The War

[brokencello]

Letalis flops over, dead. "OH MY BURNING FIRE OF UNDERAFTERLIFE!!" Ash cries. Nightshade sits up, woozy. "Here. If I fuel her revival with, oh, an apendage per second, she should come back." "Oh my burning fire of underafterlife. No way, Night. Unless you really want to lose both legs, both arms, and finally your head. Maybe your torso." Night laughs. "Come on. What do I care? It's the spirit, seeing as we have no magic powers now that Diego has them. We are not a part of the land. Maybe that's why Talis died. Lilly is the L now. We are just misfits. No magic. LAND isn't real. It's actually LD. LimiteD, maybe. LaD. Well, anyway, I think we could all deserve a long rest." Night pulls some blankets around herself, curls up, and dies. Ash sits up, crying, late into the night, as she realizes the hoax. She has no magic, and she never did.

Questing hopped around, patting out errant flames that landed on her from the fireball. *Oh, my stars and garters. That was close. Martina, I'll try to get close enough to Lilly to tag her with my spell; since I can't "talk", it will have to be contact only. Please do what you can to distract her.*

Questing sighed, noiselessly, then morphed once again into a large goose. She picked up the spell-device awkwardly in her beak, then took off, circling widely around Lilly and the other wizards, looking for her opportunity. A fading grumble of thought leaked out: *I'm getting too old for this!*

OOC: bc, I have to second Birdhead's comment. Would you, could you modify it a little? In its present form, it puts a big gaping hole in the plot that you could drive the Mothership through. TNX.

<OOC: OK, the Martina is a demi-goddess thing is coming into play NOW, and I feel bad about chaeting over Dave's spell so I'm going to keep it as mild as I possibly can: it's such a nice one. so... Martina's going to do some very mild spellwork, but it'sa going to be stuff that does not rely heavily on persuasion (ie stuff doesn't need to listen to her: she just needs to be able to listen to stuff.)>

Martina grinned. Distraction? now, that I can do, no problem. Distractions is my middle name. In a manner of speaking. She turned her attention towards the possessed girl, and clicked with her tongue. She murmured something that the others could, of course, not hear, under her breath, and then began to focus her thoughts carefully. Ah... I know. for a moment Martina looked sad. Then, sinking into her own mind, she began to will a spell into existence.

When it was complete, a few moments later, she looked up, a little regretfully. Guys? Here it comes.And... it's going to hurt. So put up some mental mindblockers if you can. Martina turned it loose.

A thin cry began to be heard in the silence. High and plaintive it echoed across the plains, a long call of Aue, aue.* Lilly glanced around, surprised, confused, and then realised that the tangi was in her mind only, a clear and undeniable calling, a karanga to the people. it slid through their minds, the sound of grief and pain, awakening too many memories. In it was the sound of a mother calling for her child.

Martina began to cry, and tilted her face to the sky. She closed her eyes and sent out a little more, and the sound grew louder, inescapable. Across from her, at the focus of the spell, Lilly too began to cry, a shaking of the shoulders, sight blurring.

Questing? go. I don't want to hold this.

<OOC* OK, so Aue is a general expression of grief. it's like... well, it's basically just a sound, a very expressive one. Karanga is a calling and tangi means cry or weep. This is based on a karanga at a Maori funeal: as the body is led on to the marae, a woman gives a karanga, and it is returned to welcome the coffin. it's very, very sad. It seemed... appropriate, because Martina would have heard a lot of them.>

"What? Is something wrong Marama?" Asked Diego in his mind after sending another thought to Martina saying "Thanks, What did you do to Lilly and remember, Dragons fly and have magical powers and Phoenix magic is one of the most powerful on Earth neither of them require talking "
(I need a little memory refreshing. What does my father has of special?

IF WE HAVE TO GIVE THIS BASTARDS OUR LIVES, WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!!!

<OOC: Diego u have no idiea that ur mom took over marama's body, (if u do mentoin how u found out plz)

EHEM: here's my old post fixed up for those of us who are forgetfull!

Redilamano, had a long history. She was married to Zenziva.. what could be better?
she became pregnant with Diego.

9mounths passed and she went into labor . Finnaly she started giving birth to diego when She experienced something weird.

all of a suddon Redilamano recived her powers.. . and that crated a link between her and diego (since she got them while birthing)so he got half of them. Redilamano moved to the evil side and married Xyler . Redilamano became pregnant with a doughter.
9 mounths passed and it was time to give birth again .

This time during birth ,Redilamano lost her power's and dissapered leaving lilly beihnd with Xyler and Diego with her lost powers....... Why did she loose her powers during childbirth??? no it had nothing to do with child birth it had to do with the sun,moon and the earth, yes Redilamano got strong evry solar eclipse.

but when her body was in control of it, the eclipses happened more often than every 70 years..

<OOC: *is SO confused* Look, I really, REALLY don't understand a lot of the above (niehter my fault nor yours) so just bear with me, and if I make a glaring mistake/plot hole.whatever, inform me and I'll fix it ASAP, k? Oh, one other thing, lakie, do you think you could, uh, not use Netspeak? you know, the urs and the plzs... it's kinda annoying. I think I'm going to have to bring in n00b packs again.>

Martina glanced at Diego. Well... I used... it's like an emotion trigger. Hopefully, Lilly herself will have been partly buffered by her father's presence in her mind; if not, well, she'll recover. Eventually.

The big goose circled above Lilly, looking for a chance to swoop in and touch her with the spell key, when Martina's own spell went off. It was all Questing could do not to drop the spell and give voice herself, replying to the sorrow in the call. As Lilly whipped around, looking for the source of the call, Questing saw an opening.

"There!"

She dove in like a Stuka on a strafing run, an amusing thought unless you've ever been attacked by a 35 pound goose with an attitude. As Lilly -- or rather, Lilly's father -- homed in on Martina, Questing flew right into Lilly, knocking her down, and incidentally, touching her with the spell. Lilly's body instantly went limp, then rigid, as she slowly evicted her father's spirit into the waiting spell.

"Tag, you're it!"

OOC: Tui, the same word appears in Hawaiian -- auwe, an exclamation of shock/alarm/grief/sadness. It doesn't appear exclusively at funerals, but has evolved to cover any catastrophic event. Like what your mother says when you bring home the car with a big dent.

OOC: I still don't know what OOC means, but hey, I'll use it! Ok, Lakie, you didn't need to change history. All that happened was:
With the genetics, long story short, Redilamano or whatsherface gave her powers to Diego, but Zenziva's powers were absent in him. Zenziva, unknown to Redilamano, was a sorcerer of old. That is how she gained her magic powers...uh...through him, shall we say... When they decided to have children, you-know-what passed his powers into her. But when they combined with her family's old Celtic heritage, they formed what Diego got. But Zenziva still had his, and his were passed on to the other three babies. When Redilamano went to Xavier, she took Diego with her, then abandoned him in the woods when Xavier whipped him. She didn't want him to get hurt any more.
LAN, however, stayed with Mr. Zenziva, and he grew poorer and poorer. After one year with them, he sent Asharran to Romania, Nightshade to a relative on a distant planet, and, like Redilamano, tossed Talis in the woods. With no one to play with but leaves, talis' imagination developed, which is why she has the best mind-power. However, in an abandoned castle, Asharran often dreamt of made-up things, her second best. Nightshade was brought up in a wacky world, so what she imagines is physical, not mental. by the way, Ice found talis when she was seven! OH. WHAT does OOC mean?)
