Hope is Our Recourse

[Julma Varjo]

"Hmm, her boyfriend is Lin-sat...a mean clown man who really gets upset when someone takes his girls panties." At this time Julma pulls out the two pairs of undergarments and hangs them up.

"Also, I found out she has good taste in underwear. Oh yea, plus I learned where she lives, where she works and that she does very little but work and spend time with her man the clown."

Julma, lazy and tired as he was healed himself and his energy quickly healed as well.

[Illigitimate God]

Zephyr sighed, stroking her head softly. He didn't speak for a long time. Finally, he spoke.

'Your past is unimportant... what is important, is that you make a new one...'

He embraced her even more tightly. It felt good to have her in his arms again. Even though he knew she was scared, and bewildered. He would stand by her, and he would see her to the end.

'You remember me... do you remember anything about me?'

[Antero Black]

"That is interesting. You did alright. You should go back. It could be your permanent job..."

[Kaieka]

"I remember being carried by you, and looking into your face... that is all."

I cling tightly to Zephyr. His arms feel safe and strong. I am so confused. I don't know what to do.

[Julma Varjo]

"Hey now Antero, you know I dislike clowns. They are just utterly strange and have no purpose just like that fool I had to deal with. But this is one strong clown and by the looks of it you have heard of him. I am not going back unless you tell me about this case here. Once you tell then I will go back but not before." Julma sat back and propped himself up with his elbows.

[Illigitimate God]

Zephyr looks at her hopefully. Perhaps getting her memory erased was not such a bad thing after all.

'...I love... loved... you.' Zephyr said, nearly whispering in her ear. 'Now... I shall protect you until you've regained your bearing.'

He didn't figure that she would regain her bearing. He also doubted that she would remain here with him. She would run away... again... He would be alone...

[Antero Black]

T"Lin-Sat is a mystery. No one really knows what he is. But he is powerful. You should not see her when he is around. But they must be apart sometimes....

I light a candle and stare at the dancing flame.

[Kaieka]

I just stand there in his arms. He will take care of me. That is what I need, someone to take care of me.

I grip tightly to him, and look up into his enigmatic grey eyes.

"I need you. You feel safe. I don't know where I am supposed to go, or what I am supposed to do. Please stay with me, help me know what to do. I am so confused."

[Illigitimate God]

Zephyr just holds her. He would do as he said, and that was protect her. He had her, now. This was all he ever needed. This is all he ever wanted, to take care of her. He returned her gaze, looking into her confused eyes. A semblance of innocence shined forth in her eyes. He felt as though he might kiss her. He moved in closer. He pressed his lips onto her's. He closed his eyes... a warmth drifted through his body. It was euphoria. He wanted to stay here with her for eternity.

[DarithDvelera]

I walk over to the two of them, who seemingly have forgotten a certain dark elf scholar. "I vow to help you too Kaieka, you were the only friend I ever had, and I will never betray you to this fog of lost memories..." I am easily ignored, so I do not blame them for not seeing me there. I adjust my book bag, which seems heavier than before.

[Julma Varjo]

"Yes I suppose you are correct and how I hate it when you are. Very well, I will try to fill in a little about the whole Lin-Sat problem if I can but I will concentrate on Lady Violet." Without another word Julma teleported back inside of the house with lady violet while he was invisible. Now that he had mind block there was no worry about Lin-sat.

Julma quietly put his finger on Violets arm and teleported them to his room.

"Now before you freak out just listen to me and don't go crazy on me. I just want to talk without your little boyfriend. You know, I don't think he likes me much."

[Antero Black]

The movement will not die, dear Simona. I have it all under control now.

I blow out the candle and go to bed.

[Kaieka]

His eyes are deep and hard to fathom... but they have a certain quality that draws me in.

He kisses me. At first I jerk slightly away, uncertain of his motives or if I ever had feelings for him. The softness of his lips and his warmth, however, eases my apprehension. My eyes close and there is a stirring in the pit of my stomach. Something that makes me feel slightly queasy.

someone else talks, and my eyes open and look at him. It is the elf. I feel badly for ignoring him, and for kissing a total stranger. I take a step back.

I shouldn't rush things, I don't even know who these people are. I dont' even know who I am.

I need to fight the strange feelings that I have, and try to think more rationally.

"Thank you."

I tell the elf, who has just pledged himself to me as well.

[Lady Violet]

Lin-Sat is still in the living room. I shut the door.
"Very well, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but only because I like to trust people."

[Julma Varjo]

With a gracious smile Julma begins talking lightly with Violet. "I just wanted to tell you that you will be seeing alot me around here and that I hope you do not take the same dislike to me as your dear friend there. I wish to be your friend if you don't mind." Julma gave a innocent smile and waited to hear whether he was going to have to do things the hard way or the easy way.
