Fantasy The Fallen

[The Darkling]

her feathers bristled, "you act quite different...at least amongst the ones under this damp sky..so i guess its nice to meet you to" she decided that at the moment she was safe. she was fast though and if she had to she culd bring her dagger out before he reached her and if he were to fly off before her then she wouldnt have to worry about flying first. her wings ached anyway.

"I think we have scrabble. Maybe monopoly. I'll have to check." Lyra lets her in the house, and walks over to a closet. She opens up the door and searches through it, producing three boxes. Scrabble, Shoots&Ladders, and Candyland.

Elan peeked over her shoulder. "Oh, is that Candyland? Let's play that."

 

[IceQueen]

Aki watched two people enter a house and shut the door. She sighed and looked though the window. She saw them looking at games. She sat down. She wished she wasn't isolated so much, because it hurt her. But she would never go back to that stupid place ever again. She sighed again and curled up.

Elan noticed Aki outside, looking in at her and Lyra. Elan's sympathy was stirred by the forlorn look on the girl's face. She opened the window and called out: "Do you want to come play with us?"

 

[IceQueen]

Aki looked up, her face brightening. She smiled and walked over. "Sure. I have never really played board games." She said, walking to the door and opening it. She walked over and looked at the other girl, waving. There were a few of them now, three to be exact. "Just tell me if you want me to leave." She said.

 

[ActionPony]

"We're playing Candyland, although we also have scrabble and shoots (is it supposed to be chutes?) and ladders. What's your name?" 

Aki looked up, her face brightening. She smiled and walked over. "Sure. I have never really played board games." She said, walking to the door and opening it. She walked over and looked at the other girl, waving. There were a few of them now, three to be exact. "Just tell me if you want me to leave." She said.

(Are you going to answer Elan?)

 

[IceQueen]

"Aki." She said, looking around. "Candyland sounds good, I guess. I have never really played a board game." She said.

 

[ActionPony]

"Aki." She said, looking around. "Candyland sounds good, I guess. I have never really played a board game." She said.

"Wow. We need to get you started soon. They're very fun. I still didn't get your name, though. What is it?"

 

[IceQueen]

"Aki, or Akira, but I prefer Aki." She said, following her. She smiled and fixed her hair absentmindedly, trying to calm her nerves. She stretched her wings a bit, folding them back in afterwards.

"It's a nice name. I'm Elan."


Elan started setting up the Candyland board. That's when she noticed something.


"Drat it, the pieces are lost. OK if I replace them with My Little Pony toys?"

 

[giraffesarebetter]

Maddox nods, watching her. "What's a girl like you doing hiding in the shadows of an alley? " As he continues watching her, he noticies how she holds her wings regretfully ready, as though they hurt.

"You carry around My Little Pony toys? Lyra asks Elan, sitting down. "I'm Lyra, by the way Aki. It's nice to meet you."

 

[IceQueen]

Aki smiled. "Hi Lyra." She said, looking at her. She looked at the My Little Pony toys. "A bit pink don't you think."

 

[The Darkling]

(sorry didnt get the notification for this one for some reason)


she looked around once more then looked back at the man, "this place isnt always the safest..you should know that if you live here as well. i was just trying to...find somewhere where i could feel safe for awhile" she crossed her arms and sighed. "besides werent you just on the roof?"

 

[giraffesarebetter]

Maddox smirks. "I was begind you." He points to the other side of the alley. "You should know there is hardly a safe place here. I've managedbto secure one for myself. I may let you come... if your neednis dire enough." He raises a single eyebrow, asking her to explain without voicinf the question.

Lyra nods. "Very pink." She looks at Aki curiously. "So where you from?"

 

[The Darkling]

she cursed, he was right no where here was safe and she probably wouldnt find a place like that. but did he really mean it when he said he had a safe haven? she leered at him a bit, "how can i be sure? i mean i just met you and..." she stopped herself and thought for a second. it was probably not going to be any safer than she is now and she had her weapon. "actually..ok..but if you really want to know. i was running from people"

 

[IceQueen]

Aki looked at the ground nervously. "Ah, nowhere special." She said.

 

[giraffesarebetter]

"Who?" He crosses hus arms. His safe haven was his, and there was no way he was going to let someone else in if he didn't know alk the details.

 

[giraffesarebetter]

"Outside the city?" She asks curiously. Lyra had never been all over the light half of the capitol.

 

[IceQueen]

Aki nodded. "Something like that." She said.

 

[The Darkling]

she didnt like telling people about her personal situations, but if he was going to take her somewhere that could keep her safe it might be worth it. "ok..ok..some other fallen were trying to rip off my wings..they didnt like my heritage and decided it was the best thing to do. and if you decide to ask more questions thats as much as i can tell you here"

 

[giraffesarebetter]

Maddox narrows his eyes. "What's your heritage?" He assumes she has at least some light in her then, as he'd been in the same situation before. Years ago...

Lyra smiles. "Why'd you leave? "

 

[IceQueen]

"I didn't see a reason to stay." Aki said.

 

[The Darkling]

she groaned, "i dont know if i should talk about that stuff here...i never know who is listening and the last thing i need is more people trying to hurt me. i swear i wont do anything.." she realized there was only one thing she could do. she slipped her weapon from its holster and handed it to him. "its the only one i have"

 

[giraffesarebetter]

Maddox takes the dagger, balancing it in his hand before slipping it into his waistband. "Follow me." He leads her through thebstreets until they come to another alley. Looking around cautiously, he moves a staxk if crates, recealing a sewer entrance. With amazing strength, he lifts it up. "Inside."

Lyra nods. "Oh. Where was it?" She realized she was being a bit childish in her questions. But hey. She was only 14.

 

[IceQueen]

Aki stiffened. "Nowhere important." She said.
