Savel Gaolava's Story

Savel flitted through the air on her steely wings, she flew with her back parallel to the ground, her eyes closed as she reclined on the cushion of air. She smiled, her teeth glinting ever so slightly in the light. She was above a train station, out of sight from anyone, the roof blocking her spot from prying eyes. She could, however see everyone else. She watched everyone pass about in the station, and tried to see Blake, her fellow missionary. She saw him eventually and grinned. Savel stretched and quickly fluttered behind a tree. She then scrunched her eyes closed, and disguised herself as an innocent school girl going to the festival. Her usual disguise. She raised her hands to the tree, and made a very realistic looking satchel out of the tree's wood. She tested it out, and smiled. She then strode out confidently onto the train station, then entered the train.

With wide green eyes and a fake festival ticket sticking out of her satchel, Savel sat a few rows behind Blake as she knew he would see her, and he knew her disguise. She didn't want him to know she was part of this mission too. She sat back and relaxed, listening to the chatter of the Glass around her. She was tutting over how stupid they were when Satan's voice echoed through her mind. "Tonight, you will start what we will end." She grinned mischievously and waited for the journey to stop so she could wreak some havoc. Eventually they stopped outside Mother Gaia's garden, and she could barely contain herself. She remembered she was in disguise as a stupid Glass child so she let out a whoop and exited the train, hoping that Blake and the Glass accompanying him hadn't noticed her.

She watched as Blake and the Glass girl entered the garden and Blake killed the flowers. Savel felt pity and amusement at the same time, and wondered which emotion to respond to. She smiled and when no one was looking, she made wooden thorn flowers on the dead vines. She did love thorns. She entered the garden, a little jolt running through her as she put foot on the holy land. She shuddered then continued on. Savel watched as Blake fooled the green haired Glass girl, and shifted into his fox form. She decided now would be a good time to step in. She sped to the fox form Blake, and knelt next to him. She called out in a sugar sweet voice;"Someone! Help! One of Mother's creatures is hurt!" As the green haired girl approached, Savel winked and rose a finger to her lips at Blake before the girl got there. She put on a facade of worry and looked up at the Glass. "I think someone stepped on it! I don't know how to heal animals, do you know anything? Anything at all?" She forced a tear to her eye and waited for her response.

Kozue was puzzled as to why the guy ran away suddenly just now. However puzzled she was, she continued on. She was getting closer to the heart of the garden where Mother Gaia is resting. She felt warm in her heart. 'Maybe this is the part where people feel peace and rest in peace...', she thought to herself.

Then, she heard a call for help. She followed the sound and arrived at the scene where there was a girl with a fox on the ground. "I think someone stepped on it! I don't know how to heal animals, do you know anything? Anything at all?" The girl asked as tears brimmed in her eyes. Kozue became very much flustered.

"Hmm...I don't really know..." Kozue said as she bent down to smooth the jet black hair, hoping to ease the pain. "We should bring it to Mother Gaia. I am sure that she can do something about it." Kozue said as she picked up the fox and started bringing it back on the right track. 'Is it me or does this fox feel cold to the touch?', she thought to herself.

Blake whimpered as he was picked up. Taking the form of an animal allowed him to do as they do, yet he was really a spirit, so he could still speak. Most shapeshifters couldn't do so. Blake looked at Savel and sent her a mental feeling of pleasure to tell her she had done well. It was challenging to focus all of his mind in it, but he did. That's how spirits spoke to mortals, that's why they rarely did it, it's extremely hard.

Blake could tell he was cold. It was hard to focus on making himself warm seeing as spirits were cold. But maybe he could play it off as the first symptom of a disease. Blake began to cough and shake, between coughs he whimpered like, well a stepped on pup. Blake was good at deception, he drew strength when Glass did it so he liked to view such things.

It begun coughing and shaking as Kozue hurried to Mother Gaia. She hugged it close to her to give it some warmth. The other girl followed after her. As Kozue ran, she felt many pairs of eyes on her. She shrugged it off as Mother Gaia's creature in the Garden. She ran to the center where she saw a figure sitting among the plants, she seems to be resting. "Mother-Mother Gaia! The fox..." Kozue said in between pants as she stretch out the fox towards Mother Gaia. The figure moved to motion Kozue to go closer. Kozue followed. She took a few steps closer.

