First topic message reminder :

Zodiac Chapter 1; Pt. 1

Once the forest dwellers of all kinds were hit with the Blu~Nami, they would, as stated, become scrambled withing the many vibrations of the forest and all its wavelengths. This is due to the effects of the crash. However, at any given time, at the leisure of Tabrith, the Forest's color can change at any given time, inclusive to his own mood. Therefore, after receiving the refreshing cleansing water through his branches and absorbing them into all his roots, the entire Ambiguous Forest would shift to a cool, calming oceanic blue. The air around them would, as well, become aqueous like water, giving the visual effect of water all around, yet, they would find that they were able to breathe it like normal air and nothing had changed except for the method in which they had to move. Thus, in plain air, they would be able to float through the forest as though it were water for as long as it stayed Blue.

At the same time, as soon as each of them were hit and stabilized, all of them should have felt a refreshing calm come across them and a cleansing breath of fresh air in the water that would surround them and sooth their minds and souls. This would give them a different option of transitioning through the Ambiguous Forest, as well as elemental training, if they so chose to endure. As long as they could maintain a steady wavelength and not get lost, or shift into a different wave of the forest, they would be fine and could still travel through and exit from or enter deeper into the forest as they wished.

The voice of the forest came through much louder and clearer than it had before with everyone being separated. There was a slight difference in the tone, but for the most part it was identifiable and El knew that he could trust it to lead him just as true as the blessing he'd been given by the Taurus. Even if the latter probably didn't trust the former as much.

"So there was a bit of a monsoon swell, not that uncommon... I think?" El said, humorously. He didn't really understand what had happened, but the generalization that it was just like a change in weather, or season, was easy for his brain to digest. He wanted to ask questions to understand the anomalous, in his mind anyway, behavior, but felt it more prudent to hold those kind of inquiries in. They weren't important in the grand scheme of things. The most important thing was for him to scoop up his Ankh and get back to Tzita's side as quickly as possible.

As he walked, feeling that he'd finally stepped within range of being able to hear the Taurus if he spoke, El "Do you know where my companion, Tzita, is?" decided to ask. Additionally, he added a primer. "I think we should meet up before that dog comes sniffing around again." It seemed the best course of action. As far as he knew, there was a sacred beast roaming this forest as well and he and Tzita could locate it much faster together than they probably could apart.

The sensation of laughter would be like that of a gentle wave sweeping through the waters, something like what a light chuckle would feel like if its sound wave were able to be physically felt through amplified speakers and conducted by water. El should have not only heard it, but felt it, and also it carrying him slightly as it did, for the moment that it occurred. "Yes, I suppose you could call it that," he would say, answering both questions simultaneously, as though he were speaking to them individually. They still were not aware of the true nature of this forest, but it seemed that it was best to be left in the dark. It needn't complicate things with the complex makeup of the mystical forest. "Your partner is at the opposite end of the forest, walking in a direction opposite your own." This, too, would answer the both of them simultaneously, creating the illusion that the forest was speaking to only one of them, when in actuality, both were being addressed. With this, the forest would become silent until addressed again, the waters becoming still so that they may drift through unencumbered.

Meanwhile, a powerful vacuous force would draw in the one following the Sacred Beast, leading her to a different location of the Blue Lily entirely.

Continuing on her leisurely float through the watery forest, Tzita was rather content with being just like this for a while. Even if it was only a remnant of what her actual capabilities from the past were, it was still a nice relaxing float along. She would meet up with El eventually. Something about these waters made her feel clean and really serene on the inside, and that was something she didn't always feel. In fact, sometimes, despite how effortlessly she went through with all of her thoughts and actions, she felt that she were somehow doing something wrong, which didn't make her feel good. It was usually quickly ruled out by the rewards that she gained from whatever method she used to get them, but when she really had to sit back and take a look at herself, her loot couldn't make her feel better about the memory that remained on how she got it. Often, it was just a reminder of her malignant methods of acquiring things. These waters really made her reflect on that and also made her feel like she should stop doing things like that. Perhaps, this was what was best for her. She already had a new life and everything, so, she might as well make a new 'self' from it, since she was given a chance to do it over. She didn't know why she was thinking so deeply on this all of a sudden, but she knew it had to be the water.

