The Tale of Lynia

[Kitty_Chan]

She smiled softly. "Then you've come to the wrong person to talk to."

[Strega]

"Meh, there's always something positive."

[Kitty_Chan]

"I don't think so, if it's about me. Almost everything about me is dark." She shrugged. "But, you are who you are, I suppose."

[Strega]

"There's always something bright."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked up, thinking. "Hmm... Something happy... Something happy..."

[Strega]

Sora nodded, "Something."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shrugged. "Nothing. This journey is probably the brightest thing I've had, and it's not that bright."

[Strega]

"Okay, what was your favorite part of the trip?"

[Kitty_Chan]

She blinked, looking down, thinking. "Huh... I don't quite know that..."

[Strega]

"C'mon, terrorizing me, forcing me to blush, taking away my meat, defending the stupid squirrel who threw acorns at me....."

[Kitty_Chan]

"You told me you ate that squirrel." Aurora blinked.

[Strega]

"You were defending a dead squirrel by banishing me from meat."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Well, you're allowed to have it now, so what's the problem? You were banished for half a day."

[Strega]

"It's still evil......"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Ugh." Aurora rolled her eyes. "You're such a baby."

[Strega]

"You're so mean to me.... So, what was it?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sat there thinking. "... I don't know. I mean, it's the only bright part of my life, but I don't have a favorite part." She shrugged. "Sorry."

[Strega]

"...... Mine was...... meeting the blind Witch. That was kewl."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sweatdropped. "Wow. That was..."

[Strega]

"Stupid to you, not to me."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shrugged. "Well, yeah. So, why did you like it?"

[Strega]

"The stone, and watching her pick apart your lies...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora huffed, folding her arms. "So you like seeing me suffer?"

[Strega]

"No, just your shock."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sighed, staring at him, eyes glaring a bit. "Why did you really some out here? I KNOW it wasn't to make small talk."

[Strega]

Sora shrugged, "I dunno."

[Kitty_Chan]

She sighed, jumping down from the rail. "If you don't know, then let's go. We should hurry before the humans find the caravan." She began to walk towards the door.

[Strega]

"Okay...." Sora nodded.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora walked into the main room and Flare was sitting in her chair, waving. "Hiya!"
"So, are you going to send help or not?" She asked as Flare nodded.
"Yep. Elves are packing already."

[Strega]

Sora nodded, "How many?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"About 90." Flare shrugged. "If you're getting help from water elves, too, then you don't need too many."
"Thanks." Aurora smiled. "Do you want to head out Sora? Or stay the night here. Lia and Tara can wait 'til morning."

[Strega]

"I don't mind either way." Sora shrugged again.

[Kitty_Chan]

"You guys are staying." Flare smiled. "Since you can't seem to decide."
Aurora bowed, politely. "Thank you, Flare."

[Strega]

"Yes, thank you." Sora nodded, then tried to stifle his yawn.

[Kitty_Chan]

Flare jumped out her chair. "Here, I'll show you to your rooms." She began to walk down a hallway and Aurora followed.

[Strega]

Sora followed, staring at the floor.

[Kitty_Chan]

Flare stopped at the end where there were two rooms right across from another. "Here we go. You can pick your rooms." Flare smiled. "Choose either one." Aurora glanced at Sora.

[Strega]

"Right, I guess." Sora shrugged.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Left for me then." Aurora turned to Flare. "Thanks again." She then waved as she went into the room. "Goodnight."

[Strega]

"Night." Sora went into his room and flopped on the bed, 'My muscles ache....' he put the pillow over his face.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sighed and laid down on her bed. She stared up at the ceiling before she took off one of her gloves. Her forearm down had burn scars all over it. She put it over her eyes as tears streamed down her face.

[Strega]

Sora heard crying. He sat up, "Wuh?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora bit down on her lip so as to not make a sound. She then stared at her arm again. She had tried to save them but failed.

[Strega]

Sora stood, and realized it was a bad desicion as pain shot up his legs, "Ow...." he left the room and knocked on Aurora's door, "Aurora?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked, wiping away the tears and putting her glove back on. "Come in." She called. She had taught herself to make it so it was like she was never crying.

[Strega]

"You were crying." Sora accused.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked. "... What?"

