Confused (Part Two)

May 29, 2017

Like the title says, this may get confusing...unless you've been in the roleplays long enough.

To my fellow roleplayers: Sorry if my memory is slightly foggy.

Ah sorry about that. I've been busy fighting some Conquerors and- Never mind, no need to get into detail with that.

Where did I last left off again?

- - -

Luna's spirit animal, a cat, pulled open the cage and without warning, took hold of my hand and pulled me out the cell, cracking a few unused muscles...and that hurts!

I stumbled to a stop, wrenching free from her hold, "Hey, hey, hey. It's been a while since i've walked and my joints are aching."

I stood up and stretched for a few seconds, relaxing as the muscles were finally stretched. Okay, I know we're in a Conquerors base but i've been stuck in that cell for too long.

"Okay, done," I told them.

"Then let's go," Luna said, glancing at her friend, "Ray, can you, uh, sense Sage anywhere?"

"Y-Yea," she yawned as if she sounded tired.

"So, uh, can you fill me in with the plan?" I asked as we began to walk through the dark hallways.

"Okay, so our plan is to get Sage and find out if he's possessed like Sol was," I had no clue who Sage or Sol was but possessed?

"Wait, possessed?" I exclaimed, "What do you mean by possessed?"

"Well, there's a poison that makes it so you can't take your spirit animal out of passive form," that sucks...and sounds really familiar.

"So...?" My voice trailed off, afraid to ask the question.

"It's not good, obviously," she added, "It's really bad. Anyways, we'll need some weapons..."

"So wait, hold on," I said and we stopped walking, "You're saying that there's a poison that makes your spirit animal stay in passive form...forever?" I can feel a tug from the back of my mind. It's so close.

"Y-Yea," Ray spoke up, actually looking tired.

"So you have to keep them out of passive form?"

"Yeah, exactly," Luna nodded, "They'll be trapped in passive form until we find a cure."

Ray suddenly passed out, hitting the ground.

"We need a quest," Olvan spoke up.

I saw Ash stop petting her panther.

"Q-Quest sir?" I've done plenty of quests before, sneaking around and delivering messages and all of that. But i'm not sure if that's the kind of quest the Greencloaks take.

The door suddenly flew open, a white blur bursting into the room, followed by a loud, "SAGE!"

I jumped, which was pretty embarrassing for my part. Ash's hands flew to her boots where two daggers were sticking out...like where did that even come from? Beside her, her once passive panther was suddenly a snarling wildcat, its tail lashing, eyes flashing, fur bristling, me just rhyming...

I got a good glance at the animal, a huge white tiger. It produced a growl of its own, starting to pace around the room.

Someone, a girl with brown and, um, purple hair rushed in, "I am so, so sorry." She looked down at the white tiger, i'm guessing her spirit animal, with concern, "Is something wrong?"

"Silence please!" Olvan ordered, standing up from his chair.

The newcomer looked down, "Sorry sir."

Ash relaxed, standing back up and reassuring the still-tense, panther.

My gaze turned to the white tiger and before I knew it, I spoke, "She should come." This startled me. I didn't know what made me say it...

Olvan glanced at me as if sensing my odd behavior before sighing wearily, "Ashley and Raylen."

"Yes sir?" The newcomer, Raylen, asked.

"Yes?" Ash followed, looking up.

"This will be your first quest, I believe," Olvan told them, "I need you to go to Griff's group, the Red Spies and find a certain book."

At that, I froze. Deep inside me, something was telling me it wasn't a good idea. I shouldn't be going there.

"You are only to find this book," Olvan emphasized 'only' to make his point clear, "and follow their orders. Nothing else."

I found the girls nodding. This was already a bad idea. That invisible presence suddenly left me and I slumped as if it had drained my energy as well.

"Griff will accompany you there and right now, he looks tired," crap, was it that obvious?

"Will you show him to one of the spare rooms?" Olvan asked.

"Sure."

"Okay."

"Thank you. I'll be looking for more members to join," and just like that, our little meeting was over.

I felt a little worried about this quest. Something wasn't right...

Ash began to lead the way when there was a crash behind me, "Ow."

I turned to see that Ray had crashed into the door and I had a small memory of someone crashing into the door minutes earlier.

"Come on, there's some spare rooms by me," Ash said, leading the way as Ray rubbed her face, following after.

We soon stopped by a room, "There. I'm right next door if you need anything."

"And i'm only down to the wall on the left," Ray added.

I guess not every Greencloak was bad.

I gave them a weak smile, "Yeah... thanks."

They both smiled back, Ash adding playfully, "Now shoo fly shoo. Get some sleep."

I shook my head, my smile becoming genuine before entering the room. I closed the door and looked around before summoning my spirit animal, a brown bear appearing right in front of me.

She looked around before standing and padding around, sniffing at things curiously. I chuckled, petting her head, "We'll be staying here for the night, hopefully."

I plopped down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. The dark presence returned, a voice whispering from inside me, "You...can't...essscape...me."

- - -

"What just happened?" I asked, as we both rushed off to Ray who had passed out.

"I have no idea but we should let her sleep if she's that tired to pass out," just like that, Luna swung Ray over her shoulders like it's no big deal, "Let's go."

"Wait, when you drink this poison... does it affect humans too?"

"Uh no, it only affects spirit animals but we're not spirit animals so we're good."

"Okay then," I looked at Ray in concern. Something was once again tugging at the back of my mind...and it's getting really annoying.

"Which way should we go?" Luna asked me.

"Up?" I suggested before quickly changing my mind, "or maybe finding the armory or somewhere we can get weapons from."

"Good idea," she nodded, walking left as I followed, "Besides, we should wait till Ray wakes up before looking for Sage."

"So who is Sage, exactly?"

"Ray's spirit animal."

"Oh, that makes sense," so I was right, "What happened to her spirit animal?"

"We don't know," she answered, "We just know he's gone but hopefully alive."

"Okay then," I had the sudden urge to summon Ursa, my brown bear. At least I could find something familiar in this place.

In a flash, the brown bear tumbled out of passive state. She stood up, looking around, grunting in annoyance before she spotted the passed out Ray. She approached, beginning to sniff her curiously, making her stir a little.

"You didn't tell me your name yet," Luna said, "and you mentioned losing your best friend. Who's that?"

"My best friend is..." I winced, "A personal topic. But my name I can give you. Griffin but in short, Griff."

"Okay Griff, what's your spirit animal's name?" She asked, glancing back at the brown bear who was still sniffing Ray.

"That's Ursa," I said, keep an eye on her, "And your name must be Luna?"

"Yep," Luna said, "and the cat on my head is Sol. Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, you too," I nodded, "I'm guessing you're Greencloaks... from the cloaks you wear."

"Yep. And you?"

"I guess I was," I replied hesitantly. Something didn't feel right when I said that. "But probably not anymore. They think i'm dead."

"Well, do you still feel like one?" She asked me. How should I answer that?

I let out a guilty laugh, "I feel like a coward."

"So we all felt like that sometimes," there was a note of comfort in it.

"L-Luna?"
