    Destiny Tower

    Brisa and Luz watched the meeting proceed, exchanging thoughts in careful, halting telepathic exchanges. Every now and again, Brisa winced. Luz scratched notes into their notepad. Their tails lashed in matching bursts. "So, there's somethin' th'two of us were jus' thinkin'," said Brisa...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz put her hands astride her hips and beamed. "Why, th'pleasure was mine, partner! Be seein' ya round, then." She eyed Destiny Tower as she strolled past the charmander-shade. "Say, Burhalla. Y'might wanna get up there. Time's a-flowin'." She wasn't worried, though. The odds were always...

    Luz looked up at Joule. Her fanged smile didn't fade in the slightest. "I'm not too worried about our sire. The posse always outdoes theirselves come time for a showdown. If'n yer worries concern facin' Joule, I suggest you get workin' on some form of solution to our predicament, though. I'm...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa sighed into the hug, and let a little of her tension go. "Keep forgettin' yer prodigious age," she muttered. "Anyhow, uh . . . I guess I always figured I'd grow up t'be fearsome. Dreamed of puttin' myself between folks and the harm that'd come to 'em. I just..." "I dunno. Like I...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa listened closely, shadow humming just at the threshold to examine the kind of feelings they were discussing. (It'd been easier to keep her gains in corruption in check since Luz started helping her train.) Her tail traced her patterns of memorisation, holding each point Owen made in her...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz raised a brow. "Well I hope I'm makin' a fantastic first impression fer the ultra shade community at large, such as it is," she quipped. She gestured vaguely with a paw. "You'd do well to socialise a bit, t'be honest. I never much minded bein' what an' who I am, but the folks'at did, they...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    "Then that's good enough fer me. Pleasure t'meetcha, Ultra Shade Burhalla." Luz scratched her chin thoughtfully. "Although, I'm curious. What d'you make of those folks as ain't based on a specific person their host has memories of? I mean there's Puddle, there's Cal . . . there's even...

    "It's what I reckon is true," drawled Luz, smirking. This one really was a brooder! "Say, you sure are a philosophical one, ain'tcha? I'm willin' to bet the flesh 'n' blood Burhalla would be ponderin' th'same sorta questions if he were here in yer place. Is there anythin' you've done in mind...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz folded her arms in a show of confidence. "Easy. Yer a shade what got the memories, character and cares of some fella called Burhalla. And that gives you as much right as him to go by that name and think of yerself as him. Y'ain't him, but yer th'same as him." She shrugged. "And ya could...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz beamed. Oh, yes, an excellent start! She offered a massive paw to shake. "Y'think you're Burhalla, huh? Well, partner, that either means y'got unclear memories, which don't seem likely, or y'got a crisis of identity, which sounds exactly like th'sorta thing a Team Spectrum familiar would...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz didn't recognise this charmander-shade... Definitely not Cal, though. Fantastic, another familiar she hadn't met! "Howdy, there!" she called. "I'm Zeraora Luz. I don't believe I've had the pleasure?" The fella looked as if he was going through some deep brooding. So long as he answered...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa gave her best effort at sitting calmly, and the shadows faded further. "I had so much trouble when I first used radiance and shadow, but since then I haven't had to fight so hard to keep my head in a scuffle. It ain't really about that any more. It's more like . . . the stuff that goes on...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Like her whole body was on fire. Like her mind was falling, falling, falling into a black heat. Like she had no choice. "I'm fine." She let herself lean on her friend a little. It didn't seem right to, but . . . he'd approached for the purpose. A number of things had seemed important to Brisa...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa had honed some defensive techniques back home on the trail, but her time on Cibus and her synergy with the team had led her to be damn near nothing but offensive power. She could take some hits, but this? This was an opportunity to eat dirt. She met the fire with wild laughter, knowing...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa's shadows screamed at her to take the hit. "Are ya sure?" she asked. "Seems like the sorta thing we oughta test. Could be a sight to see." How bad would it hurt to get hit by that many Fire Blasts? Pretty bad, right? But she could take it. She could take it.

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa's ears perked. "Trap technique? That some kinda defensive measure? Y'gonna spring a trap on me when I attack ya next?" Find out, the shadows urged. Rush in and let him test it out. If he can't handle using the ability, best to know now. She shook her mane free of the darkness a little...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Sure feels better'n when I was usin' shadows before," said Brisa, her voice betraying her exhaustion. "The feelings that come with it make sense. They feel . . . true, and bearable." She prowled over to Owen, and paced herself, allowing the shadows to dissipate a little. "Whatever this move...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "It feels like it's makin' all of me work harder," she said with a grunt of exertion as she contained the power in her muscles, and felt the prickling at her eyes. "It's like I can see the best possible way to land a hit, and pull up the power to do it." The shadows licked at Brisa's mind and...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    "Sure thing," said Brisa, with a grin. There was something fuelling the shadow, something at once wholly new and yet totally familiar. She dug a little deeper for the feeling... What did it mean that she had a duty? It meant that no matter what, she needed to keep going, try harder, do better...

    Destiny Colosseum ~ Training Rooms

    Brisa cocked her head. "Y'know, I was only fixin' to get trainin' in fer the sake of routine and groundin' myself, but now that y'mention it, there sure is somethin' different about my shadows since Diyem got free." She tensed her claws, reminded herself of her own miseries, that she was...
