Thom - Games and Fearsome Beasts

[10:47:02] With tears in her eyes, it seems the boys fell prey to the GUILT TRIP! Not really, Gala had actually been pretty upset over the whole thing in actuality! Wiping the tears from her eyes, she would feel Damian hug her and offer some candy. The child had never had a sweet treat like that. Curiosity dwelled deep inside and she could not help but reach out her hands to accept it. Blinking, the girl would unwrapit and pop the candy into her mouth. The tears would slowly go away as she enjoyed the sugary treat.

Candy made everything better.

"Mhhh…" Giving a nod, the girl would accept the boy's suggestion. Throwing things and shooting them sounded fun. What WASN'T fun about breaking stuff? "Okay…But, what are you guys gonna shoot?"

There MIGHT be a target range that the soldier's used for practice? But then, would they let kids use it? Maybe there was something else they could use? Hmmm. Thinking on it a moment, she sighs. "I'm not sad…S-Sorry if I upset you guys…I just really wanted to play."

(Gala)
[10:55:34] Great! She was calming down! A sigh of relief would escape the boys mouth as he took a step back; pulling a handful of caramel treats from his bag and placing them in her lap so she could save some for later... unless she just decided to eat them all now- which would most likely make her end up in a sugar rush...

He would listen to both of them agree to his idea, which put a big smile on his face! "Okay... hmm uh..." He said,; thinking to himself. What would they use as target practice... which this whole thing actually was- just disguised as a game. A few moments would pass as the young prince rubbed his child a little before getting one of the best ideas yet!

"You two! Follow meeee!" He exclaimed, nothing more, nothing less... they'd just have to follow him to find out what was happening!
(Damian Kyros)
[10:59:50] A glance towards the fight and the left. Now that Gala was calmed the two boys had better follow through or else she would get sad again, even if she said she hadn't had been. "Its ok. Maybe we can.." Thom walked over to a corner, grabbing a few glass bottles that adults from the bar had drunk out of and finished before walking back.

"We can do it like this?" Thom asked, tossing one in the air before striking it from above with lighting, making sure it was far away from them. There was a slight rain of glass however that made Thom frown. "Actually maybe soething that wouldn't break.." But it would be at that moment Damian swooped in for the rescue.

"Alright! Your idea is probally going to be a load better then mine was!"
(Thom)
[11:10:56] A smile and a nod would be given to the two after hearing their responses. A little giggle would escape his lips after hearing Thoms comment. He would turn his head to the right to look over his shoulder so that he could see Thom as he spoke.

"Everyone has good ideas, Thom!" He said just before turning his head to face forward. At that moment the boy would dart off, seeing if the two could keep up! If they couldn't he would simply slow down- but if they could? He would keep up the little cardio exercise just to get their blood flowing so they could be a little loose. His mentors taught him that!

As time passed Damian would lead them on top of the walls of Nostvale, overlooking the ocean from the inside! "Okay guys! We're here! He shouted as he pointed out to the vast sea. "Doesn't it look cool?!" He exclaimed before hopping up and down a bit.

"Mkay! So, Thom you have tuh shot the fishies! Then, I have tuh float em up to us! We boff have tuh work together tuh do it, oh, and we'll have lunch after!" He shouted, showing clear excitement in his little idea. Lets just hope that something doesn't.... surprise them~
(Damian Kyros)
[11:22:01] It appeared that Damian could run pretty quickly. Quicker then Thom at least, which is why that the magi was glad he could teleport. little streaks of blue would follow the air where he had once been, trailing behind him as he made his way to Damian, eventually arriving by the kid's side and doing this freuqnelty.

Eventually they reached the top of the wall (Thom at which point asked why he didn't just go up there with his lighting and get an easier way for them to climb up) before glancing over the ocean and the back of town. It was the best view, at least in Thom's opinon. Able to see the entire town and see the ocean.

"Yeah here is cool! I train up here sometimes." He glanced towards the water blinking a few times when he heard that he had to shoot the fishes. "Oh ok. Shock em and stuff right? Just like fishing!"
(Thom)
[11:33:58] "Oh…"

Following after the boys, young Gala does try to keep up but…She had fat little mage legs! Gripping at her skirts, the girl does try her hardest though! Running in a dress was NOT easy after all, she should get credit for just TRYING. Breathing hard, she finally makes it to their destination. Poor Gala was out of breath! Giving a thumbs up to them both though, she signals her ability to carry on.

