"Yes... I-It's so strange..." She mutters, seeming deep in thought about something. Who would benefit from pulling out chunks of her domain into this world? It seemed quite pointless, as she was pretty much the only one who would benefit from it, unless someone wanted to make the world dark and terrifying... She murmurs something quietly, and then quickly shakes her head.
((also fiesta instead of double posting it would be better to edit your posts :3))
Agghhh! She was thinking about abusing her powers! She almost yelled out in outrage. How could SHE, the Guardian of the Nether, fall to such thoughts?!
Ross continued drifting leisurely through the water. The drifting turns to floating, and Ross starts to relax. He sighed in his contentedness, "I guess this is my reward for refilling the lake." He falls asleep and has another dream, a much more pleasant one than the first.
He sees himself and another man, one he assumes is a Guardian. Ross can't make note of much other than his eyes, such is the way of dreams. Those eyes- a striking crimson color- almost reminiscent of....fire....Was this other man the Guardian of Fire? But how was this possible? They seemed to be on such good terms...He hardly seemed like someone who would destroy a planet- But he did....He destroyed the planet and killed nearly everyone on it...including Neptune...
Ross wakes with a start, and tries to decipher his dream. "The two were sitting together...cooperating...laughing with each other....Were Neptune and Pyro once...Friends? Wait...That wasn't Neptune....That was..me...Endal doesn't need to know about this dream...I know enough. Perhaps, though, I should find this Guardian of Fire and apologize for my outburst at his arrival...."
During his self-assigned chore, Ross noticed a path in the snow that seemed to be melted, he figured that was his best bet at finding Pyro. He returned to his corporeal form near the trail, and ran in pursuit of Pyro.
Guardian of Light
He starts walking again "I don't have much time to talk to you. I have to find this guardian of magic quickly. If you got shit to talk about. Walk with me. There's not much time to lose." he says as he starts walking again. Partially ignoring Death.

((I made this little thing. Probs incorrect but okay))
Guardian of Life "Yes, I know him - he's Light," I reply, frowning at the slight rudeness of Light. I understand that he's in a hurry but there is no reason to be rude. I rub my eyes and notice Remilia, flickering and weak on his back.
"I- is she okay?" I ask timidly, reaching out but pulling my hand back without touching her.
Guardian of Light He keeps walking "She'll be fine." he says. He suddenly stops "Wait. How do you... How do you know my name?" he asks surprised. He doesn't remember ever announcing his name to anyone other than Alouette.
Guardian of Light "Hmm. Considering you only said Light i assumed you knew my name..." he sighs "Sorry but we need to hurry." says slowly starting to walk again.
((@Timdood3 saying that Fauna was on the same trial as you to the Fire Guardian was inconsistent))
((This map is as accurate as possible. As always correct if needed.))
((I would also like to talk seriously about @Catcocomics's Character's unlimited resource of energy and power. So far what we have had is serious alteration of weather patterns, hyper sonic speed travel, instant healing snow, and rune powered stones that are basically walkie talkies. Including already innate powers such as never needing to breath, wings, sonic vision and whatever else I may have missed. The point is, your character has literally become a trump card. Equivalent of a lazy way to fix things and completely change all purposes of conflict within a plot/story.))
((I highly suggest, Catcocomics, that you fix this. Your character is entirely too strong and for all intent purposes seems to be able to achieve unreasonable [[depending on how you look at it]] "fixes" to issues. Your introduction post did not include all the selective powers your Character would have so we could scrutinize them so you've been placing them in the Roleplay as your Character progresses. You've also implied you intend to add more. That does not bode well. The purpose [[at least I'd hope not for anyone]] is not to instantly create Character's that can fix any problem on the fly. Not without negative ramifications or just plain they can't do it. Character's are more compelling when they have flaws and you/an audience sees them grow. There are three ways this can be amended without severely altering the past story plotline.))
One, is that your Character becomes significantly weaker. Significantly here means even worse than the lowest tier Guardian in the Roleplay.
Second, the beginning of each world has a massive amount of power for Guardians and beings to use. As the world ages the magic dissipates or there becomes less and less of it. Meaning your Character will have less of it.
Three, your Character becomes incapacitated somehow by either methods of maiming or your Character dies. [[Which is best scenario]]To which then, you will create a new Character that will not be an overpowered Character and will stand below the other Guardian's powers.
