Alouli nods.
"If you don't mind my asking, why are we here? The last thing thing I remember doing is swimming and then waking up here."
There a pain in Alouli's head when she tries to remember something and then she forgets.
"I should be going home now."

"I saw you in my crystal ball...well, my brother's" Brianna said, Lorena nodded.
"I'm Brianna's ride".

"You have a crystal ball, Mom? Well...your brother does?" Silas asked, intrigued.

"Stanley had it, in fact, he had it for a long time now but hid it from me until I really needed it", Brianna replied. "Say, where do we go now? Shall we look for your father, Silas? Or shall we take this fair maiden home?"

"What about this signature? It's still here, so it's not the goblins." Silas replied to his mother.

Averis walked down the beach, a long string of curse words following her every step. It wasn't a good day. First her Necromancy was gone. Second there were no dead things. Third she was dead. And fourth and most importantly HER NECROMANCY WAS GONE.
"Stupid fucking death had to take away my fucking necromancy powers. I mean what the hell it's not like I did anything bad with them. I mean, I reanimated a crab, ohh scary. And a couple demons, but that's not the point. Point is, I want my Necromancy back goddammit!"
After a few miles of walking she stopped on the sand. There were signatures in the distance.. and corpses. Someone had had a fight and hadn't thought to invite her!
"Hey!" Averis waved her hand in the air, running towards the figures, "Are you guys dead too? I'm pretty sure I am but I haven't got a freaking clue where this place is supposed to be! Hey can you guys hear me over here? Hello!"

Silas armed himself when the signature drew close...but oddly sounded friendly. "Uh...Mom? What should we do?" He asked.

Brianna had to think, "I don't know what to do. I guess we fight if it's a hostile". She swung Lune around, her head turning rapidly. "I still don't see anyone with a fire aura...just the aura.."

"I could swear it had fire coming from it...wait, that person's the signature!" Silas said, pointing to the figure running towards them.

Averis frowned, drawing nearer to the small group. They seemed to be staring right at her, or rather, right through her. It was as if they couldn't see her at all.
"Hey!" Averis called again, "Hey, Brandon, is that you? It's me, Averis! Remember, I was the Necromancer, we travled together, I saved your life a couple times!"
She came to a stop in front of the two figures. Still no reaction, she frowned, "Hey lady!" She called out, "Hey, what's the matter with you two? You look like you've seen a ghost or something."
She paused, stepping back. Technically she WAS a ghost. She was dead wasn't she? Perhaps they couldn't see her form because she was... well... unseeible. Perhaps that was the case, but even so, she had to have SOME way to communicate. It was obvious they knew she was there.
Maybe I could try... oh! I know.. now, what was that word Elliot used again?
She pointed a finger at the ground, focusing in on her newfound pyrokinetic powers and began writing a message in the sand.
"Dear Brandon,
I'm right in front of you, penis fruit.
Love, Averis
PS. Who's the chick?"
She stood back admiring her handywork, staring at the lot of them expectantly.

((Well I know that much. =P I mean it didn't seem like she could see her physical form. She said she saw the signature, the 'fire aura' but just the aura, not an aura with a person attached.))

((Alright then, I'll just delete that other post so I can revise this.))
"Mom, look! There's writing in front of the signature!" Silas pointed out, leaning down to the text. "...Whoever they are likes insults, apparently. And, if they're listening...hey! Wherever you are! The name's Silas, not Brandon! You're thinking about my uncle! ...Oh, and the other person is my mother, but I'm apparently meeting her a bit in the past!" He said in the direction of the signature. "Averis...she had...what kind of power again? Necro-something..."

"Necromancy!" Averis cried. She frowned a little bit, thinking back on Brandon. He had a twin sister, Brianna. She frowned at the girl standing in front of her. She pointed a finger at the sand, drawing an arrow pointing to the dark mage.
"Brianna?" She wrote the word in the sand and then below it, "You don't look anything like Brianna. What, did you finally hit puberty." She glanced at Silas again. The only person she'd ever seen Brianna Skyblade with was Shane... and that happened to be her son. She stared at Silas for a second. Wait.. does that make me his... Grandmother? I'm only sixteen! I'm too young to be old and wrinkly... also too dead but that's beside the point.
She decided to ignore that part and went with the other point Brandon Jr. had touched upon.
"Yes! I am a Necromancer. The problem is my Necromancy has been replaced with PYROmancy, so now instead of being able to raise the dead and do all that kinds of cool stuff, I just get to wave around my little finger flamethrower like some sort of low level mage." she crossed her arms, "Do you think there's some way I could get my Necromancy back? This fire thing gets old fast."

