Mage Wars: The war between Metal and Earth(Join at Anytime!)

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Members of the World Council sat at a round table on the remote island Shiloh, ” What the hell do you think you're doing? Declaring war? Marching into cities? Kidnapping, even murdering children? This is unjust!" "Silence Hiro, you lack the wisdom and knowledge to understand our goals for peace." "But-" "...Hiro... is it really worth it? Every... every time we have a vote.... you lose...and… it takes-" "Sui! You never care about anything!" "Children! All of you! Now Kiyu, you understand that in this declaration of war you will be suspended from the council, and you will be unaided by the." The council got quiet once again, until the leader of the Earth Country, Tsuchi finally spoke "We accept this war! However, I'll have you know the Earth Country will not go down without a fight, and we certainly will not lose." "Bold words from the one who had his cities ransacked. This world will go to war against Dios, but first you'll fall for allowing them to rise in the first place!" "Maybe if you cared about the people in your country, they none of this "Dios" nonsense would be happening!"

Welcome Back! This is an old RP of mine that I really liked, but died prematurely, so I am resetting it up!

Back-story: This is a Mage RP. It is set in a world different from ours, with five continent-sized countries. Each country has its own type of magic, Fire, Metal, Wood, Earth, and Water, respectfully. Each country lives differently than any other, but for the most part, Metal is Urban, Water and Earth are Sub-Urban, and Fire and Wood are Rural. The world they live in is nearly as advanced as ours is, with the exception of the internet, and cell phones. The world used to be under the rule of the Five Mystical Dragons, who were sealed away thousands of years ago, that partially created the magic used today. Also, the magic directly given to us by the Dragons is now known as "Forbidden Magic." Those using this magic are often outcast or ridiculed. An evil organization known as the "Dark Institution of Outcast Society"(D.I.O.S./Dios) is run by, and fathers, the mages using "Forbidden Magic", but also others who are “outcast from society.” The World Council of Mages, although individually powerless, rules all the countries together, including the military of each country. Dios is trying to cause civil wars and recreate the world in the image it used to be when dragons used to rule the world. Their ultimate goal, however, is to remove the seal on the Dragons and unleash them to the World, showing all the mages that the "Forbidden Magic" is more powerful than any other is. The Leader of "Dios" is a Forbidden Earth Mage, who has caused volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and massive earthquakes. The Metal Country has now declared war on the Earth Country.

Well Illustrated Map:


This is a detailed description on the types of magic and their relation to other types of magic. As well as what each country is like, you should really look over this.

Water nourishes Wood

Defeating:
Fire melts Metal
Fire burns Wood

Metal chops Wood
Metal breaks up Earth

Wood parts Earth
Wood absorbs Water

Earth absorbs Water
Earth smothers Fire

Water quenches Fire
Water rusts Metal

Forbidden people are treated differently in different countries and their magic cuts their lifespan in half.

Military Strength: Strongest to Weakest
Metal
Fire
Earth
Water
Wood

Magical Strength: Strongest to Weakest (Forbidden magic withheld)
Fire
Metal
Water
Earth
Wood

Living Conditions: Best to Worst
Metal
Water
Wood
Earth
Fire

Relations:
Metal is at war with Earth
Fire is an enemy of Metal and Earth
Wood likes all but Metal and tends to get into small wars with Fire over land boundaries
Water is neutral to all groups
Earth dislikes Metal and Fire, and remains in safe relations with Water and Wood

There is a World Council of the Five Elements, having one representative of each country, all of them have Defensive Magic and are seniors of their race.

Lifestyles:
Metal is very advanced, and very technological. They have a strict self-run government, and magic is mostly kept secret to the point of there are people who do not know they their type of magic. They have a large mage army though, which can use their magic in public. They kill off any imperfections including Forbidden Children.

Water is very peaceful and people get along with each other, they all work together and respect each other, and war has never happened, people use magic in public, and children even play games using their magic. They have a self-run government, but it is very lax and allows them to do as they deem fit. They treat Forbidden Children no different from others as a whole.

Wood is mostly rural and forestland, it is often peaceful and has no government, but they believe in the Village Elders and respect them. They train in hand-to-hand and weapon (mostly made from wood and rocks) combat, as their magic is weak. They all use their magic as part of everyday lives. They raise Forbidden Children in hand-to-hand combat instead of honing in on their magic skills.