[Strega]

"I heard you and your eyes are red and poofy."

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked down before bringing her knees to her chest, sitting up. "So?"

[Strega]

"Wanna talk?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shook her head, looking down.

[Strega]

"Please? I hate it when things worry you...."

[Kitty_Chan]

She just stared down. "I don't want to talk about it..." She muttered.

[Strega]

"Please, Aurora? I will get on my knees and beg."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora just stared down. "It would hurt too much..."

[Strega]

"I'll cry if you cry, come on."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sighed, tightening the grips on her knees. "... Are you sure?"

[Strega]

Sora nodded, "Yeah."


((Sorry, had to catch the dogs.))

[Kitty_Chan]

(( lol, it's alright. ))

She sighed, looking at him. "... If you want to sit, you can."

[Strega]

Sora took a seat on the floor, his legs were crossed and his chin rested on the palms of his hands.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked down. "When the humans came, my mother and father made me go outside. I heard them fighting and the humans wanted my parents to pay something. But they refused. Then, I heard them screaming and the house caught on fire. I ran and saw my mother. I wanted her to live, so I tried to save her." She took of her gloves, revealing the burns. "And that's how I got these."

[Strega]

Sora wanted to hug her again, "You were brave."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora set her gloves aside. "But then, a man grabbed me and pulled me away, so I began to use my earth power to put dirt on the fires. They saw this, and thought of a way my parents could pay them. They cut this curse onto my back and on the leader's hand. If he touches my back, my power is his to use. But he wanted me to grow my powers, so they left. But as he did, he yelled that he would find me and use my powers..." She felt tears welling up in her eyes. She put her forehead against her knees. "So now, even though I've tried hard not to grow my powers, they are equal to Katari's and would be able to match her!"

[Strega]

Sora hugged her again, "Hey, c'mon, we got away once, we can do it again."

[Kitty_Chan]

Her hand tightened on his shirt as she shook her head. "He knows how to find me. I won't ever be safe." She cried.

[Strega]

"I'll help you out. I promise." Sora said.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora's body began to shake. "No one can help me." She whispered. "I was almost banished from Alana because they knew he would come back to get me."

[Strega]

"I can too." Sora objected.

[Kitty_Chan]

She closed her eyes. "I'm sorry... But..." She trailed off.

[Strega]

"I can always try....." Sora wiped his tears away, 'No ceying!!! Wait... I promised... Okay, I can cry....'

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora closed her eyes. "Thank you..." She whispered.

[Strega]

Sora stroked her hair, "You're welcome."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora smiled softly, feeling her worries beginning to disappear.

[Strega]

"Better?" Sora asked.

[Kitty_Chan]

She nodded. "Thank you, Sora."

[Strega]

"You're welcome, Aurora." Sora smiled at her.

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked up at him, smiling back. She then wiped away some of the remainder of the tears.

[Strega]

"I haven't cried in forever...." Sora looked at the tears stains he'd left on her shirt.

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked at the stains as well. "Neither have I... This was the first time in a few years..."

[Strega]

"I haven't cried since I was seven, when Cloud died......." Sora shuddered.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sat up a little and hugged him around the neck. "I'm sorry. You've been here for me, but I haven't been there for you..."

[Strega]

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Sora stared at her, not used to her hugging him.

[Kitty_Chan]

She closed her eyes and tightened her grip a little. "It's still unfair..."

[Strega]

"I know, but not everything can be fair."

[Kitty_Chan]

She luaghed softly. "As if I didn't already know that."

[Strega]

"We have more in common then we thought, I guess." Sora chuckled.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I guess we do." Aurora let go of her grip and stared at Sora.

[Strega]

Sora looked at the bed.

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked away, unknowing of what to say or do.

[Strega]

"Ya'know, you have a bad first impression on people." Sora said thoughtfully.

[Kitty_Chan]

She smiled. "I know."

[Strega]

"And a second and third impression, but if you survive those, it's good."

[Kitty_Chan]

She smirked at him. "You know, you don't have a good first impression, either."

[Strega]

"Only to someone who threatens me before I even say a word." Sora laughed.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora huffed. "You act like I hated you before you said anything. I only disliked you because you wouldn't shut up."