Tzita looked up as she lucidly floated along her back, peering through the trees up above her and finding the swaying leaves in the watery atmosphere rather striking and alluringly calming. It eased her about her troubles, even to the point of not worrying whether or not she left the forest, or found El again. Something about this place had a heightened effect on her; much more than it did on El, anyway. She simply looked and thought and floated, until... *THOK* "OW!! Dammit!!" In her carefree free-float, she'd forgotten that she was still in a forest and that the trees, even if lucid, were still pretty solid. "Grr...What is this? Why is there always something in my way? I was really enjoying myself!" That's when she heard the voice of the forest again, speaking to her in response to where El was. "... What? The opposite end?" She looked at her Ankh that she'd been following, only to find that there was indeed a streaming light pointing toward the opposite direction she'd been moving. She quickly inferred that this had to be El, and that the other light was... "... The Sacred Beast!" She'd feel bad for leaving El on his own, but if she were closest to the Sacred Beast, then she figured she might as well continue to pursue it, since she'd gotten this far. Whatever El was doing, it was probably important in its own way. "I've got to keep moving... I'll just meet up with him later." She kicked off and continued to swim off toward the light, anxiously and eagerly looking for the Sacred Beast again.

El continued on closer to the Ankh as he did, the feeling of the Taurus guiding him becoming more vibrant inside of him. The soothing water that washed over the Ankh even managed to reach the spirit of the Taurus, and through it, just like the voice of the forest, the Taurus' voice would, too, be clear enough to hear, though still faintly due to distance. "... I dunno what you see in that there girl," were the first things El should have heard, followed by, "... She ain't nothin' but trouble." The sound of the voice was like a rippling wave, similar to how the chuckle of the voice of the forest was. It would further help direct El in the direction of his lost Ankh, showing him the way the more the Taurus spoke from it and directly to him through their connection. "... There's a better head on yer shoulders than that one." The connection between them created a steady wave, visible and able to be witnessed before El's eyes as a steady stream that seemed to move independently from the other waves, connecting him directly to the Ankh from which it stemmed. The Ankh was nowhere in sight, but the stream of 'energy' or 'wavelength' that came from it and was connected to El would further help guide him toward it, and should make it easier to find, at this point. "... Yeh, I know where she is," the faint voice grunted, with what seemed to be a bit of stubbornness, "... Come find the Ankh and I'll show ya."

El's eyes picked up on the ripples caused by the voice's of the people speaking to him, absent of course were the ripples caused by Tzita. This was just because, as he had been informed, she was on the other side of the forest and moving further away the more both of them continued moving. He would turn around, but finding the Ankh took precedent over reuniting with Tzita. She proved, time and again, that she was capable of keeping herself safe so there was no need to worry.

El smiled, following the ripples of the Taurus' voice, as well as the pull from his connection to both the Ankh and Taurus, moving closer to the Ankh before he was finally able to find and pick it up. "I can handle trouble just fine, glad to have your wisdom again." El said as he dust the Ankh off, just in case there was some dirt on it. While he could admit he had become smitten with Tzita because of her looks, at first, he wasn't entirely sure himself why he felt so drawn to Tzita, in more than just a physical sense, but there was just something about her that stimulated him on a much different level. Something that stopped him from leaving her alone. So if she was trouble, then he was fine with braving it if it meant he could remain with her.

It took him a little while, but with the guidance of the Taurus, El eventually gathered his bearings and collected the Sacred Item, which would revitalize to him the full Blessing of the Taurus. "Yeeeeah yeeeaaah. To each his own, then," he grunted again, still finding no understanding about why he would like someone so brazen. "Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, an all that." For whatever reason, he had some sort of feelings for her that the Taurus just didn't personally enjoy, himself. But it wasn't his place to dictate who felt for whom, even if he didn't agree. "Anywho, that girlie is off somewhere far and deep. Y'all best get ta movin' if'n yer tryna find her quick." The light of the Ankh would shoot off toward the direction opposite of where El had come from, pointing toward Tzita's Ankh. "There ya go. Happy trails. Hruh."

El couldn't help but keep smiling. Taurus reminded him a lot of his uncle, who had raised him. El, having grown up on a farm, had grown accustom to the heavy country dialect that Taurus spoke in and his words sounded like advice that his own uncle would give him about chasing girls. Now, El, when he was young, hadn't really been the type to chase girls, but when he came home from the capital, after being knighted, before his uncle's death, he would tell the man all about the different kinds of women in the capital. Much like Taurus, his uncle would warn him against pursuing bold woman because they weren't anything but trouble. El, luckily or unluckily, had never been as smitten with any other woman as he was with Tzita. Only fate could decide how things turned out, El felt he had enough power, in this world at least, to weather any storm that came.

El looked up from the Ankh, following the trail of light with his eyes as he equipped the Ankh to a chain he had around his neck, a chain that manifested from Tzita's magic and hadn't disappeared yet, as a necklace and prepared himself from the journey by stretching out. "I appreciate the advice Taurus, it's true ya know. Still, there's just something about her. Anyway, I better use all my power to get there fast, we still have to find the Virgo." Then he was off, hoping he was moving at a fast enough speed to weather the thick depths of the water like air of the forest and still be moving at a quick enough pace to make the travel from this half of the forest to the other as fast as possible.