"O-Okay!*huff* Let's…Let's see what you guys can do!"

With that, Gala would lean against the wall of bricks keeping anyone from falling off, or, you know…Getting over the wall! While she sat there, she would eagerly watch the boys.

(Gala)
[11:39:56] It would appear that the others managed to keep up... kind of- nevertheless Damian was happy they ran with him... or at least Gala did. Thom, on the other hand, seemed to be using magic, which defeated the purpose of running. But all in all, he was happy they were there and ready to play!

"Okay so! You see those shadows down there, Thom? Those are the fishes, ya gots tuh focus on those and shoot em wiff all ya got so i can bring em up all fired n stuff. But if you miss and I bring em up, they'll just be floppin around all weird like." He said before continuing as he looked to the water. "And if you hit em and I cant get em, they'll just before floatin in the water all weird like... so iss teamwork mkay?" At that moment the boy would turn to Gala with a warm smile.

"And Gala has to tell us which ones to aim at!"
(Damian Kyros)
[11:45:04] Thom would nod, glancing towards the shadows in the water and then focusing. A bit of exictment built up within the nine year old.. This was going to be a time that he could use magic and no one would be in danger! That was really rare and just htinking about it made him happy! He always enjoyed using magic after all.

"Three shadows coming right up!"

After Gala would point out which ones (b-because she has to pick. Thom knows how to wait his turn icly.. oocly though my turn muhahaha) He extended a hand upwards. In one moment three differnt volts of eletricty shot downwards, flying towards the shadows in the water and striking each through, frying them just a little.

"Got em! You can pull them up now! Team work!"
(Thom)
[11:55:18] Damian would wait for Gala to choose which one they should attack. Meanwhile being lost in his own thought... he couldn't help but stare at the sky... like- what if he really could form wings with his reika... that would be amazing right? Like- it has been done before, he's seen it! But has anyone ever used them to actually fly places? Hmmm!?

"O-oh!" He shouted; snapping out of his little daydream so that he could ready himself. "Alright less do dis!" He added before swiftly waving his arms around in a fluid motion to try and summon the water from the ocean so he could gather the fish that were hit!

On his first try he would bring up a small bubble of water before letting it drop, revealing that there was nothing it it but water. "What!? I coulda sworn I had it!" He exclaimed, surprized that he messed up. "Lemme try again..." Just then there boy would close his eyes and breath for a moment just before throwing his arms forward before flicking his hands up quickly, forcing two little streams of water to burst from the ocean, flinging the other two fish up to them.

"Ayyy we did it! ...Kinda." He exclaimed before walking towards the edge of the wall to look over it. "Hey, I'ma crawl down so its easier to see dme alright? You can if you want too Thom!" And just like that the boy would start climbing down the side of the wall slowly. By the time Gala would announce their next fish he would probably be half way down... he was moving extremely slowly.
(Damian Kyros)
[12:06:24] Zoning out, in a world all her own, the green haired girl kind of…Well, she totally missed out on whatever the boys were doing. Staring at the water below, her gaze gets lost in the waves that the water makes and ultimately let's herself be consumed by thoughts. The bad man, her uncle…How was she going to deal with them? Just lead a pack of scary people to his door and watch him get torn to shreds? That would be kind of mean….

But he would TOTALLY deserve it…

Murmuring to herself, Gala draws something into the air, almost as if she were scrawling on a map. How odd…It was only until Damian was climbing down the wall that she snapped to attention. Blinking a couple of times, looking both ways before she crossed the metaphorical street, Gala looks down at the Kyros. Almost nervously, as if afraid she somehow messed up, she asks him a question.

"W-Wait….What are you guys doing…?"

Oh poor, sweet Gala, she was so very lost.

