				<strong>Thousands of years ago</strong> before his departure from earth, Buddha decided to have a grand race and all the animals in the kingdom were invited. However only 12 animals showed up. Grateful for their efforts, Buddha rewarded them be naming each year of the Chinese's Zodiac after the animals. The 12 animals that came for the grand race were a rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Along side the the twelve animals that looked after the year there were also the the 12 celestial beings that looked after the months. Virgo, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pieces,, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpius and Libra. <br><br><div align="center">(https://gbf.wiki/images/thumb/4/4f/Mist-Shrouded_Isle_Large_%28Clear%29.jpg/500px-Mist-Shrouded_Isle_Large_%28Clear%29.jpg)</div><br>The twelve years animals spirits and the twelve celestial spirits lived upon a mystical isle, unlocated by any map, unchanging in a ever changing society. The spirits leave the isle and visit what is known as "The main land" when it's their turn to bestow gifts upon the human race. Theses gifts can be good, or bad depending upon the spirits whims. However as the century's fade and change and the spirits notice the development of man and technology they themselves become lazy in their duties.<br><br><strong>Modern day</strong><br>It's ten minutes to midnight on New year's Eve, this is not any new years though it is the new years eve that has been declared as the one where the world as human kind have known it up to this point will change forever. A stone tablet dating back to the original Aborigines was unearthed declaring that the world would end......humankind didn't realize how true that prophesy would be. Ten minutes to midnight and twenty four invisible spirits who had greater power then mankind realized hovered in position. Ready to end their endless existence by handing over their spirit to a human.<br>

On the stroke of midnight twenty four people inexplicably collapsed and they all shared the same dream. A dream where they saw a ball of light coming towards them and then forming a general shape, and while each human had the same dream they would all remember that the spirit looked completely different. Some saw the spirit as human, others as an animal, others still as a swirl of wind. The spirit spoke and it's voice was the voice of many and spoke every language. All it said was<br><em>HELP!</em><br><br>The humans were then bombarded with a number of images, a nuclear bomb exploded, rows of dead bodies, disfigured and starving people. Fields of disease crops and then finally an isle floating peacefully and calmly in the etherl, waiting patiently. As the isle vanished each human receive a message from the spirit that had taken root inside them. What the spirit said or did was forgotten as the human awoke to screams of fear.

She stood in a long line of eager people, cupping her thermos of hot chocolate with a grin on her face. The quite red haired female had been outside the book store since it's official close time of six pm, she was eagerly awaiting the special midnight opening for a new release. It had been worth it, there had only been a few people there before her and as she tilted her head to peek back Silvia noticed the long, long line that had now formed.<br><br>In the distance she could just spy Big Ben and the large countdown display declaring just ten minutes to go! Blowing casually on the hot beverage Silvia took a sip as all over London voices began to shout. <strong>10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!!!</strong> Boom! Bang! Fireworks exploded overhead as people hugged and kissed around her, Silvia however was noticeably alone but the red haired woman didn't let it bother her instead she kept her beady eyes on the door of the book shop and as the first fireworks of the New Year faded, the doors opened.<br><br>Instantly there was a swell in the line, "Suger!"&nbsp; She exclaimed as hot liquid spilled onto her top, luckily she was wearing enough layers to not feel a burn. Silvia turned about to give the pusher a piece of her mind when black dots covered her vision. The red haired swayed alarmingly and a mumbled voice call "Hey are you OK...." Then Silvia blacked out. She didn't even remember hitting the floor. At first there was darkness and then into that darkness came a ball, growing bigger and bigger. The rational part of Silvia's mind cried out <em>I can't be dead! I need the new Harry Potter!</em> the ball of light however turned out to be a tiger... However its fur was every colour and pattern of all living tigers, it's great mouth opened and a roar burst forth that screamed <em>HELP!</em><br><br>Silvia's mind was bombarded with images and then finally grew calm as a smaller oddly greyish white tiger stalked towards her offering a charm in its mouth. The woman reached out and as she did so the red head awoke with a start as screams echoed all around her. Silvia sat up, her mind confused, she remembered little of what just happened. People were running all around her and as she looks around confused she suddenly saw why. Stalking towards her, bold as brass was a large, extremely large tiger. Silvia sat frozen to the spot as it approaches her and then to add to the bizarreness of her night it lay down across her feet and stared up at her.

Being outside of the big city, it was much harder to keep the place warm even despite their best efforts. Reseda Kai tossed another two logs into the roaring fireplace as she shivered, her thin frame bundled in a few layers of sweatshirts and a light jacket. Off to her side was a canvas, laid out on a little blue tarp besides a set of spray paints, and it was half finished. Her fingers too cold to work outside anymore, Reseda had brought in her work when her fingertips had numbed, careful to keep it out of the way so that the paint would not be ruined. A sunrise peeking over snow covered trees had been captured within the canvas and paints, and she smiled as she picked up a few more cans. She shook them, testing the amount left in each, before hearing a <em>clang</em> in the kitchen. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Ma’?” she called out, her soft voice almost lost among the crackling flames of the fireplace. “What are you makin’?” It was New Year’s Eve and like the few years before, Kellan was nowhere to be found nor heard from. She scowled as she closed the fire off, the feeling of guilt riddling her as she heard more pans clink in the kitchen. He blamed her for a lot, and she could hardly defend herself. What good was a little sister who couldn’t even remember the face of her father? From the other room, she heard a muffled <em>’snacks!’</em> before smiling. Pushing herself back onto her feet, Reseda yawned with a stretch as she turned on the television. It was exceedingly late, the news already on the ball drop in Times Square, and she settled onto the sofa. The scent of food wafted her way thirty minutes later as she was watching one of the performances, and as footfalls came from behind her, Reseda tilted her head back. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nadia smiled down at her daughter, “Snacks!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Reseda giggled as she took the plates, letting her mother settle in beside her. There was leftover pizza from the place down the street, some homemade biscuits, and a few pear slices. While the array was not something she’d normally make, Nadia looked immensely pleased with herself. “Thanks, Ma’.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; The two settled in to finish watching the performances. Minutes bled away until it was time to ring in the new year. Reseda took both plates to the kitchen and rushed back, holding her mother’s hand as they stood up to watch the ball drop. From ten, they counted down, eyes sparkling in hope for the new year, and with a pang of sadness in their hearts that they were missing someone, but it was almost there. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <em><strong>5...4...3...2...1…</strong></em><br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; “HAPPY NEW YEAR!” the two women shouted as they turned towards one another, planting a kiss upon each other’s cheek as they hugged. Nadia picked up a glass of wine, one she had been nursing since before the countdown, and Reseda was about to sit back down when she swallowed. Her tongue felt like cotton in her mouth as it dried up, and she coughed. At first, she thought it had been the screaming, but she was unable to confirm her suspicions. Instead, as she turned to make her way to the kitchen, she felt herself pitch forward, that nauseating feeling slamming into her as she felt like she was falling, and her vision went white.<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Her first sight after the blinding light was water. A shrill scream left her as she fell, her stomach lurching again, as she hit cold, crisp waters. The rushing of water echoed as she tried to hold her breath, only to find that she was no longer falling, but floating. It took her a moment to open her eyes and she gasped. What should have been dark, muddled waters of the ocean, was actually crystal clear for her. Vibrant coral and reefs were below her as she floated along with hundreds of brilliantly colored fish swimming along and zipping out of her way. It was during that time that she found herself not simply floating along at random, but rather following a noise. A tune, one similar to that of a song, was calling to her, beckoning her forward. Curious, and rather confused, she followed it to what seemed to be a figure but she was blind to their features by the ice blue glow they had. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Yet… it looked like they were extending a hand out to her. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; For a moment, she hesitated. What was this place, these sights, and this figure? They were logical thoughts to cross her mind, but she shook her head before reaching out, compelled to touch. Her fingers brushed against a cool warmth, and she gasped. The figure had left something in her hand and made sure to close her fingers around whatever the item was before she heard the sharp, high pitched scream. At first it was agony, then the water seemed to recede, leaving her with an ominous vision. Featureless figures discarded upon a desolate ground, lifeless and cold. She yelped as she tightened her grip on the item handed to her until she looked up at the glowing thing again. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; “Help…” came the musical whisper. Reseda felt herself slipping as her vision started to go black, the plea reaching a crescendo that was deafening,“Help… <em>HELP!</em>” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; A shout escaped her as she opened her eyes. Her mother Nadia hovered over her with tear-filled eyes, but relief crossed the elder woman’s face. “You’re awake, thank the gods,” she said before embracing Reseda. Disoriented and concerned, the twenty three year old groaned as she pushed herself up to sit on her own and winced at the throbbing in her head. “O-Ow… Ma’, what happened?” Panicked hazel hues blinked at her. “You passed out and… and…” Reseda tilted her head at her mother’s words, opening her mouth to speak when she felt the need to swallow again, this time her throat feeling even worse. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; “Water,” she begged. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Her mother brought over one glass, then two, three, and a few more. After the seventh glass, and a content sigh, Reseda felt like she could speak freely again, "Ugh, my head still hurts. Did I hit it?" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; "No," Nadia said. "You sort of just lurched forward and nearly gave me a heart attack!" the elder woman put a hand over her heart for effect. "If it had not been for the fact that I was watching you this whole time, I wouldn't believe that it was you."<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Reseda blinked at her mother, "What? Why?"<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; "You... you look different," was the reply given. "Completely different. Your body started to change after you passed out. You had me worried sick!" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Reseda's closed fist tightened and she winced. Opening her right fist, she released an audible gasp as she stared at the little talisman in her hand. A small piece of jewelry that looked like a raindrop in the middle of it (https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/6807df76-8f52-45c3-b59f-cbcb1bc13b35/dcomuko-b494db95-c0cc-4a89-9ecc-c50d995dfa91.jpg/v1/fill/w_600,h_900,q_70,strp/water_spirit_silver_talisman_with_aquamarine_by_gwillieth_dcomuko-fullview.jpg) was in the palm of her hand, and she gulped. She had a strange dream and... "Ow!" She winced at the immense pain in her head as she tried to recall what she had seen in the dream, but to no avail. She did remember something being placed in her hand, though, and this little item seemed to be it. But... but how did she acquire it if she had dreamt it up? <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; "What... What is going on?" she whispered. <br></td></tr></tbody></table>

