Elementals: Void Assault

Phil looked up in horror as Toran was tossed towards his feet. "Toran?..." Phil said weakly, thoughts stuck on worst case scenarios. Suddenly the shadow of something huge, something dangerous loomed overhead. Looking up, Phil's facial expression went from shock to Terror as he saw a ball of water threaten to flood the entire tent. ... It really is Will isn't it? Phil thought to himself in disbelief. Phil, feeling a mixture of anger and sorrow, picked up Toran just as the ball of water hit the floor. Both Phil and Toran were quickly engulfed by water, as was the rest of the Big Top. The water tore past them causing pain that could only be compared to small razor blades cutting through their flesh. It was cold but Phil braved it and started swimming upwards. Suddenly, the water got even colder and turned to ice. Quickly being encased in ice, Phil tried to glance through the semi-transparent ice. All Phil could see was that he was close to the surface of the ice and that it was fairly weak. Phil looked at Toran, who was still unconscious in Phil's arms. He looked... Bad. Phil put his hand on Toran's head and used his healing light on Toran. After a second, Toran burst into life. Now, Phil knew he had to get out; an old "friend" was waiting for him. Phil shot a burst of intense light to open up his prison and he climbed out. Instinctively, Toran flew out through a hole in the tent's roof. Good, he has suffered enough. Phil turned towards Will, a look of anger and betrayal spread across his face. it wasn't easy for Phil to look at Will with these emotions, especially after he had welcomed him into this nightmare and made him feel... like he belonged. Phil took a breath and started to walk. Phil was using small steps of light so he didn't slip on the ice. He approached Will but noticed that Cora was already there. “Will, what is the meaning of this? How dare you betray us -- me. I thought you were better than this.” Cora said with a hint of... sorrow in her voice. Phil, feeling a lot more pissed that Cora, Shouted "Yeah, what the fuck man?! What you did to Toran just now..." Phil eyes turned almost murderous. "I'm going to return the favour!!" Phil shouted threateningly as he conjured a long staff out of light. Even with what he was feeling, Phil didn't want to kill Will. There has to be a way to get through to this bastard Phil thought as he started a sprint towards Will, swinging his weapon precisely and with a firm grip.

After Phil finished Cora's and his own Spectacular Performance, He started to devised another one. Cora said I could have a prism whenever I wanted he thought to himself, kind of feeling like a spoilt child. He ran over to her after she had finished her stunning sword fight with Yhatzee. "Cora, do you think that you could create a giant sphere made out of smaller prisms? Oh, if you could give them enough room for the light to segment properly, I think I could make something absolutely breath taking". He ran to the centre stage, his eyes beaming with ambition as the shape of a sphere took place, suspended centre stage about a metre above the ground. Phil took a stance and, as if erupting from the ground, Light shot up into the bottom prism and, slowly, the entire sphere was turned into a contained ball of light, from one corner it was red and it slowly changed colour until it ended with purple. Phil noticed that the crowd was completely awe-struck but then Phil turned his attention to above the sphere. He saw that Toran had quickly infiltrated the sphere from the top. What is he pl- Phil was thinking until the sphere exploded from the inside. The audience gasped, but it wasn't from the explosion. As Phil looked up, he saw a sphere of water vapour and steam, still illuminated by the rainbow coloured light. But in the steam was the giant silhouette of a dragon, Toran. After a few seconds of awkward anticipation, the crowd erupted into a cheer. Soon, the cloud disappeared, yet Toran wasn't anywhere to be seen. He looked around for him, until he felt the weight of something fairly light (Heh Heh) land on his back. "Phil, there is something important I need to tell you" he said, sounding serious. "Can't it wait, Toran" Phil said, feeling kind of angry at Toran for stealing the spotlight and ruining his performance (even though it was still a success). "Phil, it's Will, Something is wrong... VERY wrong" He said, this time in a more worried tone. "what's up with him?" Phil said. "He-" Toran was cut off by Phil who quickly looked around the tent, they wanted more. "I'm sorry Toran, this'll have to wait" Phil said as he started thinking up new ideas for performances, he was kind of addicted now. He ran towards the edge of the tent, away from the eyes of the crowd. He started to cycle through the new ideas for the next stage of his part of this performance. Toran flew off with haste to spy on Will some more.

Hey guys, sorry for not posting. I kinda lost track of time due to dying light. (BTW any zombie/ RPG lover will absolutely enjoy that Game) Anyway, @Estylwen I was thinking that Cora could create multiple Prisms of ice around the tent so that Phil could guide some light through and create a sort of Rainbow dot to dot!! I'll post now as I think it's owed but if anyone has an issue or suggestion, I can easily edit it. Edit: Okay... I was just about to finish my post and my cursor clicked outside the box, just as I pressed back space... ... So! my post will be a little less glamorous after that moral and mood crushing event. It will also be slightly briefer. Edit 2: @GingerBoi123 Check your PMs