Earth is very powerful and has powerful Magic if used correctly, they are also naturally strong, and they live in a semi-modern community, and train both magic and fist fighting to be a powerful Army. They abandon Forbidden Children.

Fire is lawless and dangerous to live in; most women give birth at a young age to help continue their dying race. They have an army, which is their only sign of humanity for the most part. Most people die in village fights or join the Army. They use magic as they wish, but are all trained by parents and elders. They idolize Forbidden Children. 

UPDATE: 

Magical Cannon: Erasure EMkII

Magical Weapons use pure magic to perform a simple task. Metal Country has succeeded in extracting pure magic from prisoners of war. Extracting the magic from a human kills them instantly, and it takes about 100 people to initiate the cannon. The magical cannon is the second Magical weapon in existence. Can only be fired once, and needs to be reloaded. Fires the magical energy as a beam.

Raymond stood in front of a group short of a hundred people, "Master says that the Metal Country is winning, and other countries may take this to their advantage." His emotionless voice kept the room quiet. "Master wants any and all top ranking Mages to go to the Wood, Fire, and Water Countries to stabilize them, and make them remember we exist. I will go to the front lines of the battlefront to attack their main squadron, and halt the Metal's siege of the Earth Capital." He turned around and left, signaling all to leave on the mission now given, or ones they already had.


Kisara yawned and stretched, she looked around at the trees, and the small woodland creatures, "Look! It's a bunny! I want it!" She jumped at it, but it was too fast for her and evaded, "...You'll never escape me bunny! Never!" She chased it for several hours until the sun began to set, "Stop jumping around stupid rabbit!" She seemed tired and set her fist on fire, "I'll ca-" She saw a young boy with brown hair in front of her, hiding behind a tree, "Hey there cutie, where's your mommy? Are you from this country? Did you see a little bunny with a cute fuzzy tail?" He ignored her and walked away, she grabbed his shoulder and pulled him so he faced her, "Listen kid, when someone is talking to you-" he nudged her off and continued walking. "...So he wants to be a smart little punk?" She lit her fist on fire and nicked the boy's shoulder, but he moved onward unfazed. "What?...So you're a Mage! I bet you think you're tough, well I'm part of the World Council! And today you're going to..." The boy began to reminisce, 'If you should ever meet a Mage of the Council, kill him, as they are our opposition, and they're going to die regardless.' She punched him once again in the back, and he turned around, "Are you from the Council?" His cold eyes frightened her for a second but she recovered, "Yeah! And I'm the best Fire Mage around" He nodded and his hand turned into a cannon, "Then Master wants me to destroy you."

-Sunrise-

Oni walked outside, seeing he'd received a letter, "Mom, Marcus sent me a letter! I'm going to read it while I feed the rabbits okay?"
---
'Dear Oni,

Happy Birthday! I'm so sorry we forgot to write sooner! Listen up, things are going down in the world. I know you don't have TV, and you don't really hear much about much, but Metal and Earth Country are in war. I hope things are okay over there. As for here, well there's some things happening here at home, I think it's time we meet for real, we might need you. Today me and Rika saw some creepy guys walk into town, then left after drawing some houses...'
---
Oni tripped over a shoe, and looked forward, "Holy-" He saw Kisara's heavily-bruised body lying there unconscious, "Are you okay?" He put the letter in his shirt and ran to the girl’s side, but not before seeing to other girls. They looked like twins, and he was sure they were from Fire Country. “Did you two do this?!”

Marcus was walking around town with Rika. "Yo Rika....wheres zose guys we zaw yeserday? I coulda zworn I zaw dem 'round zis parta' town?" "Er....I think they left...a boat left yesterday. Maybe they were on it?" Marcus nodded, “Zings is heatin’ up in zis col’ coun’ry.”

“Hah…hah…” Takayuki’s asthma was acting against her, only a mile away from the camp she’d just escaped from. “D-Damn Metal Country…” She looked around at her settings, it looked as though she was in Wood Country, but she could not tell where, no one knew where anything in Wood Country was, everything was trees and grass for dozens of miles. She stumbled forward until she saw a hut, and used her inhaler. “P-please let it be Wood Country, please let it be Wood Country…” she slowly stumbled into the hut, nearly collapsing the door.

[nekoryuuha]

"...Lumina, I'm okay now."

"Are you sure, sister?"

