Cool! So should we try to have a scene where Grondor first comes to be? He's formed from Ecio's pride if I remember that right... 

Also, shouldn't Grondor hate Ecio?  

@Arra- yes indead. Despisingly loath him. I'll leave you two to write that secne, I'll go ahaid and add on with the others. When I have more time.

@Grondor- You IRISH DANCE?! That's awsome! I think I did a little of that in tap once. It's hard. XD And for the record, I landed two hard or didnt leap high enough or something like that...on a switch leap and sprained my heal. Good thing I was taking a year off of compeating because of my previous ACL sprain. I actually have no clue how I managed to sprain a nerve...lol

@Shadow- alright, quick recap. We are at the part when the Powers figure out how to shift into their alternate forms, spread out, and try to find the Brazen Goo that Catastrophe is colocting. If you want a recap of the very begining, go to the first page of the STory SO FAR thread the Admins made on the front page. ANd please share your other ideas! We may just end up likeing one of them more...but if not we can always tweak the origonal one. ;)

@EVERYONE- I am SOOOOOOOOO happy right now that PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY HAVEING IDEAS (and close to writeing) I KNEW THIS WOULDN"T DIE!!!!! :D 

Haha, I do Irish dance, along with Grondor. 

I've really never injured myself from Irish Dance (well, bruises from failed clicks in hard shoes on the funny bone Xp). 

Claaws, it's cool that you do dance too!

Grondor, I just did a digital feis for the first time, because I usually go to the actual ones, and it was weird but kinda cool! The adjudicaor is the camera, basically. Xp

I'm not alone! XD I used to do Irish dance, but gave it up after a few years in favor of piano and soccer. But it was really fun the time that I did it. My first ever performance was on an Irish dance stage actually. 

Anway, if Grondor gave the old badger the power to live forever, then he would have to think that the badger didn't like Ecio (I don't know why else he would help him) and didn't realize he was his guardian. So the badger pretended to help him look for Ecio's instrument, but instead just kept him away from it. And over time, they became good friends. But then somehow Grondor realized the truth and when they finally met in the cavern after a long time, he tried to attack the "traitor". 

Wow DOES EVERYONE HERE IRISH DANCE!? THAT IS AWSOME! 

Anyway...

@Shadow- Think of a reason Lunee would have a sideaffected Power. Death was origonally Dragon's job (Claaws) but maybe when she got banished, there was none to do it, so Lunee atempted to make a replacement out of the moon and song for Claaws, which turned into her sideaffeceted power! But since Lunee is the good, her sideaffceted power wasn't all that bad, and agreed to do the job of death under one price, (you can decide what it was. Maybe a second life, or immortallity, something like that.) So she gave you a name, Death (or Grim Reaper's another one) and kept you a secret from the rest. Claaws was so wraped up with destroying humans, that she forgat about her old deuty, and Death went unacounted for until something with Lunee and she decided to give her job to a group of dragons (or something else you can decide that also) and went to (what do you want to do after that? Join Catastrophe? One of the other sideaffceted Powers?)

Do you like it?

@Arra sounds good!

Continueing!

"So, fighter, you want to join Kyndom's army?"

I stood over the dead intruder, ruffling my feathers. I cawed in responce, then dipped my head nobley. The human smiled. Of course he didn't understand me, I'm not speaking in their language, even though I know it. "We may have to teach you some english."

"That won't be necissary." I couldn't let my pride rest at bay any longer. "I'm more skilled then you think. I can do much more then take down a human. I have chased off a Power before, matter of factly."

I saw his shocked exprection with pride, spreading my magnifecent white feathers and lifting my head. That's when I got an idea. "I'm half thunderbird, you know. All you need is me to take down that reched Gryphon."

He laughed, bending over to touch the human's rock arm. Yes, the human had a rock arm. As strange as it was, they looked pretty fond of it. "Well, thunderbird. Prove you're worthey to bring to Catastrophe." He guestered behind me, and I senced at once the clanking of footprints.

Of course, I knew he was sneaking up behind us a long time ago, I just didn't want to ruin my chance to make Dragon proud.

I jumped into the air, wings assisting, and whirlled on the attacker, lashing my talons and spreading my wings. My talons clashed with the human's long claw-like thing, and his eyes narrowed. It seemed like we stayed there forever, glaring into another's eyes, before I started dropping back to the earth and his claw slipped from my grip. He drew it back then up and down again, and I flapped my wings, deflecting it with my talons. He drew it back and attcked again and again. By now I was just playing with my prey, but I caught sight of the soldger's bord expretion and decided to wrap things up. 

