Anaya stood at the back of the lines. It wasn't that she was afraid of fighting; she knew she could hold her own in a battle. The real problem was that she was nervous someone would call her out on not belonging here. She wasn't a member of Excalibur anymore ... at least, she didn't consider herself as one. At the same time, when she found out what was happening, her mind was made up for her. She couldn't let her old friends (friends who were basically family) die without her trying to help.
She jogged in place quietly, trying to warm up her muscles as well as ignore those around her. She didn't want anyone asking who she was or what she was doing there. She wouldn't be able to stand it. So she avoided making eye contact with anyone and everyone. Still, she did a lot of watching. She watched the dragons interacting with their riders, foot soldiers preparing themselves for battle. Friends talking and laughing with one another, even in the dire circumstances.
Her heart longed for it, for Excalibur, but she wouldn't give in. Once the danger was past, she had to leave. She couldn't stay here, she just couldn't. No matter how much others- like Jake and maybe even Perseus- wanted her to. She wouldn't.
So she waited for the battle, trying immensely hard to not talk with anyone even though at the same time she longed to be reached out to, to have at least one friend that would wait with her until the battle began.

Chloe walked around through the ranks of Excalibur. She didn't really have anywhere to be until it started, so she was just having a look around. Not really much else to do, honestly. She smiled when she saw Anaya and walked up to her friend. "Hey. I didn't expect to see you here, or did Lieutenant Carew convince you to join us again?" she teased with a grin on her face. She wasn't sure if Anaya would take it as a joke, but she wanted it obvious that that's how it was intended. "Even if you don't, I'm glad you came. I missed you Anaya. I've been so worried about you," she confessed in a whisper. So much for keeping a light attitude. She couldn't help it. "How are you?" She turned to watch her friend, wondering if she still knew her well enough to be able to read her expressions. anaya isobel morne(ANYONE ELSE FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN!)

Anaya couldn't stop herself from searching the crowd. She knew it was pointless, but she was looking for him. Then she saw someone out of the corner of her eye and the person was coming straight towards her. She turned to look, glad for the distraction when she saw her old friend Chloe. At her friend's question, Anaya gave a rueful smile. "Yeah, well he told me about the battle and what was going on and that they could use everybody who could spare a hand. I might not be as good as I used to be," Anaya fought of the feeling of hopelessness and pain when she casually referenced Illyana. "But I'm quite decent when it comes to fighting. I'll help however I can."
She forced a smile when Chloe started talking about how much she missed her. "Really? I thought you would've been glad to be rid of me and all my ridiculousness," she teased, trying to lighten the mood. She looked away, casually glancing over all the people that surrounded her, not wanting to focus on anything at the moment. "I'm fine. Learning how to ... deal with life without her," Anaya answered in a whisper, not able to explain anything else. She was too choked up. Chloe Michelle Elliot

Chloe smiled when Anaya started to talk about Perseus. Yeah, those two were meant to be together! So where was he? Shouldn't he be with Anaya since he convinced her to join them for the battle? Ah, he was probably doing some lieutenant duty somewhere. Who knew when he'd be able to come back. Then Anaya mentioned Illyana and Chloe was stunned by her friend's sudden sadness. Sure, it was to be expected and most people probably wouldn't be able to tell but Chloe could. Anaya hadn't moved on. She'd been gone for more than a year, but she was obviously still carrying a lot of grief and guilt over what happened to her dragon. "You know I'll be here to help you too, right?" Chloe asked, hoping that Anaya would trust her that much. Her old best friend seemed to be a completely different person now. Chloe couldn't smile when Anaya tried to tease her. Instead, she put her hand on Anaya's shoulder. "Anaya, I did miss you. You are my closest friend, ridiculous or not. I was out there, searching for you with Lacey and Perseus." She tried to think of some way to hep Anaya but came up with nothing. "If there is anything I can do to help, you'll let me know, right?" Chloe gave a light smile, trying to seem reassuring. She didn't know how to help Anaya right now, but she wanted to. However, at the same time they were about to be attacked. She had to snap Anaya out of this mess. "You know, now probably isn't the best time to talk about this though. We are about to be attacked by a bunch of crazy dragons ..."