Namine nodded, giving her twin a smile. "Yeah. I can't lean on you like this forever," she replied as Lumina reluctantly let her Twin stand unaided. The two had run far. Far farther then either of them had realized in their desperate flight to escape the family that had attacked them and murdered their parents just to take control of Lumina's advanced strength and Namine's Forbidden power. Their flight had quickly become a desperate retreating battle that had turned heavily against them. And when capture was imminent, Namine was forced to use her Forbidden power to save them both. Though Namine had nearly collapsed from the pain, their pursuers weren't nearly so lucky. If they woke up, they wouldn't in any kind of condition to move, much less follow the Fire Twins. That had been nearly three hours ago. "Besides, You're exhausted from supporting me all this time. I told you I wouldn't burden you like this if possible, even if you are my favorite sister."

Lumina giggled. "Namine, I'm your only sister," she replied. The both of them laughed quietly as they walked slowly to recover some energy.

"Did you two do this?!"

The yell startled them both as Namine instinctive put herself between Oni and her twin until they noticed the yeller, Oni, was about their own age. The quality and make of his clothing also told them he wasn't likely to be of Fire. It was their first encounter with a non-Fire person and for a moment, they stayed quiet, unsure as to what to say or as to what he meant. "I think we might have left Fire country, sister," Lumina whispered as the two backed away slowly.

"I think you're right, Lumina," Namine replied quietly before looking it him. It was then that the two noticed the young woman laying at his feet, not much older then themselves. "I ...think... we're in a bad spot, Sis."

[GamerKale]

Zanza popped a jawbreaker in his mouth, he hated this part of the job. The searching. It took forever and it seemed that more often than not people either had no idea or were deliberately not cooperating. Afraid he would kill their precious child, wife, brother, or whatever. It's not a betrayal, it's just their duty as citizens. Of course, this particular case was difficult for another reason. It's hard to track someone when your only description is that it's a young boy who likes to turn his arm into a cannon. Guns and cannons were all well and good, but if you miss with them then you might destroy something that ought not to be broken. Returning to the task at hand, a good deal of this job had been guess work. Acting on hunches and chasing ghosts. Every child he saw might be the one. The second he turned his back they might shoot him, but he couldn't go around killing every boy he came across, that would take too long and might tip the kid off that he was coming. He had managed to piece together a bit more of a description as his investigation had pressed on. The kid had brown hair for one and a particularly talented artist had given him a sketch of a peculiar boy. He was acting on another hunch that this was the boy he was looking for. Zanza didn't like it one bit.
--------------------
Khas sat quietly as the older men yelled and blustered about who's fault it was they had lost this most recent battle. Even his own father was in the thick of it. Politics. Oh how I hate thee. He had learned the favored tactics of each general present based on how they argued during the first "meeting" he had attended. Of course, he had read up on them all before hand too, but nothing beats first hand experience. He closed his eyes and visualized the metal nation's forces on their soil. He had remained silent regarding tactics up to this point because he wanted to see how the metal nation's field marshal would handle things. Technologically, metal had the advantage, and it was only thanks to a hasty tank deployment on his father's part that they had not lost a key economical hub last week. But that had also cost them most of those tanks and politically, that was suicide. Khas now had no choice but to step into the ring. He opened his eyes and saw their own field marshal eying him. Khas tapped his glass repeatedly until the other generals stopped their squabbling. "We are all forgetting one very important detail. The enemy is on our doorstep, we must respond. Now." "Oh, and I suppose you have a plan. Listen, you may be the son of-" "Don't you dare. He's here on his own merits. I had nothing-" "GENTLEMEN." Warned Khas, "You can't fight in here. This is the war room!" He waited a moment for that to sink in. "We must stand united or our country will fall. Now then, no I do not have a plan. I have several. If you would like to hear them, I suggest you all sit down."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Oni closed his eyes trying to calm down; when he opened his eyes, he noticed the girls were retreating. “Halt!” He stomped his foot and roots wrapped themselves around the foreign girl at his feet. He knew she was a foreigner as well, but that did not justify a brutal onslaught. “That Marcus… he can smell trouble from all the way over there,” whispered Oni. He lowered his hand to the soil and more roots wrapped around the twin’s ankles. They could immediately feel the refreshing powers, although it felt more like slowly awaking from a long slumber than actual healing. Oni’s purpose; however, was not to heal them, but to keep them in his zone.

