[Roll]

[ooc] Ok... It won't change anything. Because... he's right and wrong. You'll all see why later. ^-^ But for now... Cuattle has been straining his powers just a bit too much. He has to take a rest now... [/ooc]

Before Welf, Asa, and Tikalis could leave, Cuattle suddenly collapsed. He was starting to form sweat, and yet, he seemed perfectly fine just a moment ago. Before anyone could move or say a thing, Asa stepped forward to pat the keymong's head. Her touch was cool to his forehead, and whatever warmth he had a moment ago was gone. Asa turned to go back to Welf, and lead the way, when Cuattle asked what happened. Asa stopped and turned to look at him with the same sad eyes that she gave Welf.

Asa: "Any abilities that you might have have to be used very carefully. This island absorbs most powers, besides two types of magic, and energy from people and objects. That includes your telekinetic abilities, and that skeletons life force here as well."
Everyone took a bit of time to note that Drake was acting a tad more docile.
Cuattles tails flared up, and he stood up in anger. "How do you know that my abilities are telekinetic?!"
Asa just gave him the same look, but said nothing. Instead, she turned and walked to the edge of the forest, stopping only in front of a large, browned tree that seemed older than everyone combined.
Asa: "I can only take three of you with me, and it is apparant that the young half-demon has them and that one is missing from this area. When we find him, we will not return until we complete the task. To do otherwise would be strenuous. I would suggest contructing a way off of this island while you wait, if you can manage to do so. I am sure you will like to leave as soon as you possibly can."

Welf and Tikalis went up behind Asa, who brandished a rod with an edge in the shape of a crescent moon with a star hanging from the center. There were little butterfly wings on it as well, and as she waved the rod around, the wings flapped and released a powdery substance that spread only to herself, Welf, and Tikalis. A little confused, Welf started trying to shake it off, but from out of no where, Asa's hand shot out towards his chest, but landed softly on it.

Asa: "Do not try and shake it off. It is your ticket to seeing the truth."
Welf: "...The truth... alright. Got it. Let's go then."
Asa: "Alright. Then follow me closely, and we'll go search for your friend very quickly. Do not, however, fall too far behind, or go too far ahead. When we find your friend, I will complete the spell, and you will be able to see the truth of this island."
Tikalis: "Which is..?"
Asa: "For you to find out when you see it. Let us go."

Asa swiftly ran off, with Welf and Tikalis trailing behind her, leaving Cuattle, Maria, and Drake to stand alone. Cuattle had to think about what she said about this island for a while, and Maria began to tend to Drake in order to find some way to weaken the islands grip on his life. 'Poor Keymong' thought Asa. 'If he had found out what I....we know, he may have been very upset. I must not tell him until he is ready.'
her thoughts never showed up on her face, as she ran through the forest looking for any life form that resided in it. She found one close by, and was surprised to see an aura of soul power coming from it. She sighed.

Asa: "Does your find wield souls?"
Welf: "I think so! I think it might be spirits though.."
Tikalis: "What's the difference?"
Asa: "In this case, none! We had better have him cut off that power before the island claims it for its own!"
Welf: "Ok then.... Then let's go a little faster, ok Asa?"

Asa had been running a little slower than Welf's maximum speed, and was embarressed to be told to go faster. However she nodded and complied by running a lot faster, and was starting to leave Welf behind. Tikalis was keeping up nicely, however, but he remembered her warning. They just kept on running..

[ooc] Um... yes, this island sucks up pretty much any type of energy, magic, mystic, or supernatural power. However, this means everything is limited. Welf's potions will not work (they are illusions, and the island is an illusion itself), Dante's soul thingy isn't going to help much, but that reason is to be revealed.......later. Telekinesis is gone, and whaddya know? Spirits and undeads die here. o.o; This island is a nightmare waiting to come down on top of everyone. I want you guys to find Dante, shut off his Soul rampage thing, and then find the rainbow hill at the center of the forest. Oh, and Asa's spell takes quite a bit of time to work, so, you won't be able to see the real forest for a tiny bit. Just... follow Asa. G'luck. [/ooc]
