[COLOR=darkblue][i]Lupos looked around and there was no sight of Espa's aura, or that of Fong's.[/i] Lupos: Fong, are you leading me on a wild goose chase? Liam: Where else could they be? Lupos: Last time I saw Espa was at the herbal shop... Liam: What are we waiting for?! [i]Liam and Lupos got inside one of the cars and sped off, with the pedal to the floor, back to Fong's herbal shop. There, they saw Fong and Espa waiting outside...[/i] Lupos: Where have you been? Espa: We've been here for quite some time... Liam: We should get back...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: The others? Iris: They'll be here... Chole: Where are we? Iris: Night couldn't see...just dry land, at least. Chole: ...*looks down* Iris: tsk...oh Chole. Chole: Don't get so close... Iris: Why not? Chole: All that I've cared about...anyone that I've been close to...they die. Iris: But that was the past... Chole: No... Iris: Then would be better off alone? Chole: No one is better off alone. I'm just saying that...I'm better off not getting too attached to someone. Iris: When did you realize that? Chole: A few days ago...when you kissed me on the forehead. Iris: So how do you know I'll get hurt? Chole: I don't know...it's just that my parents...relatives, Ten... Iris: I'm not any of them...I'm just a normal girl working in an orphanage. No one knows who I am except the kids I take care of... Chole: Perhaps you're right... Iris: It's okay... [i]Chole closed his eyes and a tear fell. Iris caught it with the palm of her hand. The blueish-white glow of the moon reflected off of the drop. His tear never dispersed, it stayed round, like a jewel. Then, it finally hit her...Chole was just a misguided person in it all. He didn't have to live with Ten at the laboratory. Siren commited him there and told him it was for the best. Chole didn't have to escape Meteo City with the others and look blindly for the Cristal. They weren't even sure that Meteo City was in any type of danger, even if what she saw suggested that. But most importantly, she and Chole never had to get themsleves dragged into all of this. They could have just ran away to Celes or some faraway place and lived in peace. But now it was all too late and they would have to finish their journey, wherever it took them.[/i] Chole: Iris... Iris: What is it? Chole: It's okay... Iris: What's okay? Chole: Heh...I can read your thoughts clear as day... Iris: *blush* Oh! Chole: Giving it a little thought of it myself...I think you're right...I didn't have to live a life like this. But it would be running away from the truth...and betraying our own. Iris: You always know that...even though our kind might be in danger, we're not! We're safe! And as long as the few of us are still living, our species still lives. Half-human, half-animal. Chole: *sits up* There still might be a way... Iris: There's always another way! [i]Iris hugged Chole tightly. He pushed her arms away...[/i] Iris: Eh, Cho... Chole: It's okay... [i]Chole turned around and hugged Iris. Her eyes opened wide with his surprise and they slowly closed as, Chole's eyes were, and they collapsed to the ground in a sweet relase of energy...[/i] Iris/Chole: :sleep: [i]~Back at open sea[/i] Liam: Where could they have gone? Siren: Not far, hopefully... Rena: Iris! Rev: Don't worry, we'll find them... Pi: It's getting really dark...maybe we should set up camp at one of the islands here... Liam: Knowing Night...they must've already reached the peninsula by now. Siren: Can't worry too much about that...we know that they're alive somewhere. It'll just take time... [i]Pi used his nightvison to locate a good and safe spot to spend the night. They slid their boat up the sand and set up a campfire. They were all cold from the underwater dive...cold, but still alive. Huddled by the small fire, one by one, they slowly fell asleep under the full glow of the moon.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Iris and Chole got up on Night and they flew away. Wet and tired, Night took them away. High above the skies, Chole started crying...cold...nowhere to go...The others got on the boats with Siren and Pi at the helm. They floated on, also tired and weary, unknown of their next destination...even Siren was unsure of their fate...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Saron looks around her stacks and stacks of books with her hand on her chin...[/i] Saron: Hmmm... Seph: Well? Saron: I normally don't carry those types of books since...well...I don't really believe in raising the dead. Chole: Have you ever tried before? Saron: Oh, I've tried...and I didn't like it. Karu: Well, what happened? Saron: I don't wanna talk about it...but it wasn't pleasent. Karu: Oh...but do you have any books on it? Saron: No....not here. Sephiroth: *falls down* Ugh. Saron: But I know of a person who might...he's not what you would call, "bright" but he gets the job done. Chole: Where is he? Saron: Further north...in the Zolem region...mostly marshlands and crap like that. Karu: You think it's worth the risk? Seph: To get back Jasmine...I'd do it. Chole: Okay...let's go then! Saron: I warn you that it's not a friendly place.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]In a panic, Chole and Kool went inside the hut and scrambled to get the supplies...[/i] Kool: Hurry! Chole: Why, it's just a fish... Kool: Oh...with the supplies we took, umm...it looks like we're treating some one who got shot. Chole: Oh well, I guess the sooner we clean up the fish, the better. Kool: You're not going to eat that thing, are you? I mean, you are an accomplished fisherman. Chole: I know... Kool: Good... [i]Chole and Kool come out of the hut, carrying nothing.[/i] Rex: Hey, I thought we were gonna clean the fish? Chole: *grabs fishing net* Rex: Oh...[/COLOR]

OOC: Shoot...I'm stuck...I dunno, I guess I blew this RPG out of proportion. If you guys have any good ideas. PM me...

