Angela Mesi's Story

Angela Mesi

"Estopolis..." Angela Mesi huffed. She had just arrived at the top of the steep hill, and took a gander of what looked to be one of the last peaceful lands of the entire world. But when the gentle wind blew on her exposed skin, and the wet soil squishing beneath her Sabatons, she felt at home again. But that was where she had traveled from, and where she wouldn't return until a great battle is won... She took one last deep breath and huffed it before continuing to the city known as "Estopolis.."

Angela, not far off from the busy streets of the town, sat on a small curb to drink water out of a canteen. Just a small break, she though to herself... "Miss...?" Came the voice of a small elfin girl, holding a stuffed dragon-like doll. Angela looked a little surprised to see someone aproach her at first, but her expression softened and held a gentle smile once she realized it was only a child. "Yes, young one?" Angela replied, turning the cap back onto her canteen, and resting it to her side. She gave her full attention to the child now. "You're sitting on my polly.." The girl replied slowly and quietly, pointing down to the curb where Angela was sitting. "Oh.. I apologize.." Angela blinked and quickly sat up, allowing the little girl to retrieve her toy. The little girl rushed to get her stuffed doll back, thanked Angela and ran back off to play with her friends. Angela smiled again to the girl, put her canteen back onto her belt and continued her walk to the market district.

In the present, Angela found herself in the market district, looking for a new canteen to hold her water. She supposed she had plenty of time until the other Genesis arrived, so she went to go look around. Angela could now be found at a small outdoor store, looking at the merchandise set out by the man. But Angela shook her head and stood back up saying "Sir, these canteens would easily break with a single strike. I need something to withstand a full battle." But the seller just closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. "Good day then.." Angela sighed, turning back into the crowed of people. She took the last gulp of water left in her canteen, and cursed under her breath.

Purpose filled strides propelled a man through the crowds in the market place.And if his obvious determination to reach his destination did not set him out from the crowd. His general appearance and Attire did.Such fine pieces of armor fixed in the vital area. Rich dark cloth covering the rest of him.Such an Extravagant looking man seemed out of place in the market area but soon it became clear.

Early that day a trader had set up shop with some art that had been collected on travels. And now Blake stood browsing the wares. A look of Delight came upon the traders face. " This is not Art... rather cheap imitations Unless you have anything better i say good day" the voice was deep. Edge with a harsher meaning but was planned to get a deal of some sort. It worked extremely well ' I can offer you more sir'. came the reply from the frail old art trader " Good.... you may stop by my place later so we can discuss a deal" Blake said with a wicked grin crossing his face.

Turning his gaze to the lightning in the sky he arched a brow slightly. Had that time arrived?. The others were here but such obvious use of powers for something so simply as to attract attention of the others seemed rather excess in his opinion. Keeping his gaze turned he pondered for a moment. He had no need to head over there yet. Still plenty of time left during the day. And more importantly he had things to do. So he turned away and continued to browse the art. The market place could hold some fine trinkets. The midday sun did make him seem lethargic he still wished to browse.

Angela had found herself in another store, looking through the mans sword collection. "Miss, maybe I can offer you with one of my finest gowns..?" The owner asked, giving a friendly smile while holding up a frilly dress. To Angela, the dress seemed too long and too brightly colored, and wasn't what she was looking for in the first place. "No, but thank you for letting me browse sir. Have a nice day.." She replied politely and went back into the crowded streets. Angela raised her hand above her forehead to shade the sun away from her eyes. She sighed and finally decided on that when she has more time, she'd come back to the market another day. Her canteen was in alright shape anyway. But when Angela was beginning to make her way through the crowd to the center of Estopolis, she caught glimpse of a rather strange looking man...

The man she had her eyes on looked hardly anything of the people surrounding him. And with comparison, looked almost devilish. With that dark armor covering nearly every spot of his body, and just how he was acting was giving Angela the chills. She couldn't see many other details of him from how far away she was standing, but now she was certain that he had to be a Genesis... But the only way she could know is if it was proven somehow. And that's what she was going to ask for. Proof.

