The Quest (Story)

It didn't work. Dammit, I'll just tell him anyway... she thought, her mind even more tired than it was before. She wanted to just fall and go to sleep. It didn't matter where at the moments, but she really really wanted to.

"I... Am not an angel. What kind of angel brings the dead back to life?" she asked quietly. Tink's limp hand seemed to attempt to grab her hand, so she took it gently, not wanting to hurt him anymore than he already was. She heard his requests from answers, answers she really didn't want to tell. Slowly, she lifted her head and smiled meekly at him, the little grin taking up a lot of effort.

"They hit you into a wall... because they wanted some form of insurance that I'd heal you. They threatened to destroy the town- to kill each member, starting with your family. But... I had a little bit of a plan in mind, though it is not an extraordinary one. I'm not particularly bright, you see..." she bit down on her lip to keep from rambling. "It turns out I cannot... erm... mind talk, but I had to try anyway..." she sighed and shook her head, a useless chuckle dancing in her throat. "We have an hour to get to the outskirts of town, but it doesn't take that much time to get there. And they took my weapons... And the belt."

Her voice was a hoarse whisper, but it was quiet and clear to anyone near her. She was sure she had rambled off somewhere, but it didn't really matter to her at the moment.

((OOC: Wow, sorry about my last paragraph. I wrote it this morning in a bit of a hurry, so I edited it.))

"You are an angel, at least to me. I wasn't quite dead, just...dying. Since I quite like living, you are nothing short of a miracle." Tink says in a low voice as he tries to give Kiylo's hand a squeeze. He winces, unsure if his arm or wrist is broken or just sprained and bruised. "I'm much better now, really."

He listened to her. "I am rather confused by everything, but I suppose it is forgivable seeing as I was punch through a wall and fell...five? Six? stories to what should have been my inevitable doom. Why did they want to ensure that you healed me? Seems like they could have just...not tried to kill me instead?" He says the last words like a question, obviously perplexed by the whole endeavor.

With a sigh, he attempts to sit up, groaning as he moves. "Tell me of your plan and I will see what we can do to fulfill it. Did they take just the bow? Or did they take the glass projectiles as well? And...don't worry about it...they are just things. Things can be replaced, people cannot. I am glad they didn't get you instead." He brings Kiylo's hand to his lips, brushing it against them. "We don't have much time I gather. I hate the thought of hurting anyone, but I could not live with myself if I allowed my family to come to harm because of me."

Kiylo felt her eyes water up some before she took her other hand and pulled it across her face, wiping away the little tears away. With a soft sigh, she regained her ability to speak without shakiness or breaking back into tears. She listened to him, staying silent and keep her eyes trained on the ground beside his head.

She was feeling really tired, as if she had all of her will drained out of her and then she was dropped off of a cliff. Slight aches where she had seen Tink's puncture wounds, were developing in her own chest. They were dull pains though, as if she could feel them, but they were so distant and faint. It happened almost everything she healed someone; it was the cost of using her magic.

When Tink attempted to sit up, she helped him, trying to make it as painless as she could. With a slight nibble on her lip, she leaned back onto her legs and placed her open hand on her lap, allowing Tink to still hold onto the other.

"My plan... Oh... My plans aren't really all that good and the one I have is just as bad as those..." she said quietly, looking at Tink with guilt written all over her face. "Erm, we could go get some weapons from the town... Or maybe we could-" she stopped herself, putting her free hand to her lips, trying hard to think. "Or we could trick them. Use a bit of wit?" she sighed and shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again.

She wasn't smart, or bright. She only knew what she knew and now, nothing was really coming to mind due to her frayed nerves. She just watched one of the kindest people she knew almost die and then come back to life, and then her group leader kinda went insane and made everything crazy.

"HEHHHEH HEHEHEEAHAHAAH AHAHA EHHEAAHEAH! Ahh just an update you have fifty minutes! Might want to hurry up and figure something out cause, time is ticking! HEEHEHEHAHEAHE AHEHAE HAHEHAEHHAE HAHEHA EHHEHA AH HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!"
The voice said.

Tink hated seeing Kiylo cry. He brought his free hand to her cheek, feeling a deep sort of comfort in holding her hand just now. "Weapons are not a problem...I have all sorts."

