The girl doesn't have an answer for me, looks like she hasn't thought of her name. "Well, you better come up with one then, okay? Everyone has a name, how else will I know how to call you?" I offer the girl a smile.
Ross comes over to me and uncorks the vial. "Nothing goes with drinking like a good story," he says and grins. "Tell me what happened in the other world. The one with Neptune." He takes the vial to his mouth and sips a bit. Looks like he wants more. He duplicates the potion and then looks at me, ready to listen.
I sigh. It's not a story I go back to with good memories. "Very well. Neptune was the Guardian of Water on a planet that has been long gone by now. Neptune was you. Every Guardian is immortal, they can die in one world but they'll always be present in the Universe, up until the point when Time consumes everything, every bit of matter and energy there is. That particular planet wasn't among the first planets to be able to support life, but it was among the first to use that opportunity and develop intelligent, self-aware life. Something similar to humans. As their technology advanced, they had less and less need for us, the Guardians. And then, they achieved the point where they could bend the laws of the Universe. They had, essentially, become gods, in a way. They had powers similar to ours, although they relied on their technology to produce those powers and to control those powers.
Many of the Guardians saw no problem with this, we watched over them and made sure they didn't get out of line. Some, however, felt contested. They felt as if those beings weren't made to control such powers, that it was not natural or right, at least that's what they said. I think a few were actually jealous of them, although I never understood why exactly. Anyhow, once we, the other Guardians found out what was going on, I mean, they were abducting the people and murdering them for achieving that level of technology, we decided to step in and make sure it stopped. Unfortunately, they were so blinded by their hatred that they didn't do what we asked them to do. They opened fire on us. Quite literally, actually. And we lost one of us. We lost you, Neptune.
After we gave you a good funeral, we went and put together a team to get rid of the rogue Guardians. They were too far gone to bring back, we needed to stop them on this particular planet. Permanently. But when we found them, we discovered the rogue Guardians lying on the ground, burnt, dead. The Guardian of Fire, one of the first to go rogue, had obviously killed them for some reason. He was just two miles away from that spot, and when we found him and tried to stop him, he went absolutely berserk. Fire started spewing everywhere, it was a bloody inferno. Not many of us got out alive, and that's when we decided to abandon the planet. It was a lost cause, the Guardian of Fire had done too much damage already and with you dead, we stood little chance to put the fire out and start over. The last thing we saw when we departed from the planet was flames engulfing it, the whole planet was ablaze. And that's the story," I finished and looked into Ross's eyes.

Guardian of Corruptioin
Cyra walked behind her group. A group consisting of the Guardians of Life, Hope, Death, and some ghostly girl. She wasn't certain about the Guardian of Hope though. He just mentioned his name... Although who names themselves Hope when they're another aspect. Maybe it's a trick. Or not. Was she overthinking this? Possible.She frowned. A trail of magic power was evident in this cave. Who was using this much power? Will this cause problems? Is this power going to benefit her? Possible.
What can use this much magic though? Another creature that is not a Guardian? Another creature that no one can name? A creature that she can manipulate and destroy? Possible.
Cyra smiled, pulled her hood further down, and followed her companions into the hole. Will this situation turn interesting?
Possible.
The story, for some strange reason, had a tint of familiarity in it, as though she had known it before. And as it ended, wide eyes hidden, she sat back, a little numb.
Opened fire?
They had opened fire?
... She didn't really know what to say about that.
Taking a soft breath, she shook off the slight numbness at that point. She'll think about it later- about why it felt like she had failed in stopping something.
"Well, you better come up with one, okay? Everyone has a name, how else will I know how to call you?"
She focused on that sentence, putting away her thoughts for later.
Make a name, huh?
What should she call herself, then?
She thought about it.
Softly, she muttered multiple possibilities.
"Alice, Eliza, Zoe, Naila..."
She shook her head.
They just don't seem right at the moment.
"Skye, Sora, Cielo, Taivas..."
... No, no, no...
They all sound nice, but they feel like they've been used before...
"Eiríni, Paix, Vrede..."
Maybe she was on the right track?
"... Hee... min..."
She blinked at that.
Himinn.
That was the Icelandic word for sky, wasn't it?
"Himinn..."
... It felt like... As if something was missing though.
A second name.
It just wouldn't be complete without a second name, right?
"Rauha..."
Rauha.
The Finnish word for peace.
"... For as long as I exist as a Guardian, I will always use the word 'peace' as my name."
Those words suddenly flashed by in her mind, like a faraway memory.
"And that is how you will know it's still me."
She smiled.
Satisfied, she looked up at Endal, and smiled.

