Dante Draconia Windwalker Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 ::::Blue was tired as he settled down at the dining room table in his parent's house and began to write in his journal. He found that keeping a daily journal of his life kept him sane and allowed him to more easily analyze what was going on in his life so he could make those split second decisions without having to worry about collateral damage. His mother was resting easily and he had already checked on her a few times. He had a full meal on a plate in the oven which he could easily heat up when she awoke. He watched as his brother paced back and forth across the living room. He was making it impossible for Blue to focus as he paced and mattered to himself.:::: ::::In his room Saint was worried about his twin sister and where she was. He was actually kinda envious of his sister and her adventure. She was probably having a great time and he was stuck in his room with his overbearing older brothers and they would never let him do anything. He was supposed to be cleaning up his room but in his anger over being treated like a baby he had broken the handle.:::: ::::Star was asleep but having horrible nightmares. She dreamt of never seeing Nova again and then she dreamt of Saint killing Nova. She couldn't wake up and she was going crazy. Star lunged upright and roared so loud she had surely been heard at the castle. She was disoriented and shaken but she was awake. She wasn't sure how she had gotten home and into her bed when she had last been in the Crystal Desert with Siren. She tried to get ahold of herself and some control. She didn't want her mind to snap and cause her to become Deathstar.::: :::Dante heard the roar as it had pretty much knocked him off his feet. He got up and motioned his brother back down as he was writing in his diary. 'Tell your diary which girl in cuter at the militants settlement and I will take care of mom and check on Saint. He he as been too quiet and hope they were able to rouse Dad because I am going to need his help if mom goes rogue again.'. He wasn't looking forward to this rodeo as he headed down the hall to his parents room.:::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptdragon9 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 (Ashmire is still at the Bar but....) It must have been a trek for the Old Lady. Normally she would be hanging out at the Bar, but the temporal flux had given her a wave of the chills and a sneezing fit. Luckly she hadn't been in the Bar when it belched. So she had gone looking for her charge. The fact that he'd blown off a week's worth of lessons was irksome enough, but she'd been forced to use one of the teleports to get to the Cave, nevermind the small hike from the pad to the mouth of the cave. She arrived just in time to hear the uproar, and the literal roar, inside. Setting her jaw she took her staff and rapped at the door.....

Dante Draconia Windwalker Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 :::: Blue got up and answered the door and seeing the old woman arched a brow but allowed her to enter. He led her into a spacious and surprisingly clean living room and asked her to make herself comfortable before the fireplace before walking off into a huge cavern and fetching his brother who was tending to their mother who was beside herself over her missing daughter as she trembled and silently cried buckets of tears. Star was trying to stay calm but this was her baby , dammit and she wanted her home where she was safe.::: ~Saint picked up the scent of the old woman and made his way to the living room. He peered over the arm of the couch and looked at the old woman and gave her one of those cute kid smiles while looking around for either of his brothers that might shoo him off before he sat down on the couch and asked her in his high pitched little voice....;Who are you? Are you here to find Nova too? I miss my sissy. Mom is very sad and worried. Please don't be mad about the noise. She will be ok. I hope." After his explanation he looked at the woman again and canting his head he seemed to be looking into her soul before he shook his head and then scrambling down he ran off into the cavern hollering for Dante.::::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptdragon9 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 The old lady first took stock in Blue, perhaps assessing the power/talent/merrit of Dante's littermate. It wasn't often that she had a chance to see the Militant's choice by himself. If she approved of his schooling she didn't show it, instead taking stock of the house as she had never been here and it was very hard to tell if she was being judgemental or not. Dante would know that she wasn't, but then facial emoting wasn't one of her strong suits. She did raise a brow at Saint, looking around a bit to make sure she wasn't seen before making a silly face at Saint, squinting her eyes and sticking out her toungue before smiling at the boy, then her face falling back to that stern look. "I wouldn't worry about your sister," she intoned, perhaps as comforting as she could muster. "We do this all the time. Vanish and reappear. Come and go. It's what we do." When Saint left, she settled down, waiting to see what would happen next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Draconia Windwalker Posted March 20 Author Report Share Posted March 20 ~ Muted chatter could be heard before Dante entered the living room and gave his teacher a beautiful smile. "Hey Old Woman, you gonna sit there or help me keep this emotional powder keg from exploding?" Dante was actually relieved his mentor was there. She would help him out with what to do and he could keep up with his learning. Saint could probably be motivated by her more easily too. She seemed to have a way with children. His golden eyes were slightly glowing letting her know he was currently using his rex like talents to keep his mother together and the whole cave seemed to vibrate with a low cadence as Blue was currently slipping in with his talents to keep Star relaxed and calm. It wouldn't do for his mom to freak out and freeze half the countryside. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptdragon9 Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Perhaps the old lady could pick up on the hum of talent, perhaps not. She did cant her head a bit, as if listening, perhaps just noting the golden hue in her charge's eyes. One really couldn't tell for sure as she slowly stood up, using her walking stick to get herself vertical. "Seems you two have got it in hand." She nodded her head towards Blue, acknowleding that it was a group effort, giving the doorway to the back rooms a quick glance before turning to her charge. "But if you really need my help, I might have a trick or two for you to learn. First things first, I hate to impose, but may I have some tea?"