(Gala)
[12:11:31] That was a good idea! Getting closer to the fish would definately increase how he was going to hit them all, and so taking Damian's idea Thom started climbing down the wall the only way he knew how; he walked off the side. He didn't grab onto it, he didn't find foot holes in the walls, he just straight up started plunging downwards, going past Damian and grabbing onto his glaive.

"Lets get some fish!" He would call out, releasing three bursts of energy dowards towards the shadows that were the fish. The first one went a little wide but the next two.. They would be hit with the bolts of lighting, and then Thom hit the water, going a bit under.. With a very hard sounding noise.

... He was going to be alright right? Maybe he should have talked this plan over with them first.
(Thom)
[12:22:36] Suddenly the young Kyros would feel a gust of wind pass him as he looked up after hearing Gala's words. Apparently, Thom had leaped from the wall and decided to drop all the way down without even taking his time. Which seemed out of place for a child... a mage child at that. But with a shrug Damian would follow through with the same plan, letting go of the wall right after Thom as his instincts kicked in.

A bright green glow would seep through the boys Leylines as his reika seemingly protected his legs from the fall. Forcing the ground to shake a little from his landing with a loud thud. "Okay... fish time." He said before moving his hand forward to flick it upwards. He would perfectly capture the fish that Thom seemed to miss- which he didn't quite know until the damned thing started flopping around at their feet when he let it drop onto the land.

"EW EW EW! GET IT! GET IT!" He would shout before randomly whipping water everywhere, accidentally ripping the fried fish in the water to shreds. Although... something was off after all that noise Damian made... Something... was coming. A large shadow would appear in the water close to the boys... far larger than the fish... this thing was huge.

From this angle, Damian and Thom wouldn't be able to see it, but Gala on the other hand? She would definitely see the dark mass in the water... but what would her plan be? Attack it? Or tell them to get back up the wall... decisions, decisions!
(Damian Kyros)
[12:32:00] Oh jeeze….OH JEEZ!

Leaning over the side to watch Thom foolishly jump down, Gala could enjoy a sensible laugh as young Damian struggles to hold the fish as it flops around. How gross! The thing was still alive, flipping and flopping around whilst the Kyros tried to hold it! Giggling at the boy, Gala holds a hand over her mouth-That is, until she spots the shadow. Eyes widen as she gasps.

"Guys….Get out of the water…"

The girl's voice would be too soft, they wouldn't be able to hear her. Standing up, pushing herself to stand and stare right down at the two, she would cup hands around her mouth as to make sure they heard this time. When she raised her voice? It was best to listen.

"Hey! HAY! GET OUT! SOMETHING IS DOWNTHERE!"

A REAL water monster. The green haired child was not about to put her friends at risk for a dumb game!

(Gala)
[12:36:16] Ow.. It took Thom a couple of seconds to realize that he was still under the salty sea water. Pain wracked his body a little bit but it could have been worse honestly. The boy looked up towards which side had the most light, swimming towards it and not seeing the dark thing under them due to the darkness which envolped the ocean's bottom.

"Bleh. Sea water tastes nasty. I should have thought about that first.." Thom said, spitting some out as he glanced over towards Damian, right in time to see the water whipping which number one destroyed the fish that he had managed to fry, and number two, hit Thom in the face, making his head ring for a few seconds..

It sounded like there was screaming but because of the ringing he didn't know why. His grey eyes looked towards Gala who had cupped her hands now and screamed that there was something in the water.. Well obviously, they were down there right?

"Hey Damian, how do we get back up there?" Thom asked, begining to swim towards the wall.
(Thom)
[12:55:02] After finally nudging the live fish back into the water with the tip of his toe Damian would hear Gala shouting from above. What was she going on about? Was something down here? Yeah, of course, there was, it was Damian and Thom! Shrugging his shoulders a bit as he looked up at the girl, Damian would turn around to see something in the water, following Thom!

"! ! !"

Damian could only do one thing at that point in time... run. He turned around and burst towards the wall with all the speed he had, trying to get a running start so that he could climb the wall! For some reason, Thom was confused, or at least... lost on how he would get back up? Damian would just keep climbing as he shouted down at the older boy.

