Forum-Index → Roleplay → Supernatural HG 4Suddenly the grass nearby rustled a little, then a young infant came crawling out, quietly gurgling and cooing as if lost. Ariel gasped out. "A baby?" With eyes growing hazy, very slowly she knelt down to it. "What are you doing out here little one?" She cooed in a soft motherly tone. As if to respond, the baby cooed to her and crawled into her arms, laughing slightly as Ariel's arms wrapped around it.
(Here come the babies

"There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone."
It was an eerie message, but somehow comforting. At the bottom, a final sentence could be seen: "What you seek is not impossible, so long as your will drives it." Phenix nodded to himself, looking up as he heard the wind rustle the grass.
T'val awoke with a grunt and a sigh, quietly murmuring, "Jamie?" before fully opening her eyes. With a quick chuckle, she sat up. "Not Jamie," he sighed, smiling at Narukami.
Gasping for breath, Sedric glanced over his shoulder. A small stream bubbled out of a hole in the hillside next to him, drawing his attention. Frowning in dismay, she started to follow it. The worst thing that could happen now was a Gamemaker's trap. And he'd clearly won the people's favor, so traps were a small worry to him.

(Sonic Screen: Iro creates a blue and red shield in the form of a CD)

The baby in Ariel's arms laughed a bit more as Ariel started to soothe the infant, but the Sorrento saw something that made survival instincts kick in: its eyes were flashing slightly as if indicating a warning of sorts. . .
Like it was going to explode.
Sedric froze, seeing that his new target had done something. Carefully, he crept forwards, preparing to leap at this new threat. Blinking, he surveyed his surroundings, then confirmed that it was safe. His body extended like a cat's, sending him flying out of the bush as his knife struck the shield, creating sparks as it was deflected. Rolling to a stop behind Iro, he stood and whipped around, preparing to strike again.
So caught up in his own memories of parenthood, Sorrento almost missed the warnings until it was almost too late. "Ariel!" He screamed as soon as he gave into his intuition and finally noticed the slightly flashing eyes, lunging forward to pull his wife back. He almost made it, pulling her back enough that the child was yanked out of her grasp but he wasn't fast enough.

(Infinite Echo: Iro shoots a vortex-like or crescent-shaped purple sonic beam of energy at the enemy)

Ariel was startled by Sorrento's shout of alarm, let alone him jerking her away, the infant fell from her grasp. Sorrento had just started pulling her away when the infant suddenly exploded, both of them were thrown by the explosion a short distance away as a pinkish ooze-like substance scattered around the area. Ariel screamed when a small portion of what now appeared to be acid, landed on her exposed arm. She was honestly too stunned to react much at first, from both the sudden wolf in sheep's clothing and the sudden burning of her skin. Ariel was finally able to come to enough sense to get most of the acid off, what little remained had been absorbed into her skin.
Ariel was shaking and crying, all she could think about was her unborn baby. Was she okay? What was this going to do to her?
Sedric ducked quickly under the blast, watching at is burst against a tree and scorched the bark and wood. After a moment, he turned and flickered into his heat vision, quickly spotting Iro and sprinting towards her. Leaping again, he went to strike at the young Tribute, before being knocked aside by something that seemed to have burst from the woods beside him.
Phenix had scowered the area, trying to hunt down Sedric before the other Tribute got away. He'd been alerted to noise nearby, and had quickly moved to intercept where he thought the sound might go. Seeing Iro, he had made to move towards her, only to spot Sedric in the dark a few feet away. As Sedric leapt, he did too, striking the older male in the side and sending him sprawling, if at the momentary cost of his bearings.
Flinching from the explosion, Sorrento immediately drew Ariel close, frantically checking over her. "Are you okay?! Ariel please, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." He said desperately, trying to figure out why she was curled up and crying. It sort of frightened him, seeing his normally strong and capable wife so shaken up.

Stop worrying Jaxon's voice appears in her head again. She winces, her heart wrenching in pain. Why did this keep happening? Jaxon couldn't do this, or could he? Was this just the Gamemakers messing with her? She sighs and sits down on the ground, deciding that she wants to spend this time meditating. Now was a better time than ever to get her powers back. Especially with most of the group injured. One ambush could be deadly.
She tries to relax, tries to put away her worries for Phenix. She tries to look inward. For a moment, she can almost feel her powers, but the feeling disappears quickly and is replaced by something new.
She could feel the powers around her. Since nobody close to her was currently using them, they were all dormant. The feeling felt so strange, yet so familiar.... She gasps in surprise and opens her eyes, which breaks the spell.