People we're screaming and thrashing about in the crowded bar. She really should have known better than to go to a bar on new years. She hated loud noises, crowds and most of all, people <em> flirting </em> with her. But where was she? In the middle of a impromptu dance floor, drink in hand and the most unimpressed look on her face as this young guy was blabbing on about his <em> Audi</em>, his arm wrapped around her waist and his spit flying against her cheek.<br><br>&nbsp;She shook her head and nudged the guy off of her as she walked to the door. The doorframe supported her as she looked out the window at the moon, an eyebrow puiqing up when she heard the countdown on the tv start. A loud scream instantly garnered her attention. <strong>"Get the fuck off of me!"</strong> Rose turned and scowled when she saw the same man from before <em>forcing his hand up a college girls knee length skirt</em><br><strong>10,9,8...</strong><br>Now normally she was against fighting but nobody else around seemed to care about anything more than getting some. She marched over and with no hesitation <em>slapped</em> the man. <strong>7,6,5...</strong><br>That seemed to get his (and the crowds) attention. She looked at the girl, who was currently staring disguistedly at the man.<br>"You alright?" A moment later the girl nodded, said thank you and then strode off, still glaring at the drunk Audi boy, hands fussing at her skirt. <strong>4,3,2...</strong><br>Rose turned to the guy, about to cuss him out but then. <strong>1,Happy New year everyone! </strong><br>She lurched forward, her vision of the man's shoes starting to fade into a black nothingness.<br>A few minutes later she was spinning, her throat rasping and her eyes watering as she stared straight ahead at what seemed to be a horse, made of the coils of a windstorm. It did nothing at first but gazed straight into her soul, just like the other dreams she had been experiencing.Then it neighed, a loud rumbling sound that hit her as if she was caught in a stampede. It was strange,the neigh in and of itself was indeed that...but she understood it. All it said was one word, one word that implied panic, and disorder and chaos. <strong>HELP!</strong><br>A flurry of images flew before her eyes, a bomb, rows and rows of dead rotten corpses, a bird's eye view of several diseased crop fields, a cluster of sick and starving people staring at her with wide scared eyes, and than...an island. Floating, in the clouds, Serene and not nearly as jarring as the other images. She cried out, her head thumping and her ears ringing. The horse peered at her, beginning to say something else but she couldn't focus, she couldn't see, she couldn't breath, all she could hear was screams of terror and trampling feet rushing around her hunched over form as she went back to reality, a tiny <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">horse charm</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://images.prod.meredith.com/product/d2182c46c390e222626b9f731ebc71a0/1510092645440/l/14k-yellow-gold-horse-charm-pendant-womens)</div></div> clutched in her hand.

We have with us a zoo keeper who is hoping to distract the tiger long enough to get you to safety" Silvia nodded her understanding. The zoo keeper crouched by the front of the police car and placed a bag on the floor. From it he pulled a tub out and opened it. Then he threw something towards them and it landed just out of the tigers reach with a wet slap. Silvia leaned forwards slightly and the tiger huffed it's dissatisfaction. "Look, It's meat!" she told the tiger.<br><br>Sure enough the animal turned its impressive head to take in the morsel. It huffed again and turned amber eyes on her as if to say that tiny thing?! Silvia called out "I don't suppose you have anything bigger!" she called. Another slightly louder slap could be heard and Silvia took in the large chunk of meat lying temptingly on the ground "There you are!" she told the tiger. The creature lumbered to its feet and padded over to the meat and began to wolf it down. A third slap as the zookeeper began to lead the tiger away. The police beckoned and slowly Silvia was able to move away.<br><br>It was nearly two am before the red head finally got home, first she needed to give a statement and then they wanted her to go to hospital for a checkup, planting her bag on the edge of the hall she slammed the door, only to have the bag clatter to the floor. Silvia sighed exhausted. Kneeling down the woman began an gathering her things only to find a &nbsp;Chinese fan (http://www.goodorient.com/images/P/GCF1068_200.jpg) amongst her things that she had never seen before.