"CLIMB!" He exclaimed. Just then a massive amount of water would spray into the air, forcing the wall to become wet- making climbing up it /that/ much harder. Following this, a large head would emerge from the sea, glaring Directly at Thom. It was a Kaor that had evolved into a serpent-like creature! This was bad, really bad!

There was no way they would be able to fight this! They were going to have to flip dip and dodge their way back up the wall to safety! And Damian was taking no chances, so he was already on it! With his running start he would leap pretty high... but due to underestimating how slick the cobblestone was, the child slid right back down to the bottom.

Panic was starting to show on the young boy's face as his heart began to race, with his backpack humming a little... showing that there was fear in his heart. The warmth that seemed to emanate from his backpack seemed to calm him, allowing him to slowly start climbing up the wall, making it at least one-fifth of the way up before turning to look at Thom.

"HURRY OR IT MIGHT GET YOU!!!"
(Damian Kyros)
[13:04:25] This was a stupid idea.

But Thom was prone to stupid descions. Instead of climbing the wall however, Thom would just glance at it. He didn't exactly understand what Damian wanted him to do, but.. He was supposed to get up that wall right? So he just looked at it, and, in the middle of the freaking ocean water eletrcuted everything nearby with a burst of lighting to launch him into the air. As he sailed upwards he would look at a ledge, vanishing from where he was currently and landing on the second one.

"Something like that right?"

Ten fried fishes floated to the top of the ocean water... And maybe it might have stung the kaor too? Who knows, it was pretty far away.
(Thom)
[13:16:22] Slippery, the stupid serpent was making everything harder that it needed to be. The symbol under the boys eye would start to flicker as he slowly slid further and further down until...

Tap ...tap...

His feet actually touched the ground again! How! How did he slide all the way back down?! He didn't even fee like he was moving! This angered him... so much so that his reika burst from him, forming a bright glow around him as he started breathing extremely heavy. A green silhouette formation of wings would appear on his back just before flapping lightly as he climbed up. From the looks of it, he was using them to help him get up with ease before they vanished. Although his Reika would still be shining bright as he looked up to Thom, giving an extremely slow nod through his anger.

As everything settled, a roar would escape the Kaors mouth- it seemed that Thoms decision to zap everything in the water only angered the Kaor... It would thrash around a bit before peering just its eyes out of the water... as if it were thinking. Just then, its head would emerge from the water quickly, forcing even more ocean spray to hit the wall, soaking it even more as five bursts of water shot towards Gala, the only one who wasn't climbing.

Looks like the Kaor found a target... oooh and it was angry!
(Damian Kyros)
[13:37:42] Well shit.

As the girl watched both boys try to climb up in their own unique ways, it seems the Gala was not overlooked by the Kaor! Gala was not looking at the monster, but rather the boys. Thom was using his teleportation to get out of dodge while Damian was….What the hell, was he flying? Eyes widened as she watched the boy, but that was her mistake. The powerful wave sent violent pulses of water flying at the little girl.

And almost every single one hit her!

One of them hit her and caused the girl to be knocked back. Then the next and the next! The pressure was sure not good for such a young and delicate child as Gala, and so she was easily thrown backwards due to it! So much so she-Oh gosh, she was thrown off to the other side of the wall! The girl hardly could understand what was happening until the floor under her feet vanished and she was send flying backwards unto a roof! Hitting the surface was no cakewalk, in fact, poor Gala fell THROUGH the roof! The momentum she had was amazing, or the roof was rotting; either way she'd be hurting.

Crashing through a stacked pile of empty barrels, the girl would lay in a heap whilst trying to figure out what had just happened. No doubt she had bumps and bruises a plenty! Light poured down on her from the hole the child made in the ceiling, acting as the only light in the dark, abandoned home. Really, she should not be ANYWHERE near a fight with how much of a pincushion the girl was!

"…O-Ow…"

(Gala)
[13:41:58] The next ledge would be just another hop, Thom grinning. It looked like escaping from the kaor yokai wouldn't be so hard after all- WATER!! SO MUCH WATER! Thom would have quickly begun to spit it out, stopping running a little bit and instead hitting the ledge he had been on before as he looked upwards towards where the random water had come from.