Mother Gaia gently stroked the fox before retracting her hand. "How did you get in here? You are...A part of The Sealed." Mother Gaia said as the plants around her suddenly take an offensive stance. "Glass girl, you should let go of it. Now!" Mother Gaia said as she pulled Kozue away after Kozue let the fox down.

'This fox is a sealed?' Kozue thought blankly.

Blake shuddered at The Mothers touch. Blake leaped from the girls arms and took a stance toward The Mother. "Call off your vile pets." Blake said in his true voice, as a Glass he sounded like a normal man, but as any other form his voice was smooth, charming, and intimidating. Blake sat on his fury haunches and scratched at his ear. "I'm here as a messenger. The world is changing, and if you don't want to be collateral damage the true father of this world kindly offers you a spot below him in exchange for your life." Blake said. He would have taken his true form, but a dragon would be much to offensive of a position to take as a messenger. A small venerable black fox would be nearly harmless. "And don't try capturing me and sealing me again. Your seal is far too weak for the likes of me." Blake added.

Blake made a link with Savel quickly in his mind. "She only suspect me so far, as long as I keep her distracted you should be able to hold the Glass girl hostage so we can get out of here after this pompous treehugger has received her message. Then I can set this filth garden alight." Blake told Savel.

"Working below? I do not need it, I'd rather perish than work under someone as corrupted as him." Mother Gaia spatted out, holding Kozue close to herself. "Tell him that I also have my own messengers. 6 in fact. They will defeat him in my stead, they will erase the Sealed race." Mother continued.

'Erase the Sealed..?' Kozue thought. "She is one of them." Mother added, as if she declared something so important that the whole world should know. "Yes?!" Kozue asked aloud.

"Tell him that his end is near and only time will proof that evil can never overtake good." Mother Gaia said proudly in a threatening matter.

"I will tell him all that you have said. I believe it is wise of you to choose six to die for you instead of an entire army. Quicker for me and less work. About erasing the Sealed though... One problem... How can you erase what is not there?" With that Blake let his black fox form shed. The form kind of just turned to dust and blew away with a chilling wind. Blake had taken his original form. A spirit. The Mother could most likely sense his presence, but he didn't mind, this was just to scare that glass girl, and put on a good show Blake wasn't "The Minstrel" for nothing.

Blake allowed himself to float up over the garden. The place was beautiful and made blake want to vomit. Blake channeled some of his energy into the trees in the garden and set them alight. Savel would find her own way out. She would be ok. "Hear my music Mother, and ejoy." Blake taunted. He saw Savel wasn't doing anything. He sighed and took on his dragon form. Since he took it out of his spirit form it looked like he just appeared of thin air. Blake swooped down letting out a harsh roar right at mother Gaia and the green haired girl. Blake grabbed savel between his talons and let out a huge beat of his wings and he was off.

The fox disappeared in front of Kozue's eyes. More accurately, it turned to dust. "Wha-" She was about to say before the Garden was set ablaze. "Mother...Gaia..." Kozue said as she tried to process the information. 'Me? 6 messengers? Satan? I thought I was going to die? Why?' She could only think of questions and more questions.

"Ugh..." Mother breathed out. Kozue focused her attention on Mother Gaia and noticed burnt wounds on her arms. "Put out the fire for me." She whispered and rain started raining from a corner of the Garden and spread out, however, it did not rain over at where the two of them was. "Kozue, I need your help. Please help me restore peace to this world and this residents. You have to go in search of the other 5. I am sure you can do it." Mother Gaia said, smiling as she patted Kozue on the back. "But...I am already considered dead." Kozue muttered, my mind in a mess. "Yes, I understand. I will try to not get you to your town anymore. In this journey, this little guy will keep you company." Mother said as the same blue little bird flew down. "Her name is Piyo." Mother Gaia introduced. The bird rested on Kozue's shoulders.

"She will protect you from dangers until you can do so by yourself. I will leave it to you Kozue. Now, get going." Mother said as she kissed Kozue on the forehead.