((Remember: as Faliara said, "this role is not a Guardian role." You are playing more than the role you were expected to play.))
((To recap; I am unsatisfied with the rate of your Character's continued power expansion, to the point it's either equal or above a Guardian's powers. You are in the process of creating a Character that will be the "quick fix" or the trump card of any plot conflict. That is not what I, and hopefully no one else, desires to have happen. Amend your Character's constant God Modding with one of the three aforementioned solutions above.))
(( First off I'd like to say this will be a pretty large post so I hope I'm not jumping on too many people's toes and if I am. Feel free to let me know and I'll try to edit whatever you find issue with ))
The Guardian of Fire sees the cave in the distance and begins to immediately pick up the pace to get their and help defend his friends. He however in his hurry did not see the massive boulder coming straight at him. It barely misses him but still knocks him down just by the force of how strong the force behind it was.
As The Guardian of Fire lies on the ground.. He begins to feel something returning to him... something he knew but something he never wanted to meet again.
"Hello Pyro" whispered the voice in his head.
"Who are you?! And how are you-" I scream in pain as the as the voice seems to stab my body with thousands of needles and I begin to feel my power begin to drain from my body and my consciousness being forced farther back in my mind.. I scream in pain as the leech slowly begins to possess my body and all too late I remember what this leech is...
A Fire Demon, most likely the last after I melted all the others with a massive wave of power when I burned the planet.. I had hoped that would've killed them all...
"Oh silly, silly pyro. You may have killed my brothers and sisters but I survived. I waited until you were weak. And now as you destroyed my brothers and sisters.. I will destroy yours. If these Guardians were weak enough to let you burn down their entire planet then I'm sure they won't mind if I just finish the job." the Demon taunts me.
I continue to scream and attempt to melt my body in hopes of killing myself and the Demon but the Demon is too powerful from absorbing my own power and all it seems to do is give it more power.. I slowly lose control of my own body and am stuck in my mind where all I can do is watch as the Fire Demon will attempt to destroy my friends.
I hope in my own foolishness just doomed an entire planet to what happened last time... As I rest in the back of my mind. I begin to remember things of old. Things I never wished to remember. Most likely an attempt by the Fire Demon to force me out and finally control all my powers but I will brave these memories. For what can memories do? They're in the past and nothing more...
Memory.
(( This will be most likely the part that will step on some people's toes. As I said at the beginning. If you find issue with it then please bring it up with me. ))
I remember, in the old days, back when Neptune and I would feast until the evening hours in places between our realms and we would party until the new dawn and I then remember Neptune complaining about how some volcanoes on the southern tip of the planet were imploding constantly and beginning to pour into his realm and harm the waters. He was planning for himself to go and destroy whatever was causing these volcano explosions but I begged him for this opportunity to show him my appreciation for what a good friend he had been so he agreed. The memory begins to fast-forward to where I am at the volcanoes and overlooking the mass destruction that they had caused. Whatever the creature or creatures were. They were obviously powerful to cause this and I hoped I had the power to destroy them. As I began my descent into the main volcano. I felt presences near me and then I feel, in the memory, thousands of needles all over my body. All of them at once trying to drain my powers. Trying to possess my body. I begin to scream and fight back the monsters whom I now recognize as the Fire Demons, a race of Demons that can drain the powers of their respective Guardian. Dangerous and near impossible to defeat by their respective Guardian but very weak to other Guardians. My first thought in the memory was that this was somehow a trap set by the Water Guardian to destroy me but as the Demons begin to whisper to me.. telling me how they would destroy everything I cared for. Everyone I loved. My family. I knew I could not allow them to take me. I would not be the Guardian of who failed his people. So in hopes of burning these demons.
I summoned the power in the volcanoes and whatever power I had left and blew my powers all around me as far as I could but my powers... had an unintended effect. instead of just burning the demons. It popped them. Releasing my power back into me so the explosion grew until I could no longer control it... It was this explosion that burned the planet. It was my own foolishness to want to impress my friends that also killed them. It was my own powers that burned all the ones I loved long ago...