"Hey!" Thom frowned, watching as Gala was getting smacked around by the water. The black haired child turned around a bit, before calling down a strike of lighting, the blue crackling aimed towards the top of the kaor's head. "Hey stupid, fight me not her!" He called to it, obviously quite angry but hopefully this would get the monster's attention away from his friend.. Who..

Where.. Did she go? While he had been attackling the monster Thom had not noticed Gala get knocked off the top of the wall, and he continued staring at the empty space in confusion.
(Thom)
[13:52:12] Everything was getting blurry... what was happening? There was so much going on... he was fading, it was getting dark... and then...

BOOM

The small childs body would hit the ground with a thud. It was a good thing he wasn't too high, or he would seriously be hurt. But... that didn't mean he wasn't in danger. Damian had fallen unconscious. And the serpent was closing in on the fallen boys location, completely ignoring Thoms wishes.

It was a Kaor, it knew how to play with peoples emotions...

"Gala.." They boy would say. It appears that as he was falling, he could see beams of water being directed at Gala- although everything after that went blank... and the visions were back... things were back... and getting worse... Gala needed to come back, where ever she was- because the boys wouldn't be able to do this on their own...
(Damian Kyros)
[14:12:41] Everything sort of hurt. It was a far place to fall from, after all! Thankfully both the roof and the barrels broke her fall before the hit the ground. Laying in a pile off splinters and pain, young Gala carefully tries to blink and awaken from her 'sleep'. Slowly, very slowly, the girl pushes herself up and plucks various chunks of wood and slivers from her skin. Ouch….A little girl should not have to do this!

But then, she decided not to be a normal little girl.

Looking through the hole made in the roof, a frown would form on her lips. Standing up finally, she makes her way to the door and tries to open it. Locked…Fine! She would have to do this the hard way! Using her elbow, Gala gets a running start and rams herself into the door; but it holds. Rubbing the bruise now made on Gala's arm, she tries once more, and thankfully? The door's lock breaks and allows the wooden object to swing open. Huffing and puffing, the child looks up the wall to where the boys would no doubt be in trouble.

From down below, Thom might spot the girl safe and sound…Well, sort of. She was alive and slowly making her way up the wall! Gala hadn't a clue what the severity of the situation was, the child was just VERY angry and was going to make her way up one way or another.

Quite the colorful language was being murmured under her breath!

(Gala)
[14:25:29] Ah snap.

It appeared that Damian had fallen into the water, which made Thom frown and panic a little bit. His friend falling down in front of a kaor yokai, being left to its whims?.. No. Never again. Thom recalled the time he had been unable to save one of his friends.. The time his friend's body was hit with blade over and over and over, nearly draining the life out of him.

This time would be differnt. This time Thom wasn't going to let anyone hurt his friends. Breathing in, the sparks around Thom began to turn red, and the grey eyes narrowed on the yokai. The destructive power of occultism within the boy took grasp as he thought only one thing.

Destroy that which threatened his friends.

Channeling the dark energies all around him Thom leaped into the air, as high as he could, grabbing his glaive before using the built up eletical energy to send himself spiraling downarrds towards the creature, aiming for its eye. Essentially a piecing strike but with the sharp end of the weapon.

"Die!"
(Thom)
[14:48:32] Here we go again... blood... anger...hate...rage... the boy was being blinded by these vision of war. He could feel his adrenaline rushing more and more until finally something or someone shouted... 'Die!' This would quickly wake the boy from his dazed state. Quickly flipping to his feet the boy would spot Thom spiraling through the air, aiming directly down at the Serpent as it turned its head to the side.

"...Whats happening..." He whispered to himself before watching as Thom hit the beast directly in its jaw as it tried to avoid his attack. The Hellstorm attack would knock a few teeth out of the serpent's mouth as Guards rushed over to Gala's side shouting orders to one another!

The girl would be pushed and shoved by the guards as the two boys were left down there to fight. All Damian could see was Thom and the Serpent land in the water. The first to emerge would be the beast itself. It was hard to hear his friends with everything going on- what did they awaken?

Suddenly the young Kyros would try to pull himself together, trying to whip water at the serpent from land. But alas, he was far too weak to fight something like that! And there was no way in hell he was going to leap into the water and try to fight it? That was its natural element, and he didn't have a deathwish!