Kellan knew this, but without a place to go he wandered into the thick crowd as music blared. The annual Rockin' New Year's Eve festivities were alive as people danced and cheered. He stuffed his closed fists into the pockets of his dark sweater as he pushed his way through the crowd. The few items he had in his possession thrown upon his back in a simple grey backpack he had since high school, and he sighed as he tried to push his way through the crowds. Drunks littered the streets as he made his way further into Times Square, the sharp chill rushing through his light sweatshirt and freezing him to the bone. His bleached hair was dyed a pink and blue for some strands, falling into his face to dim the incessant lights that glittered overhead, and he toyed with the lip ring he had, swishing it left to right with his tongue as he continued forward. There was nothing for him to do and he was too stubborn to even call his mother for help. He knew that <em>she</em> would likely still be there and...<br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;A snarl contorted his features as the image of that <em>stranger</em> came to his mind. He gritted his teeth as he considered everything that had happened. Ashley... stupid fucking Ashley. She had assured him that they would all be together, but the moment he moved in with the group everything fell apart. He could not hold a job, though some of it was his own fault, others his friends, but there was only so much he would allow. Earlier that day, two beers into a hang out, Kellan had walked in on Ashley on her knees for Travis, the little dick they brought into the house a week earlier, and Kellan had lost it. Oh, she cried. Told him that she was drunk, a bit confused, and then had the gall to try and include him in a threesome with the prick. He had shouted, cursed her name, and packed his shit before heading out. Now, refusing to go home because <em>she</em> would be there, Kellan was left wandering the city streets in a piss poor mood. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Another number started, the last one before the countdown, and he slowed his step. He came to a halt in front of the McDonalds before exhaling into the cold winter air. A puff of white left his lips as he reached out and popped into the store. He pushed his way through the crowd, the scent of alcohol thick in the air as he placed an order for a dollar burger and a large soda. He dropped the two bucks down and picked up his order, heading back out into the night air. He moved forward, the negative feeling growing in him as he watched families hug, little ones on the shoulders of their parents, lovers hugging and kissing, friends cheering together— and he scowled. He could not shake the feeling that he was missing warmth, hugs, and laughter. He knew that he was missing on mom's snacks and dinner, her laughing at the program, her excited countdowns... but he could not bring himself to admit that he was wrong. Why should he? <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It was all <em><strong>her</strong></em> fault! <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; He bit into the burger with a ferocity as the song ended and the announcers started to hype up the crowd. He turned his hazel eyes up to where the ball was, so small in distance, as regret slowly crept up into him. What was he doing with his life? He was nearing the age of thirty, going into the new year, and had nothing to show for it. His girlfriend of almost two years was a cheating whore for who knew how long, he had distanced himself from his only family, and he was unable to think of <del>his sis—</del> <em><strong>her</strong></em> without becoming angry. The food in his mouth went stale and he forced down the lump in his throat, swallowing his bite with a painful gulp of soda. Everything was going to hell and he had a whole year for it to keep going downhill. Deep down, he wanted to go home. He wanted to hug his mother one more time and apologize for leaving, but he could not admit that he was wrong in his words. The crowd calmed down momentarily as he eyed the crystalline ball, another puff of white escaping him. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>If I make a wish on a ball instead of a star, will it work?</em> The thought flitted through his mind as he watched the spotlights focus on the ball up top, and he watched as the crowd roared in his ear, half a burger in one hand with a drink in the other, and he tongued the lip ring once more. <em>Guess this is the best star I'll get here...</em> he decided as the ball began to move, slowly descending. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>10... 9... 8... 7... 6...</strong><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He watched the ball go down as he made his wish. For the coming year, he wanted to get out of this hellish spiral that had become of his life. He wanted to at least reach out to his mom and at least make amends with her if anything. He wanted to get his life on track to some degree and move past this part of his life. He wanted to have a responsibility that wouldn't just ruin his life. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>5... 4... 3... 2...</strong><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;He wanted something new. He wanted to mend the burnt bridges. He wanted to be the person his father wanted him to be. Someone that his family could be proud of. He wanted to go back to the old days. He wanted to play games, hang out, and help each other... He wanted warm beds and less alcohol. He wanted to be more than a hood rat on New York City's streets at the age of twenty-nine. He turned and pushed his way to the edge of the crowd, unwilling to be crushed by the affection. He turned his eyes up to the ball as it reached the bottom. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; <strong>1... <em>HAPPY NEW YEAR!</em></strong> <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Confetti showered around him as they new year run in, but he only heard silence. The world around him seemed to spin and blend together as he pitched backwards, vision gone. The cup fell from his hands as he collapsed against the wall, crumpling to the ground. The darkness and silence gave way to a scalding temperature as waves crashed around him. For a moment, he could not breathe, and he flailed about. Muddied waters surrounded him, infecting him from the inside out. Within the darkness, a purple light glimmered almost taunting him. It lingered on the precipice of his sight line, taunting him like a flame flickering at a moth, and he reached out. He wanted to grab onto something, anything, that could keep him from drowning in these dark waters. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>A wish, eh?</em> The voice reverberates around him in the water. <em>The answer you seek for your wish is one you already know. There is more at stake...</em> His sight is blinded by that purple light as it rushes at him. Then, images. Destruction, death... corpses littering the ground, buildings laid out in ruins, his city but mere ashes. Then, the voice came at him again, this time shouting in a language he did not understand, but he rather felt. A passionate decree that he felt compelled to follow. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><em>HELP!</em></strong><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan jolted awake with a start and a sharp gasp. He felt his body cooling down from the sensations he had suffered through and forced himself to swallow. Rubbing his tired eyes, he pushed himself from the floor, bewildered. How the hell did he end up on the ground? The crowd was chanting and shouting, people grinding and dancing to the music still. The after party would be going for hours... but it looked like it had recently started. So... he was not out for long. Good. It was too cold to fall asleep on the sidewalk, and even worse, it was only a reminder to what he had already lost. With a huff of annoyance, and bitterness, Kellan turned and moved down an alleyway. He had no other choice tonight but to head to the one place he knew would always be there. The memory of the dark waters surfaced and he gulped. If he had an answer to what he sought, then he already knew that he was not wrong to feel or react how he has. In due time, it would be realized. For now, he wanted a warm bed and something to eat. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Unbeknownst to the skinny man in the dark sweater, he had undergone changes, too. For swishing behind him like a phantom was a tail very much akin to that of a scorpion's. Ignorant to his physical changes, he set off towards the northern part of the city after flagging down a taxi and clambering into the back seat. He gave the direction of his mother's house to the driver before settling back in his seat. He would use the last bit of his cash to get there, but if he could at least figure something out, he could move forward. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes. He had quite the drive, so he could at least rest his eyes. From beneath his hood, strands of ivory hair fell, brushing against his neck. Darker skin made the hair stand out, almost like a gentle glow as another hue sparkled in the dim city lights... A purple crystal held by a silver scorpion was now attached to his ear by a silver clip bearing the symbol of Scorpio (https://i.imgur.com/3UcYuXz.png).<br></td></tr></tbody></table>

That time leading up to the fight. The fight was the euphoric climax, but the fun was in the journey.&nbsp; The weeks and days leading up to the fight. The training, the waiting, every thing that led to the big finish. Fighting was much like sex. You prepare for a date, go over every last detail, then you spend hours agonizing over what to wear, going over every line in your5 head. All to lead up to 6-8 hours enjoyment. The joy is in the journey, ending in climax. After that its time to start it all again. <br><br>Seven minutes till the bell. Zarik had trained for this moment. He had fought his way up from unknown&nbsp; boxing fights to underground clubs. Now it was a fight in a named arena. At least as named as an underground fighting arena can get.&nbsp; He stretched starting with legs and moving up. 5 minutes to stretch 2 minutes to let the tensions rise.&nbsp; He cracked his neck. He stripped down to his shorts and the leather pauldron that had coined him a nickname in the underground. Among the fans he was called Medieval. His style was brutal yet refined. He showed no mercy even when the blood flowed from either side. It was almost time.<br><br><strong>10<br>9<br>8<br>7</strong><br><br>This was it. Time to make his true debut. <br><br><strong>6<br>5<br>4</strong><br><br>Time to get some real money, real fame.<br><br><strong>3<br>2<br>1</strong><br><br>Suddenly he fell. Forward before the bell rung. Images playing in his mind. A nuclear bomb exploded, rows of dead bodies, disfigured and starving people. Fields of disease crops and then finally an isle floating peacefully and calmly in the ethereal, waiting patiently. <br><br><strong> HELP!</strong><br><br><br>The growl echoed in his mind. He saw in his mind a dragon looming over him. The harsh red-gold sheen “YOU WILL DO.” The growl echoed in his mind and suddenly he awoke about an hour later laying in a hospital bed.&nbsp; As he looked around the room he saw a figure floating over him. <em> He said you will do.</em> With that the figure seemed to breathe fire over him, and he passed out again.&nbsp; When he awoke&nbsp; he felt different. He felt better than he had in years. Well except for the fact he had what seemed like a small dragon floating over his bed.&nbsp; <em> "You were chosen by The Dragon.&nbsp; I was his voice of reason. Now I am yours."</em> Zarik sat up and looked at the small red apparition <strong> "So i'm chosen for what? And you do exactly what?"</strong> The red wyrmling seemed to shake as if laughing. <em> "To save the world, and i'm here to make sure you don’t get killed before you get to the island"</em> <br><br>Zaric shot straight up. <strong>" What the fuck are you talking about. I need to be in a ring. I need to be making my name."</strong> The dragon again shook as if chuckling.&nbsp; "<em> The world is your ring. Your name will be known among the cosmos. But first you will need power. and i will give you the knowledge to use the power, but only a little at first. Too much too fast and it will rip you apart."</em> The wyrmling touched the tip of its nose to the young man's forehead.&nbsp; Zaric looked in the direction of the spirit.&nbsp; it looked back at him. <em> "It is now up to you"</em> with that the spirit disappeared

The handle felt warm in her hand. <em>Now where has this come from?</em>she thought. Despite her tiredness the red head was curious and she flicked open the fan. On the paper within was an elaborate pattern of a family of tigers. Was this a joke she wondered in the last few hours she had seen more tigers then she had ever seen in her life. As Silvia stared at the fan something happened, the ink on the fan began to shift and move and then slowly trickle down of the fan to form a puddle of the floor. The puddle grew quickly and before Silvia knew it her knees were covered in ink. Horrified she tried to stand only to find her knees where stuck in the substance.<br><br>The female placed the fan in the black inky puddle and tried to leaver herself out,&nbsp; the only thing that happens was that her hand was now stuck in the goo as well! Then her body began to sink, slowly as if she were stuck in quick sand, her body began to drop, Silvia opened her mouth but no sound escaped as the black ooze sucked her deeper and deeper. All Silvia could do was close her eyes and hold her breath as she sunk inexplicably into the carpet.<br><br><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e2/33/6a/e2336ade2aff5fcf2379440728bb623a.jpg)</div>Her eyes squeezed shut, then she let out a small shriek as something cold splashed her knees. Opening one eyes shaped and opened the other and stared at the sight before her. Inches from where she knelt was a breech with golden sands, beyond that were a line of trees unlike any she had seen before, an odd mist hovered over the tree line and yet the place felt so calm and surreal. Silvia placed a hand on her knee to rise out of the water and then paused. The hand was her own but at the same time it was altered the nails appeared sharper and the skin bronzer. Looking in the water she gasped at the female who stared back. Her entire body was now this broad brown colour. Here and there all over her arms and shoulders were large black stripes.&nbsp; Silvia's hair was longer and had gone a tawney gold colour, long pointy ears poked through the the hair. <br><br>She raised her hands to pat her face in disbelief. Was that really her? What on earth was going on? Then from the tree line came a loud purring noise. Looking up Silvia's jaw dropped in stunned disbelief as the same tiger she had met not three hours before stalked out of the tree line."How on earth did you get here? How did I get here? Where is here?!" she asked the tiger. After everything that had happened so far she would not be at all surprised if the animal spoke.<br>

Visions of floating islands and beings of incredible power. All talking then seeming to fade away. The islands left bare. Something about them made him anxious. Made him feel like he had to be there. Something told him that he needed to get there if he was to make his mark on history. This was where he could be known, and where he could make his name.&nbsp; That was what he felt anyway. He looked down at his hands. The amount of abrasions they had suffered needlessly to come into crystal clear focus. He sighed. This was the path he had chosen.&nbsp; Now he needed to make his way back to the rooftop. He still had a fight to get to.&nbsp; He ran to the outside of the hospital ignoring the nurse that told him he had to sign himself out. <br><br>He hailed the first cab that he could and gave them the address to the Playpen. If he was quick he could get there and still fight. He tossed a hundred AUD at the cab driver and closed his eyes. He smiled as he let the anticipation of the fight build in his system. The adrenaline began to flow into his system. There it was that feeling. Suddenly he felt different, like was was being pulled trough a wormhole his body stretching his hands and feet began itching. The feeling spread throughout his entire body. Then suddenly he was laying on his back. He looked up into a sky. He growled and sat up looking around. What the hell was this? He had been in the back of a cab. He stood and stretched. While pulling his arm across his chest he noticed something weird. He had a tattoo?