It would still be able to make sense in the Roleplay without having to God Mod or Power Playing any other characters))

Remillia looked around at the group while they walked. She wondered if she would stay with them after they were finished here. An innocent girl, an introverted guy, a man that was also a boy, and an interesting hooded girl. She decided that it would be best for her goals if she got to know them all individually.
It seemed that the phoenix and the Guardian of Wind had gone on ahead by the looks of it, she thought. "We might wanna turn up the pace, the phoenix and the angel might've discovered something." She says, starting to jog. She really didn't need to jog, seeing as she was a spirit and all, but it would make them feel that she was like them in some way, and make them feel easier about interacting with her. She decided to start up a conversation with the first question that came to mind.
"Any theories on what happened on the previous planet and why we have lost our memory of it?"
((isn't your character meant to be like a year younger than me, oh god xD
also your drawings are really cute, i forgot to mention that))

Guardian of Corruption
Cyra looked up as the ghostly girl started jogging. Ghostly jogging? She asked the group a question. "I believe that the Guardian of Magic mentioned something about fire." Cyra replied, studying the walls of the cave. She quickened her footsteps to match her companions.

((Yes, but before I cast the Blizzard Beacon spell rune, I mentioned that the spell had not been tested.))
((It's moments like that when I allow others to alter the course of events I tried to create or to have one of my actions go wrong in some way, expected or not.
Considering I'm still underground at this point, sort of chasing the guardian of darkness, I'd not actually know if the final part of the spell had succeeded [[The final part being the 30 minute deactivation timer]], and could only know when it was designed to shut down.))

Ross just sits there and stares at the ground, taking in the words. He feels his blood run cold. He looks up and hears the other girl mumbling about a name, he had almost forgotten she was there. "Hmm...While we're on the subject of names, I still don't know yours. And one more question: Who all made it out of the last planet?"