[Strega]

"No, you threatened me because I was human."

[Kitty_Chan]

She shrugged. "Well, that's in the past. I don't want to hurt you anymore."

[Strega]

"Okay...." Sora smiled at her, "So we're friends now, right?"

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked up at him, smiling back. "Yeah."

[Strega]

"Good." Sora yawned again, "Gah. Too much excersize...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"You should probably go to bed. We may have to leave early."

[Strega]

"Okay..." Sora stood, feeling the pains again and walked to the door, "Night, Aurora." he left, shutting the door.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Goodnight..." She muttered as she lay back down. She felt an odd feeling in her body, but she didn't know what it was. She yawned before putting her gloves back on and closing her eyes.

[Strega]

Sora layed down on his bed, then sat up, pulling his shirt off, jagged marks made from barbed wire and glass and rocks dug into his skin. It had taken all the strength he had not to flinch when Aurora hugged him. He laid back down and closed his eyes.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora opened her eyes, sighing. She was not able to sleep. Instead, she got up and sat on the bay window and stared out. Something bugged her.

[Strega]

~Their uncle stood in the doorway, glaring at the siblings.
"Uncle....." Sora whimpered.
"Quiet, insolent brat! Both of you should be punished for disobeying me!"
"Please, don't!" Cloud fell backwards at the thought.
"Tonight's my birthday...." Sora mumbled.
"Well forget about it! I don't celebrate you!" the older man glared.~ Sora thrashed in his sleep.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked, hearing a noise from Sora's room. She got up and walked in. He was tossing in his sleep. She walked over and gently shook his shoulder. "Sora?"

[Strega]

"Don't hit her...." Sora rolled over in his sleep, away from Aurora's hand.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora blinked before shook him harder. "Sora." She said louder.

[Strega]

Sora opened his eyes, "Clou..... no...." he saw Aurora, "Hey...."

[Kitty_Chan]

She stared at him. "I think it's your turn to talk."

[Strega]

"About what?" Sora didn't want to talk.

[Kitty_Chan]

"About your past. I'm tired of being left in the dark."

[Strega]

"There's not much to talk about."

[Kitty_Chan]

"Then why won't you talk about it?"

[Strega]

"Because I don't like it."

[Kitty_Chan]

"And? I don't like my past but I told you because I trust you and didn't want you to worry." She looked away.

[Strega]

".... My parents died when I was four. My uncle unwillingly took me and Cloud in. He had us doing chores as long as we were able to walk, punishments were harsh. He rarely remembered to feed us, so we fended for ourselves. The dog was treated better. When I was ten, I started working with him in the blacksmithery, I knew more about weapons then most of the soldiers by the time I was 11. Cloud died when I was 7." Sora stared at his hands, "He literally beat her to death."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora stared at the scars all over him. "I'm so sorry..."

[Strega]

"My ankles are worse." Sora whispered, mostly to himself.

[Kitty_Chan]

She sat down next to him. "... I know I'm in no position to say this, but you shouldn't dwell too much on the past. You have to worry about your future, and what Cloud would want for you."

[Strega]

"I don't mean to dwell. I try to move on, but the dreams drag me back...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora stared at him before taking off a small chain around her neck. Attatched to it was an odd stone. She put it in his hand. "This is a special stone that I found in Alana when I was orphaned. I call it a dream stone because it allows the bearer to have good dreams." She smiled. "... I want you to have it for a while."

[Strega]

Sora stared at it, "But I can't take it, it's yours...."

[Strega]

((I have to go, I'll probably be on tomarrow, or possibly later tonight.))

[Kitty_Chan]

She shook her head. "I would feel better if you had it." She stared into his eyes. "... Please?"

(( hey, i gotta let my bro on. i may be on later tho. bye! ))

[Strega]

"But...." Sora closed the palm of his hand around it, "... Thanks...."

[Kitty_Chan]

She nodded before standing. Aurora looked at him. "Let me see you put it on, then I'll go to bed."

[Strega]

Sora put it on, really reluctantly.

[Kitty_Chan]

She narrowed her eyes a bit. "Don't take it off, I'll know. Promise?" She held out her pinky.

