they were having a feast thrown for them, and attention was impossible to escape. She didn't quite like it, but she didn't hate it either.

"W... we'll be s...staying then..."
