I turned around, seeing as Kitty didn't reply me, and found a cat chewing the rope. I didn't know about her cat form, so I walked back. "Kitty, are you there?" There was no reply, so I ran back the way I came. It was apparant that I was not looking forwards, but at the sky instead, for some strange reason, when I bumped into another person walking slowly towards the center of the village....
 
I ran after her remembering that no one knew about me being a cat-thing I was such a freek.
when I caught up with her, she had just bumped into another girl.
I walked up to them, the rope still in my mouth, I spit it out.
then changed back into a human.
 
ooc: Triumphant Chaos should come soon..
ic: I looked back. "Hey, where'd you go? When I turned around there was a cat tugging on the rope instead of you. What happened?" Then I turned to Niji and introduced us. "Hello there, nice to meet you. I'm Marcella and this is Kitty. We found a dead woman lying over there. " I pointed over to the center of the village, where a figure was lying. "We've decided to explore the village a bit, and wanted someone to look after it. Will you do that for us?"
 
I looked at the girl, she seemed difernt than other girls, but hey, why should I complain I can turn into a cat!
"uhh... hi?" I stamered. "yeah, I'm Kanamaha, but you can call me kitty." I turned to Marcella and whisperd "I'll tell you later."
 
"Niji," she said softly in response, by way of introduction. "A pleasure to meet you."

Her eyes then flickered around the area, "A dead woman...?" she asked softly, eyes flickering in the direction that Marcella was pointing. She nodded slowly and drew her staff close to her body, gripping it tightly. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt, I'll look after it."

But her mind was racing. Why would there be a woman dead in the middle of the village? Was it a murder or a natural death? Was it the reason that this village was abandoned? Whatever the reason, something wasn't right. Maybe it had something to do with the beasts that she had met up with earlier, or maybe it was just coincedence... She didn't know, and really had no way of knowing. A puff of black smoke shot from the end of her staff with her insecurity, and she grimaced.
 
I jumped, I had just seen a puff of smoke come out of her staff, well I've seen weirder.
espeshily around this place. "we'll show you where she is then?" I said, pointing to the vilege.
 
Niji nodded in agreement. At least she'd have something to do, instead of just wandering aimlessly through this strange territory, even if it was monitoring a dead body. Maybe the body would give her some hints as to what was going on around here - magic traces would be the most useful, she'd know what she was dealing with - but she couldn't guarentee it. Chances were, it was just a normal body, that had died for natural reasons. She was probably getting worked up over nothing.

Her eyes fell on the onyx orb on her staff and she sighed audibly. It had started glowing - odd, since there was scarcely any sun. Frowning, she glared at the thing, but it didn't change, instead, it got a trifle brighter, so the jewel began to look purple instead of black.
 
I looked at Kitty. I don't know why she said something about telling me later, but I followed them to the center of the village, where the body lay. "You see, Niji, here it is. Maybe you can examine it and see how it died or something." Turning to Kitty, I said. "Come here. Did you want to tell me something in private?" I signaled her with my left hand, away from the body.
 
I looked at Niji and the body and nodded. Then walked over with Marcella.
"well," I said, "I'm, soda part cat or somthing, I can turn into a cat whenever I want, it's kinda weird." I looked at the ground, she probly thought I was some soda freek or somthing.
 
"Cat? Very special gift there. If I was you I'd have ran away from home when I was 5 years old, since nobody could ever find me anyways. Well back to the topic, seeing that you still have the rope in your hand, would you please not turn into a cat this time and we shall start again? Same directions, lets go!" I shouted, and started walking back the way I was suoppsed to go.
 
Niji's eyes flickered slowly over the body and she frowned. There didn't seem to be anythnig out of the ordinary, but who knew, really? She sat down on the dusty ground next to the body and held her staff erect in front of her, just over top of the woman's body. Focusing her mind and closing her eyes, Niji softly chanted two strange words, "Isnale talsendia..."

The air around the staff began to glow dully with the resonations of magic, and the onyx gained a brighter light as Niji went into a trance, focusing her energies between the body and her staff. It had been quite a while since she had done something like this, but it flowed as if she had done it the day prior - it was an unforgettable action.
 
As I walked from door to door with no luck, I felt as if something weird happened to the body. I tugged the rope and signaled Kitty to come to the center to meet. I walke over to Niji and noticed she had a staff that was doing something. Whatever it was, it must have given me a strange feeling. "Uhh, what are you doing?" I asked her....
 
A burst of light flared at the end of the staff and there was a small explosion of purple and black smoke, accompanied by a large booming noise as Niji jumped at the sound of Marcella's voice. She was on her feet moments later, her staff held behind her back and her eyes seeming to weigh Marcella, as if she hadn't seen her correctly the first time they met.

"I was ...examining... the body," she replied, frowning as she looked toward it. Her eyes flickered back to look at the girl before her, "I didn't get very far."
 
"Hmm. Is that how sorcerers these days examine bodies?" I: asked Niji suspiciously. "Quite weird to me, maybe because I was born a human. "I tried to be one, but heck it didn't go very well. I have soem powers here and then, but they're useless." And just as how I had appeared strange to her, Niji's face had a pecuilar shape to it. "Wha..?" I asked..
 
"What kind of powers?" Niji asked curiously, her eyes still weighing Marcella. She ignored the comment about the body analysis, because she hadn't given the full truth when answering - the other girl didn't need to know details.

She slipped her staff into a slim carrying case across her back so that her hands were free. "Maybe I could help you access them."
 
I felt the tug and returned to othe clearing, there I saw Marcella and Niji faceing eachother, talking, I walked over, "You tugged?" I asked Marcella.
I scenced that there was magic about the place, but I didn't really understand it.
 
"I can prevent magic being used on me. I doubt that'll happen unless I die, most people don't bother to harm me using special powers of any kind." I turned to Kitty. "Yeah I did. I thought you might wanted to come, I dunno, for some reason." I then whispered, "This person feels weird to me..."
 
"Prevent magic, hmmm...? I'm sure there is some use for an ability such as that..." she trailed off and turned back to look at the body of the woman on the ground, sparing only a small glance for Kitty as she did so.

'Interesting...' she thought to herself blandly. She slowly closed her lilac eyes and sent out a small gust of invisible magic towards Marcella. If the girl was lying, her hand would turn a faint purple from the spell; if she was telling the truth though, Niji wasn't quite sure what the girl would do to her, even though it was a simple, innocent experiment...
 
I looked at the two, they didn't seem to be getting along to well, ahh well, who cares.
I walked over to Marcella "what is it? I had found somthing interesting..." I trailed off, the 'interesting' thing was more of a cat interest than a humans, just some rope dangeling from the ceiling, I had played with it for a while, then felt the rope Marcella was holding, tug.
 
Even though I was quite far from Niji, I could sense her magic. I used my other hand to create an invisible protective shield around me, and when the magic reached it, there was a small spark. I turned around. "Hey! Did you do that to me?" I wasen't mad, but quite amazed that she actually had the thought of doing that. "What wss that for..?"
