The Search Begins

“I said get off of me!”

It should have been like any other night at the tavern. Except it wasn’t. Tessa had dropped by to inquire if anyone had seen her brother. Troy had left Moss Island for some reason she did not know, involving heroics of some form. So in turn she had left Moss Island to find him.

Tessa had in the process stumbled upon the wrong sort, and Quinn hadn’t gotten the message to back off. When he grabbed her arm, she responded with a shout and a blast of silver magic throwing him into a wall.

Tessa paled suddenly, realizing what she’d done, moving to drop coins on the table for her drink. She tried to scurry out without notice, and then abruptly collided into Gwaine.

“Ah, Er, sorry, I’ve got to go-”

Getting to Know You

“Animal. Sort of. Thank you, Igraine.” Maldoon smiled gently at the young woman. He could be a good husband again. He just had to try. She deserved his best efforts to do so. He felt...awkward about their age difference. Hesitant about her lack of choice. He’d tried to offer her choice-she could remain home for a better suitor. Instead she’d accompanied him to Moss Island.

“Ah, not one of my twenty-well unless you want to count it, but, I’d prefer you didn’t,” Maldoon was sheepish as he spoke, “Favorite fruit?”

Time To Save a Life

It had been one hell of an event. It had been going great, really. Carrie was more beautiful then ever. He'd coaxed her into dancing and held her close. Troy had borrowed his uncle's old tuxedo. Tessa had even agreed to join them so they could score a table and scare off jerks and stupid heads. It least, that had been the idea.

Then there'd been the bucket of blood. And things had gone to hell fast. Troy had tried to reach out to Carrie, to go to her at the gym, but Tessa had pulled him down and used her ability. She lifted a shield to protect them from all the action, all the violence, and from any harm that would befall them. They got out before it collapsed, and then Troy had flown. He had to find Carrie, to talk to her, before-before she hurt herself.

Things had happened in the gym, sure, but everyone had a breaking pint. Thats all it was. Now he was running, flying, searching for her. He spotted her at the top of a building, and dropped onto the roof top behind her. "Carrie!" He cried out and began to step toward her, an arm outstretched toward her, "Its not your fault! Abilities like this-they take time to learn how to control! Come down from the ledge, we'll leave, we'll run, I'll help you, I promise!"

{text: twinsies} sorry, autocorrect {text: twinsies} i meant your gaurdian [Text: Future Mommy] Ooooh. [Text: Future Mommy] What sort of weaponry are you packing? [Text: Future Mommy] Wait, my guardian or his brother? {text: twinsies} what do you mean Tobias has a brother?

[Text: Future Mommy] Ah so it is Toby then.

[Text: Future Mommy] Um. Well. Yes.

[Text: Future Mommy] Sort of. Daphne and Tobias kind of disowned the rest of their family.

"I mentioned I was thirsty," Dana hiccuped behind her hand, giggling, her cheeks flushed with the feelings of being drunk. "I didn't know it was wine when I started...I've never..." She nearly fell off her stool, yelping as she balanced herself.

"Had the best tolerance for alcoholic drinks," her flush mingled with blush, "So not my brightest moment ever..."

Valentines

"Noble knight…"Gwaine said as he hesitated trying to decide how best to respond. Tessa didn’t know him well enough to realize the two of them actually would probably be a perfect fit.  He was not sure that was a good thing to put the two of them together… he didn’t really care though.   "Maybe noble, but I have been known to drink a bit too much, I am a bit of a hot head, and bad decisions are my specialty,"Gwaine smirked.    "I do find you to be beautiful and you have always been kind to me, plus, maidens are slightly overrated,"Gwaine smiled.

"Well-" Tessa bit her lip for a moment, contemplative, as she looked up at Gwaine. It wasn't fair when he smiled. She took a breath and looked up at him.

"You have me at a disadvantage. I came to you looking to ask your help...because of one of my horrible decisions. So...I accept. But only if you still want to be my Valentine after I ask you for help."

"I kind of...gathered a rag tag team of friends to go after my brother's killer. Which means I didn't go alone. But it went badly, Wren almost died, Tobias is traumatized by sealed memories, and my Shimmer Stone was taken."

"Fortunately my uncle still has a Shimmer Stone. Problem is so does the evil wizard. So I need to assemble another rag tag team to go to my island because I kind of fucked up my duty as its protector really badly," Tessa sighed, "And I need to make up for it. So far its me, Daphne, Tobias, my Uncle, maybe Marcus and Wren. What say you?"

"Join our mad quest?"

Wolfram House || Closed AU

faerietanith

Fresh meat. New girl. New girl. Loner. Pretty thing. Fresh meat.

The whispers ran around the dining hall off Wolfram House. The mansion, more like a small castle, had been renovated into a modern mental hospital. It had highly trained staff and was run by one Wolfram Belvedere and son, Quinn Belvedere. It was out of the way, in the country and on the shore over cliffs, and they advertised that the air was good for the patients.

The lobby and visiting areas were very nice, and on visitor or tour days, it was all kept very, very orderly. The rest of the time...

Dana didn't know why the mental hospital existed. The rooms were tiny, cushioned, yet, but barred. They were some nights they didn't turn off the lights, and others they never turned them on. Sometimes they messed with the heat, or the cold. And she had heard screaming on some nights, though she'd been told it was her imagination.

They'd been drugging her so she wouldn't dream. She still hadn't figured out how to get past without swallowing, no matter how bad she wanted to dream again-to see him. She had taken those dreams for granted, didn't realize they were truly real, and no one had believed her. Now Dana was here.

And everyone was staring at the new girl. Dana took a breath and stood up, waving to Tanith, smiling. "There's space over here!"

"Perhaps not. But I do not care if you are afraid."

"My interest is in your pure heart."

[faerietanith]

"In what way is my heart ‘pure’ to you?"

[oraclespryte-blog]

"It is filled with light. A very pure light resides within your heart, faye. That is a very powerful energy, one of the most powerful things in all existence."
