ooc: sorry for the late (very late) start, but yesterday i had to go somewhere. i'll catch up.

ic: What... What happened..? I wondered, shaking my head and sitting up. "What the heck..?" Was all I could manage to say. One moment, I'd been in my room, ignoring my brother who was trying to break in, and the next, I was here, wherever that was. It was pitch black, and I was trying my hardest to stay calm. Sudently a familiar voice spoke.

"Hello, Saphira..." Nekoa said in an icey tone. She stepped out of the shadows, with her arms crossed, watching Saphira's every move. Her orange and black tail flicked back and forth, an obvious sign of anger. "I was wondering when you would wake up..."

ooc: did i just rp in first person...? *loses mind*
 
At the mention of ?human light mage? Eclipse?s mind immediately did the math, and withen moments she was shying away, realizing who and what he actually was. She would not hurt him, or leave him. Her love for Nido would prove that much. She was almost immediately depressed, realizing how easily her heart had been tricked, stolen, and torn.
 
Nekoa growled a bit, walking in circles around the author. "Your time is over." She said quietly, although she didnt want to hurt Saphira. Maybe someone else would for her. "But, as I've just realized, you cannot be kill, because we wouldnt exist. So, what should we do...?"

I stared at her, my own creation, my own character, who now hated me. "Katreece! You wouldnt.... you couldnt... Your supposed to be nice..."

Nekoa hissed, hearing her real name. "Dont ever call me that! And as you said, I do have a dark side..." Nekoa's tail bristled and her ears lay flat against her head. She was about morph.
 
"I'm sorry, but now that Robert's gone, there is nothing to stop me, to stop us..." He said, remaining in his kneeling position. He only wanted her happiness, couldn't she see that?

I was waiting safely back where I was talking with HK earlier. I had decided that it would be better for me to stay here until he had finished. Not that I was likely to get shot, but HK couldn't control the shrapnel from his own blasts. So, there i was, relaxing, and listening to the screams and explosions in the distance, enjoying the fresh air on Dxun.
 
Eclipse was silent for a moment, before moving over to him, and saying ?you?re already tested my trust once. There is nothing to say you will not do it again? She had been hurt before, but her heart went out for the dragon, at the least. The dragon form was the only reason he was not dead.
 
"Please, Eclipse..." Said Rauru, looking up at her, though not rising. "I love you, and you know I'll do anything for your happiness." He said, hoping against hope that she would find it in her heart to believe him.


It wasn't long before HK-47 returned, toting several more weapons on him. "Jubilant statement: Maser, there has been a one-hundred percent casualty rate among the Mandalorians, and while there were no hyperspace capable vessels, a swoop did manage to survive the carnage."
 
Eclipse paused for a moment, then said ?Rise. I forgive you. I may be in pain even now, but pain has never stopped me. Apparently, nor did it stop you.? She moved to a far wall, laying aginst it, not really intending to move away from him, just slightly bewildered by this turn of events.

By now, I had awoken, and after a helpful massage from Kamek, I was on stage, several spotlights pointed towards me. I swallowed hard, my throat was dry, and I felt like I was stopping up. I had never performed in front of a crowd, and this one wasn?t even human. My thoughts wandered to Robert, and I mentally confirmed that yes, this was the only way I would ever be able to get back to him. The thought of being with him again strengthened me, and I brought the microphone to my lips and began to sing.

"I know that your hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

"Save your tears cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain, when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time
And distance holding you, suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradel you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stand with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt when I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm stroing enough to know it's not too late

Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though we can't see
I know they are reaching you, suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradel you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever

Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home, and into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradel you
Make all of the lonely years to lonely days
They'll hold you forever.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh a thousand words...."
 
Rauru rose to his feet, but moved next to Eclipse, laying down next to her. All he wanted right then was for her to be happy, and he wanted to make up for his "dissapearance."


I was on the shuttle, the autopilot taking myself and HK to the planet of Onderon, my thoughts Inevitably wandering towards Rachel. I closed my eyes, thinking about how much I missed her, even though we had only been apart a short time... Then, I could have sworn I heard her voice, singing. I listened to the song, all my worries and doubts swayed for the time... When the song stopped, I slowly clenched my fist, remembering what Eclipse had said. If they were torturing her, I didn't care if they weren't my characters, I was going to make them pay...
 
Eclipse shifted and leaned aginst him, making a slight purring sound. Her mood had improved quite a bit, and she found nothing wrong at the moment. Her heartbeat had slowed down, as she shifted into a calm, relaxed, sluggish mode, not really intending to move any time soon.

