Shadow turns to me and smiles. "Everything is okay, don't worry. Let's get you started."

I nod and she walks away to get something, coming back a few moments later with a withered flower in her hand.

"It's not completely dead yet," she whispers, putting the flower in my hands. She looks into my eyes. "Let's see what you can do."

I focus everything on it, and it starts to gain shape and turn into a pure white lily. But then golden pollen starts to get everywhere, which turns into a strange golden light. The light floods the room, and it swirls all around us. The light explodes through the glass in the room, and the glass shatters on the floor.

"Brynn, that's enough," Shadow says.

But I can't stop it.

I watch it consume the hallways of the base and swarm around people while they look around confused.

"Brynn!" Shadow exclaims.

The light continues to flow, and it gets as bright as a forest fire when suddenly the power shuts off and everything goes dark, the light diminishing and flowing back to the flower.

Shadow gasps. "Did you do that?" 

I was walking towards the room where the girl with Trillian was when I heard a huge explosion. I turned in the direction of the sound and ran.

When I reached the room where it had happened, I saw shadow and Brynn standing in the middle of a glass strewn room.

"Explosion-heard-came-what?" I gasp, trying to catch my breath.

"It's fine. Everything is under control," shadow said calmly, although I saw her shaking. "Brynn just had a little power slip. That's all."

"A little?" I mutter under my breath.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused. I didn't mean too," Brynn said timidly.

"It's perfectly fine. I completely understand," I say, trying to calm down. "Hey Brynn, when you where in the enclosure, did you met lots of bird-people? We have one right now and we could use your help in explaining to her. If that's OK with your teacher," I said hurridly.

@Sprocket, my charctaer Ava is also with the other bird girl Valaya. They're twins. 

@shadow, Viola?, and everyone, I am definitely NOT leaving Cricket. I am just leaving he Resistance base to spy on Catastrophe. I think one of my later posts talks about it.  

I am so hungry. 

"...to her?" Sprocket asks.

I shake my head slightly to interrupt my thoughts. "Yes, of course."

Hungry.  

Sprocket gives me a half smile and Shadow nods. I start to follow Sprocket out of the room, but right as we are in the hallway, my knees hit the floor, and I collapse. Everything goes black. 

Trillian-

Ava, Valaya and I peek into the room where Brynn sits. Shadow and Alexander were arguing and she was sitting there with shadows under her eyes looking tired. I signal for the twins to wait at the door and walk up to her. Brynn looked up with scared eyes.

"What happened to me?" She asked "I don't want to be angel of death..."

"I know," I muttered "something like this has happened to me too."

"What?"

"y'see, I once had a sister who had even more power than you. It corrupted her and turned her mad. She went around wreaking death and destruction but one day I figured out a way to stop her. Unfortunately I was then stuck with her power. I had the same trouble as you, every time I used it, I ended up accidentally incinerating something."

Brynn looked at me, confused "but you aren't destroying stuff anymore..."

"no, but it took a long time to figure it out. If you want, I can help you with your powers...?" 

I stand by the room where Shadow, Trillian, Sprocket and everyone are. A passed out Brynn has woken up and scientists try to figure out what happened. Meanwhile, Alexander and Shadow argue, Trillian tries to talk to Brynn, and Mina and Sprocket talk. 

I walk into the room and Mina and Shadow look up.

"Hey, Harbor!" Shadow exclaims, coming to hug me.

"How've you been?" I ask, quickly hugging her back.

She smiles. "Okay."

I turn to Mina and she nods with a smirk.

"Took you long enough."

I laugh. "Yeah, well I'm here now but I'm gonna need some catching up."

A fox looks at me. "Who's this?"

"Princess Harbor of Mer, and an old friend. We all were in the Battle of Aslahari together," Shadow replies.

"Yep," I nod.

Shadow turns to me and in practically a single breath explains what's happened. Honestly, I thought she was going to hyperventilate.

"Now," I say. "I've heard some things from other kingdoms about what Catastrophe has been up to."

"And what's that?" Shadow asks.

I sigh. "Catastrophe has been trying to gain access to different kingdoms, such as Goldenlight, Tory, Windwater Falls, Rin Province, and other places. But not nessacarily to control them, but to occupy them. Occupation in order to find any Resistance members or opposing spies. It's pretty bad. They even came to Mer, but couldn't get past the navy. Other safe kingdoms are the Jade Kingdom, and most of the kingdoms in the southern regions. Northern ones have been taken over by SOCS recently. SOCS is making the people leave, and then they tear down the towns to make facilities. Like I said, it's pretty bad."

"That's terrible," Shadow replies.

Mina nods. "We're still trying to get a handle on our troops and it seems as though Catastrophe is using his to cause oppression already."

"No kidding," Shadow says. "And with all the things happening with Alexandria, Brynn, and everyone else...."