Angela began making her way through the crowd, not taking her eyes off the suspicious man. He didn't seem to be going anywhere in a hurry, which would make this meeting more convenient. But when she finally got close enough to speak, she froze. She couldn't bring herself to say hi. Something inside her was telling her no, don't do it. It's a terrible idea. At least the man was facing the other way, so he wouldn't see how frightened she was. But when Angela finally gathered up enough courage to hid her fear behind a mask of calmness, she tapped the man on his back. She backed an inch and held her hands together. "Excuse me, sir.."

Letting his eyes scan for any exotic goods within the market place, he only seemed to find the usual kind of things. Trinkets that seemed to come from some far off tribes. For it was along those lines that recently had held his interest. Though he was more hoping for something with a darker history then these toys in his eyes.

Feeling something tap his back. He arched a brow. " By what excuse are my thoughts interrupted" he said a slight hint of annoyance to his voice as he turned to face this maiden. It seemed like such an innocent creature stood before him. Which stood in stark comparison to himself. " Of course if you seek Business with me... i shall listen and prioritize its importance with everything else i must accomplish today" it was matter of fact. but was not too harsh. It would hopefully encourage the maiden to be direct, and ward of anything that was not of importance.

Gesturing an arm to his side, he turned off slightly. " Unless your request insists on a location or us being still.... lets discuss this as we walk."

"By what excuse are my thoughts interrupted.." Angela nearly trembled at his deep and dark voice. She had never heard anything like it. But even when he turned to face her, she still wouldn't break. But now he was facing towards her, she could see his dark features. His silver hair and piercing eyes only made her anxiety grow stronger. But she needed to encourage her self, for If he was in fact one of the Genesis, he wouldn't dare hurt her... At least, not until the lands of Zevir were free of evil. "Of course, if you seek business with me... I shall listen and prioritize its importance with everything else I must accomplish today..." Angela blinked thrice while listening to his words, then wore a look of confusion and suspicion. Business? What kind of Business was he trying to offer? This made him seem even more mysterious. She was still cautious of him, but she would play along. Yet, if this Business had anything to do with harming innocents or anything in particular, she'd have to put a stop to it. But for now, she had no idea what he meant. She nodded, and resumed her calm expression. Angela was beginning to feel calmer as well.

"Unless your request insists on a location of us being still, Let's discuss this as we walk." "Agreed." Angela stated at once, too quickly said to sound respectful. She didn't mean for it to sound disrespecting, in fact that was the last thing she needed. But by now the time to fix that had passed. As the walk began, Angela kept a steady pace and kept her arms to her side. The small silence began to grow into a discomforting environment, so Angela began to pick her next words quickly. "My name is Angela Mesi" Introducing herself seemed appropriate. Angela took the ribbon out of her hair, and brushed down her hair quickly." And I am the Genesis of Water." Angela looked up to him, expecting a change in expression or mode. After all, that wasn't something anyone could say. "I'm not exactly looking for any business or serveries, sir. But... if you could help me find the others, I would be ever so grateful."

Hearing the agreement, he began to walk and keep pace with the maiden. He would let the possible disrespect slide, such an action could become useful later if he needed it. The silence that grew had no effect upon him, Rather it aided him as he was thinking possibly what his woman could want. Hearing the introduction he simply nodded but only when he caught the second part did he turn his gaze an arch a brow. " That no small proclamation Angela" he said slowing his pace slightly

The request to find the others soon followed what he now reflected on a splendid introduction. The hair was a nice touch, and possibly swayed his mind to be slightly more helpful then he originally planned. Raising one of his gloved hands he gestured over in the direction to where the lightning was earlier. " Some of the others you seek will be in that area... I can accompany you in the search for i too wish to know more about things. More so upon the individuals whom you seek...... of course i can assume they wish the same about you" he said. Up to this point he had Kept his Genesis status rather well hidden. Of course he guessed that Angela suspected but he made no attempt to dispel or reinforce this assumption