The Guardians of Light and Flight
He looks at Alouette. „A beam of darkness shot through the skyline, darkening the entire sky. I lit it up with my powers but… I’m exhausted now. Furthermore,” He points towards where the cave is. „A cyan beam shot up and it started snowing.”
„That explains it… But who’s controlling the darkness? I imagine it was Catcocomics that created the snow, but…” she sighs, mumbling, „We aren’t all impervious to cold…” she shivers again and wraps her arms around herself.
He looks at her shivering. He puts his arm over her shoulders sharing his body warmth. „I know who did this darkness…”
„Who was it, then?” She looks up at him inquisitively.
He looks at her. „The guardian of darkness…”
„Oh.” She makes a face and laughs a little at herself. „Of course.”
He looks at her again. „Say. Everyone has a guardian with an element opposite to his… What do you think your opposite is?”
„I don’t know.” She thinks for a moment. „Would there be an opposite?”
„Hmm. I’m not sure.” he says, starting to shiver a bit himself.
„I don’t think I have an opposite, actually.” She says thoughtfully. „I don’t remember ever having one.”
„Maybe one will appear someday.” He is breathing heavily now. „I need to sit down for a second.” he says as he sits down on the ground.
„Are you alright?” she asks, worried. „Are you that tired just from trying to counter the darkness?”
He breathes heavily. „Shooting a huge beam into the sky takes some energy…” he coughs. „I’ll be alright.”
„Then how powerful does that make the Guardian of Darkness?” She looks back up at the sky and at the darkness sending cracks trough it.
He sighs in distress. „Out of my league…”
„That’s… Not good at all.” She looks shaken. „Nothing can really live under an eternal darkness… We’ve got to stop it.”
He shakes his head. „We can’t…” he looks up to her. „Just like last time.”
„Last time…?” She’s a little confused, but too distracted by concern to give it much thought. „I remember the last world ending in fire…” And she does, she realizes, it’s come back to her.
„Fire? No no no that’s not right. I remember darkness for some reason.”
„Maybe is was both.” She says decisively, now trying to avoid to look at the darkening sky. „We could ask the others when we see them again.”
„I think they went in that direction.” he says, pointing towards the cave’s general direction.
"Shall we go after them? We need to stick close to each other though. It's getting hard to see."
He stands up shivering. "Sure... Stay close..."
She looks at him and sees that he's at least as cold as she is. "I wonder when this snow's going to stop..." she says, and she starts walking to the cave.
He walks next to her "I don't know..." he says, careful not to lose sight of Alouette. "Snow's getting really thick..."
"I guess we'll have to ask Catco when we see him..." she makes sure not to lose sight of Light, even when she brushes the snow off of herself. "I think it might be Ross, but he quite literally 'freezes up' when cold. I doubt he'd do it on purpose."
The storm is getting thicker "I don't know. Maybe it was Catco..." he then looks behind him to find Alouette gone. "A-Alouette?"
"What!?" she hears him faintly but he's disappeared from sight. "Keep talking and we might be able to find each other!"
He can't hear her. "Shit shit shit" he starts waving his arms around trying to find her. "Alouette!"
"Light!?" she shouts, trying hard not to panic. "Light, can you hear me?" she can't hear Light anymore and it's getting hard not to panic. "Light! Are you there?" she yells, taking a step forward, trying to find him.
He gets an idea. He holds his palm up and a light appears in it. He shouts: "Alouette! Come to the light!"
She sees a flash cutting through the darkness. "Light! I'm coming!" she says, knowing he can't hear her, and walks towards the light.
He faintly hears a voice. "Alouette!" he quickly extends his arm and pulls her towards him. "I'm glad you're alright." he says, relieved.
"You too. You too," She half-sobs, and hugs him. "Let's not do that again. Ever..."
He's slightly surprised by the hug. He hugs her back and realises: "A-Alouette. You're really cold. You sure you're fine?"
"I-I think we're both really cold." she rubs her eyes. "I probably shouldn't have stood still... That didn't help at all."
"I-Its good you stood still. We could've lost each other. L-Let's keep moving." He grabs her hand and continues.
He sees a black mound. "Is that a cave?"
"I think it is!" Alouette looks up at him and grins. "We made it!"
He enters the cave "Jeez. It's dark." He holds his palm up creating another ball of light. The inside of the cave is barren.
"It's just getting darker..." She mumbles, looking around. "There's not much here, is there?"
He looks around a bit more. "I swear those people went this way."
