Hey Ombra~ It's me, Sharaes. Masil visited last night and she told me all the dragons were being killed? That's not good. Anyway we'll see if there's something we can do about that. In the meantime if you're ever in trouble you and your host are more than welcome to stay in the Lakes~
Seeya~

Well, its not so much future knowledge as information we got from a different timeline. We didn't actually spend that much time around the Oli we met in that timeline...

Sorry, we don't have any information about Oli courtship. The Oli girl we met last time got angry at us because she was friends with Regulus. While he wasn't behind the conspiracy last time, he was still a huge dick, so we had managed to kill him. She was upset that we did so without giving him a trial or anything.

I think Oli like rules.
>>
No. 523555 ID: 23b97a

Ummm. We only knew one Oli in the other future. And she was a girl. And she liked Regulus. So... um. No, I'm sorry, we don't have any Oli specific romantic advice.

>You think he wants to die!?
Possibly? He's very old, and this definitely seems like a passing on the torch thing.

Doesn't necessarily mean it will happen soon, though. I mean, his tying up of loose ends might be longer than your natural life span.

Damn... That's not gonna be much help here.

>>523541
I can 'try' being direct. Also I don't know where the hell he put my stuff so I'm stuck in this loincloth it seems. Maybe I should just stick with his people's clothing while I'm here. See if that helps with the training.
And other things.

>Anyhow, from the sounds of things Oli just turn into rocks when they're done with living. Not the same as being dead. Maybe they can even come back later. Let's look into that, might be a good project for him to stick around for.

Hmm... I'll need to ask him about this.

Saisai hears someone moving outside the cave.

Maybe that's him...

She gets up and makes her way to the entrance. Her steps are unsteady due to her fatigue and new tail but she manages to make it out the cave. There she sees Alcarin sitting by the edge of the cliff.

>"Saisai. You are awake."

"Yeah. Thanks for carrying me and stuff..."

>"Do not thank. You would have died if I did not help. Next time I say stop, I mean stop."

"Ah. Sorry."

>"It is fine. Now you know."

She sits down beside him

"You're not tired?"

>"My people do not sleep much. 4 hours, at most."

"Wow. So I guess you have a lot of time on your hands every day."

He nods.

"So... What do you like to do when you're not training me?"

>"I hunt. I climb. I visit the graves of my people. I live a simple life here."

"Have any hobbies?"

He shakes his head.

"Right. I would imagine there's nothing much to do up here."

>"Yes. But you are here now, so my day has purpose. Teaching you has made my day better."

>Tell him you enjoy being around him

"I uh... Enjoy you teaching me. And being around you."

Another nod

"So uhm... Mind if I ask you a few questions about your people? There's not a lot we know about them."

>"Ask."

"When you guys die you turn to stone, right?"

>"Yes."

"Is it possible to come out of the stone? Be reborn?"

>"Very. I have done so many times. We are immortal unless we wish to move on. Many of my people have moved on. And those that have not no longer answer when I reach to them."

"Are you planning on... Moving on?"

>"No. Not yet. I must teach you. Then I must teach Curses. And then Healing. I will be here for many more years. When you are gone, I will still be here. Perhaps until the time of your great great grandchildren. I can not allow Sage Magic to die."

"Okay. I was worried you were going to teach me and then kinda just... Off yourself."

>"No. Not for some time."

"Cool. So... Mind if I ask a few more questions?"

>"I do not mind."

Ask him if his horn is edible.

What?

"Is your horn edible?"

>"Yes. Some say it tastes like candy. People would sometimes break them off and steal them. They grow back though. Still, we hid them from then on."

"Oh that's cool. So howdoOlicourteachother."

>"... Excuse me?"

"Oh I was just you know curious about how Oli like you know, let another Oli know they're interested in them. Just cause you know no one really knows about you guys and I would like to be able to tell others how you guys worked there's really no books on you guys so it's all a mystery and I think people would like to know."

