#arcanix act

[auroborealis]

Exactly 8 years ago, the song of one of the best fan transformations was released on YouTube (so many memories...) ARCANIX!

Arcanix acts were responsible for allowing me to venture into creativity, and realize that I can also create stories!

I remember checking Lexi's FaceBook every day, looking forward to the release of another Act, it was so exciting and magical, I hope that one day Lexi can produce them again...

to celebrate this date, I decided to make Bryan in his Arcanix form (even though I know that there are only 6 guardian fairies who have this power) he is the fairy Arcanix who has his central power in storms, I tried to do something classic for him and the end result pleased me!

I hope you like it and happy Winxmas to everyone!

oh yeah forgot to update this on sunday because wow

RETURN;DISPEL: after having run away because of a lot of shit (thinking Morell made fun of her fear of the ocean+having her shapeshift ability completely ruined among other things) Rae ran into the forest, met a village of corrupted dudes, promised one that she’d come back with help to clear things out. Kari followed her in, finds her as she’s leaving, startles her and she attacks him, he’s not thrilled about it, she lies to protect the village, he gets even more upset (friends shouldnt lie to each other) and does a 180 personality wise. Raelixia’s concerned because he looks like he’s about to murder someone and he’s acting real weird, Kari tells her to let him go and she says no and attacks him again, this time he retaliates and KO’s her, and then kills her outright. Body is swallowed up by the ground and is gone. Party eventually feels something is wrong, finds Kari but no Rae, they interrogate him, LOT OF INFIGHTING and after all is said and done, Morell knocks Kari out and drags him and an unconscious Kyll out and back to town. Session ended with Kyll and Morell going back to the forest to try and find Rae’s body

Twelve’s Company: 12C made it to Arcanix, they had a fun time at a festival and played a bunch of games, they met Cornelius’ brother, Aurelius, and learned that Cornelius was actually part of House Cannith this whole time. They also find out that the person they watched Shozzah’s father kill while scrying on him was one of Cornelius’ cousins. That’s fun. Party staying at Aurelius’ mansion, and eventually Shozzah’s gf, Elizabeth, finishes running all the way from Passage to Arcanix. She and Sho have a very gay reunion, it’s very sweet and good. They settle on one, and after a little fight after learning that Sunseeker is something called ‘The One’ they get ready to use a teleportation circle back to Sharn

"I could tell you about where your Arcanix is located." Athux offered quickly, seeing the shift. He was about to be killed if he didn't act. One final sway, then he'd try the drowning method. "I've never tried it on a star being before."

Targeted Mistake

This was the day. 

Athux had been spending weeks planning this after learning about the existance of a moonshadow that connected to the star primal, first learning more about this “Ethari” character then finding the town the moonshadow was living in currently. Athux didn’t understand why an elf would want to live in the human kingdoms, even Athux’s old community in Xadia was infinitely better than any human town but it made no sense to think about now as he finished the trap he was working on. Star magic was the rarest form of magic in Xadia, therefore it was unpredictable in what it could do, before, during, or after capture. Especially in the hands of a moonshadow elf. Athux had been running prototype after prototype of this trap for three weeks because of this, and finally he was convinced it would work. 

Now to do the capture…

Despite the moonshadow having connected to star magic and apparently helping stop a dark mage from conquering Xadia among the midst of the sudden rise in deaths last year, there was no visual evidence of this moonshadow. And of course there were two moonshadows in this town. That also took time to figure out, but Athux finally decided the one with long hair was the star connected one. He seemed too aware of his surroundings, seemed to see exactly what was going on. That had to be him. 

And so… Here Athux was, sitting in a bush waiting for the long haired moonshadow to come out of the building he was in. Some human school. The trap was entirely automatic, all Athux had to do was knock out the moonshadow…

School had gone well today, despite it being most of the student’s most hated part of the year where pacing tests and cardio were required. Runaan liked it about as much as his students did, but did decide to join in on their suffering by running the pacer test alongside them. To show he understood if anything. Him and Caden, the fastest runner in class, ended up going head to head for who could go the longest while the rest of the students watched. Despite having shorter legs, Caden actually ended up beating Runaan and surprising everyone. Of course, the trained assassin was getting older but the Caden’s endurance was a pleasant surprise. He would have to give a good reward to the boy next class…

Unfortunately, his thoughts on what reward were cut short as he stepped outside, only to instantly duck out of the way of an arrow in alarm. The arrow deployed a net however, with another arrow following close behind and deploying another net. An enchanted string followed that other arrow, wrapping both nets together. Runaan struggled, looking around for the attacker while pulling his hands away from the magic rope that tried to bind them to the net. Finding only a machine a distance away that was firing arrows and had another one ready. What-

He hissed when the rope suddenly wrapped around his neck tightly and squeezing until Runaan couldn’t breath. He pushed through that to continue struggling, but the rope moved to catch his hands again. His wrists were tied next despite his attempts, stuck to the net unable to move. 

The lack of air was getting to him now, but he pushed on, trying to break the rope. Another arrow. This struck his feet. A blue goo surrounded his feet, and when he tried to move he realized with horror that the goo hardened instantly and he couldn’t move. 

With the rope still working to keep him still, the goo somehow working its way up his legs, and the lack of air, Runaan fell. Struggling as sight was lost to him. Footsteps sounded. He looked up sharply, finding a tidebound holding a cloth in one hand approaching. A smirk on the blue face. Runaan couldn’t breathe, much less talk, but the tidebound began acting as if Runaan was speaking. Or making any noise. 

“Shhh, shhh,” The tidebound practically whispered, taking Runaan by the only full horn the former assassin had left, then pressing the cloth to Runaan’s mouth. The rope loosened around the assassin’s neck, but the first true breath sucked in was through the cloth. The air tasted sweet somehow. Sickly sweet. Runaan’s eyes widened as he felt the effects of a daze coming onto him. He tried to retreat in alarm despite being immobilized, but the cloth was held tighter to his mouth. He was forced to breathe it even when he cut off his own breathing to stop. By that point, however, it was too late. His consciousness flickered out with every breath, until he fell limp, the tidebound being the only thing that saved Runaan from the ground beneath him.

He actually got him. 

Athux grinned, giving a laugh. That actually worked! 

He whistled, calling a horse he had painstakingly bought because of her understanding of commands, to come here. Not long after a brilliant white horse pulling a small carriage turned a corner. Stopping right in front of Athux. Athux used a simple rune to clear the ocean glue, then deposited the unconscious moonshadow into the carriage, using chains he had installed himself to ensure the moonshadow was completely unable to move if he woke up. Then, satisied, Athux removed all the evidence of capture, and took off.

Ethari was anxiously watching the door for Runaan to come home. Having a new horn decoration he wanted to give the former assassin after the last horn cap Runaan had was dented from breaking up a fight between two students. He had closed the shop early even to make sure he could surprise Runaan with this gift as soon as Runaan was home. But it had been an hour. Runaan hadn’t come through the front door. He was probably in a meeting, he supplied himself. But why did something feel off?