I could hear the cheering from the audience (I noticed that the loudest was from Kamek, Bowser, and his children) as I moved off the stage, nearly collapsing. Kamek appeared next to me, and said "That was a most excellent show of talent. You could be a performer here! But I did indeed make a promice to you, and the Magikoopa High Counsel keeps thier promices. He waved his wand, as the energy of over 40 Magikoopas gathered, and withen moments, I noticed that I was quite a bit smaller. My skin, correction, scales, were near white, and I was wearing a black robe with various red areas that looked like blood. With a bit of focus, I realised I could change the robe's coloration.
 
I descended the ladder to the forest floor. Likely, the elves alreadfy knew I was here. It was definate if I was where I thought I was. Indeed, before I'd gone as much as ten feet, a ring of arrows surrounded my neck. A well-tanned female with blazing red hair appeared in front of me. I was in the Llanowar Empire, the mightiest elvish kingdom I knew of. I raised my hands in surrender. The female nodded and said "Take him to King Agrathain."

Chaos was in a good enought mood right now, He'd found a nice place from which to create his own miniature world. A rift atop K-2 led to a massive palace with grounds to match. The palace had been created in a sevewrely Gothic style with soaring, sharp architecture. The place could hold ten thousand, with room for atill more prisoners deep underground.
 
I was forced forced back into reality by HK's words. "Worried repitition: Master, are you all right? You seem to be conscious, yet you do not respond to stimuli." I shook my head, snapping out of it, and thinking for a moment. "Yes, HK, I'm all right. I hope that torture is among your protocols, I think I might have a task for you when I get back home..."
 
The next thing i was truly aware of was flying on a broomstick with Kamek over to Yoshi island. Withen minutes, we were over the island, looking down at a large herd of Yoshis. Then I saw the human among them. I dove down, keeping out of sight, wondeirng how to get noticed without getting eaten.
 
Soon we were in Onderon's official atmosphere, though the moon and planet were almost sister planets, actually sharing some of the same atmosphere. Both were renowned for their viscious predators, among them the Malraas and the Boma beasts.It didn't take long to land outside of the official area. If I set up one of the detonaters HK had taken in the ship, and set it off after a distrss signal, feigning a crash would be easy...
 
"Someone is here?" asked Yoshi in acurious voice. Yoshi looekd up and saw nothing. He shrugged. I was beginning to get unnerved. I hoped it wasn't one of Bowser's troops or soemthing more sinister... I sighed adn urged Yoshi to go on. Hoshi resumed walked and soon we were walking awa from the Yoshi village and onto a jungle path. I looked at the various wild flowers and fruit aptches in awe. It was so pretty here... Hoshi and Cory stopped to eat a few fruits on the way.
 
When I reached the palace, the one stone building in the city, I knelt in the throne room before the King. Not like I had much of a choice, they still hadn't seen fit to remove the arrow necklace. With a wave of his hand, the King said "Speak." I told my sordid tale as rapidly as I could without omitting anything. I didn't have the resources to try any machinations here, I needed help and I needed it fast. When I was done, Agrathain nodded and said "I could have told you this much might have happened. Upon your last visit, I sensed the darkness within Chaos. I might have a solution, if you are willing to aid Llanowar when needed." It wasn't the best deal, but one I had to take. I nodded my agreement and said "One last thing, could you try and track down the other ex-Authors from my dimension? I may need their assistance as well as yours." He nodded and said "We should have them, and your new weapon found within a fortnight. Please, make use of the city until then." He left it unsaid that I would still be under guard, although a less-obvious one.
 
I followed, and finally when I wsa close I came up with my paws up, and my wand away, a sign of surrender "Kristen, it's me, Rachel! Don't let the Yoshis eat me!" I was kinda desperate, as I remembered how many times that Kamek had been foiled by Yoshis... and I didn't want to suffer a pernament fate..
 
I took up residence in a small tree dwelling near the barracks. I lacked mental strength, now I had to rely on my body, train myself in the use of weaponry. I put what few posessions I had in the lofty house and went down to the praactice fields to begin training.

Later that afternoon, while I was taking a break (the drill sergent had granted my request for full-fledged basic training), a messenger arrived. With a brief distasteful look at my unclothed chest (my shirt having long ago been discarded in the humid forest climate), she reported that fifty elvish scouts had been dispatched to find Rachel and the others.
 
"Rachel?" I asked as I turned around. "You;re a magic Koopa!" i exclaimed in slight horror. I knew it was probably her. Same voice and everything I didn't liek magic koopas much after hearing the tale of what Kamek had doen in the past. Yoshi narrow his eyes and turned his head aroudn to face Rachel. Cory adn Hoshi finalyl noticed them. Cory and Hoshi backed away slightly.
 
OOC: well, I kinda helped you already over MSN, so

IC: "yes. Don't be afraid. Remember, you can't judge a book by it's cover. Kamek's here too, but he's staying out of it for now. Bowser's spies have seen you, and Bowser sent me here, in exchange for letting me bring Kamek along to help me get my power back." I said to Kristen, wary of the Yoshis
