Kaelin stared into the forest, watching the light be swallowed up the deeper the forest became. The one reassurance she had was her Kelpie blood, making nature understandable. She would know if something was coming for them, the trees and their vast roots would communicate with her. Turning to Jax, she nodded her head and then took a step into the forest, her steps picking up speed as she went until she was walking with an easy gait.

"It won't be so bad, at least the city won't be surrounding us anymore. All that noise and all those manmade structures really choke up the Earth and her beauty." Kaelin eyed the other groups, saw a few branch off of the trail. Hopefully, Kaelin thought dryly, they will be dead or scared enough to quit by the morning.

Kaelin elbowed Jax once the other 'adventurers' were out of hearing range, and began whispering, "Let's follow a game trail. It may be slightly overgrown but if the animals have chosen it enough to leave a path, then it could be safe. Especially from bandits that wait further up the main path."

Hope you don't mind if I take slight control. Feel free to tell me to change it if you don't want me doing so.

And as always, feel free to ask me to make any changes!

@Vox

Er, it is a little weird for me. I guess if you could make sure not to do it too often, it'd be better for me.

Sounds good. Sorry if mine sounds kind of lame. I didn't actually realize I had no idea what I wanted mine to look like till I got to the part they needed to be described t.t

@malmshodes

I'm thinking mine is all black, but pretty similar in design to Jim's, that way they can identify that they are obviously connected somehow. Maybe though the symbols are different, to go with the different powers. Anyway I'm fighting sleep, so speak with you on the morrow.

There wasn't time for a shower if Rae wanted to grab breakfast and be at campus on time, so she quickly put on some clothes that didn't smell bad and weren't too wrinkly, then went to run a brush through the tangled nest that was her hair. Her phone was playing the news as she got ready, but Rae's attention was quickly caught by something else. Long lines swirled and crossed into a design down the length of her dominate arm, and strange symbols decorated the spaces between. Lifting her left arm up for closer inspection Rae whispered, "the hell?" before grabbing a sponge to erase the offending marks. However, it was a fruitless endeavor, the tattoo was not going away.

"No no no no no," Rae chanted, then realized she had no time for this. Brushing teeth quickly, then darting to dress in long sleeves to hide the new...thing.... Rae was out the door, all the while confused and angry at whatever had been done to her arm. Must have been my roommate, she thought to herself.

Rae got into her teal Bug, taking a moment to smile as she buckled, loving the fact her father had surprised her with this on her twentieth. Finally being able to ditch her old truck she inherited from her dad was a great memory. Soon Rae was on her way to stop into a nearby bakery to grab a bagel before class.

Upon arrival, Rae immediately looked at the playing TV in the bakery, noticing the news was on. She walked to the counter but stopped to stare at the unbelievable headlines. "Strange tears in the sky?" Rae murmured aloud.

@malmshodes wasn't sure, that's why I hadn't added it in to mine. But I also figure once Rae see's her reflection, she will realize there is something amiss haha

So are our tattoos different? And do we now have them?

It felt as if the moment Rae's head hit the pillow, she was opening her eyes to a strange landscape. Or rather, the absence of any landscape at all. Rae was floating in nothingness, where usually her dreams had her in very vivid places. Rae also felt pretty lucid in this dream, unlike any before that. The absolute absence of everything seemed....real. As she looked around, trying to find a point of something, a blinding light appeared. Shielding her eyes, Rae squinted as the light dimmed a tad. What was left reminded her of a dying star, about to explode into a nebula of stardust, and unstable as hell.

"Hello Rae," a voice surrounded her in the nothingness, "I know what I'm about to say will be difficult to understand, but something is occurring, something dark and dangerous. I will need your help, yours and one other, in this matter." The star, or whatever it was, pulsed as the voice spoke, giving Rae the impression it was this source of light that was communicating with her. Talk about weird dreams. "You must be brave, you must face things with no mercy. But be aware they are not human, not creatures worth sparing. Do not feel bad for the things I am asking you to do. I will not leave you to face them alone. Like I said, someone else will be with you, and both of you will have....Angels...helping you." A pulse of light flared out and seemed to pass through Rae, and suddenly everything began to dim.
Rae felt the sensation of falling, everything went black as she screamed, and the voice spoke one last time, "I must go, be safe, and trust in your partner."

With a jolt Rae sat up in bead, panting. Pushing her wayward hair from her eyes, Rae glanced at the clock and sighed. She had an hour to get ready and get to class, less time than she would have liked. "Weird dream....." Rae muttered as she slipped her feet into house slippers and headed to the bathroom to begin her morning ritual.

Ooooh! I'm off to write my response! I'm assuming the same 'being' was in my dream as well?

Crossing the Multiverse

Nope, I think that's it! I will follow your lead, so to speak!

Crossing the Multiverse

Hmmm, your way sounds cooler.
