Realistic or Modern Heroes and Villans

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian took flight after her, making sure to stick beside her, his face flushed of all color.

Echo murmured some stuff and Cinder shushed her. She landed in the forest near a small clear pond.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

((sorry, computer restarted..))


Octavian landed next to her, following her as she walked.

Cinder kept sobbing as she placed Echo on the water. She pushed her gently into the center and then left the pond.


Pale silver dust flowed down from the stars, swirling gently around Echo in some elaborate dance before trailing onto her hair, painting it in a pale rainbow.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian stared at the scene, obviously intrigued, but he stayed silent, nervously pulling at his fingernails.

Echo gasped and sat up, floundering around.


"NONONONO! Wait. I-i'm still here? B-but I saved the shadows, right?"


She looked over to see Octavian and tried to run over. She once again pulled an Echo and fell face first."

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian quickly ran over to her, "Are you okay?" He asked, helping her up, trying not to smile.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

She coughed up some water and nodded. "J-just feeling really strange."


Cinder watched Echo with a strange compassion. "Human, she will be a bit out of it for at least one moon cycle thanks to your magic potion. But it also saved her. Just try not to get to reckless with her. I can't be around to watch our Queen, I have orders to follow. She disappeared in a beam of light.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian looked where Cinder was before returning his attention to Echo. "Do you need any help walking?"

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

Echo giggled and stumbled over.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

"I'll take that as a yes." He said, picking her up, and walking away with her in his arms.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

She looked up at the stars.


"Preeetty!"

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

"Yep, the stars are really pretty." He said, looking up like she was. He began using his powers to fly the two away to make the trip faster.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

She kept laughing, completely delusional.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian kept flying until he reached the outskirts of the city, and opted to walk as to not draw attention, keeping out for the agents that wanted to hurt Echo.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

((gotta go))

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

(( Okay, talk to you later))

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

((Back! School was long.))


Echo clung to Octavian, trying not to fall asleep.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

(( I know the feeling, I just got back))


Octavian continued walking throughout the city, using his science jacket that he was wearing earlier to wrap around Echo's torso to hide her wings.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

She finally gave into exhaustion and let sleep take her.

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

Octavian smiled warmly, continuing to walk until he made it to his company, which was closer then his house. He sat her down on a smooth leather padded bench in the "waiting room", rearranging his jacket to use as a blanket on her before sitting in a chair across the room, falling asleep.

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

((I have to go. I'm really sorry. I probably won't be on ever again, but if you see a girl with short dark brown hair and brown eyes, droop some change maybe. Or just say Echo. I hope my saving will keep me alive on the streets...

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

((So sorry! I've been trying to hack past Dad's firewall. I'm still alive!))


Echo rubbed her head a bit, waking up a bit. "What in the name of every war... By every star, where am I?"

 

[TheUglyDuckling]

(Why is your dad so overprotective?)


Octavian jolted awake, pushing up his glasses, and looked over at Echo. "Hey..look who's awake..." He said, standing up and started to walk over to her. "Are you feeling okay?"

 

[Error404RealityFailed]

(Cause he's my dad. I've gotta go!)
