Flame's Hole



This is it.

RP is welcome- Just leave me a post and I'll answer when I'm around.

Important RP Log:

It Starts: the first time Flame's vauge memories resurface.

[This started off sort of silly and short because at the time I didn't know this would happen.;;]

Kismet: *clings to Flame too* ^w^ Flame! Zoe is a good root hunter too!
Flame: *clung to* *sweatdrops* Of course she is- got my genes doesn't she?
Kismet: *nods* Especially when they're hard to find in the cold! Err, the roots, not your genes!
Flame: *huff* Watch out, or my family may take over your little herb buisness. *chuckle* ....*sigh*
Kismet: Well... At the rate Zoe and Drake are getting along, we'll be family soon!
Flame: ...Whoa- what? They're...together? *wasn't informed* Oh no...this isn't good...Zoe doesn't know about- *covers face with hand*
Kismet: *blinks* Yup...what doesn't she know?
Flame: *looks embarassed* About...you know... *waves hands* ...the..uh...egg maker stuff....
Kismet: Oh, that... *he blinked* Well, I'm not sure how much Drake knows either... I guess they'll find out? *laughs*
Flame: Hopefully without too many errors... ;;

...Kismet? I need to ask you something, alright?
Kismet: What's that? *he whipped his tail around* ^^
Flame: Do you think I'm handsome? *serious face*
Kismet: *blink blink* Err...sure, you are Flame! You're a very pretty red!
Flame: Pretty?? That's for girls, Kis... *droop* ...*flops down, tail curling around his feet* I must be losing my charm... You probably wouldn't call Pheobus "pretty"...
Kismet: "Well...I dunno..." Kismet fidgeted. The words 'drop dead gorgeous, where were you a couple years back,' came to mind concerning Phoebus. "Okay, you're very handsome." Kismet smiled and nodded. "But I thought you already knew that! What's up?"
Flame: *picks at the ground* ....I don't know... nevermind...You wouldn't understand...
Kismet: "Awww, c'mon, tell me..." Kismet put his hands on his knees and swished his tail. "How will you know unless you tell me?"
Flame: *grits his teeth* *glares at Kismet* You wouldn't! I mean- how could you? Everybody loves you... and the group needs you... its not fair! ....so just- Just leave me alone...
Kismet: "That isn't true. Kura could easily do my job. I'm not strong, I can't hunt like you or Reet. I'm not big or very attractive by most standards. I'm extremely average. That I have a mate at all still amazes me." He smirked a little. "I've seen my own mate look at Phoebus, it's hard not to notice him. But you're very attractive too, Flame, and very strong too. I can't say I know how to prove that to you." Then after a moment's hesitation, he hovered just off the ground and gave Flame a good deep kiss.
Xanth: She had seen Flame and Kismet and was coming down to give Flame a hug when she paused in mid air hearing what he said. She then flew down near them, "That's not true Flame!" she then knealt down next to him, "I love you, doesn't that count?"
Flame: *was gearing up to tell him that it frustrated him even more that Kismet seemed to be so average yet he commanded the respect and love of everyone he knew- but that was all forgotten when the blue pressed their lips together...*

..........!


*it could easily be said that Flame's eyes were the size of coconuts...*
Xanth: She was cut off and caught by surprise and off guard by what she saw after that. Her bestfriend Kismet was kissing her mate? She shook her head and did the only thing she could think of to do and took off into the sky flying away from the scene. She was flying as fast as she could tears stinging her eyes.
Kismet: Kismet drew back in time to see Xanth flying off in the corner of his eye. He turned around. Oh DAMN! Couldn't he do anything right? He'd managed to hurt Xanth again...
Flame: *frozen in place, staring dumbly as Kismet releases him...* *behind the blue he catches the backside of Xanth as she flies quickly away*

.....X-xanth... *it hit like a ton of bricks* You! *points at Kismet, backing up a step* You kissed me! And she saw! How am I supposed to explain that?!

*growl* You did it on purpose.... *advances, tail lashing*
Kismet: "I didn't do it on purpose...well, I did, but not to hurt her or you!" Kismet backed down, his ears flatted. He was shaking a little. If Flame were to attack him... "I'm sorry, I was just trying to cheer you up!"

He put out a hand towards where Xanth had gone. "I'll explain to Xanth if you want!" He certainly owed her an apology too.
Xanth: She had found a quiet spot in the forest, landing in one of the branches of a tall tree. She was holding onto her knees as she cried her eyes out. She was hurting inside and she didn't like it. How she wished her uncle was here, since he was the only relitive she knew. She hadn't even been able to find her dad.
Flame: *shakes his head, trying to keep back angry tears* You can't make Xanth leave me... You're not the best...