>"Ah. Courtship is simple between the Oli. We breed very slowly, our women would give birth once a century and the community would raise the child. Unlike humans there is no need to form strong families. We simply tell the one we are interested in that we would like to be their mate and that is that. Relationships vary. I have seen some last an hour and others last decades."

"So you would just tell that person you liked them?"

>"Yes."

"I see..."

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
I CAN'T SAY IT.
IF HE SAYS NO I DON'T THINK I COULD KEEP BEING HIS STUDENT
I WOULD JUST RUN AWAY AND HIDE UNDER A ROCK FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.

>"Are you okay?"

No. 523671 ID: bf54a8

but what do you have to fear? that this ONE guy you know says no? you have options girl, you are very pretty. so only reason i can think of to say no is he doesn't want a relationship with anyone.

Tell him you like him.

Worst case, he says no. But I don't think he will. More likely, he'll say he doesn't know you well enough - and things will move on from there. The 'Freind Zone' happens when you don't make it clear what you want. So do so.

I give like a five percent chance of outright denial.

That reminds me, at some point you're going to need to cast soul bind. It's a pretty intimate spell, since anyone bound together by it will feel each other's emotions and some physical sensations, but if you cast it on someone with a naturally long lifespan your own will lengthen to match theirs. Just so you know.

Oh, and if you do go through with telling him you're attracted to him, let him know that you currently have some obligations that getting pregnant would interfere with, but that you are interested in forming a relationship with him.

>I WOULD JUST RUN AWAY AND HIDE UNDER A ROCK FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.
Yeah, and then he'd still be there waiting when you climbed out from under the rock. And the rock would probably turn out to be one of his relatives. So don't bother.

C'mon, take the chance. If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. That's worse than any temporary embarrassment.

...besides, he's got to have been around a few times. I'm sure he'll be able to let you down gently if it comes to that. Or alternatively, if he doesn't let you down... experience has it's advantages.

"So... Do Oli have relationships with other races?"

>"It has happened many times in the past. Humans and Dark Elves seem to be particularly attracted to us."

"Hahahaha I don't blame them."

>C'mon, take the chance. If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

"So would you like to... Have a relationship with me?"

Oh god I said it.
I actually said it.

Hours seem to pass as Alcarin stares off into the dark woods surrounding the mountain. Saisai's heart beats as fast as if she'd just finished sprinting up a hill and still he doesn't reply.
After what seems to be an eternity he turns to her and nods.


>"That is fine with me."

"Huh?"

>"I said that is fine with me. I have not spent time with anyone for many years and you seem to be pleasant company. However, it can only last as long as your training does. We both have things we must do after."

"That's uh... Fine with me."

>let him know that you currently have some obligations that getting pregnant would interfere with, but that you are interested in forming a relationship with him.

"Ah but you know we uh can't do anything... Sex related. I don't want to get pregnant. We can still like... Kiss and stuff."

>"Oli can not breed with humans."

"Huh?"

>"Oli can not breed with humans. Our relationships with them are purely for companionship and pleasure."

"Oh."

Hey guys, it's me Ombra the Shadow Sprite.
Let's play a little guessing game.
Who is currently being fucked by a buff Oli while forgetting that someone else is in her head?

-She's been acting like a horny teen all day
-And her name is Saisai.

Pff. What do you expect. Horny teenager offered consequence free sex with a gorgeous, mysterious, considerate immortal with probably more skill and experience than anyone else around could ever hope to live to acquire. She hit the jackpot for her first time. (...although I pity whoever has to follow that act).

And you were totally egging her on, little miss candy horn.

>>523770
Yeaaaaah I know. I'm glad for her. She's been on edge since she joined the Knights. Now she can burn off some of that and maybe focus on getting me back to life.

>>523776
They were already pretty well into it when I left. Ugh, it's weird even thinking about it. Also I can totally fly without burning up points. The powers that I have that cost points are
Possession: 10
Invisibility: 10
Shadow Ball: 10
Mind Reading (Surface thoughts only): 10
Open/Close: 10

So I'm good flying.

Also it seems there's none of those imps around even though they like swarmed when Saisai was outside.

