The first time I began to understand how my family worked was a day of horrible tragedy, that day me and my mother were at the markets on the rafts. My life at the time was lived while ignorant, at the time I was twelve it was quite the ideal day it was very calm not a cloud in the sky. My mother was humoring me as only a parent can, until I heard one of the other Rafters utter the word "Witch" towards her. - Sebastian Atruis-

At night we had a normal family almost except for during stormy nights. Mother was always strange father called her a storm dancer, when there was a storm she would go on the rafts and dance her faithful Starmie always kept the rafts around her stable, one night I remember she was dancing during a very strong storm there were large waes but none seemed to even come close the her. An aura was visible around her as she danced the waves almost matched her movements.-Vivian Atruis-

When I was young my whole family seemed to revolve around my older sister. She was and award winning contest participant, every time she came home she always brought some form of trophy or ribbon and she was always showered in attention every time she was around I always faded into the background no matter what happened. -Nora Helios-


As Sebastian approached the new encampment of people one of th males looked up and at him. The young male stood from his spot, Sebastian noticed that there were three people in the small group, two males and a female.

The young male that had stood started to walk towards Sebastian, he had short curly brown hair, and warm dark brown eyes. He wore a light wash denim jacket, under that was what seemed to be a plaid button up shirt it held close to his fit body, he also wore deep blue jeans that we tucked into work boots.

He smiled at Sebastian then said, "Hey, I'm Gaberiel, you can call me Gabe though, I take it you were thrown out of the poke-center as well." The young man chuckled while he smiled warmly.

"I'm Sebastian, and not exactly me and my companions-" He said that part and paused a little he was unused to having companions and the fact had just hit him. "We prefer being outdoors I guess." Sebastian trailed off though he usually wasn't nervous for some reason he was.

A voice broke Sebastian's thoughts before they developed further, she was a thin tanned woman whose electric blue eyes were almost empty. Her hands which she kept on her hips were covered up to the elbows in bandages except for the fingers so they almost functioned as gloves she also wore a white tank top and black camo pants that covered part of what seemed to be combat boots. She had a sweater tied around her waist. "So then you guys are competition as well, I saw your match earlier Psychic boy." Her smile was almost grim as though she thought she had some form of advantage.

Sebastian immediately frowned at the use of the term Psychic boy, as it was used with the same negative connotation as another word. "Not that there is anything wrong with that type choice right Yekatrina?" The last male asked, he was dark skinned and lean he was also quite muscular. His hair was white in color and pulled back into dreadlocks that were tied into a ponytail, over that was a grey bucket hat. He wore baggy grey trousers and black fingerless gloves, a white cloak was kept around him though it was open and much of his body was exposed.

The Yekatrina; the girl, glared a little at the other male, "Shut up Holman, no one likes you." She punches his arm lightly obviously not meaning what she said.

"You know you can call me Nathan right?" He jokes back at her. Gaberiel smiles at Sebastian again then asks "Hey why don't you and your companions come over here it would be a more fun time together I'm sure of it." Sebastian can only nod a little, as he felt as though he couldn't speak.

"Then I'll come with you to help you move your stuff around." His smile widens and Sebastian can only show Gabe to his camp.

"So what brings you here for the contest, why are you competing." Gabe asked suddenly as the two walked through the forest, Sebastian took a moment to process the question and then quietly responds.

"I guess I'm doing this to prove something." Sebastian's answer surprised even himself, Gabe looks at him curiously but decided to instead say. "I joined cause I love the feel of battling and I wanted inspire others young kids like I was."

"Inspired by battling?" Sebastian asked Gaberiel as he chuckled slightly bemused, "Yes, when I was a kid I would always go to watch the gym battles of the gym leader Clay in my hometown. When I turned thirteen I decided to go and collect some badges of my own I never actually fought Clay, I wish I had though."

"Well maybe you will one day." Sebastian said with a small smile on his face. The fire light from Sebastian's camp approached quickly as the two boys made other small talk. When they reached the camp they both saw Nora lighting a new cigarette and Vivian packing up supplies.

Without any indication Vivian slung a bag over her shoulder and motioned for Nora to follow,vSebastian smiled at his sister's preparedness. While Gabe only stool there confused as he thought they wouldn't be ready so he asked, "How did you-" Vivian answers for him, "Just a suspicion." And with a smile she hands him and Sebastian some of the travel bags likely hers, his and Nora's.

And then she began to lead them in the direction of the others and the camp a smirk on Vivian's face.
