Fairytale Defenders: Book One

End of an Overblot: Return to Normal Inuy!

 There was a sense of doom while the group was getting their wounds healed. Solar whimpers as Snow ties up medical tape on an arm wound. "I know it hurts." Snow stated, gently patting his head. "But it doesn't look like you don't have any healing abilities. ...Unless I'm wrong."

Solar shakes his head. His eyes glazed over as his ears twitched. "Sorry. I'm just stressed about all of this. That look in his eyes... Something seemed off about it." This caused Snow to tilt his head. He started to reach out before the sound of dragon roar made him jump.

Dust and dirt flew when Rose slammed into the ground. Anger shined in her amber dragon eyes. It caused shivers to run down everyone's spines as she stomps toward them. "What the hell happened?! I felt Inuys good magic had faded!!" Rose yelled. Strong winds start to push them back. Lucien and Mana whimper when their backs hit several nearby trees. "You idiots had one job!! How can you mess up so badly?!"

Some of the ground began to pick up as Solar sighs softly. "All of them have the same anger issues..." He takes a step forward, crossing his arms. "Are you quite done yet, young lady? Using your own wind magic against us. How childish of you." Everyone started at Solar in shock. Mana slowly blinks, noticing that Solar seemed barely affected by the wing. "How.."

Solar smirked, glancing over his shoulder. "Just used the elements thanks to Star." He faced back toward the stunned Rose. "Drop them and let's talk. I know that you're gonna get tired at some point. Might as well do it now before we lose your brother." The mention of her brother made Rose growled.

The winds suddenly died down with a snap of her fingers. Mana gulps, "H-How did you do-o that, Solar?" There was a hum from Solar. He replied. "Calm voice and sounding firm. It's the only way that I know to calm her down long enough." Rose sighs softly as she hangs her head low. "Besides, most of them just need someone to ground them."

There was another sigh from Rose. "Alright. I'm calmer. ...Now, does anyone have a plan? I don't want my brother back no matter what."

Everyone became quiet. Her right eye twitched at the silence. Snow stated. "We don't have one yet... But we can come up with one. Right guys?" He looks at everyone with a begging look. A quick nod from Flare made Rose inhaled then exhale deeply. "Okay... What do we need to do? I mean besides getting you guys some healing potions."

Another silence fell on the group. Rose face palms while several stomachs growl. Flare shakes his head. "You're lucky I went ahead and prepped for lunch. The beef stew will take about an hour if we leave..." He barely finished his sentence when all of them were suddenly transported into the kitchen. Lucien opened then closed his mouth. "How..." He questioned.

A dark red blush formed on Solars' face. "I lose control of my magic when food is mentioned. ...Especially after a long day..."

A quick snicker from Flare. He swiftly offered one of the many cooking knives. Solar grasps the handle then nods. The two quickly got to work while Snow sighs. His legs gave out on him causing Mana and Lucien to panic. "Sorry... I'm fine. Don't worry. Just need to rest a bit." Snow stated. The trumbling legs made Manas' thoughts race.

'I know that all of them are taking this hard but shouldn't it be Rose taking the hardest?' Mana questioned. She started to open her mouth then closed. Snow blinked, noticing that Mana offered a single hand. He chuckles. 'I suppose it doesn't matter at this point. ..though I still wonder about what's going on with Snow and Rose.'

There was a hum from Lucien before snapping his fingers. "Oh! You need something to drink!" Snow and Mana blinked when he disappeared then reappeared with a glass of water. "You fell cause you were dehydrated right? Maybe you need to drink something." Snow smiled softly, taking the glass. "Thank you. That's really sweet of you." He slowly drinks it. Mana raises an eyebrow before kneeling down.
