Happy new years my lovelies! So, I know that I'm late on everything, but I'm trying to perfect it all. Ok, no, I'm writing my own novel and have a job and blah blah, I need to get back to Phantom Age... I could make the time skip last as long as the hiatus. Anyway, I bring you a gift. It's a little drabble about everyone's favorite homunculus!
As she flew across the sand on her way to the next town, Elle felt the chill of her ghost sense and tensed, looking around. A large spot of green was racing in the direction of the surprised ghost girl, spurring her to speed forward faster than before. The sand was kicked up from how fast she was going when it caught up to her, and a cloud of the stuff blocked the face of whatever was now pinning her down from view. Ready for a fight she sunk through the ground and rose up five feet away with an ectoblast charged in her palm and illuminating the area.
When the dust cleared, Elle was met with a dog. It was twice as tall as her, probably ten meters long, and had teeth like daggers with claws as big as her hands. But it was still a dog, and Elle couldn't bring herself to hurt a dog unless it actually attacked her. "Hey there big guy! Who decided to release the hound?" The dog looked up from its paws and stared at her, tail wagging rapidly. "Aw you're a big ol fluffball aren't you?" A flick of her hand and the peridot energy ball went flying off, the hound following after with much happy barking.
Laughing for a bit, Elle continued on her way. It wasn't until she heard barking, five minutes later, that she paused. "No way, is that the same dog?" Sure enough, the very same ghostly hound bounded up to the ghost girl and tackled her down, licking her face into a slobbery mess. "Aw, ew, there's so much of it!" She pushed the animal up and off of her, turning intangible to get clean. "Once is a coincidence, twice is suspicious. Are you following me?" She patted the dog's head and gasped when she felt excitement, fun, friendship emotions that she wasn't experiencing herself. "Oookaaay… new ghost power. Lovely." She huffed and slumped against the side of the hound, eyeing its neck to see if there was a collar there she missed. "That last shaman did say I have a way with animals, but I didn't think she meant ghost ones too." Elle's eyes glowed a brighter green as she covered them in a lens of energy, searching for anything made invisible by ectoplasm. It was a trick that Vlad had taught her before sending her off to get Danny and it still came in handy when a ghost decided to attack near her.
"You don't have a collar, and yet you followed me out here. You lookin for an owner big guy?" She was answered by another full body lick and friendly nuzzling.
Letting out a sigh and a laugh she phased clean before flying quickly around the hound's head. She drew a line with her finger that traced his neck and focused. The green line became darker, thicker, filled with ectoplasm. She placed her left hand on the ground and pulled growingflowingwooshingroaringsurging energy from the earth. Pink sparks flowed from the ground into her hand, through her heart - not her core - and into the collar, she was making. Pink and green mixed together, contrasting and agitating each other until they solidified under her command. A tag in the shape of a bone hung at the end of it.
Fido Phantom
If found return to Elle Phantom
"Your name is now Fido." She let out a tired breath and fell back against the dog. "And I am Elle, a very tired halfa who shall be sleeping now." A few minutes of rest couldn't hurt, right? She returned to human form and let her fingers dig into the sand, eyes slipping closed. Fido, for his part, remained still and settled for her to rest against.
My little Elle is the princess of animals and plant life. so basically, major life forms. not ones of her own intelligence levels or above of course but ya know. anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR let's see if I can pump out any new chapters!