"Who's Alexandria?" I ask. 

While shadow and everyone else tries to explain to Harbour who Alexandria is, I slip out to one of the covered porches.

Looking out at the trees, I take a deep breath. I was exhausted. This whole deal with the enclosure had left me no time to sleep. And now this disturbing report about Catastrophe's forces moving to the different kingdoms...

Stop. Think. Think about what you can do. Don't trouble yourself with the things you can't do right now. Deal with them later.

I hear a noise behind me. Turning around, I see the little girl Brynn walk out. She walks up to me and stands next to me. We sit there in silence for a while.

"I thought the scientists were looking at you," I say, breaking the silence.

"They are talking to shadow. She is trying to figure out what happened." She sighs. "I really wish that I had some time to get used to this. I had no idea what happened back there. It is really hard to understand something that you have no idea about."

I laugh. "I feel your pain."

She looked at me quizically. "You do?"

"Yup. Back when I was in SailHaven, Lord Elliot," I scowl, then take a deep breath and carry on, "decided to send me and Trillian on a mission to get the Relic of Blood or something like that. Actually he didn't tell me to, but I went anyways. Anyhoo, turns out the stupid thing turned me into a vampire. All of a sudden I had fangs," I point to my canines, "and I was going to be immortal and age slowly, and I had these scary mind powers that if I used to much I would go insane or something like that. This all happened while a war was about to start."

She was silent for a while, and I could sense her uneasiness. Finally she said, "I'm hungry."

Laughing, I hand her a muffin from out of my pocket. 

Poe Allen runs through the woods. I cock my pistol.

Izzuan runs towards him. I send a flare into the air.

I advance, and crouch in the shadow of a tree.

"Izzuan, you are ready for that attack?" Poe said.

"Yes." He replies.

I climb up the tree. A red moon starts to rise, and a mist forms around me, red with the colour of the moon. I loom down.

"Poe, have you found Alexandria yet?" Izzuan asks.

"No." Poe says.

My brain starts spinning. Clearly Poe was rescued by the traitor; Izzuan. I should probably think about my offense. I shake my head, clearing the last remnents of Jaaws from them. I jump down, my eyes glinting in the dark.

"At ease, general." I say.

Izuan and Poe turn.

"You're dead." Izzuan says flaty.

"No, I managed to cleanse myself from Jaaws. And you remember that time machine? Well, I held onto it, and the resulting shockwave sent me to this time. And that same shockwave freed me from Jaaws. I am myself for the first time since the undersea ball." I say, running at Poe. He falls back, and crashes to the ground. Izzuan runs to help.

I spread my arms and my wings shoot out. I flap to the sky, and the Relic glows. I clench my fist, and a bolt of read energy appears in my hand.

"Resistance, come out here and see this." I yell.

I throw my spear, and Izzuan dodges, and hits the ground. He screams as I fly next to him.

"I return from being posessed to see scum like you have power. You are why I was possesed: why Octavia has so much power: idiots who like money." I say, and call a shrill cry.

Ludvic and Angelena fly down, and remove their helmets. The occupation of SailHAven is over. I fly along with them at Poe and Izzuan, and the Relic glows. A group of my vampires come to my aid. And with one command, Izzuan is no more.

I fly back to the resistance base, dragging Poe along.

I see a guard, and command to be let inside.

_____________________

I walk to the intercom room.

"Resistance. My name is Elliot. I was once possesed by Jaaws, and I was driven to madness. That caused me to destroy SailHaven and join Catastrophe. I freed myself, and time traveled here. Now, I have spared you of the trouble of Izzuan, and I have a very pathetic Poe Allen here. Sprocket, I have brought you some of the best autamatons from SailHaven. Please come and get them. Also, I have a few scions which could potentially be pets. They are trained, don't worry." I say.

Ludvic and Angelena are back too. This is great. 

I smile and take the muffin. "Thanks."

She nods and looks ahead. "Don't mention it. I think Shadow told me something about bird people's appetites."

I nod and think. "Actually, I haven't had food since the Enclosure." 

I finish off the muffin as she laughs. "Or that might just be an ordinary stomach."

I smile and take her hand. She smiles and we look at the woods, but then in the distance I see an explosion. Sprocket sees it too, because she lets go of my hand and runs inside. I follow her.

Suddenly the base is in a hustle, and I'm told to stay put in the meeting room. I sigh as everyone runs out, and when I turn around, I see a soldier pointing a gun at me. It's not a Resistance soldier.

I scream as loud as I possibly can.  

Explaination: So Elliot is back, and he was possesed by Jaaws for a while, so the only time there was true Elliot was before the Cave Exploration, so a long time ago, baisicly never. He was almost killed, but he used a time travel device (which broke) to save himslef, and the travel throught time left him unpossesed. So he is not evil, and he hates Catatrophe. Any clearer?

What should I be doing?
