Breath of Fire Arc

Ami concentrated on the stone mirror.

[Dracos]

Before Ami's intensely concentrating eyes...Nothing Happened.

Ami nodded as she began the process of elimination.

Now she tried to letting her mind wander, not concentrating on anything in particular, just
letting herself relax...calm....cool....at peace...

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder simply sat and watched the stone tablet, with the world around him shut out...

Hey, having to listen to Ayeka and Ryoko fight all the time will do wonders for one's ability to shut things out after all.

Great Dragon God, these two behind me deserve your blessings far more than I... I have murdered innocents, and have destroyed entire planets without breaking a sweat.  I admit to my sins freely, and ask that if you want to strike me down, then leave these two out of it...  Their only sin was believing in me through what I've done...  Please, I beg of you, place your hand of protection over them...

And, as Ryder thought his prayer, he heard nothing of Ami's attempts...

[Dracos]

Far above the concentrating ami...  the curious hotaru... and the praying for sweet oblivion Ryder.


The sky began to twist...  space shifting about itself as it felt something tearing at it.  To those cosmically aware...a rift was opening in existence.  A single form fell through, a statuesque beauty whose eyes widened in surprise as she found herself hundreds of feet above the ground.

The rift closed behind her...  Disa now a relatively permanent member of this universe.

Disa screamed quite a colorful verbal description of the Fates, oddly enough the occasional curse to her big sister being thrown into the mix.

Clad only in a simple white sundress, the lightly tanned woman squealed in feminine indignation as she tried her best to hold her dress down.

That's when she finally saw through the veil of thick black hair and noticed that the ground was approaching at a frightening rate.

Time for a little hocus pocus, it seemed.

Reaching out to the source of power that fed and nurtured her, she confidentally smirked.

Hundred foot drop?

No sweat.

Her plummet began to slow down as she began to tap into her power. Moments later, she breathed a sigh of relief as she gently touched down on the burning ground.

"Isn't this peachy." She quietly muttered, irritably shoving a platinum bang out of her eyes. She let out a gasp of horror as she realized...

"I'm in no man's land!"

Her mecha!

Disa felt like crying.

That's when she felt it.

"Wha...ARGH!" She suddenly collapsed to her knees, dry heaving for about ten minutes. Finally rising, albeit shakily, she held a hand up to her chest.

It felt...

It felt like part of her soul had been ripped away.

"Father..." That's when she began to frantically look around her for any kind of shelter.

Gone was the majestic woman...

To be replaced by a scared little girl whimpering in the dark...

[Dracos]

Not far from where Disa landed, the very stone city where Ami, Hotaru, and Ryder sought the aid of the dragon god stood.  The vague sense of the divine flowing around it, visible to Disa's eyes.

Disa fought to calm her frayed nerves. Nodding unsteadily to herself, she firmly brushed the remaining soot off her formerly pristine sundress.

She'd get help...

They could help her get back home...

Right?

Shrugging the inkling of doubt away, she began to march off towards the stone city.

She certainly wouldn't give up now.

[Dracos]

The stone walls of the outer edge of the city towered high as she approached.  No guards were posted to notice her approach, the city apparently secure in not being attacked.

The sun was high in the sky at this time and beat down rather viciously on the desert sands and all who walked them.  Most of the villagers stayed under the cloth shades at this hour of the day.

Disa began to unsteadily sway on her feet as she kept plodding along. Not used to the combination of events that had just befallen her, she just couldn't handle this anymore.

"I-I wish I had packed a water bottle with my tool kit." She drily coughed out, breath ragged as she finally shambled into the town proper.

She weakly waved to the world in general before her eyes rolled to the back of her head, body falling in a boneless heap a meter into the town.

OOC: Npc desc: old woman is 5'1''.  Looks around seventy years old but still rather fit.  Has a twisted right ankle and walks with a cane.  Has green eyes and grey hair.  Matronly atmosphere.

IC:
While the villagers weren't very friendly to outsiders...nor were they heartless.  When the obviously overheated young woman collapsed a few steps into their town, several of them quickly moved.  A few of the menfolk picking her up and carrying her into a shaded building.

The old woman in red robes who lived there blinked and grabbed at a cane at her side.  Getting up she moved to see what the commotion was about.  Eyes narrowing she quickly began barking out orders.  Disa was promptly laid down on a cool pallet, a cold wet towel placed on her head by the old woman.

Disa quietly moaned in agony. Eyes fluttering open, she looked around at her surrouninds, brown-green eyes glazed as she stared in incomprehension.

"..where am I?" Following her weak inquiry, a series of ragged coughs shook her frame.

[Dracos]

A tired voice answered her from her side, "Young lady, you are in the city of Dragnier, deep in the eternal desert."

The glazy film that had been covering Disa's eyes slowly began to recede now that the girl had something to focus on besides her own loss. The girl quietly mumbled something in her native tongue before continuing.

"I don't suppose you know the way to Tokyo, now do you?" Groaning in pain, she unsteadily turned her head to look at the person she was speaking to.

[Dracos]

The old woman frowned and clicked her tongue worriedly.  Tokyo?  She'd never heard of such a place.  Delusions were among the first signs of heat madness.  The young lady didn't look to have been out in the desert that long but...

"I've never heard of any place called Tokyo." The old woman swiftly smiled reassuringly at the young woman as she answered.
