Description

Name: Lilly Vatalini Bedford

"I am the Lord of Shadows ..."



Image



Age: 15
Gender: Female



Image



Description: Lilly has long, blood red hair that she usually keeps in a messy ponytail. Her bangs are cut jagged and are always hanging in her face. Lilly also has piercing red eyes, almost look like that of a demon; her eyes turn cat-like when she is angry. Her small, delicate figure makes her look younger than she truly is. She doesn't go out much, so her skin is rather pale. The only thing somewhat large about her is her chest area. She prefers wearing shorts and skirts, along with tank tops and her favorite pair of combat boots. Everything she owns is black, the only color she feels comfortable in. Though small, she definitely packs a punch.


Image



Personality: Lilly, who prefers Vatalini, is generally the same as any other shadow mage. She likes to take night classes, hates being in the light and sleeps a lot. She is overall a smarty pants and loves to prove others wrong. But it doesn’t take a lot to get her in a bad mood. She absolutely loves to pick fights, and can hold her own, but her cockiness comes back at her most the time. If you become a close friend to her, she loves to pull pranks, even life threatening ones. This is the reason she doesn’t have many friends.


Image



Powers:
- Main Power Area: Shadow
† Shadow Puppet: Can manipulate shadows from up to 75 feet away.

† Shadow Fire: Creates a fire out of shadows that can pass through anything, sending a shock through the object it is passing through.

† Dark Wing: The ability to create wings out of shadow that act as real wings, giving the ability to fly fast but for only short periods of time.

† Summoner: Summons shadows for the Underworld, more powerful than normal shadows. Usually in the form of demons, such as beautiful men, women, and creatures.

† Shadow Clone: Creates a clone of the caster, made entirely of shadows. Being made of shadows, they can move and think on their own accord, but must obey their creator.

- Special Move:

† Shadow Lord: Creates a giant shadow puppet that engulfs the creator, moving as they do, with the ability to use all elements. Cannot be taken down unless hit with an enormous amount of light or the creator is killed. Other than that, the creator can stop it by will unless not properly trained, and then there is the possibility of them being over thrown by the shadows.

-Secondary Area: Fire

† Flame Sword: Creates flames that spin rapidly around the weapon of the creators choice.

+ Scaring Strangers

+ Friends

+ Forests

Image



History: Lilly was abandoned when she was a baby, and left to the shadows. Literally. She would be abnormally advanced for her age as a shadow mage, but her cockiness always got in the way of her training. She was set to school by her shadow so she could learn better control. As a young girl, and for the rest of her life, Lilly was raised be shadows, which wasn’t abnormal anymore. Anyone who has known her since she started elementary school knows what type of person she is.


Anything Else:
- Is currently in a relationship with Bryce Zephyr.

- Receives private magic lessons from the teacher, Mr. Beckenfield .





THE DEMON



Name: OZ



Image



Personality: OZ only speaks to Lilly and her closest friends, and always has an apathetic look on his face. He never pays attention to anyone and always has his face stuck in a spell book. In reality, OZ is Lilly’s shadow, just in a different form. He can also create different forms, but they are all scary shadow people. He changes into the forms at the will of his Master. He is very respectful, calling Lilly Master all the time, but once he changes form, his shadow insanity is revealed. All shadows are considered insane unless in their ’human’ form.


Image


Image


Likes:
+ Books

+ Silence

+ His Master

+ Sleep

+ Dark Places

Dislikes:
- Light

- Most laughter or happiness

- Anyone who speaks against his Master

He tried to hold her hand and pull her to safety but his hand slipped and she started to fall. Panic overtaking him before he could think he dove off of the branch pushing himself with the wind passing Lilly on her way to the ground. He aligned under her using some wind to slow her decent and catches her in his arms. He lowers them down to the ground his face still pale.

"I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened you were doing so well. Then suddenly you just fell. I've got you though. You’re safe." He holds her close trying to comfort her.

From the tree Ikari looks at OZ. "Well that worked about as well as we could have hoped. Just look at them." They looked down seeing Bryce holding her close and Lilly's arms around his neck. "We should just wait here and watch. Unless you have other ideas." OZ shook his head.

“Nope. I’m all idea free. You?”

