Dragon's Roar ( Future Arc )

Castiel​

"I've never heard the urban legend.. I guess that's probably because I lived on a farm away from most people-" Castiel paused for a second as he realised what he'd just said. "I mean.. not a farm.. a big Castle.. because I'm a monarch.. and I live in a castle.. Yeah.." Castiel started walking backwards, away from Asterisk. "Thanks for the help.... see ya later.. or something" Castiel turned on his heel and sped up his walking. He grabbed the book as he walked past, before finding a table to sit down at. He then started reading through the book.

"Yeah, I can promise you that one. I won't leave this time. I'll make the proper resonance...however you do that. Do you have any details on how it's done? I've never had to deal with this situation before so I guess the knowledge is all on you." Ashlyn slightly frowns and begins floating even closer to the ground.

Ree felt a small wave of relief at Ashlyn's response, causing her curled up posture to slightly relax.
"Good. To tell you the truth, when you flew out of the temple, I thought I lost my best chance of coming out of this all in one piece...I kinda panicked for a while, thinking that I would never see you again." Ree nervously confesses, with a small hint of a smile, despite the frayed nerves still slightly evident in her voice.
"...But I'm glad you're here, because after all of...this", Ree motions towards the city ruins, punctuating her statement before continuing, "...I'm convinced of two things: this prophecy is a lot bigger then what we were told...and we're going to need all the help we can get to deal with it."
---
When it came to resonance, Ree had to take a moment to dig up what exactly that strange woman had said.
"Hm...It feels like it was so long ago...I remember it sounding really vague and weird...Something about "opening my soul"?"
Closing her eyes in meditation, Ree telepathically thinks, "Maybe I just need to focus on this link that we have and just...let you in? Don't try to force it, like I did last time..."
Ree relaxes her entire body, focusing on nothing but her link to her celestial weapon.

Ashlyn
​

Ashlyn could feel Ree trying to resonate with her but she was still slightly hesitant. It almost made her think of her past when she was just a lab rat, along with the other split personalities. As different as this situation is, that was the main reason why the splits didn't want to resonate with their respective kids. Getting over this past wouldn't be easy...but maybe this could be a good start. Ashlyn opens up her soul to Ree as well and allows both off their souls to combine as one. In a matter of seconds, they ended up fully resonating and being able to utilize their soul bond. "I don't know whats going on yet nor do I know how to 'use' this potential I feel. Though due to what happened to Alexandria when she performed a task-" She gestures to Alexandria in orb form. "I'm afraid to test and find out." ( King Crimson )

The Book
​

Once Castiel opened the book he could see gruesome images of a hooded, burned, and decrepit figure forcefully holding a human down while sucking out what seemed to be their soul into it's open mouth. It had an elongated tongue and jagged fingernails. The book itself was titled, "The Soul Whisker". There was information on the Soul Whisker not being a reaper itself, but holding qualities just like it. It could travel in an upside down reverse world, manipulate and use soul matter, change its form, and gain knowledge at swift levels. It was the ultimate predator for beings with souls and the biggest annoyance to reapers, necromancers, and death gods alike. Urban legend says that it would usually prey upon singled out targets during the night. These accounts haven't been proven due to the Whiskers erratic hunting patterns. It doesn't seem to go after a certain type of prey at a certain point in time, just whatever may be available. ( GingerBread )

Christopher​

"I'm sure you guys would just take an arm or something, nothing I couldn't live without I guess" Christopher wasn't looking forward to travelling with this group, as they seemed like psychopaths, but he was sure he didn't have much of a choice, since the only other people in the area were in the town.. the one that had been destroyed, presumably by the group he was now with. "I'm sure that travelling with you guys will cost me an arm and a leg in one way or another.. I just hope it's not in the literal sense. Cause, I'm not sure about you guys, but if I lose mine, they're probably not going to grow back, Not to mention, I'm kinda attached to them, I've had them my whole life"

Christopher shrugged as started going to sleep underneath a nearby tree. He decided to go and talk to 'Alyson' like Suria suggested, but after looking around for.. no longer than a second, Christopher realised that he had no idea who Alyson even was. "Right, well. Slight problem. I have no idea who any of you people are, what you look like, or your names.. so I think I'm not going to be able to find this Alyson. And for all I know, she could also be a psychopath.. maybe one that kills people quickly since you said she's nicer than most of you.."