"Some of the others you seek will be in that area... I can accompany you in the search, for I too wish to know more about things.... More so upon the individuals whom you seek...... Of course I can assume they wish the same about you." Angela swallowed air, and began tying the ribbon back. it was something to buy time while she thought of his answer. Did he just say he wanted to come along?She was pleased by his helpful advice, but she had hardly heard or knew anything of him. And with how he knew the Genesis, and wanted to find them as well... he could still be a Genesis, but she still had no idea. But that he wanted to leave about them could explain why he was trying to find them too. But... he had such a dark and evil appearance... what if he was sent here by Kiriyu to kill the Genesis? Oh by the Gods... Angela had really gotten herself into a tight spot now. She had to stop him. Angela opened her mouth to say something, but the fear stopped her before she could even make out a simple word. No, she couldn't tell him. She was a coward, and she shunned herself for being so. She'd just have to allow him come with her...

But at least he knew where the others might be, and Angela was grateful for that. Angela let a gentle smile creep up on her lips as she nodded to him. "Thank you for sharing that with me, now... let's find them." said Angela and began marching towards the direction he pointed. Now, she could only hope that he was telling the truth, and that he wasn't planning to kill her and the others. But before Angela could get very far, she remembered something very important to ask him. She stopped suddenly and turned back to him. "Ah, but... Before we go, could I ask something? What's... What's you name?"

Allowing her to tie her hair back in place. She seemed engrossed in her thoughts now. Patience was no the most common virtue with Blake but he waited calmly, even when she smiled he seemed not to react but just wait patiently. Of course general thanks and the needles speech to get them on their way again. He had made his way a head of her due to her sudden stop and it took him a step or so to realize she had done so.

Turning round swiftly he arched a brow slightly. Another question it seemed, and a trivial one at that of his name. Well maybe it was not so trivial but that was really a matter of opinion. Deeming the early introduction cause enough. Blake placed an Arm in front of his waist and the other out slightly. Giving quite an impressive bow " Blake Jeger ma'am" he said straightening himself up " I was hoping to save the introduction till later.... but so far you have proved to be more then some common person both in manner and construction... you earned at least my name" he said turning to walk again gesturing swiftly with a hand for her to follow " I fear the Genesis you seek may not stay stationary for too long. So please be swift."

" Blake Jeger, ma'am" Blake replied and bowed to her. Angela's smile softly returned. Was this an act to try to impress, or was he just simply trying to return respect? Although his name seemed to fit his appearance and actions quite nicely and it was said in a way that was still frightening, she could tell it was the truth. As he continued to explain how she had earned the right to know his name, she nodded once to show that she understood and agreed. Angela watched his gesture and listened to his words. " I fear the Genesis you seek may not stay stationary for too long. So please be swift." He stated. 'He said please' she noticed. "You're right. Let's continue" Angela replied, quickly following behind Blake. Angela was still unsure of him coming, but he was right. There was little time for chat, and the others could disappear before they even have a chance to see them.

As Angela and Blake grew closer to the area where the lightning bolt had been witnessed, she grew more and more confused. Where were the other Genesis? Had they already left..? Angela began to think more about this. This was bad for them to loose track of the others, but slightly good. If Blake was trying to kill them all, he wouldn't be able to if they're lost. This was almost perfect. Now she could almost propose to go separate ways now, and she could find the others on her own. Angela nearly smiled at the thought, before she spotted a strange group of people. One of which was a woman, two men and.. she couldn't tell what the last one was. Could they be it...? If so, Angela had to pretend not to see them. But she had already been staring at them for so long, Blake might have noticed... She wasn't sure if she should reviel them, or pretend as if they weren't there. She was nervous, and remained silent.

Sky nodded, "Well as you know, I am the Wind Genesis, and by the looks of it more were drawn by the lightning..." he said before jumping up and landing by the two whom ran up causing a gust of wind around him again, "Evening." he said eying the two, one seemed like a Vampire (If only Sky knew...) which was unsettling to him a bit, but the other seemed to be a knight to him, she seemed though, nervous, of course by what he could tell by her breathing and smiled a little, "You okay...?" he asked as he looked at the woman straight in the eyes, "I'm of no harm." he said with to him was a stupid smile.