Hoping that he could get closer before whoever the hell this was and her pet decided not to find out who the strange man in basketball shorts and a leather pauldron was and make a chew toy out of him. He walked slowly watching them as he drew closer.

She slowly moved her head up and groaned, as her neck clenched up. "Glad to see your awake Rose, you had me scared there." Spoke a deep voice she recognized but couldn't place in her almost hung over state (although she had barely drank anything.) "Awake...<em>ugh</em> yeah...uh...wait, horse? Uh th-the horse?" She stuttered swinging her head up to look at the man. It was one of the bartenders, a large man she had came to know well enough to be friends.<br><br>&nbsp;He raised an eyebrow at her, frowning. "What the hell are you talking about? You just passed out after slapping the guy? What horse?" He questioned, seemingly genuinely confused. "No,no uh...the...island? The dead people? The big fucking black horse? I uh...people were screaming? And running away? What happened there?!?" She groaned shaking her head. <br>"No idea about the dead guys and...the horse and stuff, but people <em>were</em> running around and yelling, the parade was starting and everyone was drunk so it was pretty rambunctious. You were out for the whole thing, it's 2 am...did you hit your head? I can drive you to..." "I'm fine just...uh...fuck...can you give me a second?" She interrupted him, coming off more rude than intended a scowl plastered on her face and her hand in front of her eyes, the other hand still tightly gripping something.<br><br>&nbsp;"Ok whatever, I'm getting you some water." He retorted, waving his hands dismissively and getting up from the booth leaving her there white knuckled and wincing. She dropped the <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">charm</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://images.prod.meredith.com/product/d2182c46c390e222626b9f731ebc71a0/1510092645440/l/14k-yellow-gold-horse-charm-pendant-womens)</div></div>, causing it to clatter on the table and put her other hand on her head, groaning deeply. A moment later the bartender set the water down in front of her and sauntered off, tending to the other customer at the bar. Rose closed her eyes tightly, opened them, and then did that again several times, attempting to clear her vision. When she was finally able to see somewhat, her focus landed on the charm. She narrowed her eyebrows at it and slowly picked it up in her fingers, discovering it had less weight than she thought it would. Rose glanced at the bartender for a second before downing the water and then promptly leaving, shoving the charm in her pocket and putting her hand up as a shade from the sun. She was going to go home and sleep until her migraine was gone, then she would figure out exactly <em>what</em> happened to her yesterday.

Stepping in, her hazel eyes turned towards the mirror… and Reseda shrieked. Throwing herself backwards against the wall, the woman blinked at the stranger in the mirror—her reflection—with wide, disbelieving eyes. Just… what had she become? The reflection she saw was no longer that of a girl with brown hair and an olive complexion. No… what stared at her in the mirror was something different, something <em>more</em>. What were once mousey brown locks tied back in a messy ponytail, was replaced with longer silver-white tresses that fell around her in waves. Hazel eyes were bluer than before with flecks of silver in them, and her olive skin was much more pale, as if she had never been in the sun before. Her ears were swapped out for elongated blue, translucent fish fin looking things, too. Yet, the biggest change was that there were now markings on her face. Upon her forehead was a blue streak that looked like a tattoo. Panic surged within her as she reached up a hand to touch it, eyes wide with wonder and fear as she rubbed the blue line… but it stayed. Her ears filled with the panicked beating of her heart as she tried once more, finding it irremovable. In the middle of her forehead was a sign, one that she knew of from the everyday newspaper, and her own research. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It was the sign of Pisces. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;But why? The question swirled around in her head, making her dizzy. What possible reason could this change have come about? What could she not remember? Her head throbbed as she tried to recall, the memory not able to be brought to the forefront of her mind. Instead, more pain jolted through her and she let out a weak moan. Her throat felt dry once more, so she turned towards the tub. A bath would help her calm down and clear her mind enough to think, so she turned the knob to the hot water and plugged the drain. If anything, she could at least try to wash it off, right?&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;At least, that’s what she hoped. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Reseda waited as the bathtub filled up with water before she started to strip. She slipped off her sweater in seconds, cringing as her ears twinged in pain from the roughness and tossed it to the side. Reaching back, she unhooked her bra and releasing her breasts from the restraints when she felt her fingers brush over something… strange. Looking down, a sharp gasp escaped her as silver-blue hues found the source of the sensation. Right above her breasts on her chest were four, six inch blue slits in her skin with two on each side of her chest. She removed her bra as she traced her fingers over them and shuddered. They were more than just slits… they were <em>gills</em>. Her hands trembled. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“What… the hell?” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Her whisper was drowned out by the running water. She stopped it as the tub was full and finished stripping down to check herself over. There was indeed another change she had not noticed before and she ran her trembling fingers over them as well. Sapphire scales wrapped around her at the hips, blending to her skin. She tilted her head to the side, trying to think of something she might have been missing. The changes were truly out there and much different than they should have been. Hell, why did she even change at all? All she could remember was a voice calling for help… everything else was a blur. A blur of colors dissolving into darkness. Another exhale left her as she shook her head. Her vision swam for a moment before she finally climbed into the tub. In moments, Reseda felt her body relax. The warm water washed over her and she sunk further down, closing her eyes. There was little that she wanted to actually think about, so she let her mind drift and wander as she let herself relax. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Seconds bled away to minutes as she submerged herself beneath the water, half lidded and dazed. She felt immensely better, finding it easier to breathe as she made sure her chest and head were under the water, and finally opened her eyes when the sound of… bubbling caught her attention? Silver-blue hues blinked in surprise as she sat up, blinking down at the bathwater. Near her ankles, the bubbling intensified until a fin… no <em>two</em> popped out of the water. From no where, two fish swam around her. Panic left her lips in a piercing shriek as she pushed herself up and out of the bath, head spinning with the sudden lack of water. Where the hell had they come from?! Why? When?! Questions surged in her mind as she groped for the towel, only pausing for a moment when she heard a pounding at the door. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;At the door of the small abode, a figure stood silent as he raised a closed fist to knock. He was not sure what compelled him to this point, nor why, but he lowered the hand again. For the last five minutes he had been doing this, trying to work up the nerve to knock. The lights were on, the sounds of televised celebration muffled through the door, yet Kellan hesitated. He knew that <em>she</em> was in there, likely smiling away as if nothing was wrong, but his mother was in there too. The only family he had left was on the other side of that door, and quite honestly he needed a place to crash even if only for a night. He took a slow, long exhale before raising his fist again and drawing on what little resolve he had to knock on the door. A moment of silence passed before a familiar, warm voice called out to him. “Just a minute!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;As the door swung open, Kellan rubbed the back of his neck. “Hey ma’. Sup?” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Silence. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It was his only answer as his mother stared at him, wide eyed and open mouthed. He glanced over her shoulder to find the other one missing when Nadia gave a strangled gasp. “Oh no,” she whispered. “You too?” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan paused, “Wait… me, too? What are you talkin’ about Ma’?” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nadia peered out and around in the darkness, assuring that no one was watching before ushering Kellan in. He glanced around the familiar abode, his eyes falling on the television in the living room… to a discard book on the floor. Beside it were three glasses, one of which still had a quarter cup of water in it, and he tossed her a confused glance. “What happened in here?” Nadia sighed. Her expression was full of concern as she looked him over, then gesturing towards the bathroom. “Well, my son, there’s been a bit of a—” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“AAHHH!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Both Nadia and him jumped at the sudden shriek, before the elder woman was darting across the hall to the bathroom door. Smaller hands beat upon the door as she frantically called out. “Reseda?! Reseda are you alright?!” The door swung open as the younger woman stumbled out. “Fish!” she cried as she clung to her mother, the only cloth upon her body a cotton towel. “There’s two fish in the bathtub! I… I… I don’t know what is happening?!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan would have pulled the stranger away from his mother had the voice not been one he recognized. Rooted to his spot, he looked the woman over with a critical gaze. “What, have you finally lost it?” The sneer came out more of a growl than he had intended, but the way she so panickedly clung to <em>his</em> mother just put him in an even more foul mood. “There ain’t no way fish can get in the tub… and the fuck did you do to your hair?” He asked, glaring down at her as he pulled off his hood. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Silver-blue hues blinked up at him through the panic. She recognized his voice, but blinked at him in confusion. Had his appearance changed, too? The pale skin he once had was gone and replaced with that of a dark bronze, his blonde hair that he loved to dye different hues of blues and purples with pink highlights was replaced with a platinum white. And his eyes… his hazel eyes were no longer the hue that they shared. Instead, they were a piercing crimson. “K-Kellan?” The whisper left her as she looked him over. “Y-You…? Did… did you pass out, too?!” She straightened herself, taking care to keep herself covered with her towel. “At midnight! Did you pass out too?” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan hesitated, but he leveled a glare at her. “I…” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;From the bathroom, a voice called out, making all three jump. “He did,” it said as two sapphire fish swam through the air as if it were water as hovered in the doorway. “By the looks of him, he was visited like you.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“... Okay who hit me with a dose of meth?” Kellan said as he blinked at the fish. A chortle fluttered in the air, disoriented, as the two fish flipped in the air. “We are here to guide you,” the two voices said as the fish both turned towards Reseda. “And we must go meet the others, soon.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Others?” Kellan demanded. “And the hell are you guys talking abo—” A sensation from behind him brought him a pause. Turning, he saw the extra limb he had received in his own transformation. A large tail swayed behind him dangerously with a stinger at the end and he shouted. “Okay, what the actual fuck is going on?!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Nadia shook her head, “Your sister passed out at midnight, then her appearance changed… And you’ve come home looking different too. I have no idea.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; “Must go!” the voices called again. “We sense others already going! It is not safe here to stay!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Reseda shook her head, “Where? Where do you want us to go?” She looked down at herself helplessly, “Who are you?” <br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“We are guardians of Pisces,” one voice said. “She left us in your care,” said the other before it dipped back into the bathroom. Reseda frowned, “But—” The one returned with a familiar talisman in its mouth, depositing it in Reseda’s hand. “No buts! Use this! Go now!” It said. The other turned to Kellan and bobbed up and down. “Use the one on your ear to go!” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan tilted his head confused before reaching up for his ears. “What the…” He felt the new accessory and scowled. “No, get rid of this! These changes and… and—” He stopped as he remembered the voice that had screamed out at him, demanding for him to help. The cost of a wish. He turned his gaze to his mother who only nodded. “Mijos, you need to. Find out what is happening… together.” Hope shone in the elder woman’s eyes as she hugged her son. “It was good to see you. Try not to be gone too long this time.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan hesitated in his words, but his arms reached out and snaked around Nadia. He gave Reseda a stern glance before jerking his head towards the bathroom. If they were going to figure out what the hell was going on, then she needed to get dressed. She understood and carefully dipped into the bathroom before coming out to hug Nadia as well. “We’ll be back soon, Mama.” <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Close eyes,” one of the fish chirped. “Focus on Talisman!” said the other. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Doing as they were told, the siblings closed their eyes as they stood in the middle of the living room and focused on the talismans they were told to. Before they knew it, the sound of crashing waves reached them and they felt themselves pitch downwards. Two hard thuds later, the siblings found themselves on the shore of a… beach? They could see two people off in the distance, but could make out nothing of them. Instead, Kellan go up and pat the sand off of him. “What the fuck is this, Resse?!” His angry glare was focused on her as he looked around. There was nothing but the land or sea that he could locate and he groaned. “Great, now I’m stuck here with you. Why did I even go back?!” The elder sibling turned and kicked the sand as he shouted. Besides him, his sister looked around confused before lifting her arm. “I don’t know, but there are people over there…?” Kellan scoffed as he turned away from her and started to make his way over, his hands buried deep in his pockets. The two fish were currently nowhere to be found, but he would figure out what the hell this was one way or another. Reseda followed her brother, hot on his heels, as he made his way over. They were still quite the distance away, but Kellan raised his hands over his head. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;“Yo!” He screamed, hoping to be heard. “Can either of you tell us where we are?!” <br><br></td></tr></tbody></table>

