Description
My plans were set, and I was ready to go. Only one thing was left to do and that was to tell my brother about what I was planning....He didn't take it well.
"Seika, are you crazy!? This could be a suicide mission!"
"Doesn't matter, I'm still going."
"Why?! No one's making you! You don't have to do this. What if they find out who you really are and why you're there? They'll kill you!"
"That's a risk I'm willing to take.."
"Then you're an idiot! And what about your friends? Do they know about what you're doing?"
"....Not sure...Ghebaas knows, or at least suspects what I'm doing...He's going to try to keep my absence from being noticed as long as he can."
"He's actually helping you do this!?"
"Yes."
"You can't beat an army on your own! You're risking death just because your stupid pride has been hurt!"
I whirled around and grabbed the front of his shirt, yanking him down to eye level. I stared at my brother with hard, angry eyes and said angrily.
"Yes! I'm doing this for my pride! I've spent my whole life trying to convince my people I'm just as good as they are! And just when I thought I'd done that, it was all taken away from me be a band of half-witted renegades! I'm not going to sit back and do nothing! Can you honestly say that your people haven't been treating you differently since the Nameless started this war?"
He looked off to one side, avoiding looking into my eyes.
"I-It hasn't been that bad....Sure a few people have said things, or given me dirty looks. But most people don't seem to care...It isn't a big deal..."
"Maybe not to you, but it is to me. You're a pacifist, I'm not. You've been trained to heal, I've been trained to fight. We may be twins, but we are not the same. You follow your path, brother....And I'll follow mine...."
I let go of him and starting walking off. I'd said what I came to say, and I saw no point in hanging around. I had been walking for a while when I heard him calling after me.
"Wait! Seika, wait!"
I stopped and turned to see him running toward me.
"What is it?"
"If you are going, then I am too!"
"Why? You said this could be a suicide mission."
"I did, but even if it is a suicide mission....You're still my sister....And I won't let you go alone."
My eyes softened slightly.
"Let's go then."
_______________________________________________________________________
Yay for really short stories!!
As for what mission Seika and Zephyr are undertaking....That is a secret. ;3
I won't say much more, except that they left without their leaders' permission, and without really telling anyone where they going or what they are planning. So...they will probably be in trouble whenever people start noticing they are gone. X3
What happens next? Well....you'll just have to wait and see.
And I'd like Zephyr to have the points from this, pwease. :3
Characters in this are both mine. Here are their apps:

Zephyr:

Seika: *the blow knocked the breath clean out of her and she backed away, dropping to one knee. It took her a few moments to catch her breath, but soon she was back on her feet, she refused to lose this easily. She lunged toward him again, slashing at him with a series of lighting fast blows*

Seika: *She barely managed to roll away from his sword. She had to admit that he was a better fighter than she first thought. Neither of them were really able to do much to the other, but she also knew that she didn't have the stamina or energy right know to try and wear him down, not after traveling all the way to the Nameless' camp on foot. She put a hand to the ground, causing a line of purple fire to appear between them, then stood up.* Enough. I think we'll call this a draw....for the moment.

Seika: Guess it is sort of similar... *she remained quiet for a long time* Fine. I don't really like or trust you...but I would like to learn more about my magic. *she looked at her hand* Aside from creating small lines of fire, like I just did, all I can really do is create small fireballs, and mani- *she cut herself off suddenly, she was about to say she could manipulate Kaseel's dragonfire to a limited degree, but that would be one of the worst things to say here.* ...And that's about it really.

Eamin: Eyrdens are more know for their physical magic, their agility and connection to the wild. Iukans have a certain kind of magic, usually reflected by their dragons. I got lucky with my Aweien blood. *he smiled at her* So we'll find out your limit, shall we?

Seika: *she seemed rather thoughtful for a while* Well, perhaps it is because wind and fire can work together. Wind can help make a fire stronger, and even the mighty dragons themselves are a mixture of both those elements. So it makes sense to me that my fire doesn't injure me despite my mixed heritage. *as she finished speaking she hurled the fireball at him*

Eamin: *he smiled at her observation, getting proud of her. He wasn't sure if she'd betray him yet, but he liked her. When the fireball came, he put out his hands to again create the electric shield.* Perhaps my Aweien magic strengthened by the Iukan allows me a greater defense against other magic. But now, you going to make that fire ball around you, as your shield. But instead of thinking of attacking, think of defending.

Seika: *the sudden bolt of lightning rushed toward her distracted her for a moment. Her fire-shield stopped most of the bolt, but not quite all of it. She staggered back as the electricity passed through her body, and she fell to her knees. It felt as though she'd been struck by a giant club and her heart fluttered slightly. She trembled slightly and for a moment panic nearly overwhelmed her. Was being struck by lighting supposed to make her feel this way? She relaxed as the effects of the electric shock passed, then with a grunt she got up again* ...That wasn't much fun...

Eamin: *He smiled, glad to see her able to get back up herself* This magic is a bit better with dragons, so maybe your Iukan blood is making it hurt more. I don't mean it doesn't hurt normally but... *he paused, watching her* Have you ever come into contact with a dragon?

Seika: *she shrugged slightly* My father was a General, so I grew up with a dragon close by. *she motioned to the scale in her hair* This was one of his scales. I used to climb up onto his head and take naps there.

RobotsWithCookies In reply to Squiggy13 [2014-07-19 14:48:00 +0000 UTC]
Eamin: Alright. Because if you were a General, one who bonded with a dragon, it would hurt more. And we'd have an entirely different problem on our hand, wouldn't we? *he watched her*

Seika: *her face remained expressionless, but a ripple of unease flowed through her. She wondered if word of her and Kaseel had made it to the Nameless yet. She wished Kaseel was close enough for her to contact in case she got into trouble, but he was too far away so she was on her own* Indeed we would have a problem, but do I honestly seem like someone a dragon would choose as their partner? *she glanced at him for a moment* But you've made me curious now, what kind of dragon do you think I'd have if I was ever bonded to one?

RobotsWithCookies In reply to Squiggy13 [2014-07-19 14:59:25 +0000 UTC]
Eamin: *He smiled, ignoring her first question* There could be two possible types of dragons. The first, one similar to you, serious, fast, straight to the point, but the other is your opposite. That's how Iukans and their dragons work.

Seika: I've always imagined that if I ever bonded with a dragon, I'd find one with the first type you mentioned. One similar to me and with savage teeth and claws. *she looked thoughtful though, and frowned slightly* But then I would be a terror....So perhaps it is better I don't have a dragon, especially one that is like myself. *she looked him in the eyes* But you've failed to answer my first question.

Seika: I- *she saw this a good chance to continue with the deception that she wasn't a general. She allowed a look of hurt and disappointment to enter her eyes. Then she turned on her heel and stormed away, pushing past anyone who got in her way. She didn't stop until she was well away from everyone else. Then she stopped and sat on a smooth rock, gazing out over the land.*
