Circe Hammond's Story

Sky nodded, "thank you Circe, But I'll control myself." he said before he looked at his 'Earthy' foe in shock, "Fine if you'll use your ability." he said as the wind started to gather around him, "so will I" he said as he looked at the enemy. He knew it was going to be one hell of a fight, Earth Vs. Wind, a battle that has gone on for Eons and is now emphasized here, in the Streets of Estopolis and now, it was to begin. Sky attacked first with a hail of Aero and Wind Slash attacks. It was something he could do to keep him from his past, "Well now, this'll be fun!" he said knowing that the gale of wind will protect him a bit.

Following the small path the lead to the door of the mansion, he his butler that had come out to greet the master of the house. Holding his hand up to halt the greeting that was about to be given he spoke. " I want the guests to be facilitated with the needs they require.... set the rooms up in the most basic of manners" he said as he would let them pick their bedroom before allowing any variations. " Also Prepare the hall for the meal later" he said as the butler bowed and slipped back into the house Leaving the door open. Smiling as he heard the Comment from the Fire Genesis he turned to face everyone. While some had peeled off to do their own things everyone could still be seen " Until the Evening you are free to do as you see fit.... upon the grounds you do not destroy anything or enter my room or personal study" They were the two rooms he could not afford anyone else to be in, but luckily enough they were on the same floor locked. Standing by the doorway he watched with interest the interaction between the sky and earth Genesis " I have to agree slightly With Lightning on this.... But train as you please" he said folding his arms slightly to observe

Isaac stepped to the side, and watched Sky and Derek fight. This would be a good time to see how opposite genesis react, but in combat rather than civil interaction. Their way of fighting was the exact opposite from each other. Derek seemed to concentrate in brute force and used physical barriers as defense, while Sky kept dodging attacks and giving quick attacks of his own. He wondered if this was true for every pair of opposites. Yet, aside from the opposite ways of fighting styles, he saw no other effects. It was a normal fight, with magic of course.
Isaac felt a little bit disappointed, he expected something more....interesting, if he was being completely honest. He assumed that the effects of fire and water genesis would be the same. He only hoped that light and dark would have a more interesting result. Yet, the fight had only started, which meant that something interesting could still happen.
He watched as they threw and dodged attacks. Although fighting was one way to test the reaction of the powers, he preferred the scientific method. He would ask them if he could perform some experiments with their powers. He looked at Blake and wondered how their powers would react to each others.

Sky laughed, "Projectiles. Are. My. Thing." he said as he adjusted air currents knocking the projectiles away, "My turn big boy" he said before whipping wind around him and leaping high into the air. Soon he used more air to charge down at near terminal velocity speed down at Derek at a 45 degree angle at the man's chest. To prevent the man placing a wall and him breaking his legs though, Sky put a point of wind at the sole of his foot to act as a drill, he was going all in.

Sky noticed Derek go underground and well, he couldn't stop, but he didn't land with the velocity he had, he drilled a good bit, he aimed though for Derek if he could before jumping back out and into the sky and onto a light-post, "This'll take a while" he said as he watched, he knew that his advantage was the sky and Derek's advantage was the ground. That made things difficult for the two to attempt to hit each other since this, although Sky laughed a bit, "Hey Derek! How about we just have a regular fist-to-fist brawl instead of using our abilities" he said with a serious tone and expression.

Circe Hammond

Circe watched the two men fight in shock. It was rather amazing... seeing a pair of opposite powers battle it out against one another. She saw the butler come out of the house and get his directions from Blake. She watched the the men of earth and wind spar for several more minutes then said:

"Well I'm going inside to explore and find a bedroom for myself. Anyone else coming?" She started up the path to the house and admired the large trees that lined the walk, not waiting for people to follow, and opened the large oak door.

It opened into a well lit entrance hall with a stairway in the center and several doors leading off of the sides. At this point she turned around to see if anyone had followed her.