"They're probably farther in, if we're that far behind them." She says, and sees an opening in the back of the cave. Pointing to it, she asks, "Shall we go that way?"
"Sure." he says, walking ahead slowly.
"This darkness feels... Wrong." She sticks close to Light. "It shouldn't be so evil."
"Above all. We're not here to destroy the darkness. We're here to reason and establish balance with it." He tilts his head. "But if he isn't to be reasoned with. Then I guess we'll just kick his arse." he chuckles.
"That's the best way to put it, I guess." She laughs. "I hope we'll be able to reason with him, though... That'll probably be better."
He looks at her again. "You warming up a little already?"
"A little. It's definitely warmer in here than it is outside." She looks down and then back up. "Is it any better for you?"
"A tiny bit." he says, walking further. He stops for a bit and looks back at her. "Were you worried about me back there?"
"How could I not be? Being lost in a snowstorm isn't exactly a walk in the park." She doesn't say that she was more worried about him than she was about herself.
He laughs. "Wouldn't you be worried more about yourself than about me at that point?"
„I’m not the one that almost died by falling into a hole." She reminds him, smiling mischeviously.
He looks at her "You're just going to keep bringing that up aren't you?"
"I don't have anything else to keep bringing up." She says, and tries not to laugh.
He's trying to keep a straight face. "So when you think about me. The first thing you think about is 'The guy that falls into holes a lot'?"
"Maybe~" She can't keep herself from laughing any longer, and she covers her mouth, her shoulders shaking.
He laughs. "That's not an answer."
"Of course it is!" She giggles. "Anything I said would have been an answer."
"Not in that way!" he looks at her again "Think about one thing that doesn't have to do with holes... Or light."
"That's a hard one." She teases him. "How about 'the first person I met on this planet'?"
"A hard one?" he throws his hands up in defeat. "Well, I guess that counts."
"Okay then, what's the first thing you think of when you think of me?" She pauses for a moment before continuing, "And nothing about flying or wings."
He stops and thinks. He's speechless. He stands still for around a minute "Um..." He starts stuttering nervously "I-I can't think of anything."
She raises her eyebrows. "You stuttered." she says, and looks at him mischeviously. "Are you sure?"
He starts sweating a bit, looking the other way. "I'm sure."
She crosses her arms. "I don't think you are."
"Why do you think that?"
"You're acting nervous." She says in a sing-song tone.
He mumbles something incomprehensible and starts walking again.
She hurries to keep up with him. "I couldn't hear you."
He mumbles something: "pbl mm s fr" is all she can hear.
"You seem to think I have ears like a bat." She goes back to teasing him, trying to release the tension.
He yells. "You're the best friend i've had so far. Happy now?"
She stops short, startled. "R...Really? But there are so many others..."
"Well. I haven't spoken to them. Or I didn't really talk that much to them... You're kind of the only person I can put up with for longer than 10 minutes and not get annoyed or bored.”
"Thanks..." She mumbles, and continues under her breath, "That's kinda sweet..."
He looks down at the floor "...Y-Yeah..."
"If it helps... You've been a good friend too..." Her voice is low but still audible, and she stares at her feet.
"How? I haven't done anything to help you." He starts walking again, slowly.
"But you've been there for me this whole time. If I hadn't met you I'd probably still be hovering and wondering what to do." She says with conviction, staring hard at him. "Don't even go there."
"Hmmm. I guess so..." he says, walking further. He then stops abruptly.„Hey… Do you hear voices?”
"I think so." She says, smiling. "Do you think that's the others?”
"It sounds like the frost phoenix and someone else... They're running though."
"Maybe we'll be able to catch them." She follows him quickly, a bit faster now than earlier.
He walks torwards the sound. He looks up. "There's a crack in the ceiling.”
"A crack?" She looks up and sees it. "Let's hope it's stable..."
He point his fist at the ground; His elbow torwards the crack. "I'm going to break it."
"What? Why?" She looks at him, surprised.
"So we can..." he hits his elbow hard against the crack. "...Meet up..." he repeats two times. "With them"
"They're above us?" She listens harder, and she can tell that they are.
He hits the crack another time and it breaks. His elbow is damaged and some blood drips out of it. He sticks his head and his arm above the crack to light up the cave, but all he sees is the foot of a certain guardian of darkness kicking him against his face.