Anaya wanted to smile. She wanted to so badly, but she couldn't. As her dear friend spoke, Anaya couldn't help but let the guilt consume her. Not the guilt about Illyana, though that was always at the back of her mind. No, her guilt about abandoning Excalibur, her family in essence and quite literally too. Not once had she stopped to think about how her actions had affected them. She was too focused on herself. She nodded quickly "Yes. Thank you Chloe," she forced herself to speak, but her voice cracked as she did so, betraying her emotions. Why was she so messed up right now? She needed to pull herself together. "I know. I guess we'll have to talk about it all after the battle," she agreed, watching the sky. "Does anybody know when the dragons are actually going to appear? I mean, I'm always up for a good fight, but this wait is killing me!"

Chloe could tell that Anaya was about to lose it, so she decided not to push it. After all, the moments right before a battle probably were not the best moments to have such a deep conversation. Especially when it was bound to be full of emotions and tears. So when Anaya changed the subject a little, directing it to the battle, Chloe nodded and went along with it, laughing. "I wish I knew when it was going to start. That's one of the issues about not being high-up in the ranks. I know about the least amount of information possible. Maybe we should look for Perseus," she teased Anaya, hoping to raise her spirits. "I'm sure he knows more than me and I'm sure he'd love to explain it to you."

Anaya appreciated Chloe's attempt to go back to a lighter conversation, so she followed her lead, smiling just a little as Chloe made jokes about wishing she were higher-up in the ranks of Excalibur. "Well if you want I could always use telepathy to find out what's going on ... I'd just need to find someone high in the ranks that wouldn't mind me invading their mind," she said, not really meaning what she was saying. She tried to not speak telepathically to people without their permission (unless it was a close friend who wouldn't mind) and she never invaded someone's mind. Unless they were her enemy and she was trying to distract them ... but that was a different story. Then she mentioned Perseus and Anaya didn't know what to say. She would love to look for him, find him and know that he was alright. Granted, the battle hadn't even started yet so of course he would be perfectly fine, but she wanted to be near him. She wanted to be close enough to him during the battle that she could know he was safe and help if he needed it, but she couldn't find the courage to look for him now. She shrugged, "I'm sure he's too busy to have time to talk to us. Besides, I'm sure the battle will come along soon." Anaya tried to fight off the urge to go and look for Perseus, but it was hard. She wanted to find him so badly, but it wasn't her place. She didn't know if he felt anything for her and didn't want to push him. Chloe Michelle Elliot PERSEUS CAREW (so ... we might go and search for him ... depending on what happens. Or if you want you could have him run into them here. Haha just thought you should know he's at least being talked about here.)

Peter was running with his brother James, towards the group of Excalibur people that were waiting for the fight. Minutes before he'd been on a hill not far away and had seen the dragons flying this way. There were a ton. Peter wasn't particularly one to fear anything, but he wasn't excited for this battle. He liked the chance to show off his skills and fighting was fun, but he also preferred to do it in a setting where he knew that those he cared about were safe. Particularly James and Anaya. So the moment he saw the dragons he left the hill and began running through the camp. As he was running through, he found his brother and grabbed him, pulling him a long. There was no choice now. They were all going to be in a fight now. And if they were all going to be in a fight, he was going to make sure they did it together. As they came up on the group of Excalibur members, Peter scanned the group looking for Anaya. He grinned when he spotted her. Looking over at his brother, he nodded with his head, indicating where she was. Then he looked toward her, not checking to see if his brother kept up with him or not. He arrived just in time to hear here say that someone was too busy to have time to talk to them ... obviously by "them" she meant the girl she was talking to. Then she stated that she thought the battle would start soon enough. "Well," he drawled, not even the least bit out of breath, "I don't know who you're talking about, but I always have time to talk to you, Sis." He grinned at Anaya. Their easy friendship that basically bloomed into family relationships was something he cherished, as was teasing her. "And you're righter than you think about the battle. The dragons are almost here. I just saw them." He stopped smiling for a second. "Be careful, there are lots of them. I've never seen so many dragons." Then, unable to stay serious for long, he added, "but don't worry. That's why I came down from my perch on the mountain. To beat them all. Don't worry, I'll leave some for you ... maybe." He teased, looking up to the sky. Any minute now they would appear. anaya isobel morne Chloe Michelle Elliot James Sandor Stavish