Arrow watched the two children fight from the trees, having been perched on a branch before they even began fighting. It seemed she wasn't the only one with powers, not that she had even thought she was. She had overheard the one girl suggesting they at least move into the woods, since humans could clearly see them out there, but the idiots were obviously too stuck in their little fight to be any kind of smart. It was almost amusing to her, watching them hop around like little girls fighting over a barbie doll, well until one of them jumped into the air and began flying, and the other sank into the ground.

After fixing her bow on her back and readjusting her swords, she dropped from the tree, landing on the soft ground with a quiet thud. Her purple hair was concealed in the hood that she wore, most of the rest of her hidden in a rather large black hoodie. She easily made her way out of the woods, only stopping when she reached the edge of the shadows. The group could have clearly seen her by now, there was no doubt that someone must have spotted her, though she still preferred to stay nearer the trees. It was always easier to escape if she could duck into the woods, but she also didn't know if all of the others were powered. If so that could cause a problem with getting away, for now she just had to trust that they wouldn't try and attack another of their kind. Not that they knew she had powers, they just knew she carried around two curved swords and a bow and arrow, no big deal.

The fight still continued, yet it was now a normal close quarter fight. If the battle before had any little impressive thing to show, now it had nothing to demonstrate. It could be, Isaac thought, that this was due to the fact that they weren't using their full powers, but rather fighting for fun.

"Well I'm going inside to explore and find a bedroom for myself. Anyone else coming?" Asked Circe. Isaac considered this for a moment. He would like to see if the battle evolved any further, but by seen it, he knew that nothing amazing would occur. He also would like to inspect the place. So he put his hands on his back, and followed Circe. Unlike Isaac, who liked to take things calmly, Circe walked rather fast.

When he got close to the door, he saw something in his peripheral vision. He saw a young girl jump from a tree and land on the ground. She wasn't too far away, and even from this distance, Isaac could feel her power. She was one of the genesis. He looked directly at her and said "It seems we have a little visitor." to no one in particular.

Keeping his gaze fixed upon the spar. He tried to absorb as much information about potential fighting ability of these two Genesis that he could. Such information would become useful to Blake at a later stage. He only broke his gaze to nod to the two who sought their beds. " Try not to distract the staff " he said knowing that while he did not have many staff, very few in fact.They were all kept busy with maintaining the estate.

Hearing the words about a visitor from Issac, he nodded slightly as he had felt her movements through the shadows earlier. But had paid no heed to it until now. Pushing himself off the wall he turned to gaze directly at the new arrival. With a short wave of the hand he beckoned her over. but aside from this movement it seemed he had no plan to move from his spot by the doors.

Circe Hammond

Issac commented on the newcomer casually, as if it was a normal occurance, which it nearly was. Circe turned away from the door and stepped outside again, looking for the person.

From a distance, it looked like a rather petite girl with a couple of swords. She was standing, casually regarding the spar between the two men as if it was a normal idea to see men with mystical powers.

"Maybe she's a Genesis as well," she turned towards Isaac.

Isaac saw Circe getting out of the house and look around "Maybe she's a Genesis as well,". Isaac looked at Circe and nodded. "She is." He said. "She is close enough for her powers to be felt." He shrugged "At least I can feel them." He looked at her questioningly "Can't you?" That gave him something to think about. Was it possible that everyone's ability were different? Aside from their powers, they could each feel different things about other genesis powers.

He looked back at the newcomer, and told her. "We are aware that you are a genesis. I presume you are aware of ours." She was close enough so that Isaac could say that without raising his voice. He waited to see what she would do, and took a good look at her, gaining all the information he could.

Trying to display a fake smile Jak looked back to Angela "Well since we both know we are basically opposites, I just wanted to get to know you for battle and what not. We do have to get used to being around each other, currently I can't stand being around you no offence. Your aura drives me insane, the feel and aura of the ocean bothers me." Jak looked away from her looking back to the rest of the group running his hand through his hair " You seem like a great person, very noble and such but we need to get used to fighting beside each other." With a smile he started to walk away "Maybe we could be friends one day," Jak jogged over to the rest of the group budding in as Sky challenged his counter part Derek.

