Romance RP

As Helena cast the wind tornado spell, Fiona's body emitted a soft white light as she reinforced Helena's spell, and indeed, the wind tornado was more powerful and furious than before. It was like Fiona could push through her energy throughout the tornado so it ended up more furious than before.

******************

(Coolies, he'll figure out what is wrong with Lycoris. XD)

The shapeshifter sighed inwardly and replied,

Yeah, he needs to check up on her. Well, he told me that he should wake up today so hopefully he really does. I'll go back to his side and wait for him.

Helena's eyes widened in amazement as she observed how much more powerful her wind tornado became and it was all thanks to Fiona's help.  She continued to cast the spell, waiting for Nathan to tell her when it was ok to dissipate it.

****************

(Yup.  XD)

Alex replied,

Ok.  We'll be in the gardens in the meantime, but we'll be back inside before lunch, especially since Lycoris wants me to make her meals.


He smiled and then he gently escorted Lycoris outside to the gardens.

Nathan could see that the spell's new strength was clearly demonstrated in front of Helena so he gave her a signal that it was ok to let it down. Once she did, Fiona chirped happily, asking her if she had done well to help her.

******************** 

The shapeshifter sighed to herself after Alex and Lycoris left, but then she went back upstairs to Matthew's room, hoping he would wake up soon as his help was definitely needed.

Meanwhile, Lycoris followed Alex to the gardens where they could enjoy some peaceful time. She said,

Umm do you think the others were annoyed because I didn't say anything?

Helena smiled at Fiona and said, "Yup, you did wonderfully, Fiona.  Thank you for your help."

She turned to Nathan and said, "I see what you mean about how pets can help spellcasters with their spells.  It's quite useful."

**************

Alex replied,

I think it was more like they were concerned but not upset.  They know you're going through a difficult time, so they're being understanding.  And it's ok, Lycoris.  You shouldn't push yourself to talk.  Just do what feels comfortable for you.

Nathan smiled and nodding, he said, "Yes, and it is even more useful when they show you what they can do for themselves."

Romeo barked happily and going over to Helena's feet, he rolled on his back and looked cutely at her, as though he was asking for his turn to impress her.

******************

Lycoris sighed sadly and after a moment of not saying anything, she quietly said,

Something feels awfully wrong, Alex. I don't know what it is and I-I am scared. 

Helena giggled and replied, "Aww I think Romeo wants to impress me next.  Shall we give him a try?"

****************

Alex looked worriedly at Lycoris and replied,

Hey, what is it?  You know you can tell me anything, right?  Whatever it is, we'll try to figure it out together.

Nathan chuckled happily and replied, "Okay. Take your position, Romeo."

He barked excitedly and getting up, he flew over by Helena's side. Nathan then said, "Well, Romeo might want to show you his special abilities first so let's start with that."

He summoned a couple of enemy dummies and signaled for Romeo to start. Romeo's wings fluttered rapidly and as a soft white light emitted around him, he was able to summon a couple of strong wind tornadoes himself, destroying the dummies immediately.

****************

Lycoris shook her head and replied sadly,

I-I know but the problem is I can't figure out anything myself. All I know is that something doesn't feel right and the thing about my powers going out of control is having me all shaken. I-I am afraid, Alex. I don't want to lose control over myself...

Helena looked on with delight and clapping her hands, she said,

"Wow, that was very impressive, Romeo.  How wonderful you are."

**************

Alex hugged Lycoris and replied,

I'm here and as long as you know I'm here, there's nothing to be afraid of, right.  Do you want me to talk to the others about your powers?  I don't know much what's going on with them but maybe they might.

Romeo barked happily and flew over to Helena's cheek to lick her happily, except that he couldn't make it so high. He gave her a cute puppy look, asking for her to lift him so he could kiss her in gratitude for picking him for her pet.

*****************

Lycoris returned Alex's hug tightly and quietly replied,

It-it might help if they knew. Lady Penelope or the shapeshifter might know more about them, right? The shapeshifter wants them to restore the devils' world after all so maybe she knows more about their nature?

Helena giggled and understanding what Romeo wanted, she gently picked him up until his face was level with hers, so that he could kiss her on her cheek.

