The Waking of Will

Subject: The Waking of Will Thu Mar 06, 2014 6:00 am

Asei and Will's bodies fell through the rifts of the portals, until finally she'd felt her body hit solid earth hitting her head against it. She was off balance at this point, it even felt as if whatever she was drugged with before had not completely left her body. Asei jumped up to find that both her and Will had landed not far from what used to be the small home. At this point it was not all there from Lust's attacks before. However there was enough there to make due for the time being, because she needed to get Will back on his feet and out of this rut. Not sure if she was hearing the sounds of the Avatars fighting in the distance or if a storm was brewing she began to move Will to the falling apart cabin.

Tugging at him and using her strength to get him to safety trying to keep her eyes on the surrounding area. "Gods you weigh a ton." She murmured to herself as she dragged him. It seemed that using this omnipotence right now would be the best choice, but Asei did not feel comfortable using it. Finally reaching the falling apart building she found the bed still intact and pulled Will up onto it. And before she'd been done, Asei could hear the cry of wolves in the distance. Cussing to herself she quickly left Will there to make sure these wolves were no where to be found around them. Although she could not spot any she had kept her eyes open on the area.

Once the clouds began to roll in, dark and low they were. The air became light, and it was easy to see nature had been upset and was lashing out. Moving back into the beaten cabin she moved and pushed the bed to the area that had the most shelter from rain. Finding the cloth that was used for covering she placed it over Will, her body was tired and her mind was at it's limit. She sat down next to the bed pushing her back against what was left of the wall her knees close to her chest she rested her head against them. At that moment the rain began to fall from the sky, most of it hitting against Asei's body only half her body free from it. Hearing small amounts of thunder but none that were close by right now. Her eyes began to drift, and she knew the option of helping Will heal right now was no option. Asei fell into a light slumber, her ears peeked for sounds other than the rain and thunder. Seeing the flashes of light every few moments before finally falling asleep.

Will's eyes slowly opened as he came to his senses from an unconscious state of mind. His entire body was in pain as it hurt to let out a single breath through his lips as the hot breath formed a misty like appearance in the air. He wanted to use his abilities to instantly heal himself but on his body rested runes and hexes that prevented him from doing so. He was in a state of complete powerlessness, but that would not stop the embodiment of Will. He could not speak or say anything due to a broken jaw and several missing teeth, but he was not sure of the current status of his entire body, he only felt pain but he was determined to try and move. He tried moving his legs first and upon doing so he let out a disgruntled scream of agony. Tears rolled down his face as he realized every bone in his body had been broken besides his neck. He slowly but painfully moved his head to the side to see Asei in the fetal position.

A crack of thunder echoed across the night sky as he formed a half-baked smile, despite all of his pain and suffering he was at ease knowing that it had not gone in vain. The girl he was trying to so desperately to protect was safe; she held her own and was able to escape the dangers of all of the avatars. A part of him wanted to reach out to her as she was clearly not in high moods, his finger twitched at the thought, it hurt to attempt it, unfortunately for him he could not even physically move his arm, the nerves and blood flow were all completely dead.

His breathing had become heavier, as if he had actually been craving a clear flow of oxygen and his lungs were getting readjusted, unfortunately each breath had caused him immense pain. He turned his head to look back at the dismantled ceiling and once again feeling sad, as he currently had wanted nothing more than to live a peaceful care free life.

Once silence hit Asei's ears she heard a small breath that was not her own. Her senses began to wake first her touch, because the rain that had soaked her body ran cold. The skies were dark as her eyes came from the blur of sleep, with the erratic flashes of light. Her eyes snapped open as she remembered Will laying next to her on the cot, jumping up she looked to his face with another flash of light she could see his eyes open. Alarmed, Asei began to move her hands to him. "Why won't you talk?" It was too dark to see all she had wanted to, but after her long years of being around the dead, she had learned of the close to dead also. If he could not talk, then she could barely imagine what the rest of his body was expressing. Her hands frantically moved to the hairclip, removing it pulling out strands of her hair with the tug then she wrapped her hands around one of Will's placing the clip into his palm holding it there. Another flash of light and a glitter of wetness glimmered on Will's face. Asei could not help to feel the same exact wetness from her eyes streaming down.