[Strega]

"..... Promise...." Sora mumbled, linking his pinkie with hers.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora smiled as he linked pinkies before you pulled a way, waving a bit. "Goodnight." She left.

[Strega]

"Good night..." Sora curled into a ball and pulled the blankets over him, hiding his own scars.

[Kitty_Chan]

She walked into her own room, eyes drooping. She felt very tired. She fell otno her bed and imediatly fell asleep.

[Strega]

Sora drifted to sleep and, as promised, had no bad dreams.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shivered in her sleep.

She was running in the dark, not able to tell if she was going anywhere. She heard the man's voice. She finally stopped and fell to her knees, panting. She looked up and he stood there, smirking.

She slowly opened her eyes, sighing and lying on her back.

[Strega]

Sora woke up before sunrise. He stood and walked to the balcony, 'They all treat me with kindness I don't deserve....'

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora sat up, rubbing her eyes. 'At least I slept through the night.' She thought, standing. They needed to get going.

[Strega]

Water appeared in Sora's hand and he tossed it from hand to hand, never once soaking his skin.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora knocked on Sora's door. "Come on. We need to get going." She called before walking down the hallway.

[Strega]

Sora left the room, putting a shirt on as he walked.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora walked up to Flare, who waved.
"Sleep well?" She asked.
"We need to get going." Aurora said as Flare pouted.
"Fine. Be careful though."

[Strega]

"Thank you, Flare." Sora bowed his head slightly, partially out of respect.

[Kitty_Chan]

Flare smiled. "No problem. By the way, I had some scouts go out last night and they found your caravan. It's hidden outside."
Aurora bowed. "Thanks Flare." She then began to leave.

[Strega]

Sora followed Aurora silently.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora led him through the small city and to a rock. She then walked over to it and found a mark similar to the one in the pond. She pressed it, muttering something, and it opened.

[Strega]

Sora watched, really used to strange things happening.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked around outside before sighing. No one was in sight. She had had a bad feeling since she woke up. She called to Lia and Tara in her mind. She got a response and began to walk towards tgeir destination.

[Strega]

Sora still followed, his head was starting to hurt and he looked around, alert for a reason he couldn't put his thumb on.

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked around. Something felt very wrong, but she couldn't ell what. She quickened her pace, fearfully.

[Strega]

Sora put his hand on her shoulder, "Calm down."

[Kitty_Chan]

She stopped, looking down. "Something's wrong here..." She muttered. "I don't think Flare tricked us, but..." She trailed off.

[Strega]

"It might not have been Flare." Sora reminded her.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora looked around. "I know it wasn't her. I just feel like we're in danger."

[Strega]

"You too?" Sora chuckled.

[Kitty_Chan]

She nodded. "I know something will happen today. I don't know when or what, but I can feel it."

[Strega]

Sora swallowed hard, he didn't want to die, he'd found a small peice of happiness.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora glanced at him. "... I had another dream last night... but it wasn't about you..."

[Strega]

"That's not always a good thing..."

[Kitty_Chan]

She stared at the ground. "... Zaku found me... and he touched my back... but I heard your voice somewhere, yelling..." She closed her eyes. She had bad dreams all night.

[Strega]

"You should've kept the necklace...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shook her head. "It was a premonition. My necklace doesn't stop those. It wouldn't have mattered anyway."

[Strega]

Sora stared worridly at her, then glanced around, all the trees and plants whispering to him at once, "Something's coming...."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora nodded. "I can feel it, too...."

[Strega]

Sora kept looking around, he looked paranoid, "I need to tell you something.... My uncle was amoung those soldiers....."

[Kitty_Chan]

"I know. I could always tell by the way you spoke or didn't speak of him."

[Strega]

"Good, that's always great news. How much time do you think we have?" he already new the answers was minutes if they were lucky.

[Kitty_Chan]

"I don't know." She grabbed his hand, pulling him. "Come one! We gotta get going!"

[Strega]

Sora looked around as the whispers got more frantic. He stopped and pulled Aurora back as an arrow shot in front of her. He brushed his lips against hers, then ran into the woods.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora followed him, staring at him. She ran faster, running right beside him.

