Fairy Ring

Chapter 2: Crush

Syl's POV

Why aren't they talking? Sure, I asked them to shut up but not forever! I really hate the quiet. Oh no, did I say something to offend them?! Wait, calm down, Sly Sylvie Syntrivi does not panic! Get a grip! Oh, but what if I reminded them of something horrible. No! keep it together Sylvanas! Just because you don't interact with others a lot, are more than a little off kilter, and are ever so slighty terrifying does not mean that you automatically drive off everyone you so much as glare at. Analyze the situation.

Needs: Shelter, First-aid

Alies: Celestial mage, Re-equipper, Celestial spirit

Condition: Celestial mage is in need of serious medical attention, Re-equipper is bruised, but otherwise fine although she is magically exhausted, Celestial spirit is completely fine and magically fresh.

Me? I'm fine. Magically, only about one-third charged, but I'm fine. No need to panic.

"It's getting late. We should make camp."

Okay, camp? Yeah, I can do that.

Needs: Shelter Priority: Apha

Let's see what materials we have to work with here. Rocks? Useless, Forest? Trees! Yes, I can work with trees. Crush the trees and use the limbs to make a tent, simple. Okay, I can do this. I walked for a few more yards into a clearing and turned to face the rag-tag bunch of mages behind me.

"We'll make camp here. Stand back and cover your eyes. Shrapnel damage would not be ideal right now" Or ever.

Whipping back around to face the trees at the far end of the clearing, I raised my arm, palm out, arm extended, elbow slightly bent to handle the recoil. Now, Crush. The tree bent at the first impact of my magic energy, then quickly snapped apart in a shower of twig, bark, and branches. I love my magic, and the science behind it. You see, the basics of Crush magic is a mixture of speed and sound. If you end up going fast enough you break this thing called the sound barrier. Now, the sound barrier is the speed at which sound becomes solid, touchable, Impactable. What Crush does is takes these sound waves and pushes them forward breaking, shattering, crushing everything in it's path. A gasp escaped from the celestial wizard's small lips.

" What the hell was that?" It seems I startled the Re-quipter.

" Crush magic. I've only ever heard about it." Oooh I like the spirit! She speakes with the proper awe befiting one who has seen the wonders of Crush for the first time, unlike that bratty Re-quipter. Honestly who reacts to seeing the strength of sound by saying 'what the hell'? So uncultured...The re-equipper has quite a mouth on her too. Are her parents aware of this? I hope they are, so they can do something about it. Do people still wash children's mouths out with soap?

"Gather the wood, we will make a tent."

For the next two hours I snapped trees like twigs while the re-quipter gathered what I broke and the spirit tended to her master. That reminds me, I should proably give her the key I... acquired. Hey, don't look at me like that it was shiny! Anyway I called out the spirit bouned to the key once, took me almost all my magic energy - Note to self: don't try to use any magic other than your own unless you want to be completely exhausted for a week after. Yes, I believe he would be good for her. Once we had enough materials to built a decent sized tent, I reversed the magic iIhad used on the limbs, drawing my magic back to make a flawless shelter.

" Nighttime children, into the tent,let's go."

I shimmied into the farthest corner of the tent,looked back at the other girls who were standing there and raised an eyebrow.

" Well? Are you witing for a written invitation?"Actually I think I have some invitations in my back pocket if that's the issue, though I don't think any of them have come into the tent written on them... oh wait they're moving. The re-quipter, Val I think her name was, scrambled to get inside, while the spirit heaved her mistress up and carried her over. I heard a quiet protest from the bundle of bruises and broken bones.

"Nini, why are we moving?"

"We're going into the tent that Sylvanias and Valentina made."

"...kay."

I turned on my side and began to drift off to sleep, I was almost asleep when something behind me shifted. And kept shifting.

" Will you go to sleep?!"

"..." Finally quite. Thank Scylla, for a moment I thought I'd never get to-

Shift

"Okay, What's up!?"

" I can't sleep... will you sing to me?"

Well I'm impressed she hasn't fainted yet, what with all her injuries. I suppose..

" Ding dong, I know you can hear me.

Open up the door, I only wanna play a little.

Ding dong, you can't keep me waiting!

It's already too late for you to try and run away.

I see you through the window,

Our eyes are locked together

I can sense your horror

Though, I'd like to see it closer

Ding dong, here I come to find you.

Hurry up and run,

Let's play a little game and have fun!

Ding dong where is it you've gone to?

Do you think you've won?

Our game of Hide and Seek has just begun!

I hear your footsteps,

Thumping loudly through the hallways.

I can hear your sharp breaths.

You're not very good at hiding.

Just wait you can't hide from me! (I'm coming!)

Just wait you can't hide from me! (I'm coming!)

Just wait you can't hide from me! (I'm coming!)

Just wait you can't hide from me!

Knock knock I am at your door now.

I am coming in, no need for me to ask permission.

Knock knock I'm inside your room now.

Where is it you've hid?

Our game of Hide and Seek's about to end.

I'm coming closer,

Looking underneath your bed, but-

You're not here, I wonder..

could you be inside the closet?

Ding dong, I have found you!

Ding dong you were hiding here!(Now you're it!)

Ding dong, finally found you, dear! (Now you're it!)

Ding dong, looks like I have won!(Now you're it!)

Ding dong, pay the consequence"

When I looked back at the Celestial wizard, she was mercifully asleep.

"Good night my darlings, sleep tight."

Val's P.O.V

I'm stuck her with crazy people! Kali protect me...