He leaned heavily against Kiylo, his body sore and his heart aching. Then, the voice filled the air again. He gave Kiylo's hand a squeeze. "It will be alright. We will think of something together. Do not sell yourself short. We all have our gifts. Yours is special, me, I'm just smart...smart people are plentiful. " He leaned forward, a grimace on his face. "We can help each other now. But, if we are to do something, I need to stand up. Can you help me?"

Kiylo winced when he touched her face. It was out of habit, seeing as how her crazed care-taker had beat her into submission every time Kiylo had disagreed with her. It took a moment before she relaxed and closed her eyes, allowing herself to have just a tiny break from reality. Soon, his hand slid away from her face and she opened her eyes again.

The voice echoed around the tower, reminding them again and again how they have just used up ten minutes. She felt a pang of worry hit her suddenly, realizing they had little time left to rescue their friends. Staring at the ceiling, she felt Tink move forward, as if he were trying to get up. When he asked her to help him stand, she nodded and got up on her knees, attempting to help steady his upper body before he was back on his feet.

"Do you see anything that looks out of place in this area? Like a light or some random floating objects? I need to know so I can get the appropriate things to help your head... I think you may have a concussion..."

Tink almost slumped over the moment he stood. his vision tunneled on him, white, glimmering fliers out of the periphery of his vision danced around, taunting him. "Oh...yes...I think you are right. I see...tunnel vision and lights...and I feel a bit queasy." He took an unsteady step forward, trying to get his bearings. "We can worry about that later. We have to get to my workshop. I think I have a plan."

He looks at his watch to check the time. "Hmm...not a very good plan mind you, but I don't have the time to implement a good plan right now. If I had a little more time I would set up projectors all over town to make it look like we just blew it up and wiped it off the face of the earth. Then they would think there is nothing left for them here. Sadly, I don't have the time to do that, so I think we will go get some of my automotons and restock on weapons."

He reached out for Kiylo, offering her his hand. "We can do this. I know we can. We can protect the town."

Kiylo nodded, listening to his description of what he was seeing and watched him for a moment before he took a step forward. With a swift step that was a bit run on whatever adrenaline she had left, she helped him balance out again, placing a hand on his back. When he stood a bit better then before, she took her hand away, but she stayed close just in case.

The plan was much better then her own, but it would be a lot on Tink right now. She bit down on her bottom lip, trying to make her mind move faster so she could possibly come up with a way to heal him some more. The ache from her chest was fading away now, but it was still there, nagging at her to do something about it, but there was nothing she could do.

"That's going to be a lot on you, Tink, and you're already really hurt. But..." she took his hand and smiled a little. "I agree with you. We can." She stared at him for a moment, just finding it incredible how he was so sure that they could do what was almost impossible. When she realized she was staring, she looked away and glanced around the room for an exit from the tower.

She had gotten used to the goggles that helped her see in the darkness. They had erased her fear of the darkness and whatever had lurked in it and had forgotten that she had been wearing them the whole time. She found the exit easily, a darkened wood door with a bit of light seeping out of the bottom of it was on the wall where they were, just about 3 yards away from them.

She pointed at it, and said, "The way out is over here."

Tink led Kiylo back through the town to his house. Once there, he led her into his workshop. The place had seen better days...much better days. The dark work space was abandoned, no lights were on in the house either.

It looked like it had been ransacked- likely by the guards who had been here earlier in the day. It felt like it had been ages since then already. Tink looked around and pressed a button...nothing happened. "Looks like they got the lights."

Moving some of the debris in his workshop, he found an overturned cabinet. Turning the winder on his watch, he popped open the back, a key falling out of it. he inserted the key into the lock on the cabinet, then punched in some numbers into a pad behind the lock. With a hiss of air, the sideways cabinet opened. "Good, they are still here. It took me four months to build these. And another two months to get them working properly."

Inside was what looked like a metal dog- two of them sort of tangled up together. Tink frowned, looking at them. No, they were okay, just a little twisted up. He tried to pull one out of the cabinet, but swooned slightly as he leaned over. Steadying himself on the upturned furniture, he took a deep breath. He reached out and pressed a button on the "neck" of the metal dogs and they came to life..

The pair of automotons righted themselves and stood on all fours. "Now, we have two more companions to help us. Companions that can't be mind controlled because they have no minds." He smiled at Kiylo. "Now, let us see to weapons. What do you feel comfortable with? I do not want you to spill any blood. For someone with your gift it's just...not right. Maybe some protection as well?"

