Mirage began folding up the drawing as Takara's duplicate spoke, struggling to remain calm. It was unlike her to be nervous, but it was not impossible, as she was in a stranger's room and not in the best shape. Her eyes widened slightly as he mentioned the possibility of her being uncomfortable with his actions, and she thought as to whether she was or not.


"I'm not at all uncomfortable," she replied. "Thank you for moving me here."


As she finished folding the parchment, Takara asked as to what she was doing intruding his desk space. He seemed genuinely curious, to Mirage's surprise, and she turned, holding out the folded paper. "I was just drawing." She stood and pushed the wooden chair back to where it was, taking note to also return the pen to its proper place. She lightly tapped her head, unsure if the pain would come back due to his duplicate's presence within the room. It seemed that at the moment, it would not, a realization that caused her a sign of relief.

Takara Hiroji

Listening as Takara had kept his back turned towards the nurse employee of the inn by the time she had taken notice of the innkeeper standing right there before her, listening to her apology even as his face had remained it's deep crimson. He would remain silent for a moment before simply shaking his head as a response at first. "O-oh! It's nothing you must apologize for Khaleesi. I had simply wished to make s-sure you were alright. If you had wished to come out here, that is completely up to your choice. I had simply wished to make sure that you were safe." As he had spoken out of concern, his words themselves were as true as they could be. Anyone who would've walked out during this time of night and especially alone out in the forest when the predators had lurked around the most had caused Takara to be filled with plenty of concern over their own well being, strong or not. Soon enough, as the sounds of the woman slowly helping her way out of the water simply to slip her own clothing on, he had kept his back towards her until she had finally been completely dressed; thankfully by that point, his cheeks had finally returned to their usual slightly pale yet peach color once more. Finally returning his attention once more upon Khaleesi this time as she had spoken of an apology once more and only brought up the fact that earlier when he had touched her, he had ended up bringing horrid memories back; his own violet hues had widened in utter shock of full concern. Gasping with barely a word being able to leave his lips before the woman would already plan to intend to return her way back towards the inn.


"W-wait. Khaleesi." Right as he had called for the woman, placing the slightest palm upon her shoulder; he would've immediately realized that he had touched her once more before quickly pulling his hand back to his side once more, his own gaze directing towards the forest floor as he would immediately waste none of his time to drop to his own hands and knees, lowering his head to the floor before him whilst his own forehead was placed firmly against the dirt. "Please. I had not known of my own mistake. I give you my deepest and most sincere apologies. I had not known about the pain I had caused you...I know it would not be much...but sorry..truly I am sorry." As he had apologized, Takara would've asked what had he had brought back to the woman as memories or at least if she would've wanted to talk about it; but the whole fact that he had caused this upon her, maybe it wasn't the greatest of ideas.


All the while, back at the inn within Takara's own room. After questioning Mira about what she had done when she was over by his desk; just the fact that she was not uncomfortable and that she had thanked him for helping her out was enough to have him chuckle ever so slightly. Nodding his head right after before his attention was drawn towards the paper that the woman folded only to end up handing straight over towards him right after being told that it was just something she had drawn. As the ice duplicate had soon taken the piece of paper into his own grasp, he would soon unfold the sheet of paper to take witness as to what was drawn; noticing the picture of the forest along with the large pond and deer that had been there sipping from the water; Takara's own duplicate would be unable to help himself but to end up giving light 'ahs' and 'ohs' of awe out of the picture and how the lines were drawn as perfectly then anything he had normally seen before in a drawing. "W-wow Miss Mira. You truly are an amazing artist. It surprises me that you have not taken up your own possible idea of becoming an artist for a career."

The dragon nods and looks at you with respect. Fear glared at the lady and growled. You could see the anger radiating off of him. In a flash he had the girl by the neck and was dragging her along to Misery. "You sure? This should be somewhat interesting." Fear growled.

Khaleesi didn't mind being touched on the shoulder. Her hands, legs, and waist, along with her stomach and chest were the things she hated being touched. She turned her full body around and then fell to her own knees. Smiling at the inn keeper. "Mr. Takara. I swear to you everything is fine. If you would please rise. I don't like when people bow to me, but yes, I will bow no matter." She let out a soft sigh and then giggled, her wet hair dripped onto the forest floor, giving her a slight chill as the wind blew on her cold body. "I assure you, there is no reason you need to be sorry. No one knows but Lana, and really, she only knows a little bit of it." A small giggle was placed between her lips as she tried not to let her soft smile disappear. "The shoulder thing is fine... The hug was the thing that got me. I'm not used to it, and the memories, they come back in my sleep, when I eat... It's normal. Not completely all your fault." She said and then stood up, still looking at Mr. Takara. "Now... I know you're really busy, and I shouldn't have been the reason you came out here. I have no use, Even if I am a friend, I can be replaced. Please, I would like to stop bothering you on this fine night, and go back to my office..."

