The weeks flew by with Lucy's arrival on the Isles.. at first it was jarring for the pair to adjust, especially with Lucy's awakening as half Titan and Eris adapting to her new friend's needs.. it didn't stop them from venturing out as they got more comfortable with.. well.. not just the Isles.

Eris was already dressed up head to toe in nothing but a seashell serving as her bikini top and a satchel at her side, knocking on the door of the room the halfling took claim as her own.

"Guess what we're getting into today!!!" To say she was excited to introduce the other teen to the boiling beaches was a understatement.. luckily the half human found a spa that's not gonna cause severe burns from just swimming in it.. aided by her Solburn lotion of course! Nonetheless, the young woman was excited to kick her soles off and embrace the sun and the beach!

Shopping with a slimy yet fuzzy baby that keeps wrangling out of your grasp with a pair of curious grabby hands touching everything in every aisle- to say the entire chase was stressful, you'd have to be severely underestimating the almighty will of Sol Feargash.

The hooded woman spun a tiny spell circle in the air as the vines emerge (cue the little baby clapping, eyes full of sparkles upon seeing the pretty vines dance) wrapping around the silky Titan and safely dropping them into the halfling's arms.

Eris, on the other hand- the young woman was scrambling to apologize for the mess they've made in yet another store.. luckily for them, they're already in the messiest district they could've found themselves in.. but when its the third shop that week- you start to test some witch's patience.. on some days, it'll be fine.. this doesn't appear to be that day.

So yes! The figure has been observing the pair and their. . . Odd demon.. selkie.. spawn creature for the past weeks watching as they fumble around into integrating somewhat around the rather broken part of the utopia- noted by the tall one with manelike hair frequenting it.. with her special friend with the cloak and staff.. learning that the latter of the pair has fangs and an anger to boot- also noted by the vendors that would flee when they'd come into frame.. nonetheless, they were still undocumented and wandering her kingdom.. all the answers that she could get.. the masked individual decided they'd be better answered directly.

The aftermath from the fiasco earlier caused them to be kicked out! Walking home with nothing but a kelp bottle to soothe the now fussy child- babbling out of frustration because they seemingly had to leave the 'playground' causing them to 'weh!" In the process- grabby hands reaching to be fed by the warm bottle- promptly snatching it from forest girl's hand.. only to whine once more because they weren't being hand fed.. the pair seemed used to it though.. gently humming to the child melodies in the streets.

"Gash, I know the apartment is.. well.. quite quaint but I'm sure it's large enough for a garden! I think Olga would reallyyy appreciate how much of a fresh coat, it'd add to the front.. business will be blooming!!" In time, they were down on their luck until their landlord decided to show the slightest bit of mercy.. albeit strict, Olga has been letting them stay due to them being the only help these days... especially with the alleyway nursing but that's neither here nor there.. the pair was just grateful to be there.

[goldenbeastkeeper] 21 for starter call 2.0?

The pseudo witch was out feeding her griffin before hearing the urgent screams for help- immediately springing into action to find the source.. using her own beast to try and track down whoever needs her the most! (Hiii!)

So for the Wither entity- I've decided they have their own magic system similarly to Titans and Gylphs/Collectors and their stars- they communicate through runes!!! Tho they're primarily rooted (heh!) in plant magic, it serves as both a boost in power and defenses- all Palisman through out the realm are all connected to these runes, it's innately meant for them to come and heal, the oasis serves as a safe haven for those lost or badly injured.. anything with malicious intent gets shredded upon crossing the invisible line. The entity is nurturing and rightfully protective over every creature in it's care- Eris bares the mark on her chest.

Regardless, the source for palistrum wood are scarce due to the Emperor's scouts raiding the forests leaving the lands barren in their wake.. Eris grew into a rather fierce guardian offering no mercy to those that serve the Emperor.. those that would retrieve endangered creatures for his own personal gain- she will never stop fighting.

[erisdiamas]

The witch's cheeks flushed at the at compliment leaning in to twirl the halfling around.

