Lightning storm in the forest(Hyacintha and Snow)

(Sorry. Should be 6 pierce damage to shadow in there. )

Following stat goes up by 5:

Blaez:

Rose:

"Hm... there is not much up ahead, i think i saw another room back there."He said point with his thumb to the direction they came from, it might be worth checking out, maybe they would find more clues, or even one of the entrances to the castle, most likely that he would find nothing there.

The two looked a bit tired... He had to heal them. Without thinking twice Blaez would summon Bahamut to heal the duo, but it seems that just healing one was enough, once he was done casting the spell on Hyacintha, he would look at Snow and see that he was healed too... That was odd, he should have noticed before, Snow could use his abilities without summoning a persona... Curious... One thing he was sure, those two were bound together, if one would feel pain, the other would feel the same, so if one died, would the other die too?...Not exactly a pleasant thought, he didn't wanted to find it out either, having the two dying while they were working with him would be just bad, he would feel guilt if that would happen.

"There we go, sorry for that..."He apologized the two for dragging them into the fight, it didn't helped the two much, but at least he learned about their powers"I noticed something, you two don't have a persona... Yet, Snow is capable of using his abilities...I'm curious..."He said, Blaez looked genuinely curious about their ability, the only person he knew who could cast skills without a persona was Israfel, but the guy was an Angel... He had to keep an eye on those two... they were quite unique when compared to the other supernatural people he met until that point.

"Let's get going."Regardless if they chose to explain or not, Blaez would wait for them to be ready and lead them to the place he was talking about, maybe they could find more clues there... Maybe they should go back after checking that place, if this father is indeed an angel, they are not ready to fight him, and those two had nothing to do with this angel war, dragging them into it sounded wrong, it was his fight not theirs.

"This father might be dangerous so once we find to reach him we are going back, i don't want to drag you two into this."He sounded serious about, he didn't cared if they would like it or not, it was for the best retreating with them.

Actions:

With a strange sound the horde toppled and vanished into the black smoke that all dying shadows vanished into. Their dying energy easily flowed into Snow allowing him to grow slightly in power, but that was all. With no more enemies to worry about he automatically went over to Hyacintha who was still trembling in her down position. She was terrified, but had survived. That was a step in the right direction at least.

Snow was about to comfort her, but instead found himself watching his trembling owner in amazement as some form of healing magic took over her. As she healed, he healed too. Bowing his head lightly he would glance over to Blaez.

“Apologies are not needed. We came to explore and train, so no harm done. I am just glad you aided us,” Snow said quietly before turning back to his owner as she got up. She stood on shaky legs, but was easily supported by her calmer shadow. She had heard Blaez’s pry into what they were.

“We are one in the same. Despite genders and personalities…Snow and I are two sides of the same person…” Hyacintha began in a trembling voice. “He is…he is me…my shadow…It took a while, but after that battle that bit of memory came back to me…”

Her voice was soft as she did what she could to pull herself out of the fog the confusion had caused. As she steadied herself, she would look over at Blaez.

“Thank you for healing us, but what about you? Are you okay?” she asked her voice a bit calmer than before as she looked at the other. He had taken a beaten too, so why did he choose to heal them over himself?

A curious thing, but one that the pair would not press too much as they moved towards him. When he spoke of next steps. Hyacintha would give a light nod as she bowed her head wondering if it was because she was too weak that Blaez had decided to choose this path. Whatever the case was she would go along with the plan and Snow for the most part had not reason to object. So when Blaez moved, they would move too following.

Hyacintha wondered as she trailed behind Blaez if maybe she could take a fairy with her to at least remember the small time spent here and this meeting with Blaez. At least that would make things brighter right?

Action:

"Your... shadow?"So people have their own shadows?That raised more questions than answered... Now that they mentioned it, he does remember have heard something like that before, but that memory was too vague... he could be just imagining it... One day he was going to find out why his persona is like that.

"Hm?I healed myself during the fight, besides, you guys took more damage than i did, so you two are my priority."Blaez didn't sounded so stern as he was at the beginning of their exploration, fighting together does make you bond with the person in a weird way.

"Damn it..."Nothing but more fairies in that area, that was disappointing, he doubted those faeries would know more than the previous group they found"I think this is enough for today, let's go back."Blaez wanted to investigate some more but it looked like it would get him nowhere , returning to their world was the right thing to do.

"Are you two ready?"Blaez would wait for the girl and her shadow get ready before taking his path back home.

Movement :

OoC:

“Yeah…it is kind of hard to explain, but…I know for a fact, he and I are one,” Hyacintha said as she remained by Snow who remained more or less quiet during the chat. When it came to Blaez’s injuries, Hyacintha gave the other a light frown not really approving of what he said, but after a moment, she would sigh lightly.

“Alright. Just be careful. I don’t want you to get even more hurt trying to protect us,” she said softly taking note of the more relaxed tone the other spoke in. Had he perhaps gotten a bit more use to them then? If so then perhaps they could train again some day or maybe hang out on the other side? It was something to poked at later, but for now they needed to focus on this place.

In any case, they would enter the next area only to find more fairies floating around. Blaez didn’t seem to want to bother with them, so as he turned to leave, Hyacintha paused in the area as she moved from Snow’s side and looked around the area for a moment. When she found a container like object, she would go to the fairies and try to convince one of the small being of leaving its world and coming to stay with her. She wasn’t sure what would happen if it did agree, but she honestly wanted a small fairy to take back with her.

