.....okay Catastrophe is in another part of Kyndom right now.....but I think I can make this work.

~Catastrophe

The merchaint emerges from the dust that his mechanical bird had created, sowrd withdrawn. Catastrophe raised his soward and they crashed, with a loud clining sound.

Cataatrophe drew back and song his sowrd again, but this time prepairing to turn it in the last second and split the man's soward.

He turned it and with a loud crack the soward broke in two and fell away from the man's hands. Catastrophe kicked him to the ground and stood over him, snarling. "If I ever see one of your men on this ground again, you will be killed."

He stabbed the man in the shoulder to make shure he wouldn't make any moves and released him. His army slowly retreded after him, and Catastrophe caught his last words: "Maybe the next king will be more intrested."

~⚜~

Catastrophe was talking to one of the blacksmiths about a new polish for his soward when a mesenger crashed through the gates. Catastrophe turned to see a younge boy, just a bit older then himself, painting. "Th-the Powers. Just reported attacking a city off the north coast. Said to be heading for one closer. We could make it before they compleatly demolish The RuthWoods." 

Catastrophe grabbed the hilt of his soward and turned to his ingured soilders. "We leave at once! Grab your hourses, sowards, and conyons!" 

Catastrophe turned to the boy and smiled.

~Gryphon

Flying fast, he spotted the next city. Also one built withen the trees. Swarming with gaurds. He circled back and landed next to Dragon, folding in his wings as he walked. "Its a small human city. Should be easy to destroy.

They walked for a few more minuts before the first two gaurds appeared from the dirt path. Dragon flicked he tail to Clawed Serpent, who instantly burrowed underground and killed the gaurds from behind.

They kept on walking silently, with the cover of the trees. Caealni could tell that Dragon was injoying this. The gruesome matter of killing and fear.

~Dragon

She spotted the gate at one. "On my signal we bardge right through that gate and rip the trees apart. Ready, One, Two, Thre-."

She abruetly interupted herself as she spotted a vaguly familular figure chatting with a human inside the gate. Celesti. Oh Dragonscales.

Gryphon and Clawed serpent were already shooting foward with speed and streangh, bracing for impact. Dragon was frozen for a breif heartbeat as she flashed back to that dat when she was exiled. She wouldn't kill Celesti. She couldn't. And wouldn't ket another sole do so.

"NOOOOOOO!!! STOOOOOPPPPPPPP!" She roared, black smoke escaping her nostrals.

She ran foward like her life depeneded on it, wings helping and stopped at the gate, turned, and ramed into bothe Clawed Serpent and Gryphon. She was pushed back a few feet, making a dent in the gate, before she pushed the two Powers back into the forest. There was a battle cry from behind her and she glanced back.

She saw the shocked expretion of her beloved Celesti, her hand held still held up and her mouth open. 

Oh those eyes, Dragon would never forget those eyes.

She felt her eyes water, and her jaw line lift, before she turned to face the gaurds rushing in from all sides.

She charged, bowling over the humans who had managed to throw rops over Gryphon. Clawed seepent had vanished, but then Dragon felt the ground heave and his head and talons emerged from the ground, taring at a canon.

Dragon turned her head to see more humans filing in on hourse back, and looked back to check that Celesti was no longer there, before charging into the gate. Depres crashed in all directions as the three Powers ripped and shreaded all the houses and trees holding humans in sight. She felt the humans shooting little pointy rocks at her the whole time. Finally the three of them stopped at a large towering cliff face, and turned to finish off the army of pitful humans. 

~Gryphon

One strangly familular human steped up with a soward in hand on hourse back, which if Unicorn was here, she would be very enraged for capturing one of her kind like this. He raised his soward and brung it down, as if a signal to the other humans. They started fireing arrows and balls of green liquid at the three Powers. Dragon laughed at their pitful defence.

But as one arrow hit Gryphon, he felt a new, strange sensation go through him. One that felt like, like, pain, it burned, it did not feal good at all. 

He lifted up the leg they had hit and roared in agony, Dragon and Clawed serpent turning to him with a surprised expretion.

Had they felt it too?

~Catastrophe

As one of his men fired an arrow, a new type of poison they had created in a desperate attempt to find something that would hurt the Powers, it hit the mighty Gryphon in the leg, and he roared. In something that most defenatly sounded like pain.

Catastrophe smiled and laughed, fealing accomplished. He could do it. Kill them all right now. 

Then there was a crashing through the trees, and a swoop from above, and suddenly there were five Powers, one from behind one above and two infront. "Need some help?" The Angle wolf asked her fellow blood suckers. The Unicorn had one glance down at the humans bellow and started reiling in rage as she saw her fellow hourses trapped and enslaved. One by one they all reiled two, shaking off their riders and galoping into the forest. 

