Meeting Point

[Blade]

"Hey, Enki! Over here!" Aura called out as she noticed Enki and Aquize walking up, but fell silent as the third figure rounded the corner. "Who's that?"
"I am Alek Sentari. I have come to offer to teach the four of you to use all four elements."
"Is that even possible?" Aura asked, amazed.
"Well, yes, as we saw him do so." Aquize said, "He also told us our abilities are called Tarmo, a form of energy used to manipulate our environments."
"Ooh, i like the sound of that... Tarmo, Tarmo, Tarmo... Sounds strong..."
Alek just looked at Aura, "She is a real air user alright."

[Kiki]

A little girl's giggle was heard and a little girl could be seen in a tree. She looked about 7 or 8 and had short black hair and violet eyes. "Of course you can learn the four basic Elements of Fire, Earth, Wind and Water," she said. Her tone was extremely playful and childish. "Anybody can learn to tap into the Basic Four, even the most stupid of humans." She giggled again. "I'm not calling you stupid or anything; I'm just saying just about anybody can learn the Basic Four. Even a Pokemon can."

[New character. Marcella, but I'm going to use Marci as her nickname. I wanted a character like her: a somewhat mischevious little girl but she has a lot of knowledge. Next to nobody in the city will know about her. She won't even appear as an update on the mainframe that Kiki gave Jultun. She's a mystery, even to me still]

[Blade]

(Ah, tricky, good plot story as well. although watch out, if Jultun finds her and that she's not in the database, you know what he's gonna think...)

"I believe you're talking magic," Aquize said, looking over. "We don't use the same kind, so the 'basic four' are the only four, and each one is somewhat difficult to learn." Aquize explained it in a way she thought the kid would understand.

[Kiki]

Marci giggled. "Everybody still has the ability to learn, though," she said in a sing-songy voice. "Magic is magic is magic. Magic on Valacia is similar to that of the 3rd D and that magic is similar to that on Elemi and that's similar to the magic of Sacordia. Magic's magic. It's nothing different. It just depends on how you think about it."

[Blade]

"I wish that were true, honestly, but this kind is completely different than what you're used to." Aquize said, looking up at the girl. "We can't learn your type of magic, and you can't learn ours. We were born in seperate realms, with seperate skills."

[Kiki]

"Doubt it." Marci jumped out of it. "Magic just is. Pure magic is the same everywhere. I've been to lotsa places with lotsa different types of magic and I've learned a lot. Sacordia. That was an interesting place. The Eletains are the only people that use it anymore. But I was still able to learn the way they use it. Different from anything I've seen."

[Blade]

"This is different even from that." Alek said, stepping in for Aquize. "You see, instead of using energy to create the element, we control it to manipulate the elements. Like you, i've traveled and learned a lot, but even with that knowledge, i cannot teach someone Tarmo, they have to have been born with the ability."

[Kiki]

Marci shrugged. "I probably know more than you at least in the way of magic," she said to Alek. "Probably traveled more than you, too. Planet hopping and D-hopping." She smiled cutely. "I also just can manipulate the Elements though I usually rely on magic. You might have a few more abilities than I do, but I also have something you do." She smiled cutely again.

[Blade]

Alek just smiled, looking up. "That's cute, kid." he said, then looked back down at Enki and Aquize. "Now, what's keeping your other friend?"
"Eh, Xipil is probably still training. Nobody focuses on battle the way he does." Aquize sounded iratated.
"That's a fire user for you. And you are the more peaceful, healer type, are you not?"
"Most definatly, i only fought because it seemed to be the right thing to do."

[Kiki]

Marci pouted. Nobody takes me seriously, she thought. Stupid spell... A Lucario appeared out of one of Marci's Pokeballs. "Lukey!"
"You really ought to not just pass people off because they look young," the Lucario said.

[Blade]

"And you are?" a golden Lucario walked up, looking at the other Lucario.
"Ah, Damini, good timing. And I was not passing her off, my friend. I honestly believe I've traveled further than she has. As for Magic, almost everyone in this D knows more than I do."

[Kiki]

"Luke," the Lucario said, bowing.
"Yeah. I'm way way older than I look. My full name's Marcella Inori Iteh'li Month'li. I'm a Valacia native," Marci said. "I was born well over 20,000 years ago. But my own husband put a spell on me to make me like this>'

[Blade]

"A strange name, although i'm one to talk. I am Alek Senteri, and this is Damini, my Lucario." Alek waved his hand towards Damini.

[Kiki]

"I'm from a different planet," Marci said. Her voice had grown a bit more like a woman's than that of a child.

[lol. In the last thread, she called Xiphil {basically} a stupid chicken foot fungus]

[Blade]

(And i needed to know that why? ;D)

"Ah, I am from another Demention." Alek said, "Most likely the same or close to the demention of these four," he waved towards Aura, Enki, and Aquize, "Although they only amount to three at the moment, the fourth is off somewhere."

[Kiki]

Marci nodded, then sweatdropped. "The annoying Fire user?" she asked.

[Blade]

(It did)

"Yes, you've seen him? Soooo annoying isn't he?" Aquize said, looking at Marci.
"Aquize!" Enki said, looking at her, "You're talking about our friend!"

[Kiki]

"Yeah. He didn't believe me when I told him I could take him," Marci said. Her voice was much more serious and like a grown-up's now. "I get that a lot, but it still gets on my nerves like there's no tomorrow."

[Blade]

"Sounds like something he'd do, iratating isn't it?" Aquize said, walking over to the base of the tree to chat with Marci.
"Xipil is an important member of this team, and don't you forget it. Without him we would never have made it out of the Fire country, much less defeated Trevil." Enki looked over, and said, "Speaking of him, here he is now." Sure enough, Xipil was running up to the point.

[Kiki]

Marci's expression went flat, but she thought Xiphil probably wouldn't recognize her because of her hair and eyes being different.

[Blade]

Almost as soon as Xipil reached them, Aquize moved in. "Where were you? We've been waiting a long time, Xipil..." She continued yelling at him.
"Hey, calm down Aquize, I'm here now right? That's what matters!" Xipil said, looking at Aquize. "And who's that guy?" He was looking at Alek. He either didn't notice Marci, or didn't care.

[Kiki]

A Greek sphynx-like animal landed. The bright reds, blues and golds made her noticeable. "Marci! There you are!" she said. Marci sweatdropped.
"I can look after myself!" Marci whined, her voice back to the child one.

[Blade]

Xipil didn't react, showing he had noticed Marci and was ignoring her. "So, where to, Enki?"
Enki looked over at Alek, "his place, he's offered to teach us how to control all four elements!"

[Kiki]

"But I understand your concern." Marci smiled cutely and patted the broma's leg. "You are my familiar, after all, and we've been together over 15,000 years.

[Blade]

"Well, are we going to get going or what?" After being yelled at, Xipil was back to his old self.
"Hold on, we'll leave after our friend." Alek said, looking at Xipil.

[Kiki]

"Bye," Marci said, waving. She returned Luke, then climbed on the broma. "If you ever need me, I'll most likely be in the ghost town." She smiled cutely again, then the broma took off

[Blade]

"Ok, now we can go." Alek said. "While you're staying with me you'll learn some manners yet!"