The humans had all been transported to roughly five or even less miles between them, they would find themselves on a beach. The sands were a golden white,so clean and fresh, the water surrounding the isle was salt water that was astonishingly clear. When hunting for food the inhabitants would find a variety of bizzar and previously extinct breeds of fish lived in the shallows. Wander out I to deeper water however and they would find the water was darker, and there was hardly any life forms almost as if the animals knew there was something out there...something dangerous.<br><br>On the land the beach was about a mile wide perimeter which blended Into lush green grass and tall fruit trees unlike any found on any content. At first the tree line was thinking enough to wander through safely. If the inhabitants chose to look around they would find a lush clearing about ten miles into the forest with a large clear lake of drinkable water, the lake was surrounded by bright colourful flowers. Wildlife however on the island itself is not easy to find, in the more open areas there is little sign of anyone or anything else. Be careful when trying some of the low lying fruit and vegetables bushes, not everything is edible!<br><br>Beyond the line of brightly coloured flowers and clear water the forest got a lot thicker darker and more disturbing. Wildlife lives in abundance here but it is dangerous and nastier then any animals you see in the wilds. Should the inhabitants try to explore the forest at this point they will find the air restricting and the light univiting.<br><br>(https://imgc.allpostersimages.com/img/print/posters/gyula-gyukli-beautiul-sandy-beach-with-turqoise-se-water-and-blue-sky_a-G-14786835-14258383.jpg).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (https://daily.jstor.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Moving_Forest_1050_700.jpg).&nbsp; (https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1vdAZd7fb_uJkHFNRq6A3vpXaw.jpg).&nbsp; (https://media.cntraveler.com/photos/57ec02078300776b0f420a13/4:3/w_420,c_limit/haunted-forests-black-forest-germany-GettyImages-467120271.jpg).&nbsp; (http://dndspeak.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/d5c005c366794c6e6cb229788b5eadb0.jpg)<br><br>

He would have Danvers pick him up but she was the station medic and a worry wart beyond reason, because if his accident he was given the week off with didn't sit well with him but it was the procedure.&nbsp; He was about 20 mins from him when the smell of smoke hit him once more, he was pretty sure it was the driver but she wasn't smoking but her looking at him like he was hot made him wonder truly what was going on.&nbsp;

He looked at his bills as he was not responsible, as he knew he wasn't that clean but he was grateful for the cleaning service that did come in and take care of things.&nbsp; He was dress as if he were going to the station when he was overcome by a gust of heat out of nowhere.&nbsp; He went to check the thermostat as he liked it cool but it was set to 70, he was feeling hot as he took off his shirt and looked at it only to see it wasn't just a stain he was really on fire.&nbsp; He moved quickly to pull off the shirt but made it to the patio door to open it as he was moving quickly his pants were on fire as well, he knew the fastest way to get it all out was to jump into the pool.&nbsp;

He faked moved.&nbsp; He was sure he was going to get a good look today.&nbsp; He may not be in the top 32, but easily second-round draft pick after today.&nbsp; He was proud of himself but he still felt like he could do more.&nbsp; He winked at a couple of the cheerleaders that were having their own tryouts today a few even waved a bit more than they should have and he smiled.&nbsp; He gave the sign like 'call me'.&nbsp; He hadn't given them his phone number but around here that didn't matter, if they were interested they would find a way.&nbsp;

She stood keeping a cautious eye on the beast as it stood in the very shallows as if waiting for something..or someone. As the woman stood and looked around she began to notice how quiet and tranquil the place seemed, not a person...WAIT. Silvia's roaming eyes skittered back towards a figure slowly approaching her. The woman couldn't make out his features at first but as he got closer she noticed the flaming red hair and the tattoo on his arm. The man approached and Silvia could understand his hesitancy due to the large feline who's amber eyes also observed him. <br><br>The woman raised a hand in what she hoped was a welcome gesture and called out "Hello! Do you live here? Can you tell me where I am?" she asked hopefully. Deciding for now to ignore the feline, Silvia walked towards the stranger cautiously. She had no way of defending herself and could only hope he was friendly. Just then a small rumbling growl came from the tiger and Silvia froze. The creature, padded towards them and rubbing itself along Silvia's legs like a giant house cat and in the process getting her to turn her body slightly to the other end of the beach where she could now see two more figures running towards them.<br><br>There was a hell which was muffled by distance and again Silvia raised her hand and this time she gave it a little wave, it looked like she wasn't the only one to be brought here. Might as well wait till the others approached and introduce herself then. Absent mindedly she reached down and before Silvia even realized what she was doing the female was rubbing the great head of the tiger. Startled she drew back but the creature bumped her hand and gave her what could only be described as a grin. Relaxing the woman rubbed the animals fur again.<br><br>It was ludicrously soft but rough as well. Encouraged by the creatures calmness she would have gotten bolder if not a hell from behind her startled her <strong>What the hell?</strong>. Almost screaming in fright Silvia whirled and threw up her hands. Her only though had been to defend herself if at all possible what actually happens was a jet of blue flame exploded from her towards the unknown entity behind her. "Look out!" she cried automatically.

