Drakians (Telios & DawnAntalios)

[DawnAntalios]

She nodded.


" I wonder what a cycle is though. " she kept thinking out loud but then she dismissed this thought. They did not need any troubling thoughts for now: they were burdened by enough responsibilities. She just wanted Vane to relax and feel happy once more - for his smile illuminated her day.

 

[Telios]

"Every few hundreds years, perhaps." Vane shrugged, hugging her close to him as he petted her head. "But ;et's rest. I think we have enough trouble for the day." He looked into her eyes and smiled warmly. It was only noon, but the teleportation spells had really worn them out.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She nodded and closed her eyes to rest. Only a few hours would suffice but she wanted to sleep just a bit. The memories flashed in her mind in a vivid, fast fashion thinking about everything she and Vane have leanrt today. When she would wake from her sleep she would test out her new abilities... she could not wait.

 

[Telios]

Vane woke up five hours later, slowly sitting up and trying not to wake Zoe up. He went downstairs to prepare for a stew for dinner. Memories and thoughts flashed through his mind, most of them are about what happened lately.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Zoe woke up few minutes later than Vane. She smiled and thought to trick him a little while he was cooking dinner. Calling upon the purple mists she closed her eyes and focused on the boy. A few moments later her features changed to the one of the boy.


" I do look like him! " she exclaimed while she realized that her voice was still the same.


She then headed downstairs and silently walked up to him, putting her hand gently on his shoulder.

 

[Telios]

"Awake already?" Vane turned around to see a clone of himself. "Nice try Zoe." He snickered. "But I already knew you can do that." He then gave her a kiss on her forehead and returned to cooking.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Aww, come on. " she said as she reverted back to her original form. " Well at least I tried, yes? "


She grinned and prepared the dishes for the dinner, putting it and the cutlery on the table. Then she sat down and looked at her hands. Even now she tried to shift her appearance into sometbody other... this vability could be useful although she had to learn how to change her voice as well if she wanted real subterfurge.

 

[Telios]

"You tried and I have to say. You did really well. I believed that I was looking into a mirror for a moment." He laughed, stirring the stew. A while later, it was ready and took out two bowls, pouring the stew into them and brought them to the table. He gave her one and sat in his seat with one.

 

[DawnAntalios]

They ate in silence. Zoe disregarding every part of the etiquette ate fast as she was ravenous. After a short while she looked at him curiously.


" So what do you think we should do now? " she asked, still eating her food.

 

[Telios]

"I'll go for a bath personally." Vane sighed, eating the stew he made. "And maybe we'll go train tomorrow." He suggested with a shrug.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" All right. " she said as she finished her meal. She picked up the bowls and put them into the sink, starting to wash them carefully. This evening was free for them and she did not really have any plans to do anything... maybe she would go to the town, memorizing the faces of people or just to have a nice refreshing walk.

 

[Telios]

"I'll be having a bath upstairs if you needed me, alright my love?" Vane kissed her cheek and went upstairs. After having gathered some clothes from the wardrobe, he went to the bathroom and turned on the water, filling the tub up.

 

[DawnAntalios]

It was early in the evening when she set out to explore the city. She was excited and fired up: passion burning in her heart to learn how ot harness her new powers. Illusions were just a mere fraction of her abilities - according to Usher. She was able to turn invisible although only for few seconds, switch places with others, create multiple illusions of herself.


Using these abilities expended her power beyond measure. Previously her abilities did not cost much... these illusions however were different. She needed to be careful about using them if she wanted to maintain control. But Usher also mentioned things called ' Ley Lines ' which served as fonts of magical powers and coincidentally there was one here in Victoria. She set out to find this point of power.

 

[Telios]

The ley line passed Victoria's town square and out to the eat of it, carrying off in to the plains. Zoe would feel stronger every time she got close.


Vane finished his bath quite quickly and changed into his clean clothes, the dirty ones into their appropriate place: the laundry basket. He came downstairs to look for Zoe, but she wasn't there. "Zoe? Where are you?" He asked through their telepathic link.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" I am out for a walk, my dear. " she replied to him, not sure if she wanted to reveal her plan or not. " I am following the advice of Usher, I want to see if she was right. "


With that she followed the invisible line which she faintly felt as she walked in the streets.

 

[Telios]

"About your new abilities?" Vane asked her, heading to the exit of the house and walked outside. He didn't really want to follow her, but to do something else.

 

[DawnAntalios]

" Presumably. " she said as she found herself slowly reaching the outskirts of the city. She still followed the line but now she felt that she was about to reach the focal point where the power culminated. After leaving the city she walked few miles - then she reached the font of power.


" Wow. " she said as she felt the overwhelming amounts of power flowing from the earth. It was breathtaking and wonderful at the same time.

 

[Telios]

Vane walked around town to help the townspeople, also trying to get some money. He eventually helped some and he got a small amount of money, but he was content.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She went near to the point and felt energy surging through her. Mesmerized by the wild torrents of magic she tried her spells out with more than tremendous success. She could create much more clones, could turn invisible indefinitely and her transformation was complete.


" This is amazing! " she exclaimed in happiness as she charged a blast of magic to hurl it in the air. Instead however as soon as she launched the missile it started spinning in the air then blasted itself into the ground with such force that it shook the ground and the rumble was heard in the city as well.


As the dust settled Zoe saw something strange. A small fragment of the fabric of time revealed itself. She walked towards it curiously, reaching out for it with her hand.

 

[Telios]

Vane felt rumbling from outside of town and he quickly ran to the gates to see what was happening. He soon felt someone familliar. "Zoe." he knew who it was immediately and changed, flying out to her.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She finally dared to touch the thing and immediately felt numbness and blackness to overwhelm her. She collapsed on the ground into sitting position, her eyes turning black as the void with the shocked expression on her face.


She drifted to a vision of the same place but there was no sight of the city nearby. In face all she could see was the sky burning, hundreds of corpses around her and a single man who stood against a massive white dragon.


Punos.


It took her a few seconds to remember that this was once again just a vision. She looked at the white colossus as he looked vastly different. He seemed to be much more powerful and stronger than anything she had seen. Pure destructive energy radiated from his boy as he faced his tiny opponent - presumably an another Drakian in human form.

 

[Telios]

Vane spotted Zoe lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious. "Zoe!" He roared, not in anger, but in fear. He landed next to her and changed back, picking her up into his arms and shook her gently.

 

[DawnAntalios]

Zoe - instead of waking up decided to try and show all this to Vane as well. Extending her focus she sent an image to his mind so he could join her in this vision to witness the battle between the two Drakians of eons past.


Punos started to talk to the small human - probably threatening him - but the sounds of the image were distorted. She could not hear anything what the white behemoth told the small wizard so she just watched carefully.

 

[Telios]

"Where is this place?!" Vane was shocked as he was dragged into the vision by Zoe. He looked up at the white behemoth of an Drakian. "That must be Punos..."

 

[DawnAntalios]

" I have to assume that these are the plains of Victoria. " she explained to him " Eons ago. This must be the final comfrontation between that man and Punos. "


The white dragon then unleashed a dark flame at the tiny person and she expected him to evaporate imediately. Instead he deflected the attack easily with a shield and retaliated with the blast of his own. Punos consumed his magic easily then lunged forward to kill the meddling insect but the man instead jumped very high in the air launching himself at the white colossus. Punos roared angrily, trying to fend off his assailant but he cling to his scales tenaciously. He then unsheated a sword from his wasit, thrusting it in the side of the beast who then roared in pain.