Whatever came out of that endeavor was left up to Fate. In any case, with or without a fairy, Hyacintha would return to Snow and Blaez.
When asked if they were ready, Hyacintha would nod lightly.

“I…suppose so. I don’t think we can find any answers to the problem here….So let's go back,” she said trailing off. While Blaez had advised against the whole Father thing, Hyacintha was determine to keep her promise to the faries. Alone or not, she had to find the answer to the fairy's problem. She had already made a deal with them and to break their little hearts? Oh the thought was unbearable. Still she managed to keep the secret hidden within as she began to follow Blaez back down the path and towards home.

Movement:

"Thanks for the help, i think i own you two one."He said with a small smile on his face, some small talk would make the walk less boring"I could pay a meal for you guys..."Snow was a shadow though, maybe he didn't had to eat at all"...Does Snow even eat anything?"He asked, it was an interesting subject.

Movement :

Hyacintha would walk slightly ahead of Snow, skipping along and humming despite her earlier depression. She would pause to examine some of the wild flowers before picking two and hurrying back to the other two. Snow submissively bowed his head allowing her to stick the flower in his hair before watching as she skipped over to Blaez’s side with the other as he spoke.

“No, thank you,” she said with a giggle as she found a way to pin the flower on Blaez’s shirt. With that task done, she would skip ahead only spinning to face the other as she walked backwards a bit when he spoke of food.

“A meal? Well, you really don’t owe us anything, but….I know I can’t turn down food. So I say we are in! Just give us a time date and location and we can find a way to work it in any scheduled things we may have!” Hyacintha said happily as she continued to walk backwards for a few seconds before spinning back around to face forward once more as she began to hum and walk at Blaez’s side.

Snow watched the pair, but didn’t seem to mind as much that his master walked with the boy. After all, he had proven himself quite strong back there, so he saw the boy as alright in his eyes…that was until he asked a question that made the shadow’s brow twitch a bit.

“…I eat many things including humans…” the shadow would respond in cool tones a heavy hint of sarcasm underneath that showed he really didn’t mean the words, but at the same wasn’t going to hide the harsh realities of what a shadow could eat. Not even to please his master who gave him a disapproving pout as she looked back at him. He would look away moody as always as he continued to trail behind the too.

It was true though. Some shadows really did eat human flesh, but if this one understood where Snow was coming from then, he would also understand that Snow was giving a yes to the question in his own twisted way and really had no plans to harm him. Still, the way the other interpreted the words was his business. Snow would just deal with the reactions that came.

(Still following Blaez btw.)

"A... Flower?"Blaez looked surprised once he noticed the flower, he didn't disliked it, but it confused him a bit"Uhm... thank you, Hyacintha."He gave the girl a small smile, he was going to keep that flower"I wish i had something to give you."

"We will talk more about it once we get out of here, i just need a way to contact you."Hyacintha looked excited... she always looked happy, so it was no surprise that she was up for it.

Snow in the other hand didn't looked so happy, his response to Blaez's question was a bit hostile"Huh... Are we tasty?Maybe you should try barbecue sauce on your humans."He replied Snow with a deadpan expression, he wasn't trying to pick a fight with Snow, but he didn't wanted to show weakness by not replying or be bothered by it, so he just replied with a joke.

After walking for a while, they finally reached the portal, it was time for them to part ways"Once again,thanks for the help."He paused to look at the portal"Let's finish this talk outside, it's not safe here."Blaez would wait for Snow and Hyacintha to go through the portal before leaving.

Movement:

Hyacintha giggled lightly at Blaez’s surprise at the flower. To be honest, she didn’t know how he’d react to the action, but she was happy he seemed to enjoy it.

“You’re welcome, Blaez and there is no need to give anything in return as long as you like the gift,” she said staying in a good mood.

“Hmmm…” she said as she folded her arms and nodded as she thought. “Yes. Staying in contact would be a good thing. We can swap numbers outside of this place. I don’t think I can get a signal here,” Hyacintha said as she pulled out her pink phone and checked it for a signal. Nope. No good. She would place the phone back in her pocket just as Snow made his remark. As she gave him a glare, her eyes would widen in surprise as Blaez responded back to the comment. That….was not good. Surely, Snow would take offense. Oh no! Oh no! Oh –Oh?

Hyacintha would blink as she heard Snow give the lightest of chuckles in response. It wasn’t hostile, but more like the type of laugh someone would give when they respected something someone done. Was this really happening?

“It depends on what shadow you ask. For myself, I rarely eat it and to be honest it is kind of bland. Barbeque sauce might make it better, but I honestly am too lazy to do the work to try that,” Snow said his tone slightly playful despite the information. Huh. It seemed like Blaez had scored some points with the shadow by actually not backing down. Nice.

In any case, the walk to the portal was peaceful enough. As they reached the portal, Hyacintha would nod at Blaez’s words as he went through the portal. Shortly after he was out, Hyacintha would tumble out followed by Snow. Hopping to her feet, she would smile as she dusted herself off.

“Hehe. That was scary, but a bit fun. We’ll have to do that again sometime. Oh yes!” she pulled out her phone again and held it up to try and get a signal. When she got one, she would look over at Blaez with a grin as Snow brushed by him in a gentle fashion to come to her.

“Okay. Next steps, right?” she said.
