Ember's POV:
I bit back a scream. I thought they wouldn't notice me! Tentatively, I approached, each of us just looking at the other, trying to decide whether they were friend or foe.
"Allies?" It was a strange, unfamiliar word in my mouth. We weren't playing a game or anything like that, I guess. Yet it still felt so dangerous. She was only my age, too, and didn't seem too much of a threat. Perhaps working together was the best method after all...

She turns around and sees me, standing there, sword in hand. She quickly does an analysis as she walks towards me. I walk towards her as well.
"Allies?" she asks.
I nod, and extend my hand for a handshake but not before putting my own weapon away.

"Let's get out of here."
As a not even claustrophobic person, it was strange that I'd think like that. But the forest felt like it was closing in. Taking her hand and shaking it, I scanned the surrounding area for an escape route. Pointing vaguely in the direction that I thought was where I was heading before, she simply nodded. Strange, but at least it was a definite yes. Slowly making my way there, I thought i heard a small flutter of wings somewhere...

I heard Athena squak her heart out. I turned around and saw a girl. I ran to her. She looked frightened by me. "Don't be afraid of me, now did you get that letter?" I blinked several times, so she must be like me? Biting my lip, I nodded.. "Yes I did.." I trailed off. |

"Are you hurt?" I might have slapped her to knock some sense into her, but I heard a rustling in the bushes. "Who else is here?" Athena flew off of her perch, and flew into the forest. "Athena wait!" I flew to toward her, trying to catch up, but I was new to these wings, and they were hard to operate.

As we reached the edge of the forest, I began tracking the sound, motioning for the other girl to follow me. The sun was setting over distant hills and dark silhouettes appeared against a blood-red sky. Two people, and two birds. Maybe it wasn't just us still alive in this dangerous new world...

Oh great. My new ally just saw two other figures among the shadows. The same ones who may have seen me. One ally is enough even though I don't even know her name.

Was this the right thing to do? Was one enough? Was it even possible that I wasn't dreaming? I gave my ally a questioning look, but in the dim light I couldn't see whether she replied or not. Looking around for a tree, I tried to scratch a torch into the ground for light. It worked, but no light came out of it. I sighed and looked around for the two people I thought I'd seen.

Nigh started to fall and the two shadows soon disappeared into the night. I glance at my ally who is trying to make a torch. I couldn't understand what she was doing but I'm assuming her power has something to do with it. Assuming she had a power, that was...

I glanced at my silent ally, wondering why that was. Why did she not introduce herself the moment we met? Sure, I could understand that she was being cautious, but really? And the way she only nodded...suspicious. Perhaps my only choice was to break the alliance before it got too...strong. Join the others. Leave her behind. But there were too many flaws in that plan, and I could only trust the darkness to hide my expression.

I heard some rustling and could faintly see some figures in the distance. I clenched my dagger tighter as I took a few steps towards the people. "uhh hello?" I whispered, scared of who might be there.

Something smacked Calamity in the face. She drew back, trying to figure out what it was. It was a beautiful dove, alive, unlike Dylluan.
Standing behind the bird, looking nervous, was another girl, except she had wings.
"Did you get the letter?"
Calamity heard her say to someone else... another girl. So many people... where these the ones she was supposed to find?

Out of the corner of my eye I saw another figure. Where were these people coming from?
I took several steps back, I don't want to be associated with them just yet.

It was getting dark out, "Here" I said as I curled up the palm of my hand. When I let go, there was a tiny ball of light. "Angels can do lots of things, turn light to dark, make light for the night, and such other things. I remember it as a fraction of my memory."

Calamity glanced around nervously at all the other people around her. Dylluan seemed to sense the tension and nipped her ear trying to reassure her. He stayed quiet. Calamity decided it might not actually be possible for him to make a noise, since he was dead.
She repeated the question someone else had already posed, "Did you all get the letter? About the powers and the gifts and all that..." Calamity looked down and whispered shyly, "I think we have to save the world together."