Takara Hiroji

Soon enough as the sudden sounds of how Khaleesi had also dropped to her own knees before him simply to try and stop the innkeeper from bowing in such a way. He would soon enough only slowly lift his gaze upwards ever slightly to take his glimpse onto her once more. Listening as to how the woman had stated that the only one who had known anything more then what others already knew was none other then the little helper of Khaleesi that had gone by the name of Lana. Of course, this was completely understandable considering how the two of them had acted around one another; seeming so very close to the point that it had seemed as though they were inseparable. Nodding only slightly to her words especially right as she had stated that the only real thing that really had bothered her was when Takara had given her the hug earlier; all the while, the touch upon her shoulder wasn't much of a problem all together.


Soon enough though, as Khaleesi had stood fully once more only to speak a statement that had even caused shock to fill the hues of the young innkeeper about how she could even be thought to be replaced, Takara had wasted no time to immediately jump immediately back up to his full height once more before placing both of his palms firmly upon her shoulders. The once usual kind smile across his lips practically gone into a much more stern but as well mixed in with deep concern at once. His gaze focused upon hers the entire time before he would even begin to say anything at all. "Khaleesi. Do not ever say that you can be replaced. You are a dear close friend that I can never replace. No one can be replaced...you are you and that is what makes you special. Never once would I ever even think of replacing you with anyone. Please...do not let your thoughts become clouded in darkness...But if anything, if you will return to the inn...I shall--" Right in the middle of his own sentence, as the innkeeper had spoken his words only to be halted by a deep unknown growl coming from behind him; the white haired male would only slowly turn his head over his shoulder towards the unknown noise at first.


Immediately as Takara had focused upon the noise behind him, the last thing the innkeeper would've ended up expecting was soon enough that strange creatures had decided to make their own appearance out from the very depths of the water itself. Both of the creatures that came out from the water growled as each of them had held upon weapons that had seemed to resemble the shape and size of what seemed to had been anchors to ships. These were also creatures of the night themselves, normally during the day; beings such as these would normally be found as nothing more then sleeping corpses but during the night, strangely they would always decide to reawaken from their slumber. The sight of them soon causing Takara to simply exhale a deep sigh as he would clench his own fists before finally turning to face them directly fully; keeping his back turned towards Khaleesi the entire time. "Khaleesi. Get back to the inn. The path should be safe as long as I can make enough noise to keep the other predators focused here. Get going." As he spoke, his voice would remain low enough just so that the other predators wouldn't immediately decide to make their appearance around them just yet. This was not going to be his night after-all, at this rate; he would have to most likely wait for the next day to be able to actually do battle against the guardians.

Khaleesi smiled at his words. She knew quiet well that she could be replaced, no matter what the inn keeper had said, nothing was really going to change her mind. She sighed lightly though, awaiting for his next words. Once the creatures had appeared, Khaleesi had squeaked and back up slowly. She knew how to fight, just wanted to seem more lady like in this matter. Once she was told to go back to the inn, the girl's eyes widened with worry and confusion. "With all do respect sir!!" Khaleesi said loudly and growled of her own. "I shall not leave. I can fight. I will fight. You are hurt and can't take on all these creatures at once. Sir. I'm staying!!" Khaleesi's foot was planted firmly on the ground as she watched the other creatures join the ones from the lake. She shivered lightly, her body moving quickly into her own wolf form and growled again, doing what seemed to be as protecting Mr. Takara. She wasn't in front of him, but was beside him, like a guard dog. Her low growls mimicked theirs as she stood on all fours, her tail whipped around in the cool air. She smiled brightly, looking at the creatures from the lake. No matter what, Khaleesi wasn't going to back down from a fight, and she wasn't going to let Mr. Takara fight on his own when he is wounded.

Mirage's eyes darkened as she heard his compliment. Being an artist brought back times that were better kept in the dark. She let out a small cry as the throbbing pain returned to her head. She shook as unwanted memories coursed through her vision and shuddered, placing her hand on the desk to steady herself.