Castiel​

Castiel sighed heavily as he realised he'd have to read through all the stuff in the book, as most people considered it an urban legend and most of the info in the book would probably just be rumors or something simular. He then had the idea to quickly skim through the book. "So, it's a reaper, it can change how it looks, it goes after souls.. which I guess a reaper would. And it singles out people.. or something like that. I guess" Castiel closed the book and leaned back in the chair he was sitting in, lightly sighing as he did. "Well, that was.. not helpful at all. This is why I don't bother to read books, I could've figured this out on my own, but instead I wasted my time... Though I guess I don't really have much I can do.. being kidnapped and all" Castiel thought aloud as he sat forwards again, idly tapping his fingers on the desk as he waited for Demetria to come and get him; He figured he'd get at least a little more information out of the books, or at least have something to kill time while he waited for Demetria.

Ashlyn

Ashlyn could feel Ree trying to resonate with her but she was still slightly hesitant. It almost made her think of her past when she was just a lab rat, along with the other split personalities.

Though due to what happened to Alexandria when she performed a task-" She gestures to Alexandria in orb form. "I'm afraid to test and find out." ( King Crimson )

Ree diverted all of her attention toward establishing a connection to Ashlyn, but after several moments of nothing happening, small doubts began to wriggle into the back of her mind.
Am I not doing this right?
Is she going to run away again?
Does she even want to do this?
Ree's worries are allayed once she feels an oddly familiar sensation, one that she vaguely remembers feeling years ago, during a long night of uneasy dreams.
The morning after, she woke up to the sight of an army of monsters at the foot of her bed.
Opening her eyes to study first herself, for any noticeable sign of change, than to her newly-united soulmate.
The troubled look on her face all but confirmed Ree's earlier suspicions, and in an effort to comfort their shared misgivings, Ree earnestly replies, with a small chuckle, "Sounds like we're in the same boat then. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, right?"
Moments after making her statement, the amicable visage vanishes just as suddenly as it had appeared, as if something she had said had managed to unearth some of Ree's own personal doubts.
"Uhm, Ashlyn..." Ree starts, hesitant, ready to withdraw back into her personal shell.
"Do you mind...if I ask you a couple of things on our way back to the group?"
"And...could you maybe give me a lift? I think I might have sprained my ankle..."

  Notes
  
  We totally cant believe we actually have to resonate with these kids.

At this point the split personalities had accepted the fact that they might have to resonate with the kids. Alice rolls her eyes and easily exits the chasm with a couple jumps. "This is so ridiculous, after this I'm having Christina resurrect Nelliel so I can show her how much I DONT appreciate this." Alice goes silent for a moment but raises her eyebrows as if she's listening to someone. "Yeah Carnage, you can give her a piece of your mind too." Alice dashes within the forest at swift speeds, moving out the way of trees while she does so. Once she finds Marshal, she points him out. "Yo, you and me kid. Let's resonate."

Ashlyn decides to throw in another suggestion to the conversation she's having with Ree. "While we're at it, we might as well resonate. I've been holding it off for long enough anyways. What do you think?" Ashlyn tilts her head, curiously waiting for Ree's answer.

Alexandria responds to Alyson telepathically. "I don't know what happened. I'll have to ask the other splits later, they probably know why this happened to me." Alexandria notices the other split personalities offering to resonate. She guessed it was about time she did too. The faster they helped these kids the sooner this entire ordeal would end. "W-would you look to...resonate?"

Christina sighs and rolls her eyes because honestly fuck this show, she wanted nothing to do with this bullshit anymore. Even Alice turned into a complete bitch and decided to resonate with these kids. Which means they'd pressure her into it sooner or later. "What happened to we'll never sync up with these kids? Freaking power guzzlers." Christina exits the chasm and approaches Kristen, plainly staring at her for a moment. "So....want to resonate?"

Marshall was sitting on a rock tending to his bow when Alice came to him. He was shocked and confused. "Resonate? I don't know what the he'll that means but sure I guess. I have a feeling that it isn't my choice and if I make you make you could break me like a twig." He put his bow down and stood up. "Ok how do we do this?" He had no clue what was going on but he just decided to go with it.

Clark shrugged his shoulder and he slowly finished healing her. He had no energy left with him at the moment. "All good. Just don't get hurt again I don't have the vials for energy."

In orb form, Alexandria floats over to Alyson so she could settle within her palms. "We've already almost done this before so maybe we can do it again." Alexandria begins opening herself up to connect with Alyson, slowly intertwining her soul with Alyson.

Alyson​

Alyson held the orb in her palms as it floated there. She then turns towards Clark and smiles. "Thank you Clark, you are very helpful." She said. She then looks at the orb. 'Alright Alexandria I'm about to try.' She brings the orb towards her chest embracing it. She opens up her soul and empties her mind, allowing instinct and feeling to take over.
