Aerolite

Sylph

As Rowan arrived, Sylph felt the anticipation from that morning mounting. Ever since Ember's message, delivered by bluebird, had come with the instructions to meet at Malinda's portal to Aerolite, Sylph had wondered what was going on. They were only called to meetings like these by Ember when there was something urgent to discuss about the Government or the humans, and Sylph hadn't heard anything alarming lately about either faction.

Sylph started as Reed suddenly appeared from the lake. A sharp cry of surprise had left her mouth, something that might have been called a shriek. Instantly cranky with herself for being so easily startled, she shuffled moodily away from Reed and sat on the other side of Aspen and Rowan.

As Malinda came out of the cabin and sat by the lakeside, Sylph nodded respectfully at her. It wasn't necessarily an easy job, guarding the portal. There were always nosy no-gooders trespassing around.

Bored and anxious to know what was going on, Sylph asked aloud of no one in particular, "So, what's going on with the humans? Or is it the Government we're here about?"

[I'm totally lost on where to post. Anyone care to fill me in so I can get up to speed with everyone else?]

Eden's with the government so just follow on from Jasmine Hart's post. They should be heading toward the lake now which is where their sources tell them the rebels were last sighted. So a traveling post would be good with interaction between the characters to start to build character development.

Eden

I stretch out my arms and run forward to catch up with the others. Laurel seems to have been in a struggle. Something about cell phones? I shake my head. Even though I dare not mention my views, I thought human technology was pretty cool.

I soon feel the aching my legs.

"How much farther do we have to go?" I ask. All this walking wasn't fun at all. I wanted to actually do things, like arrest the rebels. I sigh.

Name:Ember
Age:19
Element: Fire
Side: Rebel Leader


Appearance: Pixy-cut red hair, green eyes, often with a mischevious glint. A heart shaped face.


Personality: A fiery, feminist, intelligent leader. She has a short temper but is very sweet once you get to know her. Can be bossy.

Other: Not really up for love, as there is no one her age.

"If you walked faster it wouldn't take so long!" Ember snapped irritably. I decided it was best not to comment. Our leader could be short tempered like that, particularly when we travelled. I think we were all as impatient as each other.

It was some time later when Laurel asked, "Do you think that they will fight us?" She sounded hopeful. I couldn't help but snort and shake my head.

"They'll probably try to run," I said. "We should try to sneak up on them at night and surround them."

"Yes, let's do!" Eden agreed. "Anything to end all this walking. I really don't want to have to chase after them if they get away."

Eden

I smile when everyone seems to agree.
"Thank you for the suggestion, Laurel," I say. "Win-win situation. We win another battle, and then we steal their camp and relax for the night?" I wink, and everyone laughs.

Reed

The sun started to set. Well, this meeting had been a complete waste of time. Aw well. Could've been worse.

"Alright, well if there's nothing else going on, I'm heading to bed", I said. They all looked at me funny. "What?"

"It's just sunset. It's still really early", said Rowan.

"Hey, I was half asleep already, I feel like completing it. Besides, I got things to do tomorrow. Seeya!"

I got up and dove in the lake. I saw everyone else stand up when I was in for the dive. Once I was underwater, I melted into the lake, as I do, and drifted away. Did I actually have something to do tomorrow? No. I was just lazy. But nothing was stopping me from it. Not a thing was going down between us, the humans, or the government, and we had time to chill before anything did. I for one wanted to use it to rest and listen to some music throughout the vacation we had.

I felt a fish pass through me as I finished melting. I was one with the lake, and I had taken myself out to dream land.

*Rowan*

I shook my head as Reed jumped in. I suppose he had the right idea though, there really wasn't anything going on.
" Well, I'm taking Reed's side on this one," I shrilled," I'm heading to the park." The park is where I pratically lived. I even built a little fort there and everything.
Dusting off my skirt, I stood up and stretched.
" Night, everyone!" I jogged off into the woods, chased by a chorus of goodbyes. I started singing quietly as I ran through the forest, my legs already in the rythem.
Thud, thud, thud, thud-
" Ouch!" I fell backwards, my head banging harshly on the ground. Something was blocking my path.
" We got one," someone hissed. I rubbed my head and looked up, my eyes met with those of the government. I scrambled backwards.
" Get away," I squeaked. One made a grab for me and I shot a swarm of rocks forward, hitting one of the government workers in the face. I stood up and headed backwards, throwing out a constant string of rocks behind me.
" Guys," I yelled," Guys, run!" I just hope my rocks were enough to either criple or blind them.

Malinda sighed. These fairies had her rush out here to open the door for nothing. She leaned forward and touched the surface of the water.

"Well, since you guys are all leaving, I'm closing the door." The water rippled away from her finger, and she knew that the water fairy would do his job in finishing it for her. Malinda stood from the lake side and headed back toward her cottage.

"Guys! Guys! Run!" Rowan was running frantically back towards them. Malinda looked over her shoulder at Rowan.

"You guys better listen to her. She seems pretty serious." Malinda opened the door to her home and stepped inside, but lingered around the door to watch.

Brandy

Brandy was so angry, she had practically had one thrown into her hands and she couldn't hold on. She looked at the others, then at Eden. She nodded and they surged forward. "Get them!"

*Sorry, I haven't been able to post. School work overload.*

Eden

I had been expecting the charge. Well, isn't it obvious when someone screams, "Get them!"?Stupid rebels. Anyway, I drew my bow, pointing it at Brandy-the girl who had given the order.

"Don't come any closer," I shouted, "Or I will shoot. And believe me, if this arrow pierces through your skull, you will have died the most painful death of anyone in this war."

Sylph

Sylph heard Rowan's cry of "Guys, guys run!" Immediately, she whirled around in the direction of the cries and started running. She could see the government fairies emerging from the tree line. With a sneer of contempt, Sylph brought her hands around, summoning the surrounding air, and blasted a huge gust of wind at the approaching fairy line. Two of them were hit and went spiraling up and away. The others managed to avoid it and kept on.

Drawing her two gleaming swords from the scabbards on her back, Sylph met the enemy with a fierce cry. This was what she loved; the adrenaline that rushed through her during a battle, the ring of metal, that satisfying feeling of blade slicing through flesh and, occasionally, bone.

"Go you guys!" she yelled at the other rebels. "I'll hold them off."

*Rowan*

"..i'll hold them off," Sylph cried. I stumbled to the ground. The rest were gearing up for battle. What do I do? What do I do? I raised a few rocks wearily and contemplated if I should use them.
One of the governments grabbed Sylph. Throw the rocks you idiot! I stood up slowly and stared at the Governments take Sylph away.
" No," I threw the rocks out blindly, striking the one that held Sylph in the stomach. Sylph raised herself up into the air and became our air force.
Reed emerged from the water and starting fighting. I just stayed in the background, throwing rocks widly.

I hate to ask this, but can someone bring Aspen in?