"Could I get a drink?" she muttered, blinking rapidly. "The pain has come back again." Mirage chuckled softly, attempting not to grimace at the images flashing throughout her mind. She did not understand why her trauma decided to make itself much more prominent at this current moment, but there was nothing to be done about it.

[takki]

In sound commotion, Garry just left the girl's room to get a room from the innkeeper. He unsheathed his twin daggers, and tried to act natural. He went to the so-called Lotus Lake, one of the available services in the Lunar Lotus Inn. Garry saw a half-dressed girl walking towards the path. Garry didn't mind asking to her. Garry approached her and asked, Hello? Can you tell me where the innkeeper is?

 

[ZappiestAbyss]

"Her name is Pheonix. She's the creator of 'hope'..." He said as he continued to forcefully dragged the girl. She was calmly fixing her nails. Misery was still slumped over however the chains were gone.

[Stormyface]

The creator of hope... I shouldn't be surprised. If physical forms of natural forces can exist, why not abstract concepts?


Alagos kept silent. It didn't seem right to interrupt a family feud.

Takara Hiroji

Just as the two large creatures from the lake had made their own appearances before Takara and the dark haired woman by the name of Khaleesi, the white haired innkeeper had simply stood there with his fists clenched firmly. The creatures appearance had easily almost resembled that of the undead as they had groaned and soon began to swing the large anchors in their arms as though they had been prepared to throw it as their weapon. Attempting at the instant that the creatures appeared to get Khaleesi to return to the inn safely, once she had ended up stating that she would not leave him in his condition with these creatures and that she would fight as well; Takara wouldn't argue against her word as she had stood by his side to prepare for battle. Just as the two creatures had known well enough that both Takara and now the woman beside him were much stronger then just the two of them; their groans had only groan louder as multiple more had decided to make their own appearance as they had crawled out from the lake on several directions. Each of them groaning as they carried weaponry that had been similar to what mortals had considered 'pirates' such as swords, pistols, etc.


Watching as the strange creatures had easily outnumbered the two of them, although he hadn't fully thought about the whole fact; his own heart had soon began to start racing rapidly, the crystal he had received from the woman; Mira remaining in his pocket the whole while even so. Even as Takara may not had known it fully at the moment, the more his heart had raced and the more time he had wasted here; if this battle wouldn't be ended at least soon enough or at least as long as he didn't take too many increased injuries from this, he wouldn't need to worry about his curse deciding to make it's own welcome in the middle of this fight. Soon, as several moments had passed with both sides remaining still waiting for one to make a full move forward; the first to end up taking action had been none other then the first two creatures that had left the lake, both of them tossing their large anchors forward as it had seemed as though both of the two large metal anchors that had been covered in moss seemed to had been attached by some sort of rusted chain to make sure even once it made contact with anything, the creatures could pull them back.


Rather then letting such a large weapon come into contact with their himself or Khaleesi; the innkeeper simply watched as the metal projectiles had come forward before he immediately wasted none of his time to rush himself towards the falling anchors. Even through his wounds, Takara was easily able to still use his own chi or whatever he still had left built up to increase his own strength further then it had already been as it was. Quickly, by the time he had reached underneath where the anchors would be falling; Takara immediately went rocketing upwards into the air with a single jump simply to twist his body ever so slightly to one side only to end up putting his own chi into the base of his foot to end up kicking the anchor back towards the creatures; however, even if it had gone back, it seemed as though they had been strong enough to catch their own weapons with ease even if they had slid back slightly.


All the while, back at the inn and within his room still, after giving the woman the compliment; the last thing that Takara had expected to end up seeing was the instant the woman had gone off and let out a sudden cry of what had seemed like pain. His duplicate's own violet gaze had widen in shock as he had watched to how Mira had placed her own hand upon the table for help of steadying herself, gasping sharply; the instant she had asked for water and stating even that some sort of pain had returned to her once more. The ice duplicate had immediately nodded before rushing over to his own nightstand for the empty glass upon the counter, quickly circling his right finger over the top of the glass cup itself simply to fill it with the clean water of the very atmosphere around them rather then rush down into the kitchen for some water and return in case something in between that time period would happen. Immediately after gathering the water, he would extend the cup out to the woman in concern, attempting with his free arm to slightly direct her towards the bed once more for her to either sit or lay down. The only reason as to him not touching her was in case that he would cause any further pain by laying a finger upon her just as he was worried as to how he caused harm upon Khaleesi just from his touch by hugging her. "P-Please Miss Mira. Um...if you would like some help..it might be best you either sit or lay down.."