Raymond had no sooner infiltrated Earth Country’s borders than he met a Metal Country soldier. “Hey, who’s that kid?” The man was seemingly talking to himself, little did Raymond know, or care for that matter, that the man was speaking electronically. Raymond’s arm morphed rapidly, and before the soldier could respond, a hole the size of a bowling ball was cratered through his chest. The soldier fell helplessly to his knees and Raymond blasted another shell at the man’s face, destroying it perfectly. “Metal uniforms…” Raymond slowly studied the uniform, and after assuming he understood its pattern and design, he left the scene abruptly.

[AZURE-KITE]

Yosuke Yawned, then stood up, he was sitting in a tree, he decided to go home, when he got there a girl had stumbled into his door, it didn't looked like a familiar face he walked to her "Hey, are you okay?, what's your name? oh and where are you from?" he helped her to stood up and looked at her "Hey what are you doing here? you don't look like you where from here are you?"
---------------------
Ryan was walking around the water country, looking, without drawing attention to himself, he could see a boy with a slurred accent and a girl with him, They were talking about some guys yesterday, and some boats Could have them been from the fire Country? he kept walking until he saw some kids playing with water So things are like this in here? maybe we can give them a surprise heheh he sat in a chair close to the place they were playing Let the fun begin he close his hand and a part of the ground lifted, he then opened his hand slowly and close it again, and the big rock spread in sharp tiny pieces, thrusting the kids and some people close to there, making them fall suddendly, he stood up and started walking out of the scene

[nekoryuuha]

Halt!

The sisters froze momentarily as roots burst around the unconscious girl at his feet. "Wood user..." The two whispered it simultaneously. Now they knew they weren't in Fire Country anymore. "Sister, lets-" Lumina's words were cut off as strong Roots gripped their ankles in a gentle embrace, causing the two to start in surprise. Were it not for the immediate, slow revitalization, the Fire Twins would likely have panicked.

Indeed, Lumina nearly did when she felt her sister's reassuring touch. Namine had received enough healings to recognize one immediately, even if is wasn't really all that strong or helpful. Seeing Namine somewhat at ease calmed Lumina a bit. "He's a defensive type. I Think we'll be okay for now, sister," Namine said to her twin, whom nodded back, before looking back to Oni. Knowing he wasn't yet hostile was assuring, but it didn't make the Twins any less cautious or more trusting of him and it showed. Though Namine looked slightly more confident, both Flame Sisters looked like cornered animals ready to bolt or fight at a moment's notice. "...what do you want from us...?" Namine asked in a semi-nervous voice, unsure as to what he wanted from them.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Oni was much calmer, though at this point, the twin did not seem to show concern for the immobilized girl. “I asked you a question!” He remained his distance; he knew well enough that any Fire mage could close distance easily, and a fire could potentially burn down miles of forest, including his own home. “Did you two hurt this girl?!” He pointed down at the girl, Oni did not have his bokken on his person, and a fight with these two girls would result in more injuries, but his sense of righteousness could not let this misdeed go unpunished. She now showed signs of life, and the twins before him, too, were benefitting from his power. Oni’s power, however, began to physically drain him.

“C-Can’t breathe…” Takayuki grabbed Yosuke’s collar, “I-inhaler…empty…” Takayuki was having an asthma attack and she dropped her inhaler at his door. “…” she continued mouthing words, but with a lack of air, came a lack of voice.

Marcus was at the fish market when the entire district heard children screaming in pain. Adult screams could also be heard. “Dig’n dang zit!” He ran to the park and collided with a man in a yellow scarf, “Zorry man…” He swung his arm towards himself and a wedge of ice propelled Ryan to his feet. At the park he could see the citizens splintered. “Zat’s na zice!” He ran to the child closest to him; the boy’s throat had been punctured. All around him people were crowding, some to see what was going on, others to help. Some were even family members of the fallen citizens. “Ohshi- Rika!” Marcus place the child down carefully and ran against the crowd, and after finding it difficult for him to move, he slammed his foot down to create a block of ice from the water in the ground. He used it as a skateboard of sorts, knocking people over in front of him. “Rika where’re ya!”

Raymond’s onslaught of Metal soldiers did not stop there; he killed anyone wearing the same uniform from behind, often blowing their heads off their shoulders. Any magic wasted would take time to restore. Although Raymond had not shown signs of fatigue, he was being drained by using his magic so often.