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: It's alright...we just need a place for her to stay. Liam: Manfort's just over the hill, I can make out the towers. Chole: Then we still have a long ways to go. No time to rest. Aeon: Well, maybe my sister... Chole: There has to be another way to stop this. Aeon: There isn't... Chole: If we look for the dragon, it could take forever...and even if we do find it...how would we know it's the right one. Aeon: Then there's no real way. Chole: Sh-t... [i]As they broke the clearing of the forest, they saw the huge city of Manfort. Bustling and crowded with people and tall buildings, it was the perfect place for information and supplies.[/i] Liam: Wow...it's been a while. Chole: Look there...before that... [i]The group looked down the hill, before Manfort and noticed a crowd of horses and people gathering. Off to the side was a fairly large inn with crowds of people moving in and out.[/i] Aeon: Let's stop there... Chole: Yeah, I don't think Viper could take anymore jolts from being carried. Liam: I wonder if there's any room left though... Chole: Well, if there isn't, we can always reserve one, right? Aeon: Or cause an uproar... Chole: Hey, even better... [i]They trudged down the hill as fast as they could with Chole being careful not to shake up Viper.[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Everyone raises thair hands...[/i] Chole: Not everyday do you find a pig on a tropical island. Iris: You'd be surprised where they could live. Chole: I don't wanna think about it. Kool: Over here Iris...lemme fix it up! [i]Iris tosses the pig over to Kool, who takes her pole and rams it through the pig's rear end, through it's mouth.[/i] Liam: Oooohhh...that is gross! Kool: You dont' know how to slaughter? Liam: Not like that... Kool: You wanna eat it, right? Liam: Okay, fine...I won't get in your way. Kool: That's better. [i]Kool rotates the pig and slices it's belly open, letting the intestince and excess blood fall into the open flames, creating a strange smell..[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Siren: Let's go to Night... [i]The group climbed up on the lower strut supports and they dried off in the cold weather.[/i] Chole: Is it okay? Iris: C'mon...I owe you! [i]Chole hesitateed and starts shivering, turning blue. Siren and Liam get up, but Iris was already coming to his aid.[/i] Night: Is Chole...cold? Liam: Poor kid...we shouldn't have let him carry Iris... Siren: But he was the only one who could hold his breath for unusually long times. Pi: How do you kno...nevermind... Siren: Yeah...I know Chole more than most people. [i]Chole lay down on the ground, huddled in a fetal postion. Iris wrapped her body around him, like a mother deer keeping her young warm during a harsh winter storm. Chole started to cry...[/i] Chole: The cold...it hurts. [i]Everyone gathered around Chole, leding all the heat they could give while they watched as Iris took good care of him.[/i] Siren: He's never been exposed to such cold tempratures before. Pi: And I thought Meteo City was cold at night. Night: Heh... Siren: If he doesn't get warm soon...he might die. Rena: Mmmm... Iris: I'm not gonna let him die. Chole: Thanks...I...I...I...ris... [i]Chole clinged on tightly to Iris' body, trying hard to absorb all the heat she was giving him. He started to turn from blue to a pale white. Then his healty light brown skin in a few hours.[/i] Liam: Good job Iris... [i]Iris unwrapped her lying body from Chole's and to her surprise, he was sleeping...[/i] Siren: Ha...cute... Night: So where do we go from here? Siren: I know of a peninsula east just half a mile from here...Night...you take Iris and Chole. I'll take Rena and Roux for flight. Be resourceful...take those boats docked over there and we'll meet you there.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Daybreak...Aeon was the first to wake...he gathered all of his items and woke up the others.[/i] Liam: Day already? How long did we stay up? Aeon: I don't know...but it'd be a good idea to hit the road before we starve... [i]Aeon knelt by Chole, who was holding Viper. He shook him.[/i] Chole: Ugh... Aeon: Sleep well? Viper: Mmm... Chole: Hey Viper... Aeon: Let's go... [i]Chole slides up, helping Viper up to her feet.[/i] Viper: Morning... [i]Viper takes out a bottle of water and splashes it all over herself. She washes her face and hair...tying it into a neat tail.[/i] Chole: ... Viper: What?! I'm a woman! Chole: okay... [i]Aeon grasps Chole's neck and whispers into his ear.