Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Well, that's one way of creating an artificial tail."

 

"Mother is very skilled at what she does. It's hard to say this, but I sometimes think her death might've strengthened her power as a Death Guardian."

 

"A what what?"

 

"A Death Guardian. It's sort of like the opposite of a Forest Guardian, which are also known Life Guardians, but work in pairing with them. All Forest Guardians have the power to be a Death Guardian, but it's very rare for a Forest Guardian to be born a Death Guardian. Death Guardians generally handle the balance of animal population, and making sure things die when it's their time to." Artemis explains, clearly passionate about the details of her kind.

 

The flowers have long been withered. They're practically colorless now.

After this whole ordeal, Kailee opens her eyes and slowly turns towards Myria.

 

"How are you feeling?" Myria asks, smiling.

 

Kailee grunts, nostrils flaring.

"Who is this lady that pulls me to the darkness?" Kailee asks, urgent but nervous.

 

"That's Myria."

"Should I be worried, since I can summon animals?" She whispered to Artemis.

 

"Myria... why do you know her? That same emptiness... it's familiar, and I want to end her." Kailee grumbles.

 

"Please don't. I just met her."

 

Myria seems unimpressed, walking over to her daughter.

"Not really." Artemis says calmly.

 

"She is the darkness... a beacon of it. Are you suggesting I work with this... this abomination of emptiness?!"

Kailee inhales deeply, glaring straight at Myria.

 

"That's awfully rude, especially since I've healed you." Myria says sternly.

 

"Is there any more...'Guardians' I should worry about?"

"I honestly can't form an opinion about her yet."

 

"Not with us. There are Forest, Death, Fire, Water, Air and Earth guardians. The only ones we're missing are air and earth, and they're mostly harmless." Artemis says happily.

 

Kailee pauses, contemplating, before exhaling a wall of fire into the sky, growling.

She takes a step towards Myria, shaking her head before taking a deeper breath.

"She is that torture your tome puts me in... do I have no right to end her?!"

 

"And I'm guessing Katie is water, and Abigail is fire?"

"You can, if you have a deathwish!"

 

"Now, now." Myria says, raising a hand. Kailee feels herself become calmer, her aggressive will being sapped away.

"Correct!" Artemis says, smiling.

 

Cecil sighs. "Sorry, Kailee is being really aggressive to Myria."

 

"Why's that?" Artemis asks, mildly concerned.