************

Alex replied,

Yes, that's true.  I'll talk to them and see if they might know what's going on.  And even if they don't, they could look up information about your powers.  We'll figure this out.

Romeo happily kissed Helena, licking her face lovingly. Nathan chuckled at the sight and said, 

"Well, you have a couple of powerful, loving friends now, love. I have no doubt you're in safe hands as long as they are with you."

*****************

Lycoris nodded and calming down a little, she said,

Yes, yes, we'll figure something out. And you won't leave me until then, right? I need you by my side.

Helena nodded happily and replied, "Yup, that's right.  Not only are Fiona and Romeo wonderful companions, they're powerful helpers, too.  I'm going to take the bestest care of them so they're loved and healthy."

**************

Alex replied,

Of course, Lycoris.  I'm not leaving your side ever.  You never need to worry about that.  


He continued to hug Lycoris, letting her take her time to calm down.

Romeo barked happily while Fiona chirped. Nathan then said, 

"Okay, since you've seen for yourself what Fiona and Romeo are capable of, it's time to move on with your spells as well. We need to teach you at least a couple of new spells today."

********************

Lycoris held on tightly to Alex and nodded, letting his warmth and closure calm her down. She softly said,

Thank you, Alex. I-I don't know what I could have done without you. I'm barely holding up thanks to you.


********************

(I'll bring back Sia and Ryan into the picture if that's ok. XD)

Back in the gods' world, Lisianthus and Ryan had finished having their breakfast at the usual time. Lisianthus then turned to Ryan and said, 

"I want to see Lycoris. Hopefully she's calm down by now. I need to talk to her."

Helena nodded and replied, "Sure, sounds good."

She waited for Nathan to teach her a new spell.

***************

Alex replied,

I'll always be here for you, Lycoris, no matter what.  I'll be be your side always.


***************

(Sure.  XD)

Ryan nodded and replied, "Ok.  Do you feel ok enough to summon the portal?  I really should learn how to do it myself so you don't have to be burdened with it every time."

Nathan looked thoughtful then said, "I think you're strong enough now to learn a bit of weather magic. Would you like to learn how to make it rain? It might not be the most useful spell in a battle but it has its uses."

****************

Lycoris smiled gratefully at Alex and hugged him a little more closely, feeling safe and relieved in his arms.

****************

Lisianthus smiled softly at Ryan and replied, "Don't worry about me, cutie. I feel a bit better today so I think I'll summon it ok although I don't think I'll be strong enough to bring us back. We might have to ask Lady Penelope for help on our way back but we'll see.

And yup, I should totally teach you how to do it sometime. It'll probably be a lot easier for you, cutie. I know magic isn't exactly my strong point."

She giggled a bit at her comment.

Helena nodded happily and replied, "Definitely.  I think rain can be very useful."

She looked on Nathan, ready to learn the spell.

**************

Alex continued to hug Lycoris for a few more moments and then he said,

Now, how about we enjoy the gardens?  They look wonderful today.


***************

Ryan chuckled and replied, "But you cast it well.  Still, it'd definitely be a good idea for me to learn how to summon the portal, too."

(Getting sleepy here so I'll go ahead and get off for the night now but I'll post again tomorrow.  Nite, nite, Love.  ^^)

(Nite, nite, phoenix. ^^)

Nathan nodded and started explaining the spell to Helena, which required that she made good use of both her wind and thunder magic to control the weather and order the sky to rain. He gave her all the details then demonstrated it in front of her, causing a small part of the sky to rain.

He then said, "Ok, why don't you go ahead and give it a try?"

****************

Lycoris smiled softly and nodding, she said,

Ok. Can we enjoy the roses? I remember Ryan showed me white and red roses when we were staying here some time ago.

****************

Lisianthus nodded happily and replied, "We should totally put that on our list-to-do. Then we can take turns on summoning the portal."

She winked happily at him then led the way to outside so she could summon the portal to the humans' world.

Helena nodded and replied, "Ok."

She took a breath and then concentrating fully, she cast the spell for rain, combining her wind and thunder magic.  She made sure to follow all the steps exactly as Nathan had explained and demonstrated, and a small part of the sky did rain although it wasn't a lot.

***************

Alex nodded happily and replied, 

Sure, I can see them right over them.  I'll take you to them.


