what happend with raven??

Phoenix looks over at the sleeping Raven in his guest bed. "He's been out cold with a fever ever since he got caught put in the rain. Though I think half of it is pure exhaustion." He said and dabbed Raven's head with a damp cloth. "Norma...?" Raven mutters in his sleep before settling back into a deep slumber.

You know what's kinda funny? People on tumblr have been talking about the Once-ler fandom returning now in 2015 and some Once-ler blogs have been returning this last month. You sorta "on time" with coming back here. Xp Also, I'm so happy to see you back. ^w^

((I'm glad to be back! As if I'd be able to stay away from my gay babies for long! ^w^ As for the Onceler fandom returning it just kind of a happy coincidence. I was always planning on coming back to this blog at the same time I finished the first chapter of the AU fic and it just happened that the fandom decided to revive itself. Still I just hope this "revival" of the fandom doesn't fall apart like it did last time and for the most part I'm just looking to forward to seeing where this entire thing is going

((An apology to all my followers

I want to say sorry to everyone that still follows me that I haven't been on that often. I've had some serious problems in school that were giving me troubles and I have recently taken on to working full time so it has left me away from the computer a lot. But things seem to be looking up a little now and I never had any intention of leaving this blog for good! I can't say I'll be the most consistent blog out there and my updates will be extremely sporadic. Especially since my job is about to start having me pull double shifts for a 3 month long zoo event (did I mention I got a job at a zoo?). Anyway I'm sorry it's been so long since I've talked to anyone and for all the threads that got dropped because of it. So to all of you out there who have remained following this little blog of mine: Thank you! And I hope that you are willing to roleplay with me again despite my long absence.

I Feel it Like a Ghost Chapter 1

Summary: Phoenix was living a happy life guarding the forest with his husband Greedy. They had just finished building their new home together in the heart of the forest when strange things begins to happen. A ghost has appeared and claims to seek revenge against the one who wronged him. Why does this ghost seem so familiar? And will they be able to escape his clutches? Find out under the tab! ((Based heavily on the Mystery Skulls- Ghost music video! Seriously if you haven’t seen it, you should. It’s a beautiful work of animation.

Phoenix sighed as he made his way through the forest with his husband, Greedy, as they did their daily survey of the forest. The day was drearier than usual. Dark storm clouds loomed ominously overhead making them eye the skies every so often praying that the rain didn’t come until they were back at home.He cursed softly to himself when he felt a tiny rain drop land on his nose. “Looks like we should find some shelter before the storm hits.” He sighed and grabbed Greedy’s hand and started pulling him quickly in the direction he hoped there would be shelter.

Greedy allowed himself to be pulled along by his husband. “You sure there’s shelter this way birdie? Last time I remember being this way there wasn’t so much as a thick grouping of trees down this way let alone a place to wait out the storm.” And he was right on that point. They were on the very outskirts of the forest and trees were very far and few between. The chances of them being able to find shelter were very slim.

"Then what would be your plan then?" Phoenix shot back at him grumpily. Being part fire bird, he hated being wet for any reason. He barely tolerated it long enough to shower. The thought of spending a prolonged period of time out in the rain sent shudders down his spine. "If we don’t find shelter soon we will have to spend who knows how long running back home in the rain."

"I’m just stating the facts here. If you haven’t noticed, the thought of being cold and wet isn’t very appealing to me either." Greedy huffed at Phoenix, not appreciating his scathing tone. He hated being out in the cold and rain as much as Phoenix did due to being part reptile.

Phoenix opened his mouth to continue on what would likely spur a long day of arguments when he felt a noticeable shift in the air around them. But it had nothing to do with the impending storm. The trees around them looked sickly and twisted. The grass was black and crunched underneath their feet despite the light drizzle that was coming from the sky.

Phoenix looked around curiously at this seemingly new section of the forest, his worry over the rain vanishing instantly. He had been to every far off corner of this forest but he had never seen trees that looked like these before. He shot a worried look back at Greedy. “What is this place? This can’t be our forest.”

"Your guess is as good as mine bird brain." He replied as he walked to stand next to Phoenix. "There is definitely something of about this place though." Just as he said that a large crack of lightning lit up the sky and the slight drizzle turned into a torrential downpour.

"FUCK!" Phoenix shouted angrily and started moving deeper into the tainted woods with Greedy following close behind. "Right now I don’t care where these trees came from! Let’s just find a place to get out of this rain!" He borderline whined while taking off his coat to use a makeshift umbrella.

Greedy followed suit with his own jacket and squinted through the rain praying to seeing some form of shelter. He grinned when he began to make out the outline of a building in the distance. Finally a way out of this rain! “I think I see someplace! Come on birdie!!” He shouted over the downpour of rain and grabbed Phoenix’s hand and dragged him in the direction of the building.