He stands up shivering. "Sure... Stay close..."
She looks at him and sees that he's at least as cold as she is. "I wonder when this snow's going to stop..." she says, and she starts walking to the cave.
He walks next to her "I don't know..." he says, careful not to lose sight of Alouette. "Snow's getting really thick..."
"I guess we'll have to ask Catco when we see him..." she makes sure not to lose sight of Light, even when she brushes the snow off of herself. "I think it might be Ross, but he quite literally 'freezes up' when cold. I doubt he'd do it on purpose."
The storm is getting thicker "I don't know. Maybe it was Catco..." he then looks behind him to find Alouette gone. "A-Alouette?"
"What!?" she hears him faintly but he's disappeared from sight. "Keep talking and we might be able to find each other!"
He can't hear her. "Shit shit shit" he starts waving his arms around trying to find her. "Alouette!"
"Light!?" she shouts, trying hard not to panic. "Light, can you hear me?" she can't hear Light anymore and it's getting hard not to panic. "Light! Are you there?" she yells, taking a step forward, trying to find him.
He gets an idea. He holds his palm up and a light appears in it. He shouts: "Alouette! Come to the light!"
She sees a flash cutting through the darkness. "Light! I'm coming!" she says, knowing he can't hear her, and walks towards the light.
He faintly hears a voice. "Alouette!" he quickly extends his arm and pulls her towards him. "I'm glad you're alright." he says, relieved.
"You too. You too," She half-sobs, and hugs him. "Let's not do that again. Ever..."
He's slightly surprised by the hug. He hugs her back and realises: "A-Alouette. You're really cold. You sure you're fine?"
"I-I think we're both really cold." she rubs her eyes. "I probably shouldn't have stood still... That didn't help at all."
"I-Its good you stood still. We could've lost each other. L-Let's keep moving." He grabs her hand and continues.
He sees a black mound. "Is that a cave?"
"I think it is!" Alouette looks up at him and grins. "We made it!"
He enters the cave "Jeez. It's dark." He holds his palm up creating another ball of light. The inside of the cave is barren.
"It's just getting darker..." She mumbles, looking around. "There's not much here, is there?"
He looks around a bit more. "I swear those people went this way."
"They're probably farther in, if we're that far behind them." She says, and sees an opening in the back of the cave. Pointing to it, she asks, "Shall we go that way?"
"Sure." he says, walking ahead slowly.
"This darkness feels... Wrong." She sticks close to Light. "It shouldn't be so evil."
"Above all. We're not here to destroy the darkness. We're here to reason and establish balance with it." He tilts his head. "But if he isn't to be reasoned with. Then I guess we'll just kick his arse." he chuckles.
"That's the best way to put it, I guess." She laughs. "I hope we'll be able to reason with him, though... That'll probably be better."
He looks at her again. "You warming up a little already?"
"A little. It's definitely warmer in here than it is outside." She looks down and then back up. "Is it any better for you?"
"A tiny bit." he says, walking further. He stops for a bit and looks back at her. "Were you worried about me back there?"
"How could I not be? Being lost in a snowstorm isn't exactly a walk in the park." She doesn't say that she was more worried about him than she was about herself.
He laughs. "Wouldn't you be worried more about yourself than about me at that point?"
„I’m not the one that almost died by falling into a hole." She reminds him, smiling mischeviously.
He looks at her "You're just going to keep bringing that up aren't you?"
"I don't have anything else to keep bringing up." She says, and tries not to laugh.
He's trying to keep a straight face. "So when you think about me. The first thing you think about is 'The guy that falls into holes a lot'?"
"Maybe~" She can't keep herself from laughing any longer, and she covers her mouth, her shoulders shaking.
He laughs. "That's not an answer."
"Of course it is!" She giggles. "Anything I said would have been an answer."
"Not in that way!" he looks at her again "Think about one thing that doesn't have to do with holes... Or light."
"That's a hard one." She teases him. "How about 'the first person I met on this planet'?"
"A hard one?" he throws his hands up in defeat. "Well, I guess that counts."
"Okay then, what's the first thing you think of when you think of me?" She pauses for a moment before continuing, "And nothing about flying or wings."
He stops and thinks. He's speechless. He stands still for around a minute "Um..." He starts stuttering nervously "I-I can't think of anything."
She raises her eyebrows. "You stuttered." she says, and looks at him mischeviously. "Are you sure?"
He starts sweating a bit, looking the other way. "I'm sure."
She crosses her arms. "I don't think you are."
"Why do you think that?"
"You're acting nervous." She says in a sing-song tone.
He mumbles something incomprehensible and starts walking again.
She hurries to keep up with him. "I couldn't hear you."
He mumbles something: "pbl mm s fr" is all she can hear.
"You seem to think I have ears like a bat." She goes back to teasing him, trying to release the tension.
He yells. "You're the best friend i've had so far. Happy now?"
She stops short, startled. "R...Really? But there are so many others..."
"Well. I haven't spoken to them. Or I didn't really talk that much to them... You're kind of the only person I can put up with for longer than 10 minutes and not get annoyed or bored.”
"Thanks..." She mumbles, and continues under her breath, "That's kinda sweet..."
He looks down at the floor "...Y-Yeah..."
"If it helps... You've been a good friend too..." Her voice is low but still audible, and she stares at her feet.
"How? I haven't done anything to help you." He starts walking again, slowly.
"But you've been there for me this whole time. If I hadn't met you I'd probably still be hovering and wondering what to do." She says with conviction, staring hard at him. "Don't even go there."
"Hmmm. I guess so..." he says, walking further. He then stops abruptly.„Hey… Do you hear voices?”
"I think so." She says, smiling. "Do you think that's the others?”
"It sounds like the frost phoenix and someone else... They're running though."
"Maybe we'll be able to catch them." She follows him quickly, a bit faster now than earlier.
He walks torwards the sound. He looks up. "There's a crack in the ceiling.”
"A crack?" She looks up and sees it. "Let's hope it's stable..."
He point his fist at the ground; His elbow torwards the crack. "I'm going to break it."
"What? Why?" She looks at him, surprised.
"So we can..." he hits his elbow hard against the crack. "...Meet up..." he repeats two times. "With them"
"They're above us?" She listens harder, and she can tell that they are.
He hits the crack another time and it breaks. His elbow is damaged and some blood drips out of it. He sticks his head and his arm above the crack to light up the cave, but all he sees is the foot of a certain guardian of darkness kicking him against his face.

As they reach the humanoid, Catcocomics is able to make out a head come out of the floor near the other person, and watches as the first humanoid kicks the head.
"What the- well, nice of them to cause some sound so I can see them more clearly against this silence... hang on, is that light coming from that one person's hand? We need to go faster! I think someone go to the author of the darkness spell before us, Airis!"
Catcocomics accelerates and reaches the two opposite guardians. Knowing that he had to go too fast for Airis to keep up in order to reach the guardians of light and darkness, Catcocomics draws his sword hilt in preparation for combat.
Catcocoics' eyes shimmer again, as he reverts to light vision, and reignites his right hand with frost fire.
"I know my kind identify me as a sort of healer and all, but I just want to let you both know that I haven't the capability to heal physical injuries, so I suggest that which ever of you is kicking the other in the face to stop now, and both of you to listen!"

All though I do not address Alouette, it is possible for her to hear me arrive.))