"Derek... I challenge you to a spar, I want to see how well our Earth Genesis fights." Jak laughed as Circe called out in concern, "Leave them I think they can handle themselves hopefully..." his voice trailed off as he looked over to Blake " I have no interest in destroying any of your belongings my good sir, in order to do so I'll be taking my stay outside. My body heat is unstable when I sleep, I don't want to burn anything down." Jak said again as he relaxed

He sat on the ground phasing out of the battle, it was amusing to see the fight and the moves that they used to combat against one another. Sky and Derek fought with furosity but still like a light spar in which the other wouldn't get hurt hard enough. With a smile he watched as they switched to close quarters combat. Shrugging as the new comer came down from a tree, her aura was one of nature and tranquility. When Isaac spoke up the nature genesis He agreed, "how cant you feel her energy." Continuing to say "What is your name anyway?

Sky smiled as he jumped down, "well there's always my wits" he said still smiling, knowing he can use some awesome strategies to fight as he prepared to be light on his feet for the big brute's attacks, "I'll let you make your move" he said smiling. Sky knew his own style of Feigns and Facades, and it worked against the big foes, yet this one, he didn't exactly know because of the man's training. Soon though he noticed a purple haired girl whom had what he had noticed out of nowhere, "Well... I think we've found the eighth Genesis." he said smiling feeling the ability she had.

-little visitor. Her eyes narrowed slightly at the words, though otherwise brushed it off. Usually she would have been quick to reply with some snarky comment, but she also decided that seven against one didn't really put the odds in her favor. Shoving her hands into the hoodies front pocket, she made a point of tugging it down further to ensure they still couldn't see her all that clearly, considering it covered half her face and concealed her purple locks. It was just another thing people used to tease her about, other than her height, inability to talk at the worst times, and overall social ineptitude. The other boy- man, he looked to be at least twenty, raised a hand to beckon her over, though she stayed firmly in place.

The next sound came from a girl that had just exited the house, though she did recall just seeing her entering the house. Perhaps when she had heard the others talk about the new arrival she had gotten curious. It seemed like a reasonable enough explanation, but since when were girls reasonable? Either way her words didn't surprise Arrow, if she wasn't paying attention she wouldn't have picked up on the energy coming from her, or even could have gotten confused since there was so much energy from the beings around her. One thing she couldn't pinpoint was who had what power, obviously the boy up on the post had something to do with wind, and the one in the ground had something to do with earth. Though he could have also been nature, but she was pretty sure she couldn't do that. Easily she could feel each of the powers radiating around her, though there was so many it was hard to follow the trail back to the exact person.

She listened to the other man, the one who had called her little spout off a bit of nonsense to the girl, though it seemed almost as if he was more talking to himself than anything. When his eyes moved back to her she shifted slightly, making her appear a bit less on defense. With a small nod at his words, her eyes shifted to the other man that decided to speak up. For a moment she debated on if she would answer their question, in the end deciding that it would probably do little harm if she did. "My name is... Arrow." The pause in her words was nonexistent, though enough for one to wonder if she was being completely honest.

Isaac watched as the girl got closer. She was hiding her face, something Isaac could well relate to. Judging by her size, she must still be a teenager. She wasn't one of the talking kind and judging by her defensive posture, she was of the shy type. She also looked insulted, something Isaac found somewhat strange, then again, he found all teenager behavior strange. Isaac waited, but she just stood there. He went to rub his eyes in frustation, but his mask didn't allow it. Why did he even wore a mask? Oh, yeah, right. He realized that he was tired, which made him a little impatient and . He needed some sleep. When was the last time he slept? Three days ago? Four?