Yeah, no. That'd mean I'd have to like go back in there and I don't think any of us want to see that.

>>523774
Yeah yeah, good for her. She's part tigerfolk so I imagine she has the stamina to keep up with him. Since we have free time let's see what my sister is up to.

Ombra flies towards the lakes and to Sharaes's cave.

"Hey! Sharaes!"

At her call the Dragon of Water pops out of the pond in the middle of her cave. She's in her merfolk form right now and when she sees Ombra she gives a squeal of delight and smiles at her

>"Ombra! You're so tiny and cute!"

"I'M NOT CUTE, DAMMIT!"

>"But you are~ What are you doing here? And why do you look like a fairy?"

"This is the only form I can take while I don't have a body. Still recovering. From getting hit with the Dragonslayer. You know, the blade you created."

>"..."

She looks away from Ombra.

>"I know... It's all my fault this happened... I'm the worst..."

Sharaes starts crying.

"H-hey! No you're not the worst! You had a good reason! I'm... Look, I don't like being like this okay? Sorry."

>"-sniffle- Okay... So, what's it like sharing a body with someone~?"

Aaaand she's back to normal.

"Annoying. I can't wait to get back to normal. Hey, did you ever find out what happened to the Dragon Shrine?"

>"Oh, right! It seems it was knocked over by something. I put it back up and it should be fine now."

"Good. Don't wanna hike to the nearest one."

>"Mhmm. It's all taken care of. You should just relax while you're here~ You know you two are more than welcome to stay here as long as you want~"

"Thanks for the offer but no. I gotta take her to see my people so she can learn some Soul Magic. Girl's as dumb as a bag of rocks though."

>"Don't say that about your host."

"She isn't here, I can say whatever I want. And even if she were what's she gonna do about it?"

>"I'm just saying... Masil and her host got along and worked together very well."

"Which is surprising considering how much of a bitch she can be."

>"Well... No offense but you can be a bit mean too... Remember Oraes?"

"Hmm? What about her?"

>"You know... With Aeryr..?"

"... No idea what you're talking about."

>"What? Really?"

"Yeah. What, was it because I ate her horn?"

>"Do you really not recall how she died?"

"Uh... No, not really. Wasn't it....... Oh, we got the Dragonslayer now."

Sharaes studies Ombra for a while before nodding

>"Well that's good. Keep a close eye on it. And do try to get back to normal. If anyone can bring back Thasti it's you."

"Never liked him but I guess it would be better to get them all back. Well, I'll see ya later sis."

>"Bye, Ombra."

Alright, where too now? I can see Masil or maybe chat up some Merfolk if they're up.
>>
No. 528367 ID: c95833

You're down to 99% percent power now. And that fight and conversation took... several minutes, at least. Meaning yeah, so long as nothing kills your fairy form, or you don't use more expensive powers than just existing, you should be able to stay out for hours.

...just be careful not to lose us, okay? You kind of poof away when the fairy form ends, and right now that would leave us stranded.

>Do you really not recall how she died?
...we, uh, might have some information on how that went down, if you want to know. You won't like it though.

>Masil or Merfolk

We should really follow up on what she was saying about Aeryr and Oraes later, unless it's something you were just playing dumb about. Which you shouldn't be doing with us. The alternative is you are actually being dumb about something you were involved with and possibly responsible for. What do you remember about Oraes' death?

Anyways, go talk to Masil.

Yeah, I guess. Girl is annoying as hell but she came back to life. Talking to her might be useful.

"Hey, Sharaes."

>"Hmm~?"

"Where's Masil?"

>"Ah, she's over there. She has her own chambers set up. Can't miss it."

"Thanks."

Ombra flies over to the direction where Sharaes pointed and sees Masil laying naked in a pile of velvet.

>"My my. When I sensed you looking for me I thought my powers had been messed up. It is nice to see I'm wrong~ What brings you here dearest Shadow Dragon. Or should I say Shadow Pixie? You are quite adorable in this form, you know."

"Dammit Masil... Can't you at least put some clothes on?"