[/i] Aeon: Know this...you break your heart, I'll break your neck. Chole: Kay... Liam: Huh? Viper: Ready? Aeon: *puts down Chole* Okay...let's hit the road![/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole comes back to the camp with an armful of bananas and mangoes.[/i] Chole: I'm done! :D Kool: great! we've got desserts. Liam: It's a lot better than playing around with Iris... Sere: How'd that happen anyway? Liam: *shrugs* Rex: Beats me on how she could start liking someone as innocent as Chole. Chole: well... Kool: I don't think he's that innocent anymore. [i]After a good laugh...they get a large fire started and Kool begins to cook the maggots while Sere and Chole slice and dice the fruits.[/i] Rex: So us men just stand by and watch? Kool: Well, you could get Iris...she's a bit late...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole opened his eyes and saw Siren's green glow. He started swimming toward it, kicking, careful not to hit Iris. The others passed by him and surrounded them, protecting them from something up ahead.[/i] Chole: (Damn...I wonder what it is?) Iris: (It's probably nothing...don't get me hyped up...I might drown...) [i]Chole swam higher, trying to get a better view...he couldn't see anything except the group and Siren in the lead. Then it hit him...the group was waiting for him to swim in between them.[/i] Iris: (Chole!) [i]Iris starts taping his stomach...but with his heavy swimming, he could barely feel it...When he stopped in the center, he could feel Iris convulsing and her body was pressed tightly, begging for air.[/i] Chole: OH!!! [i]Chole quickly opens his mouth and presses his lips against Iris' asking her to open up so he could give her life...She slowly opened up. Chole tilted his head and sealed his lips against hers. He exhaled, giving whatever oxygen he could spare. Iris' eyes opened and she inhaled with all her strength. Chole broke the lock and positioned himself to carry Iris again. Iris closed her eyes and hung on to Chole tightly, knowing that he had saved her life. Siren signaled and swam ahead. They could see a bright light and they swam faster. Siren was the first to pop her head out of the water, followed by the rest of the group, speeding past Iris and Chole. Chole surfaced slowly, making sure Iris' head was clear above the water before his was. They let out all the used up air inside them and took another breath.[/i] Chole: *gasp*!!! Siren: Are you two okay? Chole: Yeah... Iris: Thanks to Chole... Pi: *looks around* There's Night and the kids! C'mon![/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Hey, impromtu poetry...lol j/k ~~~~~~ If I lost you I wouldn't know what to do Would I mourn? Or continue on with my life? Forever, I promise you That I'll never forget The happy and sad moments we've spent. We're a long ways away, Surrounded by sorrow and sin. But I know in my heart That we can win Come whatever. I'll stick with you Friend or against. I want to be with you In my times of need... In your arms My tears rain down, my soul bleeds. I need your comfort I need your love I need someone to understand my pain... [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: You know, that guy reminded me of Ultros... Karu: Who? Chole: Ultros...a purple talking octopus...back in an old book I read somewhere. They could kick it's áss, but it kept coming back. Sephiroth: So what you're saying is that it's immortal. Chole: Well...it couldn't be one and the same, Ultros is just a legend. Karu: But we don't know enough about this world to say that it's true. Chole: Yeah, maybe you're right...the magic carpet was strange enough. Sephiroth: How much longer does this river last...I'm getting real tired of getting wet. Chole: Bear with it...it's only a few more miles... Sephiroth: Grr... [i]A red glow came from his eyes...blood was rushing to his head. An after effect of the poison and the rage from his lover's death...[/i] Karu: We'll get it...don't worry. [i]Chole sat down, crosslegged. He knew the creature was long gone. But now that they knew what to look for in the water. They would be ready, the next time it chose to mess around with them.[/i] Sephiroth: After this...what are we gonna run into? Chole: Land...mostly tropics until we go further north. Karu: Well, your sword'll come in handy. [i]Their boat travels for another hour until they hit a fork in the stream. Karu guides it straight, hitting the mud softly. They all got off, avoiding the slime and water and climbed up a small hill and entered the canopy.