Suddenly, a black haired wizard wearing a prototypical Neon Outfit and a metal pipe on his back dashed into the room in what felt like an instant. “Gale?” The trainee asks, shooting him a sly look. Ignis rolled his eyes, "Admit it, you're an idiot." As for the rest of you," he gave Aly a pointed stare, "I ask that you respect my choice and help Jade, not turn her down due to past mistakes - you have all made a lot of them, Storm especially." As for you being a trainee, I've waited way too long to make my choice, and I trust that you'll do a good job of it. Greenheart sighed, "Jade, please don't call me that. “‘Wow, Jade, you’re so amazing!’” The hybrid mimics, slapping her scar harder this time and shooting Gale a look. Any more thoughts on Jade being a trainee? Yes? No?" Storm spoke up, looking a tad flustered, "I think this is a good time to bring this back on topic. The fairy eyed Jade in displeasure, hissing only two words, "Shut. If you don't shut up, I'm performing exorcism on you. "Tell her to call me by my name every now and then." Something came to rise in the deepest corners of Gale's mind- a very monotonous, yet spiteful voice. “Alright.” Jade examined her scar for a second before asking her next question, her tone significantly softer and more careful. not as often, admittedly." Gale responded somewhat snappily, not wanting to continue this conversation. “So you haven’t?” Jade asks, slapping the scar on her wrist. The void-tainted scars writhed in apparent smugness at Gale's emotional distress.ĭylan tried to determine if he should be amused or wary of the increasingly agitated Gale. The Ivory Fairy muttered something scarcely intelligible, somewhere on the range of "none of your business". Hands curled into fists, and his tail lashed with more aggravation, "What do you mean have I heard anything from the elementals? I have to tolerate their chatter every day!" “I would assume there was some note… what with all the element/Warden chaos recently.” But have you heard anything from the elementals?” Jade suggested tentatively. Now, do you mind not using me as some sort of elemental plaything?" His tail lashed back and forth, showing his annoyance even further. Gale sighed with visible frustration, "As usual, she doesn't care unless you do anything crazy. “What is it?” The hybrid insists, fiddling with the relic ring on her finger. The fairy didn't answer, shuffling his feet instead - uncommon for him. “Gale, does the element of Earth approve?” Jade shot a sideways glance at the Astral Warden, but didn’t question his empty gaze. Nothing could fill the gaping hole in his heart. He shivered slightly at the cold, devoid of any curiosity as to what caused it, as well as lacking the motive to bring it up.Ībner noticed and gave his shoulder a slight squeeze in an attempt to comfort him, but the touch felt empty the Astral Warden, as well as everything else. Lucas had fallen more silent than what was lately usual for him at hearing the implied name. Yeah.” The hybrid murmurs, staring at the ground.īeyond the veil, a soul watches indifferently at his mention.Ĭold fills the tangible room, however,- sub-subconsciously summoned by the dead Ice Warden. Who do you think was Warden before-" She cut herself off, suddenly looking discomforted. Gale buried his face in his hands, "Please don't bring that up."Īly, meanwhile, crossed her arms, "I'm not new to this. “And you’re new to this Warden thing too.” “Gale’s my scar twin! He won’t kill me.” Jade retorts. Storm and Sea both looked at her alarmedly, being in earshot. But I’m good at Earth magic, have experience, and Greenie chose me.”Īly sighed exaggeratively, "Well, I guess we can tolerate her." Then she muttered under her breath, "Besides, as soon as she slips up Gale will kill her anyways." I know I’m, ah… not the most mentally stable. The influence of the nothing still remains. "I mean, you guys could be a little bit more kind to her about this," Samantha suggested.
"Off to a rocky start already, huh?" Chase commented. “Look, so long as you don’t bring those elemental monsters around me I’ll be fine.” “And you’re better at Earth Magic?” She grumbles. Ignis looked at the hybrid in distaste before adding, "I'm not sure choosing someone who's gone insane twice was a good idea." “Oh my…”Īly glanced at Greenheart, "Jacob, are you sure you were in the right mind when you chose Jade?" “Did you have to pick her now? Elemental balance is-“ Meanwhile, an old man smiled at the other’s shock. ”You? A trainee? That’s shocking.” A cyborg interrupts. Why do you have to be so surprised, Aly? You just became Ice Warden, why can’t I?” Parental guidance is suggested, especially for children under thirteen years of age.Ī hybrid scowled. It is generally suitable for most audiences.