She did not know what to do and the lack of knowing was bringing her to a complete downfall. She placed her face against the hand she held tightly onto and masked it into their hands. Asei hated the fact that she did not know how to help him right now and could not know his condition. But there had to be something, anything. She'd thought through the possibilities as another flash of thunder roared from the skies. The rain was hitting against her back as she leaned over Will, trying not to touch against him. Asei was hopeless once again in this world of death. The sounds of wolves once more in the distance echoed within the air.

[[ Dreadful Moments ]]

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Thu Mar 06, 2014 6:37 pm

"Why wont you talk?" The sad voice echoed in his mind as the tearful Asei tried to get him to mutter a word, something to let her know everything was going to be okay. The sound of the wolves going ever closer did make him nervous, he had thought about his missing omnipotence, and in that instant Asei had attempted to return it to him. It rested in his hand for a moment, sadly though he could not feel it, he could not force the connection needed to use its power so out of frustration he simply motioned his eyes to his now curled fist. Out of sheer frustration he attempted to talk, and with each garbled word he could be seen crying from the pain. It did him no good as all of his words made pretty much no sense. "Lent me your hant" He had spoke in a way to cause as little pain as possible and required the least actual jaw movement. "Wissst" He knew the only thing that could save him was the power of will... but in his current state his will power was not strong enough, he needed more of it, like all avatars... he too fed on the aspects humanity... and in this case he needed will power from a human.

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Fri Mar 07, 2014 1:54 am

With the moments seeming like decades Asei finally heard Will trying to speak, her head jolting up from against his hand concentrating on his words. At first they made no sense to her and she had trouble with it. "I do not unders-.." She'd been cut off by another howl in this distance, this time closer. From his sounds it was obvious he had been in so much pain and she wanted to end his pain. Instinctively she reopened his hand she had kept closed and as she stared at the shadows of it she moved the frail hand to his chest carefully spreading his fingers to lay flat then she slid her hand with the omnipotence touching between their palms. The coldness from him made her feel a pain within her chest, which confused her. It was some thing she recognized.. But it was also very new. Asei stared at Will's face once more, the flashes of light gave her the advantage of seeing him. Deep into her thoughts she began to remember the things he had done for her and why he had been in this situation now. He had given her a chance to live once more but with the possible cost of his own life. Will had told her that he would not kill her just because she did not have a fruit as the others. Now here she played the part of an Einherjar for him. Keeping him safe now was her goal, the tables turning and this did not bother her in the least. This male figure had made an impact on her since she woke from that coffin, and now to here where her emotions played.

Asei leaned up towards Will's face, where she gained a better look at him. Her eyes were clear, and the only thing she could think to do was smile gently at him. "Everything will be okay now, your warrior will protect you." If her eyes were seen within a flash from the lighting there would be a sense of hope within them, a calm yet strong twinkle. Her face moved closer to Will's only to allow their lips to meet lightly, Asei had never kissed anyone before but this felt right to her, this moment of calming a soul this was the only way she felt was right. With holding her lips lightly over his she stilled for a moment before the sound of a growl was only steps away. Pulling her head up Asei smiled once more, she knew even if she would die tonight, she would want him to have a good memory of her. Using the omnipotence once more forming a sword in her free hand she left the clip under his hand and turned to the waiting beasts.