[/i] Karu: Strange place. Chole: *watches as strange birds he's never seen before fly by* Sephiroth: Even stranger creatures... Chole: Gyro sensors are pointing north, straight ahead... Karu: Okay... [i]They began walking through the serene forest floor, the sun penetrating through the thick leaves, making streaks of light in their path. Exotic animals watch the three pass by. Sephiroth screams at them a couple times and they tease back...[/i] Chole: ha! Looks like they have a mind of their own here. Karu: Let's hope there aren't any serial killer animals on the loose... Sephiroth: Very funny...*flips off a chimpanzee* [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole starts gathering fruit from the trees up above...[/i] Chole: Hmmm...I wonder about the cannibals... Iris: Forget them...they know we can kick their ásses! Chole: Alright...hey, catch! *throws a banana* Iris: Ugh! *jumps up and catches it* Hey, I'm going to catch some maggots if anyone else wants some. Chole: Alright...later... Iris: *blows a kiss* Chole: :) [COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]OOC: Nu-uh...your posts have got to be more than one sentence...therefore, this is considered spam...sorry*click*[/COLOR]

A prisoner in her own home? Maybe she did something bad in the past, or her parents are really strict...I'd say that's normal for say...a pre-teen...it isn't wise to break away from your parents at such an early age if that's true.

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole pickes her up to support her head...[/i] Chole: Are you out of your minds? Has living for so long, corrupted your thinking? I may not have lived as long as you or anyone else, but I do know that DragonHearts were victims of dragons, spared to live longer, thinking about their lives. Aeon: That's not true! The dragons have given us a gift to live a long life! Chole: Aeon, can you remember, the exact details on how you and yoru sister became alone? Aeon: ... Chole: It's been a while, hasn't it? Aeon: We were the only survivors... Chole: How, did you survive? Aeon: I- I don't know...I can't remember... Chole: I was told why a person becomes a dragonheart long ago... Aeon: But still, I believe that they spared us because the dragons thought that we were worthy. Chole: Believe what you want...how many scars have you endured this past century alone? How much hardship have you and your sister taken from the slowly evolving world or sin and hatred? Aeon: Then what should we do next!?!? Chole: Keep travelling...Viper's suffering because of the dragon...that's proof alone. Liam: Head east? Chole: What's there? Liam: A huge city...of Manfort. Chole: I've crossed it once...just to resupply...you think someone there might know of dragons? Liam: I have no idea...I haven't heard of any villages or towns being decimated by them. Chole: They might have a library of events... Aeon: When morning breaks...let my sister rest.[/COLOR]

OOC: Yup, I think Dragonhearts and HV3 are the only RPG's that we're not doing anything. ~~~~~~~~~~ [i]Surprisingly enough, Chole doesn't laugh as Iris works her way from his lips, down to his chest, and resting on his stomach.[/i] Iris: How long has it been? Chole: Since what? Iris: We were in this hut? Chole: Umm*looks at sun* around 3 hours. Iris: Three HOURS!? Chole: Well...if I'm reading the sun right... Iris: Oh well... [i]Iris wraps her arms around Chole's waist and hugs him tightly.[/i]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Cellular phone rings.[/i] Lupos: Yeah? Fong: Lupos, if you're looking for Espa...she's at HQ...resting soundly in Siren's quarters. Lupos: Okay, got it...thanks *click* [i]Lupos calls Siren and Liam.[/i] Siren: What's up? Lupos: Espa's at HQ...c'mon! Liam: Don't push it...now that we've found her, just relax. Lupos: Okay... [i]Lupos guns the engine instead, throwing up ashpalt in all directions.[/i] Siren: Sh-t...he's gonna loose his cool. Liam: Don't worry...that's just his way of driving. Siren: I hope your right about that. [i]Liam and Siren drive side by side back to centeral L.A. following Lupos' tire tracks.[/i] Lupos: (Espa...I'm sorry...) [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: Who's Moon? Iris: Just someone in the skies that I pray to. Chole: Oh, I see... Siren: You two...follow my lead. [i]Siren zips her jacket up to the neck and sinks into the water, hanging over the edge.[/i] Siren: Grrr...cold! Liam: Umm... Rev: *dips into the water* Okay...! I can take it!!! Pi: C'mon, Liam...