Dante Draconia Windwalker Posted April 13 Author Report Share Posted April 13 :::Dante was on it in mere seconds. He skidded into the kitchen acknowledged Saint sitting at the table eating a ham sandwich and started the kettle while getting a cup and saucer. He set up the tea set putting sugar and cream on the tray as well as putting some sugar cookies on it. He placed the same thing on a smaller tray and then poured hot water and tea leaves into the teapot. He spun around and set the tray before his teacher. "I hope this meets with your standards. Blue can you take the second tray to mom please. The tea might help her relax and not kill Dad when he comes in the door. Saint when you finish eating you need to go and finish your homework." He was authoritative and firmly in control. It was easy to see why everyone figured that Dante and Blue together would be good rulers for the mutant clan.:::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptdragon9 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 The Old Lady saw all. Watching the boys tag team the tasks at had seemed to trigger a memory from long, long ago and a small smile crept across her face; an honest one, not like the ones she gave her charge when he was training, and many times failing, but learning. She took up the tea and sipped at it, nodding her approval; nods that were very rare coming from Dante's mentor. Again it would be very difficult to determine if the Elder Aurora was doing anything to mentally quell the potential powderkeg. Dante only would have a niggling feeling that something was happening, but he was never able to pinpoint that sensation. He couldn't even tell for sure if the Old Lady was behind it, or if she was exactly what she was doing. It was never firm; never confirmed, and not even localized. Perpetually the 'is she or isn't she' game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Draconia Windwalker Posted April 23 Author Report Share Posted April 23 :::Dante saw the smile and canted his head. He didn't mention it to her but he saw the power that still reside in her older frailer form. She could easily turn him into an infant for the rest of his life if she wanted to. The idea humbled him and also inspired him to be all he could be. ::: ::::Blue wasn't thinking kind thoughts as he tried to keep his mother under control. Her nightmares usually had her crying out and knowing from conversations with his brother that whole memories had been erased by him and Tim he brushed his fingers repeatedly through her hair and whispered that everything was going to be ok. Blue looked at the woman he was soothing and felt emotions build up in him. This was his mother, she had given him life and she had raised him to go and be whatever he wanted and he felt anger that she should have to go through this. He was angry that her emotional equilibrium was so fragile her memory had to be wiped. Blue was so lost in his thoughts that he was blindsided when Dante cleared his throat and Blue saw he was hovering above the bed a few inches and everything in the room was floating in the air. Not moving around just floating in place. He gave his brother a strange look which made Dante laugh. He said 'Welcome to the fold little brother. We are going to make you a much sought after soldier. The Colonel is going to love this. You have grown up and you can now harness all of your power. We need to go out tomorrow and let you blast some rocks. Saint could use the time out as well.:;: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptdragon9 Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 The Old Lady had watched as Dante retreated to the back bedrooms before she herself slowly eased out of the chair and shuffled her way, following at a slower pace. She took no note of her charge hovering over the bed, but she did look Blue over a moment before shuffling next to him, gesturing for him to step back a pace. She didn't force him by any means; she didn't look like she could. Instead she gently cupped one of Star's cheeks, softly running her thumb along her face. Again nobody in the room would be able to tell if the Elder Aurora was doing... well... anything mutanty... but she seemed intent enough. Gentle but firm. She made a low sound in her throat; a hum, maybe a chant as she focused on Star..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