"The other room is practically yours.. and Gully is obsessed with your hair- thinks it a nest." Eris giggled to herself at it all- she felt the warmth and joy of the festival and everyone surrounding it... yet it paled in comparison toward her friend's experience.. it was hard not to admire her for that.

"Home is wherever your soul feels safe.. you're the bravest person I've met, do well not to forget that!" Flashing her friend a face of assurance- hoping to convey that she's with her along the journey.. it ignited a flutter in her gut wanting to tell the other teen that she's gonna be there on her journey.. nothing will tear them apart, the former nobel declared it!

Eris clapped and cheered as the halfling drew the sigil into the sky.. mentally shelfing that glyph away to study later... she's never seen one quite like it and as a witch that specializes in that realm of magic, piquing her interest is an understatement.

"Remind me to add Rat's Rib for the next market visit." Seeing the other teen throughly enjoying the feast being offered at each vendor made her feel warm.. knowing there's no limits or anything to help her immune system adapt to.. it made things a lot more simple.

She found herself floating once more leaning down only to lift her friend up in the skies along with her.. the forest witch let the lights wash over them as she began to hum a sweet symphony.

[erisdiamas]

Holy Titan.

If the witch were unmasked.. you'd see the surprise written on their face- nonetheless, odd magicial ability aside... the knight had a few tricks of their own and that little distraction would serve as nothing but a fancy display.

Thinking on swift on their steeled boots, the Galant rolled out of the way of the strikes using the smoke roaming the area to conceal themselves.. before summoning a clone of themselves in it's place wielding a bright orange twinkle in it's palm.

"Step aside and allow me to do just that then! You're a threat until I deem otherwise! We dont have to do this.. I am giving you the choice, it's up to you to make the correct one." The Galant decided to hold a mirror to the strange.. demon- decided that she needed some reflection directly.. the shards from the broken store glass began to rise and flutter around eachother- forming into a shiny mirage of crystal mirrors!

Eris gazed over at the battle.. letting out their signature whistle.. over the past weeks, they've came up with all sorts of code words.. and if this lunatic knew where they'd go next.. they'd have to flee all over again and this time the forest gem was not letting go easily!

Ducking through the maze of alleyways using the winged Palisman as her navigator of the roofs high in the skies...however the ground was what she should've been watching.. as she was lifted into the air.. suspended with nothing but the child who giggled finding the air to feel delightful to them! All the young woman could do was turn- to face... the Kingdom scout that brought them tumbling down to the 'earth' with a 'swoop' of their finger.

Eyes peered and glued onto every step that the young 'parent' 's took matched with a tightening grip on their staff.. slinking around the streets.. a white fox mimicking the masked one's movements swiftly in toe- crouching in the nearest convenient wall- ready to pounce!

"Nah, Olg? I'd admit the place was a little... orthodox but there's no doubt in my gem that it could've been revived with or without us! You'd never believe it, we managed to get a whole new neighbor after the last paint job- even paid in SLUGS!" Eris had been.. well.. coping ever since losing the forest despite truly feeling a sense of belonging with the others.. she felt quite silly missing the place she once made her home.. the warmth of the personalization.. stars, Betsy- regardless, who's to reallyy blame for the trails of petals that somewhat littered the halls?

"I don't think anybody should be on their own, she seemed almost relieved that she found us!" The tugging at her curls interrupted the thoughts invading her head- the residual 'goop' from the tiny Titan excessive chomping coated the strands.

"You think she's the only one?

Masked up and donned in gold, orange and white- donning nothing but a half crescent kitsune mask popped out of the underground in a twinkle of luminescent light.. the tiny creature with the figure seemed to flow with exactly what the other needed- yipping as the magenta jewel on it's forehead glew as the fuzzy Palisman rematerialized in their gloved palm- multicolour eyes lit up the alleyway.