*confused and hurt, all he could do was charge forward- not composed enough to properly attack Kismet- nor even sure if that was really what he wanted to do.*
Kismet: Kismet was ready to move quickly. The way Flame was charging blindly, he could easily evade him... But he didn't move. No, he deserved this. Worse than this...and not just for what he had done to Flame and Xanth.
Flame: *his fist caught the motionless blue across the jaw, Flame's entire weight behind the follow through. Flame could feel something pop under his knuckles as the hit connected...*
Kismet: The pain seemed to flash white across his whole face, although he couldn't even tell yet where it was centered. He just knew that Flame had gotten him in the face. Kismet fell back into the grass with a soft cry.
Strawberry: Ri was out on the edges of the forest, finding the last of the berries before winter when a flash of green zoomed overhead. The blur looked a lot like Xanth, and she was moving fast. There was a crash from the direction Xanth had come from, making Ri jump and spill her basket of berries in the sand. Then she heard Kismet, and bolted towards the noise.
Xanth: Xanth had heard the crack too and saw Ri heading towards the direction she had just came. She leaped out of the tree and slowly followed behind Ri. She only followed abit aways but she was curious to what had happened now even though it hurt to go back there.
Flame: *the red skidded to a halt, as Kismet fell to the ground before him. His hands were still clenched into fists, raised and shaking... To his surprise, and frustration, hitting him hadn't made him feel any better... Infact, it seemed to break a small dam inside...

Flame squeezed his blue eyes shut and shouted:*

I won't let you hurt me! Or Xanth or my children! I'm strong! I...won't let you...kill...

*Someone's words were ringing through his head- someone he loved dearly and didn't want to leave... They were telling him to be strong...and to run...*
Kismet: Kismet shook, tears streaming. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." But there was nothing he could ever say to make it better... If Flame decided to kill him, it would be justice and nothing more. He closed his eyes, trembling, trying to contain the howl of anguish that was burning inside.
Strawberry: Dashing into the clearing, Ri found Kismet on the ground and Flame standing over him - and promptly stalked over and shoved Flame to one side with her shoulder (XD Flame + hurt Kismet = mad Ri) Kneeling down next to Kismet, she quickly checked him over for any injuries, her claws lightly traveling over the spot on his face where Flame had smacked him.
Xanth: Xanth followed Ri into the clearing seeing the same scene Ri did. She didn't know what had happened she was so confused about everything including the kiss she saw. She walked closer to the scene not saying anything, her green face streaked with her tears as she looked from Flame, to Ri and then to Kismet.
Kismet: Kismet smelled berries and tried to shake his head. "No, Ri, no..." He didn't want her to see him like this...he didn't want her to see...
Strawberry: "Oh, Kismet.. what happened here?!" Continuing checking him over she found that although the spot on his face was quite red, there didn't seem to be any other injuries. She threw a glare over her shoulder at Flame, getting back to her feet and stalking over to him. "What'd you hit him for?!"
Flame: *Was too befuddled by the entire situation to react, allowing Ri to shove him aside without putting up a fight... He sank to the grass on knees, staring blankly at the waving green blades... It was too much- there were too many emotions at once...

And then there was Xanth following behind Ri... Ignoring the red female's question, Flame got up and ran to his mate, grabbing her in a desperate crushing hug- as if she'd disapear if his grip wasn't tight enough.*

Xanth...

*He coughed, burying his face in her hair.*
Kismet: "S-Stop, Ri, he didn't do anything wrong." Kismet looked up. His jaw hurt badly, but that didn't matter. "I'm okay, you can go back to the lair." She didn't need to see...
Xanth: Xanth had never been hugged so tightly before by Flame once he did that she knew he loved her. She just wrapped her arms around him and hugged him as tight as she could without hurting him, but then Ri came over and she looked angry. She looked down at Kismet and then to Flame, she didn't want Ri to hurt like she did and she didn't want to lose her bestfriend either or her Flame. She whispered to Flame, "You shouldn't have hit him Flame......I didn't want Ri to hurt too........" she said it so low that only Flame could hear her.
Strawberry: Frowning, she watched Flame cling to Xanth before turning back to her mate. "I will not go back to the lair, you stubborn dragon. You're hurt."
Flame: *lowers his head, leaning against Xanth* I was...protecting you... *He whispers, his words alternatly making sense and not making sense to himself...*
Kismet: "Please Ri, no..." Kismet wondered why Flame hadn't killed him. He deserved death. He didn't deserve Ri... He was a cold blooded murderer. Closing his eyes, he curled tightly into a shaking ball.
Strawberry: "Kismet?! What's wrong with you?" She dropped to her knees beside him again, trying to uncurl him.
Kismet: "I don't deserve you." Kismet whispered.
Strawberry:"What's that supposed to mean?" Giving up on rolling him out of the ball, she sat back, a flash of hurt across her face.
Kismet:"I don't deserve to be happy. And I never wanted to hurt anyone, especially you, Ri. If I didn't have you, I would have already ended it. If I don't, sooner or later Flame or one of the others will. Did you see him? He knows... The seal on Reet broke...how long until all of them break?" He shuddered.

((I really should have come up with a little campfire thing a long time ago.

Poor Arcturus. His bed's been tipped over. XD))

Augusta poked her head into this recently-unexplored part of the lair network. It smelled new, and so many lovely rooms had popped up around the place lately. Perhaps there were more decor tips here that she could force upon Sunday and her cramped, unimpressive quarters.

The light from a single candle that sputtered on the floor barely reached the end of the wall, but the kweet had a distinct feeling that this was it.

Perhaps...perhaps it wasn't finished. There was a kweet bed there, certainly that kweet's dragon wouldn't allow his fine pet to live in such squalor.

Comforted by her own indisputable logic, Augusta batted the dust off her wings, and headed off to scrounge some food.

*Recently the small candle in the middle of the lair has been removed and replaced with a pile of sticks. The campfire manages to light up a bit more of the room than its previous light source.

Flame has been by and carefully deposited two of the roots he is gathering for Kismet on the floor.*