Angela was quite surprised when the man ran towards her and Blake at inhumanly speeds, but she was soon relieved to know that it must have been the Wind Genesis. He started with a greeting, then asked of her current state. Angela looked up to Blake for a moment, still cautious of him. Blake seemed 'cheerful' that he and Angela had found the other Genesis, but she'd have to worry about what he had in store for them later. For now, she wold need to meet this friendly new stranger.

For the first time in so long, Angela let a chuckle escape. "I'm fine. I was just wondering if maybe you and your friends could be the Genesis, and it seems I was correct.." Angela smiled to the fast one and held out her hand respectively, for him to shake. "My name is Angela Mesi, the Genesis of Water. and you..?"

Circe Hammond

As Sky commented on the newcomers and raced over to greet them, Circe smiled. These two had to be some kinds of Genesis... she could tell just by the way that they looked.

"I guess we should go greet them as well," she said while grabbing both Isaac and Jak's hands and running over. Due to Circe's incredible speed and the other three people's locations, this took under two seconds.

She smiled at the newcomers and curtsied, letting go of the other two mens' hands, and waited for Sky to tell the newcomers their names.

Sky smiled, "Well, I guess I'll have to introduce, I'm Sky Minato, the one whom just ran up here like The Flash is Circe, Sir rocket-hands back there is Jak, and Mystery man is Isaac" he said smiling, "they are the few we've met so far" he said as he bowed a bit, "its a pleasure to meet you Angela" he said smiling as he caused a minor breeze to flow by.

Jak gave another friendly smile to the man in the mask who introduced himself as Isaac " Nice to meet you Isaac, I assume you are one of the genesis. I can feel the same energy within you that rages through my body although we are of different but similar types. Drawing some power from the sun, fire gives birth to light ya know." Jak finished addressing Isaac, the likeness in the elements made him smile gently. Someone who drew upon a common ground to fight, Jak was hoping to find a powerful ally within Isaac. Circe's gentle voice rung out when she announced herself being the lightning genesis. Something that Jak quickly deduced from her display of power, nothing about this group was too surprising until Sky pointed out a pair not to far from them.

Jak looked over to where Sky now stood, a female knight and a white haired male stood together watching Sky as he introduced himself. "I guess I'll go check it out since it peaked his interest," he said but before he could move Circe took his hand sprinting over too the three. Jak gave Sky a wave and darting his eyes from the knight and the white haired guy trying to pick up if they were genesis or not. Once he figured out that they were Jak smiled " Great the gang is almost all together, Jak Fira the fire genesis." He said giving a formal bow before the knight and the other

"Sky Minato.. What a perfectly fitting name." Angela responded, looking over to the others with a grin, presuming they were Genesis's as well. And each one seemed to be just as polite as Sky, or she could hope. She looked over each one of them as he told her their names. Circe, Jak, and Isaac. The one who wouldn't show his face. Angela guessed Circe was the Genesis of Lightning, but she wasn't sure what the other two were. But Angela let out a sigh of relief and closed her eyes for a moment, knowing now that they were all sure to be people of Genesis, of god like powers and like her. She blinked and looked back to Sky cheerfully. "And it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Sky! But it was only destiny. The Genesis were bound to find each other eventually..." Angela chuckled again, and looked back over the others one last time before the question began to form. There were only five..? Angela was so sure there had to be more... "So far? How many are left to find...?" She questioned Sky, hoping he had been keeping track.

Derek sees two more people join the odd group as he eats. well that's an interesting bunch. . . .wait, hold on. he blinks and takes a good look at them. Each had something unique about them. . . . Something he couldn't place. Then he saw some of them use their powers. you have got to be kidding me. . . . Six. . . . I find six right of the bat. Derek chuckles himself and gets up. He slings his pack onto his shoulder and strides over to them. Again, he's the biggest and tallest person there. Everyone seemed to give off a different feel to him. One was dark and seemed vampiric in nature. Another seemed to carry a breeze wherever he went, the girl next to him reminded him of a thunderstorm. He couldn't place the one in the bird mask but chose to ask later. Next was a boy that had the feel and heat of the forge about him. Lastly was a girl in armor who smelled like spring rain. Derek grinned with delight.I found them, grandpa I actually found them. Derek drew himself to his full height, which was close to seven feet, and stressed the group. "Excuse me ladies and gentlemen. . ." He crossed his arms and showed of his stone skin armor. ". . .would any of you happen to be a Genesis?" He was obviously being funny but still carried a solid and forms or about him, giving a playful and warm smile at the six individuals before him.

