(story so far so that the late comers can see it in one place)
I wake to the sound of rustling grass and the smell of blood. Only, I can’t see anything, not even when I open my eyes.
“Did we win?” I mumble breathlessly.
Akila wipes stray hairs away from her face. “Yeah, why?”
I grunt, struggling to sit up. “If we won, why am I bleeding?”
“When you got stabbed the enemy, everyone was so surprised they managed to hit such an amazing fighter they stopped and stared allowing us to take them by surprise and win.”
“Really?”
“No.”
“Akila, what is this thing on my eyes?”
“It’s a blindfold, of course.”
“Why is there a blindfold on my head if I’m bleeding?”
Akira tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “So you wouldn’t see your own blood and faint. But it looks like you managed to push it away. I’m begging you, right now, do not look at yourself.”
I glance down.
I see red. Literally. Who did this to me? my mind starts whirling but then my head begins to buzz and I no longer need the blindfold to cover my eyes, for I can’t even see with them open. The last thing I remember is Akira’s startled shout.

Pain. It’s all that is real in this world of misery. Sometimes I feel gentle hands bathing my wounds, but then the pain comes again and I let myself fall back into darkness.
Between periods of unconsciousness, I hear mumbling voices above me, including my brother’s voice. I feel warmth from the bathing water and from the fire, which I hear crackling to my left.
I must be back at Fren’s hideout. I think dimly. How did I get here? I open my eyes to see my brother’s snarling face.
“You made it, course you did. You always have to steal the glory.”
I wince at him. “Did it ever occur to you that I was almost killed?”
“Of course.” He scowled at his muddy boots. “I thought you were dead, until those people dragged you in here.” He looked me in the eye. It was that stare, that if stares could kill, I would have died two minutes ago.

Kapeefer til we're old and grey@catwing, I almost thought this topic was flawed or something since it took so long to be hijacked….
and thank you for educating us on chair and gravity history. to think that the humans have had it wrong for so long. good thing us centaurs try to find the truth

Kapeefer til we're old and grey@alia It took a few pages for one of mine threads to hijacked. But I got a GIF war so it’s all good. 😀
You are welcome. Felines have been trying to tell people for years, but they just scolded us. Though sometimes they would pamper us. But we have not forgotten our mission!
Prove that one of ancestors (who’s name is long lost) discovered gravity!
Even if it takes many years and many spilled cups!
Even if we have to rip up all of Newton’s stolen ideas from books! Though not all felines can read…
*cough*
Have you ever tried eating paper? Not from books though. You get to rip little pieces off and it tastes different depending on the type of paper. It is just fun sometimes.IMMA KAPEEFER! Til we're old and gray!
Every time you people hijack a thread, I freak out because on the Aetherlght forums, off-topic posts are either moved to Random Anything or deleted. Spamming is a federal offense.

With a flutter of blonde hair Akira jumps between us. “Fren! Settle this some other time, for goodness’ sake!”

@catwing Lol, you never know. 😀
@dekreel! NO! He’s my brother! XDI remember him mentioning he talked to Catwing a lot and had a lot in common (or something like that). Anyway, he doesn’t know what he could have said to make you think he was her brother. XD But he’s not, he’s my brother. Hope that’s cleared up any confusion. 😉

Kapeefer til we're old and grey“Where do you think your going?” Akira asks, pushing me back onto the bed. Tears begin to form in my eyes. I pull myself up again with trembling hands and forse my eyes to focus. “The Ravine.”
Akira’s blond head shakes back and forth. “Are you out of your mind?”
“Please!”
“No. You can’t. Just look at yourself! I know you want to get it, but its to way to dangerous. For anyone, let alone someone it the condition your in. You cant even think straight!”
I close my eyes. I might be scared of myself, but I am not out of my mind. I knew very well the consequences of leaving it there.
“If Fren wont go, I will. “
"In a mask, was he?"
Oops. I spelled force like forse. Sorry about that. Sorry its such a lousy part, but I wasnt sure what else to write.

@ariel-ashira Hey, I like where this is going! Just to be clear, who said the last bit of dialogue about Fren not going? Was it the nameless MC or Akira?

“No. You can’t. Just look at yourself! I know you want to get it, but it’s way too dangerous. For anyone. Let alone someone in the condition you’re in. You can’t even think straight!”
I close my eyes. I might be scared of myself, but I am not out of my mind. I know very well the consequences of leaving it there.
“If Fren won’t go, I will.” I put a hand to my spinning head and take a deep breath. It aches to breathe and my legs are stiff, but my mind is made up. I can’t leave the Stone there. I’d lost it before and my parents had given their lives to find it. Even though it’s hidden well, deep in the Ravine, the enemy could be searching for it. Even now.
Akira looks at me hard and seems to make a decision. “I’m coming with you.”

@dragon-snapper, HEY! WALLS HAVE FEELINGS TOO YOU KNOW! besides, you only have the permit for burning chairs. the wall permit is exclusive and I know for a fact you don’t have one since they only became available 3 minutes ago, and I got the only one
WIP - Decisions
Kapeefer til we're old and grey@alia @dragon-snapper As far as I have seen, @dekreel has had the wall-scratching rights around here. I have no idea about wall-melting rights, though. I had only previously heard of chairs and cellphones being melted.