[[ Silent Storm ]]

Another flash of lighting, she spotted three wolves staring towards her. She ran towards them, the sword she held down to her side the wolves began to move back to defense or were a bit surprised at her movement. Asei knew she needed to keep them from Will, and she would fight anything off at this point to keep him alive. She'd stopped making sure she had their attention, she did however they began to circle her now their teeth ready, growling. The wolf behind her attempted to throw a bite at one of her legs but she was quick to kick the beasts nose, it whelped and the other two jumped in to protect their friend. One attempted to bite as the other did before but she managed to move the leg before it grabbed a hold, the other wolf Asei had slashed at with the sword making impact. Not being able to see completely she had guessed with hearing it cry out. However she felt a strong push from behind of the wolf attempting to knock her down she fell forward but caught herself and turned quickly to find three wolves once again ready, crouched. They stalked her as if she was the intruder to them, which she had been an intruder to them because she was on their hunting grounds.

They began to snap at her now, faster they became for she was an enemy. Asei swung the sword strongly once more hitting another wolf before jumping away from a snap another performed. Ending this quickly would be her best option before they managed to get the footing over her. She swung at the wolf at her side this time she managed to slice away a good chunk of meat because she felt the warmth of the blood landing onto her own cold skin. That wolf retreated with sounds of whelping, the others seemed to grow angry at her even more and began circling once more. Each time they attempted to snap at her she only evaded they were tiring her out and she didn't even notice. At this point they pretended to retreat only to come from the shadows to attack. Each time growing closer to biting into her skin, a few managed to graze her skin but not enough to throw Asei from her feet. Once again she was slicing away at these wolves. Another fled, which left the last one who seemed much faster than the other two.

Once again she stood face to face with an enemy, the both of them attempting to throw the other off only made Asei run low on energy. Her breaths deepened, her throat dry the only thing that fueled her was keeping Will alive long enough for him to fend for himself. But she felt this battle was won already which was a simple thought of downfall. The wolf lunged at her legs once more this time its teeth sunk into the leg, and the wolf jerked it's head back and forth as the teeth dug deeper in. Asei screamed out as it did so, taking this moment to stab through the wolves neck downward, she used all her force to do so and the wolf fell silently to the ground. Before she regained her footing she had been knocked down by a strong force quickly turning her body one of the stray wolves charged for her, jumping and holding her down it began to snap at her throat in hopes of latching it's sharp teeth into it. Asei kicked the wolf away with all her force and tried to rise only to have the wolf once again on her tired body. She used her hands to push the beasts body away only to have given it the advantage of baring it's teeth onto her shoulder, pinning her down biting down harder. Asei cried out, this time tears found her face from the pain. Reaching for her sword only to have it inches from her grasp, inching closer and closer with allowing the wolf to bite even deeper until her fingers glided across the hilt her hand instantly grabbed a hold of it and she forced the blade up through the dogs throat. The blood was thrown at her and the rain began to come down harder in attempt to wash it from her face. Pushing it from her body she dragged her bleeding body back to Will's side dragging the blade against the ground.

As she made her way into the half fallen down cabin she'd began to feel everything blur. Keeping the cot that had Will upon in her sights, making her way to the side of it her body began to deny her movements. Feeling the stinging pain from the bites almost unable to even let out a cry from her own pride she could not help it. Finally she moved to Will's side dropping the sword nearby, she once again moved her body against the wall near him. Placing her head against the wall that had still been in tact. She could hear his attempts to talk once more but she simply silenced him. "Do not fret, a wolf bite cannot stop me.. I need to rest." She winced as she moved her hand once again up under his resting it there, allowing her eyes to close. Yes she needed to rest her eyes, and she did so.

[[ A Fight For Emotion ]]

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Sat Mar 08, 2014 1:02 am

As virgin lips were pressed against his, her sense of Will to take care of will, was what had begun to bring life back into his lifeless body. Slowly he would heal, as Avatars would normally feed on several Will would only learn to live off of one. It did not bother him for in the end he wanted nothing else. Will would go through several perils in his mind as he was forced to depend on Asei, fear for her well-being. The wolf attack was only the start of their troubles, as with the next six months they would be on a constant struggle for survival. After all Will have his rights taken away, he no longer lived by the laws that the avatars did not have to live by. He was no longer immortal, thanks to the events in the avatar gathering which meant soon his time would come if he say and did nothing. On more than one occasion would his brother Courage would come to his side when he needed him, if not for any other reason other than to keep the other Avatars from finding Asei and himself.