@Nathan22

Fear flung Pheonix onto Misery. Misery saw this and his eyes lit ablaze, it reminded you of an enraged mama wolf. Nearly a second after he smiled and picked up Pheonix and said "Hello there. You've been busy haven't you?" Pheonix replied with "Oh yes your highness I have been. Where's the boy?" "Oh you know with his mother. Now Fear do me a favor, let our poor sister go." With that red wings sprouted out of her back and she took off.

 

[Stormyface]

"Okay."

As Takara's duplicate conjured a glass of water by the nightstand, Mirage attempted to stay upright without completely blacking out. It was not until he suggested that she sit down that she realized standing would be much more taxing for her. "Thank you. And you may be right, I probably would be better off sitting down," Mirage replied, settling herself down on the chair she had just recently pushed in. She took the glass of water and drank slowly, wincing as her swallows hurt her head. She felt more refreshed and waved Takara's duplicate away.


"If you would not mind, I'd like a bit of space," she strained, unwilling to let him witness the fluctuations she would soon succumb to. If they were found out, her luck at helping him with his dilemma would surely dwindle, a thought that she did not want to come true.

[housekat]

Her short blonde bob now a messy bedhead, Shera came down from her room groggily. She had been sleeping for longer than she would have liked to. The magic had really exhausted her. Her hand came up to rub the lethargy out of her eyes and she walked toward a barstool. With that, she set down the large spell book and looked at specific pages. Some of the pages seemed to change depending on the time, so she hoped to catch one in action. So, the woman sat there, staring at a book as if it were to grow teeth or feathers.

 

[takki]

Garry walked away from the Lake, returning in the main lobby. He wanted to sleep again, but he just can't. Anyways, he has a solution for that. He merged with the shadows. After 10 seconds, he traveled in the shadows to the entrance of the inn outside. With that much time, he was exhausted that he might fall over. Shadow traveling takes a LOT of energy. Why does it have to take too much energy? He exclaimed. Garry entered the inn like nothing happened, his body slowly giving up, and fell asleep on the lobby couch.

 

[Nothingness]

Takara Hiroji

Standing there as the ice duplicate had watched as to how the woman drank the water from the cup; just the sight of her expression of the slightest bit of pain in her gaze would've caused concern in the duplicate's gaze of Takara. He would've questioned the woman what had happened and why she was experiencing this pain, however the thought that she would not wish to share such information with him had kept him from doing so. Soon enough, as the woman began to wave Takara's duplicate away and stated that she would like some time alone; he would've simply nodded his head through the best of his ability due to the painful strikes that his original state was being injured from time to time by the creatures of the lake during the night. "As you wish Miss Mira. If you require any assistance, you may simply call upon my name and I shall once more return." As the innkeeper had spoken, he would've simply placed his palm upon his abdomen before giving a deep respectful bow towards the woman until his entire image would immediately shatter into small pieces of snowflakes and leaving nothing else other then the small blue bird in return once again. The small creature chirping silently as it hopped around upon the floor before ending up opening up it's wings to help itself up to the desk that the woman was once sitting at just moments ago.


Although Takara had not spoken the words about it; that was not the only way for him to fully come back to the inn to help others, especially if they were within his room. The scythe and katana that had been rested within his closet had held the ability that if any type of dark or light energy were to leak into the room and disrupt the balance that was already within the room as it was; then the blades would surely begin to give off a powerful aura of their own to notify Takara wherever he would be by shocking his right arm with a quick jolt.


All the while, back at the lake's shore. As the creatures had constantly been coming up from the water to attempt their constant attacks upon the duo; Takara all the while had been constantly dodging from one side to the next to just barely avoid the attacks that the creatures had sent forward towards him and Khaleesi. Of course, no matter how quick he would've been to be able to knock down one after another with either his kicks or punches; there were times that he would be unable to be quick enough to avoid some of the attacks. Even if they were small scratches and wounds, they were still something and considering that he was still regenerating his energy currently as it was; this was just making time to heal all that much longer. Throughout the battle, as the time went on and on; the one thing that would've caught Takara off guard was the instant that he had immediately noticed as to how the nurse employee had immediately been struck at only to end up knocking her unconscious all of a sudden. The sight of this causing both of his own violet hues to widen in pure shock and concern as he gasped sharply at the sight. "K-Khaleesi!" Shouting out in concern and shock, the instant the sight of this had caught the young innkeeper's eyes along with as to how the creatures slowly but surely began to surround the unconscious woman. Takara had cursed silently to himself at his thought to have no choice but to use such a dangerous power next to those he cared about. This was no time to debate though, without a second thought; as the surrounding area of the lake had immediately once turned from it's pitch darkness of the night and the sounds of battle raged on throughout he rest of them. In a mere instant, all that was left was silence; the animals of the night, the sounds of the creatures groaning and weapons being thrown and such, even the water that slightly moved went all silent.