*pushes him into the water* Liam: Ahh!!! Pi: Ha! *jumps in the hole.* Chole: ready Iris? You're body isn't going to be battered or broken...maybe just exhausted. Iris: Be sure to give me breaths! I can't hold mine that long, being a deer. Chole: Okay, got it... [i]Iris jumps on Chole's back without difficulty. Iris didn't weigh that much, nothing Chole couldn't handle. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs hung behind him.[/i] Siren: hehe, cute. Chole: Umm...okay, Ready? Iris: Okay. [i]Chole slowly dips into the water, careful to keep Iris' head above.[/i] Chole: Uhh...it is cold! Iris: Don't let me down. Chole: Let's get out as soon as possible. Pi: Night's waiting for us just under the struts...none of the inhabitants go there since it's tricky. Meaning, it's freezing...but we can keep warm. Siren: Let's go! [i]Siren dives under, followed by Pi, Liam, and Rev.[/i] Iris: Go Chole! Before they leave us! Chole: mmmm...:( [i]Chole and iris take a deep breath and dive into the darkness, with only Pi's flare and Siren's glow guding them both...[/i][/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: I can hold my breath...I have...well, big lungs. So I guess I'd be the person who'll give Iris breaths. Iris: Oh...okay... Siren: We don't have much time, Night's waiting... [i]They continue down the pipes, until they reach a dead end with a pool of seawater in the center.[/i] Pi: This should be it...the probe mapped it up to here. Liam: *takes deep breaths* Siren: Strech your lungs...we're gonna need all the air avalible for this... [i]They gather around the pool and take deep breaths. Chole looks down at the pool.[/i] Chole: Iris... Iris: Yeah? Chole: Just hang on to me and hold your breath...I'll do the rest. If you're running out of air, tap me on my stomach. Iris: You're not ticklish? Chole: It'll loosen me up so I can breathe into you... Iris: Alright, so I hang onto you... Chole: Yeah...[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Chole: They're not your kin...a dragonheart is a person who drinks the venom of a dragon mixed with the blood of a human. Aeon: That maybe...but we're products of that... Chole: You don't have to be...you can end all of this, by defeating the dragon that destroyed your lives. Liam: If there's more than one? Chole: WE take all of them on. Aeon: Isn't that plain stupid? Chole: Ugh...I know it might seem pointless...but there is a possibility that we might right the wrongs. Liam: Noble...but still...how? Chole: I don't know...but maybe if we keep traveling and fighting, we might find a way.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]I'm blind. I'm naive. I try To find meaning for you, for me. But I mean nothing. Wrapped around in a noose. Made up of heavy-duty string. Can you stop me? No. Can you feel me? Not really. Could I find the consequences to make me grow weary? But I'll never be a fool and I'll always be the one who'll be loveless shameless, like you. You've taken advantage of me physically and mentally screaming nightmares shouting happily at my broken and choking mind. If I followed blind, who will be the one to catch me if I fall, fail, or run? I've fallen too many times Gotten lost, but I'm still alive. But if I stray away... Would you care if I died? [/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue][i]Chole skin became red and painful. But he didn't mind it, as long as he was helping someone in need...[/i] Chole: It's okay...DragonWeather's always been a problem, especially now. It's getting stronger and stronger for some reason. Viper: It's so hard...the dragon didn't kill my mother so I don't have anyone to blame or put my vengance on! Chole: You can always put the blame on them! They're the ones who bring on the bad weather, they're the ones who f-k up the villages, and they're the ones who brwing on the pillagers and theives. Aeon: Fuzzy logic... Chole: But it makes sense. Viper: Just... Chole: Okay, okay...don't worry...it's safe here, you're with friends. Just... Liam: *sits down and starts playing with his knife* Aeon: *takes out a piece of parchment and his pen. He sits down and begins to write.* [i]Chole held Viper close. She didn't feel so weak anymore, but her tears showed otherwise, making her face turn red with pain, her skin peeling. Chole held her head close to his chest, absorbing all her sadness into his clothing. It went about throughout the night. Liam and Aeon prepared camp inside the cave while Chole let Viper rest in his arms...[/i][/COLOR]
