[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Oz could feel her life going away. Her sacrifice made. She could barely respond when her Pokemon was trying to bring her back. She accept her fate. Maybe...Maybe this is why she was bring here. The universe gave her a chance...to fix her mistakes...to...To change the Fate of Glinda...

She is...glad. Satisfied even. The deaths of her friends still weigh in her soul...And problably will weigh for all eternity. But...at least, she gave a future to Glinda. To her sisters once more. 

...A future without her.

...With that though on her mind, her soul cries. She bring her back...But now left behind so much suffering to her friends and family. She would do again, to save any one of their precious sisters. SHE HAD to do it.

...But still pain her so much. So so much.

The abyss will problably love to take her. And she will accept Oblivion with open arms.

...

...Or would accept, if not a hand grab her, and she hear a strong grip and voice.

And been brough back to the land of the living. She looks at each of her Pokemon. Shocked, and she could see lot of them extremely irate at her.

"...I...I...alive...What...is..." She could barely focus anything. She feel someone hold her. "Who...who...is"

Her gaze go up, and then froze in shock. Her sister...Glinda. Alive. Angry for sure...but alive.

Oz eyes begin to tear up. She didn't expect her wish to granted twice...Having Glinda back...and be alive to stay with her.

"Glinda...Sis...sister..." With a weak shaking hand, she hold her sister cheek, almost fearful she would disapear. "...I...I can't...believe it...You...back...and...I...alive...But...how...?"

Oz then look at the field: Sylvia, exausted. Seddi, as always coming to her rescue. Vernnon, coming too. Ianai and Akamu there. Seddi also angry, calling her idiot along with her sister. "...Once again...acting...like...Batman...You...sure...know...when...to...appear...Seddi..."

Oz is weak. Extremely weak. But this can't compare to the joy in having her sister back. She...also notice the dismay most of her family is having...There lot to do...But now...that...can wait.

Slowy, she return the hug to Glinda. "...I....sorry...It...It was...my fault...Because...I was...weak...I was...prideful...My friends...they died...You...died...I...finally got...the...chance...to...change...fate...And...I...would...do...it...again...For you...and our sisters/family...A medic...can't...save...everyone...but...it...can...save...as...many...lives...it...can...Thats...my...oath..."

She try to give a smile. But she still feel a lot of pain. She lets Iron Leafs and Seddi help her. She is gladly to have her family back again...After years of self hatred, guilty, and suffering...Oz heart is slowy healing. Perhaps not completely, since the Guilty still weigh in her mind...But now...Today she can have a bit of happiness.

Seddi shakes his head.

"Don't thank me, Oz.  Thank the exhausted Espeon over there.  She's the one that brought ya back.  I'm just the cleanup detail at this point."

Her comments on being willing to do it again get an annoyed sigh from Seddi.  "Oz, what did I tell you when we first met?  Ya can't help anyone if you're injured or dead.  And ya don't have to do this alone.  Speaking of..."

Spoiler

You get a Pained by empathetic equivalent of a pat on the back from your Verdant Partner at what your two Witness. She too had to once Grapple with the issues you had, and would be more than willing to aid you....once her head stopping feeling like a Hippowdon sat on it. Owwwwww.......

Indeed see was - now that you are paying close attention, you see a very familiar kind of Stone. One in the shape of Tome with a Wide Lens and * on the Cover. 

You nearly get blasted by the suddenly keyed up Glinda Goodwitch, who's head snaps up at your intrusion into this Moment. However, the moment you summoned Her she relaxes, and gives you a simple nod of her puffy eyed, thoroughly drained head.

Iron Leaves, very much in spite of her own prefrences, winces and shakes Her head upon being Summoned, but she raises no complaints or displays disapproval of your prompt Action. She simply raise a hoof before *SLAMING!* it into the shrine's floor, causing a green wave of energy to cover the entire area, plants like Tall Grass and colorful flowers sprouting and blooming in an instant!

Verdant Terrain is Active: Healing Effect and Vitality Bolstering Online. Iron Leaves takes 3 Damage due to the exertion playing havoc with her Headache, though it's quickly patched over by Her Terrain. 

Rabsca wastes no time setting up a Safeguard, the protective aura causing everyone's shoulders to ease. They also study Oz and Glinda with intense scrutiny, as if they also Knew what happened and were trying to Divine something of their own about it. A Surprise! can be purchased for 47 XP for a Particular Move - PM if you are interested in the details.

Medical Check - Oz Post Sacrifice
3 + 2 + 2 + NO Malus (Bond Negation) + 1 Successes (Bond Supplementation)
(5)(2)(4)(4) (2)(5)(2) 5 Successes!

Oz is, despite her blood stained and haggard appearance, 100% Healthy. HOWEVER, you notice that right on chest where her heart would be is a scar in the shape of a  /\  and feel a STRONG connection between her and Glinda.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      \/ 

A Bond that now transcends Life....and Bind them in D e a t h . 

Glinda gives you a somewhat cross look, as if she figured out what you Divined, but simply *Sighed* and ask:

"Tell me....is my Sister alright? Or do I need to throttle her later for her idiocy?"

One more sad sigh from Seddi as he looks at the pokemon Oz gave her life to revive.  Though what he sees is encouraging as what exactly he's looking at finally sinks in.  A rare and very welcome sight in this situation. (OOC, I have been informed of what species Glinda is, and will factor that in while still remaining vague, as I don't think this detail has actually been revealed IC yet)

"Ah, fancy seeing one of your kind here.  Good.  Oz is gonna need strong protection.  And you hers.  She's fine, but you'll probably want to throttle her for this too.  If either of you dies, the other one will as well.  This sacrifice did not come without its cost, even with everything put into reversing it."

Seddi looks back at Oz.  "Don't go forgettin' what I said again, Oz.  It's not just your life on the line anymore.  Take a moment.  Catch your breath.  Just let the Verdant Terrain and Safeguard do their thing.  And as far as your physical condition goes, you'll be fine."

And then he lets out a breath and relaxes.  Clearly less worried now, but still not leaving Oz's side.