The closer they got the more it took shape. It looked to be some large twisting mansion with spindly towers that took an ominous look of horns in the flashes of lightning. Any hesitation they might of had was dashed as the rain began to pour down even harder and lightning crashed down dangerously close by. They rushed to take cover under the small overhang over the front door.

Phoenix looked at Greedy questioningly. “Do you think there is anyone is home?” He asked him worriedly. Half of him hoped that there was no one in this mansion. There was something about this place that gave him the creeps. He knew regardless that he and Greedy could take on any threat. But he hated using his powers as against someone unless it was 100% necessary.

Before Greedy could open his mouth to respond, the large front doors swung in ominously on their own accord. “… Guess that answers that question.” He shrugged off and stepped into the mansion. “Now come on, I’m freezing my ass off out here!”

Phoenix took one final look at the raging typhoon outside before decided that he’d much rather face whatever was in this creepy house than go back out in the storm. Once he had stepped through the doors, they slammed shut behind him with a loud bang making them both jump. “What the hell was that!!”

"Relax birdie! I’m sure it was just the wind, ya big scaredy cat!" He laughed patting him on the back. "But if you’re too scared of this spoooky house, you’re more than welcome to cuddle close to me. Ill protect you from the big bad ghosties!”

Phoenix punched him lightly on the arm while blushing in embarrassment. “You’re terrible. Just for that, I’m not gonna use my powers to dry you off.” To emphasize this fact, he called forth his flames to give himself quick blow dry.

Greedy opened his mouth to complain about how unfair that was, when a ground shaking roar shook the windows of the mansion and caused the lights to go out. "Get Out!" A Voice boomed through the house.

They both screamed and hugged each other close for comfort. The only source of light for the two was Phoenix’s brightly glowing wings.”I repeat: What the hell was that?!” Phoenix shrieked as he clutched Greedy like a lifeline.

"I-It’s probably just l-lightning that struck the house and took out the power lines." He said shakily not wanting to admit to even himself that he was scared.

"Get out!!!” The voice boomed again making them scream once more.

Phoenix shrieked when he felt some form of rope wrap around his ankle and forcibly tore him from Greedy. “Get off me!!” He screamed as he shot a fireball at whatever was pulling him. The fireball hit its mark and made whatever was holding him to retreat with a pained squeal. Phoenix jumped to his feet and shot a large fireball into the air to illuminate the room to see what had attacked him. The bright light revealed his attacker to be a large mass of vines that were beginning to make a second round of attacks at them. Phoenix immediately ran  towards the font door while grabbing the frozen Greedy's arm along the way. They both tugged on the door with all their strength but it didn't budge an inch. It was as of the door had become a part of the wall.

As they desperately tried to get the door open escape this house of horrors the strange tentacles came back with a vengeance. Greedy growled angrily as he felt something try to wrap around his arms and legs. He clawed and pulled at the tentacle- like vines, but whenever he managed to pull of one it seemed like two more took its place."What the hell are these things?!" Greedy roared angrily in frustration. He was soon completely wrapped in vines and was being dragged off into the darkness.

"Greedy!!" Phoenix yelled out in a panic and flew after him trying to pull him out of the vines grasp. However before he could reach him, his wings were grabbed from the same unknown source. "Let me go!! Greedy!!!!"

"Run Phoenix!!" Greedy screamed to him as he was dragged off to some unknown dark corner of the mansion.

"Gree-" Phoenix was cut off from screaming after him once more when another vine wrapped around his mouth and silenced his screams of protest. But something felt off about these vines. They felt more like a hand.

"It's alright my precious light..." A voice whispered in his ear as the hand dropped from hims mouth to pull him into a large body that seemed to materialize behind him. Phoenix spun in the arms to look into eyes glowing bright green like a flame set inside a skull. "... I've finally returned to you, Phoenix. And I promise I'll never let you go again." And then the world as Phoenix knew it went black.

*stares at him then looked at Phoenix before turning back to Raven, feeling a bit distressed* actually, I'm not....

Phoenix looked at Raven worriedly as he continued to rave on. "Norma , my darling, please.... I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!.... I've missed you so much! I-I promise we'll be together again my angel! I just have to be rid of this curse again... T-then we'll be together forever!

Raven's eyes blinked open and looked up at Dakota blearily. "N-Norma?" He asked hoarsely as he looked up with tear filled eyes. "You... You've come back!!" He cried with a heartfelt sob.

[ask-phoenix-ler-blog]

*nods* Uh huh! I always have one with me. Hang on a minute *she goes out of the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later, holding a potion bottle with blue liquid inside*

Phoenix took the bottle from her with a grateful smile. "Let's hope this will help." He said and turned back towards the barely conscious Raven. He shook Raven's shoulder causing him to look at him with fever-hazed eyes. "Here drink this. It'll help your fever." He said as he tilted the bottle to Raven's lips.Raven drank the potion without any fuss then fell asleep again.

"How long should it take for that potion to kick in?" He asked Dakota curiously.
