Lucy Labu's Story

"Goodnight, Ruki."
Lucy announced. She flicked off the light, and left Ruki's bedroom, locking the door behind her. She silently walked to her bedroom, and sat on the bed with a small sigh. She looked around, at her bedroom, with purple paint, a double bed with light blue covers, white pillows, then a light colored wood dresser, with a mirror attached to it.

She stared at the ground.
Why oh, world would you put this monster amongst us?
Lucy thought. She was referring to Talon, the dragon of which she greatly despised. Speaking of Talon, there was a meeting tonight...
"Better get going,"
She mumbled, arising from the bed. Most would probably leave a bit later, but her fairy size made it a longer trip.


______________________________________________________________________________________________________





Ruki was already outside, which she always was, almost every night.

She hid in the small bush by her house, and watched her Mother leave. She has been leaving a lot lately, at this same time, in this suspicious pattern. Ruki was growing curious. She was planing to maybe follow her, but today was not the day. She had other things planned.

Ruki flew off, and crossed the fairy/elf boundary.

Ruki frowned. She wanted something a bit more exciting. She quietly wandered to witch territory. She spotted a werewolf, a witch, a vampire, and a dragon. The witch was hurt, and the others seemed to be trying to help. Ruki watched silently in the trees, sitting on a high up branch.

Lucy approached the bush. She felt bad, knowing she was extremely late. She quickly walked towards the fire, her steps sounding like a small pitter patter, as she hurried on.
"Sorry I am a little late..."
She murmured, making a small nod towards everyone who was present.

---

[Sorry I haven't had time to post! I've been so busy with this vacation!!!]

Ruki still sat in the tree, silently watching the others conversant. She felt as if she missed all the excitment...It was to bad. At least they didn't know she was here---hopefully, that is.

"In my opinion, I feel we should get him out of the castle. If in the castle, it would cause more chaos, he would have guards..."
Lucy had trailed off, answering Kyor with an intense stare.

As Nona tried to treat the girl’s wounds, the girl yelped but then stayed silent. Listening closely she heard her utter a thank you to which she whispered softly, “You’re welcome.” Suddenly the witch used her powers to let some spikes flying towards the wolf and stopping it just so that the werewolf could see it and asked why the group was in her territory. The human form werewolf asserted that they were close to the Werewolf territory.

Nona finished treating the wounds and grabbed more handkerchiefs from her bag. She tied a bunch of them to the witch’s shoulder hoping that it would do for the meantime until she got help.

”There, that should be enough, but you should make sure not to hurt it again or you could make it worse,”[b] Nona said with concern towards the witch.

She wondered what she had gotten herself into to be in other territories. Nona didn’t really note the path she took and she was in the middle of some territory with a bunch of people she just met. She hated feeling like a baby but that was how she could only think of herself right now. Hesitantly, Nona replied, “I…I don’t know how I got here. I just wanted to explore…please don’t hurt me… I don’t know how to get back home. I-I-I’m…N-Nona G-Gaius.. how about you g-g-guys?”

Lucy Labu the fairy arrived making small pitter patter sounds and nodding to everyone apologizing for her lateness. Asher took note of the advice Mikasa said to play games and make up rhymes to help Nona remember the races. He replied thank you before listening to the talk about Talon. Kyor suggested two courses of action: get him out of his castle or invade the castle. Lucy had suggested getting him out of the castle for less chaos.

[b]”I agree,” Asher spoke up looking into the fire. ”Talon would have more knowledge, arsenal, and loyal fighting men if he was in his castle. We would have to have a detailed map of his castle to plan attacks and even then Talon would have more of advantage in his own turf. We should probably lure him to a spot that is neutral so that the other races do not argue on who is the superior and in a spot that we would plan out so that it is more familiar to us than to Talon.

Viona glimpsed a wolf walk out of the foliage, and her eyes widened. Not only was she trespassing into Witch territory, but a werewolf too? She was starting to get scared that she would be caught and punished for this. She glanced at the werewolf again warily. It was slightly intimidating standing so close to one, she hadn't ever really seen one before. Then, she heard the footsteps of another person joining them, this time a young dragon girl. She watched as the girl helped the injured witch, patching up the wounds with handkerchiefs, and finally stopping the blood. "Thank god..." she thought.

Glowing colors drew her attention back to the werewolf as it transformed, turning from a wolf to a young man. Suddenly, thorns flew up to the boy's face, stopping inches from it. As the witch asked them why they were there, Viona looked up. Well, no point in hiding my face now, they probably already know what I am. Reaching up, she pulled her hood back, letting it rest behind her as her dark hair fell forward. "I was just following my father... and I got lost." She said, and looked up at the witch. "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to help you, it's just the smell of blood..." She let the sentence fade. A light smile returned to her face as the dragon introduced herself. "I'm Viona," she said softly.

Lucian dipped his head at Asher as he walked in. At the mention of how his daughter was doing, he broke out into a rare smile. "Ah, she's doing fine. She is starting to get suspicious of my late night outings. I keep telling her to drop it, but she's a hard head, that one." He nodded his head in agreement as Asher talked about his own daughter. When Lucy walked in, the meeting begun. When Kyor started the discussion, the atmosphere of the room dimmed. It was serious.

"As do I," Lucian agreed with everyone else. "Talon has an advantage in his castle, he knows it much better than all of us do. One thing we do have is knowledge of the lands. The king will never know it like we do." His glittering eyes looked around at the members before dropping to the crackling fire. "The only question is, how do we lure him out?"