Lilly didn’t mean to, but she held Bryce as tight as she could. She felt that if she let go, she might fall again. Sure they were safe on the ground, but Lilly wasn’t thinking straight. Her heart was beating extremely fast and she was almost to the point of hyperventilation. “How … the hell … did that … happen,” she said between deep breaths. Lilly removed her arms from around Bryce’s neck only to grab his shirt with her hands, keeping her face against his chest. “Stupid … balance … issues.” She clenched her jaws, continuing to try and return her breathing to normal. “… Thanks …,” she mumbled, not moving to look at him.

“How … the hell … did that … happen,” she said between deep breaths. Lilly removed her arms from around Bryce’s neck only to grab his shirt with her hands, keeping her face against his chest. “Stupid … balance … issues.” She clenched her jaws, continuing to try and return her breathing to normal.

"I don't know how it happened." He sat there panting slowly recovering his breath and senses. 'How did it happen? We were just standing there then suddenly she fell.'

“… Thanks …,” she mumbled, not moving to look at him.

He dropped his head resting it on top of hers. "I promised you that I wouldn't let you get hurt." Under his breath he mumbles. "I like you."

"I think their doing just fine for now. Hopefully they figure it out soon though." Ikari looks over them.

He dropped his head resting it on top of hers. "I promised you that I wouldn't let you get hurt." Under his breath he mumbles. "I like you."

Though she didn’t necessarily know what he meant, her heart rate speed up dramatically and her face got all heated and red. “Wh-,” she started but choked on the word. “What?” She managed the word, but it didn’t sound like enough. “What did you say,” she repeated, tightening her clench on his shirt. She pressed her head on his chest, not wanting to look up and disturb his resting head. “I don’t know what that means …” Thump, thump, thump, seemed to be all she heard. Was it her heart or his? It was almost impossible to tell. All she knew for sure was that something was happening … whether good or bad, she didn’t know. He was so close to her. Did she like it or did she want to push him away? SO many questions that she didn’t know how in hell she was supposed to answer them all.

OZ watched in slight delight as the events below unfolded, nodding slightly at Ikari.

“I don’t know what that means …”

Bryce held her more closely. "I said I like you. It means that I care about and want to spend time with you. I want you to be able to trust me and I trust you. I'd always be there for you whenever you need someone to talk to. I don't know beyond that really... I've never felt like this with anyone before." He pauses just focusing her being in his arms. The music playing in the trees becomes more peaceful and calming. He smiles. "I really do care about you Lilly."

Ikari relays the conversation to OZ after having used a spell to increase her hearing range. "This has gone about perfectly." She smiles looking at OZ. "Any thoughts?"

The music playing in the trees becomes more peaceful and calming. He smiles. "I really do care about you Lilly."

Lilly just stayed there, silent. He trusted her and wanted to spend time with her? Either he was really delusional or she had actually done something right. The happiness she was feeling … being okay with being so close to him … did it mean she liked him too? “You must be crazy,” she said with a slight smile. “I think that maybe … just maybe … I might … like you too.” Bryce was really warm, and he smelt good, it kinda made her want to stay with him like for … forever. The music continued to play gently in the background. It was an amazingly calming scene.

OZ looked down on Ikari. “I am absolutely amazed. That’s all I can think to say.” He couldn’t get jealous of Bryce and Lilly. He was her demon and could never be replaced. But it would be nice for her to be able to connect with someone other than him. “I’m just hoping that things turn out for the better.”

“You must be crazy,” she said with a slight smile. “I think that maybe … just maybe … I might … like you too.”

Bryce slowly let out his held breath. "I know I'm crazy. It makes life more fun." He chuckled. "Besides if I wasn't crazy I doubt I would have been able to tell you how I felt." He lifts his head off of Lilly's smiling down at her. 'I don't think I've been this happy since the day I met Ikari. This has got to be one of the best days of my life.'

"It would seem that they figured it out. Would you like to go join them? It is about time we get them heading back to the school curfew was an hour ago. Hate to see such a wonderful evening put off by them not being able to go on the field trip" Ikari was proud of Bryce. 'Good job Bryce you weren't stupid.

