Fire & Ice II: Age of Rebirth(private/mature/continued)

ooc: I got ya. Hm..well how about we stick to fantasy then? Any games you've been meaning to rp?

ic: Titus passed Soara by without a word. Noel gazed forward, seriously surprised to see Soara. "Why are you here?" he blinked. When she motioned him to jump onto her back he let out a low groan. He stood there dreading having to ride on her back again. Surely there was another way for him to get around! "You have no idea how much I hate this.." he mumbled and slowly walked towards her, tho perhaps not fast enough for her. She seemed to be in a hurry but Noel was taking his sweet sweet time

ooc: I don't think I could ever rp that. Haha sorry it's just not something I can see myself taking seriously.

ic: Kora looked at Noel as he pulled away from her. "You really are ungrateful you know that?" she snapped at him. Turnign to Titus she wiped the scowl off her face and nodded. "Let's go." she agreed allowing him to scoop her up once more. Just as they left Soara entered the clearing. "Lets go." she stated pointing to her back for Noelt o get on.

ooc: I know I know, I've just been reading a few on a different site and thought it might be a nice change of pace lol

ic: "Soara is coming." Titus groaned. Noel slowly rose up to his feet. He shot a hot glare towards Kora before snatching his hand away from here. "As soon as I'm healed I'm going to skin you alive and use your pelt to make my belt!" Noel hissed. "Ooooh that rhymed." Titus teased. He walked over to Kora scooping her off her feet again. "So since my sister is coming..and soon, we can leave him here right?"

Ooc: i havent watched since i was like 7 haha

Ic: kora sighed as Titus abused Nol. She walked over helping him to his feet. "Sorry about him...he doesnt like you." She said bluntly. "What was that about anyway?" She asked Titus. Unlike him she didnt hve incredible smell. She started through the forest. "Lets go. You wanted to hurry."

ooc: This is gonna sound super crazy..and even nerdy, but would you be into a pokemon rp :P ?

ic: Oh, how Noel wanted to slit Titus' throat more than ever. Titus walked up the steps with Noel squirming on his shoulders. "Stop that or I just might drop you on your head...actually...do keep on moving. I'd enjoy seeing how much pain you'd be in." titus grinned. When he got outside, his ears perked and his nose tilted towards the sky. His grin quickly vanished and was replaced by a long sigh. "Well well big surprise..." he muttered. He could smell the scent of his sister heading towards them. Sighing, Titus dropped Noel. As promised, he landed flat on his head causing him to let out a pained cry that shot through the entire forest. "Woops...I forgot you were up there." titus stated and turned around blinking twice. His act was almost convincing, almost.

ooc: Not really I haven't had time to really think of any

ic: Kora watched as titus forced Noel onto his back. He knew it was the only way to get the stubborn boy to do anything. You couldn't do anything to him without force being involved. A small smile tugged at her lips. "Yes we can. Thank you."

ooc: Hope you get better

btw: Do you have ideas you've been meaning to try for rps?

ic: "Its only because of Kora that I'm even here right now. I said get up!" Titus spat and nailed Noel with a hand upside his head. Noel instinctively reached for one of his duel blades. Upon grabbing them he realized that they weren't behind his back. "Missing something?" Titus smirked. He reached forward grabbing noel roughly by his arm and flinging him over his shoulder. "OUCH! You dick!!!" Noel spat. Violent streaks of pain were tearing through his body. "My bad..." Titus smiled before looking up towards Kora. "I've got him. Can we go now???"

ooc; Idk really going to see the doctor for round 2 tomorrow

ic: Kora gripped Titus's shirt tightly as he stopped. "Got it..." Kora squeaked at his deadly gaze. She stood and followed him back inside the tree to retrieve Noel. He didn't seem that excited to see them either which made her slightly angry.

ooc: whats wrong, got a cold?

ic: Titus stopped dead in his tracks. The sudden halt would have been enough to send Kora flying out of his arms and into several rocks had he not been holding onto her tight. His dark brown eyes glared down into her red ones. "After this you're even and you'll owe her nothing." he growled before spinning around and running back towards the tree. He placed Kora on her feet and stormed down to the couch where Noel was sitting. "On your feet." Titus ordered. Noel gaze Titus a lazy side glace. "What do you want?" he sighed while rolling his eyes. His body was in enough pain as it was. The last person he wanted to see was Titus

"No she wouldn't!" Kora hissed. She fought Titus as he lifted her into his arms. "Put me down!" she yelled. "You do owe her she cured me remember?! When my leg was burnt? I probably woud have lost it if it wasn't for her. So maybe you don't think you owe her but I do!" she yelled at him fighting to get out f his hold.