[AZURE-KITE]

"Ok..... Now i only need to.... ugh..." he grabbed her and ran to his house and put her on his bed "Ok i'll help you" he gave her breathing mouth-to-mouth hoping to let her breathe "Is it better now?" he stood up and looked at the window "If i could just.... find help.... but if she.... dammit!" he walked to her "Ok now, tell me if you can breathe better so i can find some help and brough you a new inhaler ok?"

"What the-?" Ryan jumped to avoid the ice "You little!" he waved his arms forward, and sharp rocks thrusted the people up ahead, when they fell in the ground he walked to where thhe boy runned "Ok so, Skateboard VS Skateboard, heheh" He stomped his feet into the ground, making an Skateboard, then in a second he was flying to where the boy had gone "Where are you Icy boy? You can play Hide and Seek but i will always find you..... Gotcha!" he opened his hands and put his arms at his sides and lifted them, mid sized rocks came up and followed him "Come come icy boy!" he used the rocks as projectiles "STOP NOW! and if you call someone or im aware that someone is searching for me i will kill you!"

The twins looked down at the recovering girl at his feet as if only just realizing or remembering she was there. The ruthlessness of the Fire country had forcibly taught them to worry about themselves first if they wanted to survive to the end of their short lives. It had let them survive this long. As one, they shook their heads, feeling better but still wary of him. If anything, the healing put them more on edge. In Fire, nothing was free unless you were strong enough to take it by force. "We didn't do it. We were only just passing when you stopped us," Lumina said as they watched warily, gently testing the strength of the healing roots while being careful not to accidentally break them.

"But you want something from us, right?" Namine continued as Lumina whispered her findings into her ear. As far as the Flame Twins were concerned, no one would waste their power to heal unless they had something they wanted from you. Even their Mother had been that way. Even to them.

Takayuki nodded, though she felt helpless, she was glad to know she was safe. “T-Thank you…” she was panting, but at least she was breathing.

Marcus stomped his foot on the board and a wall of ice blocked the shards of earth from piercing him. “Wha da hell’re ya tawkin’ bout?” When he realized that this was an earth mage, he lowered his shield, “Bas’ard! Ya keeled doze kids! I ain’t gon’ furgive ya!” His arms slowly became encased in ice.

Oni released the bindings on the girls. “Why would I want anything from you two? This isn't Fire Country, there's not a catch to everything we do.” He knelt down to pick up the injured girl, and she began to cough, “Are you okay?” he turned his back on these girls, it did not sound nor seem like they attacked this girl, but one thing was prying at the back of Oni’s mind. “Well then ladies, if you don’t mind me asking, what bring you two to Wood Country?” He was not facing them; he was gently trying to get a good grip on the girl. He stood calm, and rooted himself to the ground; this was the most energy efficient way to heal another.

"You're welcome" He smiled gently at her "Ok now, can you wait here until im back? im going to find you another inhaler, im llucky to have a friend in like 10 houses from here that have those, so, are you okay with it?"

"If you want revenge then fight!" He launched spikes to Marcus' skateboard and got off his own "So! c'mon boy! if you don't come more will be like this!" he grabbed a kid very injuried that was in the ground "So, wanna save them?" he grabbed the kid by the neck and lift him "Come here!" he was choking the kid, stopping his breathing "....." he Grinned evily as he break the kid's neck, killing him, then he throwed the kid to a side, making him to break a glass "If you don't come more people will end like him" he grabbed another kid by the neck "You choose"

Lumina frowned. "So then, it's information...?" she whispered.

Namine shook her head slightly as she turned to her sister, simultaneously looking to see if they were being surrounded or anything. "I don't know.... and I'm wondering if he might be telling the truth. You've felt it too, right?"

Lumina nodded. "Y-yeah... He doesn't seem to have any malice or ill-will toward us..." she replied to her sister. The two met each other's gaze, seeming to come to an agreement without needing further speech. They turned to him. "I guess we can trust you a bit, since you seem alright," Lumina said to Oni first.

"We didn't know we'd left Fire Country until a few minutes ago," Namine continued in place of her twin. "We were being chased by a Fire clan that wanted us under their sole control. We managed to get rid of them, but now we're here, wandering until we can make a new home for ourselves."

((Update, aliases have been put up.))
Takayuki nodded, practicing and performing her deep breathing exercising. “Yeah, yeah, go…” She smiled faintly breathing slowly. ‘Maybe he’ll help me get back home.’

Marcus could not keep calm with this monster slaughtering children like this. He charged Ryan and the ice he had been accumulating around his arm shifted into the form of a blade. He swiped Ryan’s arm, forcing him to drop the kid. Marcus caught the child, “Liz’n, dis stuffs ‘tween ya n’ meh. Na li’l’uns gah it?”