He gently escorted Lycoris to where the white and red roses were, so they could enjoy them.

****************

Ryan followed Lisianthus as the two of them headed outside.  Once there, he waited for Lisianthus to summon the portal so they could go to his home in the human world.

Nathan nodded to himself as he observed how Helena cast the rain spell. He commented,

"Nicely done, love, for a start. Of course, this is an advanced spell so it might take some time for you to master it completely but you'll do it with practice. With enough power, you can have it raining on all Devenshire if you wanted. Why don't you try reinforcing your magic with Fiona? She'll help you cast the spell more smoothly."

*******************

Lycoris followed Alex to the bed of white and red roses and there, she knelt down so she could touch and smell them. She smiled softly and said,

They smell as wonderful as ever and I bet they look just as beautiful. They're so comforting.


*******************

Outside the castle, Lisianthus took a deep breath and summoned the portal to the humans' world successfully. When she was finished, she stood in place for a few moments, taking deep breaths so she could regain her composure. She then turned to Ryan and said,

"Let's go, cutie. I hope the others are doing ok."

Helena nodded happily and replied, "Sure, sounds good."

She turned to Fiona and happily said, "Let's do this."

She then waited for Fiona to get ready and then she cast the rain spell once again.

**************

Alex happily replied,

Yup, they sure are and they're blooming wonderfully.


***************

Ryan nodded and replied, "Me, too, beautiful."

He gently held onto Lisianthus' arm and then escorted her as they headed towards Ryan's home to check on the others.

As Helena cast the rain spell again, Fiona reinforced her magic with its own, and the sky rained on a wider range and more heavily. Nathan nodded in approval and after the spell was dissipated, he said,

"See? You should make the best use of your pet friends, love."

*****************

Lycoris nodded happily and she continued touching the roses softly with her hands, taking in their beauty and wonderful smell. Doing such simple activities kept her mind distracted and she needed that very much.

*****************

Lisianthus followed Ryan as they walked through the portal and headed to Ryan's home and they made it there. She then waited for him to lead them through the barrier and to his home, hoping inwardly that Lycoris would have felt better by then.

Helena smiled and replied, "Yup, definitely."

She looked to Fiona and said, "Thank you for your help, Fiona."

**********

Alex stayed next to Lycoris, enjoying the roses with her.  He felt happy that Lycoris looked happy and at peace.

**********

Ryan and Lisianthus made it to the barrier and there, he opened the barrier.  Then he escorted Lisianthus inside.

Fiona chirped happily in response, and Nathan smiled at the sight. He then said,

"Okay, moving to the next spell. You already know how you can use the wind to move an object from far, but do you think you can cast the spell on yourself so you can have the wind carry you to another place without using your feet?"

******************

Lycoris and Alex were enjoying the roses peacefully when Lycoris heard footsteps. It was Ryan and Lisianthus who had come to check on the party. Lisianthus smiled as she saw the couple and she looked immediately relieved to see Lycoris, as she seemed to be doing better. She spoke up,

"Hey, you two. It's good to see you here. Enjoying a beautiful morning, hm?"

She tried to be cheerful, but although Lycoris looked peaceful only a few moments ago, her expression changed as she heard Lisianthus' voice and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

Helena nodded and replied, "Yes, I think so.  How far do you want me to travel?"

************

Alex could see Lycoris' demeanor change but doing his best to calm the situation, he said,

"Ahh we're ok, doing better.  Did you come to check on everyone?"

Ryan nodded and replied, "That's the idea.

Using his telepathy, Alex reached out to Lycoris and said,

We can go back inside to our room, be by ourselves if you want.  I-I didn't expect them to come here again so soon.

Nathan looked thoughtful then said, "As far as you can go until you're about to get out of sight. Let's see how well you can do."

***************

Lycoris was a little surprised and telepathically replied,

A-Again? When did they come here a first time?

Unaware of the couple's telepathic communication, Lisianthus smiled at them and said,

"I am glad to hear you're feeling better and it's good to see you, Lycoris. How are you?"

Lycoris just nodded to her, and although she couldn't respond, she didn't know what she would have said if she could. All she felt inside was resurfacing anger and resentment-emotions she tried so hard to keep quiet inside.