Tink looked at his watch, "Erg, 35 minutes left."

Kiylo looked at the metal dogs and couldn't help but feel a bit curious about them. She knelt down and patted one on it head. When it moved, she jumped and stood back up, her eyes wide. She had never seen anything like that before and had only read about such things in books.

When Tink had asked her about what weapon she would like, she stopped moving and thought for a few seconds. Through her mind, thoughts raced by with weapons from books she had flipped though with a few fight scenes. She could only think of the more popular ones, like swords and crossbows. Suddenly, she remembered a young fighter who didn't kill her opponents, but made them sleep so they wouldn't get up and try to fight her again.

"Erm... Do you have a crossbow that is able to fire darts? I can make a sedative rather quickly if I have access to Valerian root oils. I have some in my kitchen at home." she said, relaying her thoughts to Tink.

"I have better...Valerian Root takes between 10 and 20 minutes work and even then it is not guaranteed to work without a huge dose that has a chance of producing toxemia. I have a bottles of different benzodiazepines around here somewhere. It is a chemical sedative."

He looked around in some of the opened cabinets for things that remain. "Here we go... chloro-fluorophenylhydroxy....err a sleep inducer." He looked at the chemical symbol on the bottle. "This one is good, you only need half an mg to activate it."

He set the bottle down on the one table that was was not overturned. After that he goes about digging through his ransacked workshop, eventually pulling a large box out of the way. He stomps on the floor board and it lifts up revealing a lever. He pulls on the lever and a wall slips open revealing a large supply of weapons.

The hidden cache seems to be split it two sections, lethal and non lethal. Bows, crossbows, swords, rods of various sizes and shapes, darts, more of those little glass balls (each one in a jar clearly labeled with Sleep, Endothermic, Shock, Explosive, Illumination, Exothermic, Caustic, Sonic or Smoke), daggers, whips, hand sized metallic orbs, and a large box. The box is the only thing unlabeled.

Tink takes the box and opens his pocket watch, putting it carefully inside. "Take your pick."

Kiylo picked up the vial and studied it, a bit intrigued by the chemical. She turned it over in her hands and read over it a few times. When the sound of Tink's stomping filled the air, she looked up with a curious look on her face.

The doors that opened were hidden, and it surprised her a bit. She placed the vial on the counter before she walked over to cache, her gaze staying down at the ground so she didn't trip. She looked up and her eyes widened.

So many weapons glared back at her, and she found what she had wanted. A metal crossbow that could fit the darts that rested on a shelf. She took them from the shelf and then turned to Tink.

"Will this do?" she asked.

"Whatever you are most comfortable with. You can also use the pre-made sleep marbles." He nodded slightly. "You can use whatever you like though. Just dip the tips in the darts. There are also some tranquilizer darts there that will inject a bit on contact."

He took a crossbow himself, but his was one of the modified ones to shoot the glass marbles. He took several of the marbles from the labeled jars, dropping each one into a different holder on a belt that he strapped around his waist.

"Now...maybe some body armor. I have something that is two layer and can help to stop both projectiles and stabbing or slashing weapons. It will still hurt to get hit by them, they don't absorb force, but at least you won't get cut." He looked over Kiylo, "And what I have may be a little big on you...but it is better than nothing." He opened a drawer and pulled out a vest- obviously made to be skin tight, but would be a bit large on Kiylo. It looked like a layer of some sort of cloth and a layer of chainmail woven together.

He whistled three short notes and the two automotons came to heel by his feet. "Do we want anything else before we head over there?"

"HEHEAHHEHAHEAHEHA EHAHEAHEH AOHOHOHOH HOHOH HOAAH AH HA HA HAAAAAAA! Just another update you have ten minutes! I would hurry! I am becoming terribly bored waiting for you. And when I get bored people die! SO HURRY
UP! That is all! HEE HEEE AHAHAHA AHAHAHAH AHAHAHA OHHOHOHOH AHAHAHAEHEHEHEHE HOHOHOH AH HA HA HAAAAAAAA!" the voice said again. He was anxious to meet his opponents.

Kiylo had taken off her jacket before she put on the shirt. When it was on, she slipped her red coat back on. She looked around the room and then shook her head. There was nothing more she wanted to take with her.