Lilly looked up at Bryce, a smile and blush still on her face.

OZ nodded and quickly jumped from branch to branch till he was safely on the ground. “Are you alright, Master,” he asked, walking slowly over to her. “I’m fine,” she said as she looked over to her demon. “Wasn’t that fun?”

“I don’t consider watching you almost die twice in a day fun, Master. More along the lines of terrifying.” OZ hugged his Master from behind before stepping back. “We should head out. It’s getting pretty dark out. Being in a forest when it’s dark can be dangerous.” Lilly patted the side of her book where she had kept her dagger. “I’m all set if anything happens.”

“But you still have training tomorrow.”

“Like I care! I’m probably gonna skip it anyways. We’ve already done enough of hunting those Devils that we shouldn’t have to practice.”

Ikari follows OZ down the tree.“I don’t consider watching you almost die twice in a day fun, Master. More along the lines of terrifying.” OZ hugged his Master from behind before stepping back. “We should head out. It’s getting pretty dark out. Being in a forest when it’s dark can be dangerous.” "Way to kill the mood OZ they were having fun." Bryce takes his standard position still holding Lilly's hand with his free hand. Lilly pats her dagger “I’m all set if anything happens.” "I already said she isn't going to get hurt in the forest. There's nothing to worry about."

"Though he is right curfew was an hour ago." "That late huh? Lets hope Robert doesn't find out we were out so late or we may not get to go on the field trip." He chuckles slightly. "So... umm. would you like to walk back? Or if you preferred I could fly us." He smiles at Lilly.

Lilly placed her free hand on her hip. “I doubt he would be that mean. We would go anyways even if he did. And you can relax OZ.” She chewed on her lip. OZ just pulled a book out of is back pocket and started off in the direction of the school. “That snooty ass can’t tell me what to do.” Lilly glanced at Bryce before answering his question. “We should walk … that takes longer,” she said, taking a few steps forward. Lilly looked around at the shadowy forest, almost as if she was expecting something to come out. Now that they had brought up Robert, she remembered what he said about attacking where ever and when ever he wanted. It was already an … instinct of hers to check her surroundings, making sure that there was always an available exit. The list of what went on in her head at all hours was almost endless. But with the … ‘threats’, she was sent into hyper drive.

"Walking it is!" Bryce smiled. He notices Lilly looking around. "Robert isn't here Lilly. Unless he knows the winds better than I do they would have told me that someone was approaching us. You can relax." He chuckles and starts walking Lilly's hand still in his. 'Now what was that thing I was supposed to do if a girl ever liked me?... Great time to draw a blank... What a drag. This is important. Oh yeah. I'm supposed to ask her to be my girlfriend... He gets nervous again. "So umm.. how'd you enjoy the evening?" He tried to start a conversation.

"Oh great now hes gonna struggle through this part..." Ikari silently laughs from her perch on Bryce's shoulder.

Lilly sighed, relaxing, and smiled back at Bryce. “It was amazing. You really know how to help someone relax.” She slowed down a bit, trying to stay as close as possible to Bryce without entangling her feet with his. But her eyes were occupied as the trees vanished one by one to be replaced by city lights and buildings. She was sad to leave, but excited to get back to the dorms in her nice, warm, dark room and take a super long, much needed rest. “What about you? I have a habit of ruining things,” she said, looking down at her feet.

Bryce squeezed Lilly's hand lightly. "It was perfect. I wouldn't have had it any other way." He smiles brightly. "And ummm I have a question for you... If you don't mind that is..." As they left the trees the winds shifted back to normal and his song stopped as they crossed the first building's corner. 'That was the best my song's ever sounded... I'll miss it... I can't wait to tell Zac about my night! I wonder what he's been up to. Probably resting after his fight with Lilly.

Lilly smiled at Bryce. “Feel free. I’m not the smartest person in the world, but I’m sure I can answer it eventually. What is it?” OZ looked back at the pair. He knew what Bryce was going to ask, and by the way Lilly was looking at him, it was sure to make it harder. He chuckled to himself and continued to walk and read at the same time. Lilly looked quickly at OZ then back to Bryce. What’s he laughing about, she thought. I’m not that stupid. “I have an amazingly wide range of knowledge on magical creatures and how to defeat them,” she said, loud enough for OZ to hear. People walking by might have looked at her like she was weird, but Lilly never cared about that. "So like I said before, what ever your question, I can answer it."

