Astral nodded, thinking that was probably a good idea. “Then I shall accompany you.” He stated as he moved out of the alley out onto the street, looking down at the man. He still seemed dazed, not likely to present any danger in his current state, but it was uncertain how long it would take him to regain his senses. He was unsure if he would be able to down the assailant a second time, seeing as he was unsure as to how he’d done it the first time, if he had in fact done anything at all. He was still unsure. It was best they moved.

Hovering over the earth and floating instead of walking like she did. He followed the girl closely as she walked home, looking around and taking in this new world. A car turned down the street and began heading down the street, right towards Astral, who was still preoccupied looking around at the world. He turned his attention to the vehicle at the very last moment and moved out of the way casually, seeming unbothered by the near-death experience. The car not breaking or trying to avoid colliding with him at all, and once it had passed it just continued on its way as if nothing had ever happened. “Is it far to your home?” He asked eventually after a few minutes.

Astral looked at the girl and tilted his head slightly. "Really? Then I am glad to have helped you." His voice contained no hint of sarcasm, and it was clearly something foreign to the being. He shook his head slowly when asked if he knew how he got there. "I could not say for certain..." He trailed off as her hand moved to the crystal around her neck and Astral tilted his head curiously, moving up close to her and reaching out hesitantly. The crystal began glowing again in response to his touch. "This... however seems strangely familiar..." He spoke softly, eventually withdrawing his hand.

"I feel a strange connection to that amulet you wear around your neck. Where did you get it?" As he moved away from her the crystal's light began to dim until it returned to its dormant state. Astral noted the change and decided that he would stick close to this girl. She, and the crystal she wore around her neck were the only things he had right now. If he were to stand any chance of discovering anything else about himself or his purpose it was with them. He would keep them close. Behind him, the man on the ground groaned in pain and began moving, albeit very slowly. Astral turned his attention back to him, but didn't seem too concerned.

He slowly helped the uneasy girl to her feet, his face showing little, if any emotion at all before he turned his attention back to the man on the ground not too far away. He stood there for a few moments in silence, his eyes locked on the man before he eventually spoke without looking at her. His voice was soft, smooth and, like everything else about him, had this other-worldly feel to it. “Astral.” He said eventually, moving into a relaxed posture, crossing his arms over his chest. “My name is Astral… if I recall.” He seemed uncertain of this, though his voice didn’t waver.

“However I am afraid that is all I can offer in answer to your question.” He eventually looked away from the boy reluctantly, as if he kept expecting him to get back up miraculously and returned his attention back to the small girl before him. However he seemed unsure as to what he was supposed to do now. In truth he wasn’t. “Not only do I not recall who I am… but I do not recall much of anything. Other that I arrived here with a great purpose, which now escapes me.”

He looked at her curiously, before slowly withdrawing his hand and turning his attention back to David impassively, there was no sign of insult on his face, no real emotion at all actually. He stood there for a few moments in silence, his eyes locked on the boy before he eventually spoke without looking at her. His voice was soft, smooth and, like everything else about him, had this other-worldly feel to it. “Astral.” He said eventually, moving into a relaxed posture, crossing his arms over his chest. “My name is Astral… if I recall.” He seemed uncertain of this, though his voice didn’t waver.

“However I am unable to answer any other of your questions, as I am uncertain of the answers myself.” He eventually looked away from the boy reluctantly, as if he kept expecting him to get back up miraculously and returned his attention back to the small girl before him. However he seemed unsure as to what he was supposed to do now. In truth he wasn’t. “Not only do I not recall who I am… but I do not recall much of anything. Other that I arrived here with a great purpose, which now escapes me.”

So... is this still going through? :(

The air night was cool but still, strangely still and suddenly all noise seemed to disappear, the cars driving past seemed to slow to an unearthly stop, no noise, the lights seemed to dim and then street lights began to flicker. Suddenly the stillness of the night erupted into forceful wind, crashing around the pair violently, tearing at clothes. The man looked around, though it would be hard to see much, impossible after the next few seconds. The trees on the street side shook fiercely and suddenly a branch came loose, falling onto the power lines. Instant darkness of lost power was followed by a few sparks from the severed cable before it came to rest of the other side of the street.

The man’s grip on the girl loosened, not enough for her to escape though. The next thing he knew a bright, almost burning light began emitting from beneath her clothes clothes, near her chest. “What the-” suddenly the girl felt hot to the touch, burning hot and he withdrew from her with a pained scream. But it wasn’t over yet, the light grew brighter and brighter, to the point where there was nothing else to see, it began floating, all on its own and the next thing he knew he was flying backwards, as if someone with super strength had pushed him he flew half way across the street before landing with an ‘oof’, unconscious.

A few seconds later the wind died, returning to the strangely still and now very quiet night. With the light of the crystal extinguished after the blast and the power out on the street it was dark once more, the stars and new moon doing very little to provide light to see by. After a few seconds of silence more light entered the world, beside her a soft glowing surrounded an unearthly figure, whom seemed to be floating in mid air.

The figure was human in shape, but very slender, their body a bizarre white-ish blue, their hair seeming to defy gravity along with the rest of their body as it curled up over their head. The figure seemed tense for a moment, their eyes locked onto where the assailant lie, one golden, the other white. After a few seconds they seemed to decide that he was down for the count, and wasn’t getting back up and they relaxed, turning towards where Eve sat on the ground. “Rise.” He said, for the voice confirmed that it was a male. After a few seconds, he spoke again as he extended out a hand to her. “Rise up. You are safe now.”

One other question, if it's not too personal, what timezone are you on? It makes it easier to kind to guess when you'll be on if you don't mind me asking? Also posted and CS is on first post :)
