Tale of Storys.

[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

Whenever I imagined Shima, I pictured her looking exactly like this chaarcter. So this is Shima.
NOTE: her ears are round, but she was 100% Elf:

[musashi]

**thats a nice picture.....she's very pretty (gets jealous and takes out anger on little bro)....(lol)**

[CoolNard]

**Yea.. she sure is beautiful.. Akuma was the one who killed her b4 shakura took over right? O_O she'd hv made a great wife, de gozaru.**

[musashi]

***Ok, um...scince no one is writing, I think I'm just gonna BS some, ok? Um...don't get mad at me though...k?***


I was so positive before that this 'Ichirin' was going to try and kill me, but now, I'm not so sure. Even though he seems nice, maybe I should stay cautious anyway. Maybe, I could ask to go with him and his little group of, whoever they are. I hope he lets me go. I can't stay here anymore. Too many memories...

*Flashback to Myzura's childhood*

"Mother!" called a little girl. She was about 6 years old and covered in dirt and ash. She looked around her small village. It had been burned to the gound, hardly a thing stood. "Mother!" she called out again. Her voice only echoed. After walking around her village for what seemed like forever, she called out one last time. "Mother?" Tears streamed down her face and the lonely little girl began to cry. She hid herself in what was left of her house and cried into the night.

*End flashback*

A tear trickled down my face as I remembered the lonelyness of my home village. I looked away from Ichirin, so he wouldn't see.

***thats all i can type...G2G, bye bye!***

[Ichirin]

Myzura and I were hiding behind a stone collumn in order to don't interrupt the fight. When the fight was still going on, Myzura tried to go check it out some times. At those moments i tried to make a conversation or else i just pushed her back. Cause these were things you didn't need to see, cause when the shadow comes up it will gain energy from you anger and by that making your furious it will be indestructable, these are things i noticed the last time when i fighted that creature.

I assumed that Tatsu went to back to Gruntz to heal his wounds. But though i could feel Tatsu's energy I couldn't sense the energy from Nozomi.

'What's wrong ?' I asked Myzura, i could sense she was thinking about something.

The moon was still shining into my red sparkly eyes. I went trough my hair with my hand, in order to put it like it's supposed to lie. Then i went trough my pocket, after a while i found my blindfold. I leached it back onto my face then my senses were optimal, cause when i didn't have my blindfold on i didn't see anything, but actually i see something, i see grey when you're supposed to see black. And when i put on my blindfold the grey turns into a deep black colour that swallows you into his endless galaxy.

PS: CoolNard, you said something about my weapon when the beam came out, it's a weapon it's high elven magic..actually too high for a boy my age, my real weapons aren't used often it are my guns, mother & father. And my elven magic is taken to a higher level, cause normally you have to say or write down some words in order to complete the spell, i do that same thing with my mind.

PS:Musashi, that's how i actually started my character Ichirin, by the picture of Riku you currently have as avatar, so if you need to picture Ichi, then you'll look at Riku

(Nozomi's Mind)

Our lips met as they have many times in the past, and every time it would send shivers up and down my back, "I love you, so much" I say softly. We embrace each other, for what I hope would be forever, he looks at me with his big round eyes and says, "I'll love you forever... Forever and a day" Tears fill my eyes.

"Whats wrong Shima?" he says, His face looks concerned. "I'm so happy... I just..." I cry some more thinking about what I'm going to say "I can't wait Im so excited" I said with a soft smile "Tomorrow is another day."

He smiles gently his face turns a light red. "Yes tomorrow is another day"

[CoolNard]

**oh, my bad ichirin. Thx for the compliment kanji**

"Swiftant.. You've failed me for the first.. and the last time..", Shakura whispers into my ears. I can't see anything, i can't move but her voice seems to be coming from all around me.

"No, no My Graciousness! Don't desert me! You still haven't help me to avenge my family and friends! Please, don't...", I yell into the darkness.

"Hahaha.. help you to avenge your family??We ARE the ones who killed everyone in your village!", Shakura's tone now sarcastic.

"Wha.. What are you insinuating??", I freeze, my entire body seems to have lost all life, her words seem to split me in half. Everything I had believed in, that i stood for - my dreams, hopes, ambition, satisfaction, the lives of the people I have brutally stole... down the drain with those words.

"I thought that you'd be able to defeat them.. but u lack ruthlessness, decisiveness. You hesitated.. and even before that, i already knew deep down u have been resisting the impulse to kill.. You, Swiftant, have foolishly deviated from my teachings.. and now have no longer any right to call yourself the DragonSin.."

"Naze(why).. Naze!? NAZE!!!!!!", i shout at her until my voice gets hoarse.

"Power, of course.. I aim to conquer the world with my bare claws and dragonarmy. The Freedom Fighters, even though they don't realise it themselves, are obviously merely a pretext to soften mankind's heart and let his guard down.. The only problem so far, is the ex-SilverDragon. He's the only one who can beat me.. but the child is loved by so many.. I'm sure they wouldn't let allow anything to happen to her.. hahaha... I'm a genius, whoohoohoo... Oh by the way, the reinforcements that i sent, they have received orders to crush the weakened lot of you. This shall be the final time we meet.., Swiftant the DragonSin!", and with those words, she's gone.

My eyelids flutter open. It takes me afew minutes to realise i'd been unconscious. I can still remember the dream i had.. all too vividly..