"I believe a conversation is highly overdue, as your presence deeply boggles me- talking is a obligation.. for the safety of our citizens..I intend to do whatever it takes." Cold words pierces through her tone in place of a gentle facade- glaring at the pair through the holes of the fox mask.. ready to strike and nip at any given movement.

[erisdiamas]

"No.. it was a simple plant spell, in which you succeeded. Morphing them together is advanced, you still achieved the jest.. however.." Eris crouched down and held her palm out as the little snakes slithered onto her hand as she brought it to it's summoner.

"Your magicial properties appear to work differently... I haven't seen any witch let alone demons- be able to do what you just done." She gazed down at the reptiles once more.. their scales even gleamed differently wiggling about in the partfully scorched red grass- remind the forest gem to heal it later.

"I'm very proud of you! It's still a major feat for a beginner, let alone one that just arrived not merely a day ago.. those Trappers won't know what striked them!" The girl bounced in the air with a determined fist towards the dawning sky.. it settled in her.. that this was for the good of the Isles, isn't it?

"Conveniently.. there is! Its a highly advanced seering spell though- luckily for us, I have the ingredients!" It worked in the form of eye droppers providing the caster with 'special' lenses/contacts temporarily yet enough for a complete x ray and analysis.. long term usage has severe effects on the casters however!

Eris took her place along the shoreline once more- "What do you want? What are you feeling.. what are you imagining in your head? Materialize that desire, externalize your fears and let it all flow through the spell circle."

Gully swarmed around her as well- providing the newly realized witch with it's encouraging shrieks.

[erisdiamas]

"I don't think we can go to the beach in my usual rags! I thought I told you last night to rise in the sunlight!" Honestly! You'd think she'd remember by now, especially when the half gem annouced it over a steaming dinner of Rat's Rib!

Eris, however wasn't phased by her nowly fluffy friend's transformation- notably this wasn't the first instance either.. it was also rather adorable to see her fur stand at the peak of her sight.

"I can teach you the basics.. however you're more than welcome to enjoy the sands- the sealife where we're headed aren't as nosy as the ones near the port!" Waving off the concern- the last time the young woman was at sea was to help that Selkiedomus past through.. even then, the poachers needed to be dealt with.

The woman looked through the girl's closet pulling out the poncho they bought together and pulled out a traditional witch's hat.. in white!

[erisdiamas]

Eris on the other hand was almost in total agreement- they were safe for now but imagine those who aren't.. those resembling Lucy getting captured with no one to rescue them in a nick of time.. as long as they're around the cycle of massacre will never end- she found herself filled with a determination to be a complete infestation of their entire gang.

"And it's bothering me they're still out there in hordes! Stars knows who they may target next.. who knows who's bounded while we're here." The girl stood up and towered over the halfling even in the war with her r hair blocking the sun, she extended her hand towards her companion with a hearty smile.

"....How would you like to learn the magics of wild magic?" Gully chirped from it's faux nest seemingly excited by the thought of them doing magic.. perhaps by the thought of hunting the hunters, its time to flip the script!

The forest gem's eyes widened upon seeing the halfling in her human form once more at the door yet something was different in the way she carried herself- it was as if the burden was lessened off her back.

Gully- the beaked Palisman hovered around the pair.. well, surprisingly mainly Lucy.. screeching at her noises that oddly sounded concerned for her sake.. before plopping ontop her hair.. snuggling into it like a nest earning a smile from it's partner.

"...We're just glad you're okay- we could've lost you, Gash. Those are awful cruel witches.. they take joy out of the hunt.. they're the reasons no more Titans roam the surface."" Eris's words sounded soft- as if she was relieved that the halfling would be alright and safe.

[erisdiamas]

Eris, however remained oblivious to the effect she had on the other- proudly displaying the outfit she had on.

"We're going to the beach!" She wasn't fazed by the 'sudden' transformation, she grew accustomed to the half Titan's changes, it was becoming endearing almost.

"It'll be fun!! We could do as the humans say.. 'ride the waves! " Eris tugged on the halfling enthusiastically playing with the fur that kept puffing up.