Standing before him is a woman blindfolded holding a scale up to her chest.&nbsp; Despite her mouth not moving at all Galen could swear he hears the word “help” carried around on the breeze which eludes his lungs despite his drastic need for oxygen.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>“You want help? Im all for being a good person, bit too close to passing out for that now though,” he opens his mouth to say but there is nothing to carry his voice to his mysterious visitor.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>The woman responds the Galen’s wordless plea for breath and holds her hands out for as if requesting Galen to do the same.&nbsp; He does so and air suddenly rushes into his lungs causing him to cough. While he catches his breath Galen notices the dark veil around him is beginning to flicker with light like an old movie projector.&nbsp; <br><br>The five silent displays each show a different type of destruction, Mushroom clouds, gunfire, plagues, mass graves, and fires fill Galen’s vision no matter where he turns his gaze.&nbsp; When he has had enough of this horrid show Galen turns back to the woman who’s previously neutral face now bore a slight frown as tears slowly dripped down from her blindfold.<br><br>“Count me in, I can’t have the world my sister loves going up in flames!” Galen clenches his fist and punches at the air, determined to prevent this dark future.<br><br>After hearing his declaration the woman removed her blindfold to reveal green eyes matching the platform beneath them.&nbsp; Instead of pupils there were images of the scale which floated before her.&nbsp; She wrapped the blind fold around Galen’s wrist as the same scale symbol appeared on the back of his hand. While Galen watches the emblem appear on his hand the woman before him vanishes on the light breeze which finally embraced Galen’s lungs, leaving a feeling of the words “Find your balance” floating past his ears.<br><br>Galen closed his eyes to make his first new years resolution in years as he was brought back to the beach where he was just moments ago.&nbsp; He must have missed midnight as to him he had spent hours in that cube watching the world burn before his eyes, but in the distance he heard the cheers as their countdown hit zero.&nbsp; Just a few seconds behind his sister Galen took up his pose again but this time he let go of more than the old year, and took hold of something far beyond the reins of a new year.<br><br>Somewhere deep down Galen had the feeling that Alyssa knew that he had missed the timing and knowing her she would be fuming over it till the next time they spoke.&nbsp; To prevent pressure from building causing her to go ballistic he figures it would be best to go back to his apartment and call her.<br><br>As soon as he arrives at his apartment building Galen notices that his head is higher than the door way, which is not the norm for an average height man such as Galen.&nbsp; He looks down and sees that he is standing on another glowing green circle.&nbsp; He sighs and pulls out his phone, texting Alyssa “Hey, sorry I was a few seconds late on our new years thing.&nbsp; My ride’s here so gotta go, happy new year sis!” When he hits send Galen sits down ready to nearly pass out this time.&nbsp; The lack of oxygen did eventually come, but from a more natural means as the platform begins to hurtle over the ocean.&nbsp; <br><br>“This is not what I expe-“ Galen yells then shut up as he realizes how dumb of a use of oxygen talking is.<br><br>The fog eventually rolls back in sending Galen and his magical ‘vehicle’ back to the dark void where he met the scale lady.&nbsp; This time his stay is much shorter and without visitors as he is kicked out into what seems to be the real world again but without the circle so he goes sailing through the air a few feet above a sandy shore and eventually faceplants on a strange island.<br>

She was submerged in total darkness, far beneath the surface of the ocean. She could not see. She could not hear, for she was alone. She could breathe, though.<br><br><em>"I can breathe,"</em> Uvu thought. She felt the large gills near her neck that creased down towards her chest, presumably connected to her lungs or circulatory system. Something shifted in the the water near her. She flinched in sudden fright. Whatever it was, it meant she was not alone in this abyss. Something soft and hard nudged her. <br><br>She squeled and tried flapping away in the water. It nudged her again. She reached out to keep it from bumping into her. Maybe she could push it away. <br><br>Uvu prayed this creature was harmless. When she pressed her hand against it, she felt something smooth protruding from it's...fur? It seemed to sit still and hung in the water for a moment. She felt around it's protrusion and realized she was feeling its face and head. It wasn't anything like what she would have expected to find underwater. It felt like a horse or dog. Definitely a mammal. The protrusion...was a horn...two of them actually.<br><br>A deer? The creature bent forward and prodded Uvu again. She didn't freak out as much this time. It seemed to try wrapping a leg around her. She reached out to that and realized this creature's body was large. Maybe the size of a truck, based on length of the leg and the size of the head. It began to move and she was being pushed forward by it. <br><br>It clicked for her: It was trying to move her. Uvu grabbed onto it as it swam. When she did so, the creature must have realized she was letting it take her wherever it was taking her because it quickly began accelerating in the water. Something shocked Uvu further: it was moving bizaarely. It wasn't swimming like it had four thin legs. It was swaying like a shark or a whale. She felt around with her feet and sure enough there was a huge aquatic tail where hind legs were expected to be. <br><br><em>"What is this?!"</em> She puzzled.<br><br>Light began to enter her field of vision. She realized they were moving upward towards the surface. A feeling of joy and relief entered her heart and mind as she realized the creature was truly guiding her. They crashed the surface and the sun kissed their freshly exposed heads and shoulders in greeting. The creature cood with excitement. Uvu got her bearings and saw the beach just ahead of them. She looked to her guide and remembered the spirit. This was that spirit. <br><br><em>"It's you,"</em> She said in awe. The creature turned around around and licked her a couple times on the cheek, seemingly in response. The creature swam them to the shore. Uvu rode in thoughtful silence. <br><br>Something had brought her hear. She wondered why. What was she meant to do? <br><br>When they reached the shore they began walking out of the water. Well, in the creature's case this was a combination of walking on its front two legs and slithering with its large fish tail. Just outside of the ocean, it stopped abruptly. Uvu turned to it, realizing it had stopped and was looking directly at her. She went back to it and bent down in front of the creature. <br><div class="floatright">(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/92d5fe76-1655-4235-bf20-e250de1bb600/d5os8zb-da4f9cac-9bdf-4fe1-bb42-e7ce3aa45223.jpg/v1/fill/w_774,h_1032,q_70,strp/capricorn_by_mattbarley_d5os8zb-pre.jpg)</div><em>"I suppose you lead me to where I need to be...but why?"</em> She questioned.<br><br>The creature seemed to look away in thought to the island they came to. It looked back to Uvu. It bent its head slowly and gently against her head. <br><br>A swell of mystical essence then wrapped around Uvu and the creature faded away. the essence glowed and sank into Uvu's body. She swung her head back and gasped. A flood of ideas and power entered her mind and body as the spirit fused with her.&nbsp; <br><br><strong><em>Capricorn</em></strong><br><br>She knew why she was there. She rose from the sand looked towards the trees. There was work to be done, and time was running short.<br><br>

She stood keeping a cautious eye on the beast as it stood in the very shallows as if waiting for something..or someone. As the woman stood and looked around she began to notice how quiet and tranquil the place seemed, not a person...WAIT. Silvia's roaming eyes skittered back towards a figure slowly approaching her. The woman couldn't make out his features at first but as he got closer she noticed the flaming red hair and the tattoo on his arm. The man approached and Silvia could understand his hesitancy due to the large feline who's amber eyes also observed him. <br><br>The woman raised a hand in what she hoped was a welcome gesture and called out "Hello! Do you live here? Can you tell me where I am?" she asked hopefully. Deciding for now to ignore the feline, Silvia walked towards the stranger cautiously. She had no way of defending herself and could only hope he was friendly. Just then a small rumbling growl came from the tiger and Silvia froze. The creature, padded towards them and rubbing itself along Silvia's legs like a giant house cat and in the process getting her to turn her body slightly to the other end of the beach where she could now see two more figures running towards them.<br><br>There was a hell which was muffled by distance and again Silvia raised her hand and this time she gave it a little wave, it looked like she wasn't the only one to be brought here. Might as well wait till the others approached and introduce herself then. Absent mindedly she reached down and before Silvia even realized what she was doing the female was rubbing the great head of the tiger. Startled she drew back but the creature bumped her hand and gave her what could only be described as a grin. Relaxing the woman rubbed the animals fur again.<br><br>It was ludicrously soft but rough as well. Encouraged by the creatures calmness she would have gotten bolder if not a hell from behind her startled her <strong>What the hell?</strong>. Almost screaming in fright Silvia whirled and threw up her hands. Her only though had been to defend herself if at all possible what actually happens was a jet of blue flame exploded from her towards the unknown entity behind her.