Bet you she'll do that stupid thing where she pretends to stretch just to show off her boobs.

Masil yawns and stretches.

"Nya~. So what brings you here?"

Called it. We've been playing this stupid game for centuries. She just doesn't get the hint. She just thinks 'everyone' is interested in her. Well not me. Except right now. But that's just because she knows things I don't.

"So how did you come back to life exactly?"

>"Hehehe. I had Myli's help. The two of us worked together to restore my body and place my soul within it. Shame he's dead now, he might have been able to help ya, nya. And wasn't he the Human King? Man, he was so close. If only you'd asked him~"

God she's so fucking annoying, even when giving advice.

"So what can I do then?"

>"Like I'd said you need to work with your host, nya. The two of you work on her Soul Magic and once she gets it all you'll be revived nya. Simple really."

"Yeah well she's not the sharpest sword on the rack..."

>"Just work with her nya. My host and I worked hard on Alchemy. He didn't get it but at least he tried."

"It just won't work. She can't do magic and I'm worried she's gonna die before she can learn it all. If she does I do, you know that right?"

>"I'm aware, nya. But as it stands your only option is to work with her nya."

"I could just kill her and take over her body."

>"That has some downsides..."

"What? Like?"

>"The bodies we made for our people are not meant to hold souls like our own. If we tried to force it there's a chance the body could reject it. And even if it did accept it our souls are just too powerful. We would have to rest most of the day just to keep the body from burning out. It's probably the worst method of coming back to life."

".... I didn't know that."

>"Well you're not the Dragon of Life and Light~. The Dragon of Darkness and Souls can't possibly know all that I do~ Is there anything else you need to know? Please, ask. I would love to share some of my VAST knowledge with you, Ombra."

No. 528662 ID: 9ddf68

ask her if she has any other advice that she thinks will help. and by advice I mean things that will help you come back to the land of the living bring back Thasti, and/or help us stop what's his name before he can slay the rest of the dragons.

>could have asked Myli
Well yes, help might have been nice. Unfortunately, he was kind of too close to Regulus and all the evil plotting for us to tell if he was actually trustworthy until it was too late. And while his help would have been good, his interference or aggression would have been disastrous.

>body snatching bad
Well whataya know, there are concrete advantages to playing nice.

Besides, you know, not murdering a girl you've found yourself growing somewhat fond of, or taking her away from all her friends you sort of like and don't want hating you.

>darkness and souls v light and life
>vast knowledge
...well, some of what you know should overlap what she knows, or at least be complimentary. Life needs souls, and souls are attacked to life. Light and darkness are opposite sides of the same coin. Which means there's a place where your understandings overlap, and a place where you each know more about your side than the other.

She understands this coming back stuff from a life perspective. What about from a soul perspective?
>>
No. 528940 ID: b99cb6

So we have advice on bringing us back, what about the others? Supposedly you have the ability to pull the souls back out of the cycle or whatever but we have no idea how to do that really. So advice on the details of bringing back the dragons is needed. They'll need bodies to start with. And if any of the dragons need something special to come back we'll need advice there too. I seem to remember Oraes being a special case at least.

"So how exactly do I pull back souls from the cycle? That's my domain so do I just... Will it to happen?"

>"Never flexed your Soul Magic muscle?"

"Never had any reason to."

>"Tsk tsk, sister. It's quite simple once you get the hang of it. It's like your shadow powers. Just make it happen and it will. Though I doubt it'll work in your current form, nya."

"Right. Another thing. Do you really have to say 'nya'? You're not really a Catfolk."

>"I only do it cause it bothers you~ Nyaaa~"

"I hate you so much. So what else do I need to do to bring back the other dragons?"

>"Well if you have their soul they need a body, nya. Any will do but if you can restore their original one that's even better. For people like me, Thasti, and Aeryr that's a bit difficult since we're made out of our elements but for Myli, Sharaes, Oraes, and yourself that is easier. Just find a piece of the body and do some really crazy healing magic. I could possibly restore it, if I felt so inclined. Nya."

