Raina, Rinoa and Amaira's side:
Raina
grew impatient and went outside. Unbeknownst to her, her love Itachi
had wandered by to see her after being on countless missions with
Akatsuki. He took one look at her pale complexion and balled his
hnads into fists. "It happened again, didnt it?", he said
through gritted teeth. Raina nodded and sighed heavily. With Raina
re-telling the story in every damn bloody detail, Itachi's anger grew
immensely and he punched the nearest tree until it became toothpicks.
"I swear I will not rest until you are back in my arms."
Raina shook her head and warded him off. "No, I will come
back when it is my time, and it is not my time yet. So damnit all,
Itachi. Be fucking patient. For my sake as well as yours."
Itachi folded his arms and sighed .
"Fine, I will, but I
will find whomever is responsible and kill them." Raina let out
an annoyed sigh and tugged at her pale white hair harder than ever.
"Augh! I swear if one more thing goes wrong, I'm gonna go into
that white light and blow heaven to hell." At that she turned to
find Amaira and Rinoa putting things into bags, readying for the trip
to Advina's lair.
"So, how are we going to make this
trip?" she asked. Rinoa held out her hand, then took Amaira's.
"If he's going, you're going to have to hold on to him
tightly with all your power, cause I have never attempted it with
this many people before. Raina raised an eyebrow.
"Attemted
what, damnit?" Rinoa laughed a bit.
"Did you forget
that I can teleport? Little left over ability from my time with the
gypsies over in Bucharest. Though I dont think I have ever skipped
over an ocean before..."
Raina looks worried for a
moment, but Amaira just shakes her head and tells her it is time to
go...they will revive Raina in the best way she knows how.
Wondering what that means, she takes Rinoa's hand, then looks to
Itachi to see if he is going to come...when he nods, she takes his
hand and prepares for Rinoa to botch this terribly and land them in
Siberia. Reading her thoughts, Rinoa frowns, but then closes her
eyes, prepared to start, when suddenly the door bursts off it's
hinges. They all turn to look, and before them stands an imposing
woman with dark hair and bright purple eyes.
"Advina...", Amaira gasps, just before the woman brings her staff around and lets loose with something akin to a thunderbolt. Amaira tries to grab them both, but only catches Rinoa as Itachi has already pulled Raina away, but to no avail. Raina takes most of the hit from the bolt, which leaves everyone else reeling. The room fills with smoke, and then just as quickly as she was there, Advina was gone. As they all get to their feet, Raina realizes that she is, in fact, alive.
"HOLY...LOOK! I'M REVIVED!" she screams,
hugging Itachi, who is looking at her strangely. Then she notices so
are Amaira and Rinoa.
"WHAT! Do I have a second head?"
Rinoa and Itachi stare dumbstruck, as Amaira begins to laugh.
"Ahhh, yes. Advina screwed up her own curse this
time...instead it became a blessing."
Confused as to what
she means, Raina scratches her head. Amaira, still smirking, hands
her a mirror. Suddenly Raina sees what all the looks are about- she
has wings! Not only does she have wings, but her hair and eyes
have changed...to black and purple. Rinoa comes over, looking
weary.
"It's ok, we'll fix it"
Raina waves her
off..."Fix it! Hell no! I'm a freakin fairy! Why would I
want to fix this!" she says as she flutters her wings. Amaira
just shakes her head.
"Yes, it would seem Raina's desires
overcame the magic...and she got exactly what she wanted."
"To be an overgrown insect?" Rinoa wisecracked. As
Raina whacked her, Amaira laughed.
"No...to be alive and to
be a fairy...but Rai...you will have time to play with your wings
later, we must go." With that and a nod, they all joined hands
and began the final part of this journey to save a sister's soul.