The voice echoed through the room and looked around. Only ten minutes? But..." she thought worriedly. She looked at Tink with wide, scared eyes. There's no way we can get there on time! Tink's still hurt, and walking's still hard for him... She bit on the inside of her lip and shook her head at him.

"No... There is nothing. We better be on our way." she said, her voice quivering.

"Let us head out then." Tink said as he finished slipping on his armored, protective vest. "We should have enough time. I do wish I had time for a better plan though." He sighed, grimacing as he led Kiylo from the room, still unsteady on his feet, but trying to pretend otherwise.

He slipped a long blade into his belt, but held onto the crossbow as he left his home- his workshop. He whistled, then called, "Come Spot 1 and Spot 2." The metallic dogs came bounding after him, the clank of their gears audible.

Kiylo grabbed Tink's arm gently and pulled it over her shoulders before slipping an arm behind his back to help support him. She looked up at him with a curious look in her eyes as she inquired, "If you need help, why do you not ask for it?"

In the back of her mind, this shouted extremely awkward to her, but she was in the ultimate doctor mode. If he died on her again, she wouldn't have enough will to heal him as she did earlier. She didn't want for anyone else to get hurt, but lives are the cost of a revolution and to her, it was a sad, but very true statement.

She didn't mean to seem like a curious child, but with her it came natural. When she wanted to know something, she went out and looked for it. And it was a rare occasion when she didn't ask a question about any subject at all. She wanted to know a little bit more about Tink, so she went on ahead without thinking and asked.

Maybe it was just the side effects of a adrenaline rush, or that she sometimes acted without thinking- but now she was trying to hold onto something that is slowly slipping out of her reach. The innocence- the clean hands that have never harmed another soul, but only cleansed- was slowly trying to wiggle out of her hands and now she was absolutely not going to let go of it.

Tink blushed slightly, "Well, not because I didn't want to, I just didn't want you to use up your strength and stamina before we got there." He sighed, "But truly, I am grateful for the help. You are too good to me. Maybe when we get a bit closer though I should walk on my own."

He walked to where they were supposed to meet the villain outside of town arm in arm with Kiylo, the canine automotons loping beside them as they moved as quickly as they could through town to get there on time.

"HEHEHEHE HAHAHAHA HHAHA AHAHAH! Finally you got here and with two minutes to spare," the voice said. He was invisible so no one could see him. "Now. Prepare. To. DIE! HEHAHEHAHE AHAHAHAHE AH HA HA HA!" He flicked his hand and everything went pitch black. "HAAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! Try to fight me in the Black Nothing! HEHEHEH HAAHAHAHAH AHAHAAH OHOHOh AH HA HA HA!" he said. The Black Nothing is a zone that is real and not real at the same time. It was made by the countries main religion sontanics, it is the sontanics version of hell. The black nothing has no light and can only be reached by dieing or through ghosts who can summon it.

Before Kiylo could say anything else, a loud voice echoed around them. She looked up at the path in front of them and saw no one at all. All that was there were some trees. That was all she could see before darkness shrouded them- no light in the area at all.

But she had a slight advantage, and so did Tink. The goggles that covered their eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and she could see a vague silhouette of something floating in the distance. She looked over at Tink, a worried look on her face.

"Don't die on me again." she said quietly as she pulled her arms to her sides. "If you call me too good to you, repay it by not dying." She loaded one of the darts into the crossbow she had and then aimed at the at silhouette.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAH HHEHEHEHEHE EHEHEHE AH HA HA HA! Now Now, no need to point weapons!" he said, He pointed his hand at the girl and made her point it towards Tink, "Why would you try to kill your friend? You are such a bad friend! AHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAH AAAAHHAHAHAHAHAH EHEHEHEH OHOHOHO AH HA HA HA!"
(Whenever I post as somebody else, the puppeteer is controlling you)

She pointed the crossbow at Tink's stomach and she said, "NO! NO NO NO NO NO! Please do not make me do it! Please, I am begging you!"

"Fine, then chose Kotori or Hegoror!" he said, he brought them out to show her. "CHOSE!"

Tink tried to get his eyes to adjust to the darkness. He shifted the settings on his goggles and frowned. "Spot 1, Spot 2- Illuminate." The automoton's eyes became bright with phosphorescent light. He looked up just in time to see Kiylo pointing her weapon at him, he knew the weapon was non-lethal, but apparently the villain did not. In fact, with his body armor, the dart wouldn't even penetrate to the skin.