BACK TO ME
Released of the memory. I begin to break down. I cry over those I lost... and as I cried. I remembered not all was lost. My brothers and sisters were alive and I could save them this time. I will not allow this demon to destroy the one thing I have left in this cursed world. I will somehow fight this demon and save my family from myself this time. I will not fail.
(( I also suck at writing so if you notice anything wrong also feel free to let me know about that too. thanks. ))
((@Trap_Wolf I am on the same path as Std, so in between Fire and Water on the map \o/))
((EDIT just to not post a one liner OOC and then post another story one))
Whilst trekking down the sludgy path Fauna sees smoke in the distance - he was getting closer to this person! Excited by the thought of life since, although he liked solitude, being alone for ages does leave you a bit bored and miss others, Fauna ran towards it but stood at a halt. Was it safe? Surely it was, nobody on this world had been evil so far... well, at least from what he thought. However something was telling Fauna to not get close and he felt the emerald ring squeeze upon his finger... a reaction at last? 'Well if the ring doesn't want me to go then I gu-' Suddenly there is a thud in the distance and the smoke dies down, filled with curiosity Fauna rushed forward where he sees the man of fire talking to himself and looking as if he was in pain. Not caring about what his ring wanted him to do or not do, the guardian hurried over to the other, enduring the pain the ring gave him.
In a few moments Fauna had reached the man and attempted to be friendly "Hello there good citizen, how may I help you today? Er... nevermind. Your name? What's wrong?"
Blunt and straight the point, this is the way Fauna liked it... or was it anymore.
((@Trap_Wolf, From what I've seen of your last post, It really does look like my character may be too powerful, or too 'flawless'. The blizzard beacon was only designed to last for 30 minutes [[More than 30 have passed by since then]], and all though it was modified to heal magical injuries, it has absolutely no effect on any one physically injured [[Physical injuries will include injuries of magical origin that deal physical damage]], and is thus only good at slowly undoing things like magic taint or full mind control. As for the hyper sonic speeds thing, I thought It was clear that I had been going many times faster than light in the beginning part, and collided with the planet as a consequence of simply going too fast. The runes, I thought I had made clear were simply translators that could be rewritten to track their creator, until most of you just assumed they were magical versions of walky-talkies, possibly because I had said anything regarding communication. The runes do not allow for long-ranged communication, their only function is to translate phoenix runes; the language of the phoenixes, which only exists as a written language. As for Catcocomics the frost phoenix simply being a fix-it-god-guy, how would the blizzard beacon malfunction, how would he not have sufficient reflexes to completely avoid crashing into the planet in the first place? And has time goes on, more weaknesses shall be revealed, just as the strengths. Already, Catcocomics is having to face some one possibly astronomically more powerful than him without access to star light, something that he tries to avoid dues to the fact the phoenixes are "star born", meaning that they rely mostly on the power of stars to use their magic, though with the darkness cloak, Catcocomics is already drained of star charge, or stored star power, and will not be able to cast magic to his full effectiveness. I also posted that bludgeoning weapons and fire magic are really effective against him, and may knock him out in a single hit. Yes, Catcocomics the frost phoenix may have triumphed a bit so far, but seeing as he hasn't even identified half the guardians, despite telepathic powers, how he hasn't immediately given the planet some invincibility field, or that he was incapacitated by his arrival indicates that he is not a god. As I have mentioned before, Catcocomics has a bladeless sword hilt, if you don't want me to show you in a way that is more like opening a present than this, read the spoiler.
Catcocomics creates a blade made of ice whenever he uses the sword hilt, effectively creating an ice sword when he does so, since the blade is created already in the sword. How ever, the blade, despite it's apparent sharpness, is unable to cut living organisms, or even thick ropes.
I know the ability to have 3 different visions may come to be seen as over powered, but did I not say that sonic vision is only really useful when in dark places, and that simply talking is like shining a flashlight in your own eyes? sonic vision may allow the user to see sound waves as they flash by in a blink, but the ability isn't even convenient, since speech alone can briefly blind, and possibly distract those using this vision. So, as a sort of sum up, Catcocomics' powerful abilities are either inconvenient and may cause unwanted distractions to himself, they have a tendency the screw up badly, or they simply can't be used without sufficient star charge. And if that isn't enough, Catcocomics has put various further limits upon himself, such as combat-magic that is designed only to subdue, and never kill, or that he will incapacitate himself if his powers are used for any form of evil. Still, you can knock him out just by punching him in the head, if you're not a child. This character is more of a puzzle solver and simply one of intelligence, he's not going to be able to defeat any of the guardians without assistance, even with star charge.