Suddenly a barrage of magics would fly from the wall! This, of course, made Damian's face scrunch up a little. Was that Gala! Or something else...? Of course, it were the guards attacking the serpent all at once warding it off and saving the children! The serpent would, of course, be hit with an overwhelming amount of attacks, forcing it to take its escape into the sea, leaving the guards to help Damian and Thom to the top of the wall.

It was over.
(Damian Kyros)
[15:03:53] The girl still felt light headed, wood stuck to her in odd ways. It was probably best she went to the medical ward, no doubt the child had taken the most hits from the monster….And the roof…AND the barrels. Honestly, it was a miracle Gala was even moving at ALL. Sitting back, watching as the guars go onto attack the Kaor, the green haired lass would lean against the back wall and just…Close her eyes. Everything REALLY hurt.

As the boys were pulled up, Gala would open her eyes once more. She had to make sure they were alright, otherwise? Otherwise she would be way too worried to actually get any rest! Pushing up, trying to push past guards to look at Thom or Damian, young Gala gives a small smile.

"You guys okay…?"

No doubt they would all get a nice ride to the Medical wing!

(Gala)
[15:13:16] One punch!!!!

Ok, not really but that is what it would look like from Thom's perspective. The glaive dug itself into the yokai's jaw, slicing free some of its blood and hitting out a few of its deeth. The crackling red aura sparked with exitment, and Thom would have been about to turn around to attempt to attack it again if not for the fact he forgot there was no solid land. The body made a large splash into the ocean, where he promptly saw many more splashes of all differnt ty;es of magic before the yokai fled.

Oh that was good. Thom began to swim upwards, towards the light one more, grabbing one of the yokai teeth and deciding to take it with him perhaps as a little treasure of the time he punched a yokai in the face. For now though.. He was ready to sit down. He swam over towards Damian, going to help the boy get to the wall before the both of them would be helped up by the guards.

It was at some point that Thom realized that the aura had gotten put out which was good because he would otherwise be eletrocuted. That would be bad.. But it was fine because it didn't happen. The boy would be the last one to the top of the wall.

"I'm fine!" He grinned. "Are you guys ok?.." the truth was he strangely hadn't been that hurt.. In fact all things given he was the least hurt wasn't he? "You guys should rest up."
(Thom)
[15:26:04] It was over... that was too much... Damian was clearly strained of Reika... and he was fading in and out of consciousness. He wouldn't be able to see the end of the battle... but he knew it was over. Slowly opening his eyes he would see Gala and Thom as Guards shuffled passed securing the area, giving the children a moment to breath.

"Candy... I need candy..."

Only those words would escape his lips. How could he be thinking about candy at a time like this? They could have died! "Gimme... candy." He said, just repeating his words over and over as he pointed to his soaking wet stuffed duck backpack.

"......Candy..." He said one last time with glazed eyes barely opened; shifting back and forth from Gala to Thom.
(Damian Kyros)
[15:39:44] Well, since the boys were okay?

Gala decided to finally pass out! I mean, she's five years old and fell through a ROOF. She may have been a magi, but she had no use of magic yet and was pretty much hanging onto consciousness by a thread at this point. Falling unto the floor, her whole world would go black.

Hopefully both she and poor Damian would get to a doctor!

Hint hint.

(Gala)
[15:43:08] Oh man,

Both the other kids were.. Well, one of them was passed out and the other seemed to be rather drained. Thom went over to Damian's back pack as the little prince of Alteros requested, going through it and retriving the candy before unwrapping and putting it in Damian's mouth. "Eat up friend." Then he glanced over to Gala, walking over.

It was a good thing that Thom was a big strong magi.. I mean, eventually even if you don't put points in that score you get stronger then normal humans. It was no problem to pick up Gala, and put her on his back before going up to Damian and picking up the boy in his arms.

Like this, and with the duck backpack between his teeth the boy began to make his way to Nostvale keep's infirmary. They needed to get healed after all.. Although it would take a while because even for magi kids, two kids are heavy. Maybe one kid is ok but two kids?

No. That was heavy for Thom.
(Thom)