Best not to let on though. Hopefully Kiylo realized this as well and was just playing along. He mocked shock at the fact that Kiylo pointed a weapon at him.

He tried to think about the source of this villainy. Who and where the dastardly being could be. He switched the setting on his goggles to infrared, looking for heat source, failing that, he switched to ultraviolet looking for spirits.

I'd kill Hegoror... But... He'd be useful... But he might kill us all... Wait- Tink has armor, and its just a sedative... She had thought for too long, allowing herself to think for as long as she could so she could help Tink. He didn't need any more pain inflicted on him, but if anything, it would just put him to sleep if it went through the armor by accident.

She would need to act better then she already was, as if she were pondering who she would shoot. Her eyes flashed at each person, her hands trembling madly, as if she really didn't want to do this at all.

I think I am going to wait... Wait until the puppeteer makes me choose... If it is Tink, he is safe- and while I kinda want to hit Kotori, I shouldn't... Unless... she bit on her lower lip, fake tears welling up in her eyes. He was still being controlled... Like he was before... like I was just now...

"I-I can't choose..." she whimpered.

(this is now the puppeteers color)
"Oh, well if you are too much of a coward to chose between your friends," the voice said, "Then, what about the FOURTH OPTION!" He said. He moved his hand and made her point the crossbow at her head. "Do you like this decision? If not you need to choose or by the count of ten your brains will be spilled all over the floor! AHHAHAHAH AHAHEHEHHEH HEHEHEH E OHOHOHOH OHOOHO OHOHOHOHHO AH HA HA HAAAAAAA!"

She was forced to point the crossbow at her head. She was closing her eyes, fearing that this may be her last few moments of life.

Kotori woke up and saw darkness and Kiylo pointing a crossbow at her head. Tink looked like he was going to die but, then again he did just fall five stories. He couldn't move his arms or legs. He saw two robot dogs, obviously tinks work. He used his own method of deduction to figure out how to solve this predicament. How are those dogs controlled? Tink doesn't have a remote, Kiylo wouldn't know how to use the remote even if their was one... So, they must be voice activated... Now how can I get the dogs to save us? Think..... THINK..... AHA! She may be under the puppeteers control, but the dogs can't. She can't control her muscles like I can't so she couldn't..... AHA! "KNOCK THE CROSSBOW OUT OF HER HAND! TINK MAKE THE DOGS KNOCK IT OUT OF HER HAND!" he yelled.

The dogs do not respond to Kotori's voice. They weren't programmed to it. Tink sighed at the voice across the field. It would be stupid to make them universally voice activated and let anyone control them. Only an idiot would do that.

Tink wasn't overly worried about Kiylo blowing her brains out, with the weapon she had, she couldn't. It wasn't made that way. There wouldn't be enough force to punch through the bone in her skull. Still, Kotori was obviously freaking out. "Spot 1, fetch dart bow only." The metallic canine pounced in that direction. With an ungraceful leap, it bounded to the crossbow, snatching it from Kiylo's hand. "Spot 2, find the voice that said 'FOURTH OPTION' and track."

Spot 1 trotted over to Tink and dropped the weapon at his feet. He reached down to grab it.

His hand trembled around his own weapon. It was loaded with an Illumination round so that whatever it hit would light up like the full moon, making it easy to track and follow. He was fairly certain that wrist was broken. But, he could power through that if he had to. It wasn't badly broken if it was. Certainly it hurt to move his fingers, but he could do it. The other arm was just sore and bruised and his off hand which made things harder to do.

He started his walk after Spot 2, a weapon in each hand and a long blade on his hip. "Spot 1, heel." he said, the other metal golem walking by his side.

Kiylo dropped the act she was putting on and the shaking in her hands was even worse then it was before. Her eyes were wide with fear and she could feel little droplets of water beading on her forehead, scared of what was going to happen next.

She was so frightened that she was speechless. She could say nothing. When she tried to open her mouth to speak, only a squeak came out before she clamped her jaw shut. She hadn't expected this. She hadn't expected to die to soon.

Suddenly, one of the robotic dogs came flying at her. She wanted to duck and move, but she was frozen in place. The dog barely missed her, but it took the weapon, allowing her to no longer be in danger.

A wave of fresh relief washed over her as she collapsed down to her knees, her eyes still wide. It was rather shocking to know that she was almost killed by her own hand- and unwillingly at that.

