"A mark? She has a mark? Like a birthmark?" Erika says, confused. "Can I see? I have a freckle here!" She points out the almost microscopic dot on her arm.

lailaluckyseal87 • 27 June 2016 at 12:09 PM

"No" Ellie says grabbing her arm. "I-it's to bad. I don't want you to feel grossed out by me." She says relieved that she had an excuse. "It's really bruised and scratched."

"Oh." Erika mumbles,slightly disappointed. "Well, okay then! I'll leave you be. You should probably get that looked at, it could get infected or something..." she trills out the end, whirling around and skipping away, only to trip over and fall on her face. Glaring at the offending root, she gets up and dusts off her knees. "Byeeee...!"

Running into the other trees, she decides to climb one. As she gets higher, she smiles. She feels so powerful whenever she gets high up near the clouds. Or at least, at the top of a tree. Close enough.

The excuse made Celestia narrow her eyes. "I'm not afraid of bad things." Celestia said.

Celestia's words carry to Erika. "It's not eavesdropping, it's information-gathering!" she tells herself, straining to hear the rest of the conversation. Maybe, after she learns more, she'll just...appear and act like she know nothing. Yeah! Good plan.

lailaluckyseal87 • 27 June 2016 at 12:19 PM

"I..." She says awkwardly. She releases the grip on her arm as she thinks of what to say.

"Come on, come on! Spill! What's all this about a mark and stuff..." Erika says, urging with her mind for more information. "Come on! Geez, I'm beginning to think I should butt in again."

lailaluckyseal87 • 27 June 2016 at 12:26 PM

Ellie comes up with a plan and shows them her mark. "I've had this since birth. I'm kind of embarrassed by it because, I just am." She lies. "I have it because it is what helps me use my power and not get completely exhausted every time I do anything, and it links me to nature."

"OH! So that's what it was." Erika murmurs, then scampers down the tree and back to the others. "Any luck on that wound? Are you al right?" She asks Ellie, hoping her fake worry will seem realistic.

reality • 27 June 2016 at 4:47 PM

Anna started to grow some healing herbs. She picked them and said, "Anyone need these?"

@shadow_girl @lailaluckyseal87

shadowtail_flamestorm • 27 June 2016 at 11:23 PM

Kiro narrowed his eyes. Ellie was obviously lying, and evil literally radiated from her wound. 'A nuisance is what the new girl is.' Ignia muttered beside him. Kiro grabbed Ellie's arm. The wound stung his hand. He closed his fist and kept the feeling with him, trying to locate the origin.

lailaluckyseal87 • 28 June 2016 at 8:58 AM

"Hey! Stop it!" Ellie said panicking. She pulled away from him, struggling to free herself. "What are you doing?!"

@shadowtail_flamestorm

shadowtail_flamestorm • 28 June 2016 at 9:05 AM

@lailaluckyseal87

Kiro's eyes flickered. A dark look came to his eyes and he smirked, not saying anything.

lailaluckyseal87 • 28 June 2016 at 9:09 AM

Ellie managed to pull away from him, her arm aching. "Why'd you do that?" she asks angrily. "I never did anything to you!"

@shadowtail_flamestorm

shadowtail_flamestorm • 28 June 2016 at 9:13 AM

@lailaluckyseal87

Kiro blinked nonchalantly, 'I never did anything. It's just that your "mark" looks a bit... suspicious to me.'

lailaluckyseal87 • 28 June 2016 at 9:18 AM

"Well.. It's not suspicious. It's like I told them earlier." she said motioning to Celestia and Erika.

@shadowtail_flamestorm

shadowtail_flamestorm • 28 June 2016 at 9:20 AM

@lailaluckyseal87

Ignia crossed her arms. 'Nope. Not believing you.' She glanced around. 'Nevermind, you're not going to tell us anymore than that anyways. Let's get outta here.'

shadow_girl • 28 June 2016 at 9:38 AM

@shadowtail_flamestorm @lailaluckyseal87

"How did they know I was listening?" thought Erika, but she smiled and pretended not to notice.