Silas shook his head at the message. "No, not THAT Brianna! That's my aunt! This Brianna is my mother!" He explained, now focusing on the magic part. "I...don't know how you could get it back. Umm...speaking of you apparently being a ghost...how did this place not only summon an ironically dead necromancer and replace her magic and summon someone from the future, like me? This is really getting weird..." He said. ((The small text being muttered to himself.))

Brianna stifled a laugh at "penis fruit", "Listen, I've noticed a lot of weird stuff too. Namely, everyone's powers being replaced by powers corresponding to their birthday. That's probably what happened to you. What is your birth month? If you have pyrokinetics, then you're likely February or September. I want to get to the bottom of this as well, so I've been investigating. This is also the cause in the rise of monster attacks. People are becoming weaker with their powers".

Averis blinked. Since when were there two Briannas? That seemed incredibly strange. She was glad for the fact that she didn't seem to have a physical form, or else she'd have been gaping at Brianna right now.
"Ye gods, as if we needed two of them" she muttered to herself.
"Your Guess is as good as mine." Averis scrawled out into the dirt. She turned to Brianna, writing, "Seems like a strange way to go about assigning powers. I was born during the growing season if that helps. Our months don't quite line up with yours I'm afraid, but it was fall if that helps any." she frowned, "Then you don't know how I'm supposed to get my Necromancy back?" She drew a little frowning face in the sand beside her words to express her disappointment.

"Likely September then", Brianna replied. "That's the only fire month during the fall. It is a strange way, but it works for the Alphanimalians. It helps them not abuse their powers too much". Careful, she thought, don't want to upset her. "I'm working on it, but no, haven't figured it out yet. I'm trying to though, maybe all of you can be of some help to my investigation".

Averis's form stayed silent this time. She didn't seem to need to respond to that, just silently nodding. At length she began writing in the sand again.
"Anything to get my powers back." she said, "I've got some friends still in the world of the living. I wonder if they've been effected by this too."

"So...what should we do now, Mom? Should we get that other girl home first? Or try to get Averis's necromancy back or something?" Silas asked.

Averis frowned a little. She'd barely even noticed the other girl. At length she began to write again.
"Take the girl home first. My powers can wait." she scrawled out, "Hell, I could even help you with that. What do you say?"

Silas nodded to the signature. "Alright, we'll do that. But, how can you talk to us while we're doing this if you've needed to write the whole time?"

Averis frowned a little bit. The boy did raise a substantial question. She crossed her arms, thinking on it. Apparently, fire was the only thing she could use to communicate with the living world. She seemed to have a lot of it. She frowned, a thought forming in her mind. This might take a little work.
She concentrated in on her newfound pyromantic powers, creating a large ball of fire in the air. She added more and more magic into the flame until the thing seemed to burn on its own. Then, as the seconds progressed she began to sculpt the flame like an artist, carving a statue out of marble. She made arms first, then legs, then the head, and lastly the torso. Perhaps her work wasn't the work of the gods or of a master artist, but it was decent and workable for a surrogate body. She let her spirit take the reigns of her fiery creation now. She blinked a few times, getting used to moving the fire around for a second before she turned to Silas, smiling.
"How's this?" she asked.

Silas merely blinked at the display, almost not comprehending how such a feat was even possible. "That'll...definitely do. Just...make sure that fire doesn't actually hurt anything it touches, if that's possible..." He said. Ye gods, how did she DO that!? ...Hey, I used that old phrase again.

Brianna was nothing short of amazed. Yes, the woman just crafted herself a body from flame.
"If you would help us, that would be fantastic". Then, she looked at Silas, "After we get the girl home, should we find your father and take him back here to help us as well? He would be the only person of us to retain his powers besides me".

Averis smiled faintly for a second, before letting the spell drop. She began writing again.
"I can't hold that form indefinitely, but it'll work when I need to be present." she wrote, "You lead the way. I'll try to keep up."

Averis floated lazily over Brianna's large companion. She appeared momentarily as a fiery figure, hovering slightly over the snow leapord's flank, legs crossed.
"I'll try to keep up." she said, smiling a little before disappearing again.