"My name is... Arrow" She finally said. Isaac nodded, satisfied that he finally got an answer. "I see. Well, Arrow, what is it that brings you here?" He asked. "Judging by the power that emerges out of you, I presume you are here to meet the rest of the genesis." He knew that he would have to wait some more time to get more answers. "You know, little one, that it would be more helpful if you gave us more information." He didn't want to sound mean, but due to her long time to answer and his tiredness, he was finding it hard to sound kind. He wondered if this was because of Blake. Unlike the others, he hasn't felt anything when close to his opposite, this might be the reaction. Yet, he doubted it. After all, everyone needs to sleep eventually.

It was a slightly chilly night as the Genesises were going about with their things, until most people's eyes we caught by the sounds of a fight, and soon guards came running over to detain the combatants with a 'special' guest. Soon they spoke out "What on earth is going on here?!" she yelled which Sky turned around to respond until he noticed, the yelling woman was Queen Kisonage. Sky fell of the light post he was on and just lay there, "Uh... We were sparring your highness." he said in a somewhat pained tone which rallied the Queen further, "And how were you on the Light Post?" she asked which Sky sat up to answer, "Uh... I control the wind." he said as the Guards backed up a little, "Ah so you're a Genesis?" she asked which Sky just nodded. The Queen looked at the others and nodded, "And who are these ones?" she asked.

Blake had become engrossed within his own thoughts that time had seemed to pass him by, it was only a recent commotion that snapped him out of it. Glancing out from his position he noted the presence of the guards. That was to be expected they were causing a fair bit of noise. Though almost instantly Blake took note of the guards armor, very fine and elegant, It could only mean one thing.Now that the day was drawing towards closure Blake was starting to feel different. His strides over towards the queen carried him with a well practiced dignity and pride. He stopped a comfortable distance away from the Queen as he noted the guards looked slightly edgy. Dropping to a knee he placed his right hand up to his heart and lowered his head. Such practiced formal manners should hopefully please the queen and ease the guards. " Your majesty... All upon this estate aside from my personal staff are Genesis.... as Master of this estate i wish to apologize for any disturbance my guest may have caused" he said, and while even on a knee, Blake still managed to produce an air of pride and strength While at the same time giving enough to the Queen that she would not be offended.

Circe Hammond

Circe had been reading when the queen had appeared, reprimandimg Sky curiously. Blake had stepped up to the plate and apologized for the commotion that had been caused.

Circe looked up from her book and realized that the queen was actually here. She gasped quietly and tried to hide her face by pretending to read again. After she had run away from home, her father had asked the queen to send the royal guards to find her. They had not found her yet, though there had been several close calls. She was adament about not going back home, besides, she had already made new friends.

The Queen looked at Blake, "Ah I see, I accept your apology" she said nodding as she turned to Sky, "And you, stop causing a ruckus. We're already looking into that mysterious Thunderbolt that appeared earlier today, we don't want winds picking up too." she said nodding as Sky looked up, "I actually know whom caused that, the Lightning Genesis, signaling the others as to where she was." he said smiling as the Queen looked at him, "and where is this Lightning Genesis?" she asked as Sky looked around and noticed Circe hiding her face in the book she was reading, which signaled something to him, he'll figure out why later, but it seemed Circe didn't want to be noticed, "They're not around here, I don't know where they went." he mentioned as the Queen gazed at him, "Uh-huh, any other missing Genesises?" she sarcastically asked as Sky looked back at the Queen, "not that I have noticed, My apologies." he said smiling before the Queen nodded and finally left. After he was out of sight and Earshot he jumped over to Circe and smiled, "so why were hiding your face?" he asked smiling.

Circe Hammond

"And where is the Lightning Genesis?" the queen said. Circe tensed, hoping that either Sky or Blake noticed that she didn't want to be seen by the queen or her guards.

"So why were hiding your face?" he asked smiling.

Circe jumped slightly then looked at Sky and then back down at her lap.

"Me? Hiding my face? No..well um... I'm a terrible liar..." she mumbled. "It's just that the queen's guards and I don't really have a perfect relationship. I'd rather not be seen by them."
