Familiar wars

Reaper incounter

"Close your eyes, now picture the place you wanted to be, slowly let your energy reach out to that place, now simply be there,". I open my eyes and look around to the great forest, I know I'm not realy there it's just a projection, Claire was teaching me a few tricks anyone can do. I wander around, checking on my friends, and making sure no coyote tryed to take our cave, but from what I can tell everything is all good, " now ground yourself back to your body, let it all rush back and open your eyes." We were in the arena, and Claire although having attributes of great strength, has taught me a lot on sound mind, I can even get visions of when somone is in trouble, as for Niya, we've played stealthy, she's taught me stealth and even how to phase trough things, I only have alittle difficulty, and besides I'm sure she'll return the stolen diamonds after training is over, well that or whatever she usually does with her shiner collection. The doors to the arena open and three little animals pile in, apparently it took two days for spirit to learn how to transform, but he makes the most adorable little dog, followed by a little black cat and a finnec.

" good your familiar is back just in time, now on to the second part of training, a fusion weapon, your familiar has to become part of you and then part of your weapon," just as we were getting ready to learn it, a strange noise starts coming from the crystals in the wall by the door, Claire rushes over and watches then a moment, then grabbing her swords and alerting Niya, she tosses me my staff and practically knocks me in the head with it, " no time, the reapers are here!" Followed by her and near dashing to a stone slab on the ground. Claire practically dragging me tosses me to the stone slab and places her hand on it, it lit up with a glow and everything around us seemed to slowly vanish, an in it's place blue flames and dust appeared to spiral around us," hold on," I blink and was slammed into the grass, hoping up quick I see we were in the park bit too far from Claire's house, and there were familiars there, but somone or rather somthing was tormenting them.

They weren't that big, some had forms like rabbits and others seemed like squirrels, and whoever this thing was had scared them, chased them into a strange little cage and was poking at the with a stick, before slowly reaching in and grabbing one, his energy twisted and bit by bit absorbed the little thing, it was horrible, I couldn't just stand there and let him do that, my temper got the best of me, but I didn't charge him, not till Claire gave the signal. He was obviously not human, but he also wasn't a wielder. He was thin almost to the point were bone was visable, and hit eyes were dark and sunken, he was dressed in grey with a black trenchcoat he carried a scythe with a crooked blade.
Claire use a flash ball to blind him, we charged at him and I had jumped to bring my staff down on him, but all I did was hit grass, he had vanished, but not like Niya, he had simple vanished, Claire got her guard up and Niya had her daggers at the ready, " come out and fight soulless,". " my my, someone is fired up today, I thought y'all would've missed me," his voice seemed to bounce off every tree, but from how they talk I guess he has faced them before. There was a high pitch noise coming fast, I do t think the others even herd it but it was close to them, I speared my staff into the ground beside Claire just in time to hear his scythe get stuck in it. Niya moved to attack but somthing stopped her, she suddenly drawed up and started to whine in pain, she struggled but on what.

" need some help darling," a light and gentle voice said as a shadow emerged from the trees. She took form and she was both dark but innocent looking, she was little with light pale skin, almost like a porcelain doll, and she had bright piercing blue eyes that seemed icy, her clothes were black and purple, it reminded me of a story when I was little about the twisted soul. Her gloves radiated with a black aura, she was a wielder like us, well more specifically like Niya. " struggle all you want my pretty little kitty, but my stitching webs are stronger then they look," she toyed with Niya, plucking a string and it tightening around Niya, I reached for my staff, " I wouldn't do that, one wronge move and she gets to see what being diced feels like. Claire wasn't phased, she drew her sword and yelled to Niya, in one swift move Niya faded into shadows and passed through the strings as Claire began fighting soulless, I grabbed my staff and charged the girl full blast, I managed to get a good hit to her stomach and she coughed losing all her breath. She drawed her blades, they were dark red and shaped like giant scissors that ha been taken apart, and she moved with them as though they didn't weigh a thing. She fights very fast and underhanded, she would fade in and out as we battled, but her style of attack was similar to Niya, and I wasn't about to be shown up by it again.

Niya pulled some quick strikes to her back, her arm, and a place in her leg, the girl locked up and fell to the ground, she was about to trap her in a shade sphere, but w spider the size of a car smashed through the tree line, it used a line of web to reel her in and then it just vanished, followed by soulless as they passed through a threshold.
