Honestly Kali was trying so hard to focus, muster some darkness. Something, something to help ignis. She noticed his aura gadding and then the stone doing something, she hoped it was something useful because she sure wasn't any help. No. Focus, she held her hands out and started to create a ball of darkness, it slowly getting bigger before flickering and going out.
She noticed how the sun was setting, okay it's night I should be able to conjure something she took a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
She stroked his head gently, darkness started to radiate underneath her palms. She tensed her brows in concentration as more darkness manifested, don't get frustrated, don't get frustrated, don't get frustrated. Just focus. Darkness struggled to come out even further. She pushed even harder straining herself to make it come out in choppy clumps. All the darkness that came out would seep into ignis, restoring his lost energy. She eventually stopped, darkness stopped and she started to breath again. She took off his hoodie and folded it setting it down and laying his head on it. Then she stood up and screamed into the night air. "STUPID FRICKING MAGIC STEALING INFUSED MAGICAL WATER!" she yelled cursed words into the night air, kicking things and punching things.
Ignis woke up, feeling the stone helping him somehow. He was barely strong enough to stand. He groaned with every muscle he used while getting up, "That…took more magic than I anticipated."
"Ignis!" Immediately at his side, "you do realize that you just have to sit up, I would not suggest standing up." Crap that sounds dumb, and obvious. Oh whatever. She huffed. "you had me worried jerk." She huffed. Great now that sounds selfish, why am I even caring this much?!
"Do you know what that water was?"
Ignis sat down, at first feeling pain but better after he sat. Ignis peered around him, seeing the difference between when they came to now, "I fear it is Darkness. If not her then something far more dangerous. Plainly speaking, I do not know what this water is. As for your worries, I'm too good lookin to die now." He attempted to laugh but it only ended in painful oughing.
When he mentioned it might be darkness, she immediately stiffened up and looked up. Her encounter with darkness when she opened the door came to mind. She had talked about how it wouldn't help Kali take one more step, had she been right? Did she try to drown them? She didn't even notice his joke she was so lost in thought, she did hear his coughing though, she summond some normal drinking water on the second try, she handed it to him and sighed.
Ignis saw Kali stiffened. He was even surprised when she didn't hear the joke. Ignis took the water but just sat it down. He moved close to Kali, their shoulders touching, "Wow, hey you are just lost in thought. I only imagine what goes on in there." He slightly and playfully nudges Kali to get her attention.
"hm?" She noticed as he set the water to the side. "you need to drink this you know. Don't just set it aside idiot." She crossed her arms at him. She didn't even blush at how close they were, which was immediately strange. He heard the thought comment and just sighed again looking to the side. "You have no idea." What if darkness was targeting me and ignis just happen to be there and he got hurt? What if darkness found out how much I cared for him and tried to use him against me?.. she looked down at the ground, her eyes fogging up with these thoughts.
Alister stared at the ball in his hands, almost frozen in place. Noel turned to him. “I’ll take it. You’re better at comforting people than I am.”
He gazed at her gratefully, a smile creeping up on him. “Thanks. I have a feeling you could take care of it better than I could.”
She took the dim ball of light, and Alister sat down beside Evan, putting a hand on his shoulder. He wished he could say something, but he doubted that he would understand.
(Dang it it didn't send-)
Evan looked at him before leaning against him seeking out silent comfort.
(Night.)
Ignis got up against the pain. The feeling of his muscles ache and strain. To be physically weak and fragile. His head raced and his heart beat fast. He wasn't sure what the water was made of nor why Kali seemed to worry. Whatever this problem was, he doubted such magic could just be casted.
the thing snapping her out of her dark thoughts was ignis getting up, which made her get up. "If you wont sit down then at least take some pain meds,….not that we have any….ugh!" she huffed, frutrated. she could barely even help ignis it felt, yet again like she was a burden. Now that she could barely use her darkness, she fel useles she couldnt summon things, couldnt shadow travel. wait…she forot she had light, she hadnt mastered in but…maybe she could- no. it wouldnt work.
she covered her face with her hands, honestly kinda wanting to cry.
"I dont know why…but for some reason darkness attacked us possibly trying to drown us…and i think the reason you got involved is because your close to me." So bascially your like this because of me and your hurt because of me.
hiro noticed ignis and kali. he rushed over " whats wrong? what symptoms did he have before he became like this" ( has hard time intergrateing into chat ;-;)
(yeah sorry, kali's not exactly gonna be nice, i apologise but she would probably just end up ignoring him. sorry dude.)
( so is there anythin i can do?)
(well i would suggest waiting for story creator at least, so he can respond to both messages. Because you arent getting anything out of kali. sorry dude.)
Ignis, slowly regaining his strength and turned to Hiro, "What the hell? How did you…it doesn't matter. I'm fine. It appears we have just came into contact with a strange form of enchanted water. This strand appears to drain magic rather than offering special properties. Quite fascinating and terrifying at the same time." Ignis limped every step he took, feeling the pain in his legs.
"I hate this." she grumbled, a glare present on her face. "Ignis i swear you shouldn't be walking right now." she glared at ignis and then at hiro. "seriously who are you and how did you get here?" she glared them down just generally pissed. "Evan and them are still inside the temple, we need to get them out before darkness pulls something on them." she honestly was so frustrated. "IM so fricking pissed." she walked towards the entrance.
(Dang it it didn't send-)
Evan looked at him before leaning against him seeking out silent comfort.
(Night.)
(Doing homework but who cares)
Alister’s face reddened slightly as he opted to take Evan’s hand, rubbing it gently. He felt Noel sit next to him, seemingly focused on the light. As they sat there, waiting for the light to go out, he remembered another time like this. He and his sister had been sitting in the closet, waiting for their dad to finish catching this cat who had wandered into the house, which he believed to be another demon his children had brought inside with them. They could hear screeching and glass breaking, and when they were told to come back outside, the gleeful face of their father suffocating the poor cat greeted them. They were careful to not to get too close to any animals or pets after that.
(thats so sad-)
Evan took his hand and sqeezed it gently. he didn't know what to do cept try not to have a breakdown on alister.
Ignis walked up to Kali, "There is a way for us to…help." He slowly took out a Star Crystal from his back pocket. He looked at it intently as the crystal glowed.
she stared him down. "As long as it doesn't involve you doing more magic I'm okay with it." she looked back down at the crystal.
" .." hiro seemed to play the silent card. he walked around gathering multiple things and kept looking in a book. the book seemed to have an old ruined leather cover.
Ignis held on side of the crystal and motioned Kali to take the other, "Which element do you want?" Ignis smiled as looked at the temple, "I know which one I want. Which one I need"
hiro looked over his shoulder " you said theres people in there right.?"