He would grow healthier and healthier with each day, but he knew he could never go back to being what he once was. He would have to learn how to walk all over again, how to eat, and how to use his powers that were now impossible unless he had his Avatar weapon and Asei by his side. Not all hope was lost, because within his torment he found a form of peace and a form of happiness with Asei by his side. He had grown fond of her, and because he literally could not survive without being around her it was only a matter of time before he found himself infatuated with human emotions. At first he thought nothing of them, and dismissed them as having a simple need for her that was scientific in nature. Asei would soon disprove this to him, in her stubbornness to not let him ignore his own emotions.

Time and time again he was forced to realize that he had not only found something he was willing to die for, but someone who was ready to die for him. No bond between champion and Avatar was stronger, and they proved it together time and time again. Eventually it had come time for them to begin moving again, and they began to travel at night, camping in the wilderness was a simple task when you combined their abilities, albeit when emotions ran high keeping up protective barriers became harder to focus on when caught up in the moment.

As time went by they would travel a decent half of Eden in hopes of finding some way to end this calamity, Will had long given up on maintaining a peaceful stand point, but he was in no condition to fight, and he was not going to allow Asei to go in alone. He carried with him an old book, which held the language of the Avatars. Knowledge that was written when they were born. He studied it harshly, in hopes of finding some way to bend the rules of his immortality, or at the very least remove the hexes on his body that forced him to be handicapped compared to his brothers and sisters.

After three months and a series of wild goose chases, He had decided to take a well-deserved break. He and Asei would return to their home that had appeared to be in shambles, but that was only to the untrained eye. Throughout their travels they had continuously come back to their home, and while traveling they had met many tribes and clans of a friendly nature. They shared knowledge and tools, and Will and Asei treasured the gifts they had received.

Their home was now completely cloaked, it had resembled the destroyed area that it once was but when one would lift up and underground latch, and climb down wooden stairs. One would find a furnace, and several rugs that covered the ground. Lying on these rugs wrapped up in all white sheets was Asei and Will lying naked together, after a long night. Inside the cave, one could see paintings that hung on the walls, and weapons made of steel forged from the flames of the volcano. Clothes were littered all over the rugs, many of them all from different eras and time periods of earth.

Will was resting on his back, one armed being crushed by Asei as she rested her head on his chest, he was a sound sleeper despite his single foot that was out from underneath the sheets, and the hilarious curved tent he was pitching meant that he would probably be waking up relatively soon, in an attempt to calm the beast. His eyes twitched slightly before he opened them not moving at all feeling a light weight on him. His arm had went numb from a lack of blood flow, and he found himself using his free hand to pluck small blonde hairs out of own hair. Feeling around in his mouth he chuckled as he pulled a blonde hair from his mouth as well.

Not wanting to wake Asei up right away he slowly began to move himself from underneath her gently letting her rest her head on the make shift pillows they had made from piling several blankets and sheets together. The bird life in Eden was far too feral to consider plucking them to make feathered pillows. He took a sheet with him to cover himself up as he began to make his way outside; sadly one of the consequences of losing one’s immortality also meant nature called.

It was snowing outside, but the cold didn't bother Will too much, he was going to finish his business and quickly get back inside where it was warm, and comfortable. As he made yellow snow he let out a deep breath to let the chilled air fill his lungs. It felt refreshing to him honestly, as he finished his business he turned to go back inside. He was using a cane to walk as he had not finished healing yet. He was however good enough to do a few other things that he personally found more important.

Making his way back into the cave he made a diving like motion next to Asei and pulled her closer to him, not caring if he would wake her up or not. His hands caressed her skin, before he kissed her on the forehead urging her to wake up, it wasn't for any particular reason, but he was up so he wanted her to be up with him.