"Hruh," he grunted once more, feeling a sort of fondness toward El now, somehow. Perhaps it was due to the connection that El felt to the Taurus, and the resonant bond that was being shared between them through such a feeling, which caused the Ankh to glow. It was also because of the Taurus' own sentimentality... Rather, Tank's. He was the new Head of the Taurus, and with that, he still had the memories fresh from his departure. "... Ya know, y'all remind me of young Bucky. Make sure ta visit the family once in a while, ya hear?" The glowing of the Ankh would reinforce El's speed and his power, as well as grant him the blessing of the Iron Will yet again, giving him a 'Super Armor' of sorts, just like before. The water would roll off of him like that of a duck's back, allowing him to run through it as though he were on normalized ground, and letting none of it touch him, but part around him. The strengthening of their bond seemed to give the Taurus more power to give to El, which strengthened El's already natural speed and strength. They were a dynamic duo, and it was clear that the Taurus had given his Blessing to the right person... Much better than that girl, that's for sure.

Eventually, the young man speeding through the forest would, yet again, be trailed by the mechanical creature that had been lurking in the shadows, waiting for a target. Now, it was back in its 'hound' form, and the Desoto was hot on his tail.

Down The Rabbit Hole; Blue Lily - Page 2 9240877765_648a3605d6_b

Because of his speed, the Desoto was carried by his vacuum and therefore would be able to, if not close the gap, then remain ever in El's presence just behind him, hopefully silenced by the splashing of water and pounding of his feet on the ground. The creature knew that he would lead it to the goal, and therefore, would not attack until they were all back together or unless necessary.

El had forgotten that the Taurus could bestow the Iron Will upon him, but when it revealed itself again it was comfortable. El felt used to it already, like it was a second skin to him even though he had only experienced it twice. This was probably because he felt so close to the Taurus in the first place, which was great actually. It meant that they both gladly made great decisions in terms of partners. This world already made El feel more powerful than he ever had, and the Taurus' blessing was like have the caring and watchful eyes of his late uncle keeping him safe.

"Well I'm glad to hear that, and I definitely will do that."

The old bull suddenly fell silent when he felt something was askew in his great horns. There was some sort of disturbance in the air that El was not going to feel because he was already under the influence of the 'Iron Will,' and therefore, couldn't feel anything outside the body armor of the Taurus... But the Taurus itself would. He snorted, grunting hard, "Something's coming..." Knowing that the boy was in control of the power at the moment, Taurus' influence was limited whilst he was bestowing such a great amount of energy into the 'Iron Will' in order to ensure his protection and unencumbered movement through the thick waters. "... Hruh."

El continued with his trek through the waters and towards Tzita. He heard Taurus, and half expected that something like this would happen. While he didn't have any way of actually knowing this, it was his warrior's instinct and intuition that made him weary. While everyone had been blown away from each other, there was really no way of telling where the robot that he and Tzita had been enthralled in combat with had ended up.

"It could be that robot from before. I hate to lead it to Tzita, but we fared better against it as a team. I'd much rather fight together and guarantee a victory, if it comes to a battle, than fight alone."

El was no idiot, even if he seemed very carefree and happy. He had been a knight and seen many battlefields, enough to know that fighting in unfamiliar territory against an unfamiliar foe was foolish. He was an alien to this world, so it was much better to have someone who knew various things about this place, its people, and its technology with him.

Subject: Re: Down The Rabbit Hole; Blue Lily Sun Oct 04, 2015 8:58 pm

The Taurus huffed, knowing that the cunning creature wasn't going to attack them and let them know it was there. Then they wouldn't lead it to the destination. Though, they did all function best as a group, the Taurus wasn't going to sit around and wait for them to get all the way there to start weakening it or something of the sort. "Hruh. Then you drive, and I'll shoot..." He said this in almost a metaphorical way, before shifting the consciousness of his spirit behind El into the form of hind bull hooves that would thrash at the mechanical dog and simultaneously kick El forward with greater velocity. The concussive force of the hooves breaking the sound barrier to kick him into high gear and lose the thing would have sent him hurdling forward at a much swifter pace.

The resulting force of impact from the abrasive heel of the spirit knocked Desoto backward with much force, causing it to fly a great distance behind whilst they propelled themselves forward. The gears whined as loud as the dog's whimper, it rolling back into the water from the force of slamming into what was probably like a solid rock wall being swat at it. In that moment, if it weren't damaged on contact, it would at least be knocked away. However, nothing could be seen of it after that.

By the time El had been boosted forward, clear through the ambiguous trees and their aqueous atmosphere, he would find, yet again, that they were shifting colors the closer he got to Tzita. This, however, was the forest making a transition, and not actually a completed alteration altogether. Something new was causing the trees to become a dreamy violet, where the water would become haze and the pressure of the water on the man's spiritually armored body would easily melt into a viscous violet vapor, followed soon by the trees themselves.
