Ajani Naxaein Returns

Ajani walks in through the Castle gates.
"'Jani!!!" She looks up to see Maralen, her best friend, one of the only people to know her secret, sprinting toward her.
Crap... she thought, just as she got fly-tackled by the speeding frost-elf.
"Groan... You REALLY need to stop doing that, Ari. It HURTS!"
"Hehe, can't 'elp it, yano?"
"Noya. But seriously Ari, you NEED to stop doing that. I could have been injured. Hell, I AM injured!"
"!!! I'MSOOOOOOOSORRYOHNOWHAT'VEIDONE?!?!?!ICOULD'VEKILLED'ER...!!!"
Ajani watched Ari freak and fret for a minute before reassuring her that it was minor, it was nothing to worry about, that she was fine.
After she calmed down, Ari noticed that Ajani's breasts weren't bound anymore.
"Oi 'Jani, you're not taped!" she exclaimed, "did sommat 'appen 'n the Land of Earth?"
As Ajani remembered exactly WHY she had come home, she winced painfully with the memory.
"Ari, we should wait 'til we get back to my rooms, yano?"
Ari looked askance at her, "Ooookay...", she said slowly.
And off they went.

Daniel was walking down the hallway with his head down thinking about stuff on his mind. Hearing the echos of his feet, he wasn't paying attention to where he was going and bumped into someone, knocking him back a few steps as not to fall on his ass.

As they were walking, Ari and Ajani accidentally bumped into someone.
"Eh? Oh, I'm sorry! Are you OK?"
"Yea, what she said!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going and yes I'm ok." He said as he raked his fingers through his hair.

"Hi, I'm Ajani and this is Maralen, but I call her Ari," she said, bowing.
"Yup, Ari, that's me, yano!" Ari was bouncing up and down, happy to have met someone new.
"We were just going to my rooms, would you like to join us?"

"Oh i'm sorry, i forgot my manners." He bowed a bit, "My name is Daniel James Fern." He straighten up and rubbed the back of his neck, "Anyway, I guess I could come, I have nothing esle to do."

"Yay!" Now Ari was LITERALLY bouncing off the walls.
"Eh, come on Dannyboy, let's go." As they set off, Ajani suddenly got the urge to play some music.
She started humming a tune that she had heard during her travels, quietly at first, then louder until she started singing the song.

"Telling me to go,
But hands beg me to stay,

Your lips say that you love,
Your eyes say that you hate,

There's truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith,
What you build you lay to waste,

This truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith,
All I've got's what you didn't take..."

And then, surprisingly, Ari continued.

"So I,
I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces,

And you,
You will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets,

Don't lie.."

"You promise me the sky,
Then toss me like a stone,

You wrap me in your arms,
And chill me to the bone,

There's truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith,
All I've got's what you didn't take..."

"So I,
I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces,

And you,
You will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets,

Don't lie,

So I,
I won't be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces,

And you,
You will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets,

Don't lie......"

"My, Ari, I didn't know you knew that song!" She said shaking her head in wonder.
"Eh, whathca gonna do Love, yano?"

Daniel hummed as she sung it. Daniel liked music. "I think I remember this song but I don't remember, I don't really remember anything."

"Hmm, What 'appened, love?"
Ajani's feelings echoed Ari's inquiry.
"Yeah, Dannyboy, what happened?"

Daniel stopped, "I can't remember, all I remember is waking up in bed and my head was hurting a lot."

"They never said what happened either." He looked up to them and smiled, "But I'm ok really." *I think*

"Really? ok anyway." Daniel put his hands in his pockets and Followed them.

After about 20 minutes of walking, they finally arrived at Ajani's quarters.
"Ahhhhh, home, sweet home!"

'Well that is quite a long walk." Daniel said as he stretched his back.

"Hey, don't blame me! I just bunk where they tell me."
"Hey 'Jani!" Ajani jumped, giving a little squeak of surprise. A young girl with cat's ears and a monkey's tail was hanging upside-down from a torch bracket on the wall.
"RAEVEN!!! WHAT THE BLOODY FEKKIN' HAELL DO YE THINK YEZ DOIN'?!?!?!"
The girl jumped down, landing with incredible grace in front of the trio.
"Whoa there, Cuz, don' go all 'Chaic on me, was jest a joke!"
"Not in my damn room your not! This is MY room!
How in the Machina's name did you get in here? I thought that I had warded it securely?"
"Ain't a door this Thief cai't open! also, you left your window open."
Ajani stood there for a second with a slightly confused look on her face.
Then she slowly walked to the wall, then began to bang her forehead against it repeatedly.
"Damnit...OW!...I'm an idiot...OW!...so stupid...OW!..."
"Anyways, Dan, meet Raeven, Raeven, meet Dan. Now that introductions are made, STOP THAT BLOODY BANGIN'!!!"

"Crap, this is a crazy as Jack and Raven." Daniel said, "Hey your a polka. Half person half animal. I never meet one."

Daniel laughed, "That is what Jack says too, I think he is cause he has this really cool move he dose."

"What's the move?" they all say in unison.

"He calls it the Hidden mole technique, it's suppose to hide his tracks and stuff to make it look like he was never there and transport him somewhere else......but there is one side affect, every time he uses it, welts appear on one part of his body and if he uses it all 6 times....he....dies." Daniel looked sad, "He is the only one who can do that move cause he is the one who created it."

".......Wow.....Why can't I do that!?!?! I wanna do it!!!"
"Oh Machina, please no..."
"I bloody well second tha'."
"....You guys are meanyfaces..."
The other two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. Hysterically.
"...jzzzz...Why is everyone so MEAN to me?!?"

"If you even try to attempt it, you will die like others did, for some reason only Jack can do it, i think it's cause he is the only one who has both Light and Darkness." Daniel said as he sat down.