Thinking: It's gotta be a premonition.. It wasn't just a dream then.."

Forcing myself to calm down,my eyes turning to the colour of sky, I glance around at my surroundings. It appears to be some sort of wooden house. I suddenly realise that my body is no longer hurting. All the cuts have closed up.

Thinking: The elvish magic user with the sword, he saved me. But why did he treat my wounds? I don't recall doing anything to help them, infact, i was so bent on finishing them off.. Shakura turned out to be my enemy afterall... Why is the world going topsy-turvy..

I smell something delicious in the air. I deck myself in my ninja outfit and walk out of the room, towards what looks like a kitchen, following the fragrance. There is a fireplace there, by the rug, with Tatsu, Nozomi and the female warrior sitting on it. Ichirin is leaning against a wall, his arms crossed.

Thinking: They're good, they must have heard me coming and prepared themselves on short notice.

"Hi there Swiftant, won't you join us?", the warrior woman with the pearl-white skin asks with a beautiful smile. I step forward cautiously.

"Why're you being so generous to me? How do i know this isn't some kind of trap?", I snap.

"I think it's time to tell you the truth." Tatsu speaks. "Nozomi has a rare ability that enables her to sense the presence of dragons, and even dragon thoughts. When she was still unconscious, she heard everything that was said between you and shakura."

"You've been asleep for 5hours Swiftant. I woke up after three.", Nozomi sticks her tongue out at me.

"The point is Swiftant, Nozomi was able to describe the whole encounter you had with Shakura in your dream.", Ichirin says. Consequently,he and the rest begin pouring out the exact words that Shakura and I had exchanged with each other. My knees give way not in surprise to Nozomi's ability but to the feeling that had been stored inside me since Shakura's betrayal. I'd intially made an oath to myself never to cry. However, the emotions i feel at the present are just too overwhelming and my vision is blurred by tears.

"Yes, i'd like to join all of you, but only because Tatsu helped me defeat Akuma and I'd like to return the favor, and also.. that i need your help to avenge my village's honour.", i reply after afew moments of thinking. "Somehow, even though i know the truth now, i still cant erase the grudge i bear against humankind.. and you guys just can call me Swift." There is a deafening silence as the others nod approvingly in acknowledgement - until...

"Hey! So what should we do about Shakura's reinforcements then?", Nozomi suddenly asks.

**hope i went inside each of ur characters head perfectly lol, but if u guys arent content with it then jus pm me the corrections or smth and i'll edit it**

[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

I hadn't forgotten about the Dragon Army that approached Thauk Sul. "This little town doesn't need a war." I say to everyone. "All the people here are either elderly, or middle-aged lumberjacks...It is best to carry the fight into the fields, outside the forest far away from here."

Thinking: I don't feel like fighting. every since I met these people my life has been chaotic. At least there is never a dull moment now. I laugh in my head. This fur rug is so warm, but I got to get up now. I stand and start to gather my belongings. As we prepare ourselves Gruntz re-enters his house.

" You young people. Always getting into fights with each other, when you just going to learn to get along." Gruntz puffs on his pipe and lets out a small sigh. "I'm giving you kids some decent food. You can't fight or travel on a empty stomach. I'd invite you all to dinner, but you appear to be heading out.

Gruntz gives each of us a little carry bag. Filled with breads, cheese, left over stew, and some beef jerky. "good luck to you young folks. Don't get yourselves killed. your adventures may be a nice story to tell to ye' grandkids some day." Gruntz laughs, he loses his breath and sits down. You all better go. It'll be nightfall in a couple hours and that forest is awful in the dark. Bandits and burgulars wait for anyone who strays."

As we exit Gruntz's house I say my farewells and give a last look at Zeneba's grave site.

Thinking: Our group has grown. We were once 3, now there is 5..Will anyone else join our growing force. Our name will surely spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom, as the Human scum. We should give them a nice name to call us by. haha I laugh to myself again. But, I am pretty much the only person over 20 here. So I have a bigger responsiblity as the eldest.

We head for Thauk Sul's forest. There we intend to counter and push back the Dragon Army that is coming. If they don't find us they'll torch Thauk Sul, so we are going to have to face them. We all psyche ourselves up and get ready for a battle.... This will be like a small war.....

[musashi]

***OMG! this is getting so exciting! I love this! ok, I'm going to type some.***

"Come on, I'll show you guys a secret." I said. I erged the fighters of the upcoming battle to fallow me. I took them out into the forest to a large tree. After knocking on it a couple of times, I pulled on a branch, and a small door opened. "Let's go. We don't have all day..." We climbed inside.

"What is this place...?" asked Swift as we entered.

"This...is an armory. Just because we of Tauk Sul are mostly middle-aged and elderly doesn't mean we don't know how to protect ourselves." I snapped, nicely.

"Well, it is nice..." stated Ichirin.

"It is...Well, boys, go ahead, and grab some. Surely you will need some sort of armor?"

[musashi]

After about an hour of chosing who gets what armor, I suggested we all go back to the hut. As we headed back, I pulled Ichirin to the side. I didn't know why, but I felt the need to spend more time with him. "So, Ichirin, um...hi..." I said shyly as we walked through the forest together. He just kind of looked at me and smiled. I smiled back. He made me feel so much better. When I'm around him, I don't feel like a warrior, but instead, an actual woman.


***All I got...sorry***
