Skye Prower

"Oooooh, fog would be awesome!" grinned Melody. ------------ "I... the last thing I remember... was looking for my parents," said Miles, sounding confused. ----------- Zark nodded with a smile, and went hunting for one.

"It should do!" giggled Melody. "I wonder if there is anything else we can add?" ------------ Miles sat there staring at Zamy and the others for a moment, as if trying to place them. "Z... Zamy?" he asked, the clutched at his head. ---------- Zark gave a sigh of relief as they got back, and wore a 'I need a shower' expression.

"Indentured service was the usual payment, but we always agreed the terms beforehand," said Keznerib. ----------- "Here we go!" said Zoe, moving in to make a few slow attacks. ---------- "yeah! I can't wait to see the look on Skye face." ---------- "Mom? Dad?" asked Miles as his eyes opened and he looked around. "Who...? Where...?" He shrank back in the bed.

Happy Birthday Lino! Hope it's a good day!

"As I said, I performed deals with people. They would do a task for me. If successful, I granted them a boon. If not, they were made to pay. Some called that evil," said Keznerib. ---------- "Ready?" asked Zoe. ----------- "Great. You'll get a grand view of the show!" grinned Melody. ----------- "I hope it doesn't come to that!" said Anna. Miles gave a heartfelt cry of "MOM!", laid still for a moment, then began to stir, eyes slowly flickering open.

"Some people called what I did 'evil'," said Keznerib, watching their reactions. ------------ "Okay, I'll take a few slow attacks, and you defend, okay?" ----------- "No problem Hope," said Melody. ----------- "I'm trying, " said Anna. "He won't wake." "Mom... dad.... Mommy? Daddy?" sobbed Miles. "Where are you? Where have you gone? I don't wanna be alone.... MOM? DAD?"

"Great. I'll just write a couple more spells quickly," said Melody. ------------ "No, it doesn't...." Harmony stuck her head round the door. "What's happening in there?" Miles was still crying.

"You think so?" Kexnerib asked. ----------- "Still, I want to see it, then we can work from there," said Zoe.

"I don't doubt it!" grinned Melody. ---------- "Thank's Zamy," smiled Harmony. Miles was starting to cry in his sleep.

"The ability to wield magic, and shape it to your will. I was able to make a nice profit dealing in magical trinkets. And many people were willing to make deals for magical rewards." ---------- "Yeah, they are really well crafted. Far better than I expected. Okay then, show me what you've got so far!" said Zoe. ------------ "DOn't worry, they won't. But... better make sure there's nothing within ten feet of you, just in case something goes wrong. Oh, and I'll add details for making a protection circle, a really powerful magical forcefield!" ---------- "Yeah, sorry, I was being a bit think there," said Harmony. Anna sat on the side of the bed and shook Miles, but he didn't wake. "They were mean to me Mom! They said I was a freak for having two tails."

"That was the reason they imprisoned me. That, and many were suspicious iof those with Arcane power. Though happy enough to take advantage of it!" ---------- "Okay, I think there's a set here. And they feel well weighted too!" Zoe handed the set to Sarah. ----------- "Actually, I thought it might be a good learning experience. Trying to tell what a spell will do before casting, based on the words and the feel of the magic," said Melody. ------------ "That's good... that it wasn't Miles I mean. Not that you got hurt," said Harmony. Anna stuck her head round Miles door. "Miles?" "I don't wanna play with Sonic, he's mean," muttered Miles, still alseep

"Because I refused to share my secret of immortality with the young prince," said Keznerib. ------------- "With the Katars?" asked Zoe.

"Okay...." Melody giggled. "I won't even write down what these spells DO then!" ------------ "I think I should talk with him, clear the air," said Anna. "Wait... Zamy, what happened to you?" asked harmony as she spotted the bandage. "Miles didn't..."

"Right. Any kinda spell you want?" asked Melody. ---------- "It's... worth a try I guess," said Anna

Melody smiled. "Maybe I'll add a couple more spells to your book while you work." ------------ "Explain it?" asked Anna.

"I know Hope, don't worry!" said Melody. ------------ "Yeah, I guess," said Anna, still a little upset. ----------- "You are confident for such a young child," said the figure. "My name is Keznerib. As you may have guess, I am a power practitioner of the Arcane arts. How long I was entombs for, I cannot say. It is hard to judge time in an enforced sleep." ---------- "So... which ones shall we train with?" asked Zoe. ---------- Skye went back to the kitchen,. (Poor Dylan)

"No rush Hope, I'm not in a hurry to get home," said Melody. ---------- "Uh... i just came to make sure Anna got here," said Harmony. "I don't need to stay." But she came to the door anyway. "He's still... not happy with the new me?" asked Anna sadly as she walked in. "Mumbling in his sleep? that doesn't sound like him."

Heh, nothing wrong with asking!

"Cool. Anything else?" Melody asked. ------------ "I... I wanted to make sure Miles was okay. He... was acting a little weird today," said Anna. "I... wasn't gonna come... but..." "But I told her she should go!" called up Harmony from further down the stairwell. Miles was still mumbling.

Banned because looks like you had fun!

Darn, I haven't read the other comics in a while....

"I'm a cop, that's my job," said Ziona. "Ensuring people obey the law." "Hmm, separation of enforcing and warfare. Interesting," said the figure, then he looked at Domicin. "Very well, but how would you know what I was saying is the truth?" ----------- Zoe pulled out a small metal rod from her pocket, pressed it into the lock, and a few manipulations later, the door slid open, revealing a massed array of all sorts of weaponry. ---------- Skye sighed. "Goodbye Dylan. Just don'#t hide in your room for s long we all forget you. We miss you, and we're worried." ----------- "Sure thing," said Melody, rushing over to the cupboard and back with the box. ---------- "I saw my Uncle again today Dad. What does... "a..pren...tiss" mean?" murmured Miles. ----------- Anna looked around nervously, before knocking on the door to Zamy and Miles' apartment.

Banned because Wow you guys have been busy!

I don't know how the rules go in this, but my own feeling is, unless everyone is a Deity, Gods and Goddesses shouldn't be player characters. Maybe under the control of the playing running the game, but that's it. Otherwise, it can quickly become Deus Ex Machina taken to the extreme. Not to mentioned unbalanced. But that's just my opinion.

"Can I help?" asked Melody. ------------ "Why isn't it safe to go to the park now?" murmured Miles