Catastrophe instantly got up as he felt dirt underneath him, brushing it off as he stared after his hourse. "We don't need them!" He boomed. "Keep fighting! If we kill all of them right now we only have one left to find!"

Then there was a crash in the forest and Celesti, his one true love, emerged into the middle of the battle.

~Angle wolf

Hovering up above she didn't think to look for any humans coming from the forest, untill one especially familular one emerged into the battle. Celesti? She through the Powers a look, a look that told them to be quiet. 

Catastrophe emediatly lifted his soward and the fireing stopped. 

Angle wolf landed infront of Dragon, who hissed at her. But she didn't care. "What are you doing my love?" Celesti whispered to Catastrophe.

Angle wolf could basically feal Dragon's rage and resentment behind her. "Destroying the Powers. Can this wait untill after?" 

"But Catastrophe, none of your posions will kill them."

"One will."

"Do you have it with you? Or enough to kill?" 

Catastrophe paused, looking around at his men. "Good point. Maybe killing the Powers could wait untill another time."

Celesti looked behind her before stating, "why do you even want to kill the Powers?"

Catastrophe paused and looked her with a stange glint in his eye. "Didnt I tell you my story?"

"Yes." Celesti looked behind her and snarled, "filthy Powers." But Lunee could see in her icy blue eyes that she didnt mean that.

"Shall we go?"

And then the hole army just left, and the Powers let them. Well except Dragon, but Lunee was holding her back.

(Admins please dont deleat this it took me a few hours to write) 

Guys please don't let this thread die!!! I cant write it all by myself!!!

Should we come up with how the guardian system formed? That might be interesting.

Hey guys Im back! Ya that could be intresting, Scylla. But maybe after this next part. 

Also Icy maybe you can add more about what is gonna happen at the castle with Celesti and Catastrophe, maybe an argument or a descution or something. ;) 

~Dragon

Dragon paced silently in the cave. It was dark out and in the shadows of the cave ten eyes were watching her, one of a deep violet, a clear, cloudy blue, a deep sea green, an earthy yellow, and simmering eyes that seemed to blend in with the shadows, except for the pail white fur and feathers that caught the moon and glimmered like a star. "That flower." Dragon started, coming to a rest infront of the deep violet eyes and shimmering white fur that glowed against the darkness but was a dull glow. "If going to be the death of us all. Gryphon said he felt pain. Pain, Unicorn. And who's fault is it that the humans now have a wepon to destroy us?" 

"Yours, Dragon. All yours. If they had pure soles and weren't evil....." Angle wolf was inturupted as Dragon roared, "this isn't your fight, Angle wolf. I want to here what Unicorn hast to say for herself."

"All things need a weekness. If not then they will be too powerful. Have the ability to destroy the world and succeed. You wonder why all the storys they tell has a happy ending. Why every evil sole is defeated?" 

Dragon saw Angle wolf's cold obsidain gaze shift to Dragon's even darker scales and leathery wings. Dragon knew perfectly well what she was thinking. "And that means that I will be defeated one day. Is that why you created that flower? To defeat me?"

Unicorn was silent. Dragon's heart sunk. Even before they all hated her they never trusted her. Just because she was the Power of Destruction, as Clawed serpent so kindly stated, ment that she was the one to most likely be evil. Well she was just trying to do whats best. 

Before she could say something, though, a cool slick voice spoke from the encloser of the sea. "Celesti will make sure they don't kill us." Sea serpent anounced. "She will take the flower and destroy it. It wont harm her." 

Unicorn's violet eyes looked away from the Powers, to the only safe spot in the room. The ground bellow them. "The flower can kill Celesti too." Dragon drew in the words. "Why, did you think she didn't deserve to live? That she could become just as evil as......as.....as I?" Dragon choked out the last words because she knew that they knew that it was true. 

Unicorn shook her head, her silver hair falling over her eyes. "No, no, oh no. If I were to make a weekness for us she had to be included. Whatever one of us has a weekness for," 

"All of us has the same one. Because we were boren togeather. Are only differences are what we make." Sea serpents words hushed them all. 

Finally Gryphon spoke up. "We need to destroy that flower. But how?"

Suddenly Dragon remembered how Celesti summond her magic to give her the form of a human, not just a fairy. "We could shape shift. Like Celesti. Make them think we are on their side. Then we can get others to steal the flower and burn it once we have their trust."

Angle wolf extanged a glance with Sylvia. "Do we have enough to do so? After all, Celesti has the most magic so she could make shure we were safe untill we could fend for ourselves."