(( @Trap_Wolf Thank you for keeping us updated! I am sure we all can agree that we would be relatively lost without your maps and updates! Also, I am just out in the wilderness, somewhere, probably not very far from the rest of the guardians in the cave. ))
*After not being able to keep up with the Frost Phoenix, Airis keeps flying around 1 hour by himself*
"Just darkness... It seems I can't find anything or anyone"
"Oh wait! I think I can hear voices!"
*Airis flies a little bit faster to approach that sound*
"It's a group of people! Finally, good to know I'm not alone in here. Huh? A portal? What's that about?"
*Airis flies towards them, landing on his feet behind them*
"Hey there"
*They all turn around. He noticed Remilia and Death, which he has talked to them before already. And the other 5 he saw them before back in the crater but haven't had the chance to speak to them*
"Hey everyone. It's nice to finally run into some people. My name is Airis, the Guardian of Wind"
((catco, I really don't want your magic snow to heal magic taint, because it'd completely ruin the plot point for my character; I was aiming for 'only the guardian of magic is able to heal magic taint' as magic taint is powerful affliction that affects the soul itself if you allow it to grow.
will actually respond to the thread in the morning, but for now you get this))
((catco, I really don't want your magic snow to heal magic taint, because it'd completely ruin the plot point for my character; I was aiming for 'only the guardian of magic is able to heal magic taint'
((Magic taint comes from a different form of magic than Phoenix magic, and there fore, Phoenix magic would not be able to undo it, since the different magic types are incompatible. This means the snow doesn't recognize the magic taint as a threat, though I was able to heal the guardian of light because I had "told" the snow to target anything of darkness element, an element shared by both types of magic, thus the darkness attack was compatible with phoenix magic. Incase the statement of telling the snow to 'target anything of darkness element' throws some people off, the snow will not damage anything, regardless of element, mostly because Catcocomics is not advanced enough to make a massive area of effect spell that could cause damage.))
((std, that backstory between us is eerily similar to the backstory between Aether and Nether that Kylie and I came up with....I like it..except for the part where I died ofc ._ . ))
((And Trap, it shouldn't be snowing anymore? It should have stopped at the lake at least...the lake that is now full, not filling <3 ))

"I've been trudging through this trail of slush for a while now....how far did Pyro- Wait...Pyro? Did Endal ever mention his name? I don't think he did, yet Pyro feels right...Anyway, how far could he have gone? I must be getting close."
The effects of his drink are starting to wear off, and he starts getting cold again. He starts to shiver and picks up the pace to stimulate his blood flow. "If pass out all the way out here, I'm a goner for sure..." He hears a scream just a short ways ahead of him, and he goes from jogging to sprinting.
He arrives at the site of the scream to find not one Guardian, but two. "Pyro! Fauna!" He makes his presence known, and kneels down over pyro. He feels his temperature rise, but it's counteracted by the snow.
He didn't know where the feeling came from, but Ross felt like this had happened to Pyro before.....But what exactly was it that happened? Without quite knowing what he was doing or what exactly was wrong with Pyro, he told Fauna to stand back. The beast man complied.
Ross placed one hand on the unconscious Pyro's forehead, and the other on his chest. Ross focuses his energy, and A scream escapes Pyro. Somehow, Ross knew he was not hurting Pyro, despite Fauna's claims otherwise. Soon after, a small being made completely of fire exits Pyro's body and tries to escape the grasp of the water that it knew would be its end, but it is futile. A stream of water puts an end to the demon. Ross, exhausted, falls backwards into the snow.
"Hey, well at least I can't feel that embarrassed anymore for passing out." Fauna says whilst going to tend to Ross. Pyro? He presumed this was the man of fire's name. What about that small being which Ross defeated? Never had seen anything like it in his life(s). For some reason after that the ring was more at ease, almost as if it knew that the fire creature was there... but how? The Guardian didn't care all that much right now, he guessed he should repay Ross for helping him when he passed out so he went on to focus all attention on that.