"My question isn't really about creatures or anything like that... I know you know a lot about them. You almost had more info on the Jersey Devils than the teacher. You really know what your doing when it comes to stuff like that"'Ramble locked I need to stop.' He continues babbling for a short while. After a moment Bryce stops and takes a deep breath. 'Why does she have to be so cute when I'm trying to say things?' "What I'm trying to say..." Another deep breath. "Lilly would you maybe consider being my girlfriend?" He holds his breath mentally preparing himself for the worst and best.

Ikari throws a look at OZ seeming to say. "He's hopeless."

Lilly smiled when Bryce rambled on for a short while. But then a much unexpected question popped up, at least unexpected on her part. She stared blankly at him, only because she knew exactly what he meant for once. She had gone to school long enough to know what a girlfriend was. Sure she didn’t know anything else, but she had overheard boys going on and on about things they did with their girlfriends or how amazing their girlfriends were. She even had OZ explain it to her once. He was only trying to scare her when he replied, but she didn’t know and had always taken it seriously. His exact words had been, “A girlfriend and boyfriend are like friends, but more passionate. They never leave each other, always, always together. They do things with each other that normal friends wouldn’t do.” When she asked like what, he replied, “Oh, kiss, go out to see movies and eat together alone. Sometimes they even make babies.” She had also known what that was, so she screamed ew and said she would never ever have a boyfriend. But now that it is actually happening, she didn’t know what to say.

OZ had caught Ikari’s look and sent one back as if to say, “They both are.” Then he noticed Lilly having an internal freak out that only he would really notice, he went back to his book. “I was kidding back then, Master. You guys really wouldn’t do all that. I wouldn’t allow it at least.” Then Lilly let out a small sigh of relief, but she still had to answer Bryce. “U-Um … I don’t uh … y-you see ...” She racked her brain for the right answer. It was a yes or no question, but which one was she supposed to say. Lilly saw Bryce was just as nervous as her. He had shown her an amazing night, saved her from becoming a giant human pancake and wasn’t scared of her. She felt safe and secure around him. The feeling of being the most hated person in the world disappeared. Her bitterness and hatred and anger faded. So she just spoke from her heart. “Yes.” She had said it ever so gently, smiling the same as her eyes seemed to sparkle. For the first time, her eyes seemed to have life within them instead of the same dull look they always had.

“Yes.”

It was the only word Bryce had heard. It was the only one he wanted to hear. He jumped for joy. Literally he jumped into the sky over 100 feet up doing spins and flips as he went coming back down landing beside Lilly smiling so big it almost looked stupid. "Thank you. I was so nervous. This has literally been the best night ever." He grabs Lilly's hand again. "Sorry about that... I got a little carried away." He chuckles a bit. Ikari sitting dizzy on his shoulder. "Warn me before you do something like that Bryce." "Sorry Ikari I'm just really happy." Ikari looks back at OZ a proud smile on her face 'They did it.'

Lilly jumped slightly as Bryce launched himself in the air, glad he didn’t take her with him. She continued to smile as he came back down to Earth, saying how happy he was. “It really is the best day ever.” She looked down blushing. Of course she got horribly beaten twice in a day, but this … this definitely made up for it. Before any thoughts could pop into Lilly’s head, OZ comforted her. “Just saying, cause I don’t want you asking later, no this doesn’t make you vulnerable, Master. If anything it’s going to make you stronger.” To him that sounded more like something to say after a break-up, but, it was Lilly, she was bound to think it sooner or later. He caught another look from Ikari, but only smiled and went back to his book. Soon enough they were sneaking through the school gates hoping no one would notice them. “Time for sleep,” OZ mumbled. “Have a good night, you two,” he directed towards Ikari and Bryce with a bow.

