Strong Hooves 289 February 18, 2012 Author Share February 18, 2012 A solemn look came over his face as he was asked this, "No... I had to escape... on my own... after you left me to die..." his eyes were pained, the scar that was left by her still deep, "Why did you leave me?"

Linguz 140 February 18, 2012 Share February 18, 2012 "I knew I couldn't take her on my own... so I broke off all connections and left, hoping that she would stop hurting you since it wouldn't make me despair anymore. Guess it didn't work. Unfortunately, that has made me actually doubt something..." She rolled over so she was facing him. "Particularly... I need some way to know that you won't die."

Strong Hooves 289 February 18, 2012 Author Share February 18, 2012 (edited) Cloud raised an eyebrow at what she said, "And what exactley do you need so you know for sure?" Edited February 18, 2012 by Strong Hooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Hooves 289 February 18, 2012 Author Share February 18, 2012 Cloud didnt know of what to say, but he felt his heart opening up once more, "Perhaps... this will help..." he leaned over to her, kissing her softly as he did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linguz 140 February 18, 2012 Share February 18, 2012 Nidal broke out of the kiss rather soon an rolled over again so she was laying on her back. "Not by much. I'm still not sure if you will be able to save me from my life or not. I don't think I'll ever be sure..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 18, 2012 Author Share February 18, 2012 Cloud rolled over to face her, "Then what can I do to promise you... that no matter what happens... I will unwaveringly promise to you that I will do my best to stay alive, I want to save you Nidal... and I want us to be together... you want that too... right?"

Linguz 140 February 18, 2012 Share February 18, 2012 "I don't know anymore. I think I do... and I want to believe I do... but I'm just not sure. The problem is that no matter what you say, you can still die... which would remove your promise." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 18, 2012 Author Share February 18, 2012 (edited) "Well then let me promise you this Nidal... I promise... that whatever I can do within my power to stay alive, I will do it. If it means making myself more physically capable, then I will, If it means to retreat from a fight, I will. I know I cannot swear that I wont die, because I would be lying, but I can swear that whatever chance I get to avoid risking my life, I will take it". Cloud knew it was a long shot, he had lost Nidal's trust and her faith in him to the point that perhaps... she didnt love him anymore... he cast away these thoughts, he couldnt think like that, all he could do now was try his best to regain her faith, that perhaps during this process he can regain her heart...

Linguz 140 February 18, 2012 Share February 18, 2012 "But even then, you have to throw yourself into dangerous situations to help me. There is, quite literally, no way for you to do both your promise to stay away from danger and your promise to save me. I want to believe that you won't die but... even I was helpless against Despair! I can't fight her one-on-one because she'd just grab you, and I'd be powerless. Go get the element. Get it quickly and then send me a signal when you're far away enough. A flare, a beam, anything that I'll be able to see from anywhere." With that, she rolled over again and took to the air. She began to look around the town for Despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Cloud stood up and watched until Nidal was out of site, then trotted off to the rest of the group, I wont let you down Nidal... not again... He found Crystal and the rest of the group where he left them. With a look of new determination, he called out firmly, "Lets get moving everypony, we got an element to find"...

Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 Crystal nodded and went up to Cloud. "I told you, didn't I? You have to talk to someone one-on-one before you can decide one way or another about a situation. So where is she?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Cloud looked to Crystal, "Nidal is going to keep Despair busy while we get the element, once we find it, we leave the city, but not until we find something to signal her with to tell her we made it out ok" he then looked to the ground, "You... were right but... she is... different now... and Im not sure how to get the old her back" Cloud shook his head, then turned to lead the group into the city... ... meanwhile, Somber had come to and was now wandering boredly around the city, looking for another victim, "To bad I didnt get long to play with that other pony... Niddy dropped him pretty quick" she then smiled to herself, "Oh the pain that colt must've felt... it was quite delicious" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 Crystal shrugged, not knowing how different Nidal had become. "I'm sure you'll be able to get her back to normal." She began to follow Cloud. Nidal spotted Somber a bit offset from her position and on the ground. She sped up into the sky before flipping around and blasting her way towards Somber. As she approached, she flipped around so her hooves were poised to strike her first. ((This would shatter Nidal and most likely Somber if it hits, which is exactly what she wants, seeing as that gives the main group time as their entire bodies reform.))

Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Cloud shook his head, "You dont understand... its like her faith in me was shattered when Despair attacked... she doesnt even know for sure now that she still even wants us to be together... Im not sure she even... loves me anymore" Cloud continued to walk as he said this, his ears pinned to the back of his head and his wings drooping slightly, but still walked on at a steady pace... Somber continued to walk, she noticed a shadow on the ground that became rapidly bigger, she looked up and her eyes widened, "Oh shi-" but her sentence was cut short as Nidal hit her with a sickening impact...

Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 "Well, she's going to keep Despair busy for us, right? Why would she do that if she didn't love you? After all, think of who she is..." She didn't say who Nidal was to keep it a secret from the rest of the group, as she wanted. Nidal felt Somber break under her hooves moments before she felt herself shatter. Her greed crystal flew further than the mess that were Nidal and Somber. Her skeleton began to reform right there, simply the skeleton and not any muscle or skin or organs or anything else. All the ponies around obviously began to scatter, as seeing a skeleton being reformed is a frightening sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Cloud managed a small chuckle, "Guess that would make it hard for her to let go huh? I guess you're right Crystal... thanks" he smiled at the mare before continuing to walk onward. The group had finally come across a chapel that was in the center of the city, broken and worn just like the others before. Cloud opened the door, seeing the door as expected at the end of the room, "Lets do this" said Cloud... The healing process was slow, the amount of damage caused by Nidal was beyond belief. As Somber's vocal cords and facial muscles finally began to regenerate, she tried to say, "You bitch" to Nidal, but it sounded garbled and airy, and looked quite frightneing as well...

Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 Crystal felt that he hadn't gotten the point of what she had said, but it still worked. I had meant that she never does anything without some gain on her end. Fighting Somber only gives us time, which means she still hopes we can do it. She followed Cloud to the chapel and began to walk down it. "So which element was here?" Nidal's skeleton finished reforming and her muscles commenced. Once the muscles were done, a small smirk could be seen on her face while her skin was made. Since she had waited for everything but her skin, her voice was fine. "That's what you get for messing with the lives of others to such a degree." She was in great pain as her body fixed itself, but she didn't mind it as long as she knew Somber was feeling it too.

Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 "Others? Or a certain one?" jeered Somber, her newly regenerated face twisted in pain, "You've always been a bitch Niddy... even when you had nothing to lose!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 "Especially when I have nothing to lose, you mean. And both. A certain one is what incited me to do this, but you still mess with the lives of others, not that I care about them." Her face and skin finished reforming and she tossed her head back as her tail and mane returned. "Will you try to run or stay and fight?" She drew her rapier from inside of her and got ready her four daggers to pull out whenever she needed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Somber sneered, "Ive always wanted to kick your sorry little flank!" she then stood, many tendrils erputing from her body as she prepared to fight... "We are looking for Kindness" replied Cloud, "Seems right up your alley Crystal". The group approached the door, the ghostly figure to appear was an adorable little yellow pegasus with a long pink mane and tail, "My name is Fluttershy, I was the bearer of the Element of Kindness" she said in a quiet, nervous sounding voice, "Please approach so that you may answer my questions... if thats ok with you that is..."

Linguz 140 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 Nidal dashed forward, using her daggers to reflect any of the tendrils, and attempted to impale Despair. Crystal nodded and walked up to the ghost. "Hello Fluttershy. I am called Crystal Seal, and it seems that I'm thought to be the new bearer of the Element of Kindness. You sound nervous; would you prefer for us to be talking alone? I can put up a shield that stops sound from escaping or coming in, if that's what you'd like."

Strong Hooves 289 February 19, 2012 Author Share February 19, 2012 Somber kept backing up, using her tendrils to lash at Nidal as she continued to advance... "Oh no it is very much alright" said Fluttershy as she made a small smile, "Such good manners, havent seen that in a while... Now you must answer three questions, One, what would you do for a pony in need of help? Two, if you saw a hungry pony, but you only had enough food for yourself, what would you do? And three, are you one to resort to violence first, or find another way to resolve an issue?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 February 19, 2012 Share February 19, 2012 (edited) (I think the reason people don't post here is that it's kind of awkward interrupting when you two rp so much with each other :S) "Hey, back off!" snapped Ampyrion, eyeing the unfamiliar Somber warily. He knew that he couldn't really do much in an arid environment like this, but two was still better than one. He hoped. He reached into his pack for a weapon. He found an old sword lying at the bottom of the packsack that he pulled out and gripped with his teeth. I have no idea how to use this. (Yeah I know, I wasn't attacking you guys for your post frequency, just commenting on what it looked like to me) Ampyrion waved his tail impatiently, waiting for one of the group members to come up and respond.