"We can do it." Clawed serpent suddenly spoke in his grinding, earthy voice. "I've seen us in the futer. Though I didn't know that it was us untill now." 

Dragon glanced around. "It hast to be an animal close to our own form. Or else we won't have enough magic to compleat the transformation."

"We will be able to turn back?" Sea serpent whispered half heartedly.  

"If we do it right, yes." Unicorn responded.

They all looked into one another's eyes as if somoning the courage. Finally Dragon took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and opened her talons. She had tried summoning her magic once before, she just had to concentrate and think deeply of darkness. Then she could do whatever she wanted with it if she thought of that action carefully. Last time she had just released it, as she had no use for it at the time.

She took a deep breath and her mind spiraled into darkness. Waves of darkness, pulses of darkness. Waves of fire and destruction. More deep, dark, blackness.

After a few moments she felt the tendrals in her talon. She opened her eyes to see all her magic, swarming around her talons. She moved them back and foward and the black tendrals followed like smoke drawn to a fire. She glanced up at her siblings who were gasping wide-eyed at her, smiled one last time, and closed her eyes. She first thought of another form, an animal close to darkness. She thought of shifting back and foward. And the dark magic making it happen. 

And then she felt it. Dark tendrals encircling her. Slowly at first then quicker and quicker. She felt her form grow and shift as if the magic was lost on what to do. She slowly opened her eyes, but all she could see was darkness. No shocked sibling exprections here.

Then she felt her form start to shrink. Smaller and smaller, faster and faster. She felt her spine start to bristle with, with fur. And her ears start to becom softer and rounder. Her snout shrunk and multiple whiskers sprouted near her nose. Then the darkness flew into her new form, and she colapsed, no longer being suported. 

She shook her head and flicked her ears, looking up at the towering forms of her shocked siblings.

She glanced down and found soft paws with long, silver claws that curled into the earth.

And she knew what her animal form was. The creature who was a shadow in the forest. A whisper of death.

A panther.  

nice :D

~Caelani

I watched as Dragon summond the magic in her. Darkness swirled around and around before fading into her new form. A panther.

Next firey light started flaming around Unicorn, sparkling with deep silver and bright green. The form shrunk, revealing her new form. A horse. But her violet eyes were the same. As was Dragon's puipless glare. 

Gryphon took a deep breath, fealing the breeze around him. The swirling magic inside that he knew was there. He felt it seeping into his talons then swirling around his wings. He slowly spread his wings and felt the feathers start to desperse and swirl around him. He flashed his eyes open quickly in a moment of fear. What was happening? Will his new form be featherless? He felt himself start to shift and shrink and the fear and axiousity grew. What would they think of him? The magic swayed to his fear and dropped his feathers to jump into his knew form without completion. He felt the magic go in through his back paws and into his small form. He looked down, and found that he had no lion paws any more. Only back bird talons. He looked back....and was relived when he had feathers. One long brown one stuck from his tail ray of feathers. The other pure white ones were tipped gold. He looked up at the towering forms of the others, and Dragon's new form, looking down at him curiously. 

"A white crow. A large white crow." He splayed his wings, large compaired to his body size. 

He was proud of his new form, he would admit that. Even if it wasnt compleated. But still....

A white crow. 

~Celesti

It's foolish. A fool's game.

...Then why do I play it?

I've been alone in my parlor all day. Just sitting, gazing absentmindedly at the fire. I don't want to hear him say 'my name' anymore today. I just feel...so evil. Like a traitor. Black on the inside. I feel like I'm not Celesti anymore--I'm Celeste. Something less beautiful, but beautiful to those who know my name and not my other one. To those who really know Celesti AND Celeste, it's sad. But is Celesti really my life? Can I combine Celesti AND Celeste? Or will I break?

By now, you surely have realised the 'fool's game' that I have been speaking of. Being PowerFriend and Human. Being protector and destroyer.

I started being Human to indulge a desire of mine. Just to have a break from being gentle, kind protector--although I could still be nice--no, good. Nice isn't good. But, in the end, I fell in love. Being human for a while made me think like one, although only a trace of that...human trait...remains when I am fairy. Celesti or Celeste?

When I am human, it feels so good to be..well..how I am. When I'm fairy, the truth is opened to me. Or IS the truth open to me? Is it real? Or is it false? As a human, I'm younger. Not the wise Celesti. I am back to the thought--this is a fool's game. Eventually, I'll have to choose one or the other, won't I?

I'll indulge in Catastrophe's little game. He couldn't harm the Powers, though. I'll try for a compromise--and if I crack under pressure, so be it.
