The First Trio- How Marrena joined the Mythicals (Part 1)

"Woah... the wildlife here is amazing, Saryn!" Zinah picked a flower off the mountain. "These plants had to adapt to the cold in order to get the rich nutrients under the snow. Amazing!"
Saryn smiled. "Yes, it is. Now, remember, we’re exploring, yes, but keep an eye out for distress. It can be anywhere."
"Okidoki!" Zinah picked up a little ferret. "But isn’t this cute?"
"I guess." Saryn hiked up the cliff. Noticing a shadow in the distance, she focused on it with binoculars.
A red flag.
"Zinah!" Saryn yelled over her shoulder. "A red flag! Distress signal! Come on!"
Zinah shot up. "Got it!"
She air-bent herself while Saryn flew her bird-like mount to the flag. Once they landed, they both let out a gasp.
"My gods..." Saryn covered her mouth.
Crumpled on the ground were hundreds of hunters. Blood stained the snow a dark red. One man was leaning against the flag, blood dripping out of his wounds.
"That man." Saryn pointed in his direction. "He’s still bleeding. He’s still alive. Get your first aid, Zinah."
"Got it," Zinah pulled it out of her bag and rushed over to him.
Saryn inspected the rest of the hunters. She checked all their pulses. They were all dead. Bowing her head and kneeling in respect, Saryn thought to herself, By the great gods, who could’ve done this? These hunters were heavily armed, and they had the training badges of Elites. Barely anyone can beat one, let alone hundreds of them!
She walked over to Zinah and the one survivor. Zinah was calming him as she bandaged his wounds. "It’s ok, sir. I’m the Elemental, and Saryn here is my bodyguard. You’ll be ok."
"We’ll avenge your comrades." Saryn nodded in respect. "Who attacked you?"
"I don’t know, ma'am." He stuttered weakly. "It was just a blur. But I did catch sight of claws, fangs, a tail and raging mad eyes. I don’t know what its intentions were. But it wiped out me and my mates."
Zinah looked at Saryn.
"Where did it go?" Saryn asked.
The hunter pointed to a thin trail of blood leading away. "Right before it could kill me, I shot it. Follow the trail, find it."
"Shouldn’t we stay with you until you’re a little more healed?" Zinah asked.
"No need," he smiled. "I’ve taken worse. Go ahead and fight it. Good luck. You’ll need it."
Saryn started following the trail. "Come on, Zinah."
Zinah followed, leaving the man a thermos of hot water and a mug.

Death's Duty Calls, Act 2- The Queen, Part 1- The Father

Act 2 - The Queen Part 1- The Father The curtain rises on the forest. The campsite is gone. The forest is still there. Jason and Jay are walking across the scene, with their bags on their backs. They stop about one-quarter of the way across the stage, stop, and turn back.  JASON- Daryn. Pick up the pace. Daryn jogs up to them, panting. He leans against Jay, who steps back. He slips and hits the ground. DARYN, out of breath - It’s not my fault that I don’t have as much endurance as you two. JAY- You wouldn’t survive a day with Conrad and Aletha. JASON- He’s a prince. He’s soft. Daryn shoots up. DARYN- I’m not soft! I’m strong! Watch me! He pulls Jason’s sword off Jason’s belt and swings it at a tree with no effect. JASON- You’re strong-willed. That’s… good enough. DARYN- Yeah. I’m strong. He puffs out his chest and parades around Jay and Jason.  JAY, sarcastic - Ha, ha. Hilarious. C’mon. We need to get to her lair before sundown, or else fighting he...

Mental Link Part 6

Kia coughs. Twice. Harder. Jakeob puts her back, and Yppah instinctively gets closer to her by pushing Jakeob to the side. She sits up and looks straight at Jakeob and not Yppah. "Jake? Why would you..." "Shhhhh. Cuz." Yppah turned her head to look at him. "Jakey boy is on a bit of an... emotional roller coaster right now. Look at me." "Jakeob," she said hoarsely. "Please..." Yppah growled a little bit. "Why the hell is it all about him ?" Kia went red and looked down sheepishly. "Yppah, please... I just want to see Jakeob..." Yppah sat next to her. "Explain." "Explain what, cuz?" Kia asked. "Why do you still trust him, even after he hooked you up to a poorly built machine, made you horribly sick through said machine, and almost blew you to bits?" Yppah said, feeling tears start to well up in his eyes. Jakeob sat on the other side of Kia, looking at his feet. Kia didn't noti...

The Mental Link- Part 2

Silver light blasted through the tube. It flashed, then intensified. Kia screamed. "Is this normal?" Yppah asked nervously as her screams of pain continued. "Umm.... no." Jakeob stared at his computer. "I think..." Yppah blocked his ears. "You think what?" "This isn’t in my calculations." Jakeob traced the computer screen. "Luke fortified the link so she couldn’t lose it this way." Yppah stared at the shadow of his cousin grabbing her skull in pain. "Can you stop it?" "There’s only one way to make it stop." Jakeob looked at him with a glint in his eye. "I have to make it stronger." " WHAT ?" Yppah grabbed Jakeob by the shoulders. "Dude, are you insane ? You’re going to make it more powerful, and so  more painful? And that’s supposed to fix the screaming Kia problem?" "I wish I could make it easier on her." Jakeob whispered. "I’ve just made her closer to...