"Nice to meet you Isaac, I assume you are one of the genesis. I can feel the same energy within you that rages through my body although we are of different but similar types. Drawing some power from the sun, fire gives birth to light ya know." Said the one called Jak. Isaac just nodded in response, all that needed to be said about his powers were already said, so he added no more.
"I guess we should go greet them as well" Circe grabbed his hands and carried them with great speed before he could react. Unlike Isaac, she liked to rush things. Sky was already talking to the newcomers, at least with the woman, since the other one said nothing. Isaac took one moment to look at them.
"Well, I guess I'll have to introduce, I'm Sky Minato, the one whom just ran up here like The Flash is Circe, Sir rocket-hands back there is Jak, and Mystery man is Isaac" Sky introduced all of them, with a respective nickname to each one. Mystery man? Isaac though, and almost chuckled, almost. He hoped that he wouldn't refer to him like that in the future, at least without Dr. in front.
He eyed the newcomers again. The woman was talking openly with Sky, while the man just stayed put and said nothing. It wasn't hard for Isaac to guess which genesis he was, due to his appearance.

Circe Hammond

"I guess just the six of us have found each other..." Circe said. "There must be others."

Circe paid attention to Sky introducing the group and noticed a large man looking at them. The new man walked over to the group of six and asked if any of them happened to be a Genesis.

Circe laughed and said: "Well this is turning out splendidly!" she smiled. "I am Circe, the lightning Genesis and this is Jack of fire, Sky of wind, Isaac of light, I presume, Angela of water, and..." Circe realized that she did not know the tall dark man's name. She turned to him expectantly.

Blake had kept himself quiet as everyone else round him spoke. He was using this to take in all the information he could as it seemed introductions were flying around everywhere. Circe of Lightning, Jak of Fire, Sky of Wind, Angela of Water. He could only assume that the rather large male who had approached them belonged to the earth, that or his eyes deceived him. Of course then one Blake only had to glance at and he knew. Issac of Light. Opposite Genesis had this effect upon each other that varied between the Genesis but with two such primal Elements of Dark and Light. The effect was quite prominent.

Glancing across and catching Circe's expecting gaze he spoke swiftly and shortly. " Blake" he said not adding what Genesis he was as he assumed by now that much should of been worked out. Granted with some of the others it was more difficult to spot, but with one such as himself it should be easy. Though he soon turned his gaze upon the Fire Genesis, his suggestion of heading back to a forge to speak. " Now while i wont deny that at some point preparations will be needed... i find your suggestion of spies within the same sentence of also mentioning someone close enough to name as your dad Puzzling"

Isaac kept looking at Blake. The effect of both Light and Dark genesis being so close was fascinating, as if life and death were face to face. He wondered how light and dark magic would interact with each other, the possibilities were almost endless. He would have to ask him later for a demonstration of his powers for a small experimentation.

He stared at space while he managed his train of thoughts, while the others kept talking. He saw, on the corner of his eye, a child fell and starting crying due to a cut on the knee, his friends getting closer to see the cut. Isaac looked at the child, and concentrated a little. The sides of the cut became a bright white and started to heal itself. The children got away scared, while the child looked at it open mouthed. When the cut finished healing, the child looked at it relieved, and then continue to play with his other friends. Isaac smiled under his mask. His powers allowed him to extend the field of his job further than his normal patients.

"Hey I know standing here and making a huge commotion about finding each other is cool and all but I know a place we could talk that isn't so open to spy's. My dad has a blacksmithing place not to far from here." Said Jak, and Isaac looked at him. "While I agree that you little demonstration of powers did give away our position, I find it quite improbable the chance of being spied right now." Isaac responded. Although he could be wrong, he found it highly improbable that someone already knew their location previous to their encounter. "Yet, it would be a good idea to talk in a place that allows more privacy."