All that had been seen left within Takara's place was nothing more then a black silhouette of his former self as the creatures each halted their movements only to turn their attention fully upon the male before them. The closet within Takara's room all the while shock and trembled as it gave off a purplish and black glow from the edges of the door constantly. This only lasting moments as Takara had held upon a silhouette form of the scythe within his grasp at the lake; without so much as a single word leaving his lips. A single swing of the black blade itself practically slicing each of the creatures surrounding the area in two before the entire area itself would return back to it's normal state; leaving the innkeeper panting for breath as he soon attempted to make his way over towards where the unconscious Khaleesi had laid, helping her into his embrace to the best of his own ability, simply to carry her back to the inn with as much of his strength left as possible. All the while, the remains of the creatures that Takara had once just sliced had been nowhere to be seen by now; this being due to the attack he had done had not only killed the creatures but sent them into a completely separate area due to the blade itself. By this point, the closet would've finally halted it's constant trembling and shaking.

[Azerothii]

"........." Momo looked up in the sky silently as he heard a noice rising far from his left. It sounded like a battle, and a very dangerous one too. Originally, he was doing his forest duties when he decided to wander for awhile. His small glowing lantern swaying softly from his staff as he continued to walk to his left and towards the lake. After a brief glance at the lake, he remained silent and left again to wonder.

​

 

[ZappiestAbyss]

Fear and Misery started to walk to the bar as if nothing happened. They waved bye to Alagos and walked inside. They walked up to Fears room and fell asleep.

[Mirage]

Mirage




Mirage watched as the man's duplicate departed from the room, and heaved a sigh of relief when he had closed the door. To her surprise, the closet began shaking rapidly and she looked at it with curiosity. However, it was not her place to roam around Takara's room without his permission to do so. Mirage suspected it had something to do with the rapid flashing of the crystal attached to her neck that monitored Mr. Hiroji's vitals. He seemed to be in trouble, and thus Mirage tapped into the device and, with great pain, watched the scene unfold. The nurse from some time before had been rendered unconscious and Mr. Hiroji himself had conjured a deadly specimen from dark magic. Mirage smirked, knowing full well that this was the ability he had attempted to keep at bay and the reason he was failing his attempts to prove himself. She winced as she was rapidly brought back to reality. Her mind would not leave her alone. She allowed herself succumb to the pain her mind had induced on her, spectating as images of her danced across the room, leaving numerous shadows in their wake. Tendrils of light whisked around her, pulsing as they engulfed her in a blinding spectacle. Mirage struggled as her breath was knocked out of her, hey eyes closed as she endured the memories flashing through her head.


"Stop!," she cried out. The lights within the room darkened and all was black but the light surrounding her.

[Yura]

Tired and looking slightly weary and worn, Yura walked down the long road that led eventually to the Lunar Lotus Inn. "A Inn? Augh...Might be a good idea.." He said to himself flinching about a wound on his wrist from being attacked by a stray brigand. Luckily he escaped and began making his way eventually knocking on the door of the inn looking quite nervous mingling his fingers together. "Oh goodness...I hope these people are friendly.."He said to himself shyly not knowing who would be the one to answer the door of the seemingly odd Inn.

 

[takki]

Garry woke up. From the quiet atmosphere in the lobby, he heard a knock on the door. Garry stood up and opened up. He saw a boy, an outsider. So, hello. By the way, the Innkeeper still isn't back and I am waiting to get my key... Come on in. Garry chimed. He welcomed the boy on the inn which he was weary about.


@Yura

 

[Yura]

Yura looked shyly to the stranger moving into the inn. He looked quite nervous as if he was afraid which was understandable considering the events prior to his arrival. "So um..when the innkeeper comes...can I speak with them? I had a bit of a..well a unfortunate run in with a vagabond." he said frowning lightly looking away.

 

[Stormyface]

Alagos wandered back into the inn.


What a day. Arguing about Mimic rights with that fairy, Fear and Misery... It reminds me of home. I wonder if everyone else made it out okay... Eril, Ruin, Galenasson, Tirnel...