"If the time comes I'm going to ask you for your help and you better do it."

>"You and Aeryr decided to kill her. Got jealous of her having ALL the other races but the ones the other dragons had."

"... That doesn't sound like me."

>"Well I maaaaaay have nudged you along a bit~ Girl was so damn annoying."

"YOU WHAT!?"

>"Hey, you thought she was too powerful too. So did Aeryr. I just helped you guys along. Oh and also made it so you can't remember. Being the Dragon of Life is so great~ You won't even remember this conversation. I swear, we've had this talk like dozens of times already."

"I'm not going to forget this! YOU HAD ME KILL MY FRIEND! THE DRAGON OF THE OLI!"

>"Hey, isn't there one up in the mountain still?"

"I-! ..... Yeah. He's training with Saisai right now. Actually that's all we need to take care of before we can go see the Dark Elves. Then I'm coming back to life and you'll help me bring back the others."

"Never. Goodbye."

Talking to some Merfolk sounds nice. Honestly, I get a headache whenever I talk to Masil.

Ombra flies away from the cave. Unlike the Kingdom of Central the lakes are completely devoid of any magical or mechanical lights at night, with only the moon and the stars shining on the Merfolk's home. It's quite the sight.
Ombra lands by one of the lakes and whistles.
Years of talking to Sharaes has taught her some of the more basic Merfolk songs. The one she was singing meant 'Friend'.
Soon enough a Merfolk child pokes their head out from under the water.

Oh, yeah, Masil revealed she 'nudged' you and Aeryr into killing Oraes. Something about Oraes being annoying and too powerful. She said she was going to erase your memory of the conversation--apparently this isn't the first time she's told you about that.

Hey. Ombra. Masil's blocking some of your memories. You're gonna want to find out how to fix that eventually and prevent her from doing it again. Just an FYI. Might want to do that for all the other dragons too, because she's probably blocking some of their memories as well.

As for the merfolk, uh, tell her this is just a form you're stuck in and you're actually Ombra. Maybe you can learn a more advanced merfolk song? It's worth spending some time to do that, since we don't have much else to do.

just tell him/her not to call you cute. Oh and those headaches you get from talking to Masil are from her erasing/suppressing certain memories as well as her being a real pain to talk to. Like how she tricked you into killing Oraes cause she thought she was a bitch.

"Do you not know? I AM THE GREAT AND POWERF-ah, forget it. It's not worth it."

Ombra just floats down and sits by the edge of the lake and dips her feet into the water.

It's not like anyone but the Dark Elves knew about me nowadays anyway.

"I'm just a fairy. So, what's your name?"

>"Arana."

"Arana. I'm Ombra."

>"Nice to meetcha Miss Ombra."

"Same."

The Merfolk smiles at her and hums the song of Friendship. It hums half of it and Ombra smiles a bit and hums the other half.

>"Now we're friends!"

"Yep."

>>529842
>>529833
She did WHAT!? Why

Songs could be useful. I'm actually quite the singer if I do say so myself.

"Hey, do you know any like healing songs?"

>"Mhmm! Wanna hear?"

"Please. I want to learn it."

The Merfolk and Ombra spend the next hour going over the Song of Healing. It's fairly complex but soon Ombra is able to sing it as well as any other Merfolk

>"Wow! I've never seen anyone who's not a Merfolk get it that fast! You're amzaing Miss Ombra!"

"Haha yeah, I know I am."

>"I gotta go back to sleep. Goonight Miss Ombra."

"Night, kid."

The Merfolk whistles the Song of Friendship and waits for Ombra to finish it before going back into the lake.

Well that might be useful later on. The Song of Healing is pretty powerful against illnesses.

You know I'd spent like 17 years inside you guys, right? The Guardian, I mean. I thought I was gonna go crazy in there. It's cold and there was no one to talk to. Nothing to see but the darkness of the box I was in. The past few weeks have actually been pretty fun for me.
And like... Not just because I've spent so long trapped away. I mean this is the most I've done in centuries.
After the big fight between us Dragons I kinda just... Didn't do anything. Even that bitch Masil has more of a life than I do.
And you guys said you're from an alternate timeline and so far all I've heard about myself is that I tried to kill my other host. I'm guessing I've done 'nothing' other than that that's actually of note.
God, since when have the Dragons been less interesting than the people we created.
It's only now that I don't have unlimited power that I realize just how boring it was.