Savel stood on the side of the whole thing, acting befuddled by all that was happening, like a teenager glass would be. Inside however she was barely stopping herself from laughing, as she couldn't believe that Mother Gaia herself hadn't sensed her yet. Observing her, she reckoned that must be what Satan would have looked like if he'd walked the good path. And been female. She shuddered, almost gagging with the purity she emitted. She was glad that any weak glass would be overwhelmed with power and react in that way, so she was in the clear. Then, when Blake sent her a mental image, she smirked, already planning what she would do. Then, when Blake sassed the Mother herself, she subtly mouthed to his spirit form behind her mouth; Ouuuuuch! Knowing they would start to suspect her, Savel shook her glass knees, and whimpered, then before anyone could do anything, ran into the trees screaming, disappearing in the shadows of the canopy.

Once out of sight, Savel returned to her normal form. She sighed in bliss. Glass clothes were ridiculous, the only really useful thing of the outfit was the bag, which she then threw on the ground. It exploded into splinters, but Savel was untouched as she strode away, adjusting her ebony wood hair clip. She might as well look good if she was gonna wreak havoc on this place. She jumped high into the air, leaving a little cloud of dust unsettled on the ground as she took off. She fluttered above the garden, keeping to the edge of the crowd's view. She lay with her belly parallel to the ground, hovering as she watched people walking about below. She peered until she saw Blake and sent him a mental message. So, you ready to get this festival interesting? I'll get the Glass girl when she isn't in reach of the Mother though. She grinned at the thought of the havoc about to occur.

"You know it, so... Shall we burn the children first or the parents?" Blake asked Savel through their mind link. He glided farther down closer to Savel and stopped for a brief moments and then took on the form of a hawk. His hawk form like like most of his other animal forms, larger than a normal one and black. Blake looked at Savel and didn't know why he felt something, an emotion most foreign to him. It seemed to be coming from his Glass form, beckoning to him, making him feel his pulse, and feel warm. Was this trust? Was is comfort? Was Blake happy to have her working with him? Blake shook these thoughts away and regretted ever taking on the form of a Glass. Emotions were for the weak, only those who were precise and with logic could survive in this unforgiving world.

Blake beat his wings at a certain tempo that seemed to match his pulse. It was faster than it should have been. These emotions were clouding Blakes mind. Blake once again cursed himself for ever taking the form of a Glass, and therefore their emotions. Blake felt as if all Glass were slaves to their emotions. That's why they were such a non superior race.

Savel hovered next to her partner in crime and thought on his question, wondering which to do first. She knew no one would hear, she whispered;"We should create a distraction, then you separate the kids with your fire like KABOOM! They'll piss themselves." She laughed to herself, glad she worked for the devil. Not something an average being on Gaia would say. She reclined on a cushion of air and grinned, her eyes alight with a flame of slight insanity, as usual. She observed Blake as his hawk wings beat slightly faster than normal, and was puzzled as to why he exhausted himself so. She shrugged it off and continued planning. She grinned when she thought of a great way to create dark feelings in glass hearts below. She held a finger to her lips then fluttered around behind the crowd, out of sight, sending a mental note to Blake. "Get ready."

Getting to a good vantage point, Savel hovered above the crowd, and subtly but quickly grew trees far ahead of the glass on the path. When the crowd got to the trees, she furrowed her brow, and made a master piece of wood out of sight of the crowd, then grinned at it, proud of her work. She then set it down, and drove the ice cream truck to a small patch and bent the trees over it, making it look like it was bathed in heavenly light. On a hot day like this, kids would beg for ice cream. And they did. They tugged on their parent's coats and pants, gathering awwwws from childless adults. Parents dug into their wallets, and gave their children whatever loose change they had, and sent them on their way. Of course there were the occasional tight parents, but that wouldn't matter in a while.