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Sat Mar 08, 2014 5:27 am

Eyes opening groggily Asei's vision found Will hovering somewhat over her warm body. At the kiss upon her forehead she grinned at him closing her eyes quickly. Peeking at him through the small openings. Knowing he would catch her she would do it, and of course he did and began to tickle her lightly until she'd laugh pushing away from him. Somehow her thoughts managed to betray her as they both settled down. After many long months Asei started to dream differently, her old dreams filled with sorrow were now filled with only Will's face. But now she feared what she had with him would be taken away just as quickly.

Within the months of both of them learning of each other, her seeing him become more human Asei did not want someone she felt so strongly about taken from her once again. Being wrapped up in these moments with him sometimes Asei would forget about what was happening around them, but recently it's been haunting her. Even at times she wake from her new nightmares of seeing Will die, and other times it was her own death that led him to his. Her face had shown grimace, with the thoughts. The time was coming for the both of them, they would need to fight soon cause Asei felt it; sensed it within the air. Around them the fights grew stronger, some days you could hear the battles within the wind others there was dead silence. Asei felt a chill which made her shiver, pulling the sheets over her body and pushing herself closer to Will. Not feeling completely able to trust her voice she sang the song she recalled from her past. Her voice was almost a whisper as she expressed her feelings through her tones against his chest.

[[ Song of Sorrow ]]

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Mon Mar 10, 2014 8:30 pm

Will was content with holding her for the moment, but he knew that they would have to get up as usual and go through their regular preparations, while he got more accustomed to life without many powers, Asei on the hand would get accustomed to life with them. The roles had slightly been switched in a sense as Asei would use the hair piece to get them from place to place, will would use the hair piece to enhance himself into a temporary state where he was his old self again, his current time limit was extended to thirty minutes, but it was not always this way.

The two of them had not given up on their search for a new way to fight against the avatars, they had heard of several animals who had ate the fruit and were granted abilities that far exceeded what the humans had normally seen. These animals were giant in size, far larger than any Alpha, and to top of it off rumor had spread these creatures were lucky enough to eat a second apple and live. Will and Asei were both on the search for these creatures, in hopes of taming them.

Will had even gone as far as attempting to get Ichiro to fly out towards the tree and grab an extra apple, but the birds natural instincts forbid it to eat from the tree. At this current stage in Ichiro's life he was at his prime a proud hawk like creature that was extremely independent.

"So do you feel like hunting the beast again or do you want to spend a lazy day inside" He said with a warm smile, as his fingers gently stroked through her hair.

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Wed Mar 12, 2014 4:39 am

Asei heard his words as her fingers lightly grazed along the scar on his chest. Staring at it for a moment before looking up at him and grinning as she moved onto her back to stare up at nothing really. As her mouth still grinned she responded. "Oh.. Well those options are so hard to choose from. I'd love to stay here for another day but I know that we need to do this... You must choose. I cannot." She picked herself up letting the sheet fall from her body turning to look at Will blushing a bit.

"Are you sure you can make a trip." Asei giggled lightly as she picked at Will. She liked keeping his spirits up when she could, after all that happened moments such as these she had craved. What would she become if he died? Or what would happen to him if she had?

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Wed Mar 19, 2014 8:29 pm

Will let off a smirk as he slowly got back up on his feet, letting the sheet that had been covering him drop. "I am sure I can do plenty" A devilish grin emerged from his smirk, as he stood there, waiting. His eyes locked on to hers, and he simply stared, knowing it had an effect on her like none other. A few seconds felt like minutes and seeing her get a bit flustered, he quickly sat back down, slipping on his trousers, which had been nearby. After adjusting his pants to fit comfortably, he hopped on one leg over to Asei, in order to avoid moving on his leg that he couldn't stand to well on. He pressed his chest against hers and kissed her on the forehead again before grabbing a different cane and using it to support himself as he slipped on a long sleeved white shirt. He began to button it up, but he couldn't take his eyes of Asei while he did so, it was something he was not used to, being human... having urges like the one he had just had... the things his brothers and sisters represented so well, were all spewing out of him, and the concept almost made him worry from time to time.