Visions of floating islands and beings of incredible power. All talking then seeming to fade away. The islands left bare. Something about them made him anxious. Made him feel like he had to be there. Something told him that he needed to get there if he was to make his mark on history. This was where he could be known, and where he could make his name.&nbsp; That was what he felt anyway. He looked down at his hands. The amount of abrasions they had suffered needlessly to come into crystal clear focus. He sighed. This was the path he had chosen.&nbsp; Now he needed to make his way back to the rooftop. He still had a fight to get to.&nbsp; He ran to the outside of the hospital ignoring the nurse that told him he had to sign himself out. <br><br>He hailed the first cab that he could and gave them the address to the Playpen. If he was quick he could get there and still fight. He tossed a hundred AUD at the cab driver and closed his eyes. He smiled as he let the anticipation of the fight build in his system. The adrenaline began to flow into his system. There it was that feeling. Suddenly he felt different, like was was being pulled trough a wormhole his body stretching his hands and feet began itching. The feeling spread throughout his entire body. Then suddenly he was laying on his back. He looked up into a sky. He growled and sat up looking around. What the hell was this? He had been in the back of a cab. He stood and stretched. While pulling his arm across his chest he noticed something weird. He had a tattoo?

There was a sense of weight to the air as the newcomers arrived that suggested that the island was waiting. Down deep towards the center of the very earth itself something shifted and a mind became active. It became aware of the arrival of the guardians of the very Earth itself and it needed to let itself be known. It floated from its resting place deep with in the earth crust, hovering above a bed of molten lava and floated upwards, as it gained speed and also began to cool it also took shape.<br><br>By the time the entity burst from the ground it was a great golden dragon. It rocketed into the sky and a wing span beyond compare effortlessly opened. The dragon cruised above the isle, it's gaze upon the earth. It's snap eye soon picking up the small group forming on the beach. It also noticed the solo human shape a little more inland then the others. Wings folded and plummeted like a speeding bullet towards the ground. The size of the wings and the body on the creature should have made such a drop impossible but this was not a normal creature it was pure magic and it was knowledge.<br><br>Wings opened with a whoosh, gallons extended and <strong>Spencer</strong> would find himself plucked effortlessly from the ground. Wings beat against the air, trees were battled under the onslaught as the dragon flew towards the rest of the party. With great concern greetings the dragon dropped down near the group of humans. Dropping Spencer to join the rest the dragon then landed before them and looked around it seemed to be looking for something, or someone. Where is Capricorn? the dragon didn't speak as such but each other humans could here it's voice rebounding in their minds.

New Years Day. 2000.<br><strong>Location:</strong> The Island<br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Everyone<br><hr></td></tr></tbody></table><br><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;When Reseda had reached the group with her brother, there was a commotion. The woman had a tiger besides her, a strange occurrence in itself, but when someone emerged from the waters, the woman shouted and turned, fire erupting from her hands. Beside her, there was the man she had thrown the fire at, and then a few others. She took a step closer to her brother, fearful of the large feline that lingered there. Then, something shot out from the island's main land. A large dragon, golden in color, broke from the trees and deposited a male near their group. Blinking, the new bearer of Pisces tilted her head as she watched him, lifting her arms up to cover her face against the harsh, whipping winds. Seconds bled into the dragon's words as he addressed them, stating their reasons for being here. Reseda reached up to touch the symbol upon her forehead as the dragon asked for questions <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"S-So... that means..." Aqua hues moved up to the dragon as she lifted her head. "That Pisces chose me...? But why? And what abilities?" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"This is bullshit!" Kellan spat from beside her and Reseda flinched as her brother turned towards the dragon. "Either we're all having one huge meth dream or I've finally gone crazy. Abilities? Being avatars? I don't know about anyone else here, but I'm just Kellan, and I want this—" He pointed at his tail. "Gone!" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "Cannot!" A familiar distorted voice called from behind Reseda. "Show respect. You have been chosen. You must fulfill the role you were chosen for or you will stay as you are." <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Kellan whipped around to look at the two fish as she floated to <del>his sister's</del> Reseda's side. She was still that stupidly meek woman, it seemed, for she did not even attempt to reject the idea. Did she not want to go back? The fuck was wrong with her? Kellan gave a harsh snort. <em>What isn't wrong with her?</em> he finished the thought as he huffed. "So what? These spirits or whatever chose us at random? Then why me?" He pointed to Reseda. "Why <em>her?</em>" The fish tried to answer him, but Kellan's hand snaked out with a surprising quickness as he gripped Reseda's upper arm and tugged. "Is this a spirit's idea of funny?" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; At first, Reseda averted her gaze to the sand as her brother tugged her over, not wanting to fight with him. However, there was a strange sensation that rushed through her as he gripped her. At first it was just the sense of feeling something <em>wrong</em>, but within seconds of him continuing his rant, Reseda let out a strangled gasp. Her airways seemed to struggle with each breath she took, her aqua blue eyes widening as she gripped at her throat with her right hand, tapping her brother's chest with the arm her held. "K-Kel...lan?" Her voice was strained, and she turned to look at him she she noticed the spot he held her at. His fingers left behind a harsh purple residue upon her flesh and she struggled until she wrenched herself from him, falling onto the sand. <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan staggered at the sudden motion as Reseda hit at him until she freed herself, collapsing to the ground. "Ow! What the fuck Res—" The fish separated as one stopped him from continuing by spitting water in his face as the other drifted down to the collapsed girl. "Ack! The hell?!" Kellan spluttered as he wiped at his face. "Caution! Your anger! It hurts!" The fish practically screamed into the air as Reseda gasped. "You are Scorpio. Poisonous waters." Reseda trembled. "C-Can't... breathe..." Kellan blinked at the fish, but his eyes widened when Reseda gasped aloud once more. Had... had he done that? His own eyes fell onto where he had grabbed her. At first it looked like a bruise, but... it wasn't. As the fish swirled around her, he could see the purple splotch on her arm was actually much worse than a bruise. He... he had poisoned her? Kellan took two steps back as he stared at her wide eyed. "I... I didn't..." <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>I didn't mean to.</em><br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Reseda shook her head as she tried to focus, a hard shiver rushing down her spine. The few seconds that he had held her was not enough to completely tear her apart from the inside out, but it had hurt. Reseda forced herself to breathe, slow and steady, as the fish that counted as her... companions? Guardians? Whatever they were started to swirl around her. The same voices reached her as some water splashed down onto her. "You are Pisces; the healing waters. Scorpio's poison bad for you!" She heard, but as the water coated her, she began to feel better. The fish bobbed in the air as they deemed the Pisces avatar fine and bobbed their heads to the dragon in respect. "Rest and water. Feel better." The second voice seemed to whisper to her, and Reseda nodded as she looked back up to the dragon, refusing to meet Kellan's gaze. "If we stay, we will learn how to control these abilities? Are you to be our teacher?" <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Kellan blinked in surprise at the spectacle as the fish seemed to summon some water and dumped it onto Reseda, the purple splotch slowly beginning to lighten. He exhaled a long breath he had been holding in, and forced himself to swallow as he looked down at his hands. What... what the hell had be become? A scoff of disbelief left him as Reseda asked her question of the dragon, seeming to force herself through whatever he had done to her to ask it. Fearful of touching anyone else, Kellan stuffed his hands into his pockets. "How... How do we figure out these... abilities?" Was the question that left him. "I... I didn't mean to do that," he said, jerking his head in Reseda's direction. "I didn't think... I didn't know..." <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;"Its okay..." He heard the soft whisper come from the white haired woman as she pushed herself up onto her feet. "I'm okay," she repeated. "But I agree, what abilities do we have? How do we know what abilities we have? And... What is it we're here to do, exactly? What are we supposedly... supposed to defend against?"<br><br></td></tr></tbody></table>

That we have abilities. I mean the freak show specimens I could see maybe, but what am I doing here? I can punch and kick, but I am no where near qualified for this.&nbsp; Why did you choose me?” &nbsp;He was either going to get roasted by a dragon, or killed by the others that showed up.&nbsp; Then again if he didn’t get an answer he would be buggered for the rest of whatever time he had left anyway.&nbsp; <br>This was the place where ones mettle would be tested….Staring down a dragon and talking to the thing like it wasn’t a giant mythological beast who could swallow him whole and not even worry about him getting stuck in its throat.

(Say You).&nbsp; <br><br>He looked to the others, seems this was….Capricorn?<br><br>The dragon laughed. &nbsp;“Your abilities are water Pisces..you will learn to wield those abilities young one.” &nbsp;He said then he turned to the male, with a raised eyebrow.&nbsp; He did his best not to laugh but the words seemed to come from his drake lips in a choke.&nbsp; “Do you not hear well?&nbsp; You will train to wield YOUR abilities so you will learn to control the tail.&nbsp; Hence why you were brought here, it will be difficult to hide your identity with a six-foot tail coming from your body is it not?” &nbsp;The dragon said already knowing the answer but hoping to break through the fog of the boy’s mind.<br><br>“Another reason for you to train young one!&nbsp; Your abilities are for you to be more and better than what you are not to just control any situation to suit your whim or your needs!”&nbsp; The dragon said wanting to step in and as he saw both Rabbit and Aries move to step forward towards the one called Kellan as well, but it was for the female to defend herself and he two fish defended her.<br><br>“I will be a teacher…but it is best for you all to learn from each other.&nbsp; Sometimes having a head teacher doesn’t do as good as learning from one’s peers."

