Warzone of the soul (Ami thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami watches intently, a mixture of horror and regret twisting through her. "This...What could make a child behave this way?" she wonders. "Is this the culmination of getting strong with our element? Everything good is twisted and hidden away?"

Shoving a distinctly ill feeling away, Ami frowns. "For her own good, she needs to be defeated. But, at least this explains how she came back..." Ami muses. "She isn't based in body or mind at all. She seems to be sentient ice energy." he voice falters as she turns that over in her mind.

"...Is that even possible?" she muses. Settling down to watch a bit more, Ami sets her jaw. "Not for the faint of heart..."

From  there, white, then....it goes misty again, as that hellish vision fades into nothingness. The cruelly cold laughter continues to ring in your ears, as this version of reality again comes to the forefront.

[Bean Bandit]

Sighing deeply, Ami begins skimming the thread again, looking for anything Else that seems to be hidden from view, as she heads toward the cracking of the crystal prison.

If only I knew what to look for...

[Anastasia]

On and on you go - a feast of frozen worlds and shattered dreams, as Celcia falls farther and farther into her role. Finally, the Moon - a great battle, where the might of Queen Serenity and her Crystal finally stop the spirit, despite her taking the bodies of several Lunar citizens to continue the battle. Finally, the Crystal Prison is brought, darkness taking over the view for a very long time.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami bites her lip. "Well, I don't exactly have a Silver crystal." she reasons. "And if the only people who have contained her permanently for any length of time are the Queen and I..." Ami blinks as she digests that. Well, that may not be true. Don't go on an ego trip, Ami. You only managed it for a few days, at any rate.

"Hmmm..." With that, Ami continues watching, pausing only for the parts that seem significant.

[Anastasia]

There are things here and there past this point, but it's mainly rehash - the battle only a day after the Prison broke, the long misty time as Miss Nakahime was slowly corrupted, the second battle, then....

The memories draw to a close, as you reach the current time.

[Bean Bandit]

"Nothing new, really." Ami sighs. "Aside from the revelation that she's fairly twisted. I dread to think that the only solution to this mess is to hurt each other until one of us dies....What to do?" she wonders, thinking hard.

[Anastasia]

As you stand in the icy depths of this realm, a gale of wind chills your body and refreshes you. No answers come on it, yet it is still a welcome harbringer of relief.

[Bean Bandit]

For lack of anything better to do until Celcia finds her, Ami pauses in perusing her foe's life story, and turns her attention to her bracelet. Tentatively, she reaches out to it with her elemental connection, trying to determine if any dramatic changes have been wrought.

[Anastasia]

It doesn't feel any stranger than usual to you, but it's admittedly somewhat muddied right now. Can't say that's really surprising, all things considered.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami sighs, yet another avenue frustrated. "You'd think she would have found me by now." she muses. "Unless....No, she didn't get out. That explosion blew us both back." Ami reassures herself.

"So, I can try and find her, or use my time to go over her thread again, and see if I can glean any useful tactics."

Hesitantly, Ami reaches out with her mind, trying to see if she can 'touch' Celcia the same way she found her Talisman.

[Anastasia]

You feel out, the sensations of your soul strong and strange to you.  Seemingly far away, you feel...her. Or you think so, this is still odd to you, but you think it's her. She is indeed a goodly ways away...

[Bean Bandit]

Ami sighs again. "Well...I'd best start walking. She doesn't appear to be in any hurry, and going over her life story again...is not a pleasant prospect."

Ami stands, and turns down the hill to go back to the 'ground', begins descending. "Hmm...and I seem to have begun talking to myself. I hope this isn't a permanent thing..."

[Anastasia]

As you begin to travel, light breaks forth on the horizon, a spot of light on high. Are you...it's...reality shows ever so slightly, as you feel the pull upward as...

[Bean Bandit]

Ami doesn't even hesitate, and Throws herself upward, diving for the opening. I WANT OUT!