ooc: Sure I'm stuck home all day today and tomorrow due to my illness so...yeah

"The hell we cant." Titus hissed. "Soara is a bitch and if given the chance WOULD leave just to irritate me. Noel is breathing right? He'll be fine by himself." titus huffed. He leaned down scooping Kora into his arms whether she wanted to be held or not. "I owe Soara nothing. If she's so worried about her human she should have come back." Titus stated. His legs suddenly bent causing his body to crouch down to the ground just before before his body propelled itself forward into the surrounding brush.

ooc: Would you be interesting brain storming ideas for a new rp?

"Okay..." Kora followed him but hesitated at the door. "What about Noel? We can't just leave him here." she pointed out. "Soara probably trusted that you would bring him back with you. And..I won't leave him here alone. Soara wouldn't leave me here if it was her."

"Well I'm here now so lets go. I'll take you back. If I carry you we should reach the capital within a day or two. Soara and Ama went on ahead." Titus stated. He gently began to pull her outside. "Lets go. We dont have time to spare."

Kora stared at Titus quizically. "I would never think that. I woul have understood that you had other priorities. Your dying father comes before me." She replied. She felt guitly now that he hd come to her instead of going to help his father.

"No.."Titus frowned as he looked up into her eyes. "I didn't want you to have to. I told you I'd be back. I didn't..want you to think I was a liar, that I didn't care." he replied softly, his ears folding back a little as his tail drooped.

Soara chose to ignore Amas ccomment before she ended up going after Noel. Intruth Soara had trained and knew she was faster than her brother and Ama. Though she wasnt going to show it now.

Kora smiled as he wrapped his arms around her. She nuzzled into his necm taking in his scent. "No of course not." She assured him. "He just sat there." She explained. "Thanks for taking the risk but i couldve waited."

"Older, smarter, more talented, and better looking. You forgot those." Ama added with a twisted grin. She watched Soara take off. Sighing, she went into a sprint. It wouldn't take her long to catch up.

Titus looked up at Kora with a weighted smile. He wasn't happy..well not really. He stepped inside and the first thing he did was wrap his arms tightly around her frame. "We found enough scraps to fill a small vile about half way. Ama wanted me to leave you, to come back for you later. I told her and I wouldn't. Apparently there's going to be some type of punishment for me when I get back for disobeying orders." titus explained. He closed his eyes and nuzzled his nose into her neck. She still smelled like him and he was kinda glad the scent hadn't faded. "I just couldn't leave you, not even if I'd end up coming back." he replied softly. He pulled back from her neck a bit and flicked his warm wet tongue behind her ear. Slowly, his warm lips came to close over her lobe sucking on it softly. "Oh, Noel didn't touch you did he?" Titus growled. He pulled back, giving her body a quick once over. She seemed fine. There wasn't a single hair out of place as far as he could tell

Sooara gpared at herr couusin. "You alwways pull that rank crap. Its only because you'reolder." she hissed. When she started to harass her about Jann she growled. "You better watch where you step. I trained plenty you blind ass. I didnt go to the acadamy because it brought up bad memories. I lost someone i love very much sorry i wasnt a perfect soldier and didnt just get over it!" turning she began sprinting towards the capital putting distance between her and Ama as she let the tears fal,.

Kora heard the knocking and looked up. Going to the camera she saw Titus and grinned opening the door. "You made it. How did it go?" she was grinning at him from ear to ear.

"Whats that?" Ama blinked. Her right eye began to twitch. Oh, how she wanted to smack her cousin right now. "FYI I was put in charge. I was assigned to protect your ungrateful ass and if need be, take charge of the gems recovery. And even if I wasn't put in charge directly, I still out rank you." Ama snarled. She stormed up to Soara 'pressing' her finger into her shoulder over and over. "Oh and another thing." Ama added. "At least I've made myself useful while YOUR dad has been sick. I've dedicated myself to serving this family. You've been a ghost these past years. All you did was mourn Jann. I never saw you in the training hall. I never saw you come back to the academy to give back to the pups. Where were you Soara? Where were you when I was busy working huh?" Ama hissed. She hadn't intended to let loose, but Soara had provoked her and now she was sick of it. "We're leaving now. Titus can handle getting your human back." Ama ordered. Her head turned up gazing towards the sky. If they ran at max speed it would take them at least two days to get back to the capital.