Post by James Sandor Stavish on Apr 27, 2016 0:03:45 GMT
In the few days time since arriving at Excalibur, James had become known with the other healers and doctors in the camp. After having gotten help for their friend, Winter, James had sought out any opportunities he could to help around the medical tent. It’s where he felt most comfortable and why not help out? He wasn’t doing much else since they were in a state of limbo for the time being. When he wasn’t helping, he hung out with Anaya. She had once been a member of Excalibur, and it was interesting for James to see her reunite with old acquaintances. He knew she felt uncomfortable at times, and had tried his best to be there for her, if she needed him. She was like a sister to him and Peter and he would do anything for her. They hadn’t been in camp too long before they were joined by his very indigent younger brother, Peter. James had tried to explain the situation to his brother, after Winter was hurt they hadn’t had time to contact him before leaving to find help. Plus, after all the times of Peter leaving without letting he or Anaya know where he was or when he would come back, James felt little sympathy for his brother. But he was glad that Peter had joined them, especially if there was to be a battle as everyone was talking about. James was around the medical tent, helping to prepare for the coming battle when Peter came agilely running through the camp. He didn’t give James much time to grab his things before pulling him along with him in his run. He wasn’t sure where they were going, but James knew his brother well enough to follow and wait for the details. He figured they were headed toward Anaya, wherever she was. As they came in sight of the Excalibur group, both brothers slid to a halt to scan the crowds for the young woman. Peter spotted her first and indicated with his head to the area she was at and for James to follow. They jogged over to Anaya and the girl she was talking to. From the looks of it, James suspected that this girl was an old friend of Anaya’s, although he hadn’t met her since being in the camp. From the look on Anaya’s face, he knew she was trying hard to stay upbeat. James wasn’t sure if they had been talking about the past or the approaching battle, either subject could cause such a look. He felt a pang of concern for his friend. He then realized that Peter was talking and being a mite cocky at that. His mouth curved into a slight grin as he countered. “Shall we announce to the whole camp of your plan to fight this battle single handedly? I’m sure there will be many that would be happy to give you their place.” James stepped up next to Anaya. If there were as many dragons as Peter let on, this wouldn’t be an easy fight. He wanted to make sure Anaya was ok before the chaos ensued. He leaned down and spoke quietly near her ear. “Hey, you ok? Are you ready for this?”Peter Silva Stavish anaya isobel morne

Peter looked straight at his brother as he made fun of him and smiled wryly. Peter wasn't really surprised, James enjoyed making him look silly or egotistical or whatnot. Peter didn't really care, especially when he was among a group of people that didn't know him. The one person that really mattered to him was Anaya. He knew something was wrong with her, and that was why he was trying to lighten the mood. Being sensitive wasn't really his forte and she knew that. He handled things in a different way. "I don't think we really need to announce anything, James. As soon as the fight starts, anyone nearby will clearly see my abilities. No need to make them feel inferior before their time," he teased in a soft voice, winking at Anaya and her friend in the process. "And who is this Anaya?" he asked, gesturing to the other young woman. As he waited for her response, he glanced up at the sky. Any second now the dragons would reach them and start flying above them. He hadn't missed the leader's call for the group to be quiet and he looked up at the sky. The storm was on its way. anaya isobel morne James Sandor Stavish Chloe Michelle Elliot

Anaya spun around when she heard the familiar voice behind her. She smiled when she realized that Peter finally made it, and wasn't surprised to see James right behind him. She'd missed having both of them together. She actually laughed as Peter spoke. No doubt he could see how close her emotions were to the surface and was doing his best to help her release them through laughter. "Aww thanks Peter. I had no idea you cared so much," she teased, laughing even more when he started talking about the battle that was about to happen. "Don't worry, I'll just stand behind you and take care of the dragons you leave in your wake," she challenges back, smiling when James jumps in too. Then Peter challenged Jame's attack too so she couldn't help but laugh again. " Oh, how I've missed these two," She thought to herself. They lifted her spirits and just gave her a breath of fresh air. She just watched the two go at it. It was actually quite therapeutic. They both ask her a question and Anaya answers Peter first, hoping that she can get him talking with Chloe. "Oh, sorry. Chloe you already know James, but Peter, this is Chloe. Chloe, this is Peter." She looked at them expectantly and then turned her attention to James. She wrinkled her nose at him, trying to keep her attitude light and composed. She didn't want to cry, so she wasn't going to go there. "I'm all right. Just have to make it through this battle and then we'll have to see what happens after that. I see Peter got here just in time," she teased, trying to change the subject and not discreetly at all. Chloe Michelle ElliotPeter Silva StavishJames Sandor Stavish