Oni nodded, “I guess I do live close to fire country…though it’s sad that we’re worlds apart.” Kisara opened her eyes and looked up at Oni, “Thank god you’re okay!” He whispered turning his head back at the girls. “I don’t know if you’ve eaten breakfast, but you three look like you could use a meal, and my mother could probably use the company.” Oni began walking back to his hut, “I am sorry about yelling earlier, I did not mean- I was worried about the girl-” “Kisara, my name is Kisara, and I can walk now.” Kisara responded, becoming consciously aware of her surroundings. “I’m sorry Kisara, I cannot just yet let you walk on your own yet.”

Zanza knelt over the corpse of a metal country soldier, at least he thought it had been a soldier. He looked like he had stood directly in front of a tank's cannon, gotten back up and stuffed his head into the barrel. This wasn't done by earth magic, and he had a feeling this guy hadn't stood in front of a tank, twice. He withdrew the drawing he had received before, studying it again. He wished he could have asked this man, he thought it was a man at least, but that wasn't likely to happen. He put the drawing away and looked behind him. He had passed into earth country. This presented him with a unique situation. Normally he would go to the earth authorities and request their help, which given he was searching for a forbidden mage they just might agree, but as they were at war...

Based on where the blasts had come from the kid was probably standing here. Which means he is likely headed, that way. The kid was headed straight for the capitol city! He grabbed the soldier's weapon and double timed it, using his magic to push himself faster. He almost ran head on into a squad of earth soldiers. "Rust!" He swore as he backpedaled, throwing himself behind a rock as he fired blindly at them. Bullets whizzed by his head and pinged off the rock. He glanced over and threw the empty magazine at them, a sandstorm easily swept it away and carried two grenades towards him. He grabbed the barrel of his rifle and batted the explosives back. He didn't wait to see the result, he just hoofed it away. He kept crouched and was thankful for it when a rock flew over him and through a tree. He spared a glance back and reloaded the rifle. He put it over his shoulder and fired blindly. He threw himself into a ditch to take a quick breather. He tossed the rifle aside, he had no extra ammunition for it anyways. He checked the pistol he had picked up. It was fully loaded and he had two spare mags. He popped a piece of gum in his mouth, let the flavor set in and started sprinting again. He'd get a car, but somehow he figured it would draw more trouble than it was worth, plus the kid couldn't have more than a day's lead on him. He just hoped he caught up with the kid before he reached the capitol, or more soldiers. No uniform meant neither side would take too kindly to him.

"Ok, i will return in a second" he quickly ran out of the house to his friend's house, it was nnot too far from there, and he relied in his instincts, a tree made a sharp big needle and throw it in his direction, he got on it and headed to the house

---Meanwhile---
"Hey boy, can't you talk normal? i can't seem to hear you, but well, it seems like you accepted my challenge, c'mere!" he trapped the boy that Marcus got in his hands in an earth prison "If you want to save him defeat me" The earth prison was more and more cramped and little each second that passes "Well, if you make and ice sword then why not me?" he stomped in the ground as a rock spear comes up "Hyah" He ran to him slashing him, then jumping back and throwing the spear at Marcus, then stomping again and this time a sword comes up "Let's see what you've got"

---Meanwhile---
Yosuke got to his friend's house and asked him for an inhaler "You're lucky i work in these things" "Thanks, i doubt you one" Yosuke replied, making his way again to his house, then when he got to it, he entered and gave the inhaler to the girl "Well, you haven't told me your name yet, and, where are you from?"

[nekoryuuha]

"Okay..."

"We are hungry," Namine admitted as the Twins stomachs growled back-to-back. The two followed the Wood Healer cautiously as they listened to Kisara and Oni. Her name sounded a bit familiar to them. "Sis, does she sound familiar, to you?"

Lumina nodded. "Yeah... I think Kisara was the name of that Fire girl that was traveling and fighting that we heard about, remember?" When Namine shook her head, Lumina sighed. "It was that rumor we heard! The strong Fire fighter that was traveling around, beating Earth and Water mages."

That one jogged her memory. "Oh! Right, the 'Young Flame', right?" The Twins looked at the recovered girl in Oni's arms. "But, if she's so strong, what put her in the dirt like that?" Namine asked quietly as the two sisters followed.