				<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/7KFgFsc.jpg)</div><strong>Name </strong> Ora (Aquarius)<br><strong>Time/ Day</strong> January 1st, 2000<br><strong>Location</strong> The Island (Beach)<br><strong>Tagging</strong> Anyone/Everyone/Dragon<br><hr><br>It took a while to convince herself that the shaking had stopped and that the roaring sound she heard was not the sound of a plummeting airplane but was in fact waves crashing against a shoreline. Peeking out between delicate fingers she saw the white sandy beach and the ocean beyond. Pulling her hands away from her face altogether she twisted on her ass to see behind her where grew a thick, lush forest. This was indeed a beautiful place the pig (because who else but the pig) had brought her to.<br><br>Ora’s heart was beginning to slow down to a normal rate, the salty breeze a balm to her helping her to relax. Her stomach growled but she ignored it. In the distance she spotted a motley group of entities that did not make sense to her eyes. There were seven present not including the tiger and oh fuck...are those fish? Either way they seemed peaceful enough, no one was yelling at each other at least and she needed friends to understand what was happening exactly.<br><br>Pearl white grains of sand clung to Ora’s form fitting, knee-length black skirt as she slowly stood up, the heels of her pumps sinking into the shore which she quickly slipped off and dangled from her hand as she started to walk towards the gathering, her bleached white, long sleeve blouse almost blinding in the sun, she forgot she was still wearing her name tag and little black hat which was pinned to her dark hair which was slicked back into a thick bun. <br><br>A loud strange sound was heard from above causing Ora to stop in her tracks as overhead an actual dragon flew through the sky. Ora stood there, mouth gaping and eyes as wide as saucers as the behemoth landed dropping a tense and jumpy man from its jaws. Feeling a little fearless she decided to continue towards the group, after all the dragon was apparently in the delivery business and not in the eating people business (at least at the moment). Now there were seven people, eight including herself.<br><br>She barely took three steps when the dragon spoke in her head. Capricorn? Thank God She was Aquarius. She giggled to herself as she continued finally reaching the group, keeping her distance from the tiger. The dragon was addressing the whole group and she was pretty sure it was rude to ignore a dragon when he was speaking so she listened intently as her eyes scanned her “team members”. <br><br>As she listened to the dragon the truth of her new reality sank in and she suddenly felt a tremendous responsibility drop onto her shoulders and instantaneously she wanted a drink, something she hadn’t craved in years. It scared her and she was glad that it did since that fear would keep her safe. <br><br>Her thoughts became fragmented as fish girl spoke up in a sweet, meek voice only for her concerns to be overtaken by her brothers demands. Ora’s neck began the process of turning her head to witness what the dragon would do but once again was distracted by the strange looking couple as they quarreled. It was quite the scene and as badly as Ora wanted to intervene, especially after the scorpion boy grabbed the arm of fish girl, she forced herself to watch the event unfold. The poisoning and the healing of the fish...It was quite spectacular.<br><br>Just then the built redhead to her left started to curse at the dragon. He didn’t seem happy at all but he brought up a good point...why is? What was so special about her?<br><br>Her attention was once again cast over the dragon as he explained further what they were meant to accomplish on the island. She thought back to her powers and how miserably she had failed to impress herself and frowned. Ora was trying to whole-heartedly embrace the role of hero after all, she had seen the images herself and she did not want that kind of suffering for humanity. But doubt was an insidious thing and Ora truly doubted her worthiness of being charged with such a mission. <br><br>Stomach growling again, she pushed all doubt aside for the moment and raised her hand waiting to be called on by the dragon so that she could ask a pertinent question. If called on she would ask simply...<strong>”Oh ancient one...is there a beach bar somewhere we can get some food before we start training? Maybe a place to change clothes?”</strong>

His life had been ruined. All the hard work that he had put into his fighting career was gone. He had been taken from the one fight that had meant so much to him over the past few years. Zarik looked up the dragon anger overriding sense. &nbsp;“Your loss dragon. Kill me and you must champion another, and by the sounds of it you don’t have that kind of time. So kill me, or don’t, not my problem. But give me a straight answer. The visions, were they things to come? If so how long. Why were we selected? What was it that made us the chosen? How long do we have till we are going be be thrust into risking our lives for a planet that wouldn’t want our help in the first place?” <br><br>Zarik stood defiant against the dragon. His words were much stronger than his constitution at the moment. If someone would look into his eyes they would see nothing but anger and fear reflected back at them. This didn’t stop the man from locking eyes with the dragon and awaiting a response. As he stood there his hands and feet began to grow warmer, and began to itch. <em> “What the fuck was this? Was it the Dragon?”</em> His mind asked the question he would refuse to voice. Even if it was the dragon he wasn’t going to give in. He stood there arms crossed defiantly looking at the beast before him. Had he bothered to look down at his hands he would have seen the warms he had felt was actually flames licking along his hands and about halfway back his forearms. His legs would also be wreathed in flames all the way to his knee. While his shoes had melted off, his shorts were undamaged by the flames. Everywhere the flames touched his skin had changed to what looked like vibrant red scales shimmering in the fire. His fingers seemed to grow claws, as did his feet.&nbsp; So set on questioning the dragon, he never looked down to notice.

Especially since the fireworks were going off behind him, drowning out his yells for a rat to stop. Instead, it scurried up a pipe and into a dumpster, man quickly jumping into it...<br><br>Only to land in sand.<br><br>He stayed in his crouched landing position, confused at the sudden whiplash of scenery. The gentle rustle of ocean waves, the salty air that he'd never smelled before, and up above, a talking dragon. "What?" was his soft question, covering his mouth and slowly sitting on the sand. What was happening? Was this Y2K? Was it something in the air? Had he missed his jump and went forehead first onto the metal lip of the dumpster? No no no, he had to get out, scrambling to his feet and looking, seeing people both to the left and right of him. Help? He wasn't sure, ears twitching as he tried to find a solution. Looking up, hoping to see some sort of window to the world he knew, but it was just the dragon, talking to someone with bright red hair. <br><br>Connor wanted to cry, giving another spin around only to give an anguished shriek as something touched his legs, falling again and trying to back up from the snake, only to realize it was following him, and it was tugging and rubbing right above the back of his pants. <em>What????</em> Keeping his tears in best he could, he touched the naked tail, seeing the finest of hairs on it, before getting up and following where it lead to his back. A muffled whine, holding it as he looked back at the dragon and people, shakily raising his hand, other still holding the tail between his legs "C-Can I, refuse?" Don't cry, don't cry, he was trying so hard not to cry and not to look at any of the others around him for fear of their judgement.<br><br><hr><br><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/GihKG2L.png)</div><strong>Name </strong> &nbsp;Connor Ghim &nbsp;(https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=300764.msg14837477#msg14837477)<br><strong>Time/ Day</strong> 1 January 2000<br><strong>Location</strong> mystic island<br><strong>Tagging</strong> Everyone<br><hr><br>Shivani's New Years was spent at a center for the homeless, trying to bring a little bit of cheer to the children and adults of the center, lighting sparklers on the roof. They were moments away from the ball dropping, everyone around them already counting down. "Let me go get more." Was her call to the other volunteer soon moving downstairs, away from the noise and the cheering. Thankfully the home had moved the sparklers to the 2nd level, woman hefting the box up and working her way back to the roof. She had to admit, she wasn't really built for strength, hearing the roar of the people as the ball hit, fireworks going off all around, and when the door was opened, she was staring at the wall of some other building. Curious, Shivani blinking and backing up, closing the door again, and waiting.<br><br>This wasn't the stairwell, eyeing the new, nicer walls, crabs painted all along the door frame. <br><br>Hefting the box to one arm, she opened the door again, looking across at a door with a sign she wasn't too familiar with. Looked like a weird N. Well, she decided to find the owner of the home, or some answers, quickly following the hallway down to the main room, which conveniently held the door out. "Talk about lucky." The steps were nice, air fresh, and a voice talking to someone, and it sounded like it was demanding authority. Foliage gave way to rocks, and rocks to sand, worn sneakers stepping onto the loose ground and looking at the back of a dragon. She could see the beginnings of people on the other side of him.<br><br>"I think I missed most of that, could you repeat that again? I didn't mean to come late to the party, but I brought things for the festivities." Whatever those may be. This was an eclectic group of people, staring at the crying man for a moment before moving on to the others.