As he thought about it, another thought wrung in his head. "Lust" On more than one occasion, had the Avatar eater attempted to take Will for his collection. He had thought about how to combat him, from time to time, he had also felt an unappealing form of happiness for his sister’s punishment. He was not sure what it was he was feeling as another part of him couldn't help but feel sorry for her. His worries were written all over his face, but it was also an extremely confused mess of emotions as he still had his eyes locked on Asei's ass at the time, so he found himself, happy, sad, turned on and frustrated that he could feel so many things at once.

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Thu Mar 20, 2014 1:08 am

For some reason Asei found her face growing red as Will stood, she still had problems not acting like a young lady in his presence. And that grin he had always undid her, making Asei's emotions flare and even making her want to ravish it with her own mouth. Watching him for a moment as he began to dress before going to find her own clothing for today. Finding a simple pair of black shorts which in the time of having wore them so long Asei became used to wearing them, and even cause for easy movement when walking and running. Moving her back to Will as she felt his eyes upon her letting out a small giggle as she bent over to get her shorts on giving him a small show. Then picked up a random deep red shirt pulling it over her head, noticing it was a shirt that only went down to her bellybutton.

Turning to look at Will, Asei noticed him deep in thought and became curious but also worried with his expression. Moving towards him slowly, Asei simply placed a hand lightly on his face. "Worrying over what is on your mind will only cause turmoil in your heart. I know this all too well Will." Letting a small comforting smile spread across her lips as she spoke gently. Even if Asei could not understand his inner thoughts and emotions his expression had shown something familiar, all too familiar. With it attempting to push her own battles aside to help him relax his mind. "We have much to accomplish, but please do not push yourself this time?" Asei moved her face closer to his pressing her mouth against his mouth, lightly kissing it before moving her face back a bit.

Subject: Re: The Waking of Will Sat Mar 22, 2014 12:58 pm

Will nodded to her in agreement; there she went again dragging him back to reality. Now that he was dressed he began to make his way up and out of there small home underground. He slowly climbed up as he had done before but not before making sure Ichiro was back to him resting on his shoulder. He then opened the book that constantly wrote the history of Eden, flipping through it to see what his siblings had been up too, He had completely skipped over wisdom assuming wisdom had not done anything useful as always, but then he noticed a new name in the book... something he had not seen before. "Zero...." He wanted to read any information but for some reason the only thing that showed up in the book was the name Zero.

Will dismissed this incident for now, and then went back to his search he had caught up with the likes of Rage, who at the time was out hunting other Avatars with no real leads... Rage was hovering around the roots expecting someone to show up there in an attempt to hide, Lust was still trapped inside of the energy draining prison that Shiro had made for her, at that moment those were the only two who actively wanted to kill Will. He let out a sigh of relief to see that Courage was still alive and well, and not looking into the past but looking into the present he noted that Pain and Joy were now traveling together... but something was off about that in general.

He lastly checked up on Greed, Hope, and Time, Time was always able to evade the things written in the book because he could alter his time stream and nothing written in the book could be considered accurate, hope on the other hand... hope... hope was wasn't particularly in hiding but he wasn't out in the open either, for the past few months he had been just walking around Eden, almost seemed aimlessly. Greed as expected was on the hunt for food, eating whatever she could get her hands on that had a soul.

Will was always slightly thrown off by his sibling’s odd habits, but disregarded it. He then went to the back of the book to take a look at the creature encyclopedia, none of the descriptions in particular said anything about a creature eating two apples, but he had been looking for particular strong creatures... creatures that seemed ahead of all the others. "Let’s go see if this one is intelligent enough to have eaten two apples" He pointed out towards a creature that resided in the islands, but not in the main islands rather the smaller islands that did not have any specific traits about them.

The creature had no name, but its abilities appeared to be instant regeneration, this made Will believe that it was to an extent immortal, so with that logic in mind it had to have eaten two apples for an ability that cut out the need to try to survive, in this land.