This was so interesting. Chloe didn't know exactly how she was supposed to respond to this. Since she first saw Anaya, she noticed something dark and sad, but with these two ... Anaya was a new person. Granted, she was still sad. The depression was there, but it was hidden. What was this relationship she had with these two? Chloe wasn't sure what to do. Did she want to laugh at them, or was she supposed to stay in a serious mood. Then Anaya started laughing, so she smiled. It was nice to see Anaya smiling. Granted ... she seemed to do that around Perseus enough, but when he wasn't around the sadness came back. Then Anaya introduced Chloe to Peter before turning to talk to his brother. Well, she might as well talk with him while waiting for the battle to start. "Hi Peter. Uh, how do you know Anaya? Wait ..." she looked at him for a second. "Are you related to James?"anaya isobel morne James Sandor Stavish Peter Silva Stavish

Peter could tell that James wanted to talk to Anaya and had the feeling that it was the conversation he wouldn't be particularly adept at participating in. So he turned his attention to ... Chloe. The girl Anaya just introduced him to. She was actually really pretty and he was looking forward to this conversation. He smiled wryly at her seemingly uncomfortable greeting. Apparently she didn't know what to say to him. Then he laughed at her deduction. It took a while, but she actually recognized it sooner than most. It took most people a few days to realize they were related. Even longer to notice that they were even closer than that. "Hey," he responded to her greeting. "I met Anaya about a year back. We ... connected in a rather gruesome battle against some dragons. Then she joined our rebel group and now she's like a sister to me. How do you know her?" He already assumed Chloe was going to say something about meeting her in Excalibur, but he wanted to know more about Anaya, what she went through before she knew him and James. "James is my brother," he confirmed. "Annoying sometimes and really likes to get in my way, but he's all I have. Other than Anaya, that is." He smiled, waiting to see if this observant young woman would notice anything else about he and James. Chloe Michelle Elliot

Chloe could hardly believe what he was saying. He was close to Anaya? Like family? Granted, that would explain how she relaxed when he and his brother were around and how they helped lift her spirits, but she'd only been away for a year. How could she build family relationships between these two brothers that were that strong in less than a year? "Anaya and I were, I mean, are best friends. We met when she joined Excalibur with her sister Lacey. We used to do everything together. We practiced fighting, I helped her with her telepathy. We were as close as sisters almost. Until ..." she hesitated and glanced toward Anaya to make sure she wasn't listening. She wasn't. Anaya was too involved in her conversation with James. "Until her dragon died. Anaya disappeared. I spent the last year looking for her. Is she ... how is she?" she asked. Chloe didn't want to pry, but this was Anaya! She needed to know what happened with her over the last year. She laughed at Peter's description of his brother. "Well, he seems nice enough to me. And besides, aren't brothers supposed to be annoying? You two seem to get along really well. How did Anaya get so close with you two?

Peter could sense Chloe's confusion, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was about. He was sure some of it had to do with himself and James and their relationship with Anaya, but why would that be confusing? People built friendships every day. Some grew closer than others and the three of them had simply grown quite close. He smiled as Chloe explained how she and Anaya had become best friends. He liked to think of Anaya that way. Young, fun-loving, enthusiastic. He occasionally got glimpses of her that way, but most of the time she only faked the more positive attitudes. Not everyone could tell that, but he could. Peter opened his mouth slowly, his eyes flickering to Anaya when Chloe's did. He wasn't sure exactly how to answer Chloe's question. "She's ... had a hard time of it. She was quite broken down for a while, but then she learned to hide it, mostly. I can generally tell when she's upset, when she's missing her dragon. I know she missed Excalibur a lot as well, but she feels a lot of shame. She blames herself for what happened."He grinned when the conversation steered to more easy topics. "Well James does really good at tricking people into thinking he's nice. Of course brothers are supposed to be annoying, but I'm the annoying one! James is supposed to be the responsible, good one." he laughed, not really meaning what he said. Both he and James had a gift for being annoying when they wanted to be. Peter's eyes darkened when he thought of how he'd found Anaya. Broken down, fighting for her life but with no heart in it. She'd almost died. If it hadn't been for him and James, she would have. "We found her fighting a dragon. She was really torn up. Once we helped her defeat the dragon we tried to help her, but she wouldn't have it. It took us a while to convince her to let us help. When she finally did, I think she saw us differently. She started to confide in us, trust us. We became best friends and more. She's as dear to me as James is," he finished seriously, a more unique attitude for Peter to have. Chloe Michelle Elliot