Meanwhile, Titus mumbled curses as he stormed through the forest. He followed his nose back to the tree Kora had shown him, but had no idea how to enter. Ama had also sealed up the hole she had dug. Sighing, Titus knocked on the trunk of the hollow tree. He had no intention of bringing Noel back. No, why should he do Soara a favor?

Soara knew that Ama was right the diiscussion was over. Not the way she wanted it to be though. Her fists clenched as Soara was torn. She wated to get Noel and protect him, howeve she also wanted to get back to the capital. "I dont reember you being assigned leader of this mission. Ever since Dad got sick you've had a stick up your ass. They may be human but they'd come back for us. They're barely out of the way. We owe them enough to not let them die." she turned looking at her cousin. "Now I'll go back with you because i trust Kora not to let Titus leave him behind. You make thechoice though leave defensless humans who helped us or be self annd leave them." Soara meant whatshesaid se was going to do whatever Ama told her she juxt hoped that she made the right choice.

"Like I said, this discussion is over. You'll see your humans again, just not now. Getting this vile back to YOUR dad is more important." Ama explained and began to walk. "No." Titus growled. "You can go, I'm going to pick up Kora. I'm not leaving her to rot underground. I told her I'd come right back and thats what I'm going to do!" Titus snapped and started walking towards the three base. Ama turned and shot a bullet sized block of ice right in front of his face putting a thin scar on his cheek. "I dont think you're understanding me. Do you even realize how much trouble you're already in, both of you." Ama frowned as she shifted her eyes between her cousins. "You not coming back when you're suppose to will be the same as you abandoning your mission and your family. You're not a child Titus. All three of us serve in the army. There are penalties for what you're about to pull!" Ama screamed out. Titus shook his head defiantly. "Shoot me in the back if you want, but I'm going. I'll get to the capital as soon as I can." he stated and literally turned his back to Ama giving her the chance to shoot him if she wanted. Ama spat out a long series of curses. Her eyes then shifted over to Soara. "So..are you going to disobey too? All this time Titus has been giving you shit because he thinks you placed Jann before our family. Now, he's doing that with Kora. I dont know what will happen to either of you if you go through with this. Return with me Soara. Maybe I can explain that you at least tried to make the mission successful and that it was Titus who kept us behind. Tho thats not the truth...its far better than being punished."

Soara started down the steps and all around the hole. Their findings weren't anythign to really brag about but they were better than ntohing. Maybe the Elder would be able to figure out what was in them that healed her father. At the mention of not going back to get the others she frowned. "Noel is barely alive! Without proper care he could get worse! You can't just leave them there without knowing what's happening." she growled.

The amount of steps Ama made was..pretty amazing. Even Titus was surprised. Once more, Ama was still standing even after using so much energy. Tho she definitely looked weakened. The three spent the next hour gathering as many samples as they could and by the time they were finished the vile was about half full. Ama climbed out of the hole. In addition to looking someone had beat the shit out of her so was dirty. Her gorgeous white kimono with pink patterned sleeves was a mess. Titus didn't look too different. His entire face was covered in dirt as if he had been digging in it..which he had. "Alright lets return to the capital. We need to get this to Elder Xai as quickly as possible." Ama huffed as she tried dusting herself off. God she smelled. She'd have to take a bath right after handing off the vile. "Huh?" Titus blinked. "We have to go back for Kora." he stated. Ama shook her head slowly. "Uncle Yu-san promised she can live free in any HUMAN city she wanted. He made no such promises to Noel. We can make good on our promise later. Right now we need to head home." Ama stated. Her logic was sound, but Titus was never the type to follow logic. "No. I'm not leaving her alone with him any longer than I have to." Titus growled. "Titus.." Ama breathed, her eyes giving off a sharpened dagger like glare. "This is an order. Both of you are returning with me. We'll pick up the humans later. This discussion is over."

Soara complied with Ama's request engulfing both her hands in flames. Titus of course came down as well and did the same. Soara stared at the vile noticing the sparkling gems that it contained. There was definitely something here. Stepping back as instructed Soara waited for her cousin to build the steps.

Ama had stopped about half way. She was holding a small flame up towards one of the crater walls. "I think I've found something." She whispered. "I need more light." she muttered. Hearing that, Titus followed Soara down the steps and used both his hands to light up the entire area around them. Ama leaned close against the wall. She took out a small vile and began to gently scrape at the wall. She then held the vile up towards the light. Aside from the dirt, there were topaz colored sharps inside the vile. "We need more." she stated, now looking back at her cousins. "Both of you stand back. I'm going to make stairs going all the way around. We'll search every single inch of this hole!"