[Strega]

Another arrow shot, then more.
"You can't run forever, kid!" the voice sent tremers down Sora's spine. It scared him as bad as it had when he was a child.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora glanced back and made a rising motion with her hand. A wall of rock appeared right behind the two.

[Strega]

Sora whispered something and two guys fell out of trees, screaming, then hitting the ground hard and with a sharp snap. They laid motionless.

[Kitty_Chan]

She ignored the sund from the two as she kept running. She could voices behind them.

[Strega]

"Boy!!!!!" came the same voice, then a thud as a human landed, a few more thuds and they were chasing the two again.
Sora stumbled, almost falling.
"It's pointless to run!"

[Kitty_Chan]

"Don't give up, Sora!" Aurora yelled to him. "There's always a chance, don't forget that!"

[Strega]

Sora kept running, 'He'd kill mr for this! He'd torture me till I died!' fear kept him going.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora glanced back. "Do you know who the human general is?"

[Strega]

"My uncle." Sora gasped as something heavy hit him in the back. He fell forewards.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora gasped, kneeling down. "Sora!" She shook him before growling at his uncle. "Zaku... Evil man." She faced him, readying for him to come near.

[Strega]

Sora stood up, his face slightly dirty, but he didn't care, the taste of blood and dirt trickled into his mouth. He tugged on Aurora's hand, "C'mon!!!!"

[Kitty_Chan]

She stayed put. "I can't. I'm tired of running from him."

[Strega]

"Please?" Sora begged. He was truly scared.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora smiled at him. "Sora... you go. If he finds out who I am, there is a chance that we won't die right here."

[Strega]

A sheild of roots covered the two as another round of arrows were shot at them, "I'm not leaving you."

[Kitty_Chan]

She stared up at him. "... You humans really are foolish."

[Strega]

"I know." he smiled weakly.

[Kitty_Chan]

She laughed softly before looking behind them. She couldn't see through the roots, but she could hear and feel them. "... I never knew his name... so I called him Zaku, which means 'Evil Man.'..."

[Strega]

"I know...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"I know his name now, though. I overheard you and Flare talking yesterday." She laughed softly.

[Strega]

"You mean...." Sora started peicing things together, "Ah, you must hate me!"

[Kitty_Chan]

"i can't hate. No matter what someone syas or does to me, it's not in my power." She glanced at him. "But you didn't ask me until that night, Sora."

[Strega]

".... Ask which question?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"About my past. Flare told you to make me tell you, but you didn't on the balcony. You did last night." She winced, hearing more arrows hit the shield around the two.

[Strega]

"... I didn't know how to make you tell me on the balcony, I was winging it..."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora shook her head. "It doesn't matter anymore." She looked behind them again. "It's only a matter of time before they burn it down, Sora."

[Strega]

"Then are we facing them together or running?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"I'm not going to fight them. If your uncle wants to kill you so bad, then we together don't stand much of a chance." She closed her eyes, sadly.

[Strega]

"Then we're running?"

[Kitty_Chan]

"You are. I'm going to surrender."

[Strega]

"I'm not leaving without you."

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked at him. "I'm sorry, but I think this is where we part ways..."

[Strega]

"Not leaving you."

[Kitty_Chan]

"And I'M not letting you die."

[Strega]

"Well then, we have a dilema then." Sora smirked.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Sora." Aurora protested. "Please, go. I'll be fine."

[Strega]

Sora shook his head, then looked at her, "I don't want to lose another person...."

[Kitty_Chan]

"You won't! I can take care of myself!" She cried. "And if you die, then..." She averted her gaze. "... Then I won't know what to do..."

[Strega]

"... Fine... I'll run, but promise me you won't die so I can come back to you later."

[Kitty_Chan]

"I can't make that promise."

[Strega]

"... Tell me when to put the sheild down...." Sora looked away, not wanting to show how much saying that killed him.

[Kitty_Chan]

"They're only coming from my direction." Aurora stated. Suddenly, she made a rising motion, creating a wall in between the two. It went as high as the trees and as far as she could make it. "Goodbye, Sora..." She muttered.

[Strega]

"Later." Sora started running, the trees whispering sayings of danger.


The group smiled at Aurora, but Sora's uncle wasn't amoung them.