I grabbed his claw the next time he brung it down, twisted it, and plled it from his grip. I then swong it in an arch and launched it at his throat. But to my surprise, cat-like claws emerged from his hands and deflected it.

I narrowed my eyes. Things just got real.

I arrowed foward, stricking for his heart. He slashed with his claws and I dove to the side, trying to rake his side. My talons scraped on metal, and I hissed in anouyance. It must be some sort of armor. He twisted and I flipped out of his claw's way, talongs extending to grap his neck.

He shreiked as I tared through the skin and soft matirials with my sharp talons. Withen moments blood stained my feathers and the metal human lay without a head.

I flew over and dropped the head of the intruder at the soldger's feet. I bowed, then looked up with my peircing blue gaze. I saw him flinch as he realized I had no puiples. "Bring me to Catastrophe."

~Claaws

The undergrowth rustles and I turn, ears pricking. I sences human, must be the soldgers. I turned and saw the peircing lights of a human village at night. I winced, hissing mildly.

The humans herd me and stopped short. I heard their breath. Caculating. Trying to deturmain if I was enemy or foe.

I slipped into the shadows. Unseen except for my unblinking white eyes. After a moment of hesitation I saw the glint of armor and heard the crunch of boots once again. My fur bristled. Humans. Descusting humans. I snarled in the cover of darkness, where they wouldn't suspect me to be an enemy.

These humans were strange though. They had a weird glint in their eyes, and metalic features like arms and legs and eyes. They didn't look like part of Catastrophe's armey. Were they human enemys to Catastrophe? Would I earn his trust defeating them?

The gaurds of the city had spotted them by now. They were yelling, signalling for more soldgers.

These humans were enemy's of Catstrophe. "Perfect." I lept from the darkness, vanishing into a shadow n front of them.

"Shh, stop." The leader paused. I held my breath, fur stilled and claws frozen. "Just the wind. Charge men!"

They charged, yelling and waving long claws and their metalic parts, who now had some sort of sharp end. "For our king! If you don't want to trade with us, we'll take it by force!"

Aha. Proven enemies. I slowly stalked from the darkness. Then I sprang foward and knocked the trailing man into the shadows. HE screamed, but it was way too late. I bit down on his neck, claws tarring into and holding down his dangeriously sharp metalic wings. He went silent and limp almost as fast as I attacked. I turned back to the rest of the men, who had paused and was listening to the jungle. 

I could almost feal my eyes gleam with moonlight as my ears pricked. One man saw me. He was reaching for the other...

I sparnd foward, whisking him off his feet and into the darkness on the other side of the men. I peirced my tolons to his chest, ripping off the metalic part and killing him with a blow to his bare heart.

I licked my lips. It felt so good to kill. Humans especally. For the trust of the one I hate the most,so I can kill al of them.

I turned back, facing the only survior left, the leader. "Show yourself!" He demanded. 

"If you wish." I said in my silky feline voice, emerging from the shadows. "But you will die either way." I turned my head to the soldgers, now silent and only watching. "I WORK FOR CATASTROPHE, AND THE HUMANS OF KYNDOM!"

He slammed into my side, trying to cut through my neck with his weird metal cat claws. But of course I'm immortal, so it bounced off.

I rolled over onto my back, and stared into the eyes of my attacker. I lashed out with my back paws, flipping him over. I then lept ontop of him, my claws drawing blood, and whispered into his ear, "I am Claaws. The Power of Darkness. You have been the first human to die as a sacrafice to me, and soon all of Kyndom with be free of your filthy species." 

I pressed down with my claws, ripping through his soft neck flesh and killing him. I sat back off of the dead human, and looked back at the soldgers who were still safley inside the gates. I slowly turned and walked towards them. I heard frightened yelles as I drew nearer, slowly gaining speed.

I slowed to a stop at the gate, spraying dirt through the bars at them. I knew the first thing they saw of me through the dust was my white, puipless eyes. 

As the dust cleared, I saw the pointed spears through the gates. I laughed, and the humans shifted uncomfortiably. "That is unneccacary, soldgers of Catastrophe."

I bowed, to my discuse, but I knew it must be done in order to release chaos on all the humans and kill them. All of them.

I raised my head with a new glint in  them, the red hint, that ws growing bolder by the second of prospect. "I wish to join your ranks. Will you bring me to Catastrophe?"

The lead soldiger, suddenly less jumpy, lowered his spear. The rest did the same. "I will be honored to add you to our ranks."