Bleh. What the hell am I saying all of this to you for. It's not like any of it matters. Saisai will learn Soul Magic, I'll leave, and everything will go back to normal.

but now that you know what it's like yo wont be able to go back to being bored all the time. you could involve yourself with the people's lives. myli was the king of the humans, and while she is a jerk, masil sometimes grants wishes. i am sure there is something you could do.

Hmm. Ombra, do you know any way to restore locked-away memories?

As for your future, you don't have to just go back to doing nothing. You can resurrect Oraes, and hang out with her again. Maybe take on a body and wander around having adventures.
>>
No. 529848 ID: 9ddf68

you know no one says you have to go back to doing nothing, you could travel, involve yourself more with your people, use your powers to just generally fuck with people for shits and giggles. you know something other then sit in a cave all day and brood. Hell maybe even get laid. I mean even Saisai is getting more action then you have lately and by lately I mean within the last century... unless there's someone you wouldn't mind telling us about.

Hrrrm. Well. Alternate you had a job of guarding a vault with this item called the goldeon watch in it then, but you sound like you used to drown in your indolent slothfulness. To be fair, infinite shadow powers or whatnot probably kinda helps that out a bit! Why go somewhere when you can teleport whatever you want to you? Or something like that.
As far as how to break that? Hrm. Well, you could be more involved with your dark elves this time, as opposed to...whatever you used to do.

Well, yes, you did. Other-you was a lot more stubborn on that front. Took... days, if not weeks to get you to warm up.

You did some other stuff too, though! You were the guardian of a powerful artifact before you died. You got your host to strongarm Masil into resurrecting Oraes. You helped a dark elf get through this freaky shadow monster mind-game manifestation puberty thing.

And it's not like you-you haven't done anything. Look at what a difference you made to crazy! A robot with a dragon-fairy friend. There's something new.

You do realize that once you get your body back, you can do whatever you want, right? There's no reason you can't assume a human (dark elf, whatever) form and live things up a little. I mean, you can even bother or impose on Saisai and there's not much she could do about it. Heck, maybe you can even gnab us and go on an adventure of your own this time! (You've been stuck with us long enough you gotta count as family).

>Also
...we're pretty sure your memory is skipping over something. We'd tell you what, but every time we do, you forget again.

So let's just say you've forgotten something. You know about anything that restores or protects memories?

You have memories of when you were alive, therefore your soul has some form of memory retention. Perhaps you can use soul magic to protect that aspect of your memory from being touched next time Masil does something bitchy with your physical mind?

... come to think of it.. if Masil's capable of affecting you with her life powers without being noticed, could she have done something to Saisai?
Like, say, prod certain emotion-effecting organs to make her want to jump the bones of the first guy she had any interest in? I know we sorta talked her into it but the foundation was there.

Remember, Masil has done worse just to be a pain in the ass. Saisai may need another checkup once she's calmed down.

Yeah... I guess.

>Hmm. Ombra, do you know any way to restore locked-away memories?

Can't say I do. Masil might know but I'm done talking with her for today.

>>529908
What? I don't think Masil has that kind of power over people's t>>529848
Har har. No there's no one I've been interested in. I'm a Dragon. Why would I have any sort of attraction to any of the other races? Sure Masil, Myli, and Sharaes might but I'm not like them. Me, Aeryr, and Thasti have chosen to remain celibate. Like how Dragons are supposed to. Though I think for Thasti it was more of a 'Can't not want to murder something long enough to have sex' sort of thing.

>>529877
Hmm... Going on adventures would be nice. Change of pace from what my life normally was. I'll consider that.
For now though...
I think I just want to relax here by the lakes for as long as I can.
It's peaceful out here.
