«We Could Be Legends»

[Cluckcluck1215]

(Wolfdyn! Under the saddest circumstances though)
Brisa watched the group of remaining Legends as they slowly gathered closer to where River knelt in the torn dirt. She was still aware of the Pure spread out around the area watching them, and she could see them starting to move. Where Mapleshade was Brisa had no clue, and after hearing Bleddyn’s words she frankly didn’t care. She couldn’t seem to force herself to move; her feet had grown roots and anchored herself to that spot.

Taylor, white aura pulsing around her, white flames licking her hair and clothes, eyes solid white, came up to Brisa, letting her powers cease slightly so she could see the girl. She glanced at Wolfram and Bleddyn, staring for a moment. I'll never understand him.
Her gaze flicked up to see Lily, face a little blood, but otherwise fine, watching the two, jealousy burning in her eyes. Give it up, Lily!
She glanced at the Pure, her hand shooting out suddenly, a flame wall enclosing them. She felt so drained, but she had to protect the others while they were in such a vulnerable state. "What," she panted to Brisa. "Happened?"

Brisa shook her head, unable to speak for a few moments. “I-I’m not sure. I didn’t really see everything, but a Pure member was hurting Connor. Then the ground opened up, swallowed both of them and Sherri, and closed again. I almost fell in too. Bleddyn was standing right there and saw everything happen, and she thinks she did it.” She finally said numbly. I don’t know what to think. I thought Bleddyn didn’t even have any powers.”

"Yeah, but doesn't Ash have elemental abilities of some kind?" Indigo asked. "Was she ever tested for it? It's a very rare ability, but I think she passed it on."
"I just wish we knew someone who could hear for voices... check for signs of life..." she said, slightly rapping her knuckles on the strangely lumpy ground.

Sherri crept up to the light. It was one of the pixies. The girl was clutching a golden orb, focusing on it's swirling, translucent form as if it could disappear at any moment.
Sherri sat there for a while, on her haunches. She wanted to ask what it was, but she didn't want to break the pixie's concentration. It somehow seemed important that the pixie stared ceaselessly into the ball of light, as if the whole world depended on it.
The air seemed less stuffy here, more free.
The girl's delicate lips moved, but her golden eyes did not stray from the hypnotic swirls. "It puts oxygen into the air," she explained. Her voice, though clear, made her sound like she was at least fourteen, abolishing the creepy singing girl vibe Sherri was getting from her. This honestly relieved her a bit, because she really didn't want to share her oxygen with a creepy singing girl.
"At least until Liam comes..." the girl finished, making Sherri wonder whether she had missed something the pixie had said.
Who was this Liam? The pixie seemed certain he would come save them.
Sherri was suddenly mortified to see a dark, masked woman beside her, and jumped. But she saw that the woman's eyes were as fixated as the pixie's, as if seeing their savior made it easier to breathe.
'Come here,' Sherri said, walking over to Connor and flagging her tail, before realising the pixie would not understand her in cat form.
But the pixie followed anyways, cradling the ball of light like it was an infant. She probably doesn't want to be in a den of monsters alone.
Sherri stopped at Connor's side. He was no longer breathing.
The pixie already had her hands all over him, checking for vital signs.
"Can you help him?" She asked.
"I don't think I can save him..." the pixie said, "but I can keep him breathing...
She pressed a white palm over his nose, her other hand holding the orb, it's light faltering.
More of the golden light went through her slender fingers into the dark wolf's nose. Sherri held her breath. The wolf's chest rose and fell peacefully.

Two people questioning her was quite enough to motivate Indigo to clarify.
"Clear your head. I mean, it would set your abilities back to normal, and you would be re-energized. I know how you feel about my powers, though." Indigo narrowed her eyes at the freckled woman. "Don't you... have telepathic abilities or something? Could you hear thoughts underground?" She tried to remember what the person's power was, something incredibly... exotic? But it had something to do with hearing things, and elements.

"A big one," Toby said. He was too tired to think of a good description of the hole.



Toby shook his head numbly. "I'm fine. My head is clear. I mean, it never is, but..." He trailed off. "I don't want to use my powers again. It's scary."

"I can't hear thoughts or emotions, no- it's more-so movement and uttered words." The lack of her own comprehension was really starting to agitate Ash. She couldn't even really understand what was wrong, but it was all so wrong. "It's like an intense partnership with the wind. But, my head, I don't know how many times it's been hit and...t-to do that, I need my head." More bloodshot tears streamed over her bruised face as she wallowed in her absolute uselessness. "I know, I mean, that doesn't make sense probably, but I can't do it."

Toby's eyes lit up. "Oh! Taylor! She's got some weird sort of powers, maybe she can help!" He stood up, and then dropped back down by Ash. "Right, you're still injured." He was disappointed he didn't somehow magically fix her wounds.
Toby cleaned and bandaged Ash's wounds, then quickly stood up again, a wave of dizziness crashing over him. He almost fell over, but was able to right himself before he did. He walked up to Taylor, but noticing how tired she looked he walked back to Indigo and Ash. "Never mind, she looks too tired. The last thing we need is her passing out. I'm out of ideas."

Taylor frowned at Brisa's words, her hand dropping as Toby came over. The wall of fire dropped low, but still crackled furiously. "I didn't think she did either." She murmured, and drifted over to Toby, Ash and Indigo. "What do you need me to do?"

Toby looked up at Taylor. "We were talking about a way to see if they are still alive down there. You have some cool powers, so I was wondering if any of them could be used to see if they're alive." He said.

Taylor took in a slow, long breath, and knelt down so she was beside Ash and Toby. "I don't want to say this. But I have to." She trembled slightly, staring at the earth's scar. "They're gone, you guys. They were swallowed by the earth, they're dead. You can't get them back! You can't!"

Toby's face fell. "No. No, they're not dead. We'll get them back." He stood up, taking a few steps backwards. He looked around. So much death. And people are still dying. We'll get Connor and Sherri back. Won't we?

Taylor looked up at him, visibly shaking with suppressed emotion. "They're dead, Toby! They are dead! They fell into the earth!"