Bryce yawned. "I agree OZ time for sleep." He hugs Lilly close smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow maybe work on teaching you some wind magic if your feeling up to it." He chuckles. "Good night Lilly sleep well. You too OZ." After Lilly says her goodbyes he runs off to his room being careful to avoid anyone patrolling the halls. Reaching his room he jumps into his bed. "Ikari today was amazing. Thanks for all of your help." She smiles innocently "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything." "Thank you for always being there for me." With that Bryce pulled the covers over himself and Ikari drifting to sleep waiting for tomorrow.

Lilly smiled and hugged back, quickly saying goodbye before her and OZ snuck back into the dorm. It was dark as always, but didn’t take long to get to the bed, change and lay down. OZ was still trying to finish what he could of the book before he took his usual spot next to Lilly in bed. So Lilly took the time to practice a little magic. “I noticed something that Robert did today … maybe the only thing I saw him do. He had created a double of himself out of ice. I want to see if I can do that with a shadow …” Lilly pointed in the direction of where one particular shadow was swaying. It eased over the ground, making its way to her feet. Once it got there, it slowly began to change into another Lilly. Both Lilly’s reached out and touched each other’s hands, surprising the original that it was a solid copy. “This could be so useful.”

~~~~~NEXT DAY~~~~~

OZ had been awake for some time, getting breakfast for Lilly and himself. He had gone and gotten Burger King and some coffee for the two of them. She had decided last night to stay on the roof, where she had had her first battle with Luke, and practice her Shadow magic, and maybe some other spells she knew. If she was missing something important, than she would see from the roof. Lilly, of course, was still asleep. She wanted to sleep in as much as possible so she wound have as much energy as possible. The only electricity in their dorm room was in their bathroom, so he was basically her alarm clock. If it would have been an important class, he would have gotten her up an hour ago. But even he thought it was redundant to attend a session if they already knew how to kill Jersey Devil’s in one shot. Even a low class Keeper could do it if agile enough. “I should wake her up now …,” he said in a low whisper. “Lilly,” he said softly, but loud enough for him to wake her. “Master, if you want to train today, you should get up so you have enough time to practice before actual class starts.”

Lilly’s eyes slowly opened, sighing and glaring as OZ woke her up. “Fine. I’ll get up …” It was a long process of getting her in the shower, her teeth brushed and her hair done. After it dried, she just put what would stay in a ponytail up. Her bangs hung in her face. She decided to wear her black skinny jeans, her combat boots and a black tank top. The dagger was stuck in a normal knife holder this time, one Lilly had bought a long time ago. The dagger fit perfectly in it, like it was meant for it. “I’m ready,” she said in a hushed voice as she attached the holder to the back of her pants. “Is that your weapon of choice, Master,” OZ questioned, pointing to her bed. Lilly had an assortment of weaponry hidden under her bed, some much more effective than a simple dagger. “If this is the only thing I’m allowed to use on the trip, than it is all I will practice with. Besides, practicing with this should widen my abilities.”

~~~~~ON THE ROOF~~~~~

Lilly was on the opposite side of the roof, at a point where she could watch her classmates trickle into the ‘special’ courtyard. One by one, they met up with Robert who was standing by an old looking fountain. He was going on about something she didn’t bother to listen too. Shadow magic was pretty quiet, so there was no reason someone should come snooping. But she would have to be careful with the other spells or moves she used. They might be a little more noisy. “Okay,” she whispered to herself as she walked to the middle of the far left part of the roof. “First, I need a partner.” Lilly clapped her hands together and concentrated for a bit, then opening her eyes to reveal something she had worked on practically all night. A Shadow Double. It was a perfect duplicate of her, same clothes, same hair, same everything. The only difference with the shadow doubles, something she didn’t get, was that they had pitch black eyes, completely black. She smiled at the dummy, who had smiled back at her, and got in a fighting stance. Zac had told her that her form was sloppy, but while he was downstairs learning how to kill a Jersey Devil, she would have to just deal with it. The dummy took the same stance as it waited for her to make a move. “Now, fight like your real. My weapon may be able to go right through you, but I still have the ability to touch you. Fight like my dagger could slice you to pieces.” All it did was nod. OZ knew that Shadow Double’s shouldn’t have had intelligent responses at her level, but Shadow’s were also alive, so they probably knew what to do. Of course he worried about having her fight a Shadow, but she needed to practice, and OZ, unless in true form, wasn’t the fighting type.