The dragon walked over to her.
"Hi there cute little fairy! I'm Nona! What's your name?"
Ruki didn't respond. When she was seven, she decided she wasn't going to speak for the rest of her life. It was because of some...events.
Seeing she didn't respond, Nona scooped her up and started to walk over to the vampire.
"Is she okay?"
She had asked.
Ruki noticed that she wasn't in perfect condition, at the dragons words. She checked herself for cuts, and found a few minor scabs here and there.

“Dragons are the type to want to protect what is close to them. King Talon used this ploy when he used the Dragons as scapegoats and had the guards killed...He hurt his own kind through their pride of protection. Having been blamed as not being the best of guards their pride has gone down and they subject to King Talon. Perhaps we can threaten him and use the same ploy by taking one of his own, something or someone that is most precious to him…Does anyone know? It’s embarrassing but I have not known of anyone like this to him.”
Asher had said.
Lucy thought for a moment.
"Perhaps he has a family member,"
She suggested, tilting her head.
"I can't think of anyone else such a person could hold close."

Revolt


A smile bloomed on her face as Nona and Mikasa introduced themselves. She turned to Nona as she greeted her, and asked if she was a vampire. "Guilty, I am a vampire." She said with a light smile. "You must be a dragon?" She inquired, hoping the had guessed right. She hasn't ever really seen any of the other races before, so she wouldn't really know. Her ruby eyes turned to the werewolf, seeing as he hasn't introduced himself yet. Out of nowhere, a small fairy came out waving. Mikasa suddenly shot a lightning bolt at the young dairy, before turning it to hit the werewolf. She then conjured up a katana and transferred lightning to it, aiming it at the young man. Wow, she really had it out for him.

"I-I think we should calm down..." She said lightly. "We all seem to be just as lost as anyone, lets not get hostile." Her attention shifted to Nona, and the fairy she brought over to her. Upon being asked if the fairy was okay, Viona looked closer and saw small abrasions and bruises. "She got cut up pretty good, but I think she'll be fine." She smiled brightly at the young girl, introducing herself. "I'm Viona, nice to meet you~"

---

Lucian listened concentratedly as Asher spoke, nodding lightly in agreement. His ears then shifted to Lucy as she said there could be a loved one. "If Talon has a family member, then they have been kept a secret. I have never heard of any such person, but there has to be one. How to we find them?"

(Sorry iPod spazzed)

Lucy started to wander out loud.
"There are a thousand ways to do that...but all might just end up with a bunch of burnt corpses. Maybe we can trick him..humph. We can't take that chance..."
She started to mumble.
"Perhaps we can trick him into coming here, and when I mean here, I mean where we are standing. It would be a very dangerous plan, yet an effective one. Word about the REVOLT can 'accidentally' get out. He would hear about it...And track us down to here. Talon would think he was doing a sneak attack, but we will have the upper odds. There are nine of us, one of him. Once again, it is very dangerous, but it is a way to piss him off and get him into the forest."
Lucy announced.

Ruki flew to the ground, and took a small stick. She wrote in the dirt,
MY NAME IS RUKI
She tossed the stick and flew up so she would be with most of their head levels.

Nona smiled at the mention that Viona was a vampire, happy that she had finally guessed the girl’s race. She asked if Nona was a dragon to which Nona nodded a large “yes!” and said, “Yup! I’m a dragon. But I don’t usually use my dragon form. I’d rather save it for really bad situations.”

Viona suggested that the group calm down because they were all in the same situation: lost and confused. She then answered Nona’s inquiry about whether the fairy was okay by inspecting the fairy. “She got cut up pretty good, but I think she’ll be fine.” Turning to the fairy, Viona introduced herself and the fairy flew to the ground. She took a stick and wrote in the dirt, “MY NAME IS RUKI.” After she threw the stick and flew back to head level, Nona smiled and greeted, “Hi Ruki!”

She didn’t want to bother Mikasa and the other boy fighting so she focused on Viona and Ruki instead and asked, “So what do we do now? We’re all lost and in another territory..how will we get back home?”

---

While Lucy wouldn’t think of anyone else other than a family member, Lucian said that family members would be kept a secret. Kyor wasn’t sure who King Talon would want to keep close to him. “We need to do something that will anger him, get him to want to come out.”

Lucy seemed to wonder about ways to conquer King Talon, but she seemed to feel defeated thinking it would just end up in more deaths. She suggested tricking King Talon to come to the Revolt base by causing a ruckus about there being a revolt. Then King Talon would come here and they would lure him into the forest.

Asher tried to think for a moment. ”Hmm, the ground we are in is the center of all the races so there would be no disputes amongst them, and we do have the upper hand knowing the forest from all of these meetings. However...”
”Lucy, I know there are nine of us races in total but it seems that four of them have not shown up yet (I’m discounting Riondor for the moment). Do you think they might have been traitors or do you think they have backed down? I wonder if King Talon had anything to do with their disappearance?”

Asher was worried since the others should’ve shown up by now. They were missing the Shapeshifter, the elf, the dwarf, and the human. Not only would some people consider the victory if any unequal due to the lack of participation amongst the races, but also they needed the extra hands and skills.

Lucy made a small sigh.
"I have acknowledged their disappearance, for this meeting. Honest, I have a small fear that they have backed down, or betrayed us, but I do not think this plan can wait much longer. If we do not act soon, Talon will rise to a new power...A much, much worse position, I fear."