[Kitty_Chan]

She looked around before her eyes widened. "Where's Scythe?!?" She demanded.

[Strega]

One of them smirked, grabbing her, "Went to find the boy. Told us to restrain you and keep you alive."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora growled at him. "Don't. TOUCH. Me." She shoved her palm in an upward angle at his nose before grabbing one of her twin blades.

[Strega]

Four more guys stole the blades, held her hands and feet and tied her up, "We don't think so." one laughed.


Sora ran, when he heard a tree whisper something of interest.
''Sora! He's not there! He's coming for you!"
Sora froze and looked around.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora glowered at the ropes. Four against one. It was unfair, but she smirked. "I guess you're the reason why we elves call humans stupid."

[Strega]

"What's that supposed ta mean?" one sneared.


"Boy, you've caused an uproar." Jack chuckled coming out of a darker spot.
Sora stared at him frozen.

[Kitty_Chan]

"Why do you think Scythe chose me for a power source?" Suddenly, wolves jumped out from behind some trees, surrounding the men along with foxes, growling. Aurora smirked. "My power outnumbers you." She stated as a squirrel chewed through the ropes. She stood, concentrating. 'Sora!' She screamed through her thoughts. 'Don't let the past or anything Jack says get the better of you! Remember the strengths you have! You're better than him!'

[Strega]

The men looked at each other, horror written on their faces.


"I sent them after her so she could watch you die. You should've known." Jack chuckled.
"No...." Sora whispered as Jack walked towards him and hit him, causing Sora to fall backwards.
"Let's add more scars, shall we?"

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora began to run towards Sora, letting the animals take care of the men. She panted. 'Sora!' She called again. 'Come on! Hang in there! Don't let him get the better for you! Stay alive for me!' She screamed her thoughts around the whole forest.

[Strega]

Sora heard it, but Jack already had ahold of his hair, blade to his throat.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora saw the two figures ahead and she ran faster. 'I'm not going to make it!' She cried.
"SCYTHE!!!" She screamed, anger filling her body. She sent a powerful and fast shockwave at the two through the ground.

[Strega]

Jack jumped it, but it hit Sora, sending him backwards into a tree. He goaned, a small cut on his throat, bleeding onto the bandana aroung his neck.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora ran to Sora, healing his wound. "I'm sorry." She whispered. She then turned to Jack, glaring. She pulled out her pocket knife and raised it to her throat.
"If you put one more scar on Sora I swear I'll shove this knife through my throat and you'll NEVER get the power of the elves!"

[Strega]

"You don't scare me, elf!" Jack glared, "And he's rightfully mine to punish."
Sora looked at Aurora, "It's not your fault."

[Kitty_Chan]

"No he's not." She snapped. "Sora is a person, not an object. He hasn't done anything wrong to deserve the pain you've put him through. Don't even think about even touching him again."

[Strega]

Jack laughed, "You know nothing of human ways. It is a parents choice on how to punish a child and what that punishment is."

[Kitty_Chan]

"That may be true..." Aurora looked down. "... But he's NOT your child anymore!" She created spikes of rock as they shot out of the ground.

[Strega]

Jack moved, dodging them ,"Now, now, elf, you don't expect that will work on me."
Sora stared at Jack, the fire behind his back feeling nice right then.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora glared. "My name's not 'elf', Scythe."

[Strega]

Jack shook his head, "Elf none the less."
Sora threw the ball of fire at Jack, who was knocked back.

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora saw her chance and ran at Jack, using vines to hold him down.

[Strega]

Jack struggled.
Sora stood up straight, "Karma, Uncle. Karma."

[Kitty_Chan]

Aurora stared at him at his position. She smirked. "You look pathetic, Scythe. My only tough descision is to decide what to do to make you pay for what you did to us."

[Strega]

"He doesn't deserve death." Sora mumbled. He looked at his uncle and sympathy glinted in his eyes, "What'd I ever do to you?"
"You were born!" Jack growled.

[Kitty_Chan]

She stared down at him. "Hmpf. That's a pretty pathetic answer."

[Strega]

"You and that monster of a girl always getting in my buisness." Jack muttered.
"She's not a monster!!!!" Sora yelled at him.

[Kitty_Chan]