Phil saw the Fortune teller eyeing up his last two pieces of copper, A tip that she honestly deserved. Thinking this, Phil gave her the last of his copper and said "thanks for the help, Madame la Faire, and the Reading". He then waved her off and approached Cora. “I’m glad you’re here. We’ve been invited to be part of the Circus’ Finale, if you want in we need to be at the Dressing Room. Have to find the right outfit for you first. But we gotta hurry, m’kay?” She said gesturing him to follow. He replied with "Okay, after you" and then followed Cora, Yhatzee and another, presumably from the circus. After they arrived and was escorted behind the main tent, Yhatzee explained "Don't worry about a thing. The circus is it's own country in a way so it's not like there will be any guards. Not ones on duty anyway. All we need to do is put on a show. We should manage that. I mean what with our... you know. Just..." He took a minute to find his words. "Don't hold back. This circus is all about over the top so if you hold back people will notice. It will be out of place. Nothing is unbelievable here. Not even us." So, Phil thought, I shouldn't hold back. Heh. His mind started to fill with ambition and ideas, ranging from cool to majestic to breath taking... Phil was brought back to reality quite quickly as Yhatzee said "We need costumes and stuff. Come on. The changing rooms aren't far." Phil then followed his group, along with most the performers, into a tent which held Clothes and props. Phil looked around in a large chest of clothes for anything more... showy. After he rummaged around for a few seconds, he found some very fitting clothes. Phil found himself a mask which was some sort of bizarre half mask that covered the left part of his face and represented the sun. He then found some old, Black Jeans and a Grey shirt (which was probably white at sometime). Lastly, Phil found a nice white Cape that just screamed "Bizarre" and "Over-the-Top". Phil quickly changed and looked into the mirror... Yup, Phil thought, I look like a freak... Although... Phil looked at the Shirt and Jeans he had collected. After he could ditch the mask and the Cape, Phil decided he would stick with these clothes for a while after the "Finale". Phil left the Costume tent and was quickly pushed inside the main performance tent, only to see hundreds of people. The amount of people who was watching them was... pressuring as well as overwhelmingly unnerving. Phil did his best to hide these feeling of stage fright, just for the fact that any panicked actions could compromise them if they where seen as suspicious. With no room for mistakes, Phil resounded a plan within his mind, then put on a brave and confident smile (which was completely fake in every sense of the word). The Ringmaster then announced them. He said, almost boasting, "Ladies and Gentlemen our final act will be so spectacular and astounding that it will leave all of you speechless. I dare say there will not even be applause after this such is the magnitude of it's astounding beauty and innovation. These people that you see before have been rumoured to be the embodiment of both the beauty and destructiveness of nature itself. Other rumours say that they are merely experiments gone wrong. Or escaped. Nobody knows from where they hailed from but we do know this: What you see here may change everything that you believe. Introducing for the first time: The Elementals!" Phil took a deep breath, then started a paced sprint around the edge of the tent. Phil started off his own contribution to the performance by creating steps for him to climb made of pure light. Then, as he reached around a metre off the ground, he decomposed the steps into small particles of glimmering light and started to make a platform. The platform was always about an inch in front of where Phil ran and dissipated around a metre behind him, creating more small particles of light that faded after a few seconds. Using the last of the available energy, Phil started to give off a faint glow himself. He started to hope that this was enough for now, at least for a minute. As he continued to run, he started to plan the next part of his performance.

Phil was taken completely by surprise from a thin old lady who proclaimed herself as "Madame La Faire". That feeling of discomfort as she uninvitingly touched his hand was quickly replaced by amazement as the lady quickly named Phil, identified his dislike for crowds... and then reminded him of his parent's fate. Phil remembered his younger years being split between mourning them, trying to get money for food and starving because he couldn't get enough money. He couldn't remember much about his parents, except that his mother had silky and amazing silvery hair that used to always create it's own Presence... Even as it was soaked crimson... Phil pulled himself back out of his anti-social state and continued to listen to Madame la Faire, who seemed more focused on his palm than anything else. “There’s… such tragedy. A broken heart. Years of silence and uncertainty. Yet… a hope. A strange, fuzzy feeling of hope. A chance to do something great, or vile. The path ahead is dark...” She muttered as her Brow Furrowed. After an awkward pause, She met Phil's gaze and smiled, almost like a small girl who just got away with something and said, almost mockingly, "That'll be 5 copper pieces, Please." Phil sighed lightly as he started turning out his pockets. Firstly, he turned out a right pocket which had only an old chocolate rapper. Phil then went to turn out the left pocket but, as his half eaten Military ration nearly fell out his pocket, he haphazardly stuffed the contents of his pocket back into his pocket. After checking his back pocket, he found 7 copper pieces. He then handed Madame la Faire the requested 5 copper pieces and put the last 2 into his right pocket. "For a job well done, Madame la Faire." He then took a moment to think about what he was doing before getting side tracked. "Umm... by the way Madame la Faire, have you seen either a pissed off man wearing a fedora, or maybe some of the other... new circus members strolling around here?" he said in a desperate attempt to be reunited with his group.

As the fighting continued, Toran emerged on Phil's shoulder. Attempting to get Phil's attention, He said "Phil, is something on your mind?". Phil paused before answering, looking around the room for eavesdroppers he whispered back "The thought of going to Atlanta hasn't exactly left my mind". Toran leaned in closer and said into Phil's ear "Then why don't you tell the group?". Phil turned his head to look Toran in the eye, Then continued to whisper "because I don't know if I can... recite those memories,, not with it happening so recently". Toran looked at him questioningly "then what are you going to do? I saw you harm your self earlier, keeping it a secret isn't going to keep you sane either". Phil shrugged, whispering "I'll tough it out, fake a smile and say nothing more... at least until I'm ready." Toran gave a serious look, then said sharply "I don't lik-"
"Stop..." Phil said, with a look of frustration on his face, "we're done talking about it". With a huff, Toran flew out of the cave, past the already intense fighting. Phil put on a blank expression and continued to watch the fight.
