#the falconer and the fire fairy//distortion event

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[band-of-limbi]

MIA NO-

(He could do nothing but watch in horror as his sister was practically impaled. Half of that horror soon turned into fury as one minute he was normal, the next he was desperately trying to get to Euphemia in Crimson Scar.)

NO! NONONONONONO…

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ it’s plethora of eyes snapping open, and the ears flicking in response to distant sound. How long had it rested? They needed to get work done.., a braid prodded the fairy awake ]

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ it’s staring off blankly, focusing back on Rene balancing its head on a braided hand. It knew the bird was an unreliable narrator and found slight annoyance in this ]

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ as if to iterate the fairies point, the wolf growled, the eyes darting about, a braid cautiously moving to the top of Rene’s head ]

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ more Rene head pats, the clawed braid returning as the tail flicked. The Falconer moving back to a sitting position, uncomfortably maneuvering so the javelin wouldn’t stab the ground, the search of the witch could wait ]

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[a-fairy-from-flame]

[ forcing the wolf’s jaw onto the ground, in an elaborate motion of tripping the beast, the fairy warily eyed the male ]

“…don’t do something you’ll regret my wolf. They won’t hurt me…stand down”

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[a-fairy-from-flame]

[ peaking her head out of the Falconer’s hold, the bird trilled ]

“..Calm down��I’m sure it’s nothing much…unless...it’s a danger to me…”

…

“Your very hard to decipher..you won’t loose me my dear Wolf…we can snuff out the intruder..before that happens”

[ good…she calmed down, fluttering onto the beasts shoulders , small strings wrapped carefully around the limbs giving the bird full control ]

[ it’s plethora of eyes snapping open, and the ears flicking in response to distant sound. How long had it rested? They needed to get work done.., a braid prodded the fairy awake ]

[a-fairy-from-flame]

[ the fairy drew the wolf back upwards as she warily eyed the sword, ducking a bit for cover ]

“…It’s Rene Falconer..~ a friend.”

..?

“Ah…it’s okay I’ll convey your message”

[ voice swap, changing to a weirdly distorted version of M’s ]

“…the land will go up in flames soon, leave.”

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[abnormality-husbandry]

[ the wolf whined, Ardor…it..no. Do not think about such things. Barking angrily at the bird a sharper whine left the maw at being damaged, shaking itself Aggressively it stamped the ground. Causing an arc of flame to billow out]

[however it missed every individual, in fact the only way the falconer knew where anyone was, was due to the impact of a gauntlet smashing into her head. Courtesy of Mia]

“Hey, Philomena? Plan. NOW PLEASE!”

[but the knight didn’t answer. Perhaps she knew….from the very start.]

“Snap out of it! Plan! I-“

[retaliation. The falconer puncturing the magical girl’s torso with the end of its limb]

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[band-of-limbi]

……what…

(He’s realized something about that fairy…about the…)

…no. Nonononono. No. No that…that can’t…that…

(He has to be wrong. He has to. This can not be happening. He’s wrong. He starts mumbling that repeatedly. He’s definitely wrong…right?)

(He finds himself instinctively reaching out to the closest person there, which is Philomena.)

I’m wrong. I’m wrong I have to be…that…nononono…

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[a-fairy-from-flame]

“…..” [ no response as the bird chitters, before growing silent. Conversing with her wolf internally before happily chirping ]

“We know our limits worry not, I’m sure all will be well once the witch falls. As for the birds of the forest I have no reason to set their cracked trees alight. As the witch hasn’t fled there..~”

[ Footsteps make themselves evident. Rene has arrived, and is wandering. Twilight is held in hand, just incase. Eyes observe the environment... ]

[ a distant tree caught flame, the thin bone ended up in a tip as the beast sprinted forward, towards the sound ]

[a-fairy-from-flame]

There are four abnormalities in the room…one child…you loved the child…do you love me more?

Focus..you are strong my love..

Ardor.

Thank you for taking care of her..my wife I mean

But it’s over now…she’s happy..~

[ a trill left the abnormalities beak. Bursting into flame the tail feather trailed off…well that explains the dungeons state. However the flame was blue…not orange. ]

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[band-of-limbi]

WHAT THE FUCK-

(Ardor’s moment of horrified surprise was immediately stopped by instinctively ducking away from the sudden attacks. As he moved to Philomena’s side…he looked at the fairy and paled.)

…I recognize that…the…the bird…

(He pointed at it.)

…what are you doing here?

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[a-fairy-from-flame]

[ cooing softly in the Falconers ear, the fairy aided the beast back up. Oh…it was them…how painful…how harrowing….moving her wing over the Dog’s eyes the bird whispered softly]

They want to stop me my love…they want me to burn away to ash….

Do not witness them…it’s okay…shshshs it’s okay…

I will guide you…I love you.

[ landing quietly, Mia let go of Florence well surprised at the formerly lush encounter room of the lantern fairy having been reduced to ash and smoke. Remnants of blue flame licking whatever remained. ]

“..this…isn’t supposed to look like this.”

(Ardor stumbled a bit as he landed, waving some of the smoke away from his face.)

…what the hell happened?

[a-fairy-from-flame]

“..I must find her…the witch who sealed my fairy away. Reduce all to ash so we may reunite properly…for when the witch wastes so too will her curse….”

[ the bird exhaled briefly, her voice switching back as the fairy maneuvered back onto the Falconer’s shoulder. ]

“I have watched you for quite some time, you were friends with my Melly. If you needed to aide I would have stepped in at any time.”

“Please don’t impede our search…the city must be hiding the witch…it too must burn…”

“..however I am the fairy called Fay. The wolf’s betrothed”