"What was all that about? What a creep! Everyone has their own special quirks, do you think he's jealous or something?"

reality • 28 June 2016 at 4:55 PM

Celestia and Anna started to move. Celestia packed up everything and cleaned up all the mess they made.

@panda9983 @shadowtail_flamestorm @lailaluckyseal87

Erika watches Celestia and Anna pack. "Where's everyone going?" She asks, confused. "Can I come?"

shadowtail_flamestorm • 28 June 2016 at 10:32 PM

@shadow_girl @lailaluckyseal87 @niale @pitch1226 @panda9983

Kiro glanced back at Erika. His eyebrows furrowed slightly. 'No. Unless you quit acting like a kid and be mature. Otherwise you'll make a mess out of everything.' Ignia pushed him back to the group, glowering at Erika. 'Eavesdropper.' She muttered just loud enough for the girl to hear.

shadow_girl • 29 June 2016 at 10:35 AM

@panda9983 @shadowtail_flamestorm @lailaluckyseal87

Erika glared at Kiro and Ignia. "Jerks." she murmured to herself. "They're no fun." she bounded off again into the forest, far enough that she couldn't see them anymore. "What's their problem? Everyone was nice except those two." she sulked, climbing to the top of a tall tree. "Well, that's their problem. I'll just do a little bit of tree-climbing."

And she did. Until she couldn't climb any higher.

"How do I get down?!"

lailaluckyseal87 • 29 June 2016 at 10:40 AM

Ellie glares at Kirio and Ignia. "Quit being such a jerk to everyone. Why are you in such a bad mood?" she says, directing her words to them and Corisque.

Ellie glances at Erika and snickers. "Hold on." she says and turns into a large Eagle. "Hop on." she says spreading her wings.

@shadow_girl @shadowtail_flamestorm

shadow_girl • 29 June 2016 at 10:43 AM

@panda9983 @shadowtail_flamestorm @lailaluckyseal87

"Thanks!" Erika climbs on to Ellie's back. "This...is Ellie, right? Right! I'm pretty sure it's Ellie! Hi, Ellie!" She babbles excessively. "Anyways, thanks! Kiro and Ignia are such..." she trails off. "Well, you know what I mean!"

"Thank you!" she skips away into the clearing, laughing. "Riding an eagle is AMAZING!"

lailaluckyseal87 • 29 June 2016 at 10:45 AM

Ellie smiles and turns back into a human. "Well at least one person is worth being around." she mutters to herself. "Anytime!" she yells to Erika.

@shadow_girl

shadow_girl • 29 June 2016 at 10:48 AM

@lailaluckyseal87

"So...friends?" Erika asks, hoping to ally with at least one person. "I don't really know anyone...and...well, anyways! Yes or no?" She bounces up and down with barely contained energy. "Please say yes, please say yes..." she mutters to herself.

lailaluckyseal87 • 29 June 2016 at 10:51 AM

Ellie laughs. "O-Of course we can be friends.." she says feeling bad that she was betraying her.

@shadow_girl Let's wait for the others.

reality • 29 June 2016 at 11:37 AM

Celestia and Anna watched Erika leave. 'She didn't do anything bad, did she?' Anna asked. 'We she was being like a very immature kid.' Celestia answered as they were leaving.

Erika frowns at Celestia and Anna's retreating backs. "Immature kid...(insert unintelligible mutters here)." She turns to Ellie. "Great! Now what?"

shadowtail_flamestorm • 29 June 2016 at 10:53 PM

@lailaluckyseal87 @shadow_girl @panda9983 @pitch1226 @niale

Kiro pulled Ignia aside, lips pressed tightly. 'I'm pretty sure Corisque, whoever he is, branded Ellie. She's probably a spy, and now Erika's in danger.' Ignia crossed her arms. 'So what? She's nothing but trouble. A kid who cannot take care of herself.' Kiro smiled slightly and shook his head, 'Don't be so harsh. She's not like you, living with dragons, huh?' Ignia grinned momentarily, but is soon grim, 'I'll watch out for Erika. After all, it seems like she's sticking with us.'
