Keera sighed, "it's hard having titties!" "no it's not that, we'll it's not like I'm particularly thrilled about some psychotic Irate wanting me for something. It's just that," Keera paused and shook her head. "This isn't right, those were normal people. Normal Veluts and even normal Nictucs, and now they are infected by the Irates. So what? We need to kill them because they were enslaved? Even Rickta, I can't kill her, even if she is a nut, she used to be normal at some point as well..."

Rem sighed. "Well I'm not happy about it either, but I mean....if we do nothing, more people will suffer a fate we can't save them from. What else can we really do?"

"I can't do it," said Keera, "my parents found a way to reverse the Irate infection. There has to be a way to deal with this."
"Keera the crystal expended most of its energy when we destroyed the Irate orb. It might recover itself, it might not, but for the mean time it has nothing left to give," said Ponic.
Keera shook her head. "I can't kill her, I can't kill anyone, even an Irate. There's something in them, I..." Keera paused, "I don't know, I can feel it, ever since we used the crystal on the focal point...I just feel like there might be another way. I just don't know what. Rem what do you think?

Rem looked troubled. He wasn't entirely sure what they were dealing with, with this crystal. But If Rem had the chance to make things better, he would at least try. "If you feel that there might be a way to still save them, then I feel we owe it to them to at least try. I'm not sure what we could do with the crystal, I don't know much about it, but if you have an idea I'm willing to roll with it." Rem paused. "But if it turns out there isn't anything to be done, we need to stop them before more people of the shadow realm lose their lives, and the unsaveable number count continues to grow. Plus if they escape the shadow realm, there isn't any telling what they could do outside this realm."

Keera did not look convinced. She was not comfortable with what was going on, and she was keeping something from them. She was keeping it from them not because she didn't trust Rem and Ponic, on the contrary she trusted them, along with the others in the group more than anyone in her life. She was keeping this from them because she didn't even know how to put it into words as she had no clue what was going on. Ever since Ponic, Skylos, and her had used the crystal on the focal point and she saw that vision of who she was and that she was actually adopted, she felt like something had woken up in her. She had no idea what it was, but it had been growing, and she couldn't pin down what it was or what it would do. All she knew was it was growing, like something in the back of her thoughts that she just couldn't ignore.
Ponic looked carefully at Keera. He knew her well enough to tell when she was troubled, and she clearly did not look convinced at this prospect. "If nothing else, we need to go and deal with this one way or another." Ponic nodded at Rem and pointed at the mountain range that surrounded the north of the Velut village where there was a dark cloud hanging over it. "That has got to be her. We can deal with her, even if she is energy, like you said Markov was able to turn shadow into an anti-energy, so I should be able to do the same. Still, can you battle her? Have anything that would be effective against her?" Ponic didn't want Rem to go into battle if he was going to risk falling...

Rem paused for a second. "Im not a hundred percent sure if I have anything that will be directly effective against her, but I have so many ways to attack, I feel like I have at least something up my sleeve that can be at least somewhat effective. Besides I can't worry about that to much. I wont let you two go alone."

Ponic smiled somewhat, of course Rem would stand with him, just as any of his friends would. They were more than friends now, they were family, or as close to family such an assortment could be. "Very well, we'll face this threat together as we've faced others." Ponic then looked at the mountain and pointed, "that's our destination. It would probably be best if we fly there, rather than teleport. If Rickta is as strong as she seems to be, she could infect the shadow we teleport through, which I don't want to run the risk of." Ponic concentrated very carefully and then nullified the gravity on him and Keera. Nothing personal to Rem, but Ponic knew Rem could fly himself, and nullifying gravity on one person was hard enough let alone three.
As the three of them flew over the Shadow Realm they would see the vastness of it all. The Velut village was tucked into the mountain side and to the west of it were the open plains where Skylos, Ponic and Keera had gone with its many mystical properties. The remainder of the Velut village was surrounded by mountains that spanned far out, with access to water coming from a river that ran down the mountainside and into the village. The location of the Velut village was indciative of a people that preferred to stay out of the spotlight, paying homage to the Velut life-style of somewhat isolationist to the othe races. The great twilight moon of the Shadow Realm was around them bathing the realm in its gentle white light that sprung off of the Shadow Realm fog creating a beautiful constrast of white, grey, and black that blended together yet stood out at the same time. From above, the three of them would be able to see the scars of the Velut village from its previous war with the Ulters but also the signs of the village picking up the pieces and trying to become something again.
Ponic, Keera, and Rem were moving towards one of the taller mountains in the large ridge, where the black cloud that was Rickta was hanging over its peak. As they approached the storm over the mountain seemed to begin to increase and a wind was meeting them that seemed natural, but was unmistakably increasing its speed and intensity making it harder to fly in a straight line.

As Rem took in the area as they flew across the skies, he began to feel the storm beginning to mess with their flight. It wasnt the easiest to fly at all, let alone with the storm messing things up. For now he tried to continue flying. "We may want to try and fly a little lower." Rem said to Ponic.

As if in answer the cloud pulsed and began firing blasts of infected Irate shadow at them. However, the blasts were absolutely massive about the width of a tractor-trailer truck and the length of a large highway lamp-post! Ponic's eyes widened and he brought them down below the blast, but it was so large that Ponic could feel the power shoot right by him like almost rattling his bones. "We need to keep going," called Keera, "ahead," she warned. Another blast shot toward them, and another below them trying to box them in, all just as massive as the 1st one.

(Because I'm getting sick of waiting for a post every week with no mentioning if anything will pop up, I'm ending this one abruptly with a summation of what would have happened. Keera, Ponic, and Rem would battle Rickta, lots of fighting, lots of explosions, lots of Irate infected shadow you get the idea. Rickta gets weakened but brings the battle close with her infection and summoning of Irates. Keera seeing death around her, and in an outburst not wanting to kill gets a new power that is NOT shadow based. It glows an odd yellow colour like a yellow tulip yellow. The power fuses around the Irates and cleanses them of their infection, but Keera did not use the crystal her parents made. Such a feat should be impossible, no Shadow Wielder should be able to do it. Still, Keera was able to cleanse Irates of their infection and by killing Rickta eliminating the Irate infection, at least for the time being in the foreseeable future. Ponic, Keera, and Rem would all have no idea what Keera's power was although it was clearly not Shadow Wielder in origin, and a casual glance at it would prove it doesn't seem to be of any power seen on Earth, although there is an odd familiarity to it.
Still Keera is unable to summon it at will it seems. Ponic and Keera would then part ways with Rem, with them staying behind to oversee that the Ulter's leave the Velut village [which they eventually do] before returning home and the Shadow Realm RP catching up with the Main).