"AHAHAHAH AHAHA AH HA HA HAAAA! SO, you finally found a way to rescue the girl, well done. Now lets see if you can fight all three of your friends at once!" he said. He started moving his hands every which way as if he was actually controlling marionettes.

The girl got up and started running toward Tink.

The crab monster, curled into a ball and started rolling towards Tink.

Kotori started running, but he was trying to fight it. He had a lot of strength unlike Kiylo. He kept trying to fight it, he started only jogging, then slowing to a walk, and finally to a stop. He was using a lot of his energy in trying to break free. He was trying hard, Come on fight it... HRRRR.... Don't use it........ Do not use it! HRRRRRRRRRR....... He couldn't fight the urge to use it, "Satore el rath soh MASS!" he said. The ancient spell of freedom, used by the ancient gods of the world to free others and themselves. A bright light radiated around Kotori, and the chains that binded him broke. He ran over to Tink to help save him, he turned towards Hegoror and said, "Toroth sampot de shol MOOF," the spell of immobility it stops anything. Hegoror was stopped in his tracks.

Hegoror suddenly couldn't move and was glad that he wouldn't be able to hurt Tink.

It was too late to use a spell on Kiylo, he just fought her hand to hand. She went to kick Kotori in the head, but he blocked it with his hand. She tried to punch him in the stomache but, He blocked it with his leg. She grabbed his leg and threw him, he landed perfectly on his feet, and said "Satore el rath soh MASS!" he set her and Hegoror free. "Sol tol amra dell LUMINO" the spell of light that can bring light almost anywhere and show anything. Due to the Black nothing having no light he couldn't do that but, he was able to reveal the Puppeteer.

"I don't need to fight my friends, I just need to fight you. Spot 2! Subdue! Spot 1, bite his hands off." Tink said, done with this nonsense. He pointed toward the puppeteer, lifting the orb launcher in his hand. He let the Illumination round fly. He cast a side long glance to Kotori, who was busy with Kiylo and his spells.

"Let's see you puppet without your hands, hmm?" He lifted his other hand, half tempted to shoot the sedative dart into Hegoror as he walked past the crab man, disgusted by the thought of him at the moment. He was half disgusted with Kotori too. He could have used his spells at any time and waited until now. He could have freed Hegoror without the muss and fuss at the tower. He could have not gotten into this situation in the first place. He didn't need Tink's help at all, yet got him into this situation: endangered him, nearly killed him, gotten his family threatened and worst of all, dragged an innocent girl into the whole thing.

"SAL TALL NOS TOLONO ME NOLORO!" The spell of slowness, used to slow down even the fastest of objects or things, he slowed down the whole Black nothing. He hit the arrow away from the puppeteer. Took the crossbows from Tink, and threw them very far. As time started to go back to normal, Kotori said, "SHAT ALAL MERP STALLAL KAAAAY OPAAAAHEL," The spell of reversal, used properly turns anything opposite. He aimed it at the Puppeteer which turned him from good to evil.

"ERRRAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! !" HE yelled as he felt a sudden mind frame change, he suddenly felt like being evil wasn't right.
"Huh? Wha- wha- WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME! You made me not want to be evil, but how? I thank you. AS I said before the people who could beat me which were you four may be granted one wish a piece. What are your wishes?" he asked them, "Be warned, I cannot do anything huge. I know one of you will try to ask if the world can be freed. I cannot do that, it must be a wish in which my powers can actually accomplish. So, knowing that what do you guys want?"

Kiylo just fell to the ground, her body weak from all that had happened. Fighting was not her strong suit and it had taken a lot out of her. She didn't like having to hurt anyone, or be hurt for that matter either.

She glared up at the puppetmaster, her eyes filled with a hatred that she absolutely meant. She didn't like anyone who intended harm on those she cared for.

Slowly, she forced herself to stand up, her legs wobbling dreadfully as she put any weight on them at all. Kiylo was not a strong girl at all, and it didn't take a lot to make her fall. It was all too easy for her to be beaten in a fight, so she avoided them as much as possible.

She looked at Tink, the anger fading from her eyes. "Are you okay?" she asked, ignoring the ghostly man. She didn't want a wish from that monster. It was just like what had happened with Hegoror- a monster that was turned good. She managed to get to the young man.
