DISCLAIMER: I do not own Di-gata Defenders. Greg Collinson and NELVANA do.
C
Adam
Casualty
That man was the closest thing to a friend Adam had ever had. Said man was a young, 19-year old who raven black hair and brightred eyes. With a good position in Brackus's army and apositive attitude emitting off him; Brackus had thought that it would be a good idea for him to train with Adam. Adam had began to work much harder and was eager to go to his training; for he knew that there was someone who actually wanted him around. He and Adam had shared many good times; despite the disapproving glares of the other soldiers that stood around them. This man was caring and Adam had attached himself to him. A small smile would grace Brackus' lips from time to time after seeming how happy his son was.
Though, all good things came to an end.
The words rung in his ears and his mind didn't want to believe them. He felt his heart come to a stop and the colour drained from his face.
"He's dead."
Kara
Catch
There was always a catch.
Always.
Kara stomped upon the ground angrily and threw one of her books against the wall. Sure, she should be glad that she was allowed to leave her "training" to go help the defenders, but she had to conceal herself? Who's stupid idea was that?The defenders were her friends...They would understand that she would have to leave again. At the very least, she should be able to talk to Erik, he was her brother. But, no. She was to remain unnoticed; help them and come back.
Muttering quiet curses under her breath, she began to pack the few items she might need.
There was always a catch.
"Always."
Erik
Careful
Erik had been careful. He had tried. But, that didn't matter, did it? All that was important was the fact that he messed up again. Yes, maybe those events could have been prevented.
"You should have been more careful."
It was simply a small book that had apparently been an important token of generations in a small village. This book had been stolen by a group of thieves and the defenders were asked to retrieve it. Erik had accidentally damaged it and the villagers had not taken it too lightly.
Erik sighed as he looked at his reflection; fingering a long cut that ran across his left cheek.
"You should have been more careful."
The voice was taunting, as if it was mocking him. And mock it did. It brought back memories, of all the other times he had failed. Kara's scream entered into his mind; his eyes turning wide. It was the time when Kara had found his stones lying around and injured herself.
He still remembered the words that Alnar had told him after Kara's sobs finally died down and she had fallen into a restless slumber.
"You should have been more careful."
Rion
Cruel
It had started with Bo.
Said RaDosian, had come to defenders' dojo one day, requesting that one of them be present in a trail for a criminal who claimed non-guilty. Rion had volunteered to go out of boredom; and before anyone could object, he ran off to his stormer.
How he wished he didn't.
The man, frail and too skinny to be 27 was barely able to stand. He was shaking, presumably from the cold; since his only clothes were ripped. His brown hair was muddled and his blue eyes were frantic. He had begged with the judge and protested to no end. He said he was innocent and had a family. Two daughters and one son who would be left on their own since his wife had died a couple of months ago. His oldest daughter was eleven, his son was seven and his youngest daughter was only two years old.
Looking upon the audience of the court, Rion spotted three young children standing side by side. They were wearing teared up clothing as well and looked just as thin as their father. The older girl's hair was black and her violet eyes were red, from crying. The boy was a spin-off from his father, his brown eyes filled with desperation and pleading. The youngest girl had brown hair and violet eyes, which were wide and unknowing to the situation going on before her.
Rion felt his heart being torn in two. He wanted to stand up and plead the judge for him to believe the man. Surely, the judge would understand -
"Guilty."
Melosa
Captive
Being a prisoner was one of the worst things Mel had ever experienced. But, she knew that there were worse things than being kidnapped. And that, was being trapped in your own mind. She had never told any of the others, not wanting to rise any unneeded concern.
It was all Nazmul's fault. When her defences were down, he would attack her mind, cutting off her connection to the real world. He would chase her in her own mind; the one place where she was supposed to be safe. But...He demolished all the walls she attempting to build to block him off. He would enter anyway, taking full control. He would taunt her and mock her and she would have no place to run.
"How does it feel to be captured, Melosa?"
Seth
Commands
That fateful night, in which they had all lost a fateful friend; each defender had been deep in though - rethinking many thing about themselves and their lives. Seth sat silently in his room, contemplating his actions that night. Did he do something that may have been a direct factor in Kara's...death? Did he somehow seal her fate forever?
He had given the command for the others to attack the Rath Marak; which only lead to the creature becoming stronger than before. Maybe if he listened to Erik, then they could have come up with a more efficient plan. And, to make matters even worse, he had allowed the creature to absorb the powers of the Nova Stone. Nothing on RaDos should be able to withstand it's power without some sort of consequence. And Kara had ended up paying with her life.
Maybe, if he hadn't cast the Nova Stone, then she would be okay. Maybe, she would have been able to handle the energy from the Rath Marak. Then, maybe, she would still be alive.
He should have put more thought into that command. This wasn't some sort of training activity that they got an opportunity to mess up. This was real life, and no one could afford another mistake like that. What if he ended up taking yet another one of his friend's lives? What if he ended up killing them all by one, stupid mistake? He didn't want to be responsible for the deaths of people who had become like family to him.
"I'll never make that mistake again."
NOTES :
Adam -
Notes: Sorry if Brackus seems OOC; but we must remember that he is a kind person. We have proof of that in season two. It is only the greed introduced to him through the Order that corrupted him. Besides that, Brackus told Adam in ep. 24 that he was just trying to Adam the best future he could when Adam angrily accused him of never being around (something like that...).And Brackus doesn't seem like the type of person who hides behind excuses; so I think was telling the truth. So, I do believe he would have attempted to make Adam happy.
Kara -
Notes: This is from...The Notes from Underground? The one where there was a town/village/place underground and Mel brang it up with Kara's help. I don't think she'd hide herself from the defenders if it was her choice. And if you're wondering why she was happy then, but not here...Well, maybe she was happy that she got to see the defenders. Or something like that.
Erik -
Notes: In case it isn't clear, I was talking about the time when Kara hurt her legs and then Erik had to make boots for her.
If you don't get the rest of it, just say so. I'll try to explain it to you.
Rion -
Notes: Okay, I know Bo isn't the type of person to go to the defenders for no particular reason, but...Let's just pretend he decided that the defenders should do whatever he wanted them to.
Bo: The great Bo gets whatever he wants!
Me: Shut up Bo.
So, yeah. Or whatever reason you want it to be.
Also, if you think that the judge is being to mean...Well, I don't particularly like him. I'm using the same judge that wouldn't let Erik go when he was arrested. The guy laughed at Mel and Seth after hearing what they had to say about Erik's situation.
*throws random object at judge*
Jerk.
Mel -
Notes: Remember how Wizards have the ability to contact other wizards? That how Nazmul talked to Mel in the Nexus. Also, no, Nazmul hasn't "controlled" Mel's mind. He just enters it and manipulates her. :- Sorry that this one was so short.
...Oh God. One of my sibling's just mistook "Melosa" for "Molasses". -.-'
Seth -
Notes: Greg said before that Seth hadn't cast the Nova Stone, then Kara may have lived. But, he said it it was then that Erik realized the he needed to use the forbidden sigils. So, it was sort of necessary.