When everyone was busy giving their children money, Savel fluttered down into the van, behind the counter, and leaned on it, smiling happily at the children, and widened her eyes. "Hey kids! Now, what'll it be?" She asked the kid at the front, and he looked at her puzzled. "Aren't you a divine? Why are you in an ice cream van?" Savel stood straight, put a finger to her chin and looked at the child, mocking him and the other children. "You know what, it's just occurred to me why a not so divine divine such as me is doing here!" She then pulled her finger away, but kept the mocking look on her face. "It's because you're going to die!" Savel then brought her hands palm up and raised them above her head, her face keeping that terrifying look as she rose tall thorn bushes from the ground, forming a wall between the adults and the children for Blake to set alight, summoning cries of MY BABY! or DANNY! but, only one bothered to try and run to the wall. Savel tutted and controlled the thorns to surround the would be hero, blocking him from view and sunlight, thorns jabbing into him, summoning gashes and cuts, and only Savel knew. And Blake of course, thanks to their mental link. Which reminded Savel. "Blake! You gonna set this sucker alight?" Savel then settled down, and watched the weeping children in front of her, waiting for the stupid Glass girl Mother Gaia had chosen to be her "Warrior"

Blake watched above with devilish glee at such a devastating sight. This was what music was like, the screams and then silence, the greatest music of all. "You know me, I need to make a show." Blake told Savel. Blake once again switched to his dragon form. He soared above like a scavenger, knowing that the people below were already dead. Some of the less loving, or adults with no children tried to run, Blake swooped down and shot a gout of fire out of his mouth in front of them. Blake them landed about twenty feet away from the parents that were trapped between a dragon, and a literal wall of thorns. Blake looked at the wall of thorns and snorted, firing a small ball of fire at the thorns that set them alight. There were more screams form the parents for their children. Blake laughed inside.

Blake lowered his head and opened his maw, he let an inferno of a blaze leap forth from his belly and out over the Glass parents. They danced around on fire like they all had bugs trying to crawl up their legs. "Set the children free, they should say goodbye to their parents shouldn't they?" Blake asked with evil in his minds voice.

Savel watched Blake's havoc, and grinned at the mischief. "This is GREAT! I'll make holes in the thorns. Why let them say goodbye?" She laughed out loud, and bent the thorns to her will, making large holes in the fire that the cowering children could see through. She smirked evilly at their expressions as they watched all they'd ever known since they were born go up in flames. She laughed manically, and decided to terrify them some more. She fluttered down in front of the children and as she landed as a silhouette in front of the fire, she sent a mental message to Blake. "Try and shepherd that Glass girl here somehow. I'm going to put on a show for the kids."Opening her eyes again, Savel looked down at the children huddled on the ground and pouted her lips at them. "Don't worry kiddie winks! We'll be back to the show right after this break!" She then clicked her fingers and the thorns rose in a circle around the children. As she was slowly hidden from view, Savel waved cheerily at the children, not reacting in any way to the tears streaming down their faces.

Savel fluttered above the cage of thorns she'd made for the children, looking for the glass girl. She looked down at the terrified children and smiled, entertained by the havoc she had caused with Blake. She turned to see the parents and adults burning, screaming and running around. She laughed, and flew higher, getting a better view of the garden. She lay on a pocket of air, her wings barely flapping at all. She looked around and saw the glass girl running towards the crystal forestwith a blue bird. Using her magic, she saw it was a magical bird, but very basic. Not a shape shifter. She grinned and sent a message to Blake. "Get that bird away from her. I'll do the rest."

"Done." Blake said, he smashed his wings towards the ground taking lift off, then he changed into the form of a falcon. Big enough to kill a little blue bird, small and agile enough to catch it. Blake climbed through the air reaching a great hight, then he turned his beak down and speeded towards the green haired girl, Blake literally had eyes like a hawk... or falcon. He could see his prey from miles away. Blake plummeted at breakneck speed towards the little birdie then as he got about twenty feet behind the girl he began to pull up, and he was in perfect position to clamp this little blue disgrace in his beak and break it's neck.

Ignore.

OOC: Sorry about my post, I was a bit of a gmodder. :( Again, apologies.

Savel observed the Glass girl as she crashed into a familiar face. Vod was here too? This party was just getting started it seemed. She watched as he acted the stupid Glass, and snickered. She decided to wait, as Blake seemed to be doing so too. Knowing Blake, he would probably cut them off, and Savel would be open to grab the girl. Vod would do something, she wasn't sure what, but he would do something. She slowly floated just above the group, and as she waited, she tightened her gauntlets. Se didn't want a loose grip. The girl couldn't die from falling, she had to make a guest appearance for the kids!